The Tales of Draconic Warlock

I resumed my hunting after I tamed the fox.

Inari and Asya didn't do much. The fox used its [Confuscion] skill to stop the monsters from running away, while the demon petted the fox.

While I was hunting, I learned something. I am now sharing the EXP in three ways.

Not just Inari, now Asya too is eating away my EXP. I didn't pay much attention when I had the Thunder Wolf, but thinking about it, I did earn less EXP than I should. I didn't think about it then, as the EXP gained was already less.

Now it is different. We are in the Inner region, the place where I can decently improve my EXP. I thought I could reach peak Tier-4 or at least be at Level 70 or something by the time I reached the core.

Now though, it would be great if I could reach level 50 by that time.

It looks like I have to reach the core before I want to and have to hunt the monsters there. Only by hunting there would I be able to feed myself and the two lazy ones.

I have no idea what's the rank of the monsters in the core area. It probably be at Tier-5, if I believe the calculations of the academy.

Maybe they are at Tier-5 once but it has been centuries, and they should have improved quite a bit.

Unless there was a restriction placed on monsters that they can't cross Tier-5, I think they should have crossed that rank by now and probably somewhere in the middle of Tier-6.

This was why my plan was to reach peak Tier-4 so that I would have the ability to run away if the monsters there had reached Tier-6.

Now with this slow levelling speed, I have to go to the core area to level up faster. If I continue to stay here in the inner area, I may not reach peak Tier-4 by the end of the secret realm as I wished.

I mean, I disguised myself as peak Tier-0 when in fact I was peak Tier-3. It was to take a Tier-4 promotion mission but what others thought was a Tier-1 promotion mission.

So to everyone, I am still in Tier-1 for a year. In that year, there was no trouble but if I stayed in Tier-1 without taking Tier-2 promotion mission after the secret realm, there would be.

This world is not made of fools. Some may think that I am a waste and have not made use of the realm properly but there are many smart people who would deduct that I am using [Status Disguise] and may not be at Tier-1 at all.

The problem was that I took the mission once. So the conclusion that they arrive at would be that I have a way to skip the promotion missions.

If such a thing appears in the world, then the entire world may go to war in order to gain ownership of the said item.

If ever there was a suspicion that I held such an item in my hands, a war against me would be inevitable.

Though I used Status Disguise, it isn't omnipotent. There are ways to bypass it but no one uses that because it was not easy to do so and costly too.

If I don't take a Tier-2 promotion mission after a year of reaching Tier-1, especially after going through a secret realm, people would be suspicious and if they use the skill or item that can remove the status disguise, then everything would revealed.

They would know that I am a Tier-4, not a Tier-1 warlock.

It's just not that. Everything about me would be laid bare. Almost every secret of mine would be exposed and that is a trouble I am not looking forward to.

It's just not me who would be implicated but the entire Frostwolf family or at least my parents and siblings would be pulled into this mess. I can't let that happen. There is no way that a small family that has no protection from a Tier-7 or above can survive if such a war happens.

As long as I reach Tier-7, people won't covet my treasures. They would be wary of what I would do if by chance I survived. So they would only concentrate on me and may try to get me in one attack and that would be it.

I mean there are times when a Tier-7 or above escaped attacks and later returned powerful enough to stomp away their enemies. So when I reach Tier-7, there won't be many that can dare to touch me.

So for now, no matter what, I need to reach peak tier-4 before the end of the month. Once I leave the secret realm, I can go to the magic association and take the promotion mission.

This way, I won't be suspected by others, and my family elders won't think I am a waste. If they think that I am a waste, they would reduce the resources I would get every year. If I can't get them, I may have to find other sources to get those resources.

Though the Cosmic Market is there, where I can get my hands on some rare resources, it works similarly to barter. I need resources to get other resources.

The only way I could get items from the cosmic market was through using the resources that I got from the family. I don't want to lose that source.

After the secret realm ends, I would have a lot of resources but it's not like I can get infinite resources through this realm. There is only so much that I can get from this.

Until my third year at the academy, where I can leave the academy to gain resources outside, my family is the only resource point for me.

There are only two goals to complete in the next few weeks.

One is to reach peak Tier-4, while the second goal is to gather as many resources as I can before I have to leave the realm.
