An expression it could not recall having for at least a million years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its gaze shifted from the cup of coffee to the young and completely strange boy that was sitting at the edge of the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the fact that the boy had offered him this strange and unknown cup of coffee with a smile, the distance between both of them was at least hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, an expression of realization dawned on Corey, and then he slapped his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foolish me. I completely forgot that you’re bound and you can’t get the cup of coffee from where you are. Or can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey asked with a slight tilt of his head, but without waiting for the corpse to answer, he shook his head vigorously and tapped the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course you can’t. I’m so foolish once again to be asking such questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, and a gentle wind blew beneath the cup of coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here. Let me help you with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cup of coffee floated toward the corpse till it appeared directly in front of his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhm... So, do you still need help drinking it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey asked with an unsure tone, and the corpse looked at him for three straight seconds, and Corey tilted his head and blinked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse looked back at the cup of coffee that was still hot despite the wind hovering beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse stared at the wind for a second, and then Corey felt an unknown power surround the cup of coffee, and without hesitation, he dispersed the wind he was manipulating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your control of runes and formations is... not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are some slight changes you can make to make your control much better, but for your level... It’s not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey tilted his head slightly, and then he smiled. \"Coming from a respected Archmage, I feel honored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\" The corpse nodded its head slightly, and then the cup of coffee was brought to its lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Corey’s slight surprise, the corpse drank the coffee upside down and not a single drop of coffee fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I guess I should not be surprised since an Archmage should have a lot of control over their powers.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Corey had this thought, the Archmage removed the cup from his lips and smacked them with bright eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is truly delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey smiled. \"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse drank from the cup again, and Corey asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way. I never got to know your name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse glanced at him, and for a fraction of a second, Corey thought he noticed a flash of irritation in the eyes of the corpse, and he was taken aback for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Don’t tell me that he was angry because I interrupted him from drinking his cup of coffee?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips almost twitched, and then the corpse replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Archmage Kael Yurein.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse replied nonchalantly, and Corey nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Just as I said.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archmage glanced at Corey, expecting a reaction of shock, disbelief, and awe. But when he saw none of that from Corey, he just shook his head in anger and disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey looked around once again with his pure white eyes scanning whatever it was that he could scan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened to you by the way? Why are you in this position and... situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey asked without looking directly at Archmage Kael, and the Archmage replied with his eyes closed. He was enjoying his coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time around, Corey looked at the Archmage with raised brows, and without opening his eyes, the Archmage continued speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you so calm? Why are you not worried? Why are you not in fear? Why are you speaking to me like you’re not in a dangerous situation? Shouldn’t you be fighting me? Attacking me? Running away? Thinking of ways to save your life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey looked at Archmage Kael for a second, and then he shifted his gaze to his steaming cup of coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a sip, and then he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Am I in danger?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time around, the Archmage looked at Corey with an expression that said- ’Are you an idiot?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t that obvious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey smiled lightly, and then he took another sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you get into this situation? What happened to you? And who put a great Archmage as yourself into this situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Kael frowned, and then he looked at his cup of coffee before taking a sip from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a long story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make it short.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Kael was taken aback, and then he looked at Corey with a perplexed expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a strange one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well. You said I was in danger, and I believe I don’t have that much time to be listening to long stories.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey shifted his gaze to the crown of bones beneath that was on the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Kael also looked at the crown of bones, and a light smile appeared on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you already know the true source of danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey tilted his head slightly as he drank from his cup of coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe.\" He smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Kael stared at him, and then he shook his head with a soft chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder what supreme world you came from. Because only a supreme world can create somebody as talented as you... A supreme world that’s like my home planet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corey’s expression was calm as he listened to the words of the Archmage while sipping his hot cup of coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archmage Kael sighed softly, and then he looked at Corey straight in the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for your question... I was tricked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-03T08:32:57.245Z","2026-06-03T08:33:01.851Z",1,"novelbin.me","06d8c402524f36b263ef51d4324c7648550b24cea493ec95106fa13824c05baa","single-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-chapter-889","single-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-chapter-887",1197,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsingle-wish-rise-of-the-omniscient-paragon-cover.jpg"]
