《A Descendant To being DROPPED》 -2 Chapter 0 - I Died? Information Dump Author - This Chapter will just be a lot of information like why the MC was chosen by the system, stuff like that. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Wake Up, Little Soul] was the first thing I heard as I started "Waking Up", [Oh! Finally woke up you lazy bum?] " . . . " [You probably can''t understand me neither can you speak after you died but don''t worry I''m a nice person.] As this voice stopped talking, I heard another robotic-kind of voice talking [You Received "Language Mastery": Allow the Host to master every Language] As I heard this voice, I felt a refreshing feeling in my brain and a lot of strange text and voice started appearing in my brain. As this event ended I could now speak and understand what the voices were saying, then I tried talking with the voices. "I DIED!?" [Yeah. You died because of you trying to put-up the hero saves the princess act to flirt with a girl thing is the other guy had a gun and heh] "Fuck and who the fuck are you?" [I''m Bayn Artfield, a lesser god that decided to sacrifice himself to "The One Above All" and therefore became a "System" that will help you become a god] "Where am I?" [In my Sub-Space from when I was a God] "Why did you choose me?" [Because your soul is one of the strongest I came across, your soul didn''t split at the moment of your death.] "Why would my soul split?" [You see, every soul reincarnate but the population of living grow so the Higher-Gods decided that the weaker soul should split into 2 Souls to fix this problem, now considering the amount of Living, the Soul that doesn''t split are rare occurance and are considered as the Strongest Soul] "How did my Soul become strong?" [Nobody knows how Soul grows strong every Gods, and the Soul doesn''t become strong because the body was strong considering even a God could have a weaker soul than a Mortal] "Ok, then who is "The One Above All" [He is the Strongest Entity of this world] "What is a System?" [A System is a special tool that can only appear when a God sacrifice himself to "The One Above All", A System can give Task to his Host, those Task generally gives Reward after it''s successfully completed. It can also allow Host to access "World Shop" which is the shop owned by "The One Above All". Allows Host to clearly know how strong he is with "Status", Allow Host to easily learn, upgrade and have information with Skills/Abilities in the "Skills/Abilities Page". Allow Host to use the Lottery using Tickets earned by killing monsters. Every of those functions can be unlocked, other function I didn''t tell you about can also be unlocked in the future] "Why did you sacrifice yourself?" [Because I couldn''t become stronger and I would die anyway so I decided to groom someone to become a God but my only request to you is that you get revenge for me when you become strong] [Anyway . . . I will now ask you two important things. 1. Do you want to get knowledge from your past lives?] "Well . . Yes. I guess." As I finished my sentence I felt the same refreshing feeling than before but this time it also felt painful, very painful . . too painful. "FUCK! Why is it so painful!! It feels like my brain is exploding! It wasn''t like that before" [Well yeah. Before it was only Language right now you got memory from ALL your past lives which is A LOT, don''t worry if the memory seems as if it was fuzzy, the reason is that if we gave you clear memory you would''ve exploded] "You know what you just said just gave me worry." [Huh. Don''t care! Now . . In which kind of world do you want to reincarnate, 1. Cultivation 2. Game-Like Fantasy 3. Sci-Fi 4. Fantasy] "I take 2. Game-Like Fantasy" [Why?] "Because this world looks like the easiest" [Ok then. Which race do you choose now?] "Which Race is the best for a Jack of All Trades?" [Human] "Fuck. I don''t want to be Human for like the 100th time" [Then You can be an Undead] "You know what. Human seems like a good choice" [Well then prepare to enter the world of "Game-Like Fantasy"] "WAIT THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE NAME OF THE WORLD?" As I finished saying that, I felt something dragging me down. -1 Chapter 1 - How can I be conscious? Another InfoDump/Character Talking [Hey] Was the first thing I heard after waking up, when I woke up it felt as if I was in some kind of liquid so I just asked ''Where am I?'' [You''re in a womb] ''How the fuck can I be conscious?'' [Well, in fact you''re not I''m just talking with your mind, right now you can''t use your body] ''Wait you could read my mind from the start, then why the FUCK didn''t you tell me before?'' [You didn''t ask] ''Don''t pull those stupid stuff. Anyway shouldn''t I have some kind of Newbie Package?'' [Yeah you have one. Want to open it?] ''I think maybe well OBVIOUSLY YES'' after accepting this offer I heard the same robotic voice from before. {You Received : - 5000 EXP - 5 Lottery Tickets - 3 Function Unlocker "What are those Function Unlocker?" [By using them you can unlock function from the system, right now you have 0 function unlocked] "Huh, considering I have 5 Lottery Tickets I should get the Lottery Function and the Status for obvious reason. Then what is BB - Rank?" [There is multiple Skill Ranks in the world, I''ll class them from lower to higher to you : F -\u003e FF -\u003e FFF -\u003e E -\u003e EE -\u003e EEE -\u003e D -\u003e DD -\u003e DDD -\u003e C -\u003e CC -\u003e CCC -\u003e B -\u003e BB -\u003e BBB -\u003e A -\u003e AA -\u003e AAA -\u003e S -\u003e SS -\u003e SSS - \u003e ¡ã¡ã¡ã¡¤.¡ã¡¤..¡¤¡ã¡ã¡ã¡¤.¡ã¡¤..¡¤] "Huh! Some strange thing happened to your voice towards the end" [It''s because "The One Above All" judged you aren''t qualified to know those things for the moment] "Wait it means you''re under "The One Above All" ? " [How do I explain. It''s better to say that I can do what I want but it can''t be abusive, let''s say I make a Task that requires you to kill a rat, I can''t give you a SSS-Rank skill for that because even if I wanted, "The One Above All" wouldn''t accept that, the Newbie Package was something I made from my last strand of divinity and so "The One Above All" accepted for those stuffs to appear, normally "Newbie Package" wouldn''t exist] "Fuck. You''re actually a nice guy" [Yeah anyway, for your last function Unlocker I''ll advise you to put it in "Shop", because that''s where you can use your BB - Rank Skill Ticket] "Well then what''s there to wait let''s do that!" {You Used 3 Functions Unlocker to Unlock : - World Shop - Status {You have 5 Lottery Tickets choose the banner you want to use them on : - Regular - Seven Deadly Sins "What? Why is there Anime Banner?" [Those are Special Banner that are limited in time, those cost 2 Lottery Tickets per use or 1 Special Tickets. The Special Banner can give material, skill, items, even summoning cards that allows you to summon a specific character in "Game-Like Fantasy" to help you] "I hate the name of this world anyway use my Lottery Tickets on Normal" {You Received : 1 FF - Rank Skill Ticket 200 EXP 2 Shoes "Two F* Shoes" [Hey look at the good side there is 1000 of items in the lottery pool but you succeded in getting the same items in 5 Draws] "I hate you Bayn" [Anyway if you want to use your Status thinks "Status" and the World Shop well just "Shop] ''Status'' {???? ?????

[Before you get the FF-Rank Skill, I advise you to take a Training Method, because you''ll be stuck here for some months might aswell train in this place right?] I guess he is right but if I were to do things like absorbing mana particle in my surrounding wouldn''t that be the same as absorbing my new mother''s mana? [Don''t Worry even if you absorb mana particle it won''t take too much on her body] Well then it removes a burden but I really wish we could remove this mind reading ability {FF-Rank Skill : -------------- Body/Magic Training Superior Body Training Superior Magic Training ''Old guy I need your help'' [I''m not old stupid Foetus And you should take Body/Magic Training if you wish to train both, if you choose Body or Magic training then you won''t be able to train in both way but considering the skill you chose before you should get the Body/Magic training, considering you can just get a better Body/Magic Training after.] ''Then I want to learn Body/Magic Training'' {You Learned "Body/Magic Training : Allows Host to train in both Body and Magic. ''What''s with those Manual and Automatic?'' [Manual means when you use it directly and Automatic just means that no matter what you do you''ll receive those. Just an advise don''t tell anyone about Body/Magic Training Method, those are considered to be long lost and people would be trying to kill you. Don''t worry even if you''re killed I''ll stay with you because I''m already binded to your soul but it''ll remove all of your efforts if you''re killed] Anyway, let''s take a look at the [Shop] now. Oh . . . You fucking kidding me, how do I even get World Coins [Kill Monsters and you''ll have World Coins] ''Fuck this shit. Now shut up and let me train just call me when i''m born'' 1 Chapter 02 - Thats so cliche! 4 Months Later - In a mansion near the Dragon River. Multiple sounds could be heard. Today it was the birth of the 4th child of the EtherBlood Family. "Congratulations! Hilar it''s a boy. Do you have any ideas for his name?" When the man wearing a white coat said that, the beautiful woman on the bed showed a delighted expression, pondered for a while before saying. "Grimson. Grimson EtherBlood shall be his name." After a while, a man wearing a serious expression came into the room, when he saw the baby he showed for a second a delighted expression before returning to his serious one. "Count Remfrey, the enemies are coming" "What! They were supposed to be coming tomorrow" "That was what was supposed to happen but they had Support-Type Mages with them that casted [Mass Acceleration] on the army" During the conversation Hilar''s and Remfrey''s face started showing a grave expression. "Remfrey. What about the kids?" "I will send them to my brother''s mansion, he would probably be able to help them" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Hey! You should probably wake up now you''re born] ''Oh f* finally?'' After saying that I tried to look around me but all I could see were blurry images, I guess it''s because I''m still a baby, I then decided to just hear what they were saying. After hearing their conversation there was only one thing that came into my mind . THAT''S SO CLICHE!. I guess I can''t stop them I should just take a look at my new stats. ''Status'' {Grimson EtherBlood Age : 0 Title : None Level : 0 (0/100) Exp : 15200 Class : ??? Health : 100 Mana : 100 Fatigue : 10 Special Condition : Baby [Can Unleash 10% of Strength, gets fatigue way faster] Allocable Points : 0 Normal Stats : Vitality : 20 Strength : 20 Dexterity : 20 Agility : 20 Magic : 20 Wisdom : 20 Stamina : 20 Special Stats : Defence : 5 Luck : 2 Ah, Great I finally lost this Just Born Special Condition but then, I wonder does people in this world have stuff like [Appraisal-Sama] [Yeah they do but they can only look at Level so as long as you don''t use your EXP on your level you won''t get caught, if you want you can just level up to Level 5, if a baby is at Level 5 when he is born he is considered to be at the Highest-Tier of Talent which appear only once in a era, with this status you''ll get treated like a God everywhere you go] I''m going to be a God anyway so put my EXP into Level until I reach Level 5 {Used 100 EXP. Reached Level 1 Used 200 EXP. Reached Level 2 Used 400 EXP. Reached Level 3 Used 800 EXP Reached Level 4 Used 1600 EXP Reached Level 5 {Secret Achievement : Highest-Tier of Talent Wait What! Okay! First Put 2 Points in Dexterity, put 3 points in everything else now show me my EXP Second. Old Guy what''s this "Secret Achievement" Thing. [Those appears when you succeed in doing something that is worthy of praise, in fact there is 3 Achievements Rank : Regular Achievement Special Achievement Secret Achievement. Regular Achievement and Special Achievement are repeatable, the difference between the two of them is that Special Achievement makes you more reputable to the eyes of others whereas Regular Achievement are Achievement from things that target only dozens or even just one person. Like helping someone out of poverty is Regular and stopping a war is Special. Secret Achievement are things that can only be done once] Third. What''s "Skill Proficiency" [That''s what allows you to make a skill stronger, you can only make a skills stronger after unlocked Skills/Abilities Page. Anyway you should go to sleep considering your Baby status the fatigue is going to near the limit and you''ll lose consciousness] I guess he is right so I will just sleep for the time being. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Day Later - In another Mansion. Two figures could be seen talking one kneeling and the other one standing. "So my brother''s territory is in danger, and he asks me to take care of his Children?" "Yes, Viscount Ramri." "Hmm. Tell him that I accept his offer but that he owes me a favor, and don''t forget to use [Appraisal] Tool on his newborn . Grimson was it?" "Yes, Viscount Ramri." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Old Guy where are we now? [You just arrived to the mansion of Viscount Ramri (The Brother of Count Remfrey) who is also your uncle] After hearing that, I heard footsteps, one was a fat man the other was a graceful lady coming to my direction with some kind of orb in there hand. The lady approached me then started speaking to the fat man "He is here, Dail use the [Appraisal] Tool on him" "How much will his level be, do you think? I bet on 2" "I say 3. After all he is still the son of Count Remfrey" After their little conversation about how much my level will be they finally used that orb called [Appraisal] Tool which started to emit purple light. After some seconds a number started appearing on the orb, after the lady and the man saw the number on the Orb their expression started to change to one of shock and a huge silence appeared. The man was the one who broke the silence "He . . . He is the . . Hero" "We have to inform the Viscount, call the guard, what would happen if the demons were to find out his identity" Hero? I can be everything you want but a Hero? The guys that wants to save everyone by killling a Demon King and are generally more slave of the Humans? {Special Achievement : Impersonating the Hero {Title Acquired : [Fake Hero] {Hero''s Ring [Evolutive] : Part of the Hero Item Set (7), 2 - ??? 5 - ??? 7 - ??? When Equipped: +10 To All Stats *1.25 Skill Proficiency Acquisition *1.5 EXP from Killing Demons Passive Skill : 2 Chapter 3 - You cant do shi Holy crap, this [Hero''s Ring] is so damn good for me. Anyway where is it? I want to equip it. [Well in fact you have to unlock Inventory Function to have access to it] I''ll kill you for this, make a physical body we''ll fight. [You can''t do shit, right now even a 3 year old could beat you] Anyway now that there is so much guard around me, if I summoned a ring it probably would''ve been bad so I guess it''s good. Now I''m starting to wonder where they are going to bring me. [Probably going to meet the Viscount, stupid.] I guessed the same thing I was just about to say it. [No you didn''t, because you''re too stupid] F*ck it. anyway. So I just continued being dragged by guards until they reached a Huge Door, with 2 Guards that looked super strong. "Halt! Announce your Identity and why you''re here" "We are Guards from the [Appraising] Center, we needs to talk to the Viscount it''s really important" "You''re not allo- "Just let them enter" "Yes, Viscount Ramri" Huh. Those guards looks like they are scared of my uncle, he must be one of those tyrant-like noble that treats everyone under them as piece of shit. I can''t hide neither can I run away so let''s just meet him and plan to escape when I get older if he is a bad person. The guards then dragged me into the room, and started kneeling to the handsome man in the room wearing clothes that looked damn expensive. "Why did you come here?" "We came here to announce you that Grimson is the . . [Hero] "WHAT! The [Hero]? Let me think a moment" As he said that he looked like he was pondering for a while then decided to speak. "We should send him to the Church or The Palace of his Highness but considering what happened to the Previous [Heroes] and that he is my nephew I think sending him to those places are bad ideas. So I want you guys to hire the best Teacher to teach him and try to hide his identity as much as possible." Oh so the Church are the bad guy yet again? I hope his Teacher reach my standard. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Month Later, I can now speak and run/walk, my body is also developped enough to be able to handle training, when I started speaking, all the guards/servants and my uncle were surprised but they just shrugged it off they just thought it was normal for the [Hero] to do that and Today, A lot of guard left the Mansion to go to the gates of the territory, apparently they were going to meet my 2 new teachers. From what I heard one was the previous magic teacher of the best academy of the Empire and the other was a retired General of the imperial army, they were considered the most trusted teachers possible because they are friends with my grandfather and so they won''t try to harm me. Well that''s what I hope, they could still try to tell the Church or the Emperor about me so we never know. Anyway I already got used to the body I can now, walk and speak. "Nice to meet you, Grimson, I am your magic teacher Loindri and he will teach you weapon he is Arfin" After hearing that I decided to be a bit arrogant when I answered them. "Nice to meet you too, I hope you can meet my standard when teaching me" After hearing what I said they both frowned obviously from displeasure. The Next day, It was very early in the morning when someone barged into my room, woke me up and just told me to do 3 laps around the Mansion I just wanted to say "WTF dude! That''s pure torture", but I guess that wouldn''t be a good thing for the Hero to say. After I finished the 3 laps my fatigue already reached 50. "Okay now, I think we''re done with the Warm-Up, now you''ll have to do 10 sit-ups, 10 squats, 10 push-ups then run 1km we''ll continue this for 3 years everyday to train your body so that you can wield a weapon after that" I think i''m going to become Saitama, but I still have to do his damned torture. Phew. I finally finished that and I even got a new stat from doing all that work, It''s called [Perseverance] : 1 [Allows the User to remove the limit of fatigue while doing an activity, when it ends the fatigue will come back]. Now it''s time for my training with Loindri my magic teacher, I hope he doesn''t torture me as well. "To start with everything, I''ll teach you [Mana Control], it''ll allows you to control your mana inside your body and if you reach an high-rank with the [Mana Control], you might even be able to make Mana go outside of your body, to strengthen your weapon for exemple" "So for the starter, you have to visualize Mana inside your body, like a fluid that goes through your whole body, you have to see the pattern of your Mana going through your body, how it goes, which way it takes" "When you knows the whole pattern, try to control your Mana inside your body by stopping it or changing his normal pattern. When you succeed in doing multiple times it means you control your Mana and succeeded in having [Mana Control]". After doing what he told me I heard the Robotic Voice {You Learned Mana Control : {Regular Achievement : Acknowledgement from a Teacher *2 Wait that''s an achievement? They should have an achievement from getting acknowledged as a teacher by me, but I''ll take this rewards use those Lottery Tickets on an Anime Banner, ''Lottery'' {Lottery : Regular Seven Deadly Sins Old Guy what''s the limit of the Banner, I mean it''s been some months and the banners are still here. Also do you have a way to pick a random number. [1. A banner changes every year normally And yeah, I do] Okay so between 1 and 2 which one do you choose. [2] Okay, Let''s draw on Naruto Banner {You Received : {Shadow Clone Technique : Uses Mana to create a clone of the User, those clones have the same appearance, clothes, weapons as the User at the time he used the skill, every clones have about 30% of the strength of the User but get destroyed by getting hit one time Mana Cost : 100/Clone then 10/Second Cast Time : 3 Seconds Old guy, I hate you but this time I like you. [I''m not Gay sorry] Forgot what I just said. I f*cking hate you. 3 Chapter 04 - He Scammed Me It''s been 3 Years since I started training. Today, I''ll finally be able to choose a weapon. As I left my room to go see Arfin, I saw a pile of weapon behind him. The moment he saw me, he said. "You''re finally here, Grimson. Today you''ll finally choose your weapon. I will only teach you about the weapon you chose here, meaning during the training you can''t change to another weapon." Old guy, I need to know which Weapon is the best? [Spear is the most efficient but there isn''t much High-Rank skill using Spear and Spear requires more training so it''s a bad choice.There is a lot of Bow/Sword skills in the World, so it might be better to choose between one of them. And the other weapons the amount of skill about them is almost nonexistant in the World. So the "Best" weapons are the Bow and the Sword.] Old guy, take your random machine again, between 1 and 2 [2] I hope I get some Bow skill after that. "Teacher Arfin, I want to pick the Bow", after hearing me saying that he looked at me with confused eyes, pretty sure he expected me to take a sword considering my status as [Hero]. "Are you sure? You can''t change weapon after that." "Yes, I''m sure." After hearing that, he sighed, took a bow from the pile of weapon and gave it to me. The moment I received the bow I heard the robotic voice. {Normal Bow : Bow made of regular wood and string. Damage +1 Old Guy, what''s this +1 Damage? It looks damn weak. [Are you stupid or something? It''s just that when you deal damage to someone they''ll take on more damage, and if you think that''s weak damage for the bows don''t forgot that the arrows also adds damage. And the Max Distance is just the farthest it can reach] Why did you tell me about the Distance I already knew that. [Because you''re stupid and I knew you would ask about it] If I have a function unlocker next time I''ll unlock the Mute Function if it ex- "Grimson, why do you keep staring into the void?" "Nothing, I was just thinking of something" Well that''s kind of embarassing, next time I shouldn''t be too immersed in arguing with the Old Guy. "Now listen, to use the bow as a beginner, first you have to get a good stance. Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart and the feet at 90 degrees from the target" "Which target?" "Just consider that I am the target. Then after getting the good stance, you have to grip the bow with a relaxed hand, if you tightly grip it, it will start to shake." It''s really annoying but there was a good point to his 10-hours long explanation. {You Learned Archery : {Secret Achievement : Choosing a Weapon Old guy how does the Skill Proficiency Multiplier stacks? does it adds or does it multiply? [It adds, so right now you have x3.5 Bow Skill Proficiency] I guess now I have god-like talent in bow right? [No, right now you gain even less Skill Proficiency than the [Archer Hero]] Why do you always shatter my dreams? I should go to teacher Loindri anyway, today is also the day he will test my affinity to elements too. When I arrived near Loindri''s place, I saw him waiting by the door. When he saw me, he rushed to me and gave me a small stone, when I received it I also got a message from the Robotic Voice {Affinity Stone (One-Time Use) : At the same I was reading, I heard the voice of Loindri "Inject Mana in the Stone. to show your affinity to Element" After hearing what he said, I decided to inject mana, I wanted to know my affinity too. After injecting my mana, a lot of colour started appearing : Red,Blue,Yellow,Orange,Black . . . But even though there was a lot of differents lights, every lights were dim. "It''s ... Full Affinity" was the first thing Loindri said. Old Guy. How come I have Affinity to every elements? [That''s something every people that owns the System have, the "Full Affinity" in fact refers to them. And if you wonder why your affinity with elements is of the lowest-rank, your affinity can be increased through lottery, Tasks, Items] {Regular Achievement : Teacher''s Worship They scammed me why the f* would they give me a Broken [Function Unlocker] and Hohoho, Loindri finally understood the greatness of Yours Truly. [You can fix it by using EXP or sacrificing item to it, they gave you a Broken [Function Unlocker] because a Teacher''s Worship isn''t that hard to get. Don''t worry, this Broken [Function Unlocker] doesn''t require the need of the Inventory Function because it''s not an actual item and to fix this Broken [Function Unlocker], You''ll need 5000 EXP or a DD-Rank Item] Can I use one of my created item for the sacrifice? [No, because it''s not an actual Item so the value will be that of an F-Rank no matter what is the rank of the created Item] I can''t scam this damned system but he can scam me? 4 Chapter 5 - You were so ugly! I guess I really have to get scammed, as I thought of Fixing this Broken [Function Unlocker] the voice finally started talking {Used 5000 EXP to fix Broken [Function Unlocker] Can you show me my ''Status''? {{Grimson EtherBlood Age : 3 Title : [Fake Hero] Level : 5 (0/3200) Exp : 63400 Class : ??? Health : 755 Mana : 835 Fatigue : 30 Special Condition : Kid (+25% Fatigue Gain, -50% Stat) Allocable Points : 0 Normal Stats : Vitality : 151 Strength : 145 Dexterity : 142 Agility : 165 Magic : 145 Wisdom : 167 Stamina : 156 Special Stats : Defence : 38 (1.6% Reduction) Luck : 2 Perseverance : 10 Damn, I''m strong, pretty sure I could kill the whole empire by myself. [1. I might''ve forgot to tell you but the Body/Magic Training Stat boost will be useless when your stats reaches 250 and after 100,000 EXP gained the EXP Boost will be useless 2. Right now your stats are a bit weaker than a Rank-F Adventurer, the Minimum for Rank-F being 200 minimum stats, even though it might feel strange about why it needs someone to be 20 times stronger to be an F-Rank Adventurer, it''s in fact logic, the monsters in this world have a minimum of 8 times stronger than a regular human for the weaker and those generally lives in groups ] What is this world dude, it feels like you sent me to the world of apocalypse [No this is the World of "Game-Like Fantasy"] Fuck you, after this little conversation with the Old guy I turned around to look at Loindri who still wore a shocked expression, I decided to just stare at him until he decided to say something. Some seconds after that he finally opened his mouth. "Grimson even though you owns "Full Affinity" you should choose one element to start with, I have mastery of the 5 Basic Elements : Wind, Fire, Water, Wood, Earth. I can only help you with one of them" "Teacher, could you basic explanation about the 5 Elements?" "Well I guess you''d need it to choose an element: Wind is the most versatile, it can cover all roles but it''s also the hardest to control and requires the most talent. It can even beat the other elements at their own roles Fire Focus on Power Water Focus on Healing Earth Focus on Defence Wood Focus on Power but it''s worse than Fire and Defence but it''s worse than Earth" Old Guy, if I take an element now will I have the Secret Achievement like the one for the bow ? [I can''t answer that, because it''s a question about a SECRET Achievement] If there really is an achievement for that then taking Wind Element should be better considering the need of talent to be better at it. "I choose Wind Element" {Special Achievement : Choosing an Element I fucking knew it. "Right, now I will teach you the basic of Wind . . . " A long talk about how to feel the wind and use it later . . {You learned Wind Mastery : Wait, I think I forgot something . . Oh fuck right my Function Unlocker. I want to use my Function Unlocker to unlock the [Task Function] I said [TASK Function] not [QUEST Function] stupid system [I think that''s my fault, in fact it was called Quest Function but I forgot the name and called it Task Function but I was too lazy to tell you] Can I have another god? [Nope, I''ll stay even if you kill yourself] Staying with you is worse than death though. {You Received a Quest : Create A Wind Spell. You now have knowledge about Wind, use it to create a spell, even if it is already existant, as long as it isn''t teached to you by someone it''s considered as created. Old Guy could you explain to me the Rank of Affinity? [Could you stop bothering this handsome man, but don''t worry I''m a nice guy so you see there is 6 rank to affinity, from the lowest to the highest: Lowest \u003e Low \u003e Medium \u003e High \u003e Top \u003e Perfect.

Then I remembered the word that if I could achieve High-Rank of Mana Control, I could strengthen my weapon with mana. So for days I decided to train my Mana-Control until I received a message from the System. {You Learned Mana Imbue : Imbue Mana in a Weapon to strenghten it Activation Cost : 50 Mana Cost : 15 Mana/S Cooldown Time : 1 Hour After having this skill, I then decided to put Wind Element into the mana I used to Imbue the weapon with, considering the fact that I train both Body and Magic, the best way for me to use magic at this moment is strengthening my body or my weapons. After a lot of attempts trying I got another message. {You Learned Wind Mana : Can Imbue Wind Element in Mana, When using Wind-Imbued Mana on a spell then the spell will get Wind Attribute.

Wait what? What''s this Golden Lottery Ticket? And what actually changed in the quest? [First . In the quest the spell that needs to be created now has to affect other peoples or things, like acceleration, damaging , strengthening. Stuff like that Second . Golden Lottery Ticket lets you roll the Lottery 5 Times on a Special Banner Third . Sometimes the Quest issued has some problems and when someone discovers the problem they are rewarded] Okay, I guess I''m such a Genius even "The One Above All" is impres- *RUMBLE* That was dangerous . . Anyway show me the lottery {Lottery : Regular Douluo Dalu 2 Huh? Why is the Seven Deadly Sins banner still here? [Because you need to draw once before a banner can disappear, if you use the golden ticket it''ll still draw 5 times but if even if you use 20 Lottery Tickets it''ll only draw once before disappearing] Okay so I guess I should put my Ticket on Seven Deadly Sins. {Lottery Results : Full Counter [Magic] (S-Rank) Spirit Spear Chastiefol (AA-Rank) Balor''s Magical Eye (B-Rank) Destroy Four Elements (SS-Rank) Reflect Magic Attacks with more than double the power of the attacks Cast Time : 0.5 Seconds Cooldown Time : 30 Minutes Damage + 125 Agility + 25 Dexterity + 15 Cooldown Reduction of Skills : 10% Spear of the King of Fairy, has multiple different forms Every Forms : Pillow: When not in battle, the Chastiefol remains in the form of a pillow.

Those stuffs are so fucking amazing 6 Chapter 7 - Fuck the Inventory But after thinking more about what I got, I grumbled and thought '' Fuck this [Inventory] Function, stealing my items'' [Even if you could access [Chastiefol] you''d still be unable to use it] ''Eh? Why is that?'' [Because [Chastiefol] is used with [Telepathy] and if you don''t use [Telepathy] it''s near impossible to use [Chastiefol], to learn [Telepathy] you need to train in the Mind Element but it''s too hard for the current you so you better not] First, ''Wind Mana'', after casting this "spell", it felt as if I lost a lot of energy and I started feeling a bit dizzy, until I felt a change in my Mana, with this I knew the "spell" was finished but I had to work fast or else I will run out of mana so only one thing went into my mind . ''Mana Imbue'', for the first try, before I could even react, the spell failed, after thinking for a bit I understood that the Wind element in the mana caused it to be even harder to control. So I decided to change my plans and first try to control the Wind Mana before trying to imbue it. Before I could remember the whole pattern, I passed out . . . The Next day, when I woke up, I saw Loindri and Arfin next to my bed. When they saw me waking up their expression changed to one of delight, but right after that Loindri looked at me with a serious expression before warning me. "Grimson, even if you''re the [Hero] and owns Full Affinity, you can still die or end up being in a coma if you use too much Mana, you''re still the [Hero] if you were to die or end up in a coma what could we do against the demon?" "Loindri is right, Grimson even though you''re young and talented, if you were to be too arrogant you''d be falling right into your doom" "Teachers, don''t worry, I know what I''m doing and look at what I can do now" I said, before I reached out for my Bow and decided to use ''Mana Imbue'', when Loindri saw the Mana-Imbued Bow he sighed before saying. "Grimson, even if your [Mana Control] reached the Peak, it doesn''t mean that you won''t face any side-effects if you were to run out of Mana." "Wait, Loindri, did you just say he reached the Peak of the [Mana Control]? When Arfin heard that he got a shocked expression and turned to look at Loindri who nodded, after this I heard the robotic voice {Regular Achievement : Teacher''s Worship Great, I can now unlock one Function between [Skills/Abilities Page] and [Inventory] but is it still 5000 EXP to fix this Broken [Function Unlocker] [Nope it''s 10000 EXP, this time, it''ll double everytime you have a new one] F*ck this just show me how much EXP I have.

After saying that I saw a map which showed the territory and the mansion of Uncle, after seeing that, I tried to look at what was around the territory but all I could see was black like there was nothing at this place. {The reason you can''t see is because you still have to go to these places or atleast near to have a clear map, you can also read Map in this world to unlock more zone in your own] Oh . . . that''s not as strong as I thought but I hope the Function I unlocked was good ''Status'' {Grimson EtherBlood Age : 3 Title : [Fake Hero] Level : 5 (0/3200) Exp : 43500 Class : ???

MAX) Skills : Holy shit, after the skills leveled up it felt as if the Mana was one of my arm, I then decided to play around for a bit with the Max-Level [Mana Control], after seeing what it could do I decided to try to finish my Wind spell. I first used [Wind Mana], before receiving a message. After that, the burden on my mana that came with the [Wind Mana] lowered a bit but I didn''t relax as I had only 200 Mana right now, I quickly tried to control the Wind Mana before receiving another message. Now I''m ready for the ''Farming'' like they say. I would now usually end [Wind Mana] some seconds before I ran out of mana and I would only try to control the Wind Mana during the time I used it. Ten Days After, Because of my Weakened Mana, Loindri and Arfin decided to I should take a break for 2 Weeks I finally leveled my [Wind Mana Control] up to Max Level and the Weakened Mana conditions was finally gone. I could now try to use [Mana Imbue] with [Wind Mana]. After trying I received the message from the system. {[Elemental Mana Imbue [LVL.0 (0/500)]: Use Elemental Mana to Imbue Weapon/Armor/Body to strengthen it.

I didn''t see them much when I was training so they''re quite distant with me but Joshua looks to resent me, from what I know it''s because he had Level 4 when I was born making him the most talented in the family, well that was until I was born. When I reached their courtyard, I saw them training. I first waved my hand then spoke "Hey, Elder Sisters and Brother", the first one to turn after hearing my voice is Aria, who looked at me with a surprised expression. "Hello, Grimson shouldn''t you be training right now?" "Well, I received a break so I decided to come here" When hearing my answer, Aria started wearing an expression of worry. "So, the rumors were true, Grimson, even though we didn''t talk much in 3 years, you''re still our brother so don''t do dangerous things like that again" "Wait everyone already knows about me passing out due to Mana Loss?" "Well yeah, everyone heard of the [Hero] passing out due to Mana Loss like an idiot" This time, it was Joshua, that answered to me with a bright smile on his face, probably due to the fact I actually passed out due to Mana Loss. "Joshua, stop being like that, Grimson, is still our brother. Anyway Grimson it was good to see you but we have to continue training" There she is my sister Sheena, the one with "Training is 99% Hard work and 1% Talent" as motto, I left after hearing that and decided to return to my courtyard to train [Elemental Mana Imbue] and [Armor/Weapon Creation] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Days Later - My [Elemental Mana Imbue] reached level 1 but I''m now stuck, to be able to level up, I''ll need more Elemental Mana and my [Armor/Weapon Creation] reached 2, every weapons now have a lifespan of 15 days and the minimum grade of a weapon is now FFF. This time, the training wasn''t as harsh as before, Arfin decided to do that because my body was trained for 3 Years and I now need more stamina to be able to train with the bow. Because my [Archery] already reached the 1st level, my actual skill with bow was better, when Arfin saw that, he just looked like he was already used to that, when he saw my "progress" with Bow, he came to me and asked if I wanted to take another weapon to train after I master the Bow, I oubviously took the Sword. After that, Loindri decided to teach me some Wind Spell, he first started with [Wind Bullet], the most basic kind of Wind Spell, Loindri decided to make me master [Wind Bullet] before going to the next spell and he would continue this cycle until I master nearly everything he can teach me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Continued for 5 Years, I was now 8 Years Old, I mastered nearly every kinds of weapon and I knew a lot of spell of the 5 Elements, because of this the skill and abilities page was simplified and the spell I learned from Loindri were just categorized in 5 differents skill [Wind Spell], [Fire Spell], [Water Spell], [Earth Spell], [Wood Spell], and every weapons I mastered were under [Weapons Mastery], those 6 Abilities all have ??? as Level but the Abilities inside them can be leveled like the [Archery] inside [Weapons Mastery]. My [Wind Mana Control] became [Elemental Mana Control], [Wind Mana] became [Elemental Mana], every of my skills with the name [Elemental] reached level 5, because of the mana required to use [Destroy Four Elements], I couldn''t train neither could I train [Full Counter] (Magic), because of the fact I needed someone to target me with magic and this would expose my trump cards, except those 2 skills I successfully reached Level Max with every other skills. I then reached the limit of the Body/Magic Training, every stats reached 250 and nothing could change it except the actual training from Arfin but that only gave me little points, I also reached the EXP limit. I also got the {Secret Achievement : Master The Basics Those tickets giving me 3 Draws in a Special Banner. My ''Status'' is now like that {Grimson EtherBlood Age : 8 Title : [Fake Hero] Level : 5 (0/3200) Exp : 81100 Class : ???

Skills : After obtaining the Silver Lottery Ticket I used them on the Douluo Dalu 2 Banner and received : -Spirit Eyes (S-Rank) -Summoning Card [Sea Sacred Pillar Guardian] (AAA-Rank) -Angel (CCC-Rank) [Spirit Eyes] and [Angel] are the first skills I received that could go up to [Level 100], but because of the needs of "QI" to train those skills, I couldn''t train them but I can still use them, [Spirit Eyes] show me the world but slower, at first I thought it was a slowing effect but actually I was just seeing the same scene but slower and I didn''t slow the whole thing. The [Angel] would just let me grow some wings and let me fly nothing interesting and the reason is not just because of the lack of level it''s because those 2 skills also requires something called [Soul Ring] that I can get only every 10th Level and I need to get them from killing Monster, the older the better, the rings have colors for their ages : 10 Y-O is White, 100 Y-O is Yellow, 1000 Y-O is Purple. 10000 Y-O is Black, 100000 Y-O is Red and 1000000 Y-O is Gold. But from what I learned from the memories is that I can also get [Souls], those are monsters that still have a body and can help me in battle, in those case those [Souls] also gives more than 1 Rings, but to have a [Soul], I''ll need a special chant and spiritual power. Finally, the Summoning Card, let me summon 7 person that have a skill at Level 90, they are called Titled Douluo. Now, after 8 Years of training. I''ll finally be able to fight monsters! And Just you wait [Shop]! 8 Chapter 9 - Great Way To Say Fuck You And with this, I also received a quest. {Quest : Kill Your First Monster You own a system, you can''t be allowed to lose against your first monster neither can you ask for help. Quest Reward : Beast Encyclopedia Function From what I know, we are going to the [Arjham Forest], next to [Ramri''s Territory], and the monster I''ll have to kill is a F-Rank [Giant Beetle], one of the strongest F-Rank, those usually lives alone and are very aggressive, even killing other [Giant Beetle]. While searching for a [Giant Beetle], Arfin and Loindri decided to teach me more about the World, they taught me about the various factions in the world, starting from the [Palace], the royal faction, it''s just the faction of the nobles, then the [Adventurer Guild], the faction of Adventurer, that''s where they get their ranks, mission and information but before they could teach me more, we heard a huge sound. Hearing this sound, Loindri''s and Arfin''s face showed a delighted expression and told me to get ready. "Grimson, there should be a [Giant Beetle] right next to us, so get prepared" Hearing that, I quickly imbued my bow with Wind element to launch the arrow faster and I also imbued some arrows with Fire element because [Giant Beetle] is weak against Fire. "We''re going to hide, if you think you''re not going to win then call us" Like I would, even if I die I won''t lose any of my skill. After Loindri and Arfin went into hiding, I waited a bit until I heard huge footsteps coming into my direction. ''There he is!'' I thought to myself before quickly aiming toward the direction the footsteps came from. The moment I saw the [Giant Beetle], I quickly shot the arrow, after that I quickly prepared a Fire spell, [Fireball], but to be sure I used the [Explosive Fireball] variant, when the [Fireball] exploded, and released a huge smoke wall. I quickly used my maxed [Armor/Weapon Creation] to create a EEE-Rank Spear using 400 mana, when the smoke disappeared, I saw the [Giant Beetle] rushing in my direction, I quickly put the Spear in front of me and stopped the imbuing on the bow and arrows, then I used [Tempest] on the spearhead, when the [Giant Beetle] reached the spearhead, I heard a huge screech then I blacked out, my fatigue reached a critical point and my mana was too low but I wasn''t in a dangerous zone so it was fine. When I woke up, I saw Loindri and Arfin shaking their head, before getting scolded by Arfin "Grimson, you''re too arrogant, if we weren''t here you would''ve died the moment you blacked out!" When I heard that, I got a bad feeling like I didn''t kill the [Giant Beetle] even when using all my skills. "Don''t tell me, I couldn''t kill it even with all I''ve did?" "No, you did kill the [Giant Beetle] but we were still in a forest so other Monsters would''ve been attracted by the blood of the [Giant Beetle]" Phew! I really thought I would''ve lost a random skill. "Anyway, Grimson, what was this Spear? We''ve never seen you use this? And what was that last wind spell you used on the spearhead?" F*ck, I should''ve thought of that, even though the smoke was still here before I used [Tempest] they would obviously be gone because of the strong Wind. "Teacher Loindri, the Spear was one of the creation I made from a skill and the Wind was from another skill they were given to me. I don''t know how but once when I was sleeping, I heard a message from something that told me that I was too weak and gave me those 2 skills" I hope he believes that. "Hmm . . . This might be the God giving you 2 skills to help you in your fight against the Demons" Oh, he really believed that, after this small talk they left the room. When they left I checked the Notification Function that I unlocked during the 5 Years of training. {You Killed [Giant Beetle] You Received : -10 World Coins {Quest Completed : Kill Your First Monster You own a system, you can''t be allowed to lose against your first monster neither can you ask for help. Uh? Why did I get this skill and why I didn''t get this earlier? [It''s because of how important the lie were, right now you created a Lie that led Loindri to think that these skills were given by the God due to you being [Hero], hiding the secret of the System] Fuck that, anyway what''s this Beast Encyclopedia Function. [Everytime you fight a monster it''ll be recorded in the Beast Encyclopedia, the more you fight with the same kind of monster the more information in the Beast Encyclopedia you''ll have. When the Information of a monster reaches 100%, there will even be some kind of health bar and names above the monster''s head and all of the weak points will be highlighted] Old Guy, there is something that I always wondered about you, What actually are you? You called yourself a "System" but the one telling me everything isn''t you but the other voice, if you were the "System" normally you''d be the one doing the notification. [I guess you''re right, I should explain a bit more. You see when I sacrificed myself to "The One Above All", my soul split into 2, one being the "System", losing all free will, then there is me, I kept all the memories and I have free will, in fact it''s better to call me the "Guide", the one that helps you using the "System] Phew ! I thought you were some kind of soul that fused with mine then would wait until I''m strong enough to steal all my strength. [I''m going to beat you up] Anyway now that I have money, I can finally look into the [Shop] {Shop : [Search] -Consummable -Armor -Weapon -Skills -Abilities When I opened the page of Consummable, I saw thousands of Items, I quickly gave up to look at every items so I just used the Search Button, and I tried to search for something that can be bought for 10 Coins or Less. {Search Criteria : [Less or Equal to 10 Coins] 1 Result : What a great way to say F*ck you. 9 Chapter 10 - I want to Act Tough! After resting for a bit, I left my room then went into Loindri''s room because he apparently needed me for something. When entering the room, I saw 3 persons , obviously Loindri, then there was Arfin and the last person looked quite old. "Ah there you are, Grimson, I would like to introduce to you a friend of mine who also happens to be a teacher of the greatest magic academy in the empire, his name is Muyen" My guts have bad feeling like i''ll have to go to this magic academy. "Nice to meet you, Senior Muyen, I am Grimson EtherBlood" better introduce myself and not directly question Loindri or it might offend this guy and if I really have to go to his school i''ll be dead. "Grimson, you might be wondering why Muyen is here right? Well, I''ll tell you, your talent in magic is one of the best in the world if not the best, right now if you stay with us, you''ll be nothing more than an unpolished gem, so the best way to make use of your talent is going to this academy" After Loindri finished his speech, Arfin quickly followed up. "But that doesn''t mean that you''ll have to give up weapon training, in the academy there is also weapon classes and like Loindri say, you have huge talent and staying here is just a waste of that talent" They are right, but that will also make harder for me to train my skills but I guess I have no choice so I just nodded to say that I understood what they were saying, Muyen looking satisfied at my answer then asked me "Grimson, do you want to directly enter with a recommandation or want to pass the test like other students." After thinking for a bit I decided on an answer. "I want to pass the test like other students." They seemed to be surprised at my answer before asking me a simple question "Why?". "Because if I were to pass with a recommandation, people might think of me as someone that was just lucky to get a recommandation with no real skill." I''m no pushover after all but Muyen hearing my answer just shook his head and told me that "The people entering with the recommandation are considered the "Cream of the crop" " "Oh . . then just give me a recommandation, sign me up for every classes and when does school starts?" "It starts in 2 Months, if you sign up for every class you''ll have nearly 0 free time so are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure, I want to learn everything" I mean all the teachers are giving me free skills who in their right mind would say no to those nice gifts. After returning to my room, I quickly decided on what to do for the 2 Months. In the end, I just decided to hunt for monsters until I had enough for the EE-Rank Body/Magic Training which will let me train up to 700 stat and give me 750.000 EXP but i''ll need atleast 50.000 World Coins for that. The next day I then started killing a lot of monsters until seeing that I wouldn''t make it, I started giving up until receiving a notification. {Body/Magic Training : {Quest : Get the Training To become the strongest, you need to finish what you first started. You can''t give up or else you''ll forever be a loser! During the Quest, a World Coin Loot Boost will be given Quest Rewards : Monster Function and 3 Luck Points Quest Failure : Lose 1 Random Skill After asking about the Monster Function, I learned that by killing monster, I would get some kind of remnant that would be stored in the System, when I have enough remnant of the same monster it''ll make a monster that I can summon, I can even extract skills from the Monsters that I own and if I''m lucky enough I can even get the whole monster just by killing one of them. I was so FUCKING determined after hearing this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Months Later, I fucking did it, I worked my ass off but I did it some days before the end of the limit and finally got the Monster Function and the 3 Luck Points, even though I finished my quest I still decided to continue hunting to get remnant and more money at the end I reached 65.000 World coins then I used 50000 to get my Training Method. But I can''t try them because I''ll be in a carriage for some days until I reach the capital of the city and find the [Royal Mage Academy], which is owned by the [Palace] and considered to be the best academy. While searching for the Academy, I accidently bumped into someone, so I just had to say "Sorry miss", Then I heard a nervous voice answering me "I-it was m-my fault", at first from the voice and the appearance I thought it was a girl until I saw a man walking toward us saying. "Oh, there you are Little Bro" oh so that was a boy . . . awkward, I just decided to excuse myself once more before asking where was the Academy. After reaching the Academy, I saw a huge group of people standing near the gates, after asking someone, apparently the day the classes started was also the day of the test, Huh . . Recommended people really have a lot of advantages, even starting school before others . . Wait what am I saying, starting school early is the worst! After thinking of that, I decided to do the Test for fun so I could know how strong was the people that could enter the academy and because the disguise were authorized. Before people could enter they needed to have their levels examined, after seeing the levels of some people, I decided to level up because Level 5 was the bare requirement to enter and this allowed me to know that if I wanted to continue being the fake [Hero] I needed to upgrade a bit. After seeing a bit more, I saw that the highest level seen was 10, considering the shocked look of the people when the level was shown , I knew that this was really high talent probably just below the level of Recommended people, I decided to go for level [15] because I should be even higher than those people. Reason I was so sure I could reach level 15 is because leveling up become easier when you near your prime and now the EXP required to level up from 5 to 6 was 1000 and it would only go up by 1.5x everytime I leveled up and the reason it cost so much before was because I was a newborn and the EXP was also used to make my body not explode from the strength of the level up. {Level up to 15! There wasn''t enough EXP. Level up to 14! Huh . . Fuck, is there a way for me to reach Level 15 before it''s my turn? [There is a way, you should buy a EXP pill in the shop, right now you''re short of about 23.000 EXP, for that the best way is to buy a 30.000 EXP Pill that cost 7500 World Coins but this isn''t worth it, do you really want to cost that much JUST to have a better level than the others?] Hmmm . . Exactly, I want to be like a certain person and act tough to have money so buy that thing! {Bought and Used a [30.000 EXP Pill]! Reached Level 15! Used 34.883 EXP! I can''t wait to see the faces of everyone when it''s my turn! 10 Chapter 11 - Giant Beetle ? Before it was my turn, I finally realized that the disguise I had was too bad and if in a fight someone were to destroy it, it would be easy to recognize me so I tried to search for an item in the shop that could hide my identity for 7500 World coins and I found one but I could only rent it for 10 days which was enough to do the whole test. After receiving it, I waited for no one to look at me before putting it on, in this crowd of people it would be hard to see if someone just left or someone appeared. I also searched for a nickname and I went for "Elther" because I was too lazy, much to the displeasure of the old guy. After a while, it was my turn, the one who held the [Appraisal Orb] just said the same thing. "Choose a nickname then place your hands on the Orb" "My nickname is Elther" Saying that, I just placed my hands on the orb. The staff members who looked at the numbers first went silent before screaming "LEVEL 15!!!" Hearing that, the crowd in the surrounding all showed a shocked expression and started crying different stuff, I even heard some strange things like "Marry Me!" but they would mostly talk about the fact I should be the [Hero], that I should normally have a recommandation with this talent, though my disguise looked like it was 11 Years old, if I told them my real age I bet some people would die of shock. I waited for the crowd to stop screaming until I just told to the staff members with a smirk "Can I, the [Hero] go now?", {Secret Achievement : Impersonating the Hero Wait what, why did I have the same Secret Achievement again? Didn''t you say that a Secret Achievement is unique and can''t be done multiple times? [It''s because there was a problem with the previous time, in fact last time your existence wasn''t shown to the world which was supposed to happen to have the achievement but your family didn''t do that. Now you''ve shown yourself to the others, even with a disguise you still showed a [Hero] to the person in the world and the reason why it''s called "Impersonating" is because there is an existing [Hero], though he isn''t known] Wait, you''re saying I scammed the System? So it was possible to do that ? Fuck Yeah! [How do I say that, in fact you see when your family decided not to show your existence to the world, your Hero''s Ring became inactive, meaning it couldn''t be used, now that you actually showed yourself as a [Hero] the Hero''s Ring became active again] This is fucked up. Anyway, I should ask someone what will be the next test. I went to a group of 3 peoples to ask them if they knew what would be our next test, though I expected them to be one of those Young Masters that will go ''How dare you speak to me, you country bumpkin'' . "Hey, do you guys know what will be our next test?" "Oh, that''s what we were talking about actually, from what we learned it''ll be a monster hunting in group of 6, if you want you can come with us" Wow, it wasn''t like what I expected, after hearing their proposition, I pondered, before just accepting because I know nobody here and I wouldn''t want to be with one of those Young Masters. "Yeah, why not, I should start by introducing my nickname , it''s just ''Elther'', I use the 5 basic elements and can use nearly every types of weapons but mainly use bow " "Okay, nice to meet you Elther, we shall introduce ourselves next, I am Soyd Maynred, I use the Fire, Wood Element and my weapon is the Mace" Soyd MaynRed is an average looking boy, he''s wearing an expansive looking outfit, he has Red hair and red eyes, looks like they were really lazy when choosing a last name. "The name''s Juit Fynnze, I use Shadow and Dagger" Juit Fynnze is a good-looking boy, he''s wearing black clothes, has black hair and black eyes, let''s take a guess and say that he likes the color black. "My name is Shyra, I''m from a hunter family, I use rapier and I have Ice element" Shyra is a cute girl, she''s wearing white clothes, she has brown hair and red-orange eyes but one thing shocked me in her introduction, the fact that she owns Ice element. Although I owned the Ice element because of the System , from what I heard the Ice element is even rarer than owning the 5 Basic Elements. "If you have Ice Element, shouldn''t you have a recommandation letter?" "Yes but I lack talent so I didn''t have a recommandation letter" After we introduced ourselves, we started searching for 2 more members. In the end, we found the 2 last members, one used Axe with Earth and Wood element, he was called Chris and was from a commoner family, he is a Robust man with burly brown hair and brown eyes, he is an under-average looking young man, Yes man because he is 14 Years old which is already the age where someone is called a man but he is still in the Young generation so it''s fine and the other one used the staff with Earth Element, it was a girl called Fyra from the Jiu family, she was a good-looking girl, she has blond hair and blue eyes. After a while, a person entered the room and yelled. "The next test will soon start . The test will be hunting in groups of 6, 5 [Giant Beetle]." Hearing that, the crowd burst out in anger. "WHAT, HOW CAN THEY DO THAT!?" one said. "THAT CAN''T BE ALLOWED, THEY ARE SENDING US TO DEATH" another one said. The staff member obviously annoyed just asked them to shut up or leave and told us to get prepared. Even people in the group started freaking out hearing which monster we had to hunt and the number of monsters we had to hunt but I just smiled because I already had a 100% Knowledge in my Beast Encyclopedia on the [Giant Beetle]. 11 Chapter 12 - Arrow In The Knee With this, I already knew the weakness of the [Giant Beetle] : The Knee. After getting prepared, each groups followed a special staff member to their respective area. Our group was assigned to an area with dense vegetation, this area was perfect for me because I could hide and just aim for the beetle''s knee with my bow. Obviously, we first devised a plan and we first decided to tell each other our level to be able to use them for the plan. In the end, I was obviously the one with the highest level then it was Juit and Fyra who are level 8, Soyd is level 7, Chris is level 6 and Shyra is level 5. We decided to have Fyra as the one defending, Juit would mainly attack, Chris and Soyd were supposed to help Fyra if she had problem, Shyra was to support the team using Ice magic and I had to use magic and my bow to shoot enemy. Well that was the plan until, we discovered the first [Giant Beetle] and I just killed him using a Bow that I created before I entered the school and an imbued Fire arrow, before the others could get into formation. So we just decided to make them defend while I just had to shoot arrow in their knees. The reason I tried to finish the quest that quick? Because I received a special quest. {Chain Quest : Be The Very Best [1] You''re the owner of a system, how can you be worse than others? Be the first to complete the first test! Quest Rewards : 15.000 EXP, Access to 2nd Quest Now that I completed this quest, I received the next part of the Quest. {Chain Quest : Be The Very Best [2] You''re the owner of a system, how can you be worse than others? Gets the most point Quest Rewards : 25.000 EXP, Access to 3rd Quest After a while, every groups finished or failed their tests. The staff members then announced the results. My group obviously placed first but in the group, every team members received 75 points whereas I received 100 points, as I predicted, some nobles of other groups started giving me the stink eye but I didn''t care because they were too fucking weak. After announcing the results, they announced what will the next test be, it''ll be a knowledge test about magic . . . I think i''ll lose my [Full Counter] but I can''t give up, considering the test will start the next day, I tried to study hard to get a skill like [Studying] maybe? In the end, my efforts paid off and I got the skill called [Advanced Memory] {You Received [Advanced Memory] (Level 0 0/1000) But after I received this skill, I felt something happening to my brain, something that felt very painful . . . too painful like the time I got my past lives memory, while I felt my brain exploding, I received a message from the Old guy. [It''s too soon! What did you do?! The only way to save you now is to separate your memories into multiple consciousness but it has hidden dangers so be careful, the process will start now!] After he said that, the feeling of pain suddenly stopped but it felt like I heard a lot of people speaking and it felt really uncomfortable. When I tried to search the reason , I received another notification from the System. {You Received [Sea Of Consciousness] : Well, those descriptions are as vague as ever and now when I tried to search for the voices, I felt like my body was transported into a strange place where I would see countless different person speaking. [Those are your past lives that transformed into different Consciousness] Wait . . does that mean I have schizophrenia? [No . . it''s like there was more me except that you could see them and they were you] But why are those person so blurry, well except certain person? [It''s hard to say, like the furthest you are from this certain life, the blurrier it is, like the one that isn''t talking to anyone is the clearest because he was your last life, when a consciousness is blurry, his/her memories are also blurry] Okay but wait . . What time is it? [Uuh . . You better run otherwise you''ll be late] OH FUCK! I quickly ran to the [Royal Mage Academy] and passed my test, unsurprisingly, I got 100 and I finished the Quest. I then got the 3rd Quest of the chain . {Chain Quest : Be The Very Best [3] You''re the owner of a system, how can you be worse than others? Be the first in the tournament. Quest Rewards : 50.000 EXP, Silver Lottery Ticket Oh so the last test is a tournament? What a cliche . . . Anyway, I just decided to help Juit, Soyd, Chris, Fyra and Shyra training. When I thought of that, I heard a voice in my head. "I say it''s a bad idea, you don''t even know them that well, they could just be huge bastard that acted like nice person" Who the fuck said that? "I''m you, one of your recent life, I was someone like you, very talented but too naive and ultimately, it caused my death, helping another is good but you should first know more about this person or at least make sure it can''t stab you in the back after that" Sigh . . let''s just make a vote, those who accept me helping me them in training put their hands up, the rest just don''t do anything. After that, in my sea of consciousness, I could see multiple person . . . not raising their hands. Well then, I won''t be helping them . . . 12 Chapter 13 - What The Fuck? Because it was already decided I wouldn''t help them train, I decided to train the skill proficiency of my [Advanced Memory] skill. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day, My efforts paid off, [Advanced Memory] reached the 2nd level and I memorized every books about the base of magic in the public library of the capital. It was the day of the tournament, it would just be a regular 1 on 1 tournament, right now there would be 64 person in the tournament and it''ll go down with every round. Right now, most of the people in the hall of the [Royal Mage Academy] weren''t exercising, warming up but they were . . . praying . . they all prayed to not get paired up with someone strong like the handsome me. I didn''t care much, I just decided to wait until they would give us the match list. I got paired up with a dude called "Jobe", he was level 7, but he dared to be arrogant saying things like "Ha . . what a stupid name "Elther", he should pray I''m in a good mood or I''ll beat him up". Good thing there was one spell I learned that would be useful in this case, the [Silence] Spell. The tournament started, I just decided to bet some of the money my Uncle gave me, obviously I decided to bet everything on me. It was finally the turn of my match, I and Jobe entered the "Rings", I just called them that because they just looked like Boxing Rings and also because I don''t know the real name of this thing. After we entered, I quickly used [Silence] spell on Jobe, and I then used Wood and Earth Element to trap him, we then entered the fun part, I imbued my Arms with Earth magic then I started to beat him up, I obviously avoided the "eggs" because I wasn''t a bastard and a man''s "eggs" are their most important things BUT I still decided to hit his face because I''m not a saint. In the end, I decided to stop because it''ll take too much mana otherwise but I still decided to say to him : "Sorry, I wasn''t in a good mood" with a grin on my face, though not sure he could''ve seen that considering how hard his face was beaten up. My next opponents just decided to surrender the fights, I eventually reached the finals. And against me was the guy with the Level 10, he uses a Spear and the rare Thunder element. Even though I saw that his pants was wet at a certain place, I must say he is being brave for not surrendering . I decided to honor his courage by not beating him up like Jobe, when we started fighting, I just understood one thing from how he fought, his Combat Experience is equal to shit, when I saw that, I just decided not to waste more time and just finish this fight, I spent an Explosive [Fireball] at his face but he decided to use a basic [Thundershock] spell on it, the good point if I must say, it did a pretty good Firework, the bad point is that, either he''s heavily injured or he''s dead. When the smoke from the explosion disappeared, I just saw him without any injuries with white foam coming out of his face due to fear, seeing that I screamed just one thing "WHAT THE FUCK?!" but after thinking more, he''s probably the son of a noble, he must owns some pretty good treasure and the reason his level is so high even though he''s pretty much shit at fighting is because he was helped in his monster fighting by some of his servants or bodyguards. Seeing that the smoke wasn''t completely gone, I started getting greedy and I might have stolen all of his treasure before kicking him out of the "Ring", waiting for the smoke to be gone, I started to think of a way to hide those treasures, I thought of how drugs was hided in some worlds by putting it in the ass but naah . . I decided to just sell some that seemed useless to rent an inventory, in the end I was left out with only 2 Treasures, they were : {Protective Necklace (D) [4 Uses] : Save the Owner from deadly attacks, {Recovering Ring : +50% Mana Regeneration +50% Health Regeneration The smoke was then completely gone and while the staff member was announcing the result of my win, I received a notification from my Completed quest but I also received another notification that told me that a Quest was completed that was strange . . {Chain Quest Completed : Be The Very Best [3] You''re the owner of a system, how can you be worse than others? Be the first in the tournament. {Secret Quest Completed : Chain Quest Complete a Chain Quest for the first time [Secret Quest are like Secret Achievement except that those concern nearly only the System and not the world where you''re living] With that I now own 2 Silver Lottery Tickets, I wish to use them in the Lottery {Lottery : - Regular - Tales of Zestiria I used the 2 Silver Lottery Tickets, 1 on Tales of Zestiria and the other on The Gamer. {Lottery Results (The Gamer) : Bow Mastery (A-Rank) Mana Regeneration (BBB-Rank) Gamer''s Mind (SSS-Rank) Lottery Results (Tales Of Zestiria) : Armatization (B-Rank) Armatization Pact (Lailah) {Bow Mastery (Level MAX) : +100% increase in attack damage with bows and arrows. {Mana Regeneration (Level 0 0/1250) : {Gamer''s Mind : {Armatization (Level 0 0/750) : When User and Seraph/ArchFiend access armatization, User will be in the form of Armatus. Activation Cost : None Mana Cost : 50/S CoolDown Time : None Cast Time : 10 Seconds While in Armatus : Elemental Damage while attacking (Depending on Seraph/ArchFiend own''s element) {Armatization Pact (Lailah) : {Squire Pact : Through a pact, another individual can gain 10% of the User''s power, the Squire is able to share thoughts and emotions over a long distance and if the User''s die, the Squire will also die but if the Squire die, the User doesn''t die. Mana Cost : None Cooldown Time : 365 Days Cast Time : 10 Minutes HOLY FUCK! Those skills are fucking amazing like 100% Increase in bows AND arrows damage? But how can I get access to other Seraph/Archfiend in this world. [By getting [Armatization], you got the ability to see Seraph/Archfiend, though you can''t force them to have them do the [Armatization] with you, neither can you try to manipulate their mind into giving their consent] Ah . . . Fuck, you know me too well. 13 Chapter 14 - That Was Cringe I was still thinking when I remembered I was still on the "Ring", just awkwardly standing still for no apparent reason, they must think of me as someone crazy . . It was kinda embarassing so I quickly left the "Ring". The staff members then announced the results and called the name of the people that would enter the [Royal Mage Academy], they would then get in a Class and a Section, of the 50 or so new students, there was Commoner, Hunter, Adventurer, Noble . . . , after they listed more than 20 names, I started seeing a pattern, each Commoner was sent into the 3rd Section. Hunter/Adventurer were sent into the 2nd Section and the Nobles were sent into the 1st Section. And they would then get sent into a Class that represents their actual talent and skill, [Class 1] Being the best and [Class 5] Being the worst. When it came to my turn, I was really surprised because they decided to send me into the . . 3rd Section, well I don''t actually care because I''m a recommanded person but it just shows how much a good background is also needed for this school. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Day - I removed the Rent of the Disguise and with my remaining World Coins, I decided to buy a Monster Corpse. I then quickly took my recommandation and went straight to the School, When I arrived there, the guards showed me a surprised expression and asked me "The School Started some days ago, why would you show up that late?" I already expected this question so I prepared a lie, I took out the Monster Corpse and then said. "A monster ambushed me when I was arriving to the capital, It destroyed my carriage, I had to come here by walking so I was late" He just nodded and told me where to go to get to my Room. While following his directions, I reached a place that looked particularly expensive, it seemed as if this was a Palace, in front of the huge gate that led to the "Palace", I saw some guards that looked really strong, they just looked at me expressionlessly then allowed me to go into the Palace''s Courtyard. There, I saw a huge number of people, I asked one of them where the Teacher''s Place was so I could know my Class and Section, the person I asked just looked at me incredulously and pointed at a direction, I then followed the road and found a mansion, I knocked and a beautiful woman opened the door "Yes, What is it?" she just asked me before frowning and asking "Who are you?", I just answered "I''m Grimson Etherblood, I came in late due to a monster Ambush, I came because I wanted to know what was my class and my Section", She told me to wait before closing the door, I just decided to stand there and wait but I started asking to the Old Guy what was the average Look in this world because every adults I saw until now was handsome/beautiful. [Your previous life''s world''s most handsome/beautiful person would just be average in this world, in here during Puberty, someone would grow more handsome/beautiful, that''s why even if someone was ugly while being a kid, he could become incredibly handsome after puberty, this world was made by a higher God that followed the path of Handsomeness] ''The Path of Handsomeness? Is there also a Path of Ugliness then?'' [Yeah, there is Path to Godhood for nearly everything, I followed the Path of Art, by using Art I could even break someone''s mind AND if you say something in the line "Oh, you''re so lazy, taking path of Art because your last name is Artfield", I''ll fucking fight you to death] When I was about to answer to the Old Guy, the door opened again showing an Old Man and the Woman, "Dean Loi, he''s the latecomer, what should we do about him?" Oh, a Dean, he must be coming here to welcome the awesome me. Dean Loi started inspecting me before saying. "Just send him to the Class 1, he was recommended by Vice-President Muyen so he must have some talent and potential" Oh, so he was the Vice-President . Great! I have a backing now. Though I still asked. "Sir, What''s my section?" hearing that, he was stunned then he started laughing and said while still laughing "HaHa, Student Grimson Haha, Recommanded People are all sent to the Section 0", I guess my question was stupid but why did he have to laugh damn it. He then gave me my timetable, while looking at it, I saw that I had a class in some minutes so I quickly went to the Management of the Section 0 to get my room, I quickly got my keys and just decided to take a Shower with Soap, Shower in this world was used with some Magic instrument, Magic Stone and Magic Sigils, the water was created using a Water stone, the water then became hot because of a Fire stone, after taking my shower, I quickly got prepared and rushed to my Class, it was time for some Sword Practicing. The teacher there just gave us the basic like how to grip the sword, making good use of the environment, the 8 Different angles of attack and how to block an attack. At the end of the class, we had to pratice against each other, some people though of trying to spar against me because in their eyes I was just the ''Unknown'', someone who could potentially be a pushover in front of them but I could also be way stronger than them so they didn''t dare directly asking to fight me, they just waited for someone to ask and see if I was indeed a pushover. I was paired with someone called "Joi", he was just a sword maniac, because I didn''t want to break his dreams of being a swordsman too hard, I just used the thing the teached teached us. We both held up our sword with our both hands, we bowed and then got prepared. "3 . . 2 . . 1 . . Go!". When I heard "Go", I quickly attacked his left, he parried, I then continued attacking while he continued parrying, at some point I saw an opening and quickly kicked him in the stomach, Joi was startled from this sudden change in my pattern, I then put the tip of my sword near his neck before saying "If that was a real fight, you would''ve already died" while walking away, I just thought that what I said was kind of cringe so I started walking away faster. 14 Chapter 15 - Capture The Flag After this Sword Class, I had to rush to my next class, the Staff Class, the same thing happened except that this time, I didn''t do something cringy like the Sword Class, the same thing happened until it was the end of the day. On my way back, I accidentally saw the scene of a boy asking a girl''s out, at first I didn''t care and just wanted to rush back to my appartments but I still looked at the scene because I wanted to see the boy getting a huge "NO" in his face. When I continued looking, I saw that the Girl had a lot of people around her, it was mainly boy, they all showed some deathly glares to the boy that dared to waste the time of their Goddess! Though, it seemed as if the Girl didn''t care much and just looked expressionless throughout the whole declaration, after the Boy finished talking she just said in a cold tone "No" and left. I personnally thought it was pretty funny seeing the Boy breaking down but I just left and asked one of the person that saw that scene who those 2 peoples were, "Hey fellow student, who were those 2 persons?" "You don''t know them? The Girl is one of the strongest recommanded person and also the most beautiful girl in the whole School but she is also the coldest, her name is Jeena, she is also the daughter of the High Priest, people decided to title her the name of "Heaven''s Chill". The Boy is a rather weak recommanded but he is one of the most handsome person, his name is Chid, his title is "Shadow Ghost" because of his affinity toward Ghost that makes him the stealthiest person here" "Thank you, dude", while I said that, I thought to myself, ''Those titles are fucking lame, I hope I won''t get one too, my cringe-o-meter already broke in Sword Class'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 Months Later - Every class were the same. receiving Guidance then sparring with others, I even became the star of the new recommanded but it bored because it never changed but today, it finally changed. I and other recommanded will go to a place called ''Airyu Point'' which is the place where we''ll have to do a trial that teachers have chosen, I wasn''t against it because I wanted to leave the School to actually fight and this would allow me to expand my map. When we reached ''Airyu Point'', we were asked to stop and a Teacher came with some kind of voice amplifier item, asking around it was called Magic Megaphone, I was kind of surprised when I heard this name because it came from my past lives, in the end, it was the Old Guy who cleared my Confusion. [The reason is that the creator might be a reincarnator that was reincarnated by one of the God Of Reincarnation because it was a reincarnator from Earth, it''s possible that it''s Truck-Kun that sent them here, the reason why most reincarnator come from Earth is that Earth is the basic template of World created by God and also the easiest to make, there might also be reincarnator in this world] After getting an answer, I then looked at the teacher with the megaphone who started talking "I will now announce what will be the trial, this time it''ll be the "Capture The Flag", I''ll now explain the rules : - You will be divided into 2 teams but if you''re in a group, you''re group will be in the same team as you - To get a point, you need to take the flag in the enemy team''s base and bring it back to your own base, when someone hold the flag, his mana will be sealed - You''re not allowed to kill, criple other people, obviously we can''t restrict you so we will allow you to injure your enemy as long as you don''t cause too much damage - The Trial will last 2 hours, the team with the most points will win" Hearing this, every students showed some expression, some were delighted, some were fearful. While I was kind of shocked, I mean this was more a game than a Trial but I also prayed to get a good team because considering the sheer number of people here, if I had bad teammate I would just be losing, I also received a quest that required me not to win but to score more points than the other. {Quest : Be the MVP Score more points than the other and become the MVP! Quest Rewards : Loot Function, 5000 World Coins [If you ask. the Loot Function. will actually allows you to get better reward by killing monster, right now you can only get World Coins by killing monster where as you''ll after be able to get EXP, Item even different version of the Lottery Ticket, the Lottery Ticket you got before was just the reward for killing the Giant Beetle Race for the first time] It feels as if I''m a stupid, retarded kid that needs to be tutored when you''re talking to me [Well you are it''s not ''as if''] Oh fuck it, I''ll just start preparing myself. While I was preparing myself, I saw a group of people coming toward me, I raised my head and saw it was Jeena and her group of fanboys and fangirls. Expressionless as ever, she just asked me a simple question "Do you want to join our team?", I started thinking about this, considering her status as the "Heaven''s Chill", it would probably be the best way to win considering the strongest people might want to join her side but I started wondering if Chid was in their team, because if he was, it might be harder to score point but if he wasn''t it might be even harder to finish the quest of getting points but because magic would be sealed after he took the flag, it might be better for me to be against him. I looked at her group and didn''t see Chid so I replied to her. "Yeah", she then gave me a bracelet that proved that I was part of her group and then just went around to look for more people for her group. Though, in the end the group was way too strong and the teacher decided to balance it out, luckily I wasn''t one of the person that had to leave the group, we were then assigned our team color. We were Light blue and the enemy was Dark Green, the reason is that the color represented the leader of both teams, Jeena was Light Blue-Haired and the other team leader was Dark-Green Haired and also someone as strong as Jeena. 15 Chapter 16 - New Stat! Both teams went to one side of the ''Airyu Point'', because the teachers changed the teams, they decided to give us more time to prepare. We choose a defensive strategy, the majority of our team were tasked to defend our flags while I and 4 other peoples had to steal the other team''s flag, this setting was even better for me . When it started, I quickly ran using the [Wind Steps] spell, when I reached their base, I decided to try to be stealthy, well for how it actually worked . . let''s just say it was a good opera, good high-pitched screaming. The worst part was when I reached out for the flag and I lost the effect of [Wind Steps], I then decided to stop holding the flag and first use Armor/Weapon Creation, I used it to create a full body armor, I then took the flag and was excited to find out the full body armor didn''t disappear. I then used my superior agility to run toward the base holding the flag, I actually met some trouble when I rushed back to the base, I saw another person holding a flag, the flag was Light Blue, when I saw this, I quickly rushed to him to knock him down because I didn''t want to waste time, I didn''t release the flag and I quickly used the flag to attack his head using the metal bar where the flag was attached. I used it like a Bo Staff and decided to use the Stabbing motion as it was the hardest to defend and the best way for me to damage him and knock him down in the fastest way possible. He was taken aback when he saw me using the metal bar to attack him and tried to parry the attack but it was useless because from what I saw, he never used a staff so he just took the hit and let go of the flag, I then continued running with 2 flags in my hand, I continued to meet trouble but I just continued to run because this would be a bad idea for me to attack them when they can use magic. I eventually reached my base and scored the first point, I checked my health and fatigue, they both were still in a safe zone so I decided to rest for a bit before rushing out, this time they looked prepared and so I didn''t use [Wind Steps], this time I decided to go in a more . . barbaric way? I created an armor made out of Earth and Wood element using the [Wood Wall] and [Earth Wall] directly on me, I then created a barrage of Timed [Fireball] which would be used the moment I decide I want them to be launched. Everytime someone from the Dark-Green tried to stop me, a [Fireball] would be rushing to their heads, Some tried to defend themselves using [Water Ball] one of the rare offensive skill of the Water element but most of them used another [Fireball] or some [Earth Wall] or even [Wood Wall], though the most impressive thing I saw was someone cutting my [Fireball] in 2 using [Wind Slash], unlucky for him, it was an [Explosive Fireball] and it was near him. After doing that, most of the Dark Green team''s members were out and could not stop me from taking their flags and getting them to my base. After 2 or 3 points scored, the Leader of their team finally came, he was called "Zeph" and his nickname was "Hell''s Fire", he had a special version of the Fire Element, also called "Hellfire", it was even stronger, apart from that he also had the Sound element but he mostly used the Hellfire because of his lack of talent in the Sound Element. When I saw him, I decided to release the flag I held because it would just be a burden, I saw him preparing a [Fireball], I didn''t dare to be careless because it was way stronger than a regular one, I could also make one but I already know the danger of doing that from what Loindri told me, some people might try those "Element Talent Stealing", although they never works some people believes it works and I might be targeted. I already know that having the 5 Basic Elements + 1 Special element is considered to be "Full Affinity". So to stop this fireball. I used a Fire Imbued [Earth Wall], although it got destroyed, it also stopped the [Fireball], during the time I tried to defend against his [Fireball], he already casted another spell [Flame Burst], a spell that would target a whole area, I already knew I couldn''t defend against this kind of spell so I quickly used [Wind Steps] on me to allow me to rush to fight him head-on, he already saw what I was doing so he casted a [Fire Wall] to stop me, I jumped over it using the modified [Wind Steps] that allowed me to jump higher, I still got hurt doing that but I gritted my teeth and rushed toward him, I then used earth wall on my hand to create some kind of Earth Gauntlets, I prepared a punch and when I reached a good range, I punched him on the face during his spell casting, which I thought was an Hellfire spell except that this time it was a Sound Spell a basic [Sound Ball] but because of it''s unexpected use it still confused me a lot but I still succeeded in punching him but the [Sound Ball] caused me too much mental burden especially since I was already but I tried my best not to faint, I succeded in not fainting, I took the flag that was nearly burned, people from my team saw the fight and decided to protect me until I reached the base, when I reached the base, I just decided to rest until the end and first checked my Notifications. {You Received [Pain Resistance] (Level 0 1000/2500) : {Special Stat Unlocked : Will Allow User to go through the limit of Mental Fatigue, Oh. . . FUCK! Was the last thing I thought of before passing out. 16 Chapter 17 - Using Monster Function When I woke up, I found myself on a bed, when I got up, I started looking around, there were rows of bed and there was a lot of person injured on them, I woke up in some kind of hospital. After that, I left the room and saw people waiting on chair, those were just slightly injured or not injured at all, I decided to just go back to the bed. Before I could go back to the bed, someone stopped me, it was Zeph, "Why are you stopping me?" Was what I said the moment I saw him, "I want a rematch, I''m sure I''ll be able to beat you!" This didn''t surprise me, from what I knew before, he was the kind that liked to fight people and would even challenge 2nd Year. "Hmm . . Let''s have a rematch after we get back to school", After hearing that Zeph nodded and finally left me alone, I accepted his fight because I wanted to see if I could EXP by defeating someone in a fight or I needed to kill someone now that I have the [Loot Function]. After everyone recovered, the teacher told us that we would stay in the city for some days because there is a dungeon that appeared and they decided to make us go to the dungeon with some High-Ranked Adventurer. Hearing that, I got some kind of death flag appearing in my head so I asked a teacher if there wasn''t any risk, he just answered by saying that there is no risk considering the one that will come with us will be the Top-Ranked Adventurer of [Airyu Point]. Because the trip to the Dungeon would be 4 Days Later, I decided to quickly become stronger by hunting monster, near [Airyu Point] was a Forest, it was a Rank-F Dungeon, meaning the strongest monster there was Rank-F, I also fused all of my remnants of [Giant Beetle] to make some monster, using all my remnants I got 3 [Giant Beetle], I also got their status, they all had identical status except for a skill, they all had a "Unique Skills". {Giant Beetle Level : 1 (0/1000) EXP : 0 Health : 1750 Mana : None Fatigue : 0 Special Condition : No Mana Heart (Can''t have Mana) Allocable Points : 0 Stats : Vitality : 350 Strength : 300 Dexterity : 200 Agility : 175 Magic : 0 Wisdom : 0 Stamina : 300 Special Stats : Defence : 325 (16.2% Reduction) Abilities : [Pain Resistance] (Level 1 0/5000), Bare-Handed Fighting (Level 2 0/750), Dung Eating (Level 0 0/5000) Skills : One of the Beetle had [Dung Re-Creation], one had [Beetle Strength] and the last one had a unique Ability called [Hard-Working], {Charge : Charge at a target with great speed. {Dung Eating : Can eat Dung without problem, {Bare-Handed Fighting : {Dung Re-Creation : Can Re-Create any Dung the User ate. Mana Cost : Dependant on the Dung Cooldown Time : 30 Seconds {Beetle''s Strength : When Used +50% Strength for 30 Seconds {Hard-Working : Charge was the first skill that would give fatigue I''ve seen for the moment, The Unique Ability [Hard-Working] seemed incredible but what intrigued me the most is the EXP required to raise the level of [Dung Eating], the actual Skill Description and also the Unique Ability [Dung Re-Creation] that required mana for a monster that didn''t have a Mana Heart, after asking the Old Guy, he told me that the Monster I own could evolve and could then grow up the Mana Heart required or I could buy a Mana Heart in the shop. To see the effect of [Dung Eating], I searched in the forest a Dung and when I saw one, I let one of the [Giant Beetle] eat it, I then checked his status, the [Giant Beetle] that ate the Dung got EXP and got 0.1 Strength Stat the skill amazed me but I still wondered how could a monster having this Cheat skill was so weak and as usual the Old Guy came to help me. [The reason they are still so weak is because they have inborn limit and if they break the limit their body destroy, there was some [Giant Beetle] that broke the limit, those became S-Rank Monster in this world but they are super rare occurence, don''t worry there is no limit to the body of your [Giant Beetle] because their bodies were created using the System Power] After that, I decided to change my plan, I decided to first extract Skills from the [Giant Beetle], I got [Hard-Working], [Dung Eating] and [Charge], even though the [Dung Eating] skill was amazing, I didn''t want to eat a Dung, the worst thing was that after getting [Dung Eating], the Dung actually looked kind of . . appetizing? Having this thought, I quickly gave an order to the [Giant Beetle], they were to eat every Dung they see so that I don''t accidentally eat it, because I knew it would be hard to recognize them if I just called them [Giant Beetle], I gave them nickname, the Beetle with [Hard-Working] was [Working Beetle], the one with [Beetle''s Strength] was [Strength Battle] and the one with [Dung Re-Creation] was [Re-Creation Beetle]. [That''s some shitty name] ''Fuck You'' was what I said to the Old Guy after he said that, after that, I searched for some monsters, the first monster I''ve seen was some kind of fox but had abnormally huge teeth, from what I know it was a [Iron-Teeth Fox], their main attack was [Bite], they weren''t really dangerous but were really agile and only their [Bite] had strong power so I decided to first trap it using [Wood Entrapment], the moment it moved it was trapped in wood branch, I then Used [Combustion] to burn everything. {Loot Received : - 1 Lottery Ticket - 5 World Coins - 500 EXP Because of the lacking World Coins it gave, I decided to just get 1 Iron-Teeth Fox as a Pet because it didn''t require much Remnant anyway, after that I would search for better monster. After 5 Hours, I got 1 Iron-Teeth Fox, {Iron-Teeth Fox Level 1 (0/1000) EXP : 0 Health : 800 Mana : None Fatigue : 0 Special Condition : No Mana Heart (Can''t Have Mana) Allocable Point : 0 Stats : Vitality : 160 Strength : 200 Dexterity : 225 Agility : 300 Magic : 0 Wisdom : 0 Stamina : 150 Special Stat : Defence : 155 (7.7) Abilities : Parkour (Level 0 0/500), Strong Jaw (Level 1 0/1200) Skills : Bite (Level 2 0/1000) Unique Abilities : {Parkour : {Strong Jaw : {Bite : {Lone Wolf : After looking at the Skill, the one that interested me the most was the [Parkour] then it was [Lone Wolf], but there was no use praying, everything came down to luck. After looking at the Skill I got, my expression quickly changed. 17 Chapter 18 - Flag Raising The reason my expression changed was because I got the skill I wanted, [Parkour], when I saw this, I decided to try, when I started going from tree to tree, it felt as if I was a god damn monkey but it was really useful if I wanted to hide or escape at least. I then tried to summon the [Iron-Teeth Fox] but the System quickly stopped me with a message Actually, it didn''t surprise me because it seemed as if the [Monster] Fonction was too strong if there was no limit but I still asked the Old Guy how to upgrade the limit. [There is 2 ways : - Level Up ??????????????????] When he was about to tell me the second ways, his voice started to say some random things, it was like the time where I asked about the skill ranks in the world, it just show that I''m not qualified to know about the information for the moment. After thinking a bit more about the 2nd Way to upgrade the summon limit, I thought that maybe it was a Function that allowed me to upgrade Other function, having no [Function Unlocker], I couldn''t try to see if it was true so I just returned to hunting monsters, the Lottery Ticket seemed way too rare even with the [Loot Function] so I decided to search for new monsters to kill . I eventually killed 4 new kind of Monster, I now had 6 Lottery Tickets, even though in the 6 Months, I tried to get the Teacher''s Acknowledgement at the very least, I didn''t succeed so I got no Lottery Ticket from them. Because The Gamer Lottery seemed super strong, I tried to use all of my Lottery Tickets on it before it vanished although it will eventually come back from what Old Guy said. {Lottery Results : - Detect BloodLust (Rank-A) - Lowest Grade Recovery Potion [Recipe] (Rank-D) {Detect Bloodlust (Level 0 0/5000) : {Lowest Grade Recovery Potion [Recipe] : {Spinning Mana Arrow (Level 0 0/500) : A long distance attack skill with increased piercing power by adding a strong spin to a mana arrow. Current Amount of Arrow Created : 1 Mana Cost : 50 Cooldown Time : 10 Seconds Although [Detect Bloodlust] is awesome, the 2 other things kind of disappoint me, [Spinning Mana Arrow] looks like a Low-Ranked Wind Spell but it might get better with the level especially with the "Current Amount of Arrow" meaning it could create even more arrow when I have it at a higher level. Before judging the Recovery Potion Recipe, I used it and information started appearing in my head, The ingredients used were not rare but the process seemed difficult before trying to make the potion I first started looking for a way to get a Crafting-Type of Skill by searching in the [Shop] first. Looking in the [Shop], the skill cost too much so I decided to wait to get back to the Capital before searching for someone who could teach me alchemy but I could eventually try to learn every kind of Crafting so that I don''t need anyone to do it for me. But Before that, I had to go to the trip in the Dungeon with the School, I decided to use my EXP to level up {Used 57.665 EXP. Reached Level 16. Used 86.497 EXP. Reached Level 17 My [Status] now looked like that. {Name : Grimson EtherBlood Age : 8 Level 17 (0/129.746) Class : ???

When I saw the people that had to be with us in the Dungeon, even more flag started raising in my head, everyone in my [Sea of Consciousness] told me that they were a huge risk and I had to get prepared to run. I already knew that no matter what I did we would still go inside, I decided to still prepare myself by creating a Bow using my [Armor/Weapon Creation], now that I''ve leveled the Skill to the Max, the Lifespan of the creation was bigger and the Cooldown was lower, I created a Rank-D Bow, in the creation of the Bow what I prefered was the ability to do damage so the speed of shooting was lower because of the required strength to use the bow. In fact, I didn''t even enter the Dungeon, I sent a Shadow Clone that I had created a while ago, I just needed an excuse to leave for a bit, before leaving for the Dungeon, I purposely didn''t take the Armor so that I could fake the fact that I forgot it and that I wanted to take it. The Teacher at first just told me that I didn''t need the armor but I insisted and he finally accepted to let me get it back. 18 Chapter 19 - I Was Righ I''ve also sent the Shadow Clone because when I reached the Level MAX, I got the ability to see what the Clone saw and could use it as a vessel but it would still get easily destroyed so I tried to be very careful when I controlled the Clone. The Dungeon was very dark so we had to use a regular [Torch] spell to light the place. My [Detect Bloodlust] quickly activated by sending me a Notification through the System, though the Bloodlust quickly disappeared because someone killed it, [Detect Bloodlust] kept sending me notification, but one of the Notification made me give a bad feeling. Because one of the person behind me was one of the Top-Ranked Adventurer, when I felt that, I started to get even more prepared, using my Real Body, I went to hiding in a tree in the forest with the [Giant Beetle] protecting me and went back to controlling the clone. The Dungeon seemed like some kind of Cave, and the monsters inside were the [Goblin], when the group reached a huge room, a huge scream echoed and a huge monster started appearing, it was an [High-Orc], when he appeared, every [Goblins] started kneeling as if they saw a God that came to save them. The [High-Orc] roared and rushed toward us, using his huge mace, he started attacking us, at this moment everyone in the school group thought that the attack would be stopped by the Top-Rank Adventurers group but I didn''t believe that. I already knew they had a reason for coming with us in this trip so I took a weapon in the hand of one of my classmate, used [Tempest] on it, used [Armatization] with the Armatization Card of Lailah, after the Armatization, The Weapon I took, my Hair and my clothes started changing, the weapon became a sword my hair grew and became yellow, my clothes changed into a white and red clothes. I tried to block the Mace coming toward us, when I used the Sword, a huge kind of Fire Wave started appearing with the weapon, with a swing of the Sword, the Mace started slowing down but it wasn''t enough so I continued until it stopped. I wasn''t finished with that so I quickly yelled at a teacher "USE YOUR STRONGEST SPELL ON ME", without thinking the Teacher quickly used a High-Rank Spell that targeted me. I then used [Full Counter (Magic)] and sent it back toward the [High-Orc], I also charged with the Shadow Clone toward it, I imbued my arms with Wind to be able to attack faster. In the end, I was about to lose all my mana but he already got damaged by a lot so my job was done and they had to finish the Monster but what happened next surprised me. The Adventurers killed the [High-Orc] but before anyone could cheer, an adventurer used an Immobilizing spell on everyone then they went toward my shadow clone before knocking it unconscious, before they could knock the Clone unconscious I said one thing "I WAS FUCKING RIGHT!" I decided not to recall the Clone to know about who did this and why. But I still had to search for a way to get mana or else the Clone will disappear on its own due to lack of Mana. I first looked at the notification I got after the Death of the [High-Orc] {You Assisted In Killing [High-Orc] (80%) : - 1 Lottery Ticket - 1000 World Coins - 10000 EXP {Killing a Monster 4 Ranks Higher Than You : {Secret Achievement : World-Breaking Battle Power {Getting a Skill Lottery Ticket : I guess Skill Lottery Ticket is one of the special Kind of Lottery Ticket the Old Guy told me about. Though 2 [Function Unlocker] and 2 [Silver Lottery Tickets] are good as fuck, I must think about what to get with them, with the [Function Unlocker], I should first Unlock the [Inventory] and then I searched for a Function that could allow me to upgrade my Function, after a bit of searching, I found the [Upgrade] Function that would allow me to do that. Unlocking the 2 Functions, I received a new notification for a completed Quest {Secret Quest : Function Unlocking [1] Unlock 11 Functions After Unlocking the [Inventory], I took out the [Hero''s Ring] and [Balor''s Magical Eye] then put the Ring on my finger and because the [Balor''s Magical Eye] was an earring, I had to pierce mine, after equipping both, I started looking at the [Trash Function], it was a Function that allowed me to destroy Skills/Abilities, Items, Monsters and even other Functions to get [Essence], [Essence] could be used to trade with World Coins, Skill Proficiency and could be used in the [Upgrade] Function. In the [Upgrade] Function, I could upgrade Skills, Abilities, Monster and Other Function using Essence or rare materials. Because I unlocked the [Upgrade] Function, I got a Free Use that could be used to upgrade anything but could only be used once. I first tried to upgrade the System because MAYBE it''ll work but it didn''t this time, so I tried to be more rational and decided to upgrade something that I know would be useful so I upgraded the [Monster] Function. The Summoning Limit then became 5 and I had the ability to extract 2 Skills from a monster but only one monster of Each kind could have 2 skills Extracted the others could only have 1 skill extracted. I then decided to destroy some things that seemed useless, I didn''t destroy [Dung Eating] because it could be useful if I were to upgrade it maybe I could get a way to get the bonus without eating the Dung or maybe if it was a Dung made by [Dung Re-Creation] it won''t be as disgusting as it is. {Destroyed : [Charge], 2 Shoes, Apple, [Body/Magic Training] (Rank-FF). Received : 10 Essences was too low for what I needed, [Dung Eating] required 1.000 Essences to upgrade and [Lottery], the function requiring the lowest amount of Essence needed 2.500 Essences. I then used the Skill Lottery Ticket {Lottery Results : {Disguise (Level 0 0/750) : Ability to Disguise as something/someone else, can be seen through by someone having a way higher Magic, The spell doesn''t cost Mana to maintain but cost a lot to make. Mana Cost : 1000 Cooldown Time : None Looking at the Skill I received, I smiled, this skill was perfect for me because I needed to fake myself being kidnapped or else I might get targeted by the same guys that took my Clone or I might have unwanted fame. 19 Chapter 20 - Lets Cook After we talked for a bit in my [Sea Of Consciousness] me and the past me decided the appearance of our [Disguise], it would be a Silver-Haired with Blue-Eyes Handsome Boy and our new identity was "Declan", an orphan from an Hunter family. First in my plan of getting every Crafting-Type Skill was [Cooking], although it seemed as if it could only allow me to make some tasty food, in fact at higher levels it could even make me stronger by giving me temporary or permanent stat boost, well that''s what the Old Guy said, although I don''t believe him, I still think it''s a must have considering that I have a fake identity now. During the time I searched for ingredients, I inspected dozens or so plants and got a new Ability {You Received Inspection (Level 0 0/1000) : Ability to Inspect an Item) Although it didn''t look really useful, it was some kind of Low-Rank [Appraisal], when I inspected for tens of second an item, I would then have a window opening in front of my eyes that would tell me more information about what I was looking at, I used this Ability to see if something was poisonous or not. Everything was ranked with Stars, in the forest I only saw 1 Star Plant but while I was searching for plant, I found a new monster, at first I thought it was a [Rose-Scale Snake], a Rank-F Monster but when I approched it, I found out that the Pink Snake were a bit darker, at this moment I quickly ran because it was in fact the [Dark-Scale Snake], a Snake that would actually look alike a [Rose-Scale Snake] if not for their Scale being a bit darker and also a Rank-E Monster. Although I knew he could kill me especially with my lack of Mana, I didn''t run away because I knew that this forest remained an F-Rank one and that there must be a reason that this Snake came here, one of the main reason I could find was the fact that he got attracted by the scent of a Better Plant, this was one of the specialty of this species, it could track a Better Plant from Kilometers away. Thing is that the [Dark-Scale Snake] remains a Snake, it couldn''t climb the trees so I used my [Parkour] Ability to climb the trees and try to find the Plant that attracted him by following him, reason is that his instinct will make him follow the scent of the Plant and forget about me, if he still try to attack me it means that he already ate the Plant and I''ll just give up. I''m really lucky because he actually didn''t eat the Plant and was still following its scent, I followed him for some Meters until he reached a plant and started closely inspecting it, when I saw him doing that, I quickly went near the plant and waited for an opening which was the moment he started opening his mouth because it was the moment where I would be in a zone where he couldn''t see and he would feel something wrong only when he would close his mouth, I also decided to throw some poisoned plant, he won''t be able to feel the poison but it would also delay the moment he understood something was wrong. Obviously, I didn''t keep the Plant in my hand because it could just track the scent, I sent the Plant in my [Inventory], I then went back to the City to get some [Mana Potion] to keep my Clone alive. When I got the [Mana Potion], I thought about another problem with my identity, It was the lack of money and also the fact that I lack a house right now. For the Money, I decided to become an Adventurer and go through the [Training Camp], this will delay the moment I''ll need to take care of the Money. After drinking the [Mana Potion], I took out the Plant and started inspecting It {Mana Augmenting Plant 3¡ï It was perfect for the Problem I had but I think it should be better to wait for me to learn something like [Alchemy] to have better effects, I''ll keep it and use it if I''m really in need of Mana. Because I didn''t want to give up trying to get the [Cooking] Ability, I decided to buy a Fishing Rod, some Bait and a Net then go to the Lake near the [Airyu Point], I decided to do that because I might get [Fishing] at the same time, so it could kill 2 Birds with 1 Stone, I fished dozens of fish before getting the [Fishing] Skill after getting it, I decided to try cooking. I decided to do Roasted Fish after making 2-3 Roasted Fish, I got the [Cooking] Ability and after cooking everything, my [Cooking] leveled up. With this in mind, I decided to go to the [Adventurer Guild] to sign up for the [Training Camp]. When I reached the Guild, I saw a long Line because I didn''t want to get banned THAT quickly, I had to line up when It was my turn, the receptionist just looked at me with a smile, seeing that, I quickly told the reason of why I came here. "Hello, I would like to sign up for the [Training Camp]" The Receptionist then told me to wait a bit before coming back with a form. "If mister want to sign up for the [Training Camp], you''ll need to fill this form and then you''ll have to pass a Test" she then proceeded to give me the form, I completed it and then gave it to her. "Mister Declan, your Test will be tomorrow when the sun rises" I hope they have some Healing mage ready to save the person testing me. [They should also get some Healing Mage to save your brain, but it might be already dead anyway] Fuck You! 20 Chapter 21 - Another Cliche? After signing up for the [Training Camp], I went to an Inn to get a room, I then searched for a Skill that would let me Sleep for less time, I eventually found it but it would cost like 25.000 World Coins so I had to continue kill monster before being able to buy that. Because it was already night time I decided to just stay in the Inn and look at what is happening with the Clone, when I looked, I was still being carried away, my arms were tied up, I decided to wait, we eventually reached some sort of City, they then took me to a place that looked like some sort of Palace, when we reached this place, the people that took me to here started kneeling and talked to the person on the throne. "Your Highness, we got the person you asked for", I stayed expressionless and started thinking for why they would send me here but before I could find a reason, the "Highness" started talking. "You can now leave and get your rewards with the treasurer", he then started looking at me, he came down his throne and started talking to me. "[Hero], I hope you could protect us, Demons." What he said surprised me but it also confused me. "How could I protect you right now and shouldn''t you be trying to kill me considering that I''m the [Hero], the mortal enemy of Demons?" After he heard that, he showed a bitter smile before sighing and answering my question. "Killing you would be pointless, we, Demons already know that there is another [Hero] in the Human Palace and us killing you would trigger the wrath of the Human and they would find a reason to finally exterminate us without incurring the wrath of our God. So the only way for us to defend ourselves is to find ourselves a [Hero], so us, Demons, ask . . no . . Beg you to help us" Saying that, he started kneeling, at this point this didn''t surprise me because I felt that this was too cliche but after thinking for a while, I received a Notification. {Quest : Choose A Path The Demon King beg for you to become the [Hero] of the Demon Race, will you accept this or will you refuse this? Quest Rewards : Dependant On The Answer With the apparition of this quest, I pondered even more and decided to answer him. "Before I choose to help you or not, I wish to visit your kingdom" Although my family was Human, I didn''t have any feelings toward them and I would still need to see the character of those Demons and I could compare them to Humans using my true Body and my Clone. After Hearing my request, he nodded and opened the gate for me to leave the Palace, looking at the lively city, the kids playing and laughing, the adults talking, my impression of Demons started changing, I then continued visiting the city, although I didn''t have any [Disguise] on, they didn''t give me any strange look, talking behind my back, some kids even invited me to come play with them but I still didn''t decide to choose to become their [Hero] because that could''ve been something that was acted by the Demon King so I decided to also make a Fake Identity with [Disguise]. I disguised myself as a Red-Haired ~10 Year Old Kid and chose the name "Donovan", although my Clone had half of my current vitality, he still needed a lot of mana so I decided to first remove my [Disguise] and went back to the Palace to ask the Demon King for money and [Mana Potion]. After getting them, I then officially left, my first idea was to get into an Academy, after asking some people, I got to the School but it was closed so I just decided to get to the Inn with my clone. Before sleeping, I thought that this would be hard if I had to switch between my True Body and my Clone everytime so I tried to control both of them at the same time after minutes or so of trying I got the Ability to use it {You Received : Consciousness Splitting (Level 0 0/1000) : Another Problem I found was the fact that when sleeping I could probably not get enough Mana to maintain the clone, I only thought of one way, it was upgrading the [Shadow Clone Technique], to upgrade the [Shadow Clone Technique], it would cost me 250 Essences, I started thinking about what to destroy, I thought of [Mana Control], [Elemental Mana] and [Elemental Mana Control] because it could be easy to get them back, removing them gave me enough Essence to upgrade the [Shadow Clone Technique], I then got a window that asked me what to choose. {Upgrading Shadow Clone Technique, Choose 1 : - Hibernate : When Used, the Clone doesn''t cost Mana to maintain but it can''t act. Although [Unleash] seemed good, [Hibernate] was the best way for what I needed for the moment until I would have [Mana Regeneration] to a good level where I would regenerate more Mana than I would lose. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day - It was still some time before the Rise of the Sun, I woke up earlier so that I could get back my [Mana Control], my [Elemental Mana Control] and my [Elemental Mana], although I couldn''t bring them back to the Max Level, they were at a sufficient Level for the moment. I then rushed to the [Adventurer Guild], when I arrived there, I had to go to a room where someone would test me, the one testing me was a Tall and Brawny Man. When the test started, he quickly rushed toward me with high speed, to counter him, I used an [Earth Wall] and a [Wood Wall], at this point I was already in a bad Position because he was a Warrior-Type Fighter which was a kind I never fought, when he destroyed the [Earth Wall] and was ready to destroy the [Wood Wall], I used [Combustion] on the [Wood Wall] then sent an [Earth Hammer] to stun him for a bit, after that I quickly rushed to the opposite direction of him and prepared to use the first Piercing spell that came into my mind, [Spinning Mana Arrow], I used it repeatedly, gradually some arrows started appearing, . . 2 arrows . . 3 arrows. Then the smoke gradually disappeared, I saw him clothes tattered and with some blood, he was laughing . . "HaHa! I didn''t expect such a Good Seedling to appear here to join the [Training Camp]! Declan, is it? Well Kid, you pass the test!" After that, he gave me a plate that would prove that I passed the test and the days of when the [Training Camp] Started, it was in a few weeks so I decided to take this time to learn Crafting and get some money. 21 Chapter 22 - Flesh Eating And my plan to do that was to join the [Craft and Art Academy] in the Demon Territory using my Clone. When I reached the academy, I saw that there wasn''t any person guarding the gate so I just entered, I met some student when I was searching for a place where I needed to enroll, they were nice and helped me, at least it was better than the people in the [Royal Mage Academy] that wouldn''t talk to people that weren''t in their own group. I entered the office where I saw the Supervisor of the Academy where I asked if I could enroll to the Academy, to my surprise, it was really easy, I just had to fill in a form and pay then I could join, after paying they asked me which class I wanted to join, I didn''t try to see what I could choose, I just asked for everything after all in the Art-Type Skill there might be some interesting effect. After that, he gave me a key to my room and I just left his office, after that, I just decided to continue re-training all the skill I sent to trash, then I would send them back to trash and do the whole process a lot of time until I got a lot of Essences, I mean that''s quite a scam if I could just do this until it was the end. But after getting 7.250 Essences, I was told that [Mana Control], [Elemental Mana] and [Elemental Mana Control] couldn''t give me any more Essence, I guess every skill can only give up to 2.500 Essences. With this, I also got the [Mana Regeneration] to 4, I now had a better regeneration than consumption but my Mana could still get easily consumed during a fight. I used 1.000 Essence to Upgrade the [Dung Eating]. {Upgrading [Dung Eating], Choose 1 : - Evolve to [Flesh Eating] but efficiency is lower and requires more EXP to Level up Even though the 1st Option could potentially make [Dung Eating] useless it seemed it removed the aspect of eating a dung. {[Dung Eating] became [Flesh Eating] [Rank-B] (Level 0 0/7500) : Because my first class started in some hours, I decided to go to a forest and summoned a [Giant Beetle], I searched for a Dung and a Raw Flesh that came from the same animal to see how different the efficiency was. I found the dung that came from a [Bronze Monkey] and also found the [Bronze Monkey], after killing it, I ate its flesh and let the Beetle eat its Dung. In the end, The [Giant Beetle] got 1 Point in Dexterity and 50 EXP whereas I got 0.75 point in Dexterity and 37 EXP, the efficiency went down by 25%, Using 2.000 Essences of my remaining 6.255 Essences, I decided to upgrade it again. {Upgrading [Flesh Eating]. Choose 1 : - Efficiency Is better I decided to take the 2nd Option because it could allow me to also get Stat and EXP by eating at the canteen of the school and also because if I were to kill a Venomous Monster and had to eat its flesh raw to become stronger, I could also directly kill myself. I then upgraded the skill again, I used 4.000 Essences and from my original 7.250 Essences It came down to 250 which I used to upgrade [Tempest] {Upgrading [Flesh Eating] : - Efficiency Upgraded {Upgrading [Tempest] : - Range of the [Tempest] is upgraded For [Flesh Eating], I chose the 1st option and for [Tempest] I chose the 2nd one. After all this, It was near the hour of my first class, [Alchemy], even though I chose Beginner Level in every class but I still enrolled the school during the School Year meaning I was already lagging behind everyone and so they decided to give me a tutor to quickly teach me everything they did before I arrived. In [Alchemy], the tutor taught me the basic of material and how they were categorized in Star, A 1¡ï was a regular material, it''s impossible to make a potion using only 1¡ï; 2¡ï,3¡ï,4¡ï and 5¡ï were also called uncommon plant, they would mostly upgrade the Mana Pool or be used to make temporary Stat Boost Potion; Higher than 5¡ï were the Rare Plant, they would be able to permanantly upgrade some Stat; 8¡ï,9¡ï and 10¡ï were God Plant, their effect were superior to the other plant, some could also allow one to automatically learn a Skill or upgrade their Magic Affinity. After he taught me that, he told me how to use the regular instrument of [Alchemy] and the step of creating a potion, one was Fire Upgrading the next was Ingredient Putting and then Finishing, it sounded pretty easy, In the end he gave me some ingredient and a recipe and told me to do the Potion called [Bull Potion] which would allow one to upgrade Strength temporarily. After nearly destroying the Whole class, I finally got a finished [Bull Potion] that would upgrade Strength by 10% for 10 Minutes and got the [Alchemy] And a Successful Achievement Sound. {Regular Achievement : Acknowledgement From A Teacher {Regular Achievement : Teacher''s Worship I guess making a Potion with just one lesson must be really impressive After making the [Bull Potion], the tutor decided to let me alone for a bit and went to talk with the teacher of the class. I decided to take a look at the Lottery for a bit because I didn''t see what was the new Banner after the Tales of Zestiria. {Lottery : -Normal -Skill -The Gamer Seemed like the New Banner was a Cultivation-Kind of Banner but I wondered why there was a *UNIQUE* writing next to its name. With this, I decided to use all of my Silver lottery ticket on it. {Lottery Result : - Stone Of Eternal Life (Rank-???) - Concept of Time (Rank-???) - Thunder Battleform (Rank-???) - Cosmic Melting Furnace (Rank-???) - Ethereal Martial Intent (Rank-???) Before I could cry of joy, another notification appeared. {Because of Your lacking Level The Items/Skill/Monster will be sealed in the Inventory At this moment, I cried not of joy but because I was so fucking scammed, after thinking for a bit, I chose the Stone Of Eternal Life that would allow me to get stronger quickly. {Stone Of Eternal Life : After asking for a bit, the Stone Of Eternal life doesn''t in fact destroy a Soul but just take the Spirit of the Current Life and destroy it along with the Spirit''s mark so that I can get the memories. Although the other things looked good, they didn''t seem as good as this Stone. {Concept Of Time : It allows the User to cultivate the Law Of Time. It is divided into 10 Different Levels : - First Level : Stagnation : The Concept of Stagnation of the Time Laws slowed down oneself, but slowed down the opponent even more. This not only included movements, but also thoughts, senses, response times, and more. Everything crawled to a halt - Second Level : Slow : Capable of slowing down one''s time, to the point of causing time to reverse. It could Slow down the flow of time in a whole formation, making you experience dozens of years whereas it was only a few years. - Third Level : Fast : Capable of accelerating one''s time, to the point of causing time to move extremely fast. It could be used to increase the flow of time in a Formation, making you experience a few years whereas dozens of years passed. !!Warning!! One Lifespan Consume at the Same speed as the Flow Of Time And There is Slight Law Distortion due to the different flow of time which would cause minor error while cultivating! - Fourth Level : Freeze : The ability to freeze time, forcing it into a standstill in a certain area. - Fifth Level : Genesis : ????? - Sixth Level : Distortion : ????? - Seventh Level : Time Travel : ????? - Eight Level : Time Dimension : ????? - Ninth Level : World''s End : ????? - Tenth Level : World''s Beginning : ????? {Thunder Battleform : Using thunder as the power of life and changing the body, stimulating it to produce a greater strength. {Cosmic Melting Furnace : A Quasi-Saint Artifact Pill Furnace. {Ethereal Martial Intent : {Azure Dragon : A Saint Beast of the Cardinal Direction [Eastern]. 22 Chapter 23 - "Sword?" Although I tried my best not to smile or scream before drawing the lottery, after seeing my reward a huge "OH FUCK!" escaped my mouth, it caused me to have some weird looks before the end of the class, I''ve also gotten another rows of Achievement because of what my tutor said to the Teacher of the class who also got me the same achievement. {Regular Achievement : Acknowledgement From A Teacher {Regular Achievement : Teacher''s Worship After [Alchemy] class was [Blacksmithing]. In this, He also taught me how to use the Fire, how to use the hammer and the property of the material of the ore, like the [Alchemy] ingredients, the ores were divided into 10 Stars. A 1¡ï was a regular material, it was possible to make weapon and armor with them but they were the utmost basic kind and offered no Magical Conductivity, they were the Iron, Copper . . . 2¡ï,3¡ï,4¡ï and 5¡ï were also called uncommon Ore, when an armor/weapon was equipped with it, more stats would be given compared to a Regular Material and it had a superior Magical Conductivity. 6¡ï and 7¡ï were the Rare Ore, they would be able to offer even better Stat Boost, their Magical Conductivity were of the best kind, just lower to the God Ore, they could also have elemental property added to them, making them able to deal elemental damage at each attack. 8¡ï,9¡ï and 10¡ï were God Ore, Their Magical Conductivity was so strong that it could even make a Beginner Magician Rival an Experienced one. They also always had the elemental damage property but contrary to the Rare Ore that could only have the 5 Basic Element as property, the God Ore could have every kind of element and within them were some Skills that could be used as if it was a True Skill that was mastered by someone. Magical Conductivity was the Conductivity of a Weapon/Armor toward Mana, the point of having Magical Conductivity were for the Wand of Magician that would be used as an intermediary to Spell or The Weapon of a Close-Mage that would fight at close-range but used magic, a weapon having a Magical Conductivity of 150% meant that the Spell would at the end be 50% Stronger than a Spell casted without using the Weapon. A weapon is considered having Magical Conductivity only if it has more than 100% of Magical Conductivity. In the end, like in the [Alchemy] class, he asked me to make a weapon using what he taught me, because I already had experience with Fire, it was a bit easier and in the end, I successfully created the Weapon but it had a Strange Shape and even its name was strange. Yes, the name was "Sword?", even the system didn''t know how to qualify the weapon I was trying to make, it was supposed to be a Dagger. It also made me understand why I didn''t get the [Blacksmithing] Skill, after making another Rows of strange weapons, "Sword?", "Saber?", "Machete?", "Scimitar?", I finally reached the name "Dagger?", although it still wasn''t good enough, I finally knew I almost reached the point, when looking at the Sand falling down that worked as Clock, I knew It would be my final try, I tried my hardest and finally got a name without the "?", I also showed it to the tutor who asked me to do that. {Normal Dagger : {Regular Achievement : Acknowledgement From A Teacher Even though I didn''t get The Teacher''s Worship, I didn''t think of it much because it was already good having a Lottery Ticket, with this it made 2 and could allow me to draw in a Special Banner, I decided to use this final draw on the Unique Banner because although I couldn''t use them, when I could use them, I would be damn overpowered. {Lottery Results : {Because Of Your Lacking Level, {Blue Lotus Fire Dance : This was an attack that combined the first three levels of Concepts of Fire; Burning Heat, Annihilation, and Creation. The skill is manifested as if a glorious blue lotus were slowly blooming around the user. Although the description didn''t seem that attractive, after knowing the meaning of a "Concept", I knew that any skills that used Concept as a base was a strong destructive skill. Every class ended, I quickly rushed back to my room with my Clone and decided to take the time to train [Consciousness Splitting], after trying it out for a bit, I was now able to perfectly use the true body and the clone at the same time, walking, running, attacking, I wasn''t too sure about a real fight or a conversation with someone so for the moment, I just decided to train my [Cooking] and [Fishing] with my clone and [Parkour] with the true body. After training until it was night time, [Cooking] reached the 3rd level and I could now make food that could heal me and if I were lucky, I could have some temporary Stat boost. [Fishing] reached the 4Th Level and could get me Fish that were categorized as 3¡ï, their taste were better and they were the one with the highest chance of having temporary Stat Boost. [Parkour] reached the 8Th Level and I was way faster than before when climbing trees, rolling around, jumping from trees to trees. {Name : Grimson EtherBlood Age : 8 Level 17 (0/129.746) Class : ???

After a week of School, I learned every kind of Craft Skill and Art Skill I could learn in the school [Tailoring], [Jewelry-Making], [Woodworking], [Weaving], [Leatherworking], [Bonecraft], [Pottery], [Drawing], [Painting], [Sculpting]. Getting all those skills, every Crafting-Type Skill came under the name of the ability [Crafting] and the Art-Type came under the name of the ability [Art]. I also received a skill called [Hand Nimbleness] {Hand Nimbleness : Like the description said, it made me more nimble at using Hands, it was like having bonus [Dexterity] Point. I also got 8 Broken [Function Unlocker] and 10 Lottery Tickets. After the week, I got enough EXP to fix a Broken [Function Unlocker]. I decided to use it to unlock the [Crafting] Function, the [Crafting] Function allowed me to automatically craft something I had already crafted before but it would cost more material and it had less chance of being a successful craft but the more I crafted the same type of item, the better crafting chance there was and the less Material was required. [Crafting] also allows me to get skill Proficiency for my Crafting-Type Skill so as long as I had a lot of material. Because of my fast advancement, The school decided to let me go up by a Year, I decided to take this chance because I needed to get to know more people for my final judgement. Everytime I was introduced to my new class in [Alchemy], [Blacksmithing], [Drawing] . . . I first started by looking at how they reacted when they saw me, in the total of reaction, I mainly saw looks of admiration but I would sometimes see Envy or even Hate, Envy seemed normal but Hate? I guess it angered someone that someone as talented as me existed. ["Talent"? Even though you have the system you didn''t even master any 1 of the Art-type skill or Crafting-Type Skill, what a trash] I decided to ignore this annoying voice and decided to continue crafting new items to make them appear in my [Crafting] Function. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Weeks After - I continued skipping Years, At the end of the 2 Weeks, I reached the 4Th Year and all of the Art/Craft-Type Skill reached at the very least the 7Th level. With the Meals I got during those 3 Weeks and the preferential treatment because of my ''talent'', I also got 10 or so Bonus Stat just from eating. It was now time for me to get back to my True Body and go to the [Training Camp], I decided to first trash [Balor''s Magical Eye] because although it seemed good at first, it was actually not that good because when I tried using it, Numbers would block my views and it seemed hard to use in a fight so I didn''t actually use it much. I decided to keep my Essences to use them in case I needed. I quickly reached the place where people that signed up and passed the test for [Training Camp] needed to go, when I reached there, I saw only 3 Other person that seemed to be waiting. Waiting for some minutes, I quickly got bored and decided to talk to the other. "So, looks like we will have to wait, what about introducing ourselves? I''ma start, I''m called Declan. Even though they looked like they heard what I said, they just decided to ignore it and just decided to idle, at this moment, I wished the [Training Camp] was at the Demon''s Territory because it was so much more lively there. After another rounds of waiting, the one that would be teaching us finally arrived. He was a tall and Brawny man, the one that tested me, after he arrived, he decided to let us introduce ourselves so I had to introduce myself for a second time and they finally decided to talk. The teacher first started. "I will be your teacher for this year, I''m Boid, I don''t use any weapon and I''m a Strength-Type Warrior, I reached the 35th Level and I''m at the standard of a Late D-Rank Adventurer" I waited for a bit then when I saw no one decided to talk, I decided to introduce myself. "I''m Declan, I''m a Mage with Affinity for the 5 Basic Elements, I''m at the 17th level and at the Late F-Rank Adventurer Standard." When the others heard what I said, they started laughing and looked at me in disdain. One of them then started talking, he looked to be the oldest and seemed to be the most important one of them. "Hahaha. Kid stop lying, if you really were at this level, you wouldn''t be at this [Training Camp], do you think that we''re stupid? Anyway, I should introduce myself only once so remember it well, I''m Uiv, an Assassin-Type Mage with the Shadow and Wind Element, level 18 and Mid F-Rank Adventurer", This one already started annoying me so I started looking at him to be sure to beat him up in the future, like everyone in this damned world, he was handsome, he had black hair, gray-eyes and was wearing Noble clothes but rather than the normal White and Gold Colour, he had a Black one and Green One. Time passed but nobody else introduced themselves, though the teacher already knew all of us because of a file he got, he and I started getting irritated, in the end, he sighed and decided to just leave it. We then followed him until we reached some kind of desert where a Huge City with Huge Walls was seen, when we reached the gate, people with good eyesight could read the name [Adventurer''s Guild Training Camp]. After the gates opened, one could see a city bustling with people, most of them looked like they were only a bit older than me, the number of person that was my age could be counted in one hand. When I was looking at the bustling city, I accidentally bumped into someone, when I looked at the person, it was a girl but she seemed a bit familiar . . . it was a boy I mistook for a girl last time, I decided to just say Sorry and leave, but I had the feeling that I would be in the same class 24 Chapter 25 - Saitamas Training After following the teacher for a bit more, we reached a small building, one could see the name "Class 1-4" on a Sign that was near the Building. At this moment, Boid, started talking. "We''ve arrived, this is your class in the [Training Camp], in here it''ll just teach you about more in-depth knowledge about the Monsters, how to fight against them and Dungeons" After that, he just gave us Keys to our room and showed us the way to the boy''s and girl''s dormitory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Next Day - I now had to use my [Consciousness Splitting] to control both my clone and the true body. With the Clone, I just had to do the regular thing, considering that what I needed to do now was just listening to what the teachers said and do the task they gave us. With the True Body, I went to the Building of my class, at this point, the sun already rose and I saw ~30 Peoples that looked less than 15 Year Old waiting, while looking at the people, I cursed, like what I guessed, I really was in the same class as the boy that looked like a girl. When I continued looking, I saw that Uiv and the 2 others weren''t here, sounds like they''ll be late for their first day. After 5 Minutes, Boid, finally arrived and then opened the door, after that, the ~30 peoples started entering the class. After everyone entered the class, Boid introduced me to the class and asked me to sit where I wanted, I decided to just go at a desk the farthest from the teacher, he then started his lesson, at first I didn''t care but when I saw that the lesson about Monsters would give me points for the [Beast Encyclopedia], I started to really care about it. After 1 Hour of the teacher blabbering things about what Adventurer needed to know, I heard someone knocking at the door, when the teacher opened the door, I saw the 3 Peoples that were with me, they seemed to be out of breath, they must''ve rushed here the moment they woke up. Boid then started showing a malicious grin and Anger could be seen through his eyes, when the other students saw that, some started become pale, some started snickering but most of them just started showing gaze of pity toward the 3 of them. I started asking one of the students that was near me, he then told me that when Boid showed this malicious grin, it meant he was going to punish the students by making them do the "Hell Training", from his words, it seemed to be a really hard training that lasted for an hour and was also the biggest reason why there were no troublemaker in this class. After another Hour of Lesson, it was time for the Body Training, we went outside of the School and he then gave us our training plan, after looking at it, it seemed oddly similar to the training of Saitama, this also triggered a quest. {Special Quest : Saitama''s Training [1] Do as Much Training as Saitama within 3 Years. 0/109.500 Squats 0/109.500 Sit-Ups 0/109.500 Push-Ups 0/10.950 KM Of Running. (When the Quest is Succeeded there won''t be any hair loss) Quest Rewards : Skill [Super Body], +150 Allocable Points, Possibility to Access Next Part Quest Failure : Hair Loss, -50 Allocable Points, -1 Random Skill Because I didn''t receive Quest for a long time, I was quite happy and I was pretty sure this could be a pretty easy Quest so I decided that I would do even more than Saitama''s Training Routine because I could also use this as a way to train my Will and my Perseverance. My Training Routine then became : 500 Squats/Sit-Ups/Push-Ups and 50KM of Running Everyday. After doing some maths, I would need 219 Days to finish the quest if I followed the Plan --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exactly 219 Days Later - During those 219 Days, I tried to get along with my classmates but they only ignored me, from what I know, most of them were some kind of Noble that had no talent and were downgraded to becoming Adventurer and would only try to get along with other "Fallen Nobles" like I decided to call them, but it didn''t mean that everyone in the class were "Fallen Nobles", I still saw some Commoners and Adventurers, I eventually got along with a small group of 4 Peoples, they were . . nice, I''d say. In this group, there was the Feminine Boy called Avery, seemed even more confusing to me. An average-looking Girl called Ann, although she had a petite body, in term of sheer strength, she was the number one in the class, well only if I wasn''t in this class. A Beautiful Girl called Mia, she was the oldest in the class and would treat us like kid, she gave off a mature aura. A Handsome Boy called Jos, he was a "Fallen Noble" but he seemed not to care about this and wouldn''t ignore other because they weren''t Nobles. The Quest also finished a few days earlier. {Chain Quest Completed : Saitama''s Training [1] Do as Much Training as Saitama within 3 Years. 109.500/109.500 Squats 109.500/109.500 Sit-Ups 109.500/109.500 Push-Ups 10.950/10.950 KM Of Running.

Quest Reward : Skill [Super Body] Become [Ultimate Body], Rank-DDD Training Ticket Quest Failure : Lose [Super Body], Lose 250 Allocable Points, Lose 2 Random Skills I also accepted, the reason is that [Hard-Working] actually allowed me to do more Work for the same amount of stamina, that was something I learned during the first Quest. During this time, My Crafting Skill, My Art Skill, [Cooking], [Fishing], [Consciousness Splitting], [Spinning Mana Arrow], [Armatization], [Lie] and [Parkour] reached the MAX Level. {Name : Grimson EtherBlood Age : 9 Level 17 (0/129.746) Class : ???

In this world, the Stats of a Rank-S reached only ~1750. The Stats rank in this world was : 250 for Rank - F 650 - Rank E 900 - Rank D 1150 - Rank C 1300 - Rank B 1500 - Rank A 1750 - Rank S. {Body/Magic Training [DDD] : Gives 1.500 EXP every day I also got the [Ultimate Body] from the Quest {Ultimate Body : +100 Strength +100 Vitality +100 Dexterity +100 Agility +100 Stamina 5% To resist being affected by a Special Condition I then reached the 13th Year in the [Craft and Art Academy], after the 7th Year, I got access to more Art Class that were related to Music, I learned the Instruments, how to sing and how to make song/poetry. The reason why I didn''t skip a Year yet again was because I wanted to do the Contest of Art and Craft, the first prize being able to have access to the Royal Library, I wanted to have access to it because during the time I was in the School, I decided to use the [Trash] Function yet again by destroying the Craft and Art skill and getting them back again. By doing that, I''ve gotten near 85.000 Essences, I then used 2.500 To upgrade the [Skill Function], after doing that, I got an upgrade called [Quick Learning], I could use this to automatically get skill, the requirement being having a [Skill Book] or someone that was willing to teach me. With this, I''ve also upgraded 3 other Functions, [Monster], [Quest] and [Lottery] : - The [Monster] Function now had a Summoning Limit of 7 and if I was lucky, I could now directly get the whole monster when I killed one, the probability was higher when I Killed a Rare/Unique Monster. - The [Quest] Function now showed [Daily Quest] - In the [Lottery] Function, I could make a Special Banner Permanent but it would now cost me 2x as much to use it, because I wasn''t sure which Banner to make permanent, I decided to keep it and use it later. I then upgraded 2 Skills, [Destroy Four Elements] and [Full Counter (Magic)] : - In [Destroy Four Elements], from the 4 Elements, I got the possibility to add another one, which was Wood, the skill then became [Destroy Five Elements] - [Full Counter] got a sub-Skill called [Counter Vanish] that would allow me to directly Vanish the Spell against me, this skill had a lower Cooldown, lower Mana Cost and Lower Cast Time. In the [Training Camp], they decided to have us do an Exam, it was a Dungeon Exploring one, we had to explore a [Dungeon] made by a Mage having a Unique Skill called [Dungeon Making], the reason why it was a "Unique" Skill was because the one that learnt this skill would literally only have ONE skill in his whole life because to master this Spell, one was required to change his whole Mana Pattern, this caused one to be impossible to master the Basic Spell that would need a Regular Mana Pattern. As for the Group I chose to be with, it was obviously the group with Avery, Jos, Mia and Ann. Although they were quite weak compared to the other groups that wanted me to be with them, they were still better than the Fallen Nobles that would look at Others with disdain. The Exam worked in a simple way, Every Groups would enter the Dungeon and then do the various test inside. After our group got prepared, we then went in front of the Dungeon''s Entrance and after they told us we could enter, we started going inside the dungeon, at first, it looked like a long Corridor. After walking for a bit, we saw 3 Statues with plate under them with "A", "B and "C", 1 Sign could also be seen, on the Sign was written : "You have to find out the Identity of the 3 Statues : 1 Will Always Speak Truly, "True" 1 Will Always Lie, "False" 1 Will Always Answer Randomly, "Random" You may ask 3 Yes or No Question, Although the Statues Understand what you say, They Will answer With Ja [Yes] and Da [No], One of Which mean Yes and the Other Mean No, But you don''t know which means Yes and which means No" Readin this, I was completely stunned, not because of the difficulty of this but because I knew what Ja and Da meant, after thinking for a bit, I attributed this to my [Language Mastery] but I knew it could be a problem if I were to suddenly get every answer without having following the real way to Answer this Puzzle, I continued to think but started giving up and was about to talk to a statue, if not for someone in my [Sea Of Consciousness] that already knew about this Logic Puzzle, I then followed his instructions, I turned to the first Statue with the name "A", under the confused gaze of my group, I started Speaking "If I were to ask you if B was Random, would you answer Ja [Yes]?" After he heard of what I said, the Statue opened his mouth and a very loud "Ja [Yes]!" Was heard. With this I knew that A or B was Random but C was surely not the Random so I went to him and Spoke "If I were to ask you If you were True, would you answer Ja [Yes]?" He then answered with a "Ja [Yes]!" Now that I knew he was the True, I now had to identify which was Flase and which was Random. I continued speaking to him "If I were to ask you if A was Random would you say Ja [Yes]?" "Da [No]!" With this I knew everything, I went to every Statue and said who they were, after hearing my answer, they opened the Way and we continued in this corridor. 26 Chapter 27 - The Path to GodHood? While passing by the Statue, I saw some kind of writing, looking closely, I saw it was part of what we needed to do to get the answer, after thinking for a bit, that was a bit logic, this Puzzle was way too hard for us to be able to do it, this Test must''ve been about the ability to inspect the surroundings and find clue in a Dungeon. While walking in the corridor, the Corridor started being dark because there was no torch to light the whole thing up, I was about to use a Basic [Torch] before I heard some sound coming from above my head, while looking at it closely, I saw some multiple Red Eyes. I decided to go back for a bit to look where there weren''t any of those Red Eyes, like I expected, those Red Eyes only appeared after the Light went Dim. To be sure that there wouldn''t be any danger, I created a [Torch], I then saw countless Spiders going to our position some already prepared to attack us, Before they could do that, I made a [Fire Wall], I then prepared myself to make countless [Explosive Fireball] to destroy all those Spiders. After the [Fire Wall] disappeared, I quickly sent the [Explosive Fireball] before making [Wood Wall] and a [Earth Wall], that were directly destroyed when huge *BOOOOM* were heard. At least, that was effective, from the countless spiders, only a few were still moving but were probably going to die after some seconds, we decided to just leave this place. We finally reached a Room, after reaching this room, the Door automatically closed down and became reinforced with magic. It was obviously like in a game where it was a room you needed to kill everyone before leaving, because the Room was quite big, I used a stronger [Torch], after I used [Torch], a Huge Green Monster could be seen, it was a [Troll] but obviously they wouldn''t send us a C-Rank Monster so it was poisoned beforehand, I guessed that the poison must''ve weakened his regenerative Power. When I started attacking, I saw that it wasn''t the Regenerative Power that was weakened but he was just paralyzed, he couldn''t move and couldn''t do anything, this test was probably a test of Destructive Power, this was one thing I loved to do, Destroy! Jos who held the special "Light" Element that had weak Destructive Power but with attack as fast as Light and Huge Potential for a Support was specially suited for what I needed to do. Although he had a weak talent, he mainly dedicated to being a Support, he mainly knew Strengthening Ability and he also held a Wand that had a great Conductivity. So I immediately called him, he also quickly understood what I wanted so he decided to use all of his Magic Strengthening Spell on me, with what he did, my Destructive Power went up by 25%, everyone in the group also learned a special Spell called [Mana Sharing], it would allow me to use the Skill with the most destructive power, [Destroy Five Elements]! But I was going to make it even stronger, using the [Shadow Clone Technique], I summoned a Clone, this Clone had enough Mana to use [Full Counter], with the [Mana Sharing] of the group, I could sustain myself using [Full Counter] too, I summoned a Clone and then went for the 3 Minutes of Casting of the [Destroy Five Elements], the face of everyone in the group started paling because of the huge burden of the Mana they took. When I was about to finish the Cast of the [Destroy Five Elements], I prepared [Full Counter] with my clone, which I then countered with the True body, this made [Destroy Five Elements] ~5X stronger. I admit, this was WAY too overkill, the spell even nearly killed us all because of the ridiculous amount of strength that was in it, the Spell directly exploded on the [Troll] which died without even leaving a body. Although my teammates were Shocked, they were still mostly fatigued so they quickly went to rest, I still had a bit of Fatigue so I decided to talk with the Old guy, ''You said that they were countless path of Godhood but is there any ranking?'' [AH! You finally interest yourself to your main Task? Anyway, yes there is a ranking, there is the 2 Path called the "Peak" : [Creation] and [Destruction], Then three "Top" Paths being : [Body], [Mind] and [Spirit], Every Path to Godhood are under those 5, [Body] [Mind] and [Spirit] being directly under both [Creation] and [Destruction]. For exemple, my [Art] path is under [Mind] because when I made something that could be referred as [Art], it could have an effect on the mind of someone but it also has Sub-Path, those are weaker Path but still related to [Art], like [Singing], [Painting]. Let''s say someone take the path of [Weapon], he would still be better at sword than someone with [Sword] Path because the [Weapon] Path is a stronger path, My [Art] is one that is directly Under the Top-Tier, one of the strongest [Path] of the [Mind] Path. The [Body] Path doesn''t just refer to the [Body], it mainly refer to the Physical Attack, [Mind] refer to thing like Psychic, Magic, Art . . . [Spirit] is a bit complicated, it refers to supernatural but in the sense of Ghost, it''s related to the Life And Death like the [Resurrection] Path, [Ghost] Path, [Necromancy] Path. The 3 Top Tier Path works in a triangle way, [Spirit] \u003e [Body] \u003e [Mind] \u003e [Spirit]. There is also a legend of the Supreme-Tier Path, the [Soul] . . WAIT!

Although the Pillars were far from each other, my [Parkour] skill and my body were already strong enough to allow me to jump from 1 pillar to another without any Magical support, at first, I thought that I could just carry someone from my group and then help them do the Test but apparently only 1 Person can do the Test at a time but we could still use magic to help the one doing the Test, I used the modified [Wind Steps] to allow them to jump Higher, Jos then used a Body Strengthening Magic on everyone, Mia just looked at us confused and just used Earth Magic and make some bridge between each Pillar, seeing that, Jos and I just started a nervous laugh. We then decided the order of passage : Ann, Avery, Mia, Jos then Me. When Ann was walking on the Bridge, I quickly creamed toward her, "RUN, ANN, THE BRIDGE IS CRUMBLING", Hearing that, she quickly ran but the Bridge under her already crumbled, I used a [Wind Wave], to save her, [Wind Wave] being a non-offensive Spell that would mostly be used to knock back other spells, people or any kind of object flying toward the user. A huge *Thud* was then heard, hearing this, Avery, looked concerned and said "Are you Okay?", to which Ann nodded, indicating she was fine, she didn''t use the bridge anymore and we just decided to make Jos use Body-Strengthening Spell and I would use [Wind Wave] to knock her, we then continued this until she reached the end, obviously, I used this because of her body being the 2nd Strongest in the group, we didn''t dare to do that for the others. With Avery, we decided to try an Earth Bridge too, yet again, the Bridge crumbled so we decided to make Earth Bridge + [Wind Steps] + Body-Strengthening Spell, we then passed easily through this Test. The biggest challenge being suffering the wrath of Ann, who questioned us the moment we finished, "Hey Hey! Why am I the only one who had to suffer by falling?!" Jos and I then exchanged this look like ''We done fucked up, dude'', when Jos was about to answer her, I quickly said "It was all Jos'' Idea!", because my [Lie] already reached the Max Level and because of how Handsome I was, she would probably believe me. Ann started glaring at Jos, while he was giving me a sad look after I betrayed him. [Why are you scared of her when you''re 1000 times stronger than she''ll ever be] ''Because they will probably be against me when I''ll side with the Demons so I better let them have good memory before I''d probably kill them'' [Yeah, I guess you''re right] After continuing, we reached the next room, this time, wave of monsters started appearing, I tried to kill as much as I could, this was probably a Stamina Test considering that every monsters were of the weakest kind and they were of the Defensive kind, so I used the fact that it was quite dark to use the [Shadow Clone Technique] to kill even more of those Monsters, with this test, I got 25.000 EXP and rows of different Monster, I extracted 1 Skill from every of those monster and destroyed them to get even more Essences, I only kept 1 Skill, [Critical Defence], it allowed me to have an even stronger defence when my Health was lower, I then destroyed every monster except the one that gave me [Critical Defence], I got 1.500 Essences with those Monsters. I started looking at the [Daily Quest] that got completed during the trial, {Daily Quest : Kill !! Kill 100 Monsters ! Quest Rewards : +2500 EXP Quest Failure : None I took the EXP and continued walking with the group, we eventually found some Light, this was sign that it was the end, when we arrived, everyone had Shocked expression, looks like we reached the end before everyone else, under the shocked expression, our group just continued walking until we found the teacher that was assigned to us who also held a shocked expression, I also showed a delighted smile, I got Teacher''s Acknowledgement and even some Worship, Got 6 Lottery Tickets and 2 Broken [Function Unlocker], Mia started talking, "Teacher, We''ve finished the dungeon, did we pass?" Although Mia asked this, she had a really confident look, the teacher just nodded and kept his mouth shut. We then got assigned to tents that would allow us to rest while the others were still taking the test. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day - Eventually a group walked out of the Dungeon and started cheering, thinking they were the first one to pass, we were woke up from the huge sound of their cheering, Jos and I got a bit pissed so we decided to try to shatter their dreams of being the first one. I and Jos walked out of our tent and started clapping, we went out to the group who started showing bewildered expression, "Good Job guys, you are the *cough* ''First'' one to pass the test, isn''t that right Jos?" "You''re right Grimson, they are really the *cough* ''First'' to pass, after all we were sleeping for a whole day waiting for someone to finish while they are still so lively, they must be really good" Unexpectedly, Avery tried to join us. "Jos, Grimson, why didn''t you tell me that the *cough* ''First'' are already here?" They might be a bit embarassed but I found it funny seeing them going like, ''uh no that wasn''t what we meant'' well one of them seemed more angry than embarassed but heh I don''t care. 28 Chapter 29 - True Demon Hero They went to report to their teacher with an embarassed expression, I decided to just continue training my [Advanced Memory] until the Contest of Art and Craft started or when everyone arrived, The Contest started 2 days from now on, considering the difficulty of some of the test, they''ll probably take ~3 Days, the test ending in 5 Days. As I expected, the Contest of Art and Craft started before everyone finished the trial, I quickly got prepared with my Clone, there was more than 100 Participants, The First day, it was the [Blacksmithing] test, each round, there would be 5 Participants that would go on stage and make a weapon that was decided by the judge, only 1 Would pass, the 4 Others would be eliminated, the ranking in the end would decide how much point would be given. When the Participants had to go on stage wasn''t chosen using the common "Drawing Lots", they used a more time-consuming one, they would do a mock contest, they''ll then look at the results and then choose who will go up and when, they''ll place it so that the Worst one would be up against the Better one, this was a way so that someone that had bad skill would win more points than someone who had better skill. Those placements made it so that in the first passage, the participants would usually give up. During the mock contest, every of the Participants would go on the stage and start making an item of their choice and the judge would then give points according to the quality of the Item made. Although the Contest and the Mock Contest were supposed to last for 2 Weeks, because of my Overwhelming ability, I reached number 1 everytime for 8 Days, the judge and the staff of the Contest just decided to give me my prize and let the others continue because they judged that there would be no point to see a Contest if everyone already knew the winner. Although I had full access to the Royal Library for 7 Days, because my disguise could be seen through by people having way stronger Magic stat, even though some other people had already seen through my disguise, they didn''t think much considering that due to the nature of the [Disguise] skill, they''ll just think that I was a regular Human passing by, from what I saw within this Year in the Demon Empire, a lot of Human would usually live there, they were mostly slaves that fled from the Human Empire. In this case, a Human entering the Royal Library could easily make them feel suspicious. Like a certain blue Hedgehog would say I should ''Gotta Go Fast!'', after some minutes of trying to use [Quick Learning], I still felt it was too slow so I upgraded Skill/Abilities Function to make it even more efficient, with this, I could just quickly flip through a book to still get some knowledge and even Skill. I learned Advanced-Magic of the 5 Basic Elements and even some basic spell, basic knowledge about rare Magic Element, I also learned the Magic-Variation of the Craft and Art Skill, this allowed me to infuse Magic into what I created or what I did, for Armor/Weapon, using Magic-Variation of Crafting Skill allowed me to prioritize the effect of Magic Conductivity and Magic-Oriented Ability attached to it but it would have weaker Durability, weaker damage and the Physical-Oriented Ability attached. I then prepared my plan to run away from the Human Empire, I first gave my decision to the Demon King which thanked me and decided to help me, he sent one of the spy that was stationed in the [Training Camp] to do a kidnapping act yet again. I would escape from the Empire during the road back to the [Training Camp], the Spy was a Beast Tamer that also learned a way to taunt monster, using the fact that he was in the [Training Camp] for dozens of years, he already knew the best way to secretly ''kidnap me''. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day - Although we already started travelling back to the [Training Camp] for 6 Days, due to the rarity of people owning [Dungeon Making], I guess it would be really hard to find people that chose to literally never use Magic ever again just to make a Dungeon. Anyway, while we were in our carriage, we felt some Tremor and the earth started to slightly shake, outside a huge figure of at least 20 Meters Tall could be seen rushing toward us, it was a [Giant], the teachers only said one thing "RUN!", some people did that, I just waited in my carriage until a figure entered it, it was the Spy, obviously, it would be weird if they saw me just walking with a random figure so we had to start the kidnapping act. [Yeah, he just tied you with a rope, what a huge act . .] I didn''t listen to the Old Guy and just continued with the act. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 Days Later - We finally reached the Demon Empire, the Demon Emperor made me went through a Ritual, it would make me become partially a Demon so that I would truly be accepted as a Demon Hero, in this Ritual, I had to drink the blood of the Origin Demon who became the Demon God. After finishing the Ritual, I got some notifications. {Secret Quest : Race Changing Changing your Race for the first time {Secret Achievement : True Demon Hero {Title Evolved : [Fake Hero] \u003e [True Demon Hero] Effects : Deals 100% More Damage to Human, 150% More Damage to Wielder of Holy Power and {Demon Hero : {Luccrow''s Darkness Blessing : {Your Dark/Shadow/Blood Element Talent reached the Perfect Grade, When I saw the last notification, I quickly threw my Hero''s Ring to the trash before looking at my new equipment, it was a dark-red coloured equipment, it gave a rather nice feeling, its effect were to give me +250 in every Stats, I got 2* the Skill Proficiency, I got 5* the EXP when killing a Human, my Weapon was now permanently imbued with Dark Magic that gave +50 Damage and +150 Damage to Humans, my Armor was imbued with a Dark Magic that would reflect up to 5% of the damage taken. I also got 2 Active Skills from the Equipment, [Dark Outburst] which was a spell that would make an explosion of Dark Magic and [Demon Overlord] which would make me 25% Stronger for 10 Minutes. 29 Chapter 30 - Hell With my race being changed, my appearance also started changing though it didn''t change by much considering I wasn''t a full demon but I still had an horn that grew, a bit of red appeared in my black hair, a tint of red could be seen in my Golden-Eyes, I grew taller and I also became even more handsome, at this point, I might even make the coldest woman fall for me. While I was admiring my new appearance, the Demon King approached me and started speaking, "Although you became our [Hero], you''re still too weak, the Humans have dozens of S-Rank Champions and even a Sealed [Hero] that they can bring back to life so I will send you to our [Sacred Temple] to train until you reach B-Rank" When I heard about what he said about the Dozens of S-Rank of the Humans and the Sealed [Hero], I was shocked, it should be known that S-Rank was considered legendary being, only Dragon would become S-Rank, but now, Dozens of S-Rank appeared? I still had some question so I asked, "Does the Demons have no S-Rank Champion, how did the [Hero] get sealed, why and what will I do after reaching B-Rank?" He bitterly smiled then answered, "Although, Us Demons, also have S-Rank Champion, they could be counted on one hand and reach the end of their lives. About the [Hero], he is also the last known [Hero], he was sealed in an [Eternal Ice] that would keep him Young, in time of need, they''ll use another of their sacred item to unfreeze him, this is their strongest weapon, it''s rumored that he''s stronger than any S-Rank and could be considered a being that could even rival the Dragons. As for what you will do after reached B-Rank, you''ll know that after you reach it, before that, don''t think about it" He then called a few guards and I followed them to the [Sacred Temple], the Temple wasn''t a tall building neither was it some expansive shrine, on the outside, it was just a Shabby old house, but when I tried to enter, it seemed as if I became a Mime and I was doing the Invisible Wall act, the guards laughed for a bit before giving me a sort of Amulet that allowed me to go through the door, I just awkwardly laughed and rushed inside, it looked even better than the Palace of the Demon King. There, I saw 2 Demons, one looked to be really old and the other one was an energetic young Demon, they looked to be talking and waiting for someone, when they saw me, they quickly came, they then introduced themselves, it seemed that I was going to become the Disciple of the Old Demon named Kail and that the Young Demon named Teil was my fellow disciple and also the grandson of Kail. Kail told me to go rest and we''ll start the training tomorrow. Before sleeping, I thought for a bit more, I decided to level up and use a Broken [Function Unlocker], {Used 342.365 EXP Reached Level 19 EXP Remaining : 63.314 {Used 40.000 EXP Broken [Function Unlocker] Fixed I decided to search for something that seemed nice, one of them attracted my attention, it was called [Save/Load Function], after looking for a bit, it seemed to be what I thought it was, it allowed me to save at a point in my life and Load it again, though it had some restrictions, I would lose 1 Unique Ability per use, if I had 0 when I used it then I would lose 2 Random Skills/Abilities, though only the Load would cost me something and the save would cost me nothing, I also got 3 Free Loads for the moment, I decided that I would spam Save repeatedly because we never know and that every Save were registered and would never be lost. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day - I quickly ran from my room to the meeting point, there I saw Kail and Teil, Teil quickly ran toward me and asked "Grimson, why are you so late?" he said directly when he was running "I was sleeping" I said while scratching my head and awkwardly laughing. Kail came here, he looked a bit angry, it seemed like he was about to kill me but he just calmed down, "Grimson, although you''re the [Hero], you can''t be late for your training, I won''t punish you this time considering it''s your first day. Anyway, which element can you use?" After thinking for a bit, I decided to tell the truth considering that they wouldn''t try to destroy their only lifeline. "I can use every Element, I have ''Full Affinity'' ", they looked a bit shocked, being a [Hero] and have ''Full Affinity'' must be bullshit luck for them I guess. At this point, I saw so much Shocked face that I was used to it. Kail thought for a bit before suddenly leaving and calling a few more Old Demons, they then introduced themselves, they would just teach me every kind of Magic they knew but I didn''t care considering that I would just quickly learn their skill and then I wouldn''t see them ever again. I just remembered what kind of Magic they would teach me, they would teach me Dark, Shadow, Blood, Sound and even Light but some would teach me some interesting one like variant Element, they were stronger version of existing kind of element, one of them could teach me Absolute Zero and another one could teach me HellFire. The reason why they could teach me Light was because only Holy Power was dangerous against Demons but Light would actually work pretty well with Demons, they would use a special kind of Light that would prioritize Strength and not Speed or making other stronger, this kind of Light had really good Piercing Power but lacked the Explosive strength of Fire. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 120 Days Later - TRAINING IS FUCKING HELL! 30 Chapter 31 - I think Im becoming Crazy Why was Training Hell you ask? Because this old bastard forced me to use 100% of my mana to train myself against lack of mana, he would also give me impossible task like running 1.000 KM in 1 day and if I didn''t do it, he would beat me up, he beat me up so many time that my [Pain Resistance] reached Max but you ask how come with my +40% of defence I would still get beaten up? Because I finally learned that Defence would only work this well against people of the same strength or weaker than me, people stronger than me would ignore part of my defence and he would attack some weak point where the defence is fucking ignored! I think I''m going to start becoming crazy, I hear voices everywhere. But it''s fine now, with me being crazy, I got ''Will'' point and became able to overcome this, I also used all the EXP from the food they gave me and the training method to reach Level 20 before I became 10 Year Old. Because they gave me high-ranked beast''s flesh, I got numerous Stats point, I reached the peak of the Training Method and even surpassed it. By Reaching Level 20 before being 10 Year Old, I got a new Secret Achievement. {Secret Achievement : Impossible-Rank Talent With all that, I also learned everything my Magic Element Teacher could teach me, I should thank [Quick-Learning] for that, which probably caused me to have the acknowledgement of the teacher. With all of those Lottery Ticket, I decided to use them {Lottery : Regular Skill One Piece I decided to draw 6 Times in One Piece and 5 Times in Hunter x Hunter {Lottery Results (One Piece) : Armament Haki (Rank-SS) One Sword Style (Rank-AA) Ketsueki (Rank-SSS) Soru (Rank-BBB) Surume (Rank-CC) Thousand Sunny (Rank-DDD) Lottery Results (Hunter x Hunter) : Kon (Rank-B) Summoning Card [Cheadle Yorkshire] (Rank-B) GuidePost (Rank-CC) Animal Empathy (Rank-AA) Because I was already too tired to even look closely at the description of what I got, I just quickly took a look about what seemed to be good, Surume and Kon were 2 new Monsters, one was a Kraken (Surume) and the other one was a FoxBear Cub (Kon), although Kon was still a Cub, it apparently had huge talent even for the FoxBear race. [GuidePost] was a 1-time use item that would allow me to locate people or item. [Animal Empathy] was an ability that allowed me to easily get liked by animal even the most aggressive one would have an higher chance of liking me, [Rhythm Echo] allowed me to create multiple afterimages to confuse my opponent, [Armament Haki] allowed me to create some kind of armor around my body, this would cause myself to be able to defend against attacks and [Soru] would allow me to move at extremely fast speed to avoid attack or attack with greater speed and power. [Thousand Sunny] was a boat but there is a huge lack of water in here so that''s pointless and [Ketsueki] is a really strong sword, by equipping it I would get 150 in every stats but I would lose 1000 Health, it had a special skill attached to it, by using 25% of the remaining health, I would make a Blood Wave that would be launched through the sword, the more Health I used, the stronger would the Blood Wave be. I was now searching for a way to get the next Training-Method but it would cost me at least 500.000 World Coins for the C-Rank Body/Magic Training Method and 1.000.000 for the B-Rank one, Essences traded to 1:20, for 1 Essence, I could get 20 World Coins, I already had 5.000 World Coins so I needed 495.000 World Coins to get the C-Rank Body/Magic Training Method but I would get limited yet again so I decided to directly try to get the B-Rank one, I used 49.750 Essences and got 995.000 World Coins and bought the B-Rank Training Method. It would allow me to get to 1.300 in every Stats and 3.000.000 EXP, getting 20 Stats every 10 days and 3.000 EXP every Day. I now had 38.750 remaining Essences, I used some essences to upgrade Skills and Functions, starting with [Ultimate Body], with this, I upgraded the Stats Boost to 150. I upgraded [Destroy Five Elements] to make the Fire become HellFire and then [Full Counter], now the [Counter Vanish] would now store the Magic into the Inventory, I could then throw it when I wanted but it would cost me more mana and the cooldown was longer. The last thing I upgraded was [Crafting] Function, it would now have an higher success rate and would create better item. While I was talking, I was in fact getting beaten up again by this mo**** who is called Kail, this old bastard gave me a fucking impossible task yet again. {Name : Grimson EtherBlood Race : Mixed Race (Human/Demon) Level 20 (0/200.000) Class : ???

I decided to still make some plans to be sure I would win because I didn''t want to suffer Kail''s beating yet again. Well my ''plans'' just referred to using [Counter Vanish] to absorb [Destroy Five Elements] and creating some clones. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Week Later - It was time for the fight against Teil, although it was called [Sacred Temple], it wasn''t ''Sacred'' enough for us to not be allowed to fight, there was even an arena. I and Teil went into a corner of the Arena, we waited for Kail to allow us to start, we waited for some seconds before he started a countdown. 3 . . . 2 . . 1 . . After 1, I started preparing myself to chant a Shadow Spell, [Shadow Clone], although it seemed like the [Shadow Clone Technique], it was in fact different, the [Shadow Clone] would make a clone that couldn''t move, couldn''t attack and could be destroyed easily but it was the basis to nearly every Shadow Spell. When the Countdown ended, The [Shadow Clone] appeared behind Teil, who immediately destroyed him by kicking into it, I took this chance to use the [Shadow Clone Technique], Teil who fought it was the same spell kicked into it yet again without using his full strength to not waste stamina. Teil was then surprised to see that the Clone caught his leg and started chanting a spell, while he was occupied with my clone, I chanted a Blood Spell, Blood element was a very strong Element but required Health to be used, the Blood Spell I chanted was [Blood Wave], I made it so that the power would be concentrated in one point, and this point was in the direction of my clone, who already finished the [Restraining Wood] Spell, when the [Blood Wave] reached my clone, he used [Full Counter]. The [Blood Wave] then got even stronger after the [Full Counter], it then reached Teil who took the attack head-on because he was stuck with the [Restraining Wood], although [Blood Wave] was so strong, I was sure that Teil would still be standing although injured. Like I thought, after the [Blood Wave] disappeared, one could see Teil standing but was covered in injuries, he seemed to be chanting a spell, I quickly made the Clones I prepared before appear, they all casted [HellFire Wall] to counter the spell that Teil would cast, I already knew that he had 2 Elements, one was [Ultimate Ice] and the other one was [Dark], The Ultimate version of an Element was just a stronger version but they were still inferior to the variant Element like [Absolute Zero] and [HellFire]. I still casted so much [HellFire Wall] even though the element was still stronger than his [Ultimate Ice] was because he already reached an incredible control over his 2 elements, he already reached the ability to fuse a bit the 2 elements, meaning that when he used a Dark Spell, he might succeed in putting the Ultimate Ice element inside of it. Considering the amount of time he took to cast the spell, he was probably trying to fuse the 2 elements, I still had no Skill or Spell to stop a chant and Teil already got used to pain because he was also trained by Kail. After he finished chanting his spell, one could see an Ice Dragon that seemed to have some shade of Purple, the [Dragon] spell was a spell that could be used by any Element and would have special effect with the different element, the Ice Dragon had an aura that could freeze things within it, the Dark element in it could weaken someone like a debuff in a game. Because of the Heat of the [HellFire Wall], I wasn''t frozen the moment the Dragon appeared but the Wall seemed to start being weakened, it was fine because the Dragon couldn''t last for minutes or hours because it would first cost a lot to create and then would cost a lot to maintain, Teil already tried to train the Ice Dragon spell so I knew that at most the Dragon would last 12 Seconds then he would lack mana. At this point it was just a battle of attrition, if it was my Walls or his Dragon that would last the longer, after 8 Seconds, my Walls started to crumble, at this point I already had a huge lack of mana, I removed every of my clones and hoped that my [Mana Regeneration] and my Ring would be sufficient to be able to regenerate enough of my Mana to cast more [HellFire Wall]. Obviously, with this, I made more [HellFire Wall] but it wasn''t enough for me to resist against the aura of the Ice Dragon so I just released [Destroy Five Elements]. When I released it, the aura seemed to have disappeared, I felt no more chill and it seemed like the temperature even went up, it was because of the HellFire element inside the [Destroy Five Elements] that seemed to have caused the Ice Dragon to lose all its strength, well it was not the HellFire element that caused it to lose all its strength but it was Teil that stopped the spell to make a lot of Wall to try to defend against the [Destroy Five Elements]. It was at this moment Kail reacted, he seemed to have felt the power of [Destroy Five Elements] and rushed on the arena to save Teil, when [Destroy Five Elements] reached him, a huge explosion happened and after the smoke dispersed, one could see Teil filled with injuries and Kail who was also filled with injuries and a blood puddle under him, he seemed to be heavily injured. Even though I felt kind of bad for using [Destroy Five Elements] even though it seemed this strong, I was also puzzled because Kail is a Rank-A but was still so Heavily Injured by [Destroy Five Elements], after thinking about it, it must be the blood of Teil and not Kail considering he would still be affected by the shock of the explosion, even I was injured by it. 32 Chapter 33 - Absorption Like I thought, Kail wasn''t really Heavily Injured but just suffered minor injuries and the blood puddle came from Teil, at this point, Kail called healing mages to come and heal Teil. He then came to me, "Grimson! Why did you use such a strong spell in a friendly match!" was the first thing he said to me, at this point I was already scared shitless because I didn''t want to get beaten up yet again, although my [Pain Resistance] reached the Max Level, I still wasn''t immune to pain. "Teacher, I didn''t think it was quite strong, I thought that the Dragon would''ve weakened the Spell''s strength" I lowered my head while saying that, this was just in hope that he could think that I was sorry for my act and would let me go. This didn''t work, he seemed to have seen through my plan and just started beating me up even harder than before, it seemed that because there was Healing Mage, he didn''t hold back anymore. I knew that would last for a while so I decided to take a look at the new notification of the System. {You Defeated Teil : - 1 Lottery Ticket - 7500 EXP {Defeating Someone 1 Rank Higher Than You : While I was getting beaten up, I was thinking about whether or not I should use the Silver Lottery Ticket. I decided to consult the people in my Sea of Consciousness because they might know about these 2 Special Banners and what kind of thing I could get, after deliberating, although some skill looked amazing like the [Conqueror Haki], I prefered waiting for more, then one of them reminded me of something important, the Banner already changed so I decided to take a look. {Lottery : Normal Skill Rebirth of the Thief who Roamed the World After looking at the name of the 2nd Special Banner, I was quite puzzled. [The 2nd Special Banner just put every Isekai into 1 Banner and by Cliche it means the regular Forever Virgin/Dude with a bad life that transmigrate into another world and become super strong, you know those kind of things] Yet again, the Old Guy helped me, with this, I used the Silver Lottery Ticket. {Lottery Results : Perfect Balance (Rank-SSS) Synthesis (Rank-???) {Because of [Synthesis], [Skill Fusion Function] has been unlocked. [Synthesis] has been absorbed by [Skill Fusion Function]. {Perfect Balance : Prevent one from feeling dizziness or motion sickness. One become immune to the effect of alcohol no matter the amount. {Word Element : {Word Magic : {Skill Fusion Function : By fusing 2 or more Skills, a new skill can be created. I was kind of disappointed considering that the Banner was an Unique one and although the skills were amazing, it didn''t seem as good as the Martial World Banner. After thinking for a bit, [Word Element] seemed to be really strong, it could possibly recreate the effect of every Element as long as I could master this Element, I could probably defeat a S-Rank just by using it. I then decided using the free upgrade of the [Skill Fusion Function], I added to the [Skill Fusion Function] the effect of reversing a Fusion, although the Fusion was free, the Reversion would cost Essences. I was obviously delighted but I couldn''t show it because getting beaten up and showing a delighted face is a bad idea if I want to keep the image of a [Hero]. After getting a beating, I returned to my room but while I was unlocked the door before I could open it, I received a notification, {Detected Bloodlust! the only thing that was ahead of me was my room, it was obviously an assassin that wanted to kill me, it seemed to have felt that I was going to unlock the door and released a trace of bloodlust, pretty bad Assassin if I were to say, probably the kind that would scream "DIE!" before attacking me. I used [Shadow Clone Technique] and started running away, from the distance, I opened the door using my Clone and waited to see what the Assassin was going to do, like I thought, the moment I opened the door, I heard a huge "DIE!" and a [Blood Ray] rushing toward the Clone, what I did was just Countering it toward the direction of the Scream, this time I heard another scream but it was a scream filled with pain, it seemed that I succeeded in hitting him. After some seconds, the scream ended, the Assassin seemed to have died, because it was a Clone, I just went directly toward the corpse, after taking a look at the corpse, he seemed to have actually died, while I was inspecting the corpse, I received another notification. {Detected Bloodlust! I took out [Ketsueki] and used the Blood Wave to attack behind me, I then quickly retrieved [Ketsueki] into the inventory, because the Notification didn''t disappear, it meant that the source of the Bloodlust still existed. This time, I didn''t held back and directly used Absolute Zero spell, it directly froze the other person and the Bloodlust then disappeared, although they were masked they were obviously Human. I then received Notifications for killing them. {You Killed 2 Rank-D Human : - 10.000 EXP - 1 Lottery Ticket Uh? WHAT! 33 Chapter 34 - I dont care, Im the Hero I obviously didn''t forget to use my [Stone Of Eternal Life] to take their memories, one of them was a mage and mastered the same spell as me so I didn''t get any improvement but the other one had the ability of [Stealth], I didn''t care much about it because I already got the Blessing of Luccrow so I already got the ability to hide in the darkness but I still kept in the back of my mind. After doing this, I then asked to Old Guy what was this thing with the Absorption [The reason why this is a Game-Like Fantasy is because habitants of this world also owns some kind of "Game System" although it is considerably weaker than yours. Only Human and Demons owns a system though, and the System can only absorb their ''system'' after killing one, the stronger the person killed, the more part the System absorb. At some point, The System will become upgradable, it means that you''ll be able to use [Upgrade] Function on the System] While listening to what the Old Guy said, I first thought that I got scammed and got a stupid System but then I got one question. ''What happened to the System I should''ve got when I was born?'' [It was absorbed by the System but you didn''t get the Notifications because ''The One Above All'' considered that you couldn''t have this information yet] ''Well it explains a lot then.'' While I was going through their belongings, I heard Footsteps, it seemed that people finally came after this huge scream. The Demons who came seemed to be worried and hurriedly asked "Young [Hero] ! Are you Okay ?!" "Were you attacked?!" "Are you hurt, do you need us, Healing Mages?!" I shook my head and thanked them for their concern, I then heard Kail''s Voice that asked me the same thing except that he would call me "Young Brat". This time, I acted like I was seriously injured so that I could try not to have training with this Old Bastard for a few days. I was surprised when he understood that I was faking my injuries, my [Lies] already reached the Level Max, I even got [Acting] from the [Craft and Art Academy] but he could still see through everything, I think that he must have some kind of special stat like "Perception". I decided to try to get "Perception" because it might be very useful when I''ll become stronger, to be used while trying to Spy other or during a fight to see the openings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 133 Days Later - I finally reached the B-Rank, in those 133 Days, no event occured like on my 10th Birthday, I only trained and ate. With the EXP I got from the Training Method, I level increased by 2 and I got 8 More attribute points. After I reached level 21, I received 3 notifications. {Reached Level 21! {Reached Level 21! {Reached Level 21! MAX Level is now 20! I first chose to unlock the [Azure Dragon], but I still received a Warning because although I unlocked it, this monster was still thousands of times stronger than me and so the use of [Azure Dragon] was limited to 1 Total Hour until I reached the sufficient Level. As for the 2nd Notification, I directly asked the Old Guy. [Ultimate Body is like the name says an ULTIMATE Body, something Ultimate can''t be just a boost of 150 Stats and % of immunity to special status but your body was still not strong enough for this huge amount of strength so the Ability got sealed until you got strong enough] Although the reasoning seemed logical, it was also illogical because Level just represented Talent and not actual strength. [Level can also represent the Growth of strength of an individual] Now that I knew the reason of the Seal Lifting, I looked at my status, the Stats that were normally at late B-Rank [With the Ultimate Body before Seal Lifting] reached Mid A-Rank after the Seal Lifted. [Ultimate Body]''s Effect now Doubled. I also trained all of my Abilities/Skill to Level 10 or more except for some that required special environment, too much skill proficiency or that would cause too much attention. Back to Present - Now that I''ve reached standard of B-Rank, the Demon King came to the [Sacred Temple] and asked me to follow him. To reach the place he was bringing me up to, we needed to use Horse, because I was always on carriage, I needed someone to teach me so I just asked Demon King''s help who accepted. I got the [Horse Riding] ability but I think my Image was destroyed because he was laughing during the whole teaching. I then followed him through a huge Icy Hill, at first I thought it was a land of Ice, but after going up on the hill, I could see a huge Volcano in a Land of Fire. "Fuck! What Kind of Place is this?" Was what I first said when I saw this Volcano. "This is a Land of Ice and Fire, also called the Land of Duality, here, you''ll do another round of training but this time you''ll have to survive, the point is to increase your combat experience and your survivability in the harshest condition, we''re obviously going to watch over you so that you don''t die because you''re still our [Hero] but we won''t intervene until you reach a condition we deem as critical" Answered the Demon King with a Smile. Hearing this, I decided to create a Clone that will stay in the Demon Empire so that I could still do things like Fishing or Cooking and I will also be able to get an unlimited amount of food in this kind of place. It might be cheating but I don''t care, I''m the [Hero]. 34 Chapter 35 - What A Strange Bunny The Demon King seemed to be quite puzzled as to why I created a Clone, after thinking for some minutes, I still found no way to bring this Clone back to the Demon Empire. I just gave a random bullshit reason like the Clone would be used to bring the Horse back to the Demon Empire or else it''ll be an inconvenience for them. With the current level of my [Disguise], the only way to see through it was to be atleast Late-B Rank or Early A-Rank which would be quite hard to find as they wouldn''t just randomly walk in the street. After they left, I decided to start by hunting some monsters, the monsters here were mostly Ice-Element or Fire-Element making them extremely weak toward Absolute Zero and HellFire. With this, I started massacring everything I saw, I killed Hundreds of monsters just by using those 2 Elements, I also didn''t forget to use my [Stone Of Eternal Life] on them, I eventually had to stop because of the harsh environment, my Fatigue would drain even faster and I also started to lack Mana. I decided to rest for a while, decided to take a look at what I got from this massacre. {You Killed 78 Rank-C and 53 Rank-B Monsters : - 1.840.000 EXP - 37 Lottery Tickets - 685.000 World Coins I directly used all of the EXP I have. {Reached Level 26! {Reached Level 25 [Or Higher]! I was pleased because I finally got the way to get a Class, but I wondered what was the difference between a Job and a Class. [A Class and a Job is technically the same, it''s just that a Class gives skill related to fighting abilities and a Job gives skill related to non-fighting abilities, they would both give Stat according to the nature of the Job/Class] After hearing the answer given by the Old Guy, I decided to just look at the Function. {Current Class : None Current Job : None Possible Job : [Cook], [Blacksmith], [Alchemist], [Tailor], [Weaver], [Jewelry-Maker], [Leather-Worker], [Drawer], [Sculptor], [Painter], [Troubadour], [Magic Blacksmith], [Magic Tailor], [Magic Weaver], [Magic Jewelry-Maker], [Magic Leather-Worker] Possible Unique Job : [Flesh Eater], [Language Master] Possible Class : [Warrior], [Assassin], [Swordsman], [Archer], [Fire Mage], [Earth Mage], [Wind Mage], [Water Mage], [Wood Mage], [Absolute Zero Mage], [HellFire Mage], [Light Mage], [Shadow Mage], [Dark Mage], [Blood Mage], [Beast Tamer] Every Class and Job were chosen according to my Skill/Abilities, it meant that even if I only had Mage Skill/Abilities, I could even have a class Like Swordsman as long as I had a even the most basic [Swordsmanship]. For my Job, I chose to take [Flesh Eater] because I already reached the Max Level of [Language Mastery] making it useless to have the unique job of [Language Master]. And for the Class, I took some minutes before finally choosing to take [Word Mage] as it would help me comprehend [Word Element], this was the hardest to master Element I have so [Word Mage] might give me a way to comprehend it and get more [Word Magic]. {Chosen Unique Job [Flesh Eater] : +1 Level to [Flesh Eating], Added Effect to [Flesh Eating] : {Chosen Unique Class [Word Mage] : Acquired [1 Word Magic]. Acquired [Air Writing], {1 Word Magic : Use 1 Word to cast a spell. Cast Time : None Cooldown Time : None Mana Cost : Dependant on Word Current Word Unlocked : {Air Writing : Like I thought, I finally got skill for the [Word Element]. I took a quick look at my current Mana and Fatigue, because it still wasn''t at an acceptable point yet, I decided to continue doing random things, I decided to look at the [Race] Function which I ignored till now. This Function allowed me to directly change my Race as long as I already became one of them once, I could also use them as long as I had enough World Coin or Essences to buy them but this way required me to do some special task before. It also allowed me to see special bonus of a race, Human didn''t seem to give a bonus stat or decreased any stat. Demon increased Magic and Strength by 10% but Dexterity, Agility and Stamina were decreased by 5%. All of the Race had something called [Racial Skill], they seemed to be inherently locked and I couldn''t unlock it even when I wanted to use World Coins or Essences. After that, I decided to use [Skill Fusion Function], but before, I decided to save just before I started fusing my skills. I first tried to fuse [Armor/Weapon Creation] with my [Blacksmithing]. {Fast Blacksmithing : Blacksmithing is now faster. The Minimal Rank of the created Armor/Weapon is now D-Rank Sub-Skill [Blacksmith''s Mind] : When Blacksmithing, You can enter a special State of Mind. Minimal Rank will now be DD-Rank Success Rate is Higher I was quite satisfied with this skill so I decided to save again before I would continue. I then fused [Perfect Balance] and [Ultimate Body], this made [Perfect Body]. {Perfect Body : +400 Strength +400 Vitality +400 Dexterity +400 Agility +400 Stamina Can''t be affected by a Special Condition anymore Once Per Week : While I was looking amazed at my new [Perfect Body], I heard the sound of a wolf howling, it seemed quite near so I decided to get prepared. After listening closely for a few seconds, It seemed to be 2 Monsters fighting, I thought of reaping the loot so I walked toward those 2 Monsters. I walked quickly toward their positions and saw 1 [Duality Bunny] and 1 [Ice Wolf], Although [Duality Bunny] should be normally stronger than the [Ice Wolf], it seemed to be the one losing. There was a cave near where they were fighting, it seemed to be a nest, probably the [Duality Bunny]''s nest. ''The [Duality Bunny] probably just gave births!'' I thought while my eyes started shining. When I went into the Nest using the actually useful [Stealth] Ability, I saw 3 Little Bunnies, it was a golden opportunity to level up [Animal Empathy] so I didn''t kill them and decided to help the [Duality Bunny] and directly killed the [Ice Wolf]. When I approached the [Duality Bunny], he seemed to be way too fearful. "Come on, little bunny, I''m a good man" I said while I was unintentionally grinning maliciously, I knew that he could understand because when reaching B-Rank, a monster got the ability to speak its own language but I had [Language Mastery] so that was fine. Strangely, after I said that, he was even more fearful, what a strange bunny. 35 Chapter 36 - Title Acquired : Baby Kidnapper Because of the fearful face of the [Duality Bunny], I''ve decided to ask advice in the [Sea Of Consciousness], after I reached [Advanced Memory] Level 10, the Consciousness seemed to be clearer, I could now see the shape of most of them but not their actual appearance. I decided to ask to one of the Consciousness with an appearance to help me. He told me that the best way to attract an animal was using Treats, I decidedy to use some of my World Coins to buy [Bunny Treat], after jshowing the Treat to the Bunny, it was even more fearful. "I-I do-don''t ta-taste . . g-good" Said the [Duality Bunny] who seemed to be about to cry. After hearing this, I decided to give up on trying to farm Skill Proficiency on this [Duality Bunny] and just quickly went back into the nest to steal a Baby Bunny before escaping. After escaping, I saw that I had some Notifications that I haven''t checked, I was quite puzzled but decided to open the Notifications. I was even more puzzled when I saw I just acquired the title for holding ''Full Affinity'' although I already knew about that when I was 3 Year Olds. ''Old Guy, How come I just Unlocked this title'' I asked [Before Unlocking a Class or a Job, one can only have 1 Title, because you got the [Fake Hero] title before getting the revelation of you holding the ''Full Affinity'', you couldn''t get it] While I was listening to his answer, I was checking the effect of each title. {Title : Full Element Affinity Holder : Effects : Every Non-Unique Element reach the Highest Level of Talent {Title : Unique Job Holder {Title : Unique Class Holder {Title : Skill Fuser {Title : Baby Kidnapper The [Full Element Affinity Holder]''s effect was awesome but I was a bit disappointed, I thought that to get the Perfect-Grade for the Element I would need to do a lot of quest but I just finished it by getting a title. [If you want I can delete this title] Oh . . Don''t, I don''t even want to remove [Baby Kidnapper] let alone [Full Element Affinity Holder]. If we think about it, [Baby Kidnapper] will allow me to easily blackmail people by kidnapping their baby. Now that I''ve stolen the baby of a [Duality Bunny], I needed to find a way to feed it. My clone still didn''t reach the Demon Empire so the only way I could get food was using the one I kept in the [Inventory] or using my World Coins in the [Shop]. When I was looking at the [Shop], one idea came into my mind, ''What if I used Essence to Upgrade the [Shop], What could I get?'', I decided to do that because it would only cost 1.500 Essences anyway. {Upgrade Shop : - New Tab : [Information] Because I still didn''t have enough World Coins to be able to buy B-Rank yet, I didn''t think of getting the 2nd Option but the 1st seemed perfect for the current situation. After Buying the [Information] Tab, I searched Information about the [Duality Bunny], I used 5.000 World Coins then got 100% Knowledge of the [Duality Bunny] in the [Beast Encyclopedia]. I now knew their average lifespan, what they ate, their average stats, I could even see their Name and Health Bar. Opposite to what I thought, [Duality Bunny] actually ate Meat, Wolf Meat. I decided to find some Wolf to Kill so that my new Sla- . . I mean my New Pet could eat. After the baby Bunny ate the food, it seemed to be less fearful of me and wouldn''t try to escape everytime I didn''t look at it, it would still try to escape obviously but not as much as before. Now, I needed to level up my new Class and Job, [Flesh Eater] was an easy Job to level considering I just needed to use [Flesh Eating], so everytime I ate meat from a Monster, it would give me Job EXP. Now, for [Word Mage], it would be harder considering I needed to use [Word Magic] to get Class EXP, considering I only had the word ''Explode'', it would be probably quite long before I reach the Max Level. So I decided to try a list of word to unlock them. The first word that seemingly had an effect was the word ''Restrain'', although it had an effect, it still wasn''t unlocked in the Skill Description of [Word Element], it seemed that I was doing it wrong so I decided to keep using the Word ''Restrain'', after using it for a couple of time, I saw that sometimes, the effect of ''Restrain'' was strong, sometimes it was weak. Continuing using ''Restrain'', I finally understood the reason of why it was sometimes weak and sometimes strong. At first, I thought that it was because of the Mana I used, and I was actually right but I didn''t do the good thing, I thought by using more Mana, it would be stronger but no. ''Restrain'' needed a specific amount of mana to reach the actual power of the words. Another Setting that I needed to master was the actual Word, it needed to be simply, perfect. Too Big? Wrong. Too Small? Wrong. The E wasn''t perfectly symmetrical? Wrong. After Hours of Use, I finally got the new word ''Restrain'' in my List of Usable words in [Word Magic]. {Name : Grimson EtherBlood Race : Mixed Race (Human/Demon) Level 26 (0/762.940) Class : Flesh Eater (Level 0), Word Mage (Level 0) Title : [True Demon Hero] EXP : 339.495 Health : 9500 Mana : 6525 Fatigue : 0 Special Condition : None Allocable Points : 218 Stat : Vitality : 1300 [1900] Strength : 1300 [2030] Dexterity : 1300 [1835] Agility : 1300 [1835] Magic : 1310 [1441] Wisdom : 1305 Stamina : 1300 [1835] Special Stat Defence : 1300 [1867] (93.3% Reduction) Luck : 5 Perseverance : 99 Will : 76 Training Method Body/Magic Training (Rank-EE),Body/Magic Training (Rank-DD), Body/Magic Training (Rank-B) Ability : Mana Control (Level 11 32%), (Weapons Mastery) (Level ???), (Elemental Mana Control) (Level 11 ???/???), Wind Spell (Level ???), Fire Spell (Level ???), Water Spell (Level ???), Earth Spell (Level ???), Wood Spell (Level ???), Pain Resistance (Level 10 55%), Parkour (Level 10 24%), Flesh Eating (Level 4 56%), Sea of Consciousness (Level MAX), Advanced Memory (Level 10 1%), Mana Regeneration (Level 10 4%), Gamer''s Mind (Level MAX), Detect Bloodlust (Level 1 0%), Language Mastery (Level MAX), Fishing (Level 10 0%), Cooking (Level MAX), Consciousness Splitting (Level MAX), Crafting (Level ???), Art (Level ???), Lie (Level 10 0%), Hand Nimbleness (Level 10 5%), Inspection (Level 10 5%), Magical Art (Level ???), Magical Crafting (Level ???), Shadow Spell (Level ???), Blood Spell (Level ???), Dark Spell (Level ???), Light Spell (Level ???), Absolute Zero Spell (Level ???), HellFire Spell (Level ???), Demon Hero (Level 0 0%), Luccrow''s Darkness Blessing (Level MAX), Animal Empathy (Level 0 0%), Stealth (Level 10 0%), Horse Riding (Level 0 0%), Perfect Body (Level 0 0%), Fast Blacksmithing (Level 0 0%) Skill : Elemental Mana (Level 11 ???/???), Elemental Mana Imbue (Level 11 ???/???), Armor/Weapon Creation (Level 10 0%), Shadow Clone Technique (Level 10 2%), Destroy Five Elements (Level 0 30%), Full Counter [Magic] (Level 1 29%), Tempest (Level 10 5%), Spirit Eyes (Level 0 0%), Angel (Level 0 0%), Armatization (Level MAX), Squire Pact (Level MAX), Spinning Mana Arrow (Level 10 9%), One Sword Style (Level 10 65%), Soru (Level 10 34%), Armament Haki (Level 10 12%), Rhythm Echo (Level 10 20%), Disguise (Level 10 0%) Unique Ability 36 Chapter 37 - Nature Abomination After I mastered ''Restrain'' and ''Explode'', I decided to try Mastering 2 Other word, ''Blaze'' and ''Freeze'', althought it won''t be as efficient as Absolute Zero or HellFire, it should be enough for me to be able to kill some monster and get Class EXP. After Mastering ''Blaze'' and ''Freeze'', I decided to take yet another rest because it was already night and I started lacking mana. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day - With My 4 Mastered Words, I was able to kill every monster I encountered, my battle plan was simple, I would first start by using ''Explode'' to stun the enemy, after that I would just ''Restrain'' them and then use Word of Fire or of Ice depending on the Type of the Monster. I decided to give every Wolf Meat to the Baby Bunny which I decided to call ''Bunave'', it was made from 2 Words, Bunny and Slave but don''t tell Bunave about it. Although I did that, my [Animal Empathy]''s Skill Proficiency didn''t seem to increase, I decided to put on an act, I did like in a certain anime. First - Make Lot of Monster try to attack you Second - Act like you were helpless Third - Act like you were going to save Bunave at the cost of your life Fourth - Be sure that Bunave sees nothing then kill every monsters Fifth - Reaps the [Animal Empathy]''s Skill Proficiency. After following this plan, Bunave wasn''t as cold as she was in the past, now everytime I gave her some Wolf''s Meat, I could now get Skill Proficiency. With this done, I decided to start Eating, I didn''t forget to take some Dung for my [Strength Beetle], [Working Beetle] and [Re-Creation Beetle], after me and my Beetle finished eating, I saw that they seemed to be shining, when I saw their ''Status'', I saw that their Level was stuck at 10 and that a new thing was written at the bottom of it, "Evolution is now possible". After seeing that, I wondered how to actually Evolve them, soon after, I thought of just something in the line of ''Strength Beetle, Evolve'', after that, [Strength Beetle] started shining even more, this light was so strong that it blinded me, after I recovered my sight, I saw that in the place of the [Strength Beetle], I saw a Huge Beetle that looked to be made of Iron. It directly became a Rank-D Monster [Iron Beetle]. After Understanding how to Evolve them, I evolved [Re-Creation Beetle] and [Working Beetle], [Re-Creation Beetle] didn''t seem to have changed except that it now had a [Mana Heart] making it able to use Mana now, as for [Working Beetle], the Evolution was really strange, it went from a [Giant Beetle] to an [Alpha Ant], a Rank-D Monster, I then re-named him [Nature Abomination]. After thinking for a bit, the Evolution Path seemed to be according to the [Unique Skills] owned by the monster. I now decided to have [Nature Abomination] eat Monster''s Dung that would increase the Dexterity and Agility, [Strength Beetle] would eat Monster''s Dung that would increase Strength, Stamina and Vitality as for [Re-Creation Beetle], it would now only focus on eating Monster''s Dung increasing Magic and Wisdom. While I was looking at the [Monster] Function, I decided to destroy some of them and extract the skill that seemed good. I got 30.000 more Essences and some more Skills, their were 2 skills that increased my Resistance to the environment, [Cold Resistance] and [Heat Resistance], 1 Skill called [Dodge] that allowed me to Dodge in one direction, the dodge would take nearly 1 Second, another one was [Dash], it would make me have a 50% speed boost for 10 Seconds and my last and strongest one, [Battle Instinct], it was quite hard to describe it, it would allow me to have some kind of foresight that would let me predict the possible moves of the enemy, it didn''t allow me to foresight the direct move that the enemy would use though. Those skills were mainly [Skill Fusion] ingredients except for [Battle Instinct]. {You Fused [Cold Resistance] and [Heat Resistance] : {You Fused [Dodge] and [Dash] : {Quick Dodge : Dodge quickly in 1 Direction Cooldown Time : 30 Seconds I continued killing enemy but this time, I decided to make use of my monster, although I now had reduced amount of EXP when I killed a monster, I decided to just let that happen because I wanted to make Monster that would actually be useful when I fought and not just be Skill Giver. I had no problem while farming because my Body already surpassed S-Rank but although it surpassed S-Rank, I would probably get destroyed in a fight by a person of an Humanoid Race who just reached a S-Rank Body because I only have Magical Skill making me actually useless in a close-ranged combat. But a scenario like this would probably never happen considering that in this world, only people of low-status like Soldier or Commoner would train Physical Skill because the Magic was simply too important in a fight, a Master of the Explosion Element could simply destroy an Army of Soldiers by himself, this caused the Physical Skill to be lost throughout the year, making someone who trained his physical body to be only at B-Rank at the max. But it was still possible that it would happen considering that the last [Hero] was considered to have an Unrivalled Body but had no magic power, I would probably be unable to kill him except if my Magic and Wisdom Reached S-Rank. After countless hours of Killing, my Class [Word Mage] finally leveled up. {Word Mage Leveled up! Magic and Wisdom Increase by 30! Acquired : [Word Propulsion] {Word Propulsion : After a Word is written into the Air, it can be propulsed toward someone, after the Word comes into contact, it will automatically activate Mana Cost : 300 Cooldown Time : None 37 Chapter 38 - Pay To Win! After my [Word Mage] leveled up, I decided to check my loot. {You Killed 175 Rank-C and 119 Rank-B Monsters - 4.180.000 EXP - 3 Lottery Tickets - 1.985.000 World Coins Because of the huge mana consumption of the [Word Magic], I used more than 300.000 World Coins and bought [Mana Potion], luckily, my Wisdom increased after [Word Mage] leveled. After thinking more about this, I decided to look at the cost of the A-Rank [Body/Magic Training Method], it would cost me more than 100 Millions World Coins, after doing some maths, if I were to keep this pace, in 50 Days, I would get the Training Method but it was too long for me so I decided to upgrade [Class/Job Function] first because it might allow me to level up faster and so get the Stat faster. {You Upgrade Class/Job Function, Choose One : - EXP Conversion to Class/Job EXP, rate 250.000 EXP to 1% Job EXP Although the Second Option seemed good, the First option remained the better one although I still needed some EXP to lift some Seal of [Perfect Body] and also to get a higher Max Level, in the end, I still chose to get the First Option because I could still get some EXP by killing in the [Land of Duality]. I decided to first level 2 Times before using the rest of my EXP to add EXP to my [Flesh Eater] Job. {You Reached Level 28! 2.617.395 EXP Remaining! {You Used 2.500.000 EXP! My [Flesh Eater] Job already reached 92% Job EXP, I decided to eat till I die, although I succeeded in leveling my Job, I felt like I was going to die, the good thing is that I also got a new Ability. {OverEating : When Eating, Food Can Be Stockpiled As Health and Mana Max Mana Stockpiled : 250 {[Flesh Eater] Leveled Up ! Every Stats Increase By 10 ! [Flesh Eating] Acquired A New Effect : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Years Later - During those 3 Years, all I did was killing, I succeeded in getting SSS-Rank [Body/Magic Training Method], with this training method, I reached 1850 in every of my stats and my Level reached 35, contrary to what I thought, my Skill Max Level didn''t become 30 and the seals of the [Perfect Body] weren''t lifted. After Reached Level 35, I''ve decided to use all of my EXP to increase my Job and my class, both reached level 10 . {[Flesh Eater] Leveled Up 9 Times! Every Stats Increase by 90! [Flesh Eating] Effect Increase : 20% To Get a skill Owned by the Eaten Flesh {[Word Mage] Leveled Up 9 Times! Magic and Wisdom Increase by 270! Acquired : [Unlimited Word Magic], [Simultaneous Writing] {Simultaneous Writing : {Unlimited Word Magic : Can Link Multiple Words to cast spell Cast Time : Depending On The Word and the Numbers Cooldown Time : None Mana Cost : Depending on the Word and the Numbers Current Word Unlocked : Yin, Yang, Space, Time and Extreme were all words that required to be chained, they couldn''t be used on its own, as an exemple, I could do a chain like [Time Stop], although it would cost a huge amount of mana. After both reached level 10, I got the ability to get a new class and a new job, after changing, I didn''t lose any stat neither did I lose any skill. I chose the Class [Luccrow''s Chosen] and the job [Gamer], [Gamer] gave me a [Pain Immunity] and gave me the new special stat [Perception], I was kind of disappointed when I got it, I tried to get it for Years but I got it just by choosing a Job, [Luccrow''s Chosen] gave me [Night Vision], when it was Night, I could see like it was the day. With my S-Rank Strength, I decided to leave the [Land of Duality] and ran back to the [Demon Empire], when I reached there, I went to search the [Demon King], I saw him sweating bullets. "What is happening here? Why are you sweating bullets?" I said while looking puzzled "Human started the War, their troops are marching toward the Empire! But why are you here [Hero], shouldn''t you be at the [Land Of Duality]?" He said continuing sweating but this time a rather worried look started appearing. "I already reached S-Rank, I can fight in this war Now!" After the Demon King heard what I said, he showed a delighted expression, he then proceeded to give me a territory, he then made me the commander of an army and gave me a territory within the Empire, I was quite puzzled, as to why he would give me an army and a territory when I just got the strength but no actual knowledge about how to make use of it. When I was about to question his decision, I got a System Notification. {You Received A Territory! After I received this Notification, I directly opened the [Kingdom Building Function]. This Function allowed me to Build special Facilities using World Coins, there were Ressource Facilities, Defence Facilities, Training Facilities . . . I first decided to create a Training Facility, a [Gym], when someone trained inside this [Gym], he would receive [Strength], [Stamina] and [Speed] Faster, I created the [Gym] within the zone allocated to the Army, I then got a notification that the [Gym] was being created, I then decided to create some Magic Cannon that would help defend the Territory, when I wanted to create it, I got a message. {You can''t Create More than 1 Facility at a time! To Fix This, You can Build [Builder''s House]! ''Oh Fuck, [Kingdom Building Function] is a Pay2Win!'' 38 Chapter 39 - The 13 S-Rank Champions I used 100 Essences to finish the Creation of the [Gym], I then created 5 [Builder''s House] near the Capital of my Territory, this cost me 1.000 More Essences. I then started the Creation of 6 [Magic Cannons] on the Walls of the Territory. During the time I was creating [Magic Cannons], I received message that the Human Troops were marching toward my Territory, when I received this, I decided to speed up the creation of [Magic Cannons], I then continued creating Cannon near the place where the Human Troops would attack. When the Human Troops finally reached the Walls of my Territory, I already got Dozens of Cannons Aiming toward them, they stopped and the one in front started speaking. "Demons! If you give up now, We Won''t Ki-" Before he finished Speaking, I already sent an ''Extreme Explode'' that destroyed a lot of their soldiers. When the Human Commander heard the Explosion, he decided to start the assault immediately. I got Archers all over the walls, they were equipped with the DD-Rank Bows I created, the stronger Soldiers used the Cannons to shoot toward the Human Army. The Enemy Army continued running toward Walls, they started setting up explosive to destroy the Wall, it seemed that they underestimated this place and only sent low-rank Soldiers and Mages. While they were trying to destroy our walls, I used my [Disguise] and hid myself within the Humans, I did this so I could get their commander as an hostage. While Cannons and Arrows shot near me, I kept on advancing near the Commander, when I got the occasion, I would also kill a Soldier near me. When I got near the Commander, I quickly used ''Restrain'' on him and used ''Speed'' on me and ran back toward the Walls while removing my Disguise, when the Archers on the Wall with their high eyesight saw me, they stopped shooting toward me. After getting their commander, I just used multiple ''Extreme Explode'' on the army and killed all of the Soldiers. I then ran with the Commander towards the Barracks of the Torturer, While I was waiting outside, I heard multiple scream, Soon after, the Torturer left his Barracks. "Sir, the enemy Commander spoke, the Humans already unfroze the Last [Hero], He will take part in the next assault which will start in 4 Days!" Said the kneeling Torturer with a grim face. When I heard that, I showed a delighted face, I didn''t want to continue this war, if I killed the Last [Hero], I could probably end this war. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Days Later - During those 4 Days, I continued using the [Kingdom Building Function] to create numerous Facility, such as a Golem Factory, that would let me create Golem that would help me defend the territory. I also created numerous Weapon and Armor for the strongest in my Army, I also created some for my Monster, after 3 Years of Training, [Strength Beetle] became a [Two-Headed Troll King], [Re-Creation Beetle] became a [Formless Magic King] and [Nature Abomination] became a [Winged Ant King]. After preparing everything, I quickly went toward the Walls and prepared a [Destroy The Five Elements]. When the Army finally arrived, the same scene happened again, their commander started speaking while I finished my cast and sent it toward my clone who used [Full Counter] and sent it toward the enemy. [Destroy Five Elements] razed through the Army, it left only Thousands of Soldiers, they were the one at the rear or at the side but except them, their were 13 Humans that would''ve normally died but were still alive with only minimal injuries. It should be the S-Rank Human Champion the [Demon King] told me about, when the Soldiers saw the destruction caused by my spell, they started running away and only the S-Rank Champion stayed. I summoned [Re-Creation Beetle], [Nature Abomination] and the [Strength Beetle], their strength were only that of someone that just reached S-Rank making them a bit weaker than the S-Rank Champion of the Humans but due to the damage the S-Rank Champions received my 3 Summons got some advantages in a one on one. I used the Words ''Space Lock'' on 9 Champions making them impossible to move, after that, I quickly went toward one of the Enemy and sent my Monsters toward the Others. Due to my overwhelming Strength, the one I fought got easily beaten up, after he died, I continued with the 9 others until they all died. [Re-Creation Beetle] fought against a Champion that had affinity with [Holy] Element, this Element was particularly strong against [Re-Creation Beetle], this caused my Beetle to be in a disadvantageous position but thankfully, the Wand I created for him allowed him to compensate for that. [Re-Creation Beetle] was particularly sly and liked to use [Illusion Element] to confuse the enemy, he used in a way so that the Enemy couldn''t be sure if he was in an Illusion or if it was reality, using it, he made the S-Rank Champion so confused that he let his guard down, [Re-Creation Beetle] then used [Formless Magic Sword] and directly killed his enemy. [Strength Beetle], although he was too slow and couldn''t get to the enemy''s position, due to his incredible regenerative ability, he was able to keep regenerating and this caused the enemy to lose all of his mana, causing the [Strength Beetle] to be able to dash toward him and directly kill him. As For, [Nature Abomination], due to his incredible Speed, he succeeded in dodging every attack the Enemy sent toward him and killed the Enemy by biting him. After killing every S-Rank Champions, I saw someone running toward me and my Monsters, he looked to be even stronger than the Champions we killed, it was the Last [Hero]. With his sword infused with Holy Power, he slashed horizontally, I dodged by jumping backwards, it was then a Ray of Holy Power came out of his sword and hit me and my monsters, when I got hit, I created numerous Clones, I then used my [Formless Magic King] to use his strongest spell toward one of the Clone, this clone then used [Full Counter] and sent it toward another clone who did the same thing till every clone used [Full Counter], the last clone then sent the Spell toward me who used [Full Counter] yet again and sent it toward the Last [Hero]. Due to me being near the Explosion, I also received damage from the attack, after the smoke of the attack dispersed, I saw the Last [Hero] that looked like he was about to die but I also saw another person, she seemed to be chanting a spell, when I saw that, I received a bad feeling, this feeling came from the possibilities that appeared with the [Battle Instinct] ability, in one of the possibility, she used her life to completely heal the Last [Hero], if I were to let this happen, I would probably Lose this fight. 39 Chapter 40 - Upgrade! I condensed a [Blood Ray] and aimed it toward the Girl that tried to save the [Hero], even though I got S-Rank Magic Stats, the [Blood Ray] didn''t seem to have damaged the Girl in anyway but the [Hero] seemed to be the one damaged, he protected the Girl. I decided to use ''Extreme Speed'' on myself and ''Extreme Extend'' on my Sword, I then rushed toward the both of them when the blade was about to touch the Girl, The [Hero] jumped in and saved the Girl yet again. After that, I could see the Girl starting to look older while the [Hero] seemed to be healing, the chant was finished. When the [Hero] Totally healed up, he looked at me with a cold expression showing no sign of grief toward the Girl that healed him, soon after, he rushed at me, before he could attack me, I decided to use Essences to upgrade [Word Magic], I got with this, the ability to use words without them activate automatically. While I was Upgrading, the [Hero] successfully reached a range where he could attack me, due to ''Extreme Speed'' still being in-use, I dodged his attack, with the help of [Battle Instinct], I predicted his next attacks and dodged them, while I was dodging, I commanded my clones to put numerous ''Extreme Explode'' unto one of my clone. I then used the Skill [Clone Shift] that I got after upgrading [Shadow Clone Technique] during my 3 Years in the [Land Of Duality], this skill allowed me to switch place with one of my clone. I switched place with the clone that had ''Extreme Explode'' on his body, when the Clone shifted place, he directly rushed toward the [Hero] and used ''Extreme Spark'' on himself before every ''Extreme Explode'' activated. At this moment, an explosion so strong that just the shockwave destroyed all of my Clones happened. I was sure that he died because of the Notifications I received, {You Killed 35.189 F-Rank, 7.154 E-Rank, 4.689 D-Rank, 2.782 C-Rank, 1.695 B-Rank, 236 A-Rank, 13 S-Rank Humans : - 900.000.000 EXP - 480.000.000 World Coins {You Killed the Previous [Hero] : - 50.000.000 EXP {Special Achievement : Kill an [Hero] {Hero Killer I : Although I got a lot of World Coins and EXP, the World Coins were honestly not enough for myself to buy Skill of Rank-S or more, what I wanted the most was upgrading my System, after I saw the notification that it was upgradable I directly used 20.000 Essences to upgrade it. I decided to refuse until I finished the war, I then took out the [Stone Of Eternal Life] to get the Memories of every person that died, most of them weren''t important, what interested me the most were the memories of the Girl that healed the [Hero], the [Hero], the 13 Champions and the Transmigrator. I got more than 100.000 Skills that were sent to the Trash. The Skills I kept were, [Sacrifice Regeneration], this was the spell used by the Girl, I kept it considering that the Clone I create were considered a Life and I could then sacrifice them to heal myself. [Elemental Slash], this was the skill used by the [Hero] that sent a Wave of Holy Power toward me after he slashed toward me. [Skill Steal], Skill from the Transmigrator, Allows me to have a chance to steal 1 Skill from someone. [Appraisal], another Skill from the Transmigrator. [Body Reinforcement Magic], Skill that allows me to reinforce my Body making it stronger faster more resilient . . And [Fast Regeneration], this Skill upgraded by 50% the regeneration of my Health. After I successfully killed the Human''s Army, I readied mine and we started marching toward the Humans'' Territory. We easily razed through a lot of Kingdom inside the Empire, this allowed us to extend our territory to the point where the Center of the Empire where the Palace and the Church stayed was totally surrounded by us. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day - It was now time for the Final Assault, Armies commanded by S-Rank Champions would surround the Walls of the Center and would then rush toward either the Palace or the Church, the point was to kill the High Priest and the Emperor, after their deaths, We would''ve officially won this war. While we entered the City, I''ve had a bad premonition, the entire city was empty, not a single person could be seen, I directly rushed toward the Palace, when I entered it and saw that it was empty, my face turned grim and I rushed toward the Church. When I entered the Church that was in the form of a Tower, I saw numerous Demons and Humans fighting, I didn''t have time and quickly rushed to the stairs and continued until I found the other S-Rank Champions that were fighting 1 Young Man and 1 Old Guy, I decided to use numerous Spinning Mana Arrow toward the 2 Persons, because they were caught off-guard, they suffered damages, after I saw them damaged, I went to the stairs yet again. At this Floor, I saw a huge circle on the floor with many treasures within it and the High Priest that was chanting a spell. When I saw that, I directly used [Destroy Five Elements], while I was casting [Destroy Five Elements], the High Priest stopped his chant and a blinding light appeared. During this time, my [Destroy Five Elements] was ready and I directly launched it, I heard a huge scream that stopped after some seconds, it seemed that the High Priest died. When the Light went dim, I saw the body of the dead High Priest and a Human with 2 Wings at the place where the treasures were, it was an Angel. The Angel looked at me with clear Disdain and Contempt while it was ascending toward the roof of the Church, then numerous spell flew down toward me, those spells were incredibly fast, although I succeeded in dodging those spells, I was quite annoyed at how cowardly he was so I used [Corrupted Angel] that allowed me to grow wings too. "You Lowly Demon!" Said the angel with apparent anger After it said that, it launched numerous stronger spells of Holy Power toward me, due to me not normally using [Corrupted Angel], I was clumsy with it and got hit, what I expected was being gravely hurt but although I was hurt, it was small injuries, in fact, it felt pretty good, I also received a notification. {You Absorbed Holy Power, It seemed that [Corrupted Angel] allowed me to absorb part of the Holy Power that was sent toward me, it looked like although it became Corrupted, it still kept the attribute of Holy Power? After seeing that, I grinned, when the Angel saw me grinning, he started showing fear . . . He must be the friend of the Strange Bunny 40 Chapter 41 - Anger With the absorption of Holy Power by [Corrupt Angel], I could now freely attack the Angel. The Angel, Obviously annoyed by the fact that I wasn''t damaged by his spell started charging toward me, it seemed that it wanted to fight me bare-handed, I was really surprised. I obviously tried to block this attack but I didn''t expect the Angel to have such strength, just this attack made me lose 1000 Health, the Angel also received damage due to my 5% Damage Reflection. When I saw the damage of this attack, my face went serious and I used [Demon Overlord], the skill that allowed me to become 20% Stronger, [Armatization], [Elemental Mana Imbue], [Tempest], [Elemental Slash], [Body Reinforcement Magic] and [Armament Haki] while I was strengthening myself, the Angel seemed to be chanting a spell that would strengthen allow it to strengthen itself, because I already finished using my Skills, I was about to attack the Angel when I remembered one thing, [Appraisal]. After remembering this, I directly used [Appraisal] on the Angel {Name : Timar Race : Angel Level : 39 Class/Job : Paladin (Level 10), Holy Mage (Level 10) Title : [Race Exterminator] Health : 13475 Mana : 15000 Special Condition : Low Anger [+200 Strength/Magic] Vitality : 2695 Strength : 3050 [3250] Agility : 2950 Dexterity : 1390 Magic : 2950 [3150] Wisdom : 2850 Stamina : 3000 Ability : Holy Mana Control, Holy Mana Resistance, Holy Spell, Flight, Holy Imbue, Bare-Handed Fighting, Human Deterrence, Light Mana Absorption, Ultra Wing Regeneration Skill : Holy Punch, Holy Kick, Holy Reinforcement, Fast Flight, Unique Skill/Ability : None of the Skill or Abilities seemed to interest me except [Anger] so I decided to Steal it but before I could I received a Notification. { You Can''t Steal An Unique Skill Yet! Upgrade [Skill Steal] ! Because of my Lack of Essences, I used every Skill Lottery Tickets I had, due to the 3 Years in the [Land Of Duality], I already knew that the Skills in the lottery were almost always Trash, the rate of a Good Skill was less than 1%. {You Used 49 Skill Lottery Tickets ! You Destroyed 48 Skills ! You Received 3.000 Essences ! You Upgraded Skill Steal ! You Can Now Steal Unique Skill ! Out of the 49 Skills, Only one attracted my attention, [Mind Reinforcement Magic], I directly Fused it with [Body Reinforcement Magic] and got [Reinforcement Magic]. {Anger : {Reinforcement Magic : While I was still looking at the status, The Angel took this chance to attack me directly, due to the skill I used, I thought that I would be considerably stronger than the Angel but when I took a look at the Angel''s Stats, I saw that he got even stronger than before, it seemed that the spell he used was of a very high rank. I used [Soru] and directly attacked the Angel''s Head, due to the high speed of the attack, the Angel couldn''t react and got hit, he started getting angrier, but at the same time he looked surprised, he seemed to have found out that the effect of his unique ability [Anger] disappeared. I then started using my Sword to slash toward him, due to his high strength, he got the ability to block my sword everytime, during those clash, I found a new use to [Battle Instinct], this ability could also see the Weak Point, the Weak Point of the Angel was the Wing. I directly used the skill [One Sword Style] to use [Flying Dragon Blaze], an attack where the wound would start burning, when the Angel saw his Wing starting to burn, he cut off the part of the wing that started burning without hesitation through pain could be seen in his eyes. After he cut off the wing, he used an Healing Holy Spell to grow back the Wing even faster. Seeing that, I decided to try to directly destroy the ''root'' of the wings, I created Multiple Clones, although they weren''t strong enough to damage the Angel, they were enough to confuse him, the Multiple Clones all casted ''Extreme Speed'' on themselves while one of the Clone used ''Space Lock'', after that, every clones ran toward the Angel and used ''Extreme Burn'' or ''Extreme Blaze'' toward the Root of the wings. A While After, ''Space Lock'' stopped and the Angel started screaming in pain, while screaming, he looked at me and my clone with hate in his eyes, he mustered all his strength to attack me and my clones. He easily killed my Clones in 1 Hit but this also caused him to receive damages, not long after he started killing everyone, his wings finally burned, due to him losing his Wings, he fall and took even more damage. I decided to look at his Status with [Appraisal] yet again, His stats all went down to ~2000 and he received a special Condition [Wingless Angel], that caused his stat loss. With this special Condition, I easily killed him and received all of his skills/abilities. {You Killed a Mid-Class Angel : - Teleporter to Angel Continent - 1 Lottery Ticket - 1.000.000 EXP When I saw the Loot, I was amazed and shocked, I thought to myself ''So The Rumors were true!'' The Rumor I was talking about was that the ''Human Empire'' and the ''Demon Empire'' weren''t the only Empire existing and that we were just the small place of a bigger world, this [Teleporter to Angel Continent] showed that other continent existed. But what puzzled me was how the strength was classified, The Angel that was way stronger than an S-Rank was considered to be just a Mid-Class. [Low-Class : About Higher Than S-Rank Mid-Class : 3.000 Stats High-Class : 4.000 Stats After getting my answer, I started the Upgrade of the System. While the System was Upgrading, I took control of the Last Part of the Human Empire, after that, I quickly went to the Library, although the System couldn''t be used, I didn''t lose my [Quick-Learning] though, I got new knowledge with this. One was quite interesting, [The Forbidden And the God Elements], there was 5 Elements that were forbidden due to their power, one that held Affinity toward this element would normally be killed, I obviously held affinity toward those elements so I was kind of scared of knowing that I could''ve died if anyone that wasn''t related in any way to me knew about my Full Affinity then there was 1 Element that was considered to be a God Element. when one owned this element, he would be considered to be the Heaven''s Child. The 5 Forbidden Elements were : Void, Death, Time, Space, Gravity Space controlled the Matters, allowed one to Destroy, Create, Move, Modify. Time Controlled the Flow of time, Reversing it, Advancing it, Stopping it. Void Was only useful for 1 Thing, Make Something go to a State of Nothingness Death Was Used to Kill, when someone was born with Affinity to Death Element, he would owns an aura that would cause living to die faster, A Dagger filled with Death Element Could even kill an S-Rank Champion. There was a story about a Kid being born with Death Element in a Small Village, His aura caused the Vegetables to die and made everyone in his village have weaker vitality causing everyone to die during the Winter Gravity was a Semi-Forbidden Element, although it was strong, it wasn''t as strong as the other Forbidden Elements, it allowed one to control the Gravity. The Only God Element : Life Life was the opposite of Death, The one being born with it would have an Aura of Life, this aura caused one to have stronger vitality, it sped up the growth of the vegetables, could heal others, it was the only counter to the Death Element. Life And Death were Elements that would never be born at different time, when someone with Life Element was born, one with Death Element would be born too, at this moment it would be a true Witch Hunt. 41 Chapter 42 - Gate of Emperor Due to my Full Affinity, I got all of those Elements, I didn''t receive any of the ''Life Aura'' or ''Death Aura'' because I had both Elements, making them counteract each other. Due to the System still upgrading, I decided to see the Demon King, "Old King, Now that we''ve won the War, what will you do to the Humans?" He seemed to have expected me to ask that and said. "I want to create a Society where Demons and Humans can live freely without discrimination so I will treat the Humans like they were citizens of my Demon Empire" He had good project but he had no idea where to start so I helped him using my countless consciousness, during the time we were making the new laws, one of my consciousness thought of making them drink Demon''s Pure Blood to make Humans become Half-Human Half-Demon and make the Demon drink Human''s Pure Blood to become Half-Demon Half-Human. The Demon King was obviously against this idea, but this gave me an idea, I decided to quickly go to the Angel''s body, although the Angel lost a huge part of his strength, he was still stronger than everyone here and the S-Rank Champion were all weakened so the Body was just carried away and couldn''t be studied. When I found the Angel''s Body, I quickly cut open the Abdomen, to find his ''Pure Blood'', the ''Pure Blood'' was the drop of blood that could change the race of someone, the Pure Blood was located in a specific area in the body, someone only had 1 Drop of Pure Blood at a time, when the drop of Pure Blood was lost, one would get extremely weakened and it would take 1 Month until the Drop was regenerated. 15 Drops were required to change one''s race, it would require me to kill 14 Angels to get the new race [Angel]. After obtaining the drop of Pure Blood, I directly consumed it because it would still give some benefits, soon after consuming it, I felt a rather familiar energy that flowed through my body, this energy came from the drop of blood, I decided to see if [Corrupt Angel] had any changes due to the Holy Aura of the Blood. [Corrupt Angel] who before had some kind of Shadowy Aura seemed to be glowing with what seemed to be Holy Power, when I tried to fly, I found out that the wings were faster. I then tried every skill containing Holy Power such as [Holy Kick], [Holy Punch] . . . . Although I didn''t use [Holy Kick] or [Holy Punch] before, from what I saw while trying the other skills, the Holy Power''s effects were stronger. After the series of test, I went to sleep. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Next Day - {Choose 1 : Second Body : When you Die, Your Spirit will be sent to your 2nd Body, it can also be used as a vessel to spirit Train! Sleep! : You''ll be able to train while sleeping [Auto-Farm Function] : Send a Clone with 80% of Your strength that will Farm in an Area, EXP and Loot won by him will be reduced by 50%, the Clone doesn''t give Skill Proficiency, when the Clone dies, it''ll be unusable for 1 day. {Due to System''s Current Level, {Lottery Can Now Have Game Banner ! {As Compensation, Skill''s Level Limit is now 100 ! After Reaching 100, {You Upgraded the System For The First Time, Although [Second Body] was an interesting thing, due to me having unlocked and upgraded [Save/Load Function], when I died, I got the ability to load a previous save so [Second Body] was basically pointless except if I used it as a vessel. [Train ! Sleep !] allowed me to train my Skill Proficiency and [Auto-Farming Function] allowed me to get EXP, Loot and Job EXP, between the 2, with my 950 Millions EXP, Skill Proficiency seemed to be more attracting so I chose [Train ! Sleep !]. After chosing it, I got a new ability in my Status, causing it to be able to be upgraded, it seemed that I chose the best thing. After choosing, I decided to take a look at [Streaming Function], it allowed me to stream like the name said, when I used this, a live stream would be created in multiple worlds, the viewers could be regular people, cultivator, magician and even God, they could send me gift such as Skill, World Coins, Items . . At this moment, I had nothing interesting that could be streamed so I didn''t immediately use it. I decided to wait until the ''Gate of Continent'' appeared, this was a gate that only 1 person could use, any person that used it would never return so multiple theories appeared, some said it lead to death, some said it would lead to a paradise so nobody wanted to return and some said that it would lead to the others continent. I was obviously part of the 3rd theory so I decided to wait until it appeared to start streaming because it would be way more interesting, the Gate would appear once every 5 Years, it would now appear in 3 Months, I didn''t want to use the Ticke because I consider that I was at odds with the Angels so I will only use the Ticket when I will want to kill all of them --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Months Later - During those 3 Months, I mostly trained [Stealth] and [Disguise], the point was that if it the Gate really lead me to a dangerous place, I would need those 2 Skills to escape. I eventually trained those [Stealth] to level 100 and my Power was now hidden, one couldn''t see my Rank except if I wanted to let them know. When [Disguise] Reached Level 100, it evolved and became [Fake], I still had the ability to change my body but I now also had the ability to change the appearance of an Item. I created a clone that would stay in the Empire, the reason I made this clone was 1st because I wanted to know what was happening in the Empire and I could use ''Clone Shift'' in time of need and 2nd, I was the one responsible for the safety of the Empire, if I were to suddenly disappear, it would probably cause chaos within the Empire. I then used the [Streaming] Function to activate my Livestream but before I could, I received a Notification. Fuck! I still need to create an account! 42 Chapter 43 - Handsome Grimson I quickly created my account, the username was "Handsome Grimson" and I decided to put a clickbait title such as "OMG, LOOK AT THIS (GONE WRONG)" to get more viewers but it surprisingly didn''t work so I just decided to put a "." as the title as I had no idea what could attract viewers. After launching the Stream, I started to go to where the ''Gate of Emperor'' appeared, I created some obstacles beforehand using my [Monster Function]. I continued running toward the Gate until I heard the notification and saw the number "1" next to the viewer''s number, when the viewer called "BiggraLover69" joined, he directly sent a message, "What is this live about?", thinking for a bit, I decided to say that it should be "Adventure", he seemed to be quite puzzled at my answer considering he sent rows of "?". "Just keep watching, you''ll understand" After saying that, I ordered using [Telepathy] my [Formless Magic King] to attack me, this was one of my fake obstacle that would be used to entertain my viewers, well this will only entertain one viewer at this moment but it''s fine. I acted like I was struggling against [Formless Magic King] using [Fake], I created some fake blood using this, after "killing" my ''enemy'', I went to look at the [Stream Function] pannel and saw that my View Number went back to 0, when I was about to scream things like "FUCK!", I saw the View Number starting to go up, 1 . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . It eventually reached 21 Viewers, I then saw the username of the viewer that had just left, he then sent a message, "Damn the Special Effects in your LiveStream is fucking amazing! I called my friend!", he also sent me some money that was immediately converted to World Coins. When I saw what he gave me, I accidentaly said "Oh Fuck I Love you!", realizing what I said, I then quickly continued by saying "No Homo Though". I then continued doing scripted fight by using all of my strong Monsters, I had the [Winged Ant King] and the [Two Headed Troll King] but I also had new monsters due to the training during those 3 Months, I got the [Golden Tailed Fox King] and the [Blood Turtle King], after ''fighting'' those 4, I saw that I received numerous World Coins and even some items, the Viewer Count reached 87 Although most of them talked about the incredible Special Effects of my livestream some seemed to actually know Magic, Swordsmanship or Archery, they would then give me ways to correct my flaws, they seemed to have understood that this wasn''t Special Effects or they were viewers that were from a fantasy world with technology and some viewers would be amazed at how they could directly send me gifts just by showing the items to their webcam. When I reached the place where the ''Gate Of Emperor'' appeared, I saw countless person, they were all ready to rush the moment the gate opened, seeing this, I used my [Disguise] and directly showed them my power, due to my strong stat, they were immediately suppressed, I then told them to "Leave!", after everyone left, I continued waiting until the Gate opened, after it opened, I saw numerous figures trying to rush inside it, I already detected them so I knew their intention and directly used a [Fire Wall], everyone person that ran toward the Gate was burned into crisp. I then calmly walked into the Gate. Inside the Gate was only light, I couldn''t see anything other than blinding light, after Minutes of me seeing just Light, I finally reached a place with colors, when I reached this place, I heard a voice in my head that said "Welcome to the Test of Emperor, You''ll now have to Face Various Enemies to Confirm Your Strength! The Test shall now begin in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1" . After hearing that, I immediately prepared myself and multiple monsters started appearing, this started with F-Rank then went to E-Rank , D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank, A-Rank, S-Rank, after I finished the S-Rank Monsters, I expected to have finished but monsters still started appearing. 10 Monsters appeared, 1 of them seemed to be particularly stronger than the others, when I saw him, I immediately summoned my Monsters and took out [Chastiefol], I couldn''t use it before due to my lack of Telekinesis but I now could use Telekinesis. I used Chastiefol in his [Increase] Form and directly used [Fight Fire With Fire] on a Monster. This Monster was then pierced to death, I continued using Chastiefol to attack the other Monsters with my monsters while I was attacking the Stronger One. I directly used [Appraisal] on it {Race : Winged Poisonous Snake Level 56 Health : 36000 Mana : 12500 Vitality : 3600 Strength : 2850 Agility : 3010 Dexterity : None Magic : 2900 Wisdom : 2500 Stamina : 2800 Perception : 30 Ability : Thunder Magic, Temperature Resistance, Fast Regeneration, Poison Immunity, Thunder Resistance, Heightened Sense, Snake''s Scale Skill : Bite, Poison Bite, Fast Flight, Pheromone Release, Quick Bite, Poison Release, Silver Scale, Acceleration Holy Shit, this thing right here was a fucking Bag filled with nothing but Health, although Snake''s Vitality attracted me due to probably being the reason of this, Cloud Snake''s Bloodline intrigued me more so I decided to ask the Viewer using one of the ability of the [Stream Function], [Strawpoll]. The final result was me taking [Cloud Snake''s Bloodline] {You Used Skill Steal! I couldn''t disappoint my viewer so I converted some of my World Coins to upgrade [Skill Steal], {You Upgraded Skill Steal! {You Used Skill Steal ! You Succeeded ! Fuck Yeah! After stealing the Cloud Snake''s Bloodline, I decided to first destroy the Snake''s Wing, I used the same tactic I used to destroy the Angel''s wing. But this time it didn''t work due to the high resistance of the scale, I decided to use ''Space Needle'', although I could only hold the Needle for less than 0.0001 Seconds, due to the high destructive nature of this chain, it would be enough to destroy the scale but won''t be able to do anything except that, to be sure not to miss my attack, I used [Spirit Eyes] and wrote the words ''Space Needle'' in the air then Propulsed it unto the Snake. After the Words shined, it directly disappeared but one could see that the scales of the snake mysteriously disappeared so I then used that to directly attack him with my Kamikaze Clones. 43 Chapter 44 - Human Racial Ability Multiples Clones rushed toward the open Body of the Winged Poisonous Snake and started exploding, because my clones didn''t have the strength of a Low-Class, they didn''t cause much damage but still weakened the Snake due to huge amount of explosion that attacked his body. Due to the high level of Mana Regeneration, I quickly regenerated up to 5.000 Mana, with all the skills reinforcing my body, when I saw my Mana regenerating, I quickly rushed toward the Snake whose Scale already started regenerating, I used the [Destroy Five Elements] + [Full Counter] chain, when the Snake was about to get hit by the attack, I saw his scales started showing a silver colour, it must''ve been his [Silver Scale] Skill. Although the chain attack I used was incredibly strong, the explosion''s aftershock caused my clones to automatically disappear and damaged me and my monsters. A good thing was that the S-Rank Monsters were immediately killed, [Chastiefol] and my monsters were now free to help me. After the smoke gradually dispersed, I saw the Snake heavily injured but still alive, this time, he didn''t try to rush toward me and bite me, he was using [Poison Release], this skill released a poisonous fog, the poison didn''t damage me or my monsters but was weakening me, due to how weakened my monsters were, I sent them back to the System''s zone. Although I was weakened, I was still faster than the Snake and continued attacking it, due to a [Beast Encyclopedia] upgrade, while fighting it, I would gradually get knowledge about it, I continued fighting it for 1 Hour, I now had 100% of Knowledge. The Weakness of the Snake seemed to be his stomach but it seemed that the only way I could access it was by going inside his mouth, after thinking about it, I saw that then Snake only lost 50% of his Health, I directly rushed into his mouth and used a simple [Torch] spell, I then started to walk inside his body, at some point, I saw Gastric Acid, I decided to freeze the whole thing using Absolute Zero spell, the Gastric Acid was then frozen and it seemed that Snake took heavy damage because he lost more than 1% with this attack alone. I was quite happy when I saw that and continued attacking, the Snake eventually reached 0% Of Health but I was now wondering how would I leave this body, I first destroyed the flesh of the Snake and waited until I could use ''Space Needle'' and destroyed the scale. I then looked at the Notifications from the System {Perseverance and Will Reached 100 ! Perseverance and Will Stat are now removed from the Status ! You Receive Skill [Fatigue Resistance] ! Due to Perseverance Reaching 100, {You Killed a 50 A-Rank, 10 Low-Class and 1 Mid-Class Monster : - 2.000.000 EXP - 1.350.000 World Coins - 1 Lottery Ticket - 1 Drop of Cloud Snake''s Pure Blood {You Received Mid-Class Monster : It was quite rare since the last time I got a Whole Monster, I was quite thankful of the [Beast Tamer] title {Title : Beast Tamer This Title was given to me after Bunave was officially considered to be tamed and became a part of my [Monster Function], his body was directly reconstructed by the System to be limitless and be able to be evolved and the Spirit of Bunave was then sent into this body. Now that I think of it, considering that Bunave was a cute little bunny, I could use it as the mascot of the channel. After thinking about that, I then summoned her and told her using [Language Mastery] to just act ''Cute''. Bunave directly understood what I meant because during the time I stayed in the Land of Duality, my clone eventually ran out of money and I decided to use Bunave as a distraction and taught her how to act Cute then my clone would steal. Seeing the Bunny, a lot of the viewers started praising her and sent gifts. Obviously, I was quite pleased because that was what I wanted, after doing this, I then heard the same familiar voice I heard when I was first transported here. "You passed the Test of Emperor, You can now go through the gate to receive your rewards and leave the Temple" I quickly rushed through the open gate and saw a chest, when I was opening it, I was full expectation, but when I opened it, my face was full of disappointment because there was only a note, I thought that maybe this was some kind of treasure card but when I read it . . : - To The Next Person - I already took everything, You should''ve been here earlier. "FUCK!" I kept the note and swore that if I found the one who wrote the note, I would beat his ass up for not even letting some treasures in the chest. Due to my high amount of fatigue because of all the fighting I had to go through, although I got [Fatigue Resistance] and [Human''s Perseverance], I was still affected by it and decided to stop the Stream and go rest inside the Temple and leave after waking up. 44 Chapter 45 - Elf Village After waking up, I left the temple and opened the stream yet again. Outside the temple was a forest, this forest seemed to be lifeless, I couldn''t hear anything except the sound of myself walking on the grass. I decided to fly above the trees to look at where I should go next, after looking for a bit, what I saw was nothing more than trees, the forest seemed to be really big, this forest was enough to make me understand that I wasn''t in the Empire anymore considering that there was no Forest like this in the Empire. Due to this, I decided to do like a certain person and I threw my shoe in the air and flew in the direction the shoe pointed. I continued flying for what seemed to be hours but I was unable to find the end of the forest but I finally found some peoples, I quickly went back to the ground. When I was on the ground, I saw a specific characteristic, they had pointy ears, they must be elves. When the viewers saw that, so many messages appeared, it was impossible to read the chat now. When the elves saw me, they readied their weapons and what seemed to be their leader started talking "Angel! What are you doing in our Territory!" The Leader aimed at me with his Bow and said in anger It seemed that due to myself not desactivating [Corrupt Angel], they mistook me for an Angel? It seemed that although my [Corrupt Angel]''s Wings showed a shadowy aura, I was still considered as an Angel. Although my hate for the Angel Race seemed to be unfounded, I didn''t care and decided to act like I was one of them. After using [Appraisal], I saw that their strength were lower than mine and none of their skill were interesting, they didn''t even own a unique skill. I directly killed 5 Elves and left the last one alive and ordered him to bring a message back to his village, something in the line, that the Angels waged war against the Elves. When the Elf rushed toward the village, I used [Fake] to disguise myself as an Elf and followed him discretly with the help of [Stealth]. Because I wasn''t sure if someone could see through my disguise in the Elf Village, I decided to use my 950.000.000 EXP to upgrade my Jobs and Class, I could Max out 3 class/jobs and nearly max out another 1. I maxed out [Gamer] and [Luccrow''s Chosen], due to myself still not understanding how to get exp for [Gamer] and [Luccrow''s Chosen], I was still at Level 0 and 0% EXP. {Gamer Leveled 10 Times ! +50 Perception ! {Luccrow''s Chosen Leveled 10 Times ! +500 Strength and Magic ! Due to the Huge Boost received by upgrading [Luccrow''s Chosen], I decided to keep the EXP for when I would need it and chose new Job and Class, I took as new Class [Full Affinity Mage] and [Language Master] as new Job considering that although [Language Master] doesn''t seem interesting, it''s still a unique Job, it might give good thing. {New Class [Full Affinity Mage] Acquired ! You Received [Magic Learning] ! {New Job [Language Master] Acquired ! You Received [Quick Chant] ! After doing that, I was pretty sure that no one in the Elf Village could see through my disguise. Following the Elf, I finally reached their village, I saw the Elf holding some kind of Card he showed to the guard before he was allowed to enter, it seemed that I needed one too or else I couldn''t enter the Village. I used [Fake] yet again and changed the appearance of one of my item to make it look like it was the card needed to enter the village. I then went to the guards, "Halt! Show us your Identity Card!" The Guards blocked my way with their spears, I then showed them my "Identity Card", during this time, I was really stressed, they started inspecting my card they then nodded and let me enter the village. After entering, I saw that what I thought was just a little Elf Village was in fact an enormous Elf City, they seemed to be way more advanced than the Empire, well although they were advanced, it wasn''t by that much, there were some elevators, some crossbows, I even saw some with what seemed to be car. But everything in this city was made of wood, no metal, only wood. What I expected was that the Elves were incredibly strong in magic and were professional at using bows but it seemed that most of them used Spears and the one using Bows were quite rare. As for the one using Magic, I found nobody using this. While I was contemplating the city, I forgot about the Elf and decided to give up about this because I already finished my job. I had no idea what to do now considering that I was actually penniless, "Hello, do you know where I can work, I''m new in this city?" The Elf hearing my question looked at me with the same arrogant air before answering "Just look at the Board at the Center of the City, You can find work there" While leaving, due to my heightened sense, I heard the Elf say 2 words "Country Bumpkin", it annoyed me considering that the Elf was considerably weaker than me but I didn''t want to bring trouble so I decided to use ''Space Needle'', the Elf who was hit by it wasn''t damaged but lost all of his clothes, the guards seeing that quickly captured him. All the other Elves also started looking with disdain at the Elf who suddenly lost all of his clothes. In the Chat of the stream, a certain Viewer said "Damn, The Elf was so fucking arrogant but his Little Brother was so small ( ?¡ã ?? ?¡ã)", this caused a massive wave of ( ?¡ã ?? ?¡ã) 45 Chapter 46 - Now A Mercenary I still went toward the Center of the City and saw a huge board, on this board there were many paper with some sort of mission written on it, due to the sheer amount of people near this board, I couldn''t see anything so I decided to wait for a bit until I could access the board. Waiting for 30 Minutes, it seemed that nobody was going to move so I just used my Strong body and pushed everyone on my way to access the board, on the papers, there was just missions but there was always the line "Mercenary Rank Required", I wasn''t a mercenary so I just asked someone near me how to become one, after hearing how to become one, I directly left the crowd. Becoming a Mercenary was really easy, I just had to go to a building and say that I wanted to become one, they would just ask me to put my Blood on some sort of Paper, after putting my Blood on it, they would see my stats and my current/previous class, with the ability of [Fake], I was able to change what they could see. I changed the [Full Affinity Mage] to a regular Mage class, removed the Luck and Defence Stat and also hid the effect of [Perfect Body] making them only see my stats without the +600. The One examining the status seemed to be pretty shocked seeing my stat considering that my Disguise wasn''t that of an adult or of an old man. He also seemed to be really shocked seeing the [Luccrow''s Chosen] Class, Luccrow is the God Guardian of the Demon Race but also the God of Night/Darkness, strangely, this was one of the god worshipped by the Elves. He pondered for a while before finally giving my Rank and my Mercenary Card, he gave me a D-Rank Card. I then went back to the Board and looked at what kind of Mission I could get as a D-Rank Mercenary, it seemed it was mostly Gathering Items, Protecting Someone, Searching for Someone or Killing Low-Class Monster. It seemed that being a Mercenary was totally like being an Adventurer, I took as my first quest "Killing 10 Blood Iron Bees", after taking this mission, I received a quest notification, the Quest was the same as the mission I took but the Rewards were different, I could get some World Coins and More EXP with this. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think I stayed in this Village for like 2 Years? Anyway during those 2 Years, I got so much EXP, I finished leveling all of my Unique Class to 10 and reached High-Class, when my Defence reached 2000, I received a choice {Choose 1 Option : - Keep Defence Special Stat I chose the [Damage Reduction] Ability, it had the ability to reduce every damage I took, even the Attack of a God would be reduced. I also used those 2 Years to Raise all of my skills to Level 50 and with all those quests, my luck stat was also increased. With all the missions, I''ve done, I quickly reached the S-Rank. I also caused a war between the angel and the elves that started maybe 1 Month ago? Due to this war, I succeeded in getting the Elf and the Angel Race, due to their respective stat bonus, there wasn''t any real changes to my stat. In this war, with the help of [Magic Learning], I was able to understand their own spell and increase my spell arsenal. Due to my huge number of awards, I was given the role of commander, and today was the battle that would give a huge advantage for one of the side. For the Soldiers that would be commanded by me, I made some weapons and armor, after we got prepared, it was time for the battle to begin. Due to the fact that there was more Angels than Elves, we were put on a disadvantageous position from the start, that''s why using the [Kingdom Building Function], I mainly focused on creating more troops and that''s why I made [Golem Factory], I then upgraded those Golems so much that one of them would be equal to 5 Elves. With the chaos appearing on the battlefield, I took this chance to quickly and quietly disguise myself as an Angel, after that, I quietly went to the area where the Angel''s camp should be, I then used this opportunity to create many Kamikaze Clone and then directly sent them to destroy the camp. With their camp gone, they would be forced to ask for help concerning their food, I then went for the Angel Commander, while he was commanding his troops, I started going near him with the help of [Stealth], I then used [Luccrow''s Summon] and all of my Reinforcement skill, [Luccrow''s Summon] effect would be reinforcing me and giving me the Power of Darkness within every of my strike, I then used Ketsueki''s blood wave and aimed toward the Angel Commander''s wing. Due to the Angel Commander having his guard down and also because of the strength of the attack, his wings were extremely damaged, this caused him to lose all his powers, I then took this opportunity to kidnap him. I think, if I continue doing this, I will get a title such as [Legendary Humanoid Trafficker]. During the war, I was first a Torturer, this made me able to unlock the Ability called [Torture], with this, I was able to easily make the Angel Commander tell us everything. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {Name : Grimson EtherBlood Race : Mixed Race (Human/Demon) Level 35 (0/4.547.476) Class/Job : Flesh Eater (Level 10), Word Mage (Level 10), Gamer (Level 10), Luccrow''s Chosen (Level 10), Full Affinity Mage (Level 10), Language Master (Level 10), Fake Human Hero (Level 10), True Demon Hero (Level 10), Body Saint (Level 10), Counter Mage (Level 10) Title : [True Demon Hero], [Full Element Affinity Holder], [Unique Job Holder], [Unique Class Holder], [Skill Fuser], [Baby Kidnapper], [Beast Tamer] EXP : 0 Health : 19500 Mana : 15500 Fatigue : 0 Special Condition : None Allocable Points : 226 Stat : Vitality : 3300 [3900] Strength : 3500 [4100] Dexterity : 3050 [3650] Agility : 3000 [3600] Magic : 3100 Wisdom : 3100 Stamina : 3150 [3750] Special Stat Luck : 50 Perception : 51 Ability : Mana Mastery (Level 50 0%), (Weapons Mastery) (Level ???), (Elemental Mana Control) (Level 50 ???/???), Spell (Level ???), Pain Immunity (Level MAX), Parkour (Level 50 0%), Flesh Eating (Level 50 0%), Sea of Consciousness (Level MAX), Advanced Memory (Level 50 0%), Mana Regeneration (Level 50 0%), Gamer''s Mind (Level MAX), Detect Bloodlust (Level 50 0%), Language Mastery (Level MAX), Fishing (Level 50 0%), Cooking (Level 50 0%), Consciousness Splitting (Level MAX), Crafting (Level ???), Art (Level ???), Lie (Level 50 0%), Hand Nimbleness (Level 50 0%), Magical Art (Level ???), Magical Crafting (Level ???), Demon Hero (Level 0 0%), Luccrow''s Darkness Blessing (Level MAX), Animal Empathy (Level 50 0%), Stealth (Level 50 0%), Horse Riding (Level 50 0%), Perfect Body (Level 50 0%), Fast Blacksmithing (Level 50 0%), Battle Instinct (Level 50 0%), Temperature Resistance (Level 50 0%), Air Writing (Level 50 0%), Fast Regeneration (Level 50 0%), Flight (Level 50 0%), Bare-Handed Fighting (Level 50 0%), Light Magic Absorption (Level MAX), Holy Magic Resistance (Level 50 0%), Holy Spell (Level ???), Ultra Wing Regeneration (Level 50 0%), Heightened Reaction (Level 50 0%), Luccrow''s Moon (Level 0 0%), Magic Learning (Level 50 0%), Quick Chant (Level 50 0%), Demon Deterrence (Level 0 0%), Human Deterrence (Level 0 0%), Torture (Level 50 0%) Skill : Elemental Mana (Level 50 ??%), Elemental Mana Imbue (Level 50 ??%), Shadow Clone Technique (Level 50 0%), Destroy Six Elements (Level 50 0%), Full Counter (Level 50 0%), Tempest (Level 50 0%), Spirit Eyes (Level 0 0%), Corrupted Angel (Level 50 0%), Armatization (Level 50 0%), Squire Pact (Level MAX), Spinning Mana Arrow (Level 50 0%), One Sword Style (Level 50 0%), Soru (Level 50 0%), Armament Haki (Level 50 0%), Rhythm Echo (Level 50 0%), Fake (Level 50 0%), Quick Dodge (Level 50 0%), Word Propulsion (Level 50 0%), Elemental Slash (Level 50 ??%), Reinforcement Magic (Level 50 0%), Holy Kick (Level 50 0%), Holy Punch (Level 50 0%), Holy Reinforcement (Level 50 0%), Fast Flight (Level 50 0%), Luccrow''s Summon (Level 50 0%), Body Saint Power (Level 50 0%) Unique Ability/Skill : Hard-Working (Level 50 0%), Critical Defence (Level 50 0%), Word Magic (Level 50 0%), Appraisal (Level 50 0%), Skill Steal (Level 50 0%), Train !

After getting back at the battlefield, I thought of one thing, Leaving. I wasn''t scared but this war would probably stop after some battles not due to one side losing but due to both races asking for a ceasefire that would probably end in both sides wanting to end this war, this guess wasn''t unfounded, this was something I got while spying on the higher-ups conversation. I also wanted to see more of the world, before that, it was impossible considering that the Elves'' forest was impossible to leave due to them creating a barrier that was too strong for the past me to break, even when using a ''Space Lock'', due to the high regeneration of the Barrier, it was pointless. Now, with this war, they opened this barrier and I finally got the ability to leave this dumb place, I first decided to end this battle then I would quickly run away, I sent an order to the troops ''Retreat''. I then used [Destroy Six Elements], this was the upgrade of [Destroy Five Elements] who now held Thunder Element within it, the reason I added the Thunder Element was due to [Cloud Snake''s Bloodline] who seemed to strengthen every Thunder Magic, it was probably the reason of the Winged Poisonous Snake having the ability to cast Thunder Magic. [Destroy Six Elements]''s power caused the deaths of many of the Angels who after seeing the damage of the Skill, the fact that their Commander disappeared and their camp got exploded, they immediately gave up and ran away. I created a Clone before leaving the battlefield using [Soru] and [Stealth]. I already knew where to go due to the fact that the moment the Barrier was removed, I created a Clone that would look at what could be interesting, with this, I knew more with the races of this continent, surprisingly, there was also Humans and Demons here, the Technology here was more advanced, there were cars, guns, tank . . . But due to the metal used for them, the strengths of these technology were still lower than someone with Low-Class Strength. Also, there weren''t many races using those technologies, although they would cost a lot, this wasn''t the only problem, there was also the cost of the research for the technologies to be able to be used in conjunction with Magic, the fact that for the moment it was probably useless before the research was completed . This caused that the only races owning those technologies were only strong economically but had weak strength, it was the race such as gnomes, dwarves, humans, argonians. My first Destination was a Vampire Castle, Vampire used the Drain Path of the [Blood Magic], this Path used Blood to Drain other''s blood, they also had Bloodsucking Fangs, those Fangs also had some sort of poison in them, when one was bitten by it, the wound would start bleeding without control and the person would get weakened. If not for these properties, the Vampire Race could be probably the weakest Race, they had weak Vitality, No Defence, Low Strength, Low Defence, Low Stamina, they were only good at Magic but they weren''t the best at it, they also had weakness against Sun and Holy Power, making them lose everytime they fought a Human Priest or someone from the Angel Race due to the fact the Angel Race also had Holy Power within their blood. Before going to the Vampire Castle, I deactivated every race except the Angel one in my [Race Function]. Although they were really weak against the Angels, The Vampires still had way to cause huge damage against 1 so I also used my [Word Magic] and put a lot of ''Heal'' or ''Cure'' words on my body. Using [Stealth] and Disguising myself as a Vampire, I quietly entered the Vampire Castle, the Vampire Castle seemed to be some kind of city, inside of it, I saw a lot of Vampire Merchant, some friends hanging out, some that seemed to study, it just looked like a normal City. But I couldn''t stop my collecting frenzy, I decided to find for a place where no one could see me, I then waited for a Vampire to walk near my position, I would then catch them and bring them in the dark alley, kill them and then take their Pure Blood . . . saying it like that, it''s kind of strange . . After killing ~6 Vampires, I already got the [Vampire] Race, I received the Ability [Bloodsucking Fangs], I also had to quickly leave my position due to the fact that after killing some Vampires, Blood started to flow and Vampires had huge sensitivity toward blood, their nose were able to find the scent of blood with a distance of max 500 Meters. I''m not a bad person though, I don''t want to make them search for a ''supposed'' killer, I just merely borrowed their lives, nothing else, so I decided to take the next Vampire, with a Mind Type Spell. I will make him act like the killer and I would just silently leave this place. Before leaving, I thought of one thing, why not make the Angels get fucked up even more? I just decided to put some traces of Holy Power within the body of the dead, while I was doing that, I heard numerous footsteps coming toward my direction, it seemed that more Vampires got the scents of the blood, I quickly ran away. Now I was searching for the next place to go to continue my Pure Blood Hunt, after thinking for a bit, I decided to go toward the dwarves places. 47 Chapter 48 - Fuck They Took Their Times! From What I learned with my clone, Dwarves were the best at [Blacksmithing], although they had low strength, none of the race dared to attack them to try to enslave them because the Dwarves also had golems coming from the Golden Age, The Golden Age was the Age where the People in the World were at the strongest standard, where seeing High-Class was common, the Golems coming from this Age were strong, at least at the High-Class and the strongest ones were at the Peak-Class. Due to the fact my Clone had the role of gathering informations, I didn''t try to learn the Dwarve''s Blacksmithing, now after leaving the Elves, I could finally learn this, another reason my clone was unable to learn their [Blacksmithing] technique was also due to the fact the dwarves seemed to be naturally distrustful, even with my high level [Lie] and [Acting], they wouldn''t fall for it. It seemed that what I needed to do was create some more believable lies, while I was thinking of a good lie, I just remembered something important, in this world there was a group of people that called themselves the [Erasers], what they would do is erase the skills, memories and stats of someone with a really strong item called the [Book Of Life], they would mostly target young people due to the fact the [Book Of Life] could be resisted by strong enough peoples and although this was called Erasing, it was in fact just some kind of sealing, there was a lot of story of peoples getting their memories, skills and stats back. With this, I directly disguised myself as a Young Dwarf and went toward the entrance of the Dwarves'' Caves. The Dwarves guarding the Caves obviously stopped me and ordered me to reveal my identity, I then started the acting, "I don''t know who I am, I just woke up near this place, I wandered for a while before reaching here" I said this while trying to look lost. Hearing this, the Guards started inspecting me, after inspecting, they started talking to themselves then one of the guard entered the Cave and came back with a Paper, it was the [Identification Scroll] that was what was used when I wanted to become a Mercenary. Seeing the total lack of stats and skills, they decided to trust me and gave me a new identity, some money and even directly enrolled me in their Dwarves'' Blacksmithing Academy, I was truly lost this time, I expected it to be way harder where was the challenge I expected, I thought they were fucking naturally distrustful. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After staying in the school for some days, I finally learned their [Dwarve''s Blacksmithing], after doing that, I continued staying in this Academy and even learned their way of Mining, seeing that, I added another thing in my plan, I will also mine all of their rare ores so that I can make new armors and Weapons. After learning of the location of their mines, I directly created multiple clones who disguised themselves as other dwarves, they then started mining restlessly, with their current speed, they would need 10 Days to mine every rare ores but obviously due to the fact the [Dwarves'' Mining] will probably level up, it might take even less days. With this done, I didn''t need to stay in this Place anymore and directly killed enough Dwarves to unlock their race, I didn''t forget to leave some traces of Holy Power within the body of the dead. When I was about to leave, the sound of the notification came into my mind. I decided not to waste time looking at it and first left the cave and quickly ran far from the cave, I then started looking at the system notification {Due To Hand Nimbleness Reaching Level 50, Dexterity being higher than 2000, Obviously I was quite happy but I was still annoyed due to the fact I wouldn''t be able to understand what was the use of this ability yet again, after thinking more about this problem, although the System wouldn''t give me their Description, what if I used [Appraisal]? I already knew that [Appraisal] had the ability to give me the Item''s Description but can I get Skill''s Description now? I called my ''Status'' and then tried to use [Appraisal] on some of my skills, whenever I tried to use [Appraisal], it would never target one of my skills but would always target what was right behind my ''Status'' Window, thinking about this problem, I decided to use [Appraisal] on myself, I didn''t expect anything but it actually worked. The [Appraisal]''s Windows was almost like the ''Status'' except that there wasn''t any Skill Level but I also saw some new things, in my special condition, there was something a rows of "?", a new category of skill also existed "???? Skills/Abilities" and there was only 1 skill inside of it, it was also a row of "?". I then tried using [Appraisal] on a random skill, {Full Counter : Although there was less information, I was happy because I could still Appraise skills. I tried looking at the curious "?" when I used [Appraisal] on it, I felt a Huge pain and I immediately lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found myself on a huge bed, when I woke up, I just felt too lazy to try and see who helped me and started looking at my skill {Dwarf''s Hand : {Human''s Perseverance : {Cloud Snake''s Bloodline : After taking a good look and trying to understand what they would do, I finally heard the doors of the chamber opening, Fuck they took their times! How come for others, the moment they wake up the Person that helped them coincidentally enter the room and for me they take their time? 48 Chapter 49 - What A Bitch With the sound of the Room''s Door opening, I saw a rather petite girl with butterfly wings holding what seemed to be medicine. A Petite Girl with Butterfly Wings ? Only 1 Race had peoples with appearance like this, Fairies. The Fairy after seeing me training was rather stunned and asked "You''ve already healed?" "Well, Obviously" I said to her while having a "No Shit, Sherlock" Face The Fairy looked rather annoyed when she saw the face I was making and left the Room, I didn''t care, what I was thinking of was mostly ''What is the Best way for me To get the Pure Blood?'', considering that I wanted to destroy the Angel''s Race, if I were to just kill Fairies and directly leaving, they would never think of the Angels being the killer. What I thought of was just a basic plan, I would create a Clone that would stay in the Fairies'' land until they wouldn''t suspect me anymore and with my true body, I would change to fully become an Angel and disguise myself, I would then kill enough Fairies to become one, they would obviously not suspect me after this but we never know, they might think of me as the one that gave them the intel. So I had to stay in the Fairies'' land until they would truly trust me, I would know when they would trust me using the [Relation Function], at the moment, I was just a ''Stranger'', the best way to build up Relation points was helping them but due to my Relation as ''Stranger'' they obviously wouldn''t trust me so I needed to first change this. At this moment, the Fairy who had left, entered the room yet again but she was followed by some other Fairies, they seemed to be inspecting me to be sure if I was truly healed, after inspecting me, they nodded at the Fairy and left the room. "It seems you''ve truly healed, follow me" Said the Fairy I just followed her, I left the room and got a clear look at the Fairies'' Land, it seemed to be inside a huge tree, every branch was a street, that was where the House were built and the Tree trunk was where the business happened, if I wanted cash, I would just need to steal in this place, first thing I needed to remember. I seemed to follow the Fairy up to the top of the Trunk, due to the Fairies'' being able to fly, I was forced to use Wood or Earth Magic to create some stairs. Finally reaching the top of the trunk, I saw what seemed to be a palace, I continued following the Fairy and entered the Palace, after entering, she continued walking until she entered a room and started kneeling, due to the fact I needed to get relation points with them, not kneeling was a bad idea. After Kneeling, the Fairy sitted on the throne started speaking, "Human, State your identity" Saying that, she started releasing her powers, this was the first time I''ve felt pressured due to a huge gap of strength, she surely possessed Late High-Class or Peak-Class. "I''m Grimson EtherBlood" I said while gritting my teeth, the Fairy on the throne hearing what I said nodded and stopped pressuring me. I remembered a second thing, I will make the Fairies the enemy of every races alongside the Angels, what I needed was to learn Nature Element, this was the element used solely by the Fairies. The Fairy Queen then continued speaking, "What were you doing next to our Territory and so far away from your country, Human?" She said with her cold voice What a Bitch, why would she ask my name if she will just continue calling me ''Human''! Anyway, I needed to quickly find a [Lie] because I couldn''t say that I was killing Dwarves and then quickly ran away. While looking at the [Map], I saw that the Battlefield of the War against the Angels was near this place. "I was one of the Humans sent to help the Elves in the war against the Angels" This was rather believable due to the fact the Elves were allied to the Humans, the Elves were also weaker than the Angels in term of strength and number, the existance of the Golems wasn''t spread yet, it seemed that the Elves were able to hide this. The Fairy Queen started to believe me and I left the palace with the Fairy who was has here when I first woke up, I also learned her name, "Jasmine ElmClove". I continued Following Jasmine to what would be my new Home, although the Fairies would help people, they would also ask for compensation, I was required to do mission to help the Fairies. This was perfectly what I needed to be able to build Relation with them, I estimated that I would need is at most 3 Months to be able to reach ''Trusted''. The Mission I would do would have to be completed with Jasmine, this was also one of the thing I was required to do, this was also perfect for me, I would be able to learn Nature Magic by getting her help. The first Mission was [Cleaning the Hyrx Branch], the Hyrx Branch was infested with Monsters and I was required to kill all of them, I created Multiple Clones that would look at Jasmine while she was Casting Magic while the Main Body would be killing the Monsters. In the Hyrx Branch, I first started by using Normal Word Magic, ''Explode'', the moment I got [Nature Mana], I decided to speed up thing using ''Extreme Explode'' considering that I already got what I needed, with this, I could change my Mana into Nature Mana and I would be able to make the Fairies the enemy of all the other races. 49 Chapter 50 - Orichalcum After finishing more than 50 Missions, I finally reached the ''Trusted'' Level in the relations, I could now put my plan into good use, I created a clone and made him stay in my room and I would change my Disguise and Race into that of an Angel, After doing this, I''ll create a commotion where me as an Angel would be killing Fairies, I needed to do it quickly so that the Strong Fairies wouldn''t be fast enough to be able to engage in fighting against me but I still needed some eye witness. I quietly went toward a recluse place of the tree, I then started killing Fairies, the Fairies seeing an Angel killing People were frightened and started running back toward the Main Part of the Tree, I only decided to kill enough to become a Fairy and I would let the others run to call for help. I didn''t care about them considering that I would leave the moment I unlocked the Fairy Race. After 15 Minutes, I finally heard the sound of the System''s notification and I also felt someone with Strong Power coming toward my direction, this person also gave me the Notification of Bloodlust, because I didn''t want to bother with him, I created a Clone and made it use ''Space Lock'' on the incoming fairy, the fairy was directly stopped and I just flew away while spamming ''Extreme Speed'' on myself. I ran in the direction of the Battlefield, when I arrivered there, I created multiples clones and then used Nature Magic that I successfully comprehended when doing the mission with Jasmine. The Attack was first aimed at the Angels, the Elves thinking that they got help from the Fairies attacked the Angels with even more fierce, I didn''t stop there, I continued using Nature Magic but this time I aimed at the Elves, the Elves were first stunned but then understood that the ''allies'' that just appeared were in fact enemies. I continued using Nature Magic and aimed at both Angels and Elves, due to my clone being relatively weak, the Angels and Elves weren''t that damaged but they would be exhausted if I were to continue, due to owning a high Mana Regeneration, they would exhaust themselves faster than me, this caused the Angels and Elves to soon be unable to continue fighting. After both sides retreated, I continued creating more clones until there was enough to be able to be called an army, I then divided this army into 2, 1 would go to the Elves'' Camp and the other would go to the Angels'' camp. The reason for that was not killing them but making them think that Fairies entered this war and was enemy to both sides, just an Angel killing Fairies/Vampires/Dwarves wouldn''t be able to make them start a war but it would be enough to create enmity, this time, I wanted to make the Fairies directly enter the war. This Plan was enough to make both of them the enemies of the Fairies so I didn''t continue with this and just went back to my Pure Blood Hunt. Now, what I needed to get was Gnomes, Demi-Human, Argonian and Giant, those were the last main races I didn''t have, Gnomes used Technologies, their level in that was equivalent to the Level of Dwarves toward Blacksmithing. Argonian had resilient Scales, Giants had Strong Bodies but were pratically unable to use Magic and Demi-Human their was different kind of Demi-Human, it depended on what kind of ancestor they had, the moment I unlocked the Demi-Human races, I would unlock every basic kind of Demi-Human, for the advanced kind such as Phoenix Demi-Human, it required me to drink the Pure Blood of one of the Advanced kind of Demi-Human. I started with the Gnomes, I did the same thing I did for the Dwarves, I faked having lost my memories, with this, I successfully learned their [GunSmithing], [Vehicle Making], I also found where they got the Ores they used, I also created clones there to get their ressources, as for the energy they used, it was just Mana coming from the user or Mana Crystal that could be placed on a special place of the Gun or Vehicle. As for the Demi-Humans, Argonians and Giants, I just directly killed them and received their races, after successfully hunting the Pure Blood, I went back to training in a desert filled with High-Class Monsters. I also received a quest, {Quest : High-Class Magic Reach High-Class Magic Stats Quest Rewards : +50 Luck Stat, +[Luck Aura] ???? Skill Quest Failure : -50 Luck Stat, -2 Unique Skills, +[Lust Curse] I was sure that I would be able to reach 4.000 Magic within 1 year so I directly accepted the Quest because the rewards looked really good. I started by taking the [Swordsman] Class, the reason was due to how easy it was to level up and it might be easier for me to kill Monsters by taking this class. I first started by creating a new Sword, although Ketsueki was strong, with my new Blacksmithing ability, Racial Skill and with the rare ores, I will surely be able to make a Sword way stronger than Ketsueki. After Dozens of tries, I was finally able to reach a level that would probably be enough to use one of strongest ore, [Orichalcum] obviously. [Orichalcum] may not be the hardest neither was it the one that would make the sharpest blade but - His Magical Conductivity was the Highest out of all the ores - Truly Hard, Even hitting the Hardest Armor, it wouldn''t be damaged - Sharp, Only the 10¡ï Ores were able to beat him in Sharpness With all of these qualities, it became natural that [Orichalcum] was the Strongest ore. The sword I made using [Orichalcum] was undoubtedly stronger than Ketsueki, it also held multiple skills, one was passive, it strengthened the effect of the Magical Conductivity, the other 2 were active : - Crescent Moon : An attack in the form of a Crescent Moon, this attack filled with Moonlight will be strengthened if used during the Night - Morning Sun : A Spin Attack, This Attack filled with Sunlight will be strengthened if used during the Day 50 Chapter 51 - Seraph! Archfiend! This Notification stunned me, I created a lot of weapons before this sword but it was the first time I got to choose their name, after thinking more about it, I decided to call it, [Sword of Crescent Sun], after having created my new Sword, I decided to start killing monsters, I released clones and used a lot of Skills with Area of Effects. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nearly 4 Months Later, I realize that what seemed to be easy revealed to be way harder than expected, I decided to do what I didn''t want to do, I used all of my World Coins, Essences, I also trashed 6 things, they were [Spinning Mana Arrow], [Chastiefol], [Demon Hero], [Quick Dodge], [Flight] and [Fast Flight]. After Using all of that, I received enough Essences to Upgrade the System, during the time I was a mercenary, I sometimes received quest that had me kill People, by killing them, I received part of their World''s System, at first I was confused because the Angel gave me nothing, apparently, it was due to ot leaving the continent that caused it to lose it''s connection to it''s World System. Due to the High cost of Upgrading, I didn''t think of doing that but this time, it was either I used World Coins and Essences or I would lose some rare Stats and receive a Curse. With the System upgrading for 1 month, the Quest''s Time was also stopped but I was also unable to get the System''s loot so I just decided to wander in the Desert searching for rare treasures, I already found 1 Vase that would turn Water into Wine but it didn''t interest me so I sold it to the system. After wandering for about 2 Weeks, one of my clone finally found something that seemed really interesting, although I found other treasure, it was useless thing like the Vase, now, I found something that seemed to be Human, intrigued, I decided to Appraise this person, and found out it was a Seraph, this was something that I never found except now, this was a Seraph of the Earth Element. This Seraph seemed to be lost, with my clone I approached him, "Hello, are you in need of help?" The Seraph then turned around when he heard me talking, "You . . You can see me?" I nodded and his face seemed to be brighter than before, he then asked for my help, "I beg you to help me, My Village is being attacked by ArchFiend" I accepted his request and followed him to his village who was already destroyed but there were still people, the Seraph with bloodshot eyes directly told me to kill everyone there, it seemed that the Seraphs were already killed and only Archfiends remained. I did what he requested and directly used [Destroy Six Elements], due to the Archfiends having their guards down, all of them were heavily injured and some were killed, the one being still alive were high-class. What I did was using Thunder Element to finish them quickly. I was about to enter the village to search for the loots when I felt a huge pressure, this pressure was equal to the one felt inside the Fairy''s Palace, I already knew my limit and even by using all of the ways to reinforce myself, I couldn''t kill the other side, I decided not to think anymore and directly started the [Armatization] process, the Seraph first stunned, accepted the process of [Armatization] With the 1500 Bonus Stats, I was able to reach Peak-Class Strength, the ArchFiend stunned at seeing the process of [Armatization] quickly attacked me using magic, due to removing the Defence Stats, I could only rely on my armor and [Damage Reduction] to protect myself. So this caused me to get badly hurt but although I was hurt, it only reduced my Health, nothing else, reason is that I got [Pain Immunity], with this, no matter the pain, my performance wouldn''t be changed. The Archfiend seeing his attack was effective, prepared to attack me once more, using [Battle Instinct], I was able to predict his attacks and dodge them especially since I got boosted Agility. Finally reaching out a range where I could attack the Archfiend, I prepared to use a [Thunder Elemental Slash] fused with [Morning Sun], the reason I added [Thunder Elemental Slash] to the [Morning Sun] was due to the [Cloud Snake''s Bloodline] and the Archfiend was of the Water Element. Although the Archfiend successfully dodged most of the [Morning Sun], it was unable to dodge the Thunder Element, this caused him to be badly injured and he was also slightly paralyzed, taking this chance, I imbued Wind Element on my Body and started madly attacking the ArchFiend, after getting slashed 7 times, the effect of the paralysis was lost and he broke out from my attacks. The Archfiend seeing that he was about to lose decided to flee, I didn''t give him a chance and used ''Space Lock'' on him, after locking him in place, I started looking at what kind of skill he had and saw nothing interesting and directly cut off all of his arms and legs, I then used ''Heal'' so that he won''t die from blood loss. The reason why I didn''t kill him was because I wanted to see what kind of Rewards I would get by killing him after the System finished updating. As for the Seraph, he became my subordinate, in time of need, I would use [Armatization] with him, he gave me more stats than Leilah so he was useful. 51 Chapter 52 - Norting!? After the Seraph called Belram became my subordinate, I used ''Squire Pact'' for the first time, what I thought was that it would just give the other person Stats but it would also give the other person some of my skills, thinking about it, I tried to give him some of my Unique Skills but it didn''t work so I just gave him some regular one. I gave to Belram [Full Counter], but he got the non upgraded one, it meant that there was no [Counter Vanish] and he wouldn''t be able to counter Physical Attacks, it seemed that Upgrades wouldn''t be transfered, after learning that, I continued choosing the 5 Others Skills, I then chose [Shadow Clone Technique], [Spirit Eyes], [Soru], [Quick Chant], [Magic Learning], I then gave him some stats, I could give him up to 10% of my max stats, so I could give him up to 2200 Stats, I gave him 1100 Wisdom and 1100 Magic, I gave him a Full Magic Build. Due to the System''s upgrading, what I did during the last 20 Days was just sleeping so that I would be able to use [Train ! Sleep !], although for the moment the Skill Proficiency wouldn''t be added, after the upgrade, I would still receive Skill Proficiency although I would get 10 Times less than normal. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {Choose 1 : - [Auto-Farm Function] : Send a Clone with 80% of Your strength that will Farm in an Area, EXP and Loot won by him will be reduced by 50%, the Clone doesn''t give Skill Proficiency, when the Clone dies, it''ll be unusable for 1 day. !!Warning!! The Clone can''t be used to Fight With You ! The Clone will Lose his strength within 100 Meters near you - Second Body : When you Die, Your Spirit will be sent to your 2nd Body, it can also be used as a vessel to spirit I directly chose the [Auto-Farm] Function and sent the clone in another High-Class Place, there he could kill monsters and I would be able to get more rewards and become stronger faster. I then continued making EXP and I would then use it to get Job EXP, I would need to max out 2 Unique Magic Class to be able to reach 4.000 Magic, for the moment, after all the magic I learnt, I got more Unique Class, I took the [Variant Mage], this Class focused on the Variant-Type Magic such as HellFire or Absolute Zero. This caused me to use solely Variant-Type Element during 4 Months until I reached level Max on [Variant Mage], I then took [Ultimate Mage], this Mage solely focused on Ultimate version of the Elements, due to Ultimate being weaker than Variant, I received less Magic but I was still able to reach the 4.000 Magic after Maxing it. Maxing both of these Class, I also received 2 Skills [Upgraded Variant] and [Upgraded Ultimate], after fusing both, it became [Upgraded Difference]. {Quest Completed : High-Class Magic Reach High-Class Magic Stats {You Reached 100 Luck Stats! Requirement Reached! I directly went and checked the effect of [Luck Aura] and [Child of Destiny] {Luck Aura : While Activated You''re Luckier {Title : Child of Destiny Effects : Luck is Easier to get, the Effect of Luck is Better, After checking the effect of Child of Destiny, I tried to get a Luck Stat using Attribute Points, trying once, it seemed that for 10 Attribute Points, I would only get 1 Luck Point. With all this luck, I decided to use the Lottery, I used 20 Tickets on the [Kingdom Hearts] banner, {Lottery Results : - Qualification To Become Keyblade Wielder - Summoning Card Young Eraqus - Rage Form - Norting [Qualification To Become Keyblade Wielder] was a rather strange thing, it wasn''t an item, neither was it a Skill/Ability but it was still a thing, it was really strange. The only 2 Skills I got were Unique Skills and had this effect, {Rage Form : Used when Health is Low, Health Regenerate to 100%, Every Skills/Items are Sealed, 2* Agility and 1.5* Strength, You Receive Skills [Instant Attack], [Quick Attack], [Shadow Attack], [Shadow Ball], [RiskCharge], [Shadow Dodge], [Shadow Barrier] Sub Skill - RiskCharge : Use Health to become Stronger Shadow Attack : Attack are Infused with a Special Shadow Shadow Ball : Ball Filled with Power of Shadow Instant Attack : Teleport Instantly and Attack the Enemy Shadow Dodge : When Dodging, Enter a Shadow Form Shadow Barrier : A Barrier filled with Shadow Power Quick Attack : {Norting : Put Part of Your Soul Into Someone Else When I was about to say something after checking the effect of [Norting], I heard the voice of the Old Guy [What !? How Can a Skill that Concern Soul Exist!? Before I sacrificed myself just being able to see a Soul was Amazing !!] It looks like a got some rather Nice New Skills, although I don''t really understand the use of [Norting], I would first need to be able to control my Soul The 2 Summoning Cards that I got had rather strange effect, first of all, those 2 Summoning Cards wouldn''t help me in battle but the person would just appear and directly activate a skill then disappear, Young Eraqus would use [Light From The Past] and Mickey would use [Stopza], as for their effects, [Light From the Past] could only be used when I had less than 3% Of Health, it Would Heal me and [Stopza] would stop everyone/everything. 52 Chapter 53 - Yo Bitch! Reaching this level of strength, I was now sure I could take my revenge, I used some World Coins to buy [Slave Collar], I then flew in the direction of the Fairies'' Tree. The guards that tried to stop me were instantly killed, after entering the Tree, I flew to the Top of the Tree. "Yo Fairy Bitch! Your Master is Back!" I said with a grin the moment I entered the Room where there was the Fairy Queen. The Fairy Queen seemed to be quite angry at what I said and directly released her powers to suppress me, that was useless due to the [Armatization] with Belram that gave me 1.500 Points in every of my stats. I then calmly walked toward the Throne while the Fairy Queen was trying to Kill me using Nature Magic, I effortlessly dodged all of those attacks and reaching the Fairy Queen, her face became deathly pale and weakly said "Wha- What d- do you wa- want?", I ignored her question and directly put the [Slave Collar] on her. I then fixed a [Broken Function Unlocker] and used it to see if there was a [Slave Function], I was disappointed because there weren''t any so I just bought the [Subordinate Function]. I was also able to create hierarchy for the [Subordinate Function] so I created it : Bitch Whore Slave Dog Sidekick I put Belram into SideKick and the Fairy Queen was made into a Bitch. I also had the ability to give them privilege related to the system like giving them access to some Function but the Function would still be way weaker than what I get like the [Lottery] Function would require 10 Tickets, every banners could only be used once, Unique Banner would never appear and I would also have the ability to Receive the Skills they got by using more Lottery Tickets. I gave to Belram the Skill/Abilities and Lottery Function, I then gave him nearly all of my Tickets and let him draw 4 Times, {Belram''s Lottery Result : Golden Apple Immolating Blast Super Diffusion Beam {Immolating Blast : {Super Diffusion Beam : {Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic : Can Eat Lightning To Replenish Strength, Incorporate Element Of Lightning In the User''s Body, Capable of Producing Lightning From Their Body, The Magic is of Incredibly High Voltage, Looking at the Results of the Lottery, I took the Apple and ate it then used some of my remaining Tickets to Learn the [Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic], surprisingly to learn this Skill, it required me to use 30 Lottery Tickets, looking at the fact that it was in fact a Unique Skill, it was quite normal. The effect of the apple were to give me 1.500 MAX HP. What truly amazed me was that after Belram received the [Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic], his Status now showed that he also held the Thunder Element as a Seraph. After finishing this, I started thinking more about what to do next, theorically, if the Fairy Queen was my Bitch wouldn''t that mean I''m also the Chief of the Fairies? So now it''s Conquer Time! Now, I started regretting causing the Fairies being the enemies of both Angels and Elves, but following this train of thought, I also thought of how easy it was to reach the Fairy Queen, maybe it was like in the Empire where the really strong people were sealed in Ice? To be sure, I asked the Fairy Queen, it seemed that what I thought was true, those Old guy were also way stronger than the Fairy Queen apparently so what I did was first buying more [Slave Collar] and I made one of the Fairy Unfreeze the Strong Old Guy then I would quickly use ''Space Lock'' then I would be able to put the [Slave Collar] on them. Thankfully, there wasn''t any problems with my plan and I always succeeded using the plan, it resulted in me being the Master of the Fairies due to being the strongest, am I considered a dictator? Maybe but if any of them dare to say this Word, I''ll kill them. Anyway, now, I must think of what to do, I think attacking the Elves could be a good start considering that the Golems in their army can be controlled by me and I will be able to quickly get my Stuff Back such as all the Gym I created. But first, I had to fix the problems of the Fairies being too weak, I still had some World''s System''s part I looted that weren''t consumed after the Upgrade of my System, I then used the [Kingdom Building Function] and consumed all of my remaining World''s System''s Part to strengthen the System of the Fairies. I prioritized trying to give them some kind of way to strengthen their Magic, it was supposed to be the same as [Skill/Abilities Function] but in this, it would only Show every of the Nature Magic Spell and it would be way harder to receive Skill Proficiency. 53 Chapter 54 - *Hidden* Due to having caused the Fairies to enter the War against the Angels and the Elves, this made it impossible to train for an extended time, the most dangerous thing that could happen was that the Allies of both the Angels and the Elves entered the war, even though the Fairies also had allies, they were still weaker than the other''s allies. I decided to make use of what I learned in the Gnomes'' city and created some Guns, I mostly created Guns for 10 Days until I was sure that I could change the way to make the gun and create a new type. The new Gun I made had no bullet, at the place where the Bullets were supposed to be placed, there was something called a Mana Catalyst, it will be where the User Put their Mana, it would then be compressed and sent at High Speed the moment the trigger was pushed, the More Mana stored in the Catalyst, the stronger the Attack. This modified Gun satisfied me and I decided to make it so that every Fairies in the army would have one, this would compensate the lack of Strength. After having the [Crafting] function starting the creation of all the Guns required, I decided to also start to make my own Weapon, I couldn''t be the only one to go Melee so I couldn''t use my [Sword of Crescent Sun], I decided to get back to my good ol'' bow, I created a new one and called it the [Hunting God''s Bow], it''s skill were quite good {Hunting God''s Bow : Passive Skill : Hunting God''s Speed : Greatly Increase Attack Speed Hunting God''s Grounds : Stronger In A Place Filled With Trees Active Skill : I decided to go to a Forest to try the Boost of Strength, after checking, it seemed to be a boost of ~20%, I then started testing my new toy. [Triple Arrow] would be 1 Arrow that would then Turn into 3 During his Flight. [Hunting God''s Speed] would increase my Attack speed by about 50% Satisfied with my test, I went back to the Fairies'' Palace and heard the agitated voice of the Fairy Queen, it seemed that some Troops were marching toward the territory, the people marching were the Angels, there wasn''t a lot of Angels so I just went alone, although there weren''t a lot of people, they were quite strong, they were all at High-Class and 1 at Peak-Class, I decided to Steal their Skills then Trash them, although it wouldn''t directly strengthen me, it would weaken them, I decided to take what they needed the most. [UltraWing Regeneration]. After removing this, I used my Bow and Directly Shot toward the Wings of the strongest Angel, taken by Surprise, he was greatly injured by my bow but he shrugged it off because he thought he would just Regenerate, I then sent one of my Clones to Rush at them, although it wouldn''t damage them, it would distract them while I was coming toward them in [Stealth]. I casted one of the strongest Sound Spell, [Sound Palace], in my [Sound Palace], nothing could be heard, this would be needed while I''m using my Sword to remove their Wings one by one. After having destroyed their Wings, I directly put the [Slave Collar] on them, I think I should''ve just put the [Slave Collar] and not destroy their Wings but I already did it so I can''t regret. I then brought them back to the Palace, I made it so that every people that were affected by the [Subordinate Function] so Belram and the One being held by the [Slave Collar] would receive Access to the [Shop] and [Status], although they would need to spend more World Coins in the [Shop], they now had the ability to receive World Coins when they killed Monsters and People now. I also started healing the Angels, it seemed that they were all brawn and no Brain because they had no Information about what the Angels would do next. After looking at the general progress of the Fairies, they were still too weak, I decided to give the Strongest Fairy a [Squire Pact], I gave her 50% Magic and 50% Wisdom then gave her [Tempest], [Shadow Clone Technique], [Full Counter], [Light Magic Absorption], [Holy Magic Resistance] and [UltraWing Regeneration]. After doing that, I went back to rest due to the Strain of [Squire Pact], During [Train ! Sleep !], I continued doing some battle training until I felt image flashing in my mind, there was a lot of people, strong people, Me and Someone else seemed to be surrounded, the one surrounding me were Angels, Dwarves, Gnomes and Vampires there was a lot of dead people, we seemed to be talking, but I couldn''t hear anything, after the Images stopped, I quickly went to see if I had any notification about what happened. {[Battle Instinct] Reaching Level 100! After seeing that, I decided to qucikly strengthen myself, I used a lot of World Coins to use items that could Strengthen Myself, I even unlocked the [Loan Function] to buy more, I then successfully reached 5.000 Magic Stats but I got a huge Loan I needed to repay. Chapter 54 - ForeSight !? 54 Chapter 55 - *Hidden* I was still worried due to what I saw, the person that was just next to me and 4 others persons seemed to be rather familiar, I decided to go to the Library to be sure of their identities, after looking at the book [Divinity Of Every Races], I finally understood that the person in what I saw where the Gods. The one next to me was the God that had blessed me, [Luccrow], the 4 other Gods were : - the God of Blacksmithing and Guardian God of the Dwarves, [Hix] - the Holy God and Guardian God of the Angels, [Sandalphon] - the God of Blood and Guardian God of the Vampires, [Drakule] - the God of Technology and Guardian God of the Gnomes, [Zeitan] It was quite troublesome, I won''t be able to fill the gaps of strength until what happened in my Vision became real, I decided to use the remaining World Coins to buy the [Indestructible Coffin], the moment I entered the Coffin, I and my Subordinates would enter a sleeping state where we won''t be able to die but every of my Functions would be desactivated and my Mana would be cut off, although my Clone wouldn''t be destroyed due to the lack of Mana because it could just use [Hibernate] but this would probably cause some problems in the Empire. I had already sent some Clones to other Race''s Empire but I didn''t bother and the Clone just lived like some regular person, I decided to check what they found, from what the Clones told me, it seemed that the Vampires, Dwarves and Gnomes already found out about the truth of the dead peoples, due to the Angels being in a bad position, they seemed to be preparing some kind of ritual, it was probably the one they used to summon the God. Except for this, they seemed to have found nothing but one information sent by the Clone in the Human Empire annoyed me. How come the Humans there don''t start training when they''re 1 Month Old like me !? After ordering my Clone to find out about the reason, it seemed that the baby born in this continent could only have Level 3 At the best, after thinking more about it, it seemed that the Mana Concentration in the air of this continent was lower than Back in the Empire, this caused peoples here to have a worst constitution and with the normally calm state of the continent, there was no need to train hard whereas in the Empire, there were tensions between Demons and Humans, this caused some peoples to think ''Can Walk + Can Talk = Can Train'' but due to the Empire being still relatively new, they had no good training method allowing them to reach Higher than Low-Class. Anyway, I decided to ask for an alliance with the Elves, they seemed to have huge requirements, so huge that it annoyed me, but after buying the skill [Negotiate] from the Shop, I succeded in compromising, I would just need to create some Facilities for them like the [Golem Factory], [Magic Cannon], [Gym], [Magic Room] . . . After accepting that, I gave a Magic Contract to the Elves Commander who then proceeded to sign it with what seemed to be a Royal Seal, if any of us were to break the Magic Contract, there would be repercussions toward either of the races . . After becoming Allies with the Elves, I decided to become Allies with the Humans, they say ''the friends of my friends are my friends too'', this should work with allies and from what the Elves told me, they were quite interested with my Facilities. They asked for more Facilities but that was fine because they were stronger than the Elves and with this, I now had 2 Allies. I went back to the Desert where I was farming, this time, I decided to totally destroy this place, I could probably have enough EXP to become even stronger. I didn''t forget to summon my Monsters before killing everything because although I would get less EXP, they will also get their share of EXP and might become stronger too. Receiving all this EXP, I first started by leveling up to 100. {You Reached Level 100! You Received 260 Attribute Points! [Perfect Body]''s Seal Lifted! [?????]''s Seal Lifted! Category Unlocked : Soul Skill! Azure Dragon''s Time Limit became 5 Hours While I was looking at the notification, I started Drooling, I already saw the destructive Power of the Azure Dragon but during my training, I was forced to use up the 1 Hour I was allocated, now, I could easily destroy the 4 Gods using the Azure Dragon. My Monsters also started evolving, [Formless Magic King] became [Unseen Magic King], [Winged Ant King] became [Cloud Ant King], [Two Headed Troll King] became [Titanic Troll], [Golden Tailed Fox] became [7 Tailed Golden FireFox], [Blood Turtle King] became [Black Tortoise Infant]. With their Evolutions, they all reached High-Class except [Black Tortoise Infant] who became Peak-Class but due to his nature, it just got Huge Defence and Health. With all this, it seems that what I saw in my Vision will probably not happen but I still got a bad feeling about this. Chapter 55 - 5 Gods ! 55 Chapter 56 - Dragons Saliva After I went back to the Elves'' territory, I saw the place where the [Golem Factory] was supposed to be was empty, I guess they tried to look at how to make the facilities, the System made a way to protect the Facilities by directly destroying it. After building everything, I decided to quietly enter the Place where the Angels were doing the ritual to summon the god, using [Stealth] and Sound Magic, I was able to enter without being seen, I then tried to destroy the Altar using my Sword but it seemed to be undestroyable, I decided just to use Word Magic and put on the altar numerous ''Corrupt'' and ''Control''. After finishing this, I decided not to go back to the Fairies'' Land, I decided to go toward the top of the Mountain who was said to be the highest point in the World, at the peak, it was said that there were living Dragons, back in the Empire, people believed that the Previous [Human Hero] had the ability to beat Dragons but what they thought were dragons were only Wyvern, this time it should be the real deal. I didn''t go there to get EXP but I went there to get something, what I wanted was a [Dragon''s Saliva], although it sounds disgusting, a [Dragon''s Saliva] is special due to the fact that Dragons only produce Saliva once in a while and it held extremely pure Dragon''s Mana, this was a component that could be used in Alchemy, it was something even better than a God Plant, when drinking a Potion made out of [Dragon''s Saliva], there was a chance to awaken the ability of using the Thu''um, like in The Elder Scrolls : Oblivion. I didn''t go there earlier due to the fact I lacked something that could be used to exchange until I destroyed the desert, one of the Items I looted was called the [God''s Blood], it was a fossilized version of the blood of an ancient Monster that reached Godhood, although it was useless for me, for monsters, it was fucking gold, when they absorbed the blood, they''ll be able to directly evolve, although Dragons were born Strong, they wouldn''t be able to easily become stronger, so it was even better for them, with this item, I could easily get enough [Dragon''s Saliva] to awaken the Thu''um, I didn''t want any excess so after getting Enough [Dragon''s Saliva], I will also ask for a Dragon Egg. Although Dragons were proud and wouldn''t easily talk to anyone, due to the difficulty of reaching the top of the mountain, they will still allow people that can climb the Mountain trade with them, due to their proudness, they also don''t kill others for their treasures or steal their treasures but if someone died in the Mountain leaving treasures behind, technically, it wouldn''t be stealing. After arriving at the bottom of the mountain, I summoned my monsters and just walked, I decided to let my monsters do the job by killing the enemies. Reaching the Top of the Mountain, I was greeted by the sight of Dragons of every colours flying in the sky, there were also some kind of cave? I guess it must be their Home, there also seemed to be a gate, when I was about to go through the gate, a Blue dragon that seemed quite old, "What do you wish to trade?" It seemed that it became an habit for this Dragon, I still showed him the [God''s Blood]. He was first surprised then he seemed to have become really excited and asked me in a low voice "What do you want for this God''s Blood!?" "I want enough Dragon''s Saliva to Awaken the Thu''um and 1 Dragon Egg" After hearing of what I wanted, the Blue Dragon seemed to be really hesitant before sighing and asking me to follow him. I followed him and entered a cave, in this cave, there was a Egg on a pedestal, before I was able to appraise it, I heard a voice "I can''t give you a normal Dragon Egg but this one is special, it has been 1.000 Years and it still hasn''t Hatched, this is the only thing I can do, even if you were to ask the Dragon Ancestor, he wouldn''t accept your requirements too and would only bring you to this egg" Puzzled by what he said, I directly Used [Appraisal] on the egg {Dragon Egg : Dragon Egg with Dragon God''s Blood in it! I decided to fix a [Broken Function Unlocker], after checking the list of unlockable Function, I finally found what I wanted, [Incubator Function], I directly unlocked it. After finding out that there was this Function, I directly accepted the Blue Dragon''s proposition and I gave him the [God''s Blood] before putting the egg in the Incubator, it seemed that the Incubator would make it so that everytime I took a step, the Egg would be closer to Hatching. 56 Chapter 57 - Bloodline Function ! After returning to the Palace, I decided that I should start harassing the Angels, I took the Angels I enslaved and I then created some clones, with them following me, I decided to fly toward the Angel''s territory, it seemed to be protected by a really hard Wall and a Magic Field, although the Magic Field was strong and had regenerative property, I could still easily destroy it by attacking it a lot or I could ''Corrupt'' it. Corruption have the effect of preventing the Ability of regeneration of the Magic Field, as for the Wall, I just used a Sound Palace then destroyed it with sheer power, I gave to Belram a weapon I made, it was a Spear having the ability to transform into a Hammer and a Magic Staff, the reason I gave him those kinds of weapon was due to the fact that there was some Theory that Spear had affinity toward Lightning, the Hammer had affinity toward Earth and Magic Staff would give him the Magical Conductivity, because Belram never used any weapon, I decided to give him this weapon, atleast he would be multipurpose. After having Destroyed the wall, the Angels and my clones rushed inside, Belram decided to stay next to me, I stayed outside the wall to Snipe some people with my Bow, everytime I shot an arrow, someone in the chat called "LoLChallenger" would give money and say things like "An Enemy Has Been Slain" "Double Kill" . . "Triple Kill" . . "Quadra Kill" . . "PentaKill" After killing more than 10 Angels, it seemed that the Guards finally decided to stop us, I continued shooting toward the city while Belram was defending me using [Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic], this skill truly had some fearsome Powers, after seeing that, I decided to try it too, I took out my sword and started to cast the strongest [Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic] I could through the sword, when I finished casting, I heard a lot of noises, this noise could even be heard through the Sound Palace, and after the blinding light that came from the Thunder stopped, I saw that a small Part of the Angel''s City seemed to have been totally obliterated. After my Slave Angels heard that, they directly came back through the hole in the wall and we rushed back to the Palace, there wasn''t any Angels that tried to stop us, they seemed to have been scared shitless by the attack. This time, After returning, I gave the finished Guns to the Fairies and asked them to exercise with it, as for myself, I continued training but this time, I also put a lot of effort in Running, I tried to make the Egg quickly hatch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Third Person POV** In a Forest, "Lightning Dragon''s Roar!" Could be heard every ~5 Minutes, after those 3 Words were screamed, a Beam of Lightning would raze through the Forest and destroy everything hit by it. Grimson, the cause of this, would be satisfied everytime he finished that, this was due to him being closer to having [Cloud Snake''s Bloodline] at Level 100. After finishing his attack, he started running aimlessly, he just tried to hatch the egg, after the cooldown of "Lightning Dragon''s Roar!" was finished, he would stop and attack toward a random direction. Currently, Grimson had a [Cloud Snake''s Bloodline] at Level 99 99%, he only needed to use his attack about 5 more times and he would be able to reach Level 100. "Lightning Dragon''s Roar!" . . "Lightning . . . . . {Cloud Snake''s Bloodline Reached Level 100! Cloud Snake''s Bloodline is now removed! You Received the Cloud Snake''s BloodLine ! You Received a Bloodline For the 1st time! After Grimson received this notification, he seemed to be quite disappointed and wanted to scream "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SCAM!" but he calmed himself and just checked what was this strange [Bloodline Function]. The function seemed to be like the [Race Function] except that it had more varieties, after finding [Cloud Snake''s Bloodline], he touched the name and saw detailled information about it {Cloud Snake''s Bloodline [Currently Used] : Effects : You Have a Deterring Effect over Lizard! Vitality 2x Higher! Thunder is now 50% Stronger! Your Pure Blood now own part of the Cloud Snake''s Bloodline! After checking the information of the Bloodline, it seemed that it was a better version of the previous [Cloud Snake''s bloodline], after closing the information panel of the Bloodline, he looked at the Bloodline Function Panel more carefully and saw that there was a little "?" icon and every bloodlines had a specific color, purple, blue, yellow, red and white, Cloud Snake was a bloodline with the color Purple, after pressing the "?" icon, a panel appeared, it was the help panel of the Function. {Every Bloodline has a rarity represented by a color, White = Common Blue = Rare Purple = Epic Yellow = Legendary Red = Mythical The White/Common Bloodline were the one that came from the Race such as Human, Demon, Dwarf, Elf . . As for the other rarity, I had no way of knowing on what they were based so I went to rush into the Library and started looking, from what I saw, Blue were the Still Existing Bloodline, Purple were the Bloodline that had disappeared, as for Yellow and Red, I still wasn''t sure. After finding this information, does that mean that the Dragons got weaker bloodlines than the Cloud Snake? After looking at the panel of every existing Bloodline, I saw that there were different kind of Dragon, there was only 1 that wasn''t Yellow or Red, it was one called [Inferior Dragon''s Bloodline] . . . 57 Chapter 58 - Stand! Even after unlocking the real [Cloud Snake''s Bloodline] and with all his trump cards, Grimson still had the feeling that in the upcoming battle, he would still be forced to use the Coffin. This caused Grimson to decide to use his remaining lottery tickets to draw 2 times, in the 2 Special Banners, there was one that had already appeared, [The Gamer] and a new one called [Jojo''s Bizarre Adventure], Grimson decided on using his lottery tickets on the new banner. {Lottery Results - - Stand Arrow [One-Time] Grimson decided to first check the Vampire Bloodline, first of all, it was different from the Vampire of this world who had a White Bloodline, second, this was a Yellow Bloodline, its effects were {Vampire Bloodline : Effects : You can now suck blood by digging your fingers inside the target, after sucking blood, you''ll feel strengthened and healed if you were in a weakened state, while in a weakened state, you will crave for blood and may attack any victim to regenerate! You now possess Hypnotic Abilities! You Can now graft parts of different organisms together! You now possess High-Level Regeneration! You can now create Vampire/Zombies, to do this, you have to inject vampire extract into the one''s blood vessels! You can manipulate your body to lethal degrees, such as freezing your own body parts and transfer the loss of energy by touch! Although the Bloodline had extremely good effects, Grimson didn''t choose to use it, this was due to the fact the Sun would then become deadly to him, he decided to use the Vampire''s Bloodline only when it was night or when he used [Luccrow''s Moon], this skill after reaching level 100 developped a new power, it would summon an artificial Moon, when it was summoned, Sunlight wouldn''t appear in an area of 1 Kilometer. As for the [Stand Arrow], when one was pierced by it, one would either have sufficient spiritual strength and awaken a ''Stand'' or it would just have the same effect as a regular arrow and wound the one being pierced. Grimson wasn''t sure if he had enough spiritual strength and thought, ''If I don''t have enough Spiritual Strength, I''ll lose this one-time use item and would get wounded but what if I have enough? Wait . . I should just use, [Save/Load] Function, I didn''t use it and still have 3 Free Load, if I don''t awaken a stand, I''ll just load back to before I use the Arrow''. After thinking of that, he directly saved then pierced his arm with the Arrow, after piercing his arm, the arrow started to disintegrate, after it fully disintegrated, Grimson received Notification informing him that he received a new skill, [Stand Summoning]. Grimson directly activated [Stand Summoning], after that, a figure appeared next to Grimson who after using [Appraisal] on the figure and showed a puzzled expression, the reason was that the figure had a different status than the other {Stand Power - C Speed - D Range - B Durability - D Precision - B Potential - A Looking at the Status of the ''Stand'', Grimson started showing a more delighted expression and started wondering what every stats meant, he then used [Appraisal], Power, Speed and Durability seemed to be quite easy to understand, as for the difference between Range and Precision? After looking, Range was the Stand''s range of manifestation, range of ability influence, and spatial mobility, the Precision measures the Stand''s accuracy and range of influence/effect of their abilities to specified targets. As for the Potential, it measures the Stand''s possible functions, utilization of its abilities and powers, and capacity to improve its overall capabilities. It decreases in rank as the user masters their Stand. Knowing the meaning of every stats, Grimson decided to see as to how far the Stand could go, after it moved to 60 Meters, Grimson seemed to be unable to make it move further, he then used the Stand''s power and created a Bow and arrow, he then decided to try up to how far the Stand could shoot, the stand was accurate up to 300 Meters, and with the Stand''s strength, the Arrow could shot up to ~500 Meters. As for the effect of the Ability, to test that, Grimson created a Clone, he also wanted to do another test, if the Arrow could be affected by [Full Counter], the Stand quickly shot the Arrow toward the clone who used [Full Counter], what happened next was that the Arrow continued flying toward the clone, even by using [Full Counter], the Arrow seemed to not be affected, when the Arrow reached the Clone, it directly disappeared and it seemed that nothing happened to the clone but after appraising it, Grimson saw that the Clone was weakened and lost 1.000 Stats. While continuing his test, Grimson saw something that caused his expression to change and directly rushed toward the Fairies'' Palace, what he saw was the troops composed of Vampires, Dwarves, Gnomes and Angels marching in the direction of the Fairies Land. While flying, Grimson started thinking ''What''s the point of rushing back if we''re going to fight anyway? It might even causes damages to the Fairies'' Land and up to now, I was testing my Stand, what about doing some real fight?'' After he thought of that, he directly used [Luccrow''s Moon] and changed his bloodline to the Vampire one. Using his [Consciousness Splitting], Grimson was able to control his Stand, his clone and himself, although he could create an infinite amount of clone, he was incapable of creating more than 1 Stand, so what he decided was to make the Stand protected by the Clone while it was created a lot of Bows and Arrows for the other clones. Grimson quickly rushed toward the people leading at the front of the troops, the moment the moon had appeared, the troops quickly started inspecting the area near them to search the cause of this ''moon'', when they saw a Figure rushing toward them, they directly shot arrows or casted spell toward it. Grimson who was being attacked wasn''t scared due to the fact multiple clones were covering him using the Anti-Power Arrows, due to the distance, Grimson was sure that he wouldn''t be hit by one of the arrows, after reaching one of the member of the army, he started by manipulating his body and tried the Freezing Attack. The Soldier who was caught started freezing and quickly died, seeing that, the surrounding Soldiers started getting frightened but still attacked Grimson who started smirking due to his successful test, he then started injecting some of his bloods inside the nearest Soldier, with his strength, he was unable to escape from Grimson''s grasp, after a little while, his appearance changed and he started attacking his former allies who became even more frightened. With the change of appearance, the Soldier also became stronger. While his zombie Soldier was killing its former allies, Grimson was injecting his blood into the dead Soldiers, this caused him to get after only 5 Minutes of battle, an army consisting of 100 Zombie Soldiers. But what surprised Grimson was that although he attacked the front of the army, he still hadn''t found the strongest soldiers, but he just shrugged it off and continued his rampage testing the body manipulation, after having found out how to create pressurized fluid jets from his eyes, he finally found a strong one that seemed to be of Peak-Class. Although he was Peak-Class, due to the sheer number of Zombie Soldiers, he was still easily killed, after the surrounding Soldiers saw his death, they started to flee but Grimson didn''t allow them to leave, during the battle, he had ordered the clones to create rows of ''Extreme Explosion'' on the ground, the moment Grimson activated all of that, everyone except Grimson would get killed. Due to his successful test, Grimson just activated the Explosion then went back to the Fairies Land, due to how weak this army was, this probably wasn''t the only one that was sent to attack the Fairies. 58 Chapter 59 - Nature God! After entering the Huge Tree, Grimson was stunned seeing nobody except Belram, "Belram, where is everybody?" Grimson asked the moment he saw that the Trunk that was bustling with Fairies was now Empty. Belram answered, "After you gave us access to the [Shop], the Fairies tried to find a way to compensate their weak bodies, what they finally found was something called [Growth Pill], after killing for some days, they finally got enough to buy the Pills, they then tested the pills, due to the successful test, they are now doing an Auction for some of those Pills" Belram then guided Grimson to where the Auction is taking place, Grimson arrived at the Auction and saw what seemed to be at least 100.000 Fairies sitting engaged in a furious bidding. What puzzled Grimson was the people on the stage where the [Growth Pill] were placed, although they were still recognizable as Fairies, opposite to the normal Fairies having small bodies, these ones were quite tall and the women had bigger breasts than normal, Belram seeing the puzzled expression of Grimson, directly explained to him, "They are the Fairies that already had a [Growth Pill], 3 of them are Peak-Class including the Fairy Queen and 6 of them are High-Class. Although the [Growth Pill] has the effect of strengthening the body, the main effect is causing a growth in the whole body, that''s why they are bigger, taller . . " Grimson nodded and continued looking at the Auction, while keeping an expressionless face, he was using Telepathy to talk with the Fairy Queen, "I want 40% of everything you get in this auction!" The Fairy Queen was first puzzled when she heard the message sent by Grimson and due to the fact she only trained in the Nature Element, she was unable to respond, in the end, she just sighed, talked to the other Fairies and she then nodded. Seeing this, Grimson smirked and waited until the end of the auction to get his share. After the auction, Grimson directly rushed on the stage and started looking at what they won in the auction, there were a lot of Ores, Weapons, Alchemy Components, Money, Treasures . . Grimson took all the Alchemy Components and then decided to reward the Fairies that had organized the Auction by ranking them up to [Whore]. Grimson then started brewing the Potion to awaken the Thu''Um, due to training his skills, he decided to do it later considering that the Thu''Um is said to be hard to master. After Brewing 10 Potions, Grimson directly drunk them and started looking at the benefits he got, {You Drunk 10 Dragon Magic Potion! You Received 350 Magic! You Awakened the Unique Skill : [Thu''Um]! Grimson directly opened the Panel for the [Fus-Ro-Dah] after receiving the notification {Fus-Ro-Dah : The First and Second Words will cause the Enemies to Stagger, He then directly left the tree and asked one of the Angel to come with him to test, he then started using every words, he first started by only [Fus] which caused the Angel to stagger for less than a second, when Grimson used [Fus-Ro], the Angel then started staggering for more than a second and when [Fus-Ro-Dah] was used, the Angel was thrown away for about 3 meters without having any way to stop himself. While Grimson trained himself for some days, the Angel that became a spy, appeared in the Tree, Grimson already knew that there must be a reason for him to appear, quickly asked what happened, "The Vampires, Dwarves, Gnomes and Angels became allies, they are now trying to make an army made out of every soldiers from those 4 races, I also happened to hear that they had called the Guardian Gods" Grimson was already expecting that, he then quickly flew to the Elves'' Land, he then told them the information he just got from the Angel, the Elf commander was surprised of what Grimson told him, he then started pondering and told Grimson to follow him They entered a secret room, in this room, there were rows of Golem, it must be known that the Golem Factory only make 3 Golems per day with the level of upgrade they received but in this secret room, there should be more than 700 Golems, the only way to do that was using ressources, this is what shocked Grimson but he continued following The elf commander until they reached what seemed to be an altar, this altar was the same as the one Grimson saw in the Angel''s place, ''This must be the altar to summon Luccrow'' Grimson thought After the Elf Commander showed this to Grimson, he then gave Grimson a list of materials, he then said, "This is the materials required to make an altar, we''ll need more than only 1 god to win this war" Grimson then left to quickly get the materials and make the altar to call the Nature God, Guardian god of the Fairies, [Iav]. After having created the altar for the Nature God, Grimson started going near where was the supposed camp of the 4 Race Army, he then started spying using [Stealth], due to having a clone back to the Fairies Land and had a [Clone Shift] usable, he wasn''t worried if he was seen so he started going near the highest Tent. "Have you checked if the Magic Formation can be used?" "Yes, Commander! We also started charging it with Mana" "Great, the moment it''s filled with Mana, we shall start the attack" After this conversation ended, 2 Soldiers Left the tent and Grimson took this chance to sneakily enter the tent, what he did after was changing his own bloodline to that of the Legendary Vampire, he then froze the Vampire Commander, due to being taken by surprise, the Vampire Commander was unable to react and started getting frozen, after Grimson felt that the Vampire Commander was weakened enough, he directly stopped his attack and took out a [Slave Collar], the Vampire Commander then became one of the subordinate of Grimson. By the orders of Grimson, the Vampire Commander told the Commanders to come into the tent, unexpectedly, they didn''t come and didn''t even respond. 59 Chapter 60 - Rage Form! Due to the other Commander not coming, Grimson forced the Vampire Commander to tell him everything he knew, with this, he was able to know what the ''Magic Formation'' was, it seemed to be a rather ancient item in the shape of a ball, its effects are unknown but it seemed to have been created by union of the strongest gods in History, the reason they decided to bring this item was because it seemed that the 4 Races were thinking about conquering the world, the Elves and Fairies were just the first step. As for the gods, they were already summoned but are currently recovering their strengths except for the Holy God that has been imprisoned and was being purified by the Angels'' Powerhouse. Although with the [Slave Collar], Grimson was able to force the Vampire Commander to say everything, he was still unable to find out where the Gods stayed, the only way for Grimson to find out about this would be capturing a General or a King. At this point, Grimson decided to just prepare for the incoming Battle, he decided to try to get new words, he already thought of one that would be perfect, [Disassemble], against the Dwarves'' Golem or the Gnomes'' Gun, it would probably be the best word he could have. The time required to master a word was now about 6 Hours, due to the ''Magic Formation'' needing more than 3 Days to be filled with mana, Grimson could master about 12 Words. Very quickly, 6 Hours passed and Grimson finally finished mastering [Disassemble], he then quickly looked at the Incubator and saw that the Egg would still take a lot of time to hatch, quite annoyed, he decided to use Essences to speed up the process. After using about 1000 Essences, Grimson found out that the Essences seemed to have been wasted because the Egg didn''t seem to be closer to hatching. Disappointed, Grimson decided to go see how Belram''s training is going, going to see him, Grimson was quite pleased seeing that Belram seemed to have reached level 10 with his [Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic] and was proficient enough to be able to make a Clone that could Armatize with Grimson. And after the [Armatization], it seemed that Grimson would now develop what seemed to be Scales, those scales seemed to defend against any kind of Attacks but due to those Scales only seeming to appear on his forearms, as long as someone didn''t hit this place, Grimson would still be hurt For the Remaining Hours, Grimson decided to continue testing what the Vampire''s Body Manipulation could do, in his sea of consciousness, someone thought of what he saw in a Novel, the [Ding Dong Drill], sadly, Grimson directly refused when he heard what it was supposed to be. Finally, Grimson thought of something, after obtaining [Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic], his body changed, Lightning pratically became a part of his body, does that mean that he would be able to manipulate his body into being fully covered of lightning? That was what he tried to do for about 12 Hours before finally being able to fully cover his body with lightning, he then tried equipping his sword, due to the Sword being fully made of Metal with good conductivity toward electricity , the Sword quickly became charged with high-volt electricity, as for trying how strength the electricity was, Grimson summoned a Lightning Magical Bird he got while training, it had no interesting Skills so Grimson didn''t try to develop it, it now became a Lab Rat for Grimson. This monster looked like a duck and was rather small but was really fast and had strong lightning magic, but even with that, the moment Grimson touched it with his lightning armor, it quickly became a cooked Duck. Pleased with the strength shown by his lightning armor, Grimson decided to have it as a Trump card due to the high-mana consumption, he couldn''t use it for a whole battle. For the last 54 Hours, Grimson thought of using the [Concept of Time], although he couldn''t cultivate it, he could still use the First Level, the one called [Stagnation]. It took 40 Hours for Grimson to be able to fully be able to use it, the problem in this Skill was that Grimson could currently use it to only slow 1 Opponent and due to the fact, the point of this skill was slowing down oneself and slowing the opponent more, with the huge number of soldiers in this war, it was simply useless to use it except if 1 Opponent was a real threat. As for the last hours, Grimson decided to continue training his Stand, it seemed that after a lot of use, the Anti-Power was growing stronger, it now weakened the Clone by about 1.500 Points. After about 8 Hours, Belram quickly rushed to the place where Grimson was training, the reason he rushed was because the enemy army was approaching. Grimson already expected that so he quickly equipped his armor and his weapons, he started by using his bow. The reason was that they were currently in a forest and due to the sheer number of soldiers, he had not thought of going into a melee when every Fairies were going to use Guns. When he saw the approaching Army, he directly summoned all of his Monsters including the [Azure Dragon], when he was expecting his huge Dragon to appear, he was puzzled until he saw a notification Grimson started searching for a reason until he saw a Ball shining in the sky, seeing that, Grimson directly told his Stand to aim at it with his Anti-Power Bow, the attack was quickly blocked by an Angel. Grimson then quickly flew toward the Ball but was stopped by a Peak-Class Angel, Grimson directly launched multiple Spell toward it but it unexpectedly still lived, Grimson was then horrified seeing that his Stats became 20% Weaker. Seeing that, Grimson directly thought of one thing, ''Destroying this fucking ball'', although thousands of Spells were flying toward him, he was only focused on the ball, he used all of his mana to create an ''Extreme Space Needle'', using [Word Propulsion], he succeeded in sending it toward the Ball, although the weakening effect became only 5% now, the [Azure Dragon] was still unsummonable. Due to having used all his mana, Grimson was unable to keep his Magic Shield and was hit by all of the Spells, his Health reached ~5%, rimson smirked and activated [Rage Form]. [Instant Attack], he rushed toward the Peak-Class Angel, with [Quick Attack] and [Shadow Attack], he quickly killed the Angel, Grimson then used [RiskCharge] 3 Times, with this, he was even stronger, he then quickly teleported toward a Soldier at a center of the army, the reason he did that was to kill the most Soldiers using his [Shadow Ball]. Most powerhouses, seeing what Grimson was doing, decided to target him and sent multiple High-Rank Spell, Grimson seeing this, used [Shadow Dodge] then [Instant Attack], with this speed, he seemed to have become a God, for the moment, he continued on targetting the Army rather than attacking the Powerhouse. He was continuing his rampage until a familiar Figure stopped him, [Drakule], Grimson already reached about 9000 Strength after using [RiskCharge] and entering [Rage Form] so he decided to attack the God of Vampires head-on. The two of them quickly became entangled in a battle of attrition, although [Drakule] was a god, he remained a vampire and mostly used Lifesteal magic, due to the low damage, he wasn''t being able to keep up with the monstruous damage of the Rage Form Grimson, when [Drakule] was about to lose, he received the help of [Zeitan]. [Drakule] and [Zeitan] were able to block Grimson until his Rage Form stopped, the moment Rage Form stopped, Grimson quickly used [Disassemble] on the weapons of Zeitan, he then used [Luccrow''s Moon] before being grabbed by [Drakule] who was absorbing his blood. When the Moon appeared, Grimson changed his bloodline and quickly froze his entire body, [Drakule] who had his fangs inside Grimson got quickly frozen, then got himself hit by the attacks of Grimson''s Sword, while this was happening, [Zeitan] quickly re-assembled his weapon, and charged it with Holy Magic, it seemed that the title of the most Intelligent God wasn''t fake, [Zeitan] quickly understood the weakness of Vampire Grimson the moment it saw the fact that he needed to summon a Moon. When Grimson saw the Gun being charged with a Holy Crystal, he directly used [Clone Shift], he arrived next to Belram and started the [Armatization] with a clone Belram made. 60 Chapter 61 - Sleeping! After finishing [Armatization], Grimson quickly flew back, changed his bloodline back to the [Cloud Snake] and started chanting, "Resounding through the air, the roar of thunder, plunge from the heavens and reap destruction! RAGING BOLT!!!" Very quickly, a gigantic ball made out of lightning started descending toward the Army and after exploding, totally vaporized the weaker one while severely injuring the stronger one. But while Grimson was chanting his skill, a shadowy figure could be seen rushing toward him at great speed, this figure was about the size of [Zeitan], it was [Hix], the god of blacksmithing. The moment [Hix] was close enough, he directly charged the Gun given by [Zeitan] and shot toward Grimson. Due to having changed the Bloodline and having [Holy Magic Resistance], Grimson was only midly injured. The moment Grimson was hit by the attack of [Hix], he quickly created a ''Space Lock'' then Propulsed it toward [Hix] before quickly changing his Bloodline back to the Vampire, he then used his freezing attack on [Hix]. After freezing [Hix], Grimson directly inserted his Fingers into [Hix]''s body, while the blood in [Hix] was being quickly drained, an Angel quickly flew toward Grimson and sent a Holy Sword toward him, it was [Sandalphon]. Due to Grimson still having the Vampire Bloodline, he got badly injured but not killed because [Sandalphon] was still weakened because of the ''Corruption'' he received when he just got summoned. When [Sandalphon] was about to use another [Holy Sword] to kill Grimson, a figure seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, [Luccrow] and with him, the Elves and the Golems. Taking chance of having been saved by [Luccrow], [Grimson] was able to directly use multiple ''Heal'' on himself. With the help of the newly arrived Allies, The Fairies whose army was badly injured were able to take a breather, but even with the help of the Elves and Golems, the chance of winning was still lower than 50%, the reason was due to the fact that the Enemies had 4 Gods and they only had 1, the Enemies were made out of 4 Different Races and they were only 2-3 Different Races. Back to the fight, he and [Luccrow] were able to stop [Hix] and [Sandalphon], while Grimson was trying to weaken [Hix] until he could Zombify him, [Luccrow] was easily beating up [Sandalphon] due to [Sandalphon] being weakened. Very quickly, [Drakule] and [Zeitan] reached the battle, [Zeitan] attacked [Luccrow] from a long range using his numerous guns and [Drakule] started draining Grimson''s life using his spells. Although, [Sandalphon] was weakened, [Luccrow] was still unable to fight 2 Gods at a time, as for Grimson, he had his Health drained by [Drakule], even by draining [Hix] blood, he was unable to recover enough. Grimson decided to make his monsters come help him, [Titanic Troll], [7 Tailed Golden FireFox] and [Unseen Magic King] would help him, [Black Tortoise Infant] and [Cloud Ant King] would help [Luccrow. [Unseen Magic King] directly used Illusions to confuse [Drakule], the effect woudn''t be much but this would still disrupt his life stealing Spell by a bit. The [Titanic Troll] was using his body to attack [Drakule] and [7 Tailed Golden FireFox] was using multiple Fire Spells to attack him, the point was to either tire [Drakule] to death or make him run out of mana. [Black Tortoise Infant] used something called [Defence Link] on [Luccrow], when he used that on someone, he would redirect every attacks that would normally hit [Luccrow]. [Cloud Ant King] used his Jaw Attacks to inflicts status effects on the gods. While the Monsters, Gods and Grimson were entangled in a fight, in the battlefield, the Army made out of 4 Races was starting to win against the Fairies, Elves and Golems. Grimson seeing multiple Fairies and Elves dying and looking at [Luccrow] and his monsters starting to get badly injured, decided to finally use the summoning card of [Mickey]. Very quickly, a portal started appearing and a mouse with giant ears holding a rather strange looking Sword, he then brandished his sword toward the Sky and said "Stopza!", everyone then came into a stop except for Grimson and his allies. Grimson quickly told everyone to leave this place, the Fairies'' and Elves'' Commander, quickly understood that they couldn''t delay and quickly told everyone to retreat. In the end, only 3 Person and 5 Monsters were left on the Battlefield, Grimson, his monsters, [Luccrow] and finally Belram. Grimson seeing Belram staying here, was surprised then quickly ordered. "Belram, You have to leave NOW!" Belram shook his head before saying, "I won''t leave, what kind of friend would I be if I left you here alone? Either we both leave or none of us leave" Grimson hearing this, felt a rather strange feeling, {?????''s shackle broke! Grimson then smiled and said, "You''re right, what kind of friend would you be" before starting to laugh. [Luccrow] seemed to be rather surprised seeing those 2 people still talking so casually in this kind of dangerous moment. They then prepared themselves for the moment, the spell ended. The moment it ended, the army and the gods were surprised and puzzled seeing the sudden disappearance of a whole army. But before they could cheer for their victory, they were greeted by an enormous Attack of lightning, one of darkness and one made of 6 Elements. Those Attacks were all buffed using [Full Counter]. The moment the attacks were about to descend unto the army, the Ball in the sky shined brightly for a last time, a blinding explosion then happened, after the light disappeared, [Luccrow], Grimson and Belram were surprised seeing the Army wasn''t damaged in any way. But Grimson, decided to directly try and summon the [Azure Dragon] but he seemed to still be unable, so he just gave up. They were quickly surrounded by the army and the Gods, this was the scene Grimson saw in his foresight, only one thing changed, Belram. After being surrounded, [Sandalphon] directly spoke, "Surrender or we shall kill you!", Grimson didn''t seem to care and whispered to Luccrow, "Are you willing to become my subordinate?" Luccrow was surprised hearing that, "Although, I respect you, I''m still a god, if I were to become your subordinate, where would my honor go?" Grimson responded, "Screw the honor, do you prefer dying?" Luccrow pondered before saying, "You . . You''re right but if becoming your subordinate doesn''t help then I''ll kill you in the afterworld" Grimson smiled then activated his [Luck Aura], he then directly used the [Invincible Coffin], {Invincible Coffin : When Used a Random Number would be chosen! The Number will be equal to the number of Years, the Coffin would be Sealed! With Luck, Number chosen will be higher! When Used, Every Subordinates will also enter an Invincible State where they''ll be sleeping! {Invincible Coffin Used! 15 Years Chosen! What the Army saw was a Coffin that sucked Grimson in, monsters disappearing, [Luccrow] and Belram entering a sleeping state. The Gods thinking they have been taunted quickly attacked them, only to be surprised to find out that the coffin and the person sleeping seemed to be invincible. 61 Chapter 62 - Keyblade! After Grimson entered a sleeping state, his mind then woke up, at first Grimson thought he would just see the white scenery of the [Train ! Sleep !], but strangely, he now seemed to be in some sort of cell holding a rather strange weapon that looked like a giant key. This weapon had a round-shaped handguard, starting from the pommel and linking it with the guard, as for the blade, there were 3 parts, one that started from the left, one from the right and one from the center, each of them had a colour, the one at the left was black, the one at the center was golden and the one at the right was white. The 3 parts then fused into one, that had a greyish color and at the tip, the blade seemed to extend a bit to the side. Grimson was puzzled and his first reaction was to use [Appraisal] on the giant key. {Keyblade : Sword without Cutting Edge, This weapon is useful against Unversed, Heartless, Nobodies and Dream Eater, Ability to Open and Seal World''s Barrier, Can be used like a Keys, By Using Light/Darkness you can extend the Keyblade''s Length, Grimson was quite disappointed looking at the descriptions of this ''Keyblade'', this weapon was surely the result of the lottery where he received [Norting], [Rage Form] and the other 2 summoning cards. Nonetheless, Grimson still decided to take this ''Keyblade'' because it seemed that he couldn''t open his [Inventory] but still received 3 Quests. {Quest : Choose Your Goal! Everyone needs a Goal to become stronger, you should have one! {Quest : Revenge! The 4 Gods forced you to use the Coffin, after waking up, Kill them! Reward : [Base Function] {Chain Quest : What Happened! You entered the Coffin but why aren''t you in the [Train ! Sleep !] World? Find where you are first! Out of the 3 Quests Grimson received, 2 could be done during his 15 Years of Sleep, Grimson decided to start with the [Chain Quest]. First of all, he was in a cell, Second of All, Grimson was weakened by about 30% Lastly, the metal bars of the Cell seemed to be extremely resistant, even when Grimson attacked it, it wouldn''t be damaged. Luckily, Grimson already learned the word, ''Disassemble'', but even with it, Grimson decided to leave because it''s too boring to wait in a cell for him even though he needed information and rashly leaving was a bad idea. After opening his cell, Grimson looked around and saw that the corridor wasn''t very long and quickly saw a door, he first decided to put try to hear something, he used a Sound Imbuing on his ears, this allowed him to hear if people behind the doors were talking. Very soon, Grimson started hearing things, "Wait . . I feel that the energy is fluctuating, someone just used Magic" "What! There is only us, except for the one in the cell but he should be too weak to be able to use Magic! Do you think it''s one of the people that think that what we''re doing is a bad idea?" "This is the only possibility, quickly go check the cell" Grimson hearing that, quickly went back to his cell, he decided to sneak attack them. Grimson at his cell, then closed his eyes and started using his ears, footsteps were coming closer to him, "Uh, The Bars just got disassembled !" " . . That''s not the strangest, what''s this strange weapon in his hands? That could be risky if he wakes up with a weapon, after all we never know" Grimson directly took the Keyblade and smashed toward the nearest voice, the person who got hit by the attack got badly injured, as for the other person, he seemed to have already known that and didn''t try to help his colleague being attacked. Grimson saw that and decided to continue attacking the one he first started with, the person then quickly screamed, "Wyir, What are you doing! Help me!" The other person then started laughing and said "Mike, you still can''t understand, I''m part of the Liberator, why should I help you?" "You Traitorous Bas-!" Before he could finish his sentence, he collapsed after being repeatedly hit by Grimson. Grimson then killed him and talked to the one standing still, doing nothing. "You, Explain to me, what is with this Liberator stuff and all!" "Calm Down first, I was going to explain, you see, the moment you created the [Sea of Consciousness], some people thought of seizing control of the body, thinking that with the System, they''ll become the Strongest Gods, those peoples were just a minority but after seeing you being a petty bastard and being generally a bad person, more people thought of you as being unworthy of receiving the System and joined the peoples that wanted to seize the body, they then became a faction, the Conqueror. As for the Liberator, although we don''t like what you do, we think that seizing the body is pointless because we already had our lives and decided to give you a chance and let you continue using this body as long as you change your personnality. Now, will you use this chance and change your personnality?" "Obviously, I will !" "I don''t need your words, first, you''ll need to destroy the Conqueror Faction or else you''ll have your body seized, I''ll start by removing the restraints that caused you to become weaker" While the person from the [Liberator] was removing the restraints, Grimson checked the content of the next Part of the Chain Quest, during the conversation, he had understood that he was currently in the [Sea of Consciousness]. {Chain Quest : How Dare You! How dare they try to seize your body? End this ! Rewards : Access to Next Part of the Quest, [Train ! Sleep !] Evolve If Grimson were to fail this quest, his entire Soul would get destroyed, this was probably the worst thing that could happen, this caused his fighting will to be flared up. 62 Chapter 63 - I fucking hate my job . . Grimson was still puzzled, first of all, what would be the next part of this quest and how did his [Sea of Consciousness] grow at this point? How were they able to create things such as cell, door and trap him. The Wyir who was about to finish removing the restrain, saw the puzzled expression of Grimson and quickly understood, he directly spoke to clear his confusion, "While you were becoming stronger, the normally ethereal body of the spirits started becoming more and more physical, the Sea then started looking like a real world, some having builder and architect skills, due to that, a real city was quickly made. During that time, we also started recovering part of our strength but we''re limited, right now, we have individually 70% of your strength but even with this, I could probably beat you, the main reason is that we compensate the lack of strength with good control. There! The restrain is removed, you''re now free to use your full strength." Although the explanations about the changes of the [Sea of Consciousness] and the fact that the Spirits started getting strength were a bit weird, Grimson didn''t care and just starting using his ''Status'' to see if he truly got back his strength, a second later, he nodded. He then started noticing something strange, the body of the deceased Spirit started glowing, Grimson directly started looting the Body and got a crystal having a greyish glow, when he used [Appraisal], he was quite shocked at what he read. {Memory Stone : When Grimson read that, he was ready to use that [Memory Stone], if not for Wyir stopping him, "Don''t! This Memory Stone holds all of this dude''s memory, it takes a lot of time for one to absorb that much memory, the best way for you to use this would be using them all at once, with your [Consciousness Splitting], you''ll be able to successfully receive multiple memories at a time!" Disheartened, Grimson could only keep the [Memory Stone] in his hands, he seemed to be unable to open the [Inventory] inside this place after all . . Before they left this place, Wyir asked if Grimson wanted to teach the Skill that allowed him to know when Grimson casted a spell. Grimson directly accepted, ''I can get a free skill, why the fuck wouldn''t I accept'' he thought. Wyir then started teaching, "You have to release your Magic Power in the form of a Sphere around your body then try to keep the Sphere in the same state as it was the moment you created it. This Sphere will be the extension of your body, using this, you''ll normally be able to feel every kind of magic changes within this Sphere, as you grow, you''ll be able to have a bigger Sphere." Grimson nodded and tried, he succeeded on his first try and received the skill [Magic Sense]. After the Liberator confirmed that Grimson successfully learned the skill, nodded and told Grimson to get prepared to leave, while preparing, Grimson seemed to have found something strange, the Body of the dead Spirit disappeared, it seemed to have become only ash, although this was quite weird, it was an efficient way to hide the body. After this discovery, a Disguised Grimson and a Liberator left the prison, just outside was a forest, the Conquerors seemed to have decided to keep the Prison''s location a secret but they didn''t expect that one of the guardian was a spy. They quickly left the forest and wandered a bit in the wild, at a moment, Wyir stopped and spoke, "Mr. Stark, I don''t feel so good . . I don''t kn- I don''t know what''s happening" Ignoring the strange look given by Grimson, he just waited until an enormous gate appeared then a guard who seemed to be trying not to laugh opened it. Before they entered, Wyir spoke to the guard, "You have to say your part or else how do I know you''re not a spy?" "Come on, Wyir you know it''s me" "Josh, you also knew it''s me but you waited for me to say the code" The guard sighed and said "Mr stark? Hey . . mr stark . . can you hear me? it''s peter . . hey . . we won . . mr stark . . we won, you did it . . . sir . . you did it . . im sorry . . Tony . ." After hearing those words, a smiling Wyir and a laughing Grimson entered the city through the gate. Not without hearing the guard muttering "I fucking hate my job . . " The hidden city was filled with building that reached the sky, some flying cars, robots . . . It was amazing seeing that only the spirits of his past lives were able to create so much technology in such a short amount of time . ''They are really worthy to be my past lives'' Grimson thought. Grimson followed Wyir until reached a ''Cyber Cafe'', in this place, there were no computers, only some kind of small room, in those rooms were the pods that would allow one to enter a virtual world, it seemed that although they were entangled in some kind of war, they didn''t forget the entertainment . . . "Um . . Why did you bring me here?" Grimson asked, "We''re going to make you stronger, although in here you can''t get exp, we''ll give you some combat experience and allow you to have a better control at your body" Wyir directly responded "Isn''t that useless? Absolute power will allow me to kill everything anyway . . " "Obviously not, when you fight, you waste strength wanting to go at full power everytime, you have to use your power more efficiently, we can take the character called "Vegeta", he would go in a form called "Super Saiyan God" so that he wouldn''t waste his stamina, only at the moment he striked would he go into ''Super Saiyan Blue'', this allowed him to have the same strength when he attacked but wouldn''t waste his stamina by always staying in ''Super Saiyan Blue'' " Wyir explained "But . . I have [Fatigue Resistance] . . " Wyir seemingly being annoyed answering Grimson, just dragged him and forced him to go into one of the pods . . 63 Chapter 64 - Virtual Game After entering the pod, Grimson reached an empty space and was required to choose a nickname, in the end, he just chose Grimson, after that, he saw 5 Panels [Missions] [Online] [Friends] [Shop] [Exit] After looking at the 5 Panels, he decided to choose [Online], when he tried tapping on it, an error message appeared, [To Unlock Online, You need to finish 5 Missions] Disappointed, Grimson pressed [Mission] and started the first mission, [Stuck against a Wolf]. After pressing this mission, a message asking Grimson to close his eyes appeared, when Grimson re-opened his eyes, he saw that he was in some kind of forest with kids that looked about 12 Years old, looking at his body, it seemed that he also became a child, when he opened his ''Status'', it didn''t seem to change but the Body couldn''t exert his strength due to the fact it was in a virtual world. [In this Mission, Using the Resources you Have, you must successfully defeat the Wolf] After walking for a bit with the other kids, a huge howling was heard, after that, the kids started panicking and ran to leave the Forest, Grimson seeing that, decided to search for a weapon, in the end, he could only find some rather sturdy Tree Branches and some stone, Grimson then opened the backpack that he got after starting the mission. In the backpack, there were some snacks, some books, a pencil case and inside the pencil case there was some tape. Using this tape, the branches and a rather big stone, Grimson successfully created a Mace but due to the materials used, the Mace looked like it was about to break. With the Body Grimson received, the Mace was quite hard to carry. Very soon, Grimson heard the screams of some kids, it seems that the Wolf successfully reached them, using the sounds of the screams, Grimson was able to successfully sneak near the Wolf, he then started to wait until the good moment. After waiting for several seconds, Grimson finally found the good moment, he then quickly ran toward the wolf and used his Mace to smash the Wolf''s head. The Wolf after getting hurt, quickly prepared to jump and attack Grimson. The moment the Wolf tried attacking, Grimson took his backpack and tried to attack the Wolf using it, although the Wolf''s attack was successfully stopped, the backpack was destroyed, without thinking, Grimson took out the book and quickly launched another assault toward the Wolf. Grimson started by throwing the Book toward the Wolf who directly attacked it, while it was attacking the Book, Grimson already attacked using his Mace. This time, the Wolf looked to be badly injured, seeing that it was about to die, it tried to run away, Grimson already knew that he was unable to keep up with the Wolf''s speed so what he did was just throwing Numerous Stone toward the Wolf. Although some stones hit the Wolf, it was unable to stop him and the moment it escaped, a message appeared in front of Grimson. [You Successfully Defeated the Wolf! Mission Completion Rank : C Reward : 100 Coins] With the 100 Coins, Grimson directly opened the [Shop], in the [Shop], he was able to buy Items for the Missions and Online, he was also able to buy abilities such as [Dash]. Grimson decided to use the 100 Coins to buy a Bow with infinite Arrows for 90 Coins and with the remaining 10 Coins, he bought the skill [Dash]. After leaving the [Shop], he saw that the [Friends] had a little one in the corner, opening the Panel, he saw that he received a Friend Request from [Wyir], after accepting, Grimson sent a message, "When can I leave the Pod? ????" "I''ll allow you to leave when you finish 3 Missions with S as Mission Completion Rank" "Anyway, why would you guys create a Virtual Game and how did you guys make it so quickly !?" "We''re more than 10 Billions Spirits right now, obviously some people would want to create entertainment and some people already worked in creating some Virtual Games so that was quite easy re-creating an already existing one" "Ok then, I''m just gonna finish 3 Mission with S-Rank Mission Completion" After that, Grimson directly chose to do the First mission again, he then got a message asking if he wanted to bring the Bow with infinite arrows with him in this mission. He accepted and received a warning that it would increase the Quest Difficulty. Grimson didn''t care and directly accepted. [In this mission, You have to successfully end the Wolves'' Attack!] This time, although he still had the same body, there was an adult with them, in addition, every of the kids and the adult had a bow and Grimson also had a small knife. This didn''t look like a more difficult body, it looked to be even easier. Grimson readied his bow and became ready to shoot in the direction of the adult the moment the Wolf attacked him. Like Grimson thought, very soon, a figure jumped really fast toward the Adult but before it could reach him, Grimson shot the Figure. And as expected, it was a wolf. It seemed that the death of one of their fellow wolf, triggered the group of wolves to attack the group of humans. Although Grimson didn''t have his Stats and he was unable to use his skills except for the one he bought, he still had incredible Archery. With this, Grimson was able to aim toward the Weak Point of the Wolves, mostly the Eyes, inside their mouths and the regular vital point such as the Heart. But even with this, due to the massive flow of Wolves, Grimson would be unable to kill them all before getting killed, the only way out for him right now would be killing the Wolf leading the group, after looking for about 30 Seconds, Grimson finally found it but he was totally unable to shot him due to the sheer amount of wolves surrounding him. Due to this, Grimson could only regretfully try to kill the Wolves and hope that he would be able to find an opening and successfully kill the Leader. After about 5 Minutes, the Humans started to run out of Arrows, it seemed that although they were kids, they were quite skilled. Finally, Grimson found a way to successfully reach the Leader Wolf, he directly used [Dash] and rushed toward the Wolf, he then used his Knife to attack the Wolf''s weak point, although Grimson was quite fast in doing that, he was still hurt by a lot of claw attacks, due to this, although he was able to kill the Leader Wolf, he finished badly injured. The adult was quite shocked when he saw that Grimson rushed toward one of the Wolf, he then directly ordered the other Kid to shoot the Wolves surrounding Grimson. Grimson successfully took this chance to rush back using [Dash]. Due to losing their Leader, some Wolves started retreating, this made the Humans fired up and started shooting more arrows toward the remaining Wolves, in the end, only Grimson and another Kid were badly injured. As for the others, they only had minor injuries. [You Successfully ended the Attack without Casualties Mission Completion Rank : S Reward : 300 Coins] 64 Chapter 65 - Forbidden Love!? After ending the Mission 1 with S-Grade, Grimson directly went to the [Shop] and bought new skills, [Quick Arrow] for 100 Coins, [Anti-Army Arrow] for 150 Coins and [Hawk Eye [Inferior]] for 20 Coins [Quick Arrow : Passive Skill, Make Every Arrows 20% Faster] [Anti-Army Arrow : Active Skill, when Used, between 20-40 Arrows are shot in one direction, every of those arrows are 30% Weaker than a regular one Cooldown : 1 Minute] [Hawk Eye [Inferior] : Passive Skill, Can see a rabbit from 500 Meters away] As for the last 30 Coins, Grimson used them on the new panel that had appeared after buying the [Infinite Arrow Bow], the [Upgrade] panel, in this panel, Grimson could use his coins to upgrade some parts of the bow and the arrows. After looking at every options, Grimson decided to upgrade the Piercing Effect of the Arrow for 30 Coins. After doing all this, Grimson directly started the Second Mission [Castle Defence]. [In this Mission, you''ll have to change between the 4 Characters stationned in the East, West, North and South Walls and using those characters, you''ll have to protect the wall against the Monster Waves. To change between every character, you must say "West or East or North or South Change"] After reading the message, Grimson started hearing something, "First Wave Incoming! Affected Walls : North and East" In the distance, a huge group of Monsters started rushing toward the Wall where Grimson was standing. Grimson first started by regularly shooting the head of the numerous Monsters, although he could easily kill them and was really fast at that, the numbers of the monsters was too high, that''s why he tried changing to a Weapon such as a cannon. Strangely, when he went to take a cannon, nobody stopped him, Grimson just shrugged it of, maybe the body he was in was a high-ranked Soldier? The cannon Grimson used seemed to be even stronger than the [Magic Cannon] from the System because this Cannon was able to kill about fifty monsters in just 1 shot. The only problem was the reloading speed taking about 1 minute but even in this task, he was helped by other soldiers, that''s why everytime he needed to reload, he would use [Anti-Army Arrow] then continue shooting during the remaining time. Very soon, the Monsters were all killed, after this, Grimson quickly tried changing his body, "North Change!" [You''re already on the North Wall] "East Change!" [You''re now on the East Wall] After getting transported to the East Wall, Grimson nearly puked, he seemed to have teleportation sickness. After healing from his teleportation sickness, Grimson looked at the Monsters and saw that they were nearing the walls, in about 2 Minutes, they would be able to reach the Walls. But obviously, the Soldiers on the East Wall didn''t stay idle so there were only about ~100 Monsters coming, due to them not being aligned, using the cannon was pointless. After the 1 Minute cooldown of the [Anti-Army Arrow] was finished, Grimson used it but didn''t immediately finish the First Wave after that, the reason was that he was trying to wait until the [Anti-Army Arrow]''s cooldown was finished. Sadly, he was unable to do that due to a Soldier killing the last Monster. "Second Wave Incoming! Affected Walls : East, West, North" When he heard that, Grimson directly went toward a Cannon, shot once then continued using his Arrows and used [Anti-Army Arrow] once, after the cooldown of [Anti-Army Arrow] ended, Grimson changed to another Wall. He then used [Anti-Army Arrow] and shot with the cannon, after the [Anti-Army Arrow]''s cooldown ended, Grimson changed to another Wall yet again. Using this Strategy, Grimson was able to finish the Second Wave and Third Wave, at the end of the Third Wave, The Durability of the Walls were, East - 50%, West - 49%, - South - 64% - North 42%. Grimson was expecting to lose at the Fourth Wave but what he heard was really unexpected. "Last Wave Incoming! Affected Wall : South" In this Wave, Numerous Monsters appeared and a Gigantic Monster also appeared but was further behind, it seemed that it was the Boss Wave. What Grimson did was first attacking the Monsters and decided to kill the Boss at the very end. Although Grimson successfully killed the Monsters, the Boss was about 1000 Meters from the Wall. With his speed, only 2 Minutes would be required to reach the Wall and potentially destroy it in 1 hit. Due to the distance of the Boss, Grimson was only able to use his Bow and try to aim for the Boss'' Legs. After the Boss walked for more than 300 Meters, something strange happened, the Boss seemed to have disappeared, Grimson first though that the Boss had died but quickly realised that the Boss had teleported to the North Wall. What puzzled Grimson with this was that if the Boss could teleport, Why didn''t it directly teleport in the city ? Grimson quickly stopped thinking about that as he needed to kill the Boss. After walking for another 300 Meters, Boss teleported yet again, this time, he went to the East Wall, and after teleporting, the Boss also became faster. 350 Meters . . 300 Meters . . 200 Meters . . 100 Meters . . 50 Meters. After reaching this distance, Grimson heard the sound of about 30 Cannons shooting at the same time and a voice was heard, Grimson first thought that the Cannons killed the Boss . . . "A Monster Reached 50 Meters, Last Plan Used! Cannon''s Reloading Speed is now 10 Seconds" But this was still good, before the Boss could hit the Wall, the cannons could hit for a final time. About 5 Seconds after Grimson heard the message, the [Anti-Army]''s Cooldown ended, Grimson didn''t think much and directly used it, 40 Arrows were shot and all of them hit the gigantic Boss. 5 Seconds after that, 30 Cannons were used, The Boss started showing sign of being about to die. Nonetheless, the Boss still succeeded in hitting the Wall Once, just this hit caused 40% of durability loss. Before being able to hit the Wall a second time, the Boss finally died. [You Succeeded in defending the 4 Walls against the Monsters Mission Completion Rank : S Reward : 1000 Coins] Before going to the [Shop], Grimson first started looking at the Third Mission Unlocked, [Forbidden Love]. Looking at the Mission''s description, Grimson could only scream one thing, "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?" 65 Chapter 66 - Archery God Inferior The Third Mission was an Escort Mission, Grimson would have to protect the 2 Lovers, One Angel and One Demon, both were females but that wasn''t the weirdest, it seemed that the Demon was pregnant with the Angel''s baby . . It seemed that this Quest would be hard using only Bows, Grimson didn''t want to use Coins on another weapon so he bought [Stealth] for 100 Coins and [Surprise Shot] for 50 Coins. He then used 800 Coins to buy [Archery God (Inferior)], with the remaining 50 Coins, Grimson increased the Arrow''s Damage by 5%. [Stealth : Passive Skill, It''s harder for people to find your presence] [Surprise Shot : Active Skill, Attack causing 150% of regular damage but can only be used when the Target doesn''t know of your presence. Cooldown Time : 30 Seconds] [Archery God (Inferior): Passive Skill, When a Bow is Equipped, +20% Damage, +10% Accuracy, +5% Piercing Effect] After using all of his coins, Grimson started the 3rd Mission. [In This Mission, You''ll have to protect the 2 Lovers until they reach Fraulr City] The moment he entered the body, Grimson directly went into hiding but still followed the 2 Lovers using his Increased Vision. After walking for 100 Meters, the first Obstacle appeared, it was a Young Demon, Grimson wasn''t sure if it was an Enemy so he first started looking at the interactions of the 2 Lovers and the Young Demon. It seemed that the Young Demon and the Demon Lover knew each other, after they talked for a bit, the Young Demon unsheathed his weapon and looked at the Angel Lover with hate. The moment he unsheathed his Weapon, Grimson directly prepared his Surprise Shot. Before the Young Demon could attack the Angel Lover, he was hit by an arrow that caused his death. The 2 Lovers didn''t seem to be really shocked by his sudden death, they quickly continued walking, before being interrupted by a Human. Looking at his armors and weapons, this Human could be called a [Hero], although Grimson was far from the 3 of them, he could still hear a bit of what the Human was screaming. "Angel . . Demon . . Disgusting Love . . You shall . . purified . . World . . I . . Savior" This time, before the Human could unsheathe his weapon, he was already killed. The 2 Lovers then walked until they could see what seemed to be the gate of the city, they quickly showed a face filled with joy until they saw a group of at least 10 Peoples, in this group, there were Angels and Demons. After seeing them, the 2 Lover''s expression quickly changed . Grimson could see the change of expression and directly shot one of the People, although the person quickly died, the Group found the position of Grimson. Soon, 2 Angels quickly rushed toward Grimson''s position who already prepared to shoot them. Very soon, one of the 2 Angels died, as for the other one, he was already very close to Grimson who this time didn''t try shooting with his bow but used an arrow to attack the Angel. The Angel with his spear quickly attacked Grimson but before he could, Grimson threw Sand into his eyes. Using this despicable method, Grimson was able to dodge a really dangerous attack and successfully kill the Angel, nonetheless, he was still hit by the Angel''s attack. After finishing battling the 2 Angels, Grimson saw that The 2 Lovers and the Group of 7 were entangled in a fight. Grimson used a [Surprise Shot] before rushing toward the Group of now 6 Peoples, he then used [Anti-Army Arrow]. With this attack, 3 Peoples died, as for the remaining 3, one was directly killed by the Angel Lover, this left only 2 Peoples, who seemed to have decided to give up and quickly started running. Grimson looking at the Peoples running, quickly readied his bow and shot twice. The 2 Arrows reached their Heads and killed them. After killing all of them, the 2 Lovers continued walking until they finally entered Fraulr City. Grimson truly wondered how could this Mission be hard? It was really easy. [You Succeeded in Escorting the 2 Lovers with only Minimal Injuries Mission Completion Rank : A Reward : 1750 Coins] After seeing that he only got Rank A, Grimson started thinking about how he could get S-Rank. ''Maybe I need to be close to them? Or, it should be the fact that we received Minimal Injuries? But during the 1st Mission, they didn''t care about the Injuries . . But there was a lot of peoples during the 1st mission so they probably wouldn''t care but this time, the quest is about Escorting forcing me to make sure they sustain no Injuries to reach S-Rank'' After Having thought of that, he directly went into the Shop to buy the skill, [Multi-Shot], he then upgraded his [Archery God (inferior)] to [Archery God (Minimal)] [Multi-Shot : Passive Skill, You''ll now shoot 2 Arrows at the same time +10% Reloading Speed] [Archery God (Minimal) : Passive Skill, When a Bow is Equipped, +40% Damage, +20% Accuracy, +10% Piercing Effect +5% Reloading Speed] With this, Grimson started the 3rd Mission yet again but this time made sure to be near the 2 Lovers and would shoot the moment he saw the Obstacles. Grimson easily completed the quest yet again and this time reached the S-Grade completion Rank by sustaining No Injuries. After he finished his 3Rd Mission with S-Grade Completion Rank, he directly opened his [Friends] panel and sent a message to Wyir. "I finished, soo easy, ????" "I don''t believe you ????, let me check your profile" Some Seconds after, Wyir sent another message. "Shit, I can''t believe you already finished this, I thought you would take hours! I guess you can use the [Exit] Panel now . . We''re going to do true training" Immediately, Grimson closed the [Friend] Panel and tapped on the [Exit] Panel. 66 Chapter 67 - Wyir Would Probably Cry After exiting the pod, Grimson was directly grabbed by Wyir and was dragged until they reached a place where multiple peoples were training. Wyir threw Grimson unto the ground before saying, "FIRST TRAINING! BEING ABLE TO ENDURE HIT!" Wyir then made a sign to the people training, the people then started nodding as they understood and quickly rushed toward Grimson with their wooden weapons before starting to furiously beating Grimson. Grimson at first thought that he would be fine, he would just receive damage but with [Pain Immunity] he would be fine, he didn''t expect that while he was being dragged around, Wyir was creating a seal for his [Pain Immunity]. The moment he started getting hit, Grimson started trying to retaliate, everytime he tried, one of the person beating him up, would attack his ankles causing him to fall. Due to having [Pain Immunity] for a rather long time, Grimson truly forgot the feeling of pain, this caused the beating to feel even more painful than normal. After 3 Minutes of trying to retaliate, Grimson finally found an opening and directly used the [Thu''um], "FUCK YOU! FUS-RO-DAH!" this attack left all of the peoples confused, Grimson took this chance to use [Soru] to leave this encirclement. Grimson then created multiple clones and used [Rhythm Echo] with all of them. The massive number started causing an headache to everyone watching this scene, this continued until an enormous beam of lightning appeared, it was the [Lightning Dragon''s Roar]. This sudden attack caused a lot of the person in the Training Ground to get badly injured, as for the remaining ones, they directly gave up. Watching this scene, Wyir and an elderly person were talking, "Wyir you already knew that it would end like that right?" The smiling elder said, Wyir nodded without saying anything, "I guess it''s fine, it''s probably like that, at least we know that he isn''t a spineless coward . . . " The elder said after nodding in approval. After he said that, the Elder disappeared and Wyir went to see Grimson. "Wyir, you bastard!" Grimson screamed out in anger. "I think we should do the training again, you still didn''t learn to shut up" Wyir said while having an evil grin on his face Grimson sneered, "With who? Nobody will dare to fight me . ." "I''ll take that as an approval, we''ll do the training again but this time, it''ll be me beating you up" After saying that, Wyir directly attacked Grimson with a truly vicious attack, Grimson after receiving the attack quickly fell to the ground with tear in his eyes while trying to protect his balls, "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Grimson cried before his eyes turned red from anger . . A notification appeared, [You Entered Rage Mode! One Seal of [Perfect Body] has been temporarily removed! the Seal on [Pain Immunity] has been lifted! All Stats +25%! Last 5 Minutes!] Wyir seeing the enraged Grimson with red eyes thought, ''I might''ve fucked up this time . .'' Grimson started to furiously attack Wyir, and although Wyir could use his incredible Reflexes, he wouldn''t be able to fill the gap between him and the enraged Grimson, he would eventually get hit. Having thought of that, Wyir quickly took out what seemed to be a phone and sent a message to someone, he then silently prayed that the person would quickly come to save him. Very soon, a figure silently appeared behind the Enraged Grimson before inserting a needle inside Grimson''s neck. Grimson''s body started to lose all strength before it eventually lost all of its strength and fell to the ground. " *Phew*, Luke I owe you one . . " "Yeah no problem, anyway, what did you do to make him enter this mode?" "Uuh . . He started annoying me so I used my [Ball-Kicking] technique . . " The Embarrassed Wyir said, *Hiss* Luke hearing that unconsciously shivered . . Wyir seeing his friend shivering after hearing of what he did tried to quickly change the subject, "So . . what do we do with him?" Luke took out a bottle from his bag before handing it to Wyir, "Make him drink this [Heart Calming Potion] when he wakes up, that should end the form" Wyir hesitated before saying, "Can''t you do it for me? You''re the Alchemist here after all . ." "Fuck you, you put yourself in this shit, it''s not my problem!" Luke said before quickly leaving. Wyir pondered for a while before chaining Grimson. Grimson woke up after about 1 Hour of sleep, the moment he saw he was chained, he immediately used all of his strength to destroy the chains, the huge sound made Wyir come, the moment Grimson saw Wyir, he started trying to break free even more furiously. Wyir gulped before taking out the [Heart Calming Potion], the moment he approached, Grimson started trying to bite him, after multiple tries and getting bitten multiple times, Wyir successfully made Grimson drink the potion. Thankfully, Wyir didn''t know that the Rage Mode of Grimson would only last 5 Minutes and he was only 1 Second away from leaving the Rage Mode, otherwise, Wyir would probably cry . . 67 Chapter 68 - Mana Veil After regaining his senses, Grimson was puzzled, he first thought that the [Rage Mode] was a result of the [Anger] Unique Skill. Wyir already knew that Grimson would be puzzled by what happened, he quickly explained, "The Power you harnessed doesn''t come from your [Anger] skill, it''s something that all of us already experienced in our lives, from what we currently know, 4 Stages exist : Rage, Hate, Fury, Berserk. Every stages can be entered through pure anger but some are able to fully master a stage to be able to enter it at will. Currently, I can only enter the Rage Mode but am unable to control myself." Grimson took some time to process what Wyir told him, after having processed everything, he spoke, "So, are you going to untie me?" "Ah . . Uh . . Right . . " Wyir then proceeded to untie Grimson. Wyir then asked Grimson to follow him, they then walked until they reached the gate of a gigantic building, Wyir opened the door before pushing Grimson inside, he then proceeded to say, "Here, Luke will teach you the art of assassination and alchemy" He then quickly closed the door. Grimson first tried to destroy the gate but seemed to be unable to do any damages, even the Walls seemed to be impossible to damage. This forced Grimson to search in the gigantic building filled with darkness a person named "Luke". After strolling in the building for a bit, Grimson opened a door, but before he could even see what was inside, he was quickly caught by someone who placed an iron needle near his neck. "Why are you here?" The person asked, "You better put away this needle" Grimson said with an annoyed expression "Oh . . Who is going to force me?" The person sneered, Grimson visibly annoyed stealthily created the ''Space Lock'' Words, he didn''t expect that the Person saw that and directly inserted their needle inside his neck. Grimson quickly fell to the ground, the Needle seemed to have been coated with an incredibly strong Paralysis Poison. ''Fuck, how did they see me making a word!?'' Grimson thought The Person then started using a normal [Torch] spell, they started looking closely at Grimson''s face. "Oh . . It''s you, I think you''re called Grimson, why are you here?" Grimson gritted his teeth and said, "Wyir . . told . . me . . search . . Luke . ." Although Grimson lost all his strength, he was still able to speak a bit The person took out their phone and sent a message, they then took out a bottle and forced Grimson to drink it. "Just wait here, Luke will be coming" the Person said Grimson who got his strength back quickly used ''Space Lock'' this time, after having immobilised the Person, Grimson used a [Torch] Spell to see who was that person. The person was surprisingly a woman although she seemed to be a man due to her low voice, this Woman also had Elves'' ear and had dark skin but due to the fact she prefered using Assassination art, Grimson could only think of one race, the [Night Elves]. in fact, at first, Grimson thought that this person was Luke. Some Seconds later, Luke finally arrived, after seeing the Immobilised woman, Luke felt a huge headache and said, "Could you release her?" "It''ll cost you money for that . ." Luke gritted his teeth and reluctantly said, "Apart from teaching you the Art of Asssassination and Alchemy, I will teach you the Hidden Weapons . ." "I prefer this . . " Grimson nodded before stopping the ''Space Lock'' on the Woman. ''Wyir, this fucking bastard . .'' Luke thought Meanwhile, in a restaurant, Wyir was having a huge feast, the reason of this feast was because he finally found a way to get rid of Grimson, while eating, he unexpectedly sneezed, ''Oh . . it seems that Grimson finally found Luke'' before resuming Eating while having a huge grin on his face. "So what are we going to start with?" Luke asked, "Hidden Weapons . . " Immediately after Grimson said that, a needle started flying toward his neck, Grimson directly caught it using 2 fingers, "That''s your Hidden Weapon? That''s shit . . " Grimson said with evident disdain, Luke only grinned at what Grimson said, the Needle was fully coated with poison and this Poison was extremely potent, this caused Grimson to be immediately poisoned the moment he grabbed the needle. When Grimson saw that he was affected by a Poison using his status, he immediately ordered Luke to give the antidote. Luke only grinned and said, "Now we''ll start training, I''ll give you the antidote only if you can master the use of Hidden Weapon" Due to the threat of the poison, Grimson was forced to quickly master the Hidden Weapon. Unlike what Grimson thought, the Hidden Weapons didn''t have the purpose of killing but its purpose was purely poisoning. The reason for that was that it would be nearly impossible for a small needle to kill someone, as for using bigger items such as throwing knives, it seemed to be totally pointless because it would require more poison and it would be easier to find. When the Hidden Weapons were fully mastered by Grimson, Luke immediately started with the Art of Assassination. He first started by teaching a way to fully conceal one''s Mana, this was quite easy for Grimson to master that was because he was needed to learn that to conceal his Hidden Weapons. Very quickly, Grimson succeeded in fully covering all of his Mana and his presence using Magic, this Skill was also successfully shown in the Status with the name [Mana Veil]. 68 Chapter 69 - The Plan After having mastered [Mana Veil], Luke started teaching some of his skills to Grimson, the first thing Luke taught was related to [Stealth], Grimson didn''t really care about what he was being taught, ''I already have the [Stealth] skill, what can he teach me anyway . . '' he thought. {Due to the Teaching of a Master, When Grimson saw this notification his eyes widened and he looked to be more attentive to whatever Luke was saying. After Luke finished his lessons on how to be stealthy, Grimson''s [Stealth] upgraded 2 times, the first time, it allowed Grimson to now walk without making a sound and be able to hide the sound of him breathing. As for the second time it evolved, Grimson could now hide the sound of his heart beating. After talking about [Stealth], Luke finally taught some actual Skills, such as [Back Stab], although the Skill sounds easy to do, it actually required insane accuracy, such as Grimson needed to try about 100 times to finally be able to learn this skill. After Luke taught everything, every skill related to Assassination became 1 Skill in the ''Status'', it became [Art of Assassination]. As for [Alchemy], it only upgraded once while listening to Luke''s teaching, the effect of this upgrade allowed Grimson to create Poison that would be 50% more effective. After having finally finished this month of listening to Luke''s boring teaching , Grimson was eager to try everything. Grimson quickly found out where Wyir lived, he then set up his hidden weapons, the moment Wyir left his home, he was assaulted by multiple needles, due to Wyir having a really strong [Mana Sense], he was able to find out every needle and dodged every Needle except for one that was hidden using [Mana Veil]. The Needle was only able to make a small hole on Wyir''s nape but the poison on it was already taking effect, Wyir was already getting weakened. After that Grimson used one of the Skill he was taught that allowed him to quickly render unconscious an enemy. Grimson then quickly tied Wyir, when Wyir woke up, he screamed, "Grimson, untie me right now!" "Nah, you''ll have to pay for that . ." "I already taught you [Mana Sense] isn''t that enough!?" "You better give me something or else . . " Grimson started grinning "FUCK! WHAT DO YOU WANT!" Wyir screamed out in anger "I want you to teach me the [Peach Ravaging] Technique . . . " Wyir gritted his teeth and started teaching Grimson . . Not long after, Grimson finally received the [Peach Ravaging] technique. After receiving the skill, Grimson finally untied Wyir, the moment he was untied, Wyir tried to use the [Peach Ravaging] technique''s first move, [Monkey Steals Peaches] but he was stopped by Grimson. Failing his attack, Wyir could only give up and took out his phone to see the message he received while he was tied. After seeing the message, his face quickly went pale and asked Grimson to follow him. While they were walking toward a huge building, Grimson''s head quickly went dizzy, in his head, he started having image, this looked like when he saw the 4 Gods, it was the effect of [Foresight]. This time, he wasn''t in a dangerous position but he seemed to have won the fight, he was looking at a Quest Notification but when he received it, his expression seemed to have changed and nothing after that. Grimson started to wonder what kind of Quest would have caused him to have that reaction . . While he was thinking, he continued following Wyir until they reaching the building. After entering the building, Grimson saw multiple person talking, among those peoples, Grimson saw Luke and Lan the Night Elf who attacked Grimson and was also the disciple of Luke. While Grimson was still thinking about what he saw, Wyir already spoke, "I received the message, what''s happening?" "Through one of our spy, we found out that they already know the location of our headquarter" Luke answered Luke then continued, "And now, we are currently debating about what to do next" Wyir nodded but still showed a puzzled expression before he could speak, a rather elderly person who seemed to understand why Wyir was puzzled already spoke, "The reason why we asked him to come was because we thought of using him, we already received the confirmation from Luke that he was skilled enough" Wyir retorted, "But he won''t be able to do an-" The elder''s face darkened, "Wyir . . you already know that the [Liberator]''s view is that he can still have a chance to prove his value, if he can''t even help in the battle against the people that try to seize his body then he''s worthless . . " Before Wyir could continue retorting, People already surrounded Grimson and him, they then captured Grimson, "Wyir, you have to leave . . " Luke said with a bitter face . . Grimson during the whole thing showed an expressionless face, during the whole thing, someone was sending him Message through [Telepathy], the whole plan was that he would be sent directly to the [Conqueror], they already knew that he wouldn''t be killed but only kept as a prisoner. After that, he would be freed by a Spy yet again, this time, they were also already sure that Grimson would be kept prisoner in one of the City controlled by the [Conqueror], after successfully getting out, he would use a phone that he would''ve hidden using [Fake] to communicate with the [Liberator]. The [Liberator] would then be able to track the Phone''s location and find the location of the city.
