Chapter 77: Ring of genesis
Whittaker was saddened as he got to let go of more than 200 battle energy core. His storage ring was full and he couldn't store it in the inventory that opens up a spatial screen before him. He had to let it go.
"Sigh!" He sighed due to sadness, almost immediately, a small metallic ring decorated with a grayish silver wing on each side dropped from the roof and hit his head.
"Ouch!" Reflexively, his hand moved towards the top of the head where something has crashed. It hurt him because the small ring was made of something heavier than metal and it was dropped from a height, hence it gained momentum. Also, Whittaker bore the frontal brunt of this momentum.
Thanks to the ring dropping on his head, Whittaker also gained deeper knowledge about his Devansha vision.
'Although by using Devansha vision, I can see everything in front of my eyes and behind my back, but I can't see what's above my head. This is a blind spot! There might be more, but only time will tell!'
While thinking that, his hand touched the thing that was so heavy that it bypassed the defense line of his mana-devouring hair and hurt him. The moment his hand touched the thing, he blurted out, "A ring?"
He picked it up by pinching it up from the top of his head by pinching it between his finger and lowered both his hands. Placing the right hand which pinched the ring between two fingers, he gazed at it, almost immediately, a notification popped up in his vision.
[Ring of genesis
Treasure Rank: Rankless
Treasure creator: The creator of this treasure is the most eccentric magical formation Grandmaster, Elder Zachary. He is also a member of the Mage Council, and the Guardian life will become easier if he gains his friendship. He is one of the five grand elders of the magic council, after all.
Treasure Description - A mystical ring created by Elder Zachary with the assistance of Headmaster Yeon. This ring outline the friendship between Headmaster Yeon and Elder Zachary. The ring has a pocket dimension inside it. With a mere thought, the Guardian can store items inside it and retrieve them at will. The ring of genesis is inscribed with the Magic of Space - Spatial Genesis, hence it has a minor world contained within a spatial ring. This type of spatial ring has the ability to contain living beings!]
'Holy shit! This ring has a characteristic that no other F-D ranked spatial ring can have.' Whittaker was shocked but his facial expression remained the same. Thanks to which, no suspicion was raised.
Whittaker knew that this ring can only belong to Elder Zachary. Moreover, in this place, there was no except Elder Zachary and the spirit of the reality-management formation.
So, he stares at the roof of the open-ground and extends the hand that held the spatial ring upwards. "This is?" He asked innocently while pointing out the spatial ring
Nina says ‹Take it. It's a gift from me. The ring in your hand is a very precious item. You can bind with it by using your breath. You will be able to store the rest of your treasures in it›
Elder Zachary had chuckled at Whittaker's situation, but Nina didn't like what she saw. No young boy should sigh in regret or any other negative emotions, hence she gifted him this thing that no one uses.
"Thank you very much, Formation Spirit!" Whittaker replied while bowing in a respectful posture to express his deep gratitude.
On the other hand, Elder Zachary was staring at the formation circle which was also located in the central command room. He was dumbfounded by her actions.
Nina felt his emotions as they were interlinked to each other by soul. She says: ‹Oh, come on. This thing has been staying in your storeroom for the past 447 years. You have abandoned it for so many years and it has been suffering loneliness for hundreds of years. Can you feel it? It's happiness in finding an owner!›
Nina was a thing that has gained sentiment, so she believed that items have emotions, but Zachary does not have the same thoughts as her. He says, "Come on, items can't have feelings or thoughts as a matter of fact. You are the only unique one as I am sharing a part of my soul with your artificial soul. But I don't mind handing over this ring to the young adventurer."
Nina was an artificial soul of the reality management formation that Elder Zachary has created. Moreover, to remain alive, Elder Zachary has fused his soul with the formation spirit. The side effect of his actions caused the formation spirit to feel his emotion. That's why Nina, who felt what humans feel, gained human emotion.

Inside the inheritance ground:
Whittaker used his breath to bind with the rankless ring of genesis, almost immediately, he felt a surreal connection with the item. It was as if the ring was alive. With one thought, Whittaker was able to haze what lay inside it. A huge rocky, somewhat grassy but mostly barren place, that's what he saw.
But the land was extremely wide
"Wow! The size of the pocket-dimension is comparable to a big and wide island." He exclaimed like a foolish boy while internally, he thought like a crafty fox, 'Moreover, this ring has characteristics that no other spatial ring has. I will be able to grow things in this place. I can also enter it, right system?'
The system replied: ‹Yes›
Whittaker says, "It's simply amazing!"
Storing the rest of the battle energy core into the pouch, he walks towards the open Gates with a beaming smile on his face. On his way, he carefully wore the ring of genesis on his index finger.
He walked to the towering gates and crossed it. Right outside, a dazzling array of multicolored light burst out and enveloped his tiny body. Soon after, he gets teleported to the next inheritance trial by the dazzling lights.
