Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

In the middle of the central region, the crowd could be seen gathered in a place, everyone looking at a certain object with solemn faces.

'This strange feeling....' The presence brushing past Zick's skin made him curious.

It was not a familiar feeling, it was the first time Zick ever sensed such presence.

Walking towards the crowd, what entered Zick's sight was three golden flares, floating in the air with strong pressure released by them.

'That is...' Zick squinted his eyes, finding the identity of the source.

Spirit dominant, an being so famous that it had once spread its atrocious name throughout the universe.

From the rumors and story, the spirit dominant was the natural enemy of the spirit, at least to the spirit itself.

The spirit dominant can absorb the spirit of any being, it grew to the level of being invincible in the great god community, after absorbing the spirits of three worlds. The grades of the worlds were unknown though.

'.....Selling such things openly, just what is this person thinking?' Zick concentrated on hearing the gods near him.

"That spirit dominant...It would be showcased in the auction, right?"

"For such species to still exist, that is surprising. If I am not wrong, some elf god was taking care of them, right?"

"Yes, I have heard the rumor, that elf must have been plotting some evil scheme for sure!"

"I heard she resisted crazily while the spirit dominant was being taken away, so I am not sure..."

Hearing the gods' voice, not hiding their schadenfreude at all, Zick's brow rose in amusement.

'Was the elf's relation close to this spirit dominant? That's the only possible conclusion if what they said was true, that's rather interesting.' Zick was curious regarding this matter, but he did not stick his nose into things not connected to him.

More than anything, he could not afford to buy this spirit dominant.

Zick made his way to the counter, inquiring about the list of the recording of all the items here.

"Here, sir."

Getting the list, he began going through it swiftly.

'As expected of the dragon clan trade center, the things available here are on another level compared to others. For there to even be slaves of god rank.' Zick's eyes sparkled as he saw the products available here.

Finding many things that would be useful to him, Zick was troubled. He could buy only two or three items after all, which made him feel his high merit felt low in comparison.

'Well, My future business will flourish soon, so I will not have to worry about resources in the future.' Zick smiled internally.

The future business he was talking about, was of course the world formation project. Using Aurel's power, he could begin mass-producing dozens of low-grade worlds quickly. Zick only had to collect a semi-grade world, where the world core was still in the process of being born.

Before Zick was unwilling to do this business, the reason was very simple. The benefits that he would make even attract some great gods, who know he might just get assassinated overnight.

'It is unlikely for me to get assassinated, but still, I won't take risks.' Zick never took risks until necessary and took them when the reward was worth it.

Finding Arianell and Aurel moving towards him, Zick leaned on the pillar, waiting for them patiently. His expression grew sharper as he looked forwards.

It was because he just received a message from Arianell, someone requests to meet Zick. And it was a being of a high standard according to the reaction of the dragon gods around the place.

'They have grown up better than I thought. Arianell can deduce people a lot better now, I guess.' Zick felt the time he spent teaching Arianell and Aurel to be worth it.

After analyzing both of their growth, Zick concentrated on the god heading to meet him.

The thousand astronomal god, Krelein.

It was a name that Zick knew from the information he gathered.

Krelein was the disciple of the fifth supreme elder, a supreme being. The name of this supreme being was unknown, not only these elders, but every being in supreme being have their name hidden.

Krelein was in the great god rank and was rumored to enter the supreme being rank soon, becoming a supreme elder of the dragon clan. Of course, this 'soon' meant — a century or two.

He was a well-known god around the dark faction, having a good track record of defeating many gods from the light faction too.

'There can only be one reason such a person is looking for me, to recruit me.' Zick closed his eyes, entering deep into his thoughts.

Zick was aware of his own value better than anyone. He was regarded as a genius that appeared for the first time in history. It was a fact that everyone acknowledged, even if he was not, his growth speed went past the common sense of every god.

The recent battle had fuelled his fame to rise through the ceiling. Zick had defeated...no, killed hundreds of gods, who were in the same rank as him all alone. This battle result once again broke the imagination of many normal gods. That was Zick's aim from the beginning too.

'I will have to reject him, I guess.' Zick still wanted to stick to his original plan.

Zick was the type of person who always explored to find the best course of action, especially when nothing was forcing his hand right at the moment.

Zick did not have to wait for long, Krelein along with the other two arrived.

Krelein appeared to be in his mid-twenties, dazzling with his long silver hair. The atmosphere around this person was different from the other great god, but Zick could not quite put his finger on what was different.

"This is our first time meeting, Mister Zick." Krelein executed a normal greeting while extending his hand.

"Yes, but it appears that we will be meeting each other a lot from now!" Zick held Krelein's hand with no hesitation, sporting a smile.
