A necropolis spaceship traveled through the worm holes, keeping the shield and invisibility cloak in full force.
The space wormholes helped the ship travel through space faster, acting like a shortcut within space. However, even as the distance was shortened, it didn’t mean that the time taken was much different.
The time inside the black hole moved much slower than the outside world. A few minutes within the space tunnels ranged from hours to months, depending on the strength of the wormhole and the distance to be covered.
Leo had only been in the spatial tunnel for a few hours but he had already received a notification from the system.
[Congratulations Host, you have completed the second month]
[Your rewards are being calculated...]
This time, Leo wasn’t as shocked as before. He had already experienced this difference in time in the past. If anything, he felt glad that he didn’t have to wait for a long time to get the results.
It was like a shortcut that could bring him the results in a short time. However, it was also a little problematic since the outside world was moving much faster.
The people that he knew were growing older at a much faster rate than him inside a space tunnel.
Could this even be called expanding his lifespan since it made him live longer than others, even though his lifespan was still the same? The thought momentarily distracted him before the system brought him back to his senses.

Leo could only see the words on the system screen, but he could feel the excitement hidden behind those words as if the system was genuinely cheering for him.
[You have been granted double the rebate in your personal account. You can use the money freely on investments or your personal leisure]
[To make the life convenient for the host, a private account has been created to hold the private funds]
"A new account?" Leo frowned, as his phone rang with a notification.
He checked the phone and found a notification confirming his account opening.
........
Dear Customer, thank you for selecting Arcadia Bank. Your account has been successfully opened.
Available Balance: 18,600,0000

"Arcadia Bank? Why haven’t I heard of this before?"
Leo placed the bank’s name on the Galactic Net to search for it. However, he didn’t find even a single mention of this bank.
If he hadn’t received the update from the system, he would have been considered if someone was trying to scam him with a fake bank.
Not only did he get a message from a non-existent bank, but a digital also appeared on his phone. It was installed out of nowhere, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Leo opened the digital application, but it didn’t open. No interface launched from the application.
"Is this going to work? If it doesn’t even open, then what about my 18.6 million reward?" Leo tapped the app’s icon fiercely, but nothing changed.
He was starting to worry if this was it. Was this the reward of the system? What was the point if he couldn’t even use it?
"Have I been scammed?" Leo mumbled, but just then something happened.
He saw his surroundings change. Even within the most secure spaceship in the universe, something had managed to infiltrate.
It was a creature that appeared before Leo, appearing out of thin air as well.
Leo rubbed his eyes to make sure that he wasn’t seeing things, but that didn’t seem to be the case. It was real.
In front of him, there was a small goblin, the size of Leo’s hand. The goblin was dressed in black coat and pants. He tightened his professional tie around his neck before positioning his round frame glasses.
There was also a tiny table that was floating before that small strangely professional goblin.
There was even a tiny computer placed on the table. It wasn’t like the devices used in the current era. It looked like the old and thick computers that had been pushed out of use centuries ago with the advancement of technology.
There was a mechanical keyboard that was making noise as the goblin typed something.
"Mr, Leo Vanderlen. It’s a pleasure to meet our precious customer. So what brought you here?"
The Goblin raised his head and looked beyond the computer screen to Leo. Meanwhile, on his small screen, the entire account detail of Leo’s account was being flashed.
"What brought me here? Aren’t you the one who came here?" Leo mumbled in confusion. "Wait a minute. That’s not important. What’s important is that you just called me a precious customer. Don’t tell me you are from Arcadia Bank?"
"That would be correct. Let me introduce myself." The goblin stood up, looking comically small as he reached out his hand. "I am the Manager of Arcadia Bank."
"Uhh..." Leo reached out a finger, which the goblin held and tried to shake like he was shaking hands.
Leo played along, but this scene felt like he was going through deja vu. The only difference was that the last time he was on the other side of this interaction, he had tried to shake Voldred’s hand.
The Manager pulled his chair back and took his seat again.
"So, now that we are done with the introduction, shall we get to work? How can I help you today? Would you like to withdraw the money, deposit, or something beyond?"
’This is so absurd. Just what is this bank... It can even teleport inside a moving Necropolis Ship that is already inside a wormhole. Is that even physically possible?’ Leo also returned to his seat, stealing repeated glances at the goblin.
"Can I ask you some questions about your bank?"
"Ah, so you want to go through the customer onboarding process. I should’ve guessed." The Goblin became a little relaxed and tossed his chair back. "So what do you want to know?’
"Why can’t I find anything about your bank? How big is it? How many branches do you have? How many customers do you have?" Leo asked. "And lastly, how safe is it to keep my wealth in your bank?"
"To answer your questions, you can’t find anything about our bank because we were just created today. And you are our first customer," the Goblin answered with a smile.
