Affinity:Chaos

On seeing Grey's joyful expression, Void curiously took the ring and checked it out. When he saw the space, he threw it back to him in disdain.

'How can you be happy over such a small space?' he asked disapprovingly.

At first, he thought the space was huge given how excited Grey was, but when he saw it, he found out its size. It wasn't even close to one-tenth of his spatial storage.

The storage ring had a space of ten square meters in total. That was like the space of a room in some places.

"What do you mean how can I be happy? Have you seen the bag I'm carrying?", asked Grey showing Void the bag.

For someone who used to carry a bag that wasn't even close to one-twentieth of the space in the storage ring, he should be happy, in fact, he should celebrate because of the upgrade he just received. It was like moving from a single tiny room apartment to a huge mansion, the difference was just too vast.

Now, all he had to do was wear a ring, and all his items would be stored there, how could he not be happy?

'You do have a point though, but compared to my storage space, it's quite small', replied Void.

"I'm happy with what I have, this thing is going to help me a lot", said Grey.

He wasn't bothered or jealous because compared to Void's space, his own was small. Only ungrateful and greedy people would feel that way, he was grateful for this one he had. After he has awakened his space element, then he would create a bigger space. But for now, this will do!

After calming down, he asked Void how to store things in the spatial storage, which Void quickly taught him. After keeping everything there, he focused his attention on the ancient path ahead of him.

He had stayed here for over five hours now, it's time to leave. And he also remembered the expert said something about a legacy, he couldn't wait to find it. But even if he didn't find it, he wasn't bothered since he already got the greatest treasure according to the expert.

Just as he was about to step into the path, he suddenly recalled something.

Flipping his palm, a blue flame lit up at the top of it.

"Haha, I got the blue flame", he laughed in exhilaration.

Having a blue flame meant his firepower is higher compared to other Fire Elementalists. But this wasn't what he was more concerned about though, he recalled when he was forming his essence beads, the fire element was the most dominant element in his essence orb, so he was curious what its grade was.

Void was surprised that Grey who was about to enter the ancient path stopped in his tracks and started playing with his fire before he sat down crossed leg all of a sudden and went into a semi-conscious state.

'What's he up to now?', he thought while looking at Grey strangely.

.....

Inside the Chaos space, Grey slowly walked towards the stone he uses to check the grade of his elements. The last time he used the stone was after he acquired his water element some days ago, now he was about to use it again.

Where the stone was located in the Chaos space was a place built like a temple on top of a mountain top. Being the owner of the Chaos space, although it was vast, he could travel it instantaneously.

Looking at it, he couldn't help but reminisce about when he first came here. At that time, he just fulfilled the requirements needed to stimulate the pearl in his body. Now within just two years, he had gone from having a single element to having five, from an ordinary person to someone who was almost at the peak of power in the Azure continent.

Thinking about all this, he suddenly recalled his mother.

'Why hasn't she contacted me yet?', he thought worriedly.

Calming his mind, he placed his hand on the stone. Just like it usually does, an unknown energy seeped out of the stone and entered his body before circling around it. After going a circle, it returned to the stone.

Five colors first lit up to represent each of his five elements, then in the center of each color, another color was visible. This was the color for the grade of each element.

He already knew the grade for his previous elements, so he didn't focus on them and just stared at the red-colored part of the stone that represented his fire element.

"Cyan", he blurted out in confusion.

At the center of the fire red part of the stone was a vibrant pale greenish-blue color.

He had read about the violet grade from books, so he knew there was a grade higher than blue, only it was hard to come by. But he had never heard or read about a cyan grade before.

Looking at it, he was certain the cyan grade was higher than the violet grade, only, he didn't know by how much. Since there were records of the violet grade but not of the cyan grade, it showed it had not appeared in the Azure continent before, or maybe it was just like the space element, unknown to them.

He left the Chaos space after checking the grade.

Since he didn't know about it, he'll inquire about these new things from his Teacher. Maybe Chris knew about them but didn't say because they were too rare.

"Let's go", Grey gestured before taking a step to enter the path.

'*Tsk* I thought you had fallen in love with this place and wanted to die here. I was already planning on how to conduct a burial ceremony for you after I've left this place', said Void.

"Fallen in love your head! Who would fall in love with this place?", Grey rolled his eyes at Void before stepping into the ancient path and disappearing.

'Hehehe, I'll finally see new things. Be prepared world, for I, master cat, is coming. Hahaha', Void thought in elation while running into the ancient path as well.

This was the only place he had seen since coming into the world, now, he would get to see new things.

.....

"Hmm, is this where the legacy is located?", a voice asked while staring at the castle ahead of him.

The owner of the voice was none other than Grey, on his shoulder, a black cat sat lazily there.

After stepping into the ancient path, he was transported to the front of a castle. Looking behind him, he realized the path also led somewhere else.

If one looks at the castle clearly, they'll realize it was the same castle Jonas entered some hours ago.

'There's only one way to find out', said Void.

"Un", Grey nodded.

He knew what Void was talking about, and that was entering into the castle. When he enters, he'll know what lies in it.

The path he was currently on led to somewhere else, so if there's nothing in the castle, he'll just head towards the other side of the path.

Taking a step forward, he slowly pushed the door and walked inside it...
