The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Though I have got my hands on a skill called Rank Booster, I couldn't use it properly because I didn't know how. Now I do.

It belongs to the monsters and I was lucky to get my hands on it.

Monsters can just sleep and level up. They don't need to do anything but sleep. Resources would help them to be better than other monsters, so they still hunted though there was no need for it.

How great would it be to improve ranks without doing anything?

This was what I felt that day when I got this skill but there was a problem then. This skill belongs to monsters, not humans. The monster bodies are built in such a way that they can use this skill without using any other means.

This was not the case for us humans. I tried to use the skill but failed miserably. So I thought that a technique was required in order to make it useful.

There were no techniques for this, at least there are none in this era.

I didn't think that there were none in the ancient era. They were more advanced than the present era and they should have had something that imitated the monster's path of growth.

Even in this era, I believe that there should be people who are looking into ways that can improve a human professional. So there was no way that the ancients wouldn't have thought so.

Though the strength gained through such techniques might be mediocre, as the professional need not fight to level and rank up, the quantity would be more than before.

If there is no quality, one can always use quantity and overwhelm enemies.

For quantity, there shouldn't be a problem. There are many professionals that are too afraid to go out and hunt by themselves, especially when they are children of nobles or rich. They would hire guards to take them through levelling.

These would stand in the front of the queue if such a technique was ever introduced into the world.

Even the ones who are courageous would choose to use the technique now and then, rather than going on killing for a millionth time. Unless the person was a battle maniac who was obsessed with killing, not everyone would like to go out only to kill and level up, if they were given a choice.

There should be moderation in my opinion.

When at lower ranks, it doesn't appear problematic as one would be just starting but as this goes on, the ranking work would be tedious. Not everyone would like the monotonous grinding every day for years.

Yes with rank increase, the lifespan would increase too but no one knows when they would die if they keep hunting monsters. Just because there would be a longer lifespan in the future due to the rank increase, doesn't mean that one would live long enough.

It is just the natural lifespan of the person. No one knows when you will die.

It could be in the hands of an enemy, a friend or the monster that you went out to hunt. So what I think is, ranking up is important but enjoying the fine things at the same time is also important. If you forget that, then what is the purpose of extending one's life?

---

Anyway, with this technique, there is no need to blindly grind in the dungeons all the time.

The only issue was that it was not perfect yet. So the gains are very minimal. I lack the knowledge to understand and perfect this technique.

At this time, I can't gain anything with it but I am certain that I can easily improve its quality, next year as long as I can get the knowledge that I need.

What I need to know would probably be in the restricted section and it is not accessible to everyone.

If I could get those books, I could improve it within a few months. If not, I can only use the Trial and Error method. It may take a longer period of time but without sufficient knowledge, it is the only way.

The knowledge that I can get about the elements is very vague in the books available to me. I need to know more about them and how they react to humans.

I don't know if such knowledge exists in the library and if it exists it should be in the restricted section.

Elements are present everywhere in the world. So I used the magic elements in the world as the basis of my technique and I named my technique, Elemental Breath Technique.

This is a foundation stage, which means it works with all elements and that was the main problem.

I don't have an affinity with every element, so I have yet to refine the technique for my elements. I believe that was the problem.

I can't absorb every element that is present in the world. That would only contaminate my core, which doesn't have any affinity with those elements. It may be problematic in the future if I use such a technique.

So I need to change my technique so that I can absorb only the elements that I have an affinity with.

My technique would probably only work for the spellcasters. I don't know whether it can be used by the physical professionals.

Even among spellcasters, unless they have an affinity with an element, it might not be useful.

As I said, the technique at present is absorbing every element and I feel that would not be a good thing for one's future.

Anyway, that's a problem that I can't fully solve at this point. I can think of a solution after I return from the secret realm.

I should do a final check. I have to spend a month in there and I would need a lot of things for survival. Though many could be easily obtained, my target was the Inner and Core areas. I have no idea what to expect in those areas. So it would be best to be prepared, just in case.
