Damon looked at Sylvara for answers but the woman simply ignored him and continued to chat with the cityfolk, no doubt trying to curry favor for so quests from her side. Every player in the feast was pretty much doing the sa thing, trying to squeeze out a quest or two.
Soon, the familiar countdown began and the warning about system shut down notification arrived in front of his eyes.

Damon closed and opened his eyes. Yup, he was still standing inside the ga world, the city folk partying it up alongside him.
"What the fuck? This is actually a thing?!" Damon couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He looked around and then realized he was in for another shock.
He was still inside the ga alright and he was the only one still inside the ga!
All around him every single player had completely disappeared including Sylvara and all the others from the Frozen Throne guild. Damon was pretty sure that those guys all had their own tattoos and yet they were gone from the ga just like ordinary players.
He then rembered sothing and quickly hurried to check for Kate and Mark. Weirdly enough those two had also been chucked out. So it was just him right now in the entire ga world? No other player was there?
What if players who had received a special legacy or god’s blessings were exceptions? He quickly opened up his friend’s list and checked for Ghost. That dude has Umbra’s legacy, one of old forgotten gods. Sure enough, he was also greyed out which ant he was also out of the ga right now.
"Blood Reign, do you know what is happening?" Damon asked the weapon spirit.
"Hmmm... Maybe my Lord is able to access the ga world because you have a stronger soul than the others."
"Huh? When did this happen?" Damon was surprised to hear sothing like this.
"My Lord, you have travelled back in ti. It would be impossible to do sothing like that without a strong soul. To jumpstart our future, I had to expend quite a bit of my energy to strengthen your soul before sending us back in ti."
"One’s soul needs a bit of ti to get used to mana, my Lord. Your entire world’s population would have been exterminated on day 1 if they had received more than 12 hours of continuous mana exposure."
"The key is to condition the body, soul and mind every single day until it becos acceptable to transition to a complete world filled with mana. This is the very reason this ga exists in the first place."
Damon nodded. He did not fully understand everything but he could sowhat guess what was happening. The half day ga ti was probably just the system letting the humanbeings getting used to mana.
As for how exactly it worked and how much soul strength or body conditioning was required, he did not have all the answers. In his last life, only in the middle of third year, the ga ti was fully unlocked and the ga was accessible 24-7.
Sothing basic and fundantal like this wouldn’t probably change even in this life ti no matter how much he fucked around with the tiline or the critical events of the tiline. Or at least that’s what he could assu right now.
"Alright. No need to think too much. Right now I have the VIP pass and it is freaking aweso!" Damon grinned. Now he knew why Sylvara had looked at him like an idiot when he had asked her about this before. She never bothered with a reply. Guess she did not know the answer after all.
Damon laughed and shook his hips a little more as he danced happily in the celebrations. Why not dance like no one was watching?
He laughed once again and decided to enjoy himself for a little while. He did not even decline the two earl’s daughters who tried to attach themselves to him to win him over. He danced with the two won thoroughly enjoying the show and only after a few heavenly minutes, he finally logged out.
He wanted to doublecheck a couple of things. The last ti around he was kind of stuck inside the ga despite being log out hours because of the special body tempering ritual. Damon chalked it upto special circumstance and did not think much about it.
However, this ti it was different. If he could really walk in and out of the ga world whenever he wanted that would be ga changing
Damon closed his eyes and pressed the tattoo in his hand. The next second he found himself in a deserted long corridor of the frozen do, the base of the Frozen Throne guild.
Then he took a deep breath and again did the sa. Voila! He was back inside the ga world without missing a beat!
This really confird everything! Not only was he not forced out of the world because of the shut down but he was able to access the world whenever he wanted!
Theoretically, he never needed to get out of the ga world and could permanently stay hidden inside away from the influence of all the powerful figures outside.
In the real world there were governnts, military, nuclear missiles, things he wasn’t sure yet how he would be able to handle. But inside the ga world, here he had the confidence to survive no matter what.
Damon grinned. This was huge! This gave him an edge he had never thought was possible!
Artimius might be playing so cat and mouse ga with him but one thing was for sure. Knowingly or unknowingly that old man had helped him out quite a bit and for that, he would genuinely owe him one.
"I need to figure out how exactly this works. If I could bring my entire family inside, then I wouldn’t have to worry about many things." A plan started forming in Damon’s head.
While it was well and good that currently everyone was staying under the protection of Artimius, soone who at least seed powerful, Damon would be a fool to believe that this was the best case scenario.
At the end of the day, his family was still in danger and they could still be used as a hostage against him.
"Soul strengthening huh... I need to look into this." Damon muttered to himself. He then logged out anyways to take a short break.
He was completely spent after pushing himself every single second both with the black pool and the evolution. His ntal exhaustion had already piled up quite a bit. It was better that he rested well before starting again.
Then, with a final press of his tattoo, he logged out to rest and dream of the chaos to co.
Back in the outside world, Damon found an attendant soon enough who showed him where his living quarters were. His parents and his brother’s family were right next to him. There were also Kate and Mark in adjacent rooms.
Damon did not bother to visit anyone. He simply went inside his room and collapsed on the surprisingly comfortable bed.
