He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact Chapter 39. A diary

Kailen stood a few walks away from the main road, right at the edge of the pavent that led to the familiar house, ignoring the couple that walked into the house with their young girl.

His gaze peered through the veil of mories, triggering mories of his ti with his parents in this house.

This was the house Kailen had sold in so ti past after the death of his parents to the real estate agent who had ripped him off. This was the house he grew up in with his parents.

Kailen sighed; his hoodie draped on his figure.

’’I decided not to visit your grave till I’ve terrorized those diabolic beasts mum and dad. However we share a connection to this house, so I ca to say my goodbye for now here. I know this may sound silly and unreasonable. I could have just decided to visit your grave one last ti till the next ti we et again but, I swore, although not literally, before your grave that the next ti I visit your grave again, those diabolic beasts would have paid for your deaths, and the pain they’ve caused .’’

He sighs ’’Therefore I intend to honor that promise. Your little boy has beco a bit strong, and has to go to university. University huh. To be honest I didn’t even see the need to attend. But due to so interferences, I have to attend. Till next ti, mum and dad’’

Just when Kailen turned and was about to leave, his superhuman senses as an awakener picked up on a conversation happening inside his previous family house.

’’Sweetheart, how long are we going to keep these two things here. The previous owners of the house are not around anymore. Can’t we just throw them away?’’ A female voice rung in Kailen’s ears, causing his eyes to narrow in shock.

’’Apart from the clothes and other gadgets I had sold for money, was there any other thing left in the house?’’ Kailen mused, deciding to listen in on the conversation further.

A male’s voice, probably that of the husband resounded in his ears ’’Alright, it’s been a month, and the previous owners have not co to retrieve this diary and this pen, perhaps we can just throw them away. Initially I assud they had forgotten to take it along with them since it was the only item here that was in the house when we moved in. I assud they’d co to retrieve it but let’s just throw them away. These items have been here for a while after all’’

’’A diary and a pen? Could it belong to mum and dad? I have to get it’’ Quickly, Kailen’s figure flickered, appearing in front of the front door of the house.

He restrained his awakened aura completely, then rang the doorbell, awaiting a response.

A few monts later, the door made a clicking sound, then opened, revealing a short man with a long beard and brown eyes in a ho wear, presumably a T shirt and so jeans.

The man glanced at Kailen draped in the black hoodie for a few seconds ’’Isn’t he the weird looking guy we saw standing near the house while we were on our way ho?’’ He mused inwardly, then decided to be polite.

’’Hello, what can I do for you?’’ His deep voice reached Kailen’s ear.

’’Hi, please do you happen to recollect coming across a diary and a pen in this house?’’

The man’s eyes widened in shock at Kailen’s words ’’Oh, you must be the previous owner of the house, you ca just in ti. We were just about to get rid of the items since we’ve been keeping them for a while now and no one has co looking for them. Would you like to co inside for a cup of coffee?’’

’’Would have loved to, however I’m in a hurry, thank you for the hospitality’’

’’Oh, in that case, then let not waste your ti. Just a second’’ The man closed the door, the sound of his footsteps tracing further away for a few seconds before the door opened again, revealing a small wooden rectangular box with a diary and a pen in it.

Kailen stared at the wooden fra, his heart beating wildly. He did not know how to describe how he felt. To be honest, he knew so little about his parents in the aspect of who his parents’ family were and where they ca from. Perhaps, their diary could tell him sothing about them?

Managing to reign in his emotions, he politely received the rectangular wooden fra. ’’Thank you’’

He scanned the wooden fra, realizing that only the diary and the pen were in it.

’’We found it at a corner in the basent. When we moved in, the house was completely empty. This wooden fra containing these two items were the only things we found’’

Kailen nodded, took the diary and the pen from the wooden rectangular box, handed over the wooden fra back to the man, then left.

The man stared at Kailen’s retreating back, then sighed ’’What a strange guy. Who wears a hoodie when sumr has begun’’

He closed the door and took the wooden rectangular box returning to his wife and daughter.

Kailen stood at the edge of the house, took a last glance, sighed deeply and left for the train station. He could have made use of flight with Vengeful to travel to the capital, however he was honestly directionless as to how to get there. Also, even if he decided to make use of flight with the aid of a map or the help of the Ti Dilation Artifact, it was possible he would have to deal with annoying aerial monsters along the way. Kailen was in no mood for that . At this point ,all he was thinking about was the diary. He wanted to peacefully navigate through its contents as soon as possible.

He could have also opted to travel by airplane but the train station was nearer.

He therefore opted to travel by a bullet train.

’’Train 233346 is leaving New Alexandria city for Achilles city. Expected ti of arrival, 3 hours,22 minutes’’ A loud robotic voice rung out throughout the train.

As he sat at the VIP lounge in the train, the diary appeared from the space ring into his hands.

The diary was red in color ’’Mum probably opted for this color. She was obsessed with color red after all’’ He chuckled, then observed the diary further.

’’How can a diary have a keyhole?’’ Kailen was honestly surprised.

The diary had so sort of keyhole

Unlike a normal book, the diary was strapped from end to end, with no way to open it, no matter how hard he had tried. However, a lock was at the front cover, which Kailen deduced was the only way to open the diary.

Kailen cald himself down, thinking of a solution to open the diary.

He studied the layout of the keyhole, then used shadow manipulation to conjure a key that he deed could mimic the keyhole.

Kailen tried to use the key he had conjured to open the diary, however he still failed.

’’Just what at all, could be in this diary that they had to take such precautions?’’

Kailen sighed, wondering why his parents would take such precautions for a diary?

However, his thoughts lingered back to the man who had given him the diary.

’’Could the key to open the diary be missing sowhere in the house. Should I go back in search for it?’’

He however decided it was not worth it. The train had already left the city, plus, he didn’t think there was any way to find the key even in the house.

According to the man and the conversation he had overhead from the man and his wife, the diary and the pen were the only two items in the house when they moved in. The key to open the diary was therefore not in the house. The only plausible whereabouts of the key was that his parents kept it on themselves wherever they went.

In that case, that ant that they had died with it. At this point, the diary would never be opened.

He was confused concerning how to open the diary.

’’Think Kailen, think.’’

[No matter how much you try, you cannot open this diary as you are now. The material for this diary is a rank 1 beginner stage ascendant level material, which ans the key is also a rank 1 beginner stage ascendant level material. If you want to open this diary by creating a key with shadow manipulation, you should be at rank 1 beginner stage ascendent level, so that the key you create with shadow manipulation can open it. To be honest, I could create a key for you to open it right now, however, this is a good thing. Use the desire to open the diary your parents left behind to not slack off and get to the ascendant level, so that you can open the diary yourself]

’’Ascendant level? How did my parents get their hands on an ascendant level material kind of diary?. From the power systems of the universe the ti dilation artifact has led to understand, Earth is only an S ranked planet, with no way to groom an ascendant level awakener, or even ascendant level diabolic beasts. How is this possible? Could it be that sohow...’’

Kailen’s breathing grew ragged.

His thoughts churned.

What he was thinking of was genuinely absurd and ridiculous. His parents were normal people, there was no way that was possible, and yet, how else will they get their hands on an ascendant level material diary?

Finally, he managed to gain the courage to muse ’’Could it be that my parents are not from earth?’’

The ti dilation artifact was silent, leaving him to his thoughts in the fast-moving bullet train.
