The Idle System (A LitRPG series Book 7): Family, Pegaz [learn to read books txt] 📗

It took over a week while using the Nobody Sect’s teleport system to get from the planet he teleported to, to one of the planets closest to the centre; however, when he got to this planet, he couldn’t find a teleport rune for the planet he needed to get to.

John used the teleport rune to go to the surface of the planet and flew to the nearest town.

He then used the local teleport system to reach the planet’s biggest city which housed the Adventurers’ Guild’s public teleport system that went to different planets.

Just like the Nobody Sect’s teleport system, the Adventurers’ Guild numbered the planets starting from the centre of the universe going outwards.

The planet John was on was labelled number one, but on John’s universal map, it wasn’t the planet closest to the centre.

Why would this planet be number one when there’s a planet closer to the centre? Does the numbering system they came up with start at zero?

Why isn’t there a teleport rune to that zero planet either?

To make sure it wasn’t a simple mistake, John went to planets two through five and checked all the teleport runes the Adventurers’ Guild and Nobody Sect had, but there weren’t any to get to planet zero.

John scratched his head.

What should I do now? The number one planet is the closest, but it’ll still take me months or maybe years of travelling to get there if I travel through space.

I’ve got no choice though.

John used the universal map to travel back to the number one planet, then flew into the air and was just about to enter space when he stopped.

Wait, the Creation’s Oxygen skill transforms the carbon dioxide in my lungs to oxygen for me to breathe, but what happens if I’m in space and it escapes my lungs by accident?

There won’t be any carbon dioxide for the skill to work on, meaning there’s a chance I would suffocate to death.

I can use the universal map to teleport back to a planet to avoid dying, but any time and effort I used to get to planet zero would be wasted. That would mean the Transcendent has more time to find Sarah and Kelly, that’s unacceptable!

After thinking up to here, John took a big inhale and carried on flying to outer space.

It didn’t take long for John to pass the planet’s orbit. After leaving any kind of gravitational pull from the planet, John made sure he was going the right way before he pushed Toxin Power while using the time element to travel at his fastest speed, Mach 6.

He then stopped using any time element and Toxin Power. He wasn’t sure if his system could remove any damage to his brain by overusing the time element a second time, but he was still travelling at full speed because there was no resistance or any kind of force that would slow him down in space.

Using the space element, he tried to fold the space between him and planet zero, but the space element disappeared—like it was never there—before he could do so.

Is it because I’m moving too fast?

Using Toxin Power on his chest and legs, he came to a stop and just floated there.

Lifting his hand in front of him, he used the space element once more. He became disappointed when it disappeared just like last time.

What the hell is going on? I can use the space element on a plane or planet, but not in actual space? There’s got to be more to it than that.

Using the time element and Toxin Power, John travelled at his fastest speed before he stopped using them again.

John spent the next two months travelling through the dark, lonely silence.

He was bored and kept looking at the universal map. It showed he had travelled about one fifteenth of the way.

I knew humans were too small to make a real good or bad difference in the universe, and maybe even immortals and Transcendents are the same. However, feeling how insignificant you really are while travelling through space is a real blow.

Before this trip, he knew he was small compared to the whole universe, but it wasn’t until now that he realised just how small he really was.

Even though he was going as fast as he possibly could, his destination planet would have travelled around the sun it was orbiting about two and a half times.

John took out his communication device and pressed the button. The device buzzed a little, but nothing happened after that.

It’s not connecting to Sarah’s communication device? Is it because I’m in outer space, the sealed space I put around the planet Sarah’s on, or the Transcendent found her?

John’s thoughts went to the worst possible outcome as he tried the communication device over and over again.

It must be because of the sealed space around the planet. It has to be...

While calming himself down, something bright in the far distance caught his eye.

Turning his body a little to look in the direction he came from, he saw a small and bright blue dot. It only took a few seconds later for that blue dot to become much bigger.

What the hell is that?

A few seconds more and his question got answered as he saw a comet with a large blue tail.

I remember learning about comets back on Earth. It shouldn’t have a tail unless it passed by a sun or something that heated the surface. Did it pass by a sun recently?

Wait, that’s not the point. It’s coming directly at me. Maybe I can use it to get to planet zero quicker since it’s catching up to me.

John waited a few seconds for the comet to come closer. It wasn’t until then that John realised the comet was going in a slightly different direction. If he continued going the speed he was going at, the comet might miss him.

John pushed Toxin Power in front of him to stop his movement and to try and stay in the comet’s path.
