My Level Zero System

Aside from the three magic skills that could attack, defend, and scout, [Multiple Thinking] was the one that interested Kain the most.

Kain then glanced at Mera, who was still sleeping peacefully, as if nothing had happened.

However, perhaps only Kain knew that she was almost in trouble. Although Kain was not clear about what would happen, from Mera's mother's reaction, it seemed that the fate that awaited them ahead was not good at all.

Kain sighed, fortunately he had thought of a solution, even if he wanted to chase, how could that thread pass through the structure he had built in just a few days.

If those people knew the method that Kain had taken, I'm afraid even they would have to applaud with a "unique" cry. Because the minds of normal humans, or even those of spiritually sublimated Magus, cannot really clearly visualize complex structures.

Take the magic skill [Imitative] for example. On the surface, it looks like Magus is creating three-dimensional virtual images of the surrounding terrain when he casts that magic skill. But in reality, it's just his spiritual waves spreading and reflecting that information, and Magus is just passively receiving that information.

This is not much different from looking at a painting, where, in theory, all the information about the painting is already in the mind of the observer. But when asked to draw the painting, almost no one can do it. This involves other factors, but that is the basic idea.

That is, even if someone wanted to imitate Kain's methods. They would at least have to have the ability to structure and visualize space on par with him, not to mention his memory.

So even if they were to imitate it, the maze they created would only be a simple block structure, and the thread could easily be crossed in a short time.

That is why his method is "unique".

The situation had stabilized and it was time to rest, but with his brain working so hard, Kain had a hard time restraining himself from thinking about other matters.

This problem had been bothering him from the very beginning, and it had become even more troubling after Kain had confirmed a few things in his spiritual phase.

"Why did she do that? Doesn't she know that getting married and having children will put her own family and her own daughter in danger?"

That was Kain's question from the start.

Kain was not in a position to judge Mera's mother's desire for happiness, but leaving with only such a warning to her daughter, while this warning may not be effective in the long run. There were really too many variables, and reality proved that Mera not only did not stay away from magic, but was also deeply involved in magic.

Honestly, if anyone heard this story, they would mostly see the great and immense mother-child love, but Kain saw irresponsibility somewhere within the story.

Of course, that was in case Mera's mother knew about the thing inside her that would be passed down to her daughter.

Logically speaking, her mother knew that she would pass something on to her daughter, otherwise she wouldn't have advised her children to stay away from magic from such a young age.

But if she really knew that, and she loved her children, she shouldn't… have had a family and given birth to children.

Kain knew this sounded cruel to a mother, to Mera, and to himself. But he was considering it as rationally as possible.

Because no one can guarantee that the children's future will never be exposed to magic.

At the same time, there is no guarantee that she will never run out of energy.

Thinking of this, a guess flashed through Kain's mind, but his expression quickly darkened.

He didn't want this to be true, he would rather have guessed wrong.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from beside him, interrupting Kain's train of thought.

"Kain, you..."

It was Myra's voice.

Her tone was filled with worry.

In a flash, Kain calmed down.

He said softly.

"Get me up first, we'll talk later."

Myra didn't know how to respond, she could only helplessly pull Kain up. But his steps continued to tremble, proving how weak he was at this moment.

After helping Kain sit down, Katie, Hector, and Leo quickly ran over. Everyone looked worried, but no one dared to ask him anything since he didn't say anything. Just like that, Kain silently let Katie heal him, while Myra stared at him, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Thank you Katie."

Seeing that his body was fine, Kain thanked Katie, then his eyes seemed to have some hidden meaning. Katie understood, quickly pulling Hector and Leo who still didn't understand anything away from that place.

It was obvious that both Kain and Myra were acting strangely, and with Mera's unusual state of sleep, it wasn't hard for Katie to guess that something had happened between them.

Just like that, three people, including Mera, surrounded the campfire.

The firelight reflected off Kain's face, revealing a very strange emotion from him.

Myra seemed to want to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Too much information and thoughts rolled in at once, momentarily leaving Myra at a loss for what to say, or what to ask.

In the end, it was Kain who had to speak first.

He seemed to see through her heart, knowing her deepest thoughts at this moment.

"If you don't know what to ask me first, then..."

"Tell me... why are you so badly injured?"

Myra finally blurted out.

Kain nodded, and his train of thought was pushed back in time.

By then, Kain's counterattack plan had entered its final stages, and he was approaching very close to the central area of the lonely fortress.

He weaved through the winding paths, dodging monsters. As the path grew narrower, Kain knew he was nearing his destination

Meanwhile, at the center of the lonely fortress.

Kain's prediction was correct once again, even though it was a terrible prediction for him.

"That thing" was indeed too strategically cautious for Kain.

Just because of the slight time difference and Kain still not appearing, it started to get suspicious.

"That thing" was indeed too strategically cautious for Kain.

Just because of the slight time difference and Kain still not appearing, it started to get suspicious.

Suspicion of "that thing" fell on time.

As it predicted, by this moment Kain should have already realized its first strategic layer, after he realized the first strategic layer was fake, he would have advanced to the second strategic layer and considered it as the real strategic layer of "that thing", smugly thinking that he had seen through everything and quickly ran away. At that time, he would not know that this was actually the third strategic layer that it had created and stacked, with the first two strategic layers just being a double diversion.

This was its original intention.

And "that thing" started thinking again.

It began to simulate, what if Kain had known all three layers of its strategy?

Thus, Kain would not flee westward as he had intended from the beginning.

At the same time, he also wouldn't sit still and hide, because that would only prolong his death.

Therefore, the only way for him to escape, most likely, is to... go back inside.

At this point, it finally realized where its fatal mistake was.

Because of the third strategic layer, the powerful subordinates protecting it had all been dispatched, and in a short time they would not be able to return even if it called out.

Then, except for the western garrison area, the other areas were still in their normal state. That meant that even if Kain escaped there, it wouldn't be able to do anything to him in the short term.

But "that thing" knew, Kain would not do that, because this was just another delay of death.

So what Kain would do would be…

Kill it.

All of this reasoning happened extremely quickly, and just as it reached its conclusion, a loud thunderous sound was heard outside.

Kain entered its domain, a few bolts of lightning still lingering around him.

Behind him were the corpses of monsters. Even though "that thing" had sent its most capable subordinates, it still left behind a branch of troops as a backup, but unfortunately they were too weak, and were quickly annihilated by Kain to gain skill points.

"First time meeting."

"I have to admit, you're pretty good. But I'll have to kill you right then."

His voice was low, neither arrogant nor confident.
