Chapter 27: Boons from Advancement
Chapter 27: Boons from Advancement
" I ---- it's you.. ", Adam stuttered
As he was still unable to hold his excitement, a word was then mumbled by him " Greed! "
The source of the voice was no other than Greed!
Adam nearly cried in excitement at the thought of talking with Greed. Since before, he has always wanted to converse with Greed especially when 'they' are taking a rest during hunting...
But alas! Greed just always looked at him with an expressionless face and didn't even respond nor nod his head!
Hence, he just let Greed continues hunting while he was taking a rest...
He also never thought that there would come a day when he could converse with Greed directly!
Adam only expects that once he reached level 100+, Greed's other skill would be unlocked, but contradict his expectation, the more fascinating aftermath transpires! namely: an ability to talk!
After a while, Adam then looked at the face of Greed which is still expressionless, this somewhat makes him confuse!
Therefore, he starts assessing Greed's advancement and looked at the latter's information...

Other skill currently lock: requirements - the user has to be level 200
: Attributes (strength, agility, etc. ) varies from the amount of mana supplied

: Health would be shared with the user as well ]
After seeing the newly gained skill by Greed, Adam nearly puked as the mana consumption was so high!
' 1,000,000?! ', Adam uttered bewilderedly
It's a freaking 1 million mana! Hence, Adam felt his head get dizzy a bit as he thought of expending such mana with just one skill...
But upon giving it some thought, the skill might be potent, and considering that it's a skill created by Greed himself, just how genius could Greed be?
' damn... ', Adam just gulped in anticipation while looking at Greed...
Now, he starts to wonder just who could Greed be in his previous life? And who was The Supreme? And why the heck did The Supreme so eager to kill Greed to the point that he has done it at the expense of his own life?
' G--- greed, just w-who... ', Adam stuttered...
Soon, after pulling himself from this thought, he starts to assess just how much change did occur on Greed...
Hence, he began by asking him a question...
" Greed, just who are you? ", Adam asked while fretting as he was fearful of what Greed's answer would be, ' what if he was a killer before? ' Adam utters silently.
But contradict Adam's expectation, Greed answered him directly...
" I am Greed, Greed is Greed! ", said Greed firmly with still an expressionless face
Adam nearly spat up as he didn't expect Greed's direct answer, his imagination of Greed being the most hated villain who leads a vast genocide shattered hastily.
Soon, he rearranges his question and starts asking Greed, but ended up being disappointed at his finding.
' Talk, that's all he can do... '
Unlike Adam's expectation, Greed only obtained an ability to speak, nothing more, nothing less...
He cants even think of complex things, likewise, he didn't gain even a bit of his memory.
Hence, Adam was dissatisfied...
' maybe when I advance to level 200 or above, Greed would be able to regain his memory? ', Adam thought
Soon, upon knowing Greed's improvement due to his advancement...
Adam then starts to get excited at the notion of his progress, hence, he immediately recalls the message which keeps on popping up earlier...
[ +100 remaining attribute points ]
[ +10 remaining skill points ]
[ Chosen's stat will be doubled ]
[ Due to Chosen's 1st major breakthrough, the Unique skill 'Extreme Luck' (SSS-grade) will be upgraded to level 1 ]
[ You have received +1 skill point from your Title 'SSS-grade Chosen' (SSS-grade) ]
[ You have received +1 skill point from your Occupation 'Absolute Chosen" (SSS-grade) ]
[ You have received +1 skill point from your Title 'The One Who Never Bowed Down' (SSS-grade) ]
...
After seeing the consecutive notifications by the system that appeared before him, Adam was so enthusiastic at the number of boons he received!
First, he received a bonus remaining attribute points and skill points, likewise, his stats doubled as well.
Secondly, he acquired +3 skill points from his occupation and titles!
Hence, Adam was so overjoyed as he can now upgrade his skill directly!
However, what caught Adam's interest the most was the upgrade of his Unique skill 'Extreme Luck'!
He was not shocked nor bewildered at all as it was common knowledge that when someone enters a major breakthrough, their unique skill would be upgraded as well!
Hence, a level 201 chosen had their unique skill at level 2, likewise, a level 300 chosen had it at level 3, and so on...
As Adam was so excited at what benefits the upgrade would bring, he instantly checked its detail...
[ Unique Skill: Extreme Luck (SSS-grade)
Description: Upon activation, extreme luck would descend to the Chosen within 3 seconds
Cooldown time: 4 1/2 days ]
" w--- wait, 4 1/2 days? I-- it can't be right? ", Adam murmurs bewilderedly
As for the reason? It's because he anticipates the possible aftermath of this, hence, to validate his thought, he immediately checked the cooldown time of the skill again...
[ Cooldown time: 4 1/2 days ]
' no!!! ', Adam shouted which attracts the attention of nearby wolves...
Likewise, Adam didn't care as his face was all sullen
' I g-- got to wait for another 4 1/2 days then? ', Adam murmurs
As mentioned, the reason why Adam felt gloomy was that earlier, the cooldown time of his skill was only 3 days! Since he had stayed in Batangas City for 1 day, and another 1 day on the hunting ground...
However, when the skill was upgraded, the cooldown time resets and turns into 4 1/2 days!
Hence, Adam felt downhearted as he had to wait for days again...
' I-- it's fine, it's fine... Just think that it gonna be good for the long run... ', Adam utters to himself.
Soon, after a minute of reassuring himself, he then turns his perspective to the positive aftermath of the upgrade... , namely: the skill points!
Hence, excitedly, Adam checked his remaining skill points...
[ Remaining skill points: 23 ]
' it's upgrade time then?! ', Adam utters excitedly...
