Chapter 189: Divine
\'Shape-shifter, huh… Not a bad class. Hmm, I currently have 92,390 Exp points. With this amount, I can Rank up.\' Charles nodded his head.
During the past sixth months, he went to the Fire Plane once a week and hunted a total of twenty-eight Rank-3 Fire Elemental Creatures!
The carcasses were then sold to the auction house and turned into money by Jessie!
\'I wonder how many gold coins did she posses now.\' He shook his head and zeroed his attention towards the last notification.
\'Why the success rate is only 50%?\' He felt troubled a little.
\'Does that mean there is a high chance I might fail?\'
Narrowing his eyes, he quietly dismissed the notification and turned his attention to the golden-covered book.
A few basic information about its usage appeared in his mind.
\'This book… Is this an artifact?\' He was surprised for a moment.
\'Hoho, let me name this book. Book of Unseen…Nah, Book of Secrets? Yes, this name looks good.\' At that moment, the Holem\'s Crown began to speak excitingly.
Ignoring its exciting words, Charles glanced at the new information and soon asked.
\'How should I use it?… Wait… I know.\' He hurriedly shifted his attention to the Twelve Rings formula page and noticed that the whole page had already turned into a blank one!
But Charles knew that this page was not a simple one!
With that thought in his mind, he took the golden quill, dipped the brush into the ink bottle, and started writing his name and surname. Then, he wrote the date of birth, elemental affinities, their levels, and place of birth.
Once he completed the basic process, he recited another short chant in runal language and thought of ranking up the Sub Class.
No, he thought of ranking up with a 50% percent chance of success!
At that moment, the whole page began to move like a water wave and absorbed those black letters!
"Reveal." His cold voice echoed in the dark-red night while his eyes turned abnormally white.
Simultaneously, his consciousness received vague feelings and emotions about his future self.
No, he received some information about the accurate future!
Then, his hand moved on its own and started to write on the mysterious empty page.
A few seconds later, Charles snapped out from the strange state and looked at the mysterious page.
"Sub Class… Rank-Up… Unknown anomaly… Failure… Distorted Shadow… Death…"
\'As I thought… This I can\'t blindly trust the system.\' A heavy sigh leaked out of his mouth.
\'Then, what is the reason for the failure? In the vision, my future self felt that he regretted his decision to rank up earlier… Why? Wait… Is it has something to do with body strength?\'
Charles\'s eyes widened!
\'Insufficient Body strength? I only have Expert Level body strength now… Does that mean I need to increase my body strength to an Extraordinary Level before the advancement?\' He pressed his lips together and soon frowned.
\'This is indeed troublesome. Hmm, I need to buy three types of potions and increase my body to an Extraordinary Level. But in the past six months, there was not even a single potion that appeared in the auction. Even if a potion appears in the future, countless mages would fight for it. A single potion might cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Not only that, but the opposite factions might try their best to raise the bid.\' His complexion turned gloomy all of a sudden.
\'If I had known this-\' He abruptly stopped thinking and shook his head.
All his previous decisions were right in one way or another.
If he hadn\'t increased his wisdom at that time, he might have already died in the hands of Destiny Lady!
\'I don\'t think your whole body attributes need to reach an Extraordinary Level to Rank Up the sub-class.\'
Suddenly, the Holem\'s Crown interrupted his thinking.
\'Oh? Care to explain a little?\' His eyebrows rose upward.
\'Lad, your \'Trickster\' Class series mostly involves deceiving and tricking others. To deceive and trick others, what does one need most? Let\'s take a normal street trickster as an example. What would he mostly rely on to trick others? Reflex and speed-\'
Before the Holem\'s Crown could finish its words, Charles opened his mouth and spoke.
\'It\'s dexterity. My dexterity should be above Extraordinary Level!\' A look of understanding appeared on his face.
\'Then, I think I should focus on getting dexterity-related \'Midday\' potion.\' He nodded inwardly and once again shifted his attention to the Book of Secrets.
As he had expected, the Twelve Rings formula page had already returned to a blank one and appeared good as new!
Nodding his head, he once again took the golden quill, dipped it into the ink bottle, and started writing basic information about him.
Then, he recited a short chant and began to think about where he would see the \'dexterity Potion.\'
Same as before, his eyes turned abnormally white, and his hand began to move independently.
A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and looked at the page.
"Inborn Midday Potion… Crescent Crew Auction House… Jessie failed…"
\'Hmm? Failed to get the potion? Why? She must have more than one hundred thousand gold coins, right? I already told her to get it at all cost… The Royal faction and Noble Faction members must have interfered… Still, they would never spend too much money just to get a \'Midday\' potion… Wait… What if someone else interfered? Like the Mages from the Tower of Iron?\'
He still remembered Jessie\'s words about the mages.
\'It seems I need to personally go and rattle them a bit.\' He nodded inwardly and once again turned his gaze towards the blank page.
\'Next is about the mission to make the second consciousness to \'Love\' Destiny Lady and get the \'Love and \'Care\' emotions.\' He moved his hand and started to write.
One minute later, Charles returned to his normal state and looked at the mysterious page.
"Love will succeed… But a Pain will appear… In the end, Love and Pain will occupy my soul… Beware of the Divine…"
Charles\'s expression turned stiff as he read the last few words!
\'Beware of the Divine… Why does it appear here? Is it also a plot created by the Divine?\' A chill crept up to his spines.
\'Divine… Divine… Why would a Divine want to create a \'Love\' for me? To further increase my progression? Does the Divine want me to Rank-Up sooner? Moreover, what does this \'Pain\' indicate? Will Destiny Lady die in the end? Finally, who is this scary stalking Divine? Rodia? Or other Goddess?\' Questions whirled in his mind.
\'It seems I need to be very careful. Should I abandon the \'Love\' idea? Nah, it will not only delay my advancement, but it will also alert this stalking Divine.\' A grim look appeared on his face.
After some time, he closed the golden-covered book, stored it in his space ring, and stood up from the Lawson Sofa. Then, he took the black cane and went downstairs to meet the kids.
\'Hmm, they should be sleeping now.\' He hesitated for a moment before he chose to go to the second floor and wake them up.
A few minutes later, Charles once again returned to the mansion\'s rooftop, took out the golden-covered book, and started writing Rhea\'s personal information on the mysterious page.
Then, he recited the short incantation and entered a strange mode.
A few seconds later, he opened his amber eyes and soon squinted as he saw the content.
"You will win… The kids will win… Rhea will become a Queen… Beware of the Divine…"
"F*cking Divine again…" He cursed loudly and clenched his fist tighter.
\'I changed my mind.\' He muttered in a grave tone.
\'Oh? Are you going to give up?\' The Holem\'s Crown asked in a carefree attitude.
\'Give up? If there was such an option, I would have given up long ago. Sadly, this is not for me to decide.\' A bitter smile appeared on his face.
He had a vague feeling that even if he Ranks up and becomes a Rank-4 Blaze Sorcerer, he would be toyed by this stalking \'Divine\' in the end!
