Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 157: Nymeris?!
Noan frowned when he saw the notification and pondered. Finally, what exactly determines when you get an extra listening session?
If he used this listening ability, what benefits would he gain from it?
Noan thought for a long while and then decided to accept the listening session.
"Accept!"
As soon as he spoke, Noan was pulled into a strange space.
This was not the place with the glass orbs and chains, but more like a water pool.
Noan looked around, unsure where to go since the space was so dark, so dark that he couldn't see anything except the water below his feet.
And the most remarkable thing was… he was standing on the water's surface.
Noan lifted his foot and took a few steps. Although he felt a bit disoriented, he was indeed able to walk on the surface of the water.
He bent down, reaching his hand into the water below, but as soon as his hand entered the water, it was grabbed by another strange hand.
Noan was startled and instinctively tried to pull his hand back, but it was too late.
The other hand gripped his tightly and pulled him down.
Noan opened his eyes again and realized he seemed to be inside a vast ocean.
Even though he was underwater, he didn't feel like he was suffocating. Instead, he felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness and coldness.
The surface of the water was over ten meters above him, and below, it was so deep that he could only see blackness, as if the bottom extended endlessly.
Noan had the feeling that something terrifying was lurking in the darkness at the bottom of the ocean.
"This place is…" Noan wondered to himself.
He looked around, trying to find the one who had pulled him down into this place, but no matter how hard he searched, he was all alone in this space.
Noan furrowed his brows, feeling perplexed. Who exactly was he facing?
Krit!!!
Suddenly, a strange sound echoed, resembling the call of a dolphin but also like the cry of a whale.
Noan shuddered, desperately trying to swim towards the surface because he could sense that something terrifying was approaching.
But the more he swam, the farther away the water's surface seemed, as if he were swimming backwards.
The space around him also began to grow darker, until it was nothing but pure blackness.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Noan's heart pounded violently, as if it were about to burst from his chest.
He tried to calm himself, but every effort was futile.
When the entire space had become nothing but darkness and the water's surface had vanished, a red dot appeared.
Noan looked toward the red light, which grew larger and larger. Soon, he realized what the red light was.
It was an eye.
Yes, it was a giant eye, more than ten meters in diameter, right in front of him.
What was even more terrifying was that the eye was staring directly at him.
KRIT!!!
The strange sound echoed again, this time loud enough to produce sound waves beneath him, spreading outward.
As the sound waves swept over Noan, he felt his ears ache as if his eardrums had been pierced, and his heart was under immense pressure, making it hard for him to breathe.
In the moment when he felt the most desperate, as if he were surely going to be smothered in the dark abyss, a hand appeared.
The hand gripped his firmly, then pulled him upward.
The red eye followed his movements, but it seemed that the mysterious creature didn't want to chase him, only staring intently at him.
Noan didn't know how long this lasted, but just when his consciousness was about to fade, he was pulled out of the water's surface.
"Ha… ha… ha…" Noan gasped, struggling to breathe as his body hung suspended in mid-air.
"Did you see it?" A voice, sweet yet lazy, rang out.
Noan turned his head, looking around, but he couldn't find anyone speaking.
He tried to stabilize his body in mid-air and then asked, "Who are you?"
*Yawp*
A yawn sounded, and the mysterious voice spoke again, "You'll know soon enough."
"Are you…" Noan thought of a guess. "Are you the Goddess of the Night?"
"Ah! You know already? Then you can call me Nymeris."
"Nymeris? Why did you call me here?" Noan furrowed his brows, feeling confused, and asked.
"Noan, you need to find the Goddess of the White Silence, and then you'll know everything."
"Why didn't you tell me everything right now?" Noan asked again.
"I'm lazy!"
Noan: "..."
"Fine, go back now, and treat Vylyss well from now on, understood?" Nymeris said.
"Even if you didn't tell me, I'd still treat her well."
"Ah! If that's the case, I feel relieved."
"Wait! What was that creature earlier? Why did you show me that scene?"
It seemed Nymeris didn't care about Noan's question. Immediately, she pulled him back to reality.
Noan startled, his eyes wide open, realizing he was lying on the bed. Next to him, Vylyss was still deep in sleep, her face full of satisfaction and happiness.
However, he knew this wasn't a dream because... his body was wet.
Indeed, it felt as if he had just submerged underwater.
[Ding! You have received a new ability for your class, please check it in your class information.]
A notification suddenly appeared before him, but he didn't rush to check it. Instead, he tried to calm himself by taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.
Noan glanced at Vylyss, then stood up and quietly walked outside.
The sky had already darkened when Noan walked over to the chair by the lake and sat down.
Staring at the gloomy sky, Noan felt a bit more at peace in his heart.
He opened his personal information panel and noticed a new ability had been added under the Class section.
...
**Name**: Whisper of the Forgotten
**Rank**: SS+
**Description**: You can hear the voices of those who have been forgotten, whether they are gods or demons.
Are they calling for help? No! They need someone who can listen to their words.
**Innate Ability**: Spatial Summon.
You can store a hero in this space and summon them whenever you wish.
**Number of Listenings**: 0
...
"Spatial Summon?" Noan frowned, feeling that this class ability was somewhat meaningless.
However, at least it was better than nothing.
"Master…" Suddenly, Malrik appeared, bowing his head and saying, "I have some information about Alex."
"Hm?!" Noan furrowed his brow, then listened as Malrik explained that Alex had found another tomb, though Noan wasn't too surprised.
After all, Alex was a Fate Holder. Noan had taken his fate, so perhaps destiny would compensate him with another opportunity.
"Master, you don't need to worry," Malrik smiled and said. "Though the tomb is quite special, Alex certainly won't harm you."
Noan glanced at Malrik, frowning as he said, "Malrik, you shouldn't be so complacent. If not, one day you might find yourself in a situation where you're caught off guard. Do you understand?"
Malrik hurriedly knelt down, worried, and said, "Master, please rest assured. I've planted a magic spell within Alex's body."
"As soon as he encounters any opportunities, I will be able to sense it. As you said, we feast on the meat; we can let him have the bones."
"That's why I will let him have small opportunities, and if he encounters a great one, I will inform you immediately."
Noan nodded lightly, his eyes gradually becoming more relaxed. "You're right, at least we must give him a bit of hope. Otherwise, he might stop looking for opportunities, and we would lose a radar for treasure hunting."
"But why did that tomb appear near the area sealed by the Goddess of the Night?"
Malrik hastily explained, "Master, in reality, that is the tomb of the four Dragon Kings."

"What?!" Noan felt as if he had misheard and asked again, "You said... that is the tomb of the four Dragon Kings?"
"Yes, Master." Malrik calmly answered, "Is there something wrong?"
"Damn it!" Noan genuinely wanted to curse, he yelled, "You're telling me that opportunity is small? Four Dragon Kings, do you even know what Dragon Kings mean?"
"Kekeke... Master, of course, I know that, it's just... Alex surely cannot absorb the entire energy of all four Dragon Kings."
"Hm?! What do you mean..." Noan furrowed his brow.
"Kekeke... kekeke..." Malrik broke into a sinister and dark laugh. "Master, Alex can only absorb a little of the external energy."
"This energy is the one that maintains the magical protection for the tomb and the bodies of the four Dragon Kings."
"Once he has fully absorbed that energy, the four Dragon Kings in the tomb, along with the opportunities inside, will all belong to us."
"Ah!" Noan nodded lightly, a wicked smile appearing on his face. "Well done."
"Kekeke... Kekeke..."
Inside the tomb, Alex, who had been unconscious, suddenly shuddered in fear and immediately woke up. "What the hell is that?!"
