Chapter 136 [Heaven's Grade-4!]
[Adrian's POV!]
"Well. It's proceeding smoothly, I see."
I walked through the settlement, hiding my presence as I looked at everything around me. The players have begun to influx through, and even though there are minor problems concerning the entry of people from the safe zone, it should be solved by itself slowly.
"Clair sure would be skeptical about this," Nora added as she ate the strawberry pie. I looked at her for a few seconds before asking,
"Do you have anything else that you like?"
"Sorry. I have a husband."
"…"
I then looked around at the players and city, before moving to look at the players from the other servers. And then pondering a bit as I looked at them, I then observed my gift.

It was a surprising yet welcomed change that I received. I didn't know I could upgrade the grade of my gift without following the original criteria to upgrade it. Above all, the skills that I got with it were rather convenient. They allowed me to save even more GM Points for later on.
And as long as I simply wait, I might not even need to spend a single GM Point and evolve the Gift to its peak. To call it convenient would be an understatement.
'I think. It would be easier to get to Immortal Grade than it was to reach Upper Mortal grade,' I smiled as I looked at those skills one more time before closing them down. I had already used [Evolution] on the [Gift: Cartography] to increase it by another grade, and I might need to wait for another month before I could use that skill again.
"Well. With most of the things done here, I think I can check out the servers for a few days before returning here," I smiled as I felt like it was a chance to explore more of what the Tower had to offer.
The settlement should at least get an influx of players and other NPCs, and that's going to take days if not weeks. But as time will pass, surely the influx will only increase.
As for my Gifts, I was going to leave [Creation Index] with the skills that I had. And as for [Harbinger of Death!], it can be upgraded as long as I defeat anyone on the other server. I had a certain server in mind for that. In fact, I was thinking of destroying that certain world given the nature of things that were occurring there.
It would be a good deed to the citizens there while also increasing the grade of my gift. I can also guide that 'girl' there as well whom I took under my contract before.
"I could still spend some time with my friends here but, it would be better for them to grow on their own for the time being. Maybe I will spare most of my end waiting time to look out for each of them. Hmmm… yup, that would be a good time to catch up with everything," I mumbled as I looked at what they were doing right now.
'Well. They seem to be doing well,' I thought before sending a message to them telling them that I am busy with a certain quest and will catch up later with them.
Once done with that, I once again checked with everything that I needed to do right now. While there were smaller things like upgrading my equipment, I decided to do them later on in my journey on the other server.
"I will be leaving for a journey. Might take a few weeks to return. What are you going to do till then?" I turned to Nora who had stuck with me through the past few weeks now.
Her munching stopped as she looked at me with a surprised expression. Then slowly gulping the pie down, she asked me,
"Where are you going? Can I come with you?"
"I don't think so. It's the [???] quest. He is taking me somewhere different from here so I don't think I can take anyone else with me right now. And given how the quest involves another world that I need to protect or destroy, I think it is going to take a few weeks to say the least," I lied most of it while keeping a few truths mixed in it.
Nora pondered for a few seconds before asking,"can you at least give me a reminder like before, every once in a while? I just… I don't want to feel alone anymore."
I nodded at her. It wasn't a difficult task so I didn't have any problems with it.
"All right then. See you later, Crowley," she smiled brightly before vanishing from there. On the [Map], I saw her reappearing on the central tower in the safe zone, where her expression turned rather sad. I saw a few tears dropping off her eyes, before I closed the map.
Well, there was little I could have done here.
"Let's go, I guess," I then looked at that certain server where the tutorial 5 was currently going on. It was on a planet named Freawa, and for some reason or another, it was a planet filled with Angels and Demons.
Opening the server from the game master system, I smiled as I decided to move into that server. The warning came again but I had already confirmed that I can easily return here if I wanted to.
So with that in mind, I clicked [Yes!] on the server change before everything darkened around me.
