Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

Hours later, Geth stretched and left the center formation. The work hadn\'t been as easy as he thought.

Harris had non-stop handed him vials of liquid Mana. Most, he had to drink to keep his MP full.

The liquid Mana tasted very similar to Gatorade. Each ounce of the liquid could restore about 50 Mana.

"I need to refine these. I wonder what its effects will be if I merge it with a Goblin core?" He\'d said to Harris. Even so, he decided to focus on his current priority.

It surprised him the first time he\'d grabbed a Level 20 Slime Core. It had cost him 1600 MP to liquify it. A majority of the Cores he had available were Level 20 or higher.

After the first few rounds of potion crafting, he\'d decided to use Mass Blessing to increase his recovery and MP by a bit.

"Harris, how many potions did we end up making?" Geth queried.

The man finished stacking the last of the vials and turned around, "It ended up being 208 before we ran out of vials. Can we still produce it in a larger container?"

"Yes, we can and will. For now, I need a break. My mind is burning from using Mana constantly." He said.

Harris nodded, "I\'ll tidy things up here then. You get some rest. Filthy should be back with Glass in the next few hours."

"Hahaha. Did the guy actually name himself Glass?"

"Yeah, he told me that he\'d thought it on the spot and his Grimoire accepted it before he could change his mind." Harris Shrugged.

Geth shook his head, "Well, it certainly isn\'t the worst I\'ve seen."

Harris shooed him away after that. Geth took his time heading back to the catacombs. He needed sleep, and more so, he needed a bath.

For now, he was looking inside of his mind. The dome that housed his Runes and Mana was a dull red color.

Some cracks had taken shapes in the walls. Now that Geth had stopped, his Mana was easing itself up the walls and filling the damages.

\'You should be careful. If it wasn\'t for your high Recovery rate and Magic Resistance, the world\'s Mana could have forced its way in and killed you.\' Albus warned him.

"But I thought that my body and mind had been reformed by the Mana?" Geth asked.

\'That is true. The Mana reformed your body so that it treats you like a native. Your mind is a different story.

The dome was created by formations that are built into my pages. As you gain power, the Mana is purified through me and becomes a source of your own.

If it weren\'t for that, you wouldn\'t be able to use Skills or Talents naturally. You would have had to personally etch Runes on your body or draw them out in the air for effects to take place.\'

Geth stopped walking and looked at Albus floating in front of him. His white cover gave off a bright purple luster.

Purple Runes were etched across his bindings, giving him the look of something ancient. The Grimoire would constantly grow alongside Geth.

"What exactly are you, Albus?"

*Sigh* Geth heard the sound in his mind.

\'I honestly don\'t know. I have no memory from before you first killed that Slime.

I can see vague pictures at times. I\'ve seen the land expanding and monstrous creatures roaming the skies.

I\'ve seen humans in chains. I\'ve seen blood soaking the ground.

It doesn\'t matter what small vision I get. I can\'t place myself in any of those situations.

Whenever you Level up or come across something new, it\'s like memories rush into me. Those memories make me feel like I had some past before you.\'

Geth was silent. He really didn\'t know how to respond. Albus was already sentient...

Was he shoved inside of a book or something? What about the Grimoires that were part of everyone else?

Both of them stayed silent for a while, neither really sure what to say. It was a bit of a dark subject if you thought deeply about it.

Geth walked into the catacombs and into his room. The girls both jumped whenever he opened the door.

Alise was posed on top of Zolis. Both of their faces held a shade of red as sweat glimmered on their bodies.

"Am I interrupting?" He grinned as he looked at the two beautiful women.

"Huu... You should come and join us," Zolis said sweetly.

"How about the two of you join me for a bath, and then we get some rest. I plan on us heading out the morning after tomorrow.

Zolis, I expect you to be ready. Alise... you\'ll need to decide what you want.

If this was just a fling between the three of us, then that\'s fine. If you really want to be with us, then I suggest we talk things through."

Geth pulled off his gear and laid it on a nearby chair. He adjusted the pauldron so that it looked like the basilisk was guarding his equipment.

It looked cool to him, but both of the ladies started snickering at his childishness. He shook his head at them and headed for the bath.

Zolis and Alise followed him in. He sat back and relaxed as the two women bathed each other.

"So, where are we going from here?" Alise asked.

Geth opened one eye and looked at her. He could feel his blood rushing while watching her hands run across Zolis\' chest.

"I still plan on taking over the Region. Albus has drawn up a more accurate map, and we have a general idea of where each Dungeon will be.

The next step will be to find and recruit some survivors. Finding trustworthy survivors will be difficult, however."

Zolis stopped lathering Alise and looked at him, "Why don\'t we head towards the schools. I\'m sure you\'ll find plenty of teens to train.

Their parents may have headed in those directions as soon as they woke up. Young minds will be easier to bend, and young men are always looking to prove themselves.?

Geth thought about it for some time. It was a damn good idea, and he felt dumb for not thinking of it first. He nodded in approval.

"All right," He said. "Now enough business, come over here and show me what you two have been up to!"
