Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Seojun wrapped his arms around Yggrith's waist. "We'll go now," he said.

Yggrith nodded without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the room and reappeared in front of a house. Yggrith looked around in curiosity.

"Where are we, my lord?"Seojun glanced at her before stepping forward. "This is my home. Welcome, Yggrith."

She took in the surroundings with quiet admiration. "So this is my lord's home… It feels warm and beautiful."

"I've placed a barrier around this area. No one can enter without my permission. This is the perfect place for the seed."

Yggrith nodded in understanding, then turned to him with a thoughtful look. "We need a large space, my lord. Only my seed should be planted there."

Seojun didn't hesitate. "I know the perfect spot."He led her to the another side of the backyard. The area was spacious, enclosed by walls that Alex had rebuilt to prevent trespassers. It was private and secure—exactly what they needed.

After clearing away some debris and making space, Seojun dusted off his hands. "Yggrith."

Yggrith stepped forward and nodded. "I will guide you, my lord. Let us begin."

Yggrith stepped forward, her translucent form glowing faintly under the night sky. She extended her hand, and a soft green light flowed from her fingertips.

"This spot is good," she said with a smile. "The soil here is rich with mana, and your barrier will protect my seed while it grows."

Seojun reached into his inventory and took out the Seed of Yggrith. It was small, but the energy it held was overwhelming. The moment it rested in his palm, the air around them stirred slightly, as if responding to its presence.

"What do I need to do?" he asked.Yggrith knelt down and traced a small circle on the ground with her fingers. Glowing runes appeared where she touched.

"Place the seed in the center, my lord," she instructed gently.Seojun did as she said, carefully setting the seed inside the marked spot.Yggrith then floated back and clasped her hands together.

"Now, we must give it life."She glanced at Seojun. "Your mana will awaken it, but we also need a catalyst to help it adapt to this realm. Do you have one?"

Seojun nodded and pulled out one of the three Yggrith Leaves from his inventory. He had read its description earlier—it could strengthen the seed's connection to this world. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

"Perfect," Yggrith said approvingly. "Now, pour your mana into the seed while placing the leaf beside it."

Seojun held the leaf near the seed and closed his eyes. He guided his mana carefully, sending it into the ground, surrounding the seed like a protective cocoon.A moment of silence passed.

Then, the earth trembled slightly.Thin green vines sprouted from the ground, wrapping around the leaf and pulling it down into the soil. The runes glowed brighter, and the seed pulsed with life.Yggrith smiled.

"It has accepted your energy. Now, we wait."Seojun exhaled, feeling a slight drain from using his mana. He sat back, watching as the vines continued to grow, slowly but surely.

"How long will it take?" he asked.Yggrith floated beside him, her presence calming. "With your mana, it will grow faster than usual, but it still needs time. A few minutes, at least."

Seojun leaned back on his hands, watching the vines sway gently in the night breeze.

Few minutes later...The vines continued to weave together, forming a small sapling no taller than Seojun's waist. Its leaves shimmered faintly under the moonlight, carrying traces of the Abyss's energy yet blending naturally into this world

.Yggrith placed her hand on the young tree, her expression warm yet tinged with sadness. "It is ready, my lord. But I cannot stay much longer."Seojun frowned slightly.

"Your time in this realm is running out already?"

She nodded, turning to him with a gentle smile. "The balance of this world rejects my full presence. However—"

She stepped closer, placing a glowing hand on the sapling's trunk. "I will leave a part of myself behind to guide it. As the tree grows, it will strengthen our connection."

A soft glow pulsed from her hand and seeped into the tree. The sapling shivered slightly before settling, its roots embedding deeper into the ground.

"When this tree reaches full growth," Yggrith continued, "I will be able to come here freely, as if it were an anchor between our worlds."

Seojun's eyes lingered on the sapling, understanding the weight of her words. "So this tree will act as a bridge—only for you?"Yggrith nodded.

"Yes. It is a gift, a way for me to visit you whenever I wish. And in return, it will help stabilize the creatures of the Abyss that find their way here."

Seojun exhaled, feeling a deep sense of relief. "That's good."

She chuckled softly. "I knew you'd like that, my lord."

Her form began to flicker slightly, signaling that her time was almost up. She looked at him one last time, her expression filled with trust and warmth.

"Take care of the tree, My lord," she whispered. "I will return when it is ready."With those final words, her body slowly faded, her presence merging with the sapling's faint glow.

The tree pulsed once more before settling into stillness, standing as a quiet promise between them.Seojun remained still for a moment, watching the leaves sway gently. Then, he let out a breath and turned away.

"Now, I just have to make sure it grows."

After returning to Soando Island, Seojun checked on the ant queen. She had returned to normal, her once-aggressive nature now calm. Under his guidance, she led her colony deeper into the forest, where they built a new nest, away from human settlements.

Days passed peacefully, but his next quest had finally arrived.

As Seojun walked toward the guild, his system suddenly spoke up.

[Anyway, host, something's been bothering me.]

Seojun raised an eyebrow. "What is it now?"

[Why are you treating Yggrith so differently?]

Seojun frowned. "Differently? What do you mean?"

[Oh, don't act innocent! You're so gentle with her! That's not like you at all, host!]

Seojun blinked, caught off guard. "Am I?" He thought about it for a moment before speaking again. "I don't know… I just feel calm when she's around. Just like when I was in the Abyss."

[Hmm… Is that really the reason, host?]

Seojun sighed. "And why does this even bother you?"

[Nothing! It's just… I'm not used to seeing you like that. You only act that way around your mother. So maybe… I thought there was something else? But if there is, don't worry! She's nice!]

"Shut up. You talk too much."

Ignoring his system, Seojun pushed open the guild doors and stepped inside, ready for his next mission.
