Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Ibro was thrilled by this function. He could pinpoint a place and jump straight to it without losing time. 

He could pinpoint a moment and return to it from the future. Knowing what was going to happen would help him a lot. He also would have a life-saving ability.

'Is there any limit to the use of these new functions?'

'No, there is none. The only limit here is your pocket SPR stones and orbs.'

Ibro was sure of his ability to withstand multiple uses of these new functions without any burden on him. 

Even if he used all of his SPR stones and orbs, he could regenerate them easily from killing those demons. He then said:

'Open the store now.'

'The store is open. What divine ability do you want to activate?'

Ibro then looked with daze towards the store. He had previously opened the god eye divine ability and empire support divine ability. 

He had 8 divine abilities that were mediocre in his opinion, so he didn't open them. He did so as he was poor in PSR stones back then. Now, he was a rich man. 

He looked towards those 8 and then glanced over the newly added 5 divine abilities to feel great shock. These 5 divine abilities were more powerful than god eye and empire support that he activated before. 

The only problem was their expensive prices. The lowest one to open needed 10k SPR orbs. That was astronomically expensive even for him. 

He gathered his current orbs from killing hundreds of millions of demon seeds for days. He asked the system:

'How much SPR orbs do I have left?'

'You have 24650 stone orbs left.'

Ibro checked the list again. He felt poor again! He wanted to activate all the five abilities now! The first ability is called the world essence divine ability. It was the one the system recommended before. 

He had to activate it now. It required 15k SPR orbs. He lacked a couple of hundreds of orbs to activate this and another divine ability. This ability is called the death god edict. 

He felt how strong this ability was just from its name. Ibro then asked the system despite knowing the reply:

'May I activate a divine ability and pay for it later?'

'No, you need to buy what your wallet can afford only.'

'…'

Ibro was speechless from this shameful system of shamefulness. He sighed in annoyance. 

It was his luck that he still had a way to gain more SPR orbs now. Although it would take some time to gather all the required orbs, he must do it. Ibro then said:

'Activate the gold tier mission.'

'Gold tier mission selected. 150 SPR stones have been deducted from your account. Do you want to hear your mission now?'

'…'

'Gold Tier' mission is selected. The mission name is 'Destroy and Build' mission. Details of the mission: you have crossed multiple worlds, universes, and times to reach here. 

You have fought countless battles with demons and learned a lot about the hidden truth. It's time for you to learn one of the ultimate hidden truths of these universes. 

The demons had successfully invaded the core of each universe. They can manipulate it the way they like. Continuing to struggle on these already infected parts of the human body is futile. 

All the efforts are doomed with failure. Your mission is to be a skilled surgeon. You must connect yourself with the cores of two universes and eliminate all the pollution from them. 

You will have the support and the side of the system on this mission. The cured cores will belong to you. So, you can use them to establish a whole new empire. 

This empire will be the core of the future huge universe. There is no time limit to this mission.  If you managed to finish the mission in less than 1 year, then you will get an additional reward. 

Every additional universe core you manage to clean will get you an additional reward. 

The main reward for this mission is the Ro grade universe sovereign profession. The additional reward will be determined according to your performance.'

Ibro's mind took some time to process the information in this mission. He had known a new huge secret that made him feel numb. Were all the universes he visited infected? Even back at Rioneed?

'Didn't you tell me that the gold mission is just a simple cross-universe mission?'

'This is considered a simple cross-universe mission. What is the problem exactly?'

Ibro gritted his teeth while arguing with a block head system:

'This isn't a simple mission at all!'

'Yet, it's a cross-universe mission. I can't see the problem here, though.'

'…'

Ibro didn't continue to argue with this shameless system. Every time he tried to reason with it, he ended up losing his temper. 

He calmed himself and revised the info again. He found some missing info in this data, so he asked:

'What I understood from the mission info is that each universe had a core, right?'

'…'

Ibro gritted his teeth and tried to be patient as he asked his question again. This time the system didn't ignore him as it replied:

'Yes.'

'Then what is this core exactly?'

'You can seek this info yourself.'

Ibro calmed down his frustration from this metal cold system. A thought flashed in his mind to smile helplessly while suggesting:

'Why don't we make a trade here? You tell me the info I need and you take SPR stones in exchange for your answers.'

'Orbs.'

'Excuse me?'

'I want SPR orbs, not stones.'

Ibro was about to deny when the system said:

'I can answer any question with only one SPR orb each time. It's a fair deal in my opinion.'

'You know you are the first system I see trying to steal from his holder like this?'

'First of all, you didn't meet a true system before me neither you heard of one. Second of all, I'm not stealing you, every SPR stone I took was for a service I gave. 

It's all about fair trade here system holders. One SPR orb had been deducted from your account. Thanks for your support.'

'…'
