Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

He glanced at Blaze again, who seemed to be studying the Runes of the Formation. The two of them would spend some more time together later.

The 12 AP that he'd received from his reward went straight into Defense and Wisdom. Doing this moved the base value to 95 and 96, respectively.

Geth had gained 2 SP and 2 TP from the two new major Levels. This gave him a total of 14 SP and 15 TP to use for upgrades.

'This is the perfect opportunity to see how a rarity upgrade would work for a Skill.' He'd been eyeballing that last Level of Mass Blessing ever since his Common Thick Skin Talent had upgraded to the Uncommon Dense Skin.

The upgrade cost for taking the Level 4 Mass Blessing to Level 5 was a steep 10 SP. He still happily paid the price.

:Mass Blessing will reach Level 5 and undergo an evolution. Do you wish to continue? Yes / No:

"Yes."

:Mass Blessing has reached its stage of Evolution. Skill will be upgraded from Rare to Epic. Please select which path you would like to follow;

Option 1- Universal Blessing

User has realized the importance of increasing the power of their ranks. The reach and longevity will increase tremendously.

Radius = 1 Mile

Buff = 40+ (Int x 40%)

Time = 24+ (Wis x 40%) in Hours

Option 2- Mass Invocation

The quality of User's Blessing has grown extensively. Not only is the power of the Blessing increased, but a second Attribute may also be invoked through the Mana.

Primary Attribute = 80+ (Int x 80%)

Secondary Attribute = 40+ (Int x 40%)

Time= 80+ (Wis x 80%) in Minutes:

Geth almost couldn't believe his choices. 

'Is this really the power of an Epic ranked Skill?' He wondered. It was actually hard to decide.

'Option 2 would definitely be the best for current circumstances,' He thought. 'Option 1, though...'

With the distance of a mile, he could damage all of the Undead in a massive area. On top of that, with his current Wisdom being just under 250, the buff would last five days!

'It would be the ideal spell to support a large group of people.' Geth stroked his beard. 

What would be the chances of needing to support an army-sized group of people any time soon? He swiftly calculated the increase in Attributes the second option would give.

'Let's see... the primary buff would give a whopping 268 Attribute bonus!' Geth had to do a double-take on that. 'Such an unbelievable increase just from this loot.'

He didn't hesitate to calculate the secondary Attribute and the Time, 'So, 134 for the secondary Attribute, giving exactly half. The new Time would be just over 4.5 hours.'

"Albus, we will take Mass Invocation!"

An extreme amount of information flooded his mind as he made his decision. The Mass Blessing Rune began to melt in his mind as a slightly different shaped Rune took its place.

One of the minor greyed Runes surrounding it gained color as the process was completed. Geth was surprised that this new minor Rune matched the Convergence Rune that floated above their heads.

There were still 4 SP and 15 TP to be used. He wanted to make sure that he upgraded the rarity of his abilities as much as possible.

'The Common Skills and Talents are much cheaper to get to Level 5 than the rest. I'll save the 4 SP and upgrade Barrier or Tenacity to Uncommon later.'

Barrier, Curse, and now Tenacity were his only Common Skills. He moved his eyes over to the Talent section.

'After that strange dream, Mana Sense is now Level 4. I have enough TP to take it to Level 5 and have some leftover for my new Talents.'

There wasn't a doubt in his mind that this was the way to go. Geth quickly chose to upgrade Mana Sense.

:Mana Sense will reach Level 5 and undergo an evolution. Do you wish to continue? Yes / No:

"Absolutely."

:Mana Sense has reached its stage of Evolution. Skill will be upgraded from Common to Uncommon. 

Mana Sense typically only upgrades in a linear direction with no Options. Unique Option has been detected due to User's special knowledge.

Please select which path you would like to follow;

Option 1- Mana Perception

Your manipulation of the Mana has reached a new level of control. The cost of using Skills is reduced. 

Additionally, you can vaguely sense the intentions of the Mana. When the Mana is manipulated by an opposing party, you have a general idea of what the effect could be.

Skill Cost Reduction - 10%

Unique Option-  Rune Comprehension

You have begun to walk the path of the Runes. The path of the Runes leads to one being able to alter the will of the Mana.

Runes will become easier to read and understand. The backlash from incorrectly drawing a Rune will be significantly reduced:

Geth glanced over at his friend Blaze again, 'Is this why he has such an easy time manipulating the Mana?'

"Albus, Option 2."

Once his choice was made, his legs became unsteady beneath him. The world around him began to spin.

He sat on the ground and crossed his legs, closing his eyes to try to ignore the dizziness. Geth noticed something strange inside the dome housing his Mana as he closed his eyes.

The walls of the dome began to shimmer. He watched closely as the original flat surface began to shift towards the bottom.

Runes rapidly formed all the way around the bottom section of the dome. His consciousness moved in to have a closer look.

Ten rows of Runes were now etched into the dome's walls on the surface. They wrapped a complete circle around the perimeter.

The setup looked highly similar to the hieroglyphs once carved into the Egyptian monuments. What was more, Geth knew the meaning of every single one.

As the Runes sunk into the wall, their meaning became unmistakable in his mind.. The thousands of Runes were as familiar to him as his own alphabet.
