The supreme sovereign system

"Before I answer that, there are somethings I need to speak with you" Said the man.

"Sure, what is it?" Asked Alfonso.

"First, have you hear of the Timeless house?" Asked the man.

"Timeless?" Alfonso though.

"No, never in my life I have heard about it" Answered Alfonso.

"…I see" Said the man with a complicated face.

The man stood in silence while Alfonso looked at him.

"Then, have you of the name…\'Primordius\'?" Said the man.

Alfonso suddenly felt a headache after hearing the name.

"Primordius… I… I think… I" Alfonso grabbed his head for some seconds before returning to normal.

"No, I haven\'t heard that name before" Said Alfonso dully.

"I see" Said the man with a sigh.

"It\'s better in a way, to forget everything about her" Though the man.

"Who is this person?" Asked Alfonso.

"No one, forget it, it\'s not important" Said the man.

"Sure…" Said Alfonso.

"Anyway, the reason I wanted to talk to you it\'s because I felt a certain power in you that felts really familiar…" Said the man.

"You can use the power of time… correct?" Asked the man.

Alfonso panicked a little when he heard the man. Until now, nobody has ever been able to pinpoint his powers, after all, the power of time vanished, or at least, that was supposed to be after the great war of gods how knows how many years ago.

Since that time, the four forbidden powers were supposed to never see the light again.

"…" Alfonso was struggling to answer.

"I will interpret your silence as a yes" Said the man.

"Don\'t be alarmed, I have no intention to harm you" Said the man.

"How do you know about the power of time?" Asked Alfonso.

"My family was the last family that was blessed with the power of time" Said the man with a melancholic voice.

"WHAT!?" Alfonso was alarmed.

"On my time, our house was one of what you call \'Dragon houses\', although our power overtime wasn\'t as good as yours, we still could use it" Said the man.

"Then… you have been in this state…"

"For almost 5000 years" Said the man with a helpless smile.

"So…so long? Impossible, your soul power should have dissipated a long time ago!" Said Alfonso.

"You have seen this place, the soul power is minimal, so, the absorption rate of the world is minimal as well, and I don\'t want to flatter myself but I was a pretty powerful person in Leitol, at my prime, my soul power was the most abundant among my peers, still, I couldn\'t avoid my final fate" Said the man.

"Nobody can avoid death, not even gods can\'t, let alone humans" Said Alfonso.

The man looked at Alfonso and smiled.

"It seems that, despite your age, you have experienced a lot"

"Too much" Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.

 The man laughed a little.

"My friend, it seems that meeting you here is fate" Said the man.

"Indeed, it seems like fate, however, I am a little bit too young for you to call friend?"

"Certainly, you are young, however, age doesn\'t always equate to life experience" Said the man.

"Just for a few words? I don\'t believe you"

"Certainly, few words cannot convince me, however, the fact that you can talk to me like this does" Said the man.

"What do you mean?"

"It seems that you are not aware of the curse of time" Said the man with a strange expression.

"The curse of time? I haven\'t heard that in a long time" Though Alfonso.

The curse of time, something that the damn kid gave Alfonso back when he received the legacy of time, in less than 10 years, if he couldn\'t reunite the artifacts of time, he would die.

Until today, he knew the location of three of four artifacts of time.

The first artifact was with him, the cane of time.

The second artifact was in the underworld, he didn\'t know which.

The third artifact was with Felipe, he also didn\'t know which but he suspected that it was the ring of time.

As for the fourth one, he didn\'t have a clue.

"The curse of time?" Asked Alfonso while feigning ignorance.

"Every person that uses the cursed power of time… end up losing their minds, that\'s also part of the reason why the power of time is forbidden" Said the man.

"Losing their minds?"

"Back on my days, the power of time was like a curse, whatever champion that was born with this power was fated to die a young death, and the worse part was that they will lose their sanity little by little" Said the man.

Alfonso was stunned with this information.

"However, we, the timeless family, had a heritage that let us use a little bit of the power of time without damaging our sanity" Said the man.

"Heritage?"

"The records of my family said that the founder of our family, Isaac Timeless, was the first champion that managed to surpass the power of time with his will and found an equilibrium, this made the rampage massacre of the power of time stop, after all, if the champion didn\'t die, there wouldn\'t be another champion of time. In the end, Isaac failed to ascend, but, the gods took pity of this man and the courage he had for reveling to the overlord power of time, making his descendants carriage his will since young and making the power of time \'sealed\' in our bloodline. We were the sovereign family for five generations… alas, the power of time wasn\'t something that we humans could control just like that. Each generation, the power of time came stronger and stronger, and our minds couldn\'t resist the overwhelming power of time, making my great grandfather the first to lost his sanity since the epoch of Isaac at the age of forty, the other houses view this opportunity and stripped our power, however, we were strong so they couldn\'t go too far, so we retreated to the north, where our family members died younger and younger with each generation" Said the man with some sadness in his words.

"…" Alfonso was speechless.

"Anyway, the fact that you can remain sane even with that much power of time makes me think of you as someone value of my friendship" Said the man.

Alfonso looked at the man with a complex face, he didn\'t know what to think at the moment.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself" Said the man.

He extended his hand and, with a big smile, he said

"My name is Odysseus"
