=========
Yes, my luck changed. Specifically, it reduced. To be exact, it beca negative!
I've never heard of luck changing during level up, let alone decreasing. As for going in the negative?
Never, I say. Not even once did I read anything about a stat going in negative.
"Is the system broken?"
Or maybe the earlier Luck stat was the previous Nathan's, and this one is mine?
Was my shitty luck the reason I transmigrated inside this novel among the hundreds of novels I've read?
"Haah…"
Let's just think that the system is broken. Negative stat doesn't make sense at all.
As for my other stats. They had increased 3 points each because of the hellish torture I went through during the talent upgrade.
My Aura stat also changed to Ether. Proof that I was now an Ether user.
Ether was the most special type of energy. It was the only variety that contained all the aspects of Aether.
This ant that I could use Ether like mana, aura, and every other kind of energy. This opened an endless amount of possibilities for .
I was no longer restricted to using only one way of fighting. I could use magic spells as well as enhance my body at the sa ti.
With Ether, I could build a solid foundation.
But this wasn't the only benefit. The upgrade I went through raised my talent to the highest.
Talent referred to the number of stat points one gets after leveling up.
The majority of the awakeners get 1 stat point, 2 stat points ant that you were above average and this was a minimum requirent for Ward.
3 stat points ant that you were talented. 4 stat points ant you were a prodigy.
5 stat points ant that you were a monster. Yes, not a genius or genius among geniuses. 5 stat points were regarded as myths. Even throughout history, only a handful of people were said to get 5 stat points, and all of them were legendary figures.
And now I also would get 5 stat points whenever I level up.
Did this an that I was bound to reach the pinnacle of humanity even if I did nothing?
No, not exactly. Talent and potential were two things that determined the level of strength one could reach at their peak.
Most of the ti, they are proportional. A person with high talent will have high potential and a person with low talent will have low potential and vice versa.
But my new talent wasn't natural. This ant that I still had the sa potential as before. The highest rank I would be able to achieve in my lifeti will be Enma-rank.
The ranks in this world were: ta, Iota, Enma, Tesla, Hatamoto, Gamma, and Sandra, in increasing order.
"Was the author high when he nad the ranks?"
I stood up and stretched.
As the rank increases, the difference between subsequent ranks in power grows. A ta-rank might be able to win against an Iota-rank, but a Hatamoto-rank won't be able to win against a Gamma-rank.
Sitting at the desk, I opened my diary.
This was sothing I made during the previous days to write and record everything I knew about the novel. From important characters to organizations, their affiliations, location of powerful skills and other perks, and many more.
As a scam-kheum sche-kneum ....planner, I had confidence in my mory. But being prepared for every possibility was the most basic of basic.
"Umbra's headquarters have the thod to increase the potential…. And this is the easiest one."
Umbra was the head organization of the underworld. Every shady deal behind the shadows was done by them, be it trafficking, kidnapping, illegal dungeons, construction of illegal portals, or anything else.
The lawful Aegis, the neutral Umbra, and the evil Illis. These were the trinity organizations.
Aegis was the awakener association, and Illis was its counterpart as the villain organization.
"Even leaving alive from there would be a miracle."
I couldn't help but sigh.
In this world, strength was a basic thing to survive, even more so considering the perilous future. And I needed strength to gain strength.
"First things first."
My hands itched as I thought of practicing my Art.
"Let's get take a bath first."
Suppressing my excitent, I walked toward the bathroom.
***
"That was refreshing."
I swept my wet bangs aside and looked at myself in the mirror.
A 5'7'' tall boy with blood-red eyes was staring at . He had faintly visible abs and toned muscles with minimum to no fat.
The face in the mirror was looking at with a weird gaze.
"I keep on finding new gains thanks to the talent upgrade, but that pain…"
My body shuddered.
"I should think of productive things.... like at least I'm handso, even if only from my previous world's standard."
Almost everybody I had seen till now was above average in terms of looks, as compared to my previous world.
After admiring myself for a few more minutes, I rubbed my hands together and grinned.
"Let's start training."
I knew I was getting excited, like a little child. But being able to use magic was too damn cool! I repeat, too damn cool! Important things need to be said twice!
VUPP-!
I sat on the bed and brought Ryan's greatsword out.
Placing it on the bed, I put my hand on it.
"Scan"
Imdiately, I could see a dot shining in my mind. Shortly, multiple dots began appearing.
When the dots finally stopped increasing, all of them shot rays of light toward each other.
The rays bent, twisted, and joined with each other and created a fra of a sword.
The fra looked like a constellation in the night sky, with the dots as the stars.
My brows furrowed as I concentrated and circulated ether according to the art's instruction.
I raised my other hand.
"Construct"
PHZZZT-!
A low static sound resounded as another greatsword began appearing above my hand.
Aiming the sword at the wall, I fired it.
SWISH-!
It flew swiftly and hit the wall.
As the sword penetrated the wall, it broke and vanished, leaving a shallow scar.
The entire process took almost 10 seconds.
The ti was too long, and the weapon created was weak. This was nowhere near useful for fights.
But I wasn't discouraged in the least. Heck, I was grinning like an idiot!
"Th-this ...is the best!"
This was the result of only a week of training. As long as I continued practicing, the number of weapons will increase and the process will take less ti.
And I could feel it. Every ti I scanned the sword, the projection of the constellation was being imprinted in my mind.
"Let's go!!!"
I couldn't wait for the projection to beco a real constellation and trained all night.
