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

John knew Tom wouldn’t end well, but his past self didn’t even know Brad was in on it. So, John floated behind Brad and infected him with some slow-acting poison.

When his health is deteriorating, hiring assassins to kill my past self will be the last thing on his mind.

That was when John remembered something else he might have to do for his past self to succeed.

Chapter 41: Behind the Tournament

John arrived outside the specialty shop and looked at the woman inside with his Immortal Eye.

He thought that this woman was an immortal because of the mask she wore, but he was wrong.

She must be a member of the Nobody organisation, maybe to gather information for the assassins or spies.

John used his time element to stop time before opening the door. He knew a door being opened by an invisible man might scare a few people who saw it, and he didn’t feel like waiting for somebody to open it for him.

When he arrived in front of the woman, he used O’Malley’s Manipulate All skill on her. “When a young man asks about the holding bags, tell him you’ve got two for sale. When he asks to borrow the smaller bag, pretend to think about it and agree to give him the smaller one.”

He then told her the price the bags would be on sale for, and he knew this price would scare his past self. Then he told the woman a description of the young man.

John then watched his past self go through all the events he remembered.

When he watched his past self go to Rocky Town, John thought about the ruins he found in another area and wondered if he needed to do something for those events to happen.

So, he flew to the area where the ruins were and then went into the cave where the trap door was supposed to be, only there was nothing there!

Don’t tell me that I’ve got to create the whole thing? I remember this was the place I learned about Life Power and immortals for the first time. Was it my future self giving my past self a goal of immortality?

John sighed while using his earth and metal elements to create the ruins to how he remembered it, traps included.

He made sure the walls were all smooth before he used his ice element to make it freezing.

John made the four pillars in the large room which had a Chinese dragon, a phoenix, a white tiger, and a black tortoise carved on them. When his past self got there, his metal element would control them and create the illusion of them being alive for the events that were supposed to happen.

After he made the throne, the counter behind it, and after remembering the contents, the metal book that told his past self about immortality, he wondered what he should do for the skeleton that was supposed to be sitting here.

That was when he teleported back to Newbie Town, grabbed Tom’s body that was buried not long ago, and teleported back to the ruins. He used the time element on the body until there were only bones left.

He took some clothes out of his Storage Space, dressed up the body, and positioned it on the throne.

When his past self managed to come here, he caused the four pillars to come alive for his past self to take the “test”. He used Kelly’s Auditory Illusion’s Creature skill to make a human speak to his past self after all four creatures were destroyed. His past self then learned everything inside the metal book before leaving.

I guess the first Sider on this planet—and king of the Eastern Kingdom—really was the person they remembered and not a puppet.

After that event, nothing else needed his intervention until his past self went to prison. That was when he remembered that he needed the boss and his gang to attack his past self, and he always thought that attack was random.

When his past self got into the bar fight and got sent to jail, John followed. Inside the prison, John went up to a guy he remembered fighting in the upcoming fight, used O’Malley’s Manipulate All skill, and ordered the man to tell his boss about the new guy.

He also ordered the man to tell a few lies to rile up the boss to attack his past self.

It went as planned as he watched the fight play out how he remembered it. He remembered the very close call of his defence points skyrocketing because of a skill getting completed just before the boss’ punch that would’ve killed his past self.

He didn’t have to do anything else until his past self was using the lure machine for the first time.

John turned his Scan back on but didn’t find the creature he remembered. He flew around and managed to find the Komodo Dragon over twenty miles away. It was eating a prey it had just killed, but John used his threads to wrap around it and drag it towards his past self.

His past self killed it and he watched as they had a party.

John smiled.

I was a good actor back then. With my past self laughing, chatting, eating, and drinking merrily, you wouldn’t think I was depressed and still grief-stricken about Lisa’s death.

After the party ended, John watched his past self carry on with his life until the battle against the Western Kingdom’s army.

Remembering what happened, John created threads and placed them along his past self’s arms to make an invisible blade roughly eight inches wide. This way, when he clotheslined the people in the army, the threads would behead them regardless of their armour.

So this is what happened! I’ve always wondered how I did what I did and why I didn’t get anything for my Time Pool after killing so many people! It was my future self that technically did the killing!

It’s no wonder everything came easy for me as a mortal, my
