On a remote island in the middle of the ocean.
Ars got up from the ground and patted the dust on the clothes.
"I have business, see you, Prontea."
"Miss..."
Prontea wanted to open her mouth, but no sound came out and she could only lie on the ground.
It has been 50 years since he was born, he has been undergoing hell training from Rin ever since. Already several times he tried to escape because he could not stand the training he lived, but he would always be arrested Rin.
Prontea was sometimes very amazed to his seniors, who underwent all this training without complaint.
"Rin, I'm leaving."
As usual, Ars told his departure to Rin.
*Whooosh*
His figure disappeared because it moved too fast.
Ars flew across the vast ocean.
After successfully mastering the [Heavy Manipulation] ability, he made his weight to 0 kilograms, and could fly like a plane.
A few minutes later, he floated tens of kilometers above Mathias City.
"This city... No, the world has made rapid progress, now the science of progress has reached the stage of industrial revolution, and the next stage is modern civilization."
In Mathias City there are many chimneys from factories that produce various goods and food.
"I'd better change my clothes, it's fashion clothes 150 years ago."
As he was about to get off, Ars saw the clothes that people in the city were wearing, which looked more fashionable.
He was more like a beggar than a mighty and dignified immortal being.
"I chose you."
Ars sees the pedestrian and chooses a certain man.
The next moment, his shabby clothes turned into a black suit and black tie.
"It looks a lot better."
Checking the clothes on his body, he nodded in satisfaction.
"[Light of Reflection]."
Ars refracted the light and his body became invisible.
After landing in an alley, he disables the invisible mode and walks out the door of the alley, and joins the other pedestrians.
Due to his charming appearance, Ars attracts the attention of the women on the street. According to human standards, he had a handsome face. However, he is not interested in romantic relationships with humans, because he knows the end result is only suffering.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, they will become ugly when they get old. Plus, Ars had to endure the grief when his partner died, while he continued to live.
(May I find a woman who can accompany me forever.)
Ars had planned on going to another world, in addition to eliminating boredom, his other goal was to find a woman who was also immortal like himself or the Eternity Potion.
As long as he had the Eternity Potion, Ars could make the woman he loved immortal.
"Don't be too hopeful, it's going to be a difficult task... I can only depend on myself." Ars took a long breath.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment in the end. Without hope, there is no disappointment.
Thinking of the many problems, he arrived at the biggest hospital in Mathias City.
Entering the hospital, he saw many people coming and going.
(Health attendant clothes look nicer than they did a few decades before, especially nurse clothes, their skirts are very short.)
Ars praised the designer who designed the nurse's sexy lingerie design.
He finally arrived at the ward that specialized in taking care of VIP people and he stopped at the doorstep of one of the inpatient rooms.
"Sorry sir, this is a private room, you can't go in without a visit card."
In front of the door was guarded by two burly men in all-black uniforms.
"I know the guy inside, my name is Ars. Give me my name to him."
"It's..."
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them interrupted.
"I will ask, please wait here for a moment sir."
One of the bodyguards came into the room, not long after which he returned.
"The lady has given permission."
Both guards gave way to Ars.
Ars shifted the room door and walked in.
Once inside, a disinfectant scent entered his nose.
An old white haired woman was lying on the bed, her body attached some life aids.
"Uncle Ars..."
There is only one person in the world who calls Ars that way.
"Hi, little Marie, you don't look well."
"Only Uncle Ars still calls me little Marie, I've become an old woman."
Marie smiled bitterly, just to speak a few sentences, she was already out of breath.
"What old woman! In my eyes, you're always a curious little girl."
"Uncle Ars..."
Tears welled up in her eyes, Marie was moved by those words.
Ever since she was hospitalized, her family had never visited her. If they came, they just persuaded him to give his inheritance.
Marie was so disillusioned by the behavior of her descendants, she was worried that after her death, her family would be torn apart due to the struggle for inheritance.
"Don't cry, tears don't suit you."
Ars wiped Marie's tears with his hands.
"En." Marie nodded gently.
After a while, Marie calmed down and asked curiously.
"Where did the flower come from?"
"That's the little Marie I know, you want to know?"
"Yes, I want to know."
"That ability is called [Storage Magic], a pouch of space that can store various items."
Ars wouldn't mind telling Marie, anyway it's no secret.
[Storage Magic] he developed based on [Storage Ring] in xianxia novels and [Inventory] in Isekai manga or anime.
It was not difficult for him to create this ability, as he had mastered the Spatial Ability, which was [Teleportation].
"Very amazing... That ability will change the landscape of the world."
Marie's eyes sparkled brightly, as a top businessman, he knew the potential of [Storage Magic].
"Don't think too much, you should now rest to heal quickly."
"Uncle Ars does not need to comfort me, I know my body condition well. By the way, why bring chrysanthemum flowers?"
Marie changed the subject.
"According to the florist, chrysanthemum flowers symbolize a high emotion and also longevity. So giving chrysanthemum flowers to the sick is the right choice." Ars said.
"So so... Long life, huh?"
Staring out the window, Marie saw the sky that was not as beautiful as before because of factory smoke that pollutes the air.
"If you want, I can cure your disease." Ars made a suggestion.
Marie turned her gaze from the sky to Ars, and shook her head.
"No need, even if my illness is cured, I will still die a few years from old age. What Uncle Ars knows, death is sometimes another form of freedom."
'Because it's your decision, I will no longer discuss this matter."
Seeing Marie's clear eyes before death, Ars stopped persuading her.
As he said, death is sometimes freedom.
Ars has experienced seven deaths, and some of his deaths are a form of freedom from life.
For example, in the third reincarnation, when she was born as a woman. To avoid being raped by nobles, she chose suicide by jumping over a cliff.
The two of them chatted for a few hours.
"It seems like my time has come..."
Marie said in a hoarse voice, her eyelids became heavy and slowly closed, and her vitality slowly faded.
"Uncle Ars..."
He raised his weak hand.
"I'm here, little Marie."
Ars holds Marie's hand.
"Thank you for all your help... Without you, grandfather and I wouldn't have made it this far... I'm so glad to know you... And sorry, has left you sad memories..."
Marie squeezed out the rest of her vitality to say goodbye words, then she stopped breathing.
"Good sleep, little Marie, may you have a good dream."
Watching his acquaintance die before his eyes for the second time, Ars could not hold back his tears.
He did not witness Nicholas' last moment, which had left him regretful. But Marie was different, Ars had accompanied her until the end of her life.
"It turns out that Idaten can cry..."
Ars wiped the tears on his face.
Putting Marie's hand gently, she kissed her forehead and left the room.
"Little Marie is dead, call her family immediately."
Ars said to the two guards at the door.
"Eh?"
The two bodyguards were shocked to hear the news, both of them rushed into the room. After checking the news was true, they exited the room, but the figure of the previous youth was already nowhere to be seen.
