Leonel snapped himself back to reality, a cold chill seeping into his heart.

Of these spirits, the majority were 'greyed' out. As though a locked character on a gaming screen, Leonel knew that he didn't have anywhere near the power or strength that would be needed to awaken them. In fact, from the information he received, he might never have this strength.

However, among these 'greyed out' spirits there were several that had color to them. Among them was a face Leonel thought he would never see again... Alexandre.

That 'king' with so much ambition, waiting to conquer the world with this very same tablet in his hand, ended up becoming just one of the many spirits within.

It was then Leonel fully understood.

This tablet, in exchange for a price, was capable of resurrecting those from the Zone Leonel just exited.

Rather than being excited at such a prospect, Leonel suddenly felt the need to vomit.

Just what was this tablet? How could it gamify the lives and deaths of living, breathing people? How could it set a price on them and a cost for them to see the light of day again?

Leonel felt a gut wrenching urge to throw this tablet away. No, he wanted to destroy it with every fiber of his being, shatter it into a million little pieces and incinerate it with the hottest star in the universe.

Seeing the sacrifice of his men being twisted in such a perverse and sickening way made his pale purple eyes redden with unshed tears.

Was this all a joke?

Had this tablet fabricated such a world for the sake of finding Leonel? Or had it cursed an already existing world for the same purpose?

That said, considering Leonel's personality, he had no intention of using her even if he could resurrect her now.

'I can only resurrect one person for now and there's no telling when I'll be able to accumulate enough energy to resurrect another. So, I need to choose a person who puts me in the best position to lay out the next portion of my plans...'

Leonel had already decided.

In the past, he had no intention of joining the Morales family's Heir Games. But, now, things were different.

Leonel had no intention of not taking advantage of the luck he had been given in this life. If he wanted to reach his ultimate goal, even given how impossible it was, he would have to take hold of whatever leg up he had.

In that case, not only would he become the Successor of the Morales family, he would become the Successor of his grandmother's Luxnix family and he would most definitely snatch Earth away from his grandfather.

This Dimensional Verse... He would change it.

In that case, there was one person here who would facilitate that better than everyone else, one person that would make Leonel's next steps far simpler... And this one person also happened to cost just as much as the remaining energy the tablet had.

Choosing this person would most definitely piss the people of Valiant Heart off. However, when it came to the future he envisioned, Leonel wouldn't allow anyone to stand in his way.

Leonel's eyes snapped open, their pale violet hue shimmering through the darkness.

With a thought, the young man he was looking for appeared before him, carrying with him a handsome face that most definitely rivaled Leonel's own.

"Elthor Umewraek, Third Prince of the Oryx Kingdom. You will be the first."

[End of Volume. I've chosen to change Volume 4's title from Milky Way to Valiant Heart. Many more adventures to come! This is where Leonel's journey truly begins... His journey to stand atop the Dimensional Verse!]
