Chapter 125: 125. Edge of the World

"I need some Snow Crystal Grass," Elowen said, her voice calm but insistent.

"You can have a full crate of it," Tyler replied without hesitation.

Elowen nodded, adjusting her glasses as Tyler’s servants moved the crates of Snow Crystal Grass. These were the fees Tyler had promised in exchange for the contract.

"So... Are you sure you don’t want to join us? We’re heading north, and having a mage in our crew would be a great help," Tyler offered, hoping to sway her.

Elowen chuckled, a sound that was both melodic and slightly mocking. "Just because I slept with you once doesn’t mean I would follow you like a loyal pet. I’ve slept with all of my previous boyfriends too. Nobody stayed. If you’ve truly fallen for me, how about you stay here with me?" She raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

Tyler shook his head, a small smile of his own appearing. "As expected."

Elowen sighed, her playful demeanour fading slightly. She flipped her hand, and a small star-shaped medal appeared in her palm. "You told me you wanted to learn technology, right? Use this and join Starfire Academy." She handed him the medal, the engraved magic circles on its surface glowing faintly.

Tyler took it, a sense of gratitude and determination filling him. "Thank you, Elowen. I won’t forget this."

Meanwhile, Lily Gomes was sharing a joke with Mathilda, who was visibly struggling to keep up. "Guess how to find a blind man on a nude beach?" Lily asked with a mischievous grin.

"Hmmm... Probably by the way he walks?" Mathilda guessed, her brow furrowed in concentration.

"Nope." Lily shook her head.

Mathilda used every bit of her brain cells but couldn’t come up with an answer. "It’s not that hard," Lily said, trying to give her a hint.

"An easy answer? Wait... Let me think." Mathilda was deep in thought.

"I already told the answer. It’s not that hard," Lily said, sighing and getting up.

"Ah...!" It took a few minutes for Mathilda to understand. "Lily onee-sama!" Mathilda’s eyes shone with admiration.

Tyler, who had just walked in, tilted his head in confusion. Mathilda flew towards Lily Gomes, and Lily used her foot to block Mathilda’s face, which was about to kiss her.

"Aww... Step on me more, onee-sama," Mathilda said cutely.

"Okay, what is happening?" Tyler asked, clearly puzzled.

"Hmph... Don’t disturb us," Mathilda snorted at Tyler.

"Alright, enough playing. We are going to the edge," Tyler said, shaking his head.

The night sky in the Southern Hemisphere was the most beautiful Tyler had ever seen. Here, the stars and planets shone with an otherworldly brilliance, creating a mesmerizing panorama that captivated all who beheld it. Planets with vibrant hues were visible to the naked eye. These planets, named by the Boundless World denizens as Yana, Orin, Lyris, and Selora, cast their radiant glow across the night, each contributing to the ethereal tapestry above.

Tyler and his companions stood on the ship, gazing at the beautiful sky and the sea. Schools of glowing fish, with their bodies emitting soft, pulsating lights in shades of azure, emerald, and crimson, swam gracefully beneath the waves. These luminescent fish created a living constellation in the ocean, mirroring the brilliance of the sky above. The water itself seemed to come alive with light, as if the stars had descended to play among the waves.

Such perfect nights were a rare and treasured gift. The weather in this region was notoriously unpredictable, with thick, rolling clouds often obscuring the celestial display. On these cloudy nights, the bioluminescent fish became the stars of the show, their glowing bodies creating a different kind of nocturnal magic. The ocean became a canvas of living light, offering an enchanting spectacle that rivalled the starlit sky.

"Look at those," Lily Gomes pointed at a flying huge platform.

"Ah... These are Summoning Platforms. According to myth, these platforms were used by Ancient Gods to summon creatures from another world to fill this one," Mana said.

Tyler looked at the summoning platform, curiosity piqued. "Are we allowed to go up there?"

A few minutes later, Tyler, Mana, Lily, Silvia, and Mathilda walked on the platform. Silvia had gotten better with Mathilda’s help; her pills were truly top-notch.

"Is it gold plated?" Tyler asked, looking at the ground.

"Nah... It’s pure gold," Lily replied.

Tyler’s eyes widened as he looked at the platform. "If you’re thinking about taking some gold, drop the idea. These platforms are blessed by the Ancient Gods. Those who tried to steal from here died instantly," Lily warned.

Tyler quietly put his pickaxe back.

Just like that, they stopped at small, interesting islands and traveled far south. Three days passed, and they reached Arambam Island. Many ships were docked in the huge port. Arambam Island was filled with lots of people. Most of them are here to visit the Edge or the beginning.

Arambam Island was the first island in the world, literally the first island to exist in the Boundless World.

Tyler docked the ship, paid the people in the port to look after it, and told the whole crew, including the servants, to go sightseeing. This was an opportunity they might not get again.

"Why do I feel a little wobbly?" Silvia asked.

Tyler quickly carried her. He also felt a little discomfort. He looked at Lily for an explanation.

"The gravity here is a little tricky. It is lesser," she said, jumping slightly. She jumped a little higher than usual and was a little slower than usual.

As they walked further in, the gravity became lesser and lesser. Soon they reached the edge. It was like a huge cliff near the Abyss. The visible planets and stars disappeared as they reached the edge.

At the edge of the Boundless World, where reality itself seemed to unravel, Tyler stood gazing into the endless void. Others were also marveled by the sight.

The ground beneath his feet gave way to a sheer drop into nothingness, an expanse of darkness that swallowed all light and sound. The void stretched infinitely in every direction, an ocean of inky blackness dotted occasionally by faint, glimmering stars that seemed to float aimlessly. These stars, unlike those in the night sky above, were distant and cold, their light weak and ethereal. They provided no warmth or comfort, only a haunting reminder of the vast emptiness that lay beyond the world’s edge.

Tyler’s gaze was drawn into this abyss, his mind grappling with the enormity of the void. It was as if he were staring into the very fabric of the universe, a place where time and space had no meaning. The void seemed to pulse with a strange energy, a silent whisper that beckoned and repelled in equal measure.

"The sensation of standing at this precipice is both exhilarating and terrifying," Tyler murmured. The sheer scale of the void made him feel insignificantly small, a mere speck in the grand tapestry of existence. He could even hear his own voice.

Tyler moved his hand. There is some protective invisible layer before him. Even if someone wanted to, they can’t jump in the void. These invisible layers are probably arranged by Ancient Gods.

"It’s like we are a speck of dust in the endless void," Mana said exactly what he was thinking.

"Someone once said that, ’In the context of eternity, a speck of dust is a miracle.’ The edge of the Boundless World is a place of both endings and beginnings, a threshold to the infinite," Mathilda added.

"Well, many people believe that the North is the same. But legends say you will see endless possibilities or eternal loneliness at the other edge," Lily said.

"According to the culture here, One should say their wish while facing north." Mathilda explained.

"I want to collect all types of girls and become their mommy." Mathilda said and others gave her side eye.

"Mana wants Revenge." Mana said. Tyler patted her head.

"Well. I don’t have any wishes now. I will find my purpose in the North." Lily Gomes said.

"I don’t want Eternity in the North. But I want to..." Tyler’s words trailed off, and the others looked at him in shock.

"I knew it. There’s something wrong in your head," Mathilda said.

"Is it okay to discuss this in front of me?" Lily mumbled.

"Mana wants to see if it can really happen," Mana’s eyes shined, "Now it’s Silvia’s turn. Come on, tell your deepest darkest wish. I want to flip over uncle horn-"

*bonk* she got bonk from Tyler.

Suddenly, Silvia began to glow. Her hair turned white, and her ears grew long and pointy. Tyler and the others looked at her in shock.

"What the—" Tyler started, unable to finish his sentence as he stared at Silvia’s transformation.
