The Idle System (A LitRPG series Book 7): Family by Pegaz (world best books to read TXT) 📕

he returned to the point a few days before Elder Kian’s and Lexis’ deaths. He turned himself visible and met them both.

After he explained that they were in danger, he told them to hide on a random planet and not to contact anyone until he said it was okay. He gave them a communication device and sent them on their way, but not before taking a hair from them both.

Using the cloning technique, he created copies of them, turned invisible again, then watched as Scott killed the clones as he controlled them with his threads. Scott killed Elder Kian from behind before decapitating Lexis not long after.

Since they were clones, the medical examination that Sarah said would happen to determine their identity would be a perfect match, too. No worries there, then.

He watched as Scott buried Lexis and Elder Kian at the same location while taking Lexis’ head.

John knew what actually happened, so when Scott left the area, he used the earth element to dig up Elder Kian’s body and carried it into the forest not far from town.

Grabbing a cloth with the Fire Cross Mercenaries symbol on it from town, John flew back to the body and placed it underneath. He used the metal element to create a basic sword and swung it from left to right at the closest tree to form marks.

Using the earth element, he created a pair of shoes and used them to create shoe prints all around the body. He took a few more minutes to stage the area like how Sarah had described it to him.

Sarah thought it was Scott who staged this area to throw off the investigation. Now I know it was me who created it to get the investigation started.

When I’ve finished helping the past and return to the present, Sarah will be over the moon when she finds out that Lexis and all the villagers are actually alive. Hopefully, that will end all her thoughts about her being cursed and being unable to have any friends.

John then visited the general of the Fire Cross Mercenaries and found his body.

This man helped Scott locate Lexis and Elder Kian for money. They would have died if not for me, so I see no reason to make Scott kill a clone of the general instead.

John then watched Sarah return to the sect, investigate all the families, and then go hunt Rot Elements. When Scott tried his soul manipulation technique again, John destroyed it like he did the first time.

He saw how Sarah almost broke down in front of Lexis’ grave but also gathered enough resolve to carry on.

When he heard Frank and Rebecca’s conversation, he felt even more let down about Frank’s behaviour.

Sarah killing Scott by slitting his throat caused John to smile once again.

His past self came back and then got threatened by O’Malley. Before his past self left for the battlefield, John placed Kelly’s soul inside Sarah’s womb after she said she was pregnant.

I’m not sure how this works, but I know it does since Kelly was born safely.

John knew there was nothing he could do to help his past self on the battlefield, so he teleported to the planet Sarah would go to and used the time element until he saw her.

Inside the cabin, he kept fast forwarding time until Sarah was in labour. Standing at one side of the cabin, John watched his daughter Kelly be born.

When Sarah and Kelly were asleep, John walked over to Kelly, leaned down, and gently kissed her head.

I was here during her birth, just not in the traditional way.

Fast forwarding time again, John turned visible, placed his mask over his head, and stood in front of the king of the Bahan Kingdom after his past self had received the golden eagle badge and left.

“I changed my mind about the condition,” John announced. “Don’t tell the world about the badge, only tell your knights, ministers, and anyone else important in this kingdom. Don’t let Gralux Kingdom catch wind of our little deal, otherwise you know what will happen!”

After leaving the castle, John turned invisible again and followed his past self.

I wondered why Carola, the princess of Bahan Kingdom, and all her knights knew about the golden eagle badge but the prince of Gralux Kingdom and all his knights didn’t.

My future self set it up. Is that to give Kelly a lesson about human nature? Or is it just me not wanting her to marry a prince that’s not worthy of her?

John then watched Kelly grow up once more. Even knowing about her system and how it worked, he still couldn’t find anything that would’ve given it away.

It was time to jump back into the present, but John remembered the rule about time that O’Malley left out the first time and only found it inside the Information Spheres later.

When in the past, it’s fine jumping through time while on the spot. However, when returning to the present, I must be in the same location I was before I went back in time.

This is to stop the space from the location I disappeared to the location I reappeared at from being torn apart.

John opened his universal map and teleported to the Transcendent’s castle. He used the time element in his eye to make sure he followed his past self to the location where he disappeared from and then returned to the present.

Looking around, John made sure no space was torn apart. When he found nothing wrong, he smiled while opening the universal map and teleported back to where Sarah and Kelly were.

He managed to get teleported directly above the nameless town, but while he was hovering in the air, he noticed something was very wrong.

Chapter 49: Gone

The town was much smaller than he remembered. In fact, it looked like it was the same size it was before him, Sarah, and Kelly moved out of the jungle.

Looking at where his house was, he noticed that his house was run down,
