Chapter 72: Special Event Notice, Novice Tier Stages



Chapter 72: Special Event Notice, Novice Tier Stages

As the night had fallen, most individuals had already called an end to today's adventures as the bustle of the town and villages now carried with it a vibrancy like no other. Nero, who had only moments ago purchased his potions was about to head out training, but right as he was about to pass by a crowded area, he couldn't help but grow a bit distracted by their conversations.

"Ho... it's that time again; I wonder how many amongst our generation will rise?" One person said with a curious tone.

"Hehe... I bet I can make it to the highest ranks; I'm so glad I only awakened last week; I am more than qualified to participate in this year's event," A person eagerly.

"Tsk, what do you know? Do you even realize just how many Novices had suppressed themselves to Level 10? Most haven't bothered to gain a tiny bit of exp as they only refined their skills and mastery for this event," The other individual said.

"Blah! Why should I be worried? It's not like everyone can be a genius like that Child of Blaze or those past top tier fellows, I bet most others are stills stuck at Stage Five of battle power, not to mention those from the weaker races, in this scenario, recent newbies like myself still have a fighting chance so long as we get to Level 10..." The person said.

The other individuals said nothing as he snorted, knowing that part of what he said was the truth, talent is talent after all, and those humans who can break past certain limits of comprehension are considered as superior talents. However, with regards to the aliens and different lifeforms that's an entirely different story.

'Oh, what are they talking about?' Nero pondered with curious eyes, he soon made his way over and noticed that the crowd gathered before a large notice board.

___

[5 - All participants must have at race token]

___

When Nero saw those details, his eyes grew wide as he spoke inwardly, 'Huh? A Special Event? Just look at these rules, is this what Elly was talking about before?'

Adult Nero made a faint smile as answered, "Indeed it is, the Gate of Legends, it's a Special Event that takes place once every year in the Novice Zone. Curiously you had awakened just in time for it, but enough about that, this event is something that you will need to participate in if you want a better chance of passing your Inheritance Quest."

'Oh, and why is that?' Nero asked back in his mind as he continued to observe the notice board.

Adult Nero replied, "It's simple, you have High-Class Skills, but at the end of the High Class will only take you so far, while you could still progress and roam across the remainder of the Novice Zone's boundaries with its boost in power. You will ultimately fall behind true talents that have mastered a Top-Class Combat Skill. Every Top-Class Combat Skill, along with an accompanying Inheritance Core Art of a genuinely high level, gives its wielder enough power to jump a minor realm depended on their grade."

When Nero heard those words, he was puzzled as had questioned, 'What's a minor realm?'

Adult Nero thought for a bit as he said, "You've read cultivation novels in your free time, you can think of it as Early Stage, Middle Stage, High Stage, and the Peak Stage of the Novice Rank for all Digitizers. In essence, Level 1 - 30 is the ranks of an Early Novice Digitizer, while Level 31 - 60 and 61 - 90 are the ranks of Middle and High Stage. From 91 - 99 is considered a peak strength of Novice Levels, and they are divided in the same manner for the following Tiers."

Nero was shocked hearing this; he could not even control his previous indifferent expression causing a few people to look at him. However, as they saw that he was facing the notice board, they naturally assumed that he was surprised the event.

'Are you telling me that these skills with the combination of whatever art we acquire from our Inheritance Quests can allow us to fight dozens of levels beyond our standard? That's so frigging OVERPOWERED!' Nero said to himself in alarm.

Adult Nero chuckled at this as he replied with a calm tone, "No, that's only normal, you must understand that we aren't the only beings in this universe especially after coming to this world and seeing those various alien races."

When Nero heard this, he nodded his head even more, especially as he recalled the variety of strange lifeforms.

Adult Nero continued to explain, "Good, then I can get on with the point, some of these races comprising of Class 2 and even Class 3 races are Neutral Races meaning that they aren't willing to interfere with anyone else. While a small amount mostly comprising of weaker Class 1 and lesser races are our allies. Naturally, amongst these myriads of races in the endlessly expanding universe, we are similarly enemies to a lot of them, majority of then falling to the ranks of peak Class 3 races as the most dangerous enemies of them all are a few peak Class 4 races."

As Adult Nero said this, his eyes grew a bit distant as his words continued, "The only reason we are still fine is because of the vast expanding universe which has always pushed their kind further away from our domain in the cosmos. However, enough about that, my point here is that these races are all born powerful. They don't need to bolster their foundations by practicing High-Class Techniques as the average amongst them inherently have Stage Four Levels of fitness, while the strongest amongst then are born comparable to Stage Nine Levels. These races upon claiming Top Class and Other skills are easily able to show that kind of minor realm leaping battle power with the strongest prodigies amongst them being able even to leap multiple minor realms."

Nero was even more stunned at this, he asked, 'Crap, then you're saying that most of these freaks are our enemies rather than allies. Hmm... wait a second, you mentioned this right after I've spoken about this event, don't tell me that they're also planning on entering it? If they do take part, won't that mean trouble for us humans and any other weaker races?'

Adult Nero replied, "Correct, but also not correct, firstly, even if hostile races partake, we don't need to worry about major losses as this event occurs in the Novice Zone. And secondly, our most troublesome and dangerous enemies won't be joining as their prodigies already have access to such methods with their eyes set to higher places. You won't have to worry about facing them until in much higher Zones such as the Emperor Zone."

As Nero heard this; he heaved a sigh of relief. He thought for a bit and inwardly asked, 'I'm curious, who are our enemies?'

Adult Nero looked at him and spoke, "You can learn about them at another time, let's get back on topic, in regards to the weaker races that are more comparable to our kind, they will be taking part in this Special Event. The reason for this is because they are always trying to find an advantage while simultaneously pressing down our race. You see, the more they suppress our talents the easier it will be for then to dominate the higher zones, taking them one step closer to finding the treasure of treasures."

When Nero heard this, his heart soon felt cold; he now knew that events in this world were far more than they seemed on the surface. He gripped his fist and spoke, 'I I don't want to fall behind anyone, nor do I want to lose against some darn aliens letting them have their way. I want to claim that treasure in the end and help mother'

Adult Nero made a faint smile when he heard those words, his eyes showed a slightly sad look, but it soon faded as he spoke, "If you don't want to fall back and be suppressed by them, then you will have to fight for what you want and grow stronger. However, for you to even join these events and gain this privilege, you will ultimately need to make a choice and join a Digitizer Society to earn a human race token."

Nero narrowed his eyes at those words; he thought for a bit recalling the Hatman Society and the Blood Steel Society of the Digitizers Union.

'So, it turns out I really need to join one in the end' Nero thought with a slightly disappointed look on his face as he sighed.

"Indeed, you do," Adult Nero said coldly.

Nero ignored him as he stared at the board once more before turning and leaving; his eyes showed a firm look as he had already made up his mind on who he will be joining.

Adult Nero seemed to have read his thoughts; he smirked as he thought to himself, "Heh, of course, in the end, you'd still choose that rowdy bunch... it only makes this more entertaining...'

As Adult Nero thought to himself, Nero had already left the notice board area as he headed towards the outskirts of the town to finish his night training.
