Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1368

Chapter 1368: Sure

Atticus was a bit surprised to enter the portal and appear in another alleyway.

‘We’re still in the willess world.’

He still felt the inexplicable draw the world had on his will. He was sure of it, he couldn’t use his will.

The woman turned to him, as though reading his thoughts.

“We will exit the willess world through another portal.”

She began moving out of the alleyway as soon as she spoke, accompanied by the aged humanoid man.

Atticus met eyes with the others, a series of unsaid words passing between them. They followed closely behind.

‘I hope you are not being guided by your little guy, my star actor.’

Atticus glared at Whisker. ‘We’re following her because that’s the only option. If you have a better idea, I’m all ears.’

‘Well… we could choose to break through their barricades and leave. Better than… this.’

‘I agree with the lazy man,’ Ozeroth chimed in.

‘And what are our chances of getting through? The portals would be ridden with will guards. We could get caught even before reaching there.’

‘Hmm… honestly, I’d rather die fighting than be caught in a honey trap. Where do you think she’s leading us to?’

Atticus could understand what Whisker was about. A woman with world ending beauty had emerged from nowhere, just to help them. It seemed… suspicious. Very much so.

Atticus didn’t know her, and this was the same with the rest of the group. Why would she willingly risk getting on bad terms with the will guard just to help them?

No one in the middle planes was that selfless. Except… Atticus knew why she was helping them.

‘Because of Solvath’s fragment.’ 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

During their brief clash, the woman had called him a kin of Solvath. And while Atticus already knew she was a marked, after the escapade in the alleyway, he was sure she hadn’t just awakened. Which meant she knew how to use her power.

‘It’s risky.’

Atticus still wasn’t sure what made his legs move to follow her. He was somehow drawn to her in a way he couldn’t understand. Like they were comrades in arms, like she alone could truly see him in the world.

But he still couldn’t turn off his cautious nature. This woman was a marked, and according to Solvath, they only had one sole purpose: find and gather all other fragments.

He could be walking into a trap for all he knew, but Atticus’s steps still didn’t pause.

He couldn’t explain this feeling. It was like he knew her more than he should. He had only just met her, after all.

As they left the alleyway, they entered the crowded streets. It was only then Atticus noted that they were now in the outer parts of the willess world.

Moving a few blocks, they entered an unassuming store. Compared to the others he’d been in today, the interior was just as small as the exterior let on.

The store was empty, save for the woman standing behind a counter at the other side of the room.
