Chapter 109: The Succubus Princess Offers Her Tail and Lets Put a Ring on It (3)
anwhile, Rong had retreated to her room at lightning speed.
Her blanket flew into the air before floating gently back down.
The bedspread was already scattered, forming a lump where she had hidden herself.
Her upper body was buried under the covers, but her lower half remained exposed.
Her tail wagged enthusiastically, the ring on it gleaming faintly under the moonlight.
When the ring had been placed on her tail, it had imdiately copied itself.
Shia ran his fingers over the charm ring in his hand.
The previously cheap-looking novice ring now seed to emit a silvery radiance, carrying an air of mystery.
With this, Shia successfully unlocked the first seal of the charm ring.
The prerequisites for his hidden profession were finally taking shape—it was ti to begin!
The charm ring’s interface had already undergone a transformation.
Previously, it only displayed the affection levels of the female protagonists.
Now, it began to reveal detailed personal skill profiles.
Blacksmithing, brewing, carving, alchemy, cooking, horsemanship...
Twelve life skills, all at a standardized Level 8—master tier across the board!
Such a high level of life skills, if revealed, would undoubtedly leave countless people in utter shock.
It was common knowledge that while cultivators generally held higher social status than ordinary people, mastery of life skills could bridge that gap.
Mastering even a single life skill to the level of a grandmaster ensured a comfortable life, even for those unable to cultivate.
To elevate two or even three life skills to level eight was already considered a rare talent.
But for Shia, who had maxed out all twelve life skills at the grandmaster level, it was the pinnacle of human achievent.
This mastery was Shia's true confidence and his most dazzling brilliance.
However, Shia wasn’t content with this accomplishnt. His gaze shifted to the ends of the progress bars.
These progress bars, which should have been maxed out, now bore the "➕" symbol of a ga-like interface.
This was the terrifying power unlocked by the first layer of the Pri Creation artifact.
Every month, it could forcibly advance any of the wielder's life skills by one level!
For an ordinary person, ten months would suffice to max out a single life skill—from level zero to the cap.
For Shia, whose twelve life skills were already at grandmaster level, it ant that within a year, all his skills could reach their theoretical maximum.
And what did "max level" an?
At the pinnacle, Shia’s horsemanship skill wouldn’t just allow him to master existing mounts—it would give him the potential to ride beings like the Dragon Princess or even true gods.
Who said horsemanship was limited to taming conventional mounts?
If one's imagination held no bounds, who in the world couldn’t be ridden?
And that was just one maxed-out skill. The implications for his other life skills were unimaginable.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves—back to the main point.

In the world of Seven Shields, whether it was combat systems or life skills, all were established by the gods.
Combat skills existed to filter apostles who would fight for the gods.
But few knew the sinister truth: the life skills system was a complete scam devised by the gods.
For mortals, level eight was the limit.
No matter how much effort one poured into honing life skills, breaking beyond level eight was impossible.
The pathway from level eight to the mythical level nine simply didn’t exist—it lacked any logical foundation.
The concept of "max level" was a re illusion, a trick of the gods.
Without a frawork or rules, it was a castle in the sky—nothing to stand upon.
This was why all of Shia’s skills, capped at level eight, displayed their progress bars as full. For mortals, level eight was the ceiling.
The so-called "max level" was nothing more than a cruel joke by the gods.
It amused them to watch mortals chase after sothing that didn’t exist, a futile pursuit of the unattainable.
But this sadistic ga had a fatal flaw—one even the gods hadn’t foreseen.
Shia’s lips curled into a knowing smile.
Most holy relics were created by gods, their power confined within divine boundaries.
But what if sothing existed beyond the gods' comprehension?
The Pri Creation artifact was just that—a relic transcending divine knowledge.
It was the condensed essence of the world's primal structure, a true artifact of origin that existed beyond the constraints of the gods.
The charm ring in Shia's possession was one such Pri Creation artifact.
With it, Shia could break free from the limitations imposed by divine rules, turning conceptual impossibilities into tangible realities.
For instance, while a conventional holy relic, like a river god’s artifact, could control rivers within natural law, a Pri Creation artifact could elevate its wielder to control rivers as a conceptual entity—including the Milky Way itself.
The charm ring, upon unlocking its first layer, could transform the mythical concept of "max level" life skills into reality.
By transcending divine laws, materializing abstract concepts, and weaving logic into existence, the ring allowed its user to manifest fantasy as truth.
This was a realm even the gods couldn’t fathom.
What was once a fraudulent notion—the idea of a "max level" skill—could now beco Shia’s ultimate truth.
This was the essence of the Drear’s power: transforming fantasy into reality, creating one’s own truth.
It was akin to forging a personal world, complete with treasures that belonged solely to its creator.
Fantasy and reality intertwined, earning the Drear their na.

Cultivation traditionally involved comprehending and mastering laws, gathering authority, and ascending to divinity.
The cultivation system was designed as a structured path to godhood, a straightforward yet arduous road.
The obstacles and hardships along the way were known only to those who walked it.
Understanding laws and mastering them required imnse perception.
The more laws mastered and the greater their proficiency, the closer one ca to consolidating divine authority and acquiring a godhood.
At that stage, a cultivator was no longer a god’s follower but an equal, capable of standing alongside the divine.
Eventually, such a cultivator could stake their claim among the gods, becoming one themselves.
But Shia wasn’t interested in this conventional route.
As a Drear, he aid to bypass the process entirely, creating his own laws and ascending to a throne of imagination.
The stronger his laws beca, the greater his power grew.
His first step was to utilize maxed-out life skills to challenge the established reality, crafting the embryonic form of his own truth.
Sounds convoluted?
Simply put, by using max-level life skills, Shia could induce changes in the world, altering people’s habits and perceptions.
The more he influenced others’ beliefs, the faster he could consolidate his authority as a Drear.
