Odin woke up and exhaled a deep breath
‘Why do I have to forget things every time? It's so annoying.’ Odin grumbled as he stood up groggily to drink some water.
He figured that his brain could not handle the amount of information, but was still quite uncomfortable.
‘That aside, lemme which class I created,’ thought Odin with sparkling eyes.
He could feel that his body had changed too, he could no longer gather energy and create a blue halo around his body and his physical strength had also decreased by a little.
‘Seems like my bloodline has been completely suppressed’
He didn't have any other outward changes on his body. ‘Well, it's for the best as I have already changed drastically in the past month. If I had any more changes I myself would be freaked out not to mention the others' Thought Odin after washing his face and plopped down on the bed again.
“Give me information about my class,” Odin asked with excitement. After all, he would be progressing on this path for the rest of his life so he was naturally very curious about it.
A familiar runic text started floating in front of him and he read the messages Ominira gave him while he was unconscious for almost 6 hours.
[You have taken the first step on your path]
[Your class “The Conjurer” has been successfully created]
[Your Bloodline has been completely suppressed]
[Note: It is recommended to complete the changes in bloodline as soon as possible]
[Remaining time limit: 30 days]
[Current level 0/100]
[Note: stats are omitted due to them being unrelated to your class]
[Congratulations for creating a unique class!]
Odin had a ton of questions and he wanted nothing more than to read all he could about his class, but he contained his curiosity as he saw the next message.
[You have received a reward for leaving your mark in Svemir]
[You have obtained Gold treasure box x1]
[Would you like to open the box now?]
“Of course” replied Odin without hesitation. ‘Nothing’s better than getting gifts out of the blue now is it?’
As he gave the command, he saw a golden glow flash in front of him and when he reached out towards it instinctively, he got his reward as expected.
[You have obtained Scroll of preservation x1]
Odin looked at the brownish roll of paper that looked very old with interest and searched about its usage.
[Scroll of preservation: Upon usage, preserver user’s current state for one minute. All negative effects are nullified upon activation.]
That’s ridiculous! It seemed simple but it was very useful. It gave him a life preservation means and if he had some skills that had short time effects with long cooldowns, he could use them for a full minute.
Odin was very satisfied and he put the scroll into ominira.
‘Now I’m certain about my victory against that thing as long as I get some offensive skills’ thought Odin as he read further messages.
[New missions are now available]
[Mission: World Resonance]
[Mission: Precursor Corvidae]
[Mission: World Essence]
[Mission: Gather energy for Synchronization of phase 2]
[Current synchronization rate 0%]
Whoa! That’s a lot of information, ‘looks like I won't have to worry about my future plans with all these missions.’
But before checking out further details of current missions, Odin needed to clarify one more thing
“Which method of Origin Manipulation am I currently using? Energy, Element, or Laws?” he asked with rapt attention
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“Advancement method for The Conjurer class is by comprehension of laws”
“I thought so, any particular reason why did I chose the law? Why not energy or element?”
“Advancement rate of both of those methods are below 50%, due to low density in elemental particles and availability of resources required for energy cultivation.”
'tch tch why did I even ask,' thought Odin as he laid down on his bed.
Anyway I should check out the details of the missions now
[Mission: World Resonance]
[You are a being born in this realm, and you hold the essence of the life given by this realm. Resonate with your surroundings to walk further on your path]
“Realm? If the place I am on is the realm, then why is it called world resonance?”
“This place is rather special. It was once a Realm but now it is more similar to world”
“What is the difference between the two?” asked Odin with a frown. He couldn’t make heads and tails of this situation
“Unable to answer in Phase 1”
‘I am not even disappointed anymore,’ thought Odin to himself.
“Then can you tell me how can I resonate with the world?” he asked with a sigh
“I can act as a guide but you have to figure out the rest on your own. It is recommended that you read the descriptions of the next two missions before starting.”
‘Am I overreacting or has Ominira gotten more personality now? Now it looks like I am actually talking to a person instead of just a question and answer interface.’
Leaving aside the trivial thoughts, Odin decided to check out the mission's details first.
[Mission: World essence]
[Understand what ‘essence’ is and sense it with your perception]
[Recommended Level: 10]
[Mission: Precursor Corvidae]
[Learn more about ‘Corvidae’ and comprehend the path of their evolution.]
(Hint: Read all theories to know all about this species.)
[For ease in advancement, your progress is counted based on levels. Once you have sufficient understanding regarding the laws, you will level up.]
[Current: Level 1/100]
[Mission deadline: Before reaching Level 30]
[You can create a skill once every 10 levels]
What!! Odin was really confused this time.
He sort of understood what level is, and this Corvidae seems to be an animal, but he didn't understand how he would create so many skills.
“Wasn’t I supposed to have only three aspects? Why so many skills then?”
“This is because of class. If you have two similar skills with minor changes in your way of applying energy, you can use them to cover different aspects.”
“However this only applies to specific classes, the conjurer being one of them.” Added Ominira
‘I like freedom but this is annoying ‘
“Can you give me an example”
Runic text appeared in his vision and after reading that he realized how this worked.
If a person had a burning skill, for example, he can burn anything by his touch. Now if that person were to use a bow and arrow and shoot fire Arrows with it, it is similar to the flame arrow skill of the Archer.
He covered both close range and long range aspects with this, albeit in a lackluster manner.
Naturally, archers have a more superior version of the ability. They have better strength, control, speed and even explosive capabilities than the arrow shot by the person with burning ability.
But the person with burning skill has his methods as well.
When it comes to the utilization of energy, he can do something that others cannot. For example, he can shoot burning arrows and upon contact, as long as it is within a perception range he can burn the area where the Arrow touches without him directly touching it.
Of course, once the person with burning ability grows stronger he will no longer need arrows as a medium but for the initial stages it is very helpful.
He also realized one more thing. The requirement of having very few skills is only for Law users, and they are called law wielders.
Element users are called magicians or magi with classes like warlock, druid, summoner and they can have as many skills, or rather spells, as they only have to memorize and understand various spell models.
For energy users, they are called cultivators and they are the most unique ones. It is very hard to classify all of them into one class but they share a similarity, although he did not know what it is.
The most important thing is neither of these different methods is superior or inferior compared to one another, meaning everyone will have pretty much the same amount of power.
This means that the skills of law wielders have power much stronger than others, despite them being very singular.
Although he was not clear about a lot of things, he didn’t think much of it. It was his first day of getting the class that he’ll work with for decades and he would have more than enough time to learn things slowly.
Odin finally looked at the information he was most excited about
[Class: The Conjurer]
[Conjurers can manipulate reality and are masters of illusion]
He choose to keep good things for last but…That's an awfully short description!
‘Well, whatever, I guess I'll have to figure out the rest on my own.’ Though Odin after giving up in resignation. He recollected everything he knew so far to make a mental note.
So to Sum it all up, I have to understand more about the law of illusion to level up my class
In order to create my ability, I will have to comprehend knowledge about Corvidae, or a specific subject every few levels.
And then in order to use the abilities, I will need world essence.
fuu... No wonder the power exerted by the law wielders ability is more than any others.
With this much preparation just to use a single skill, it is at least 100 times harder compared to a mage using his spell.
If I were to compare myself with the Noah Empire's power system which is divided into nine ranks, I should be considered on the level of a mage or knight/warrior when I am at level 30.
Although I had a hard time fighting against orcs, Now I am pretty sure that no one can be my match at the same level and Just in terms of fighting power, according to Noah Empire's classification, I should be able to fight those who are 2 ranks above me with ease.
“How can I get more information about The law of illusion?”
“You can now manifest Ominira into reality” replied Ominira
After that, a new message floated in front of him.
[Would you like to proceed?]
‘This is unexpected.’
He thought that he would never see the tome physically as it had already merged with himself.
Anyway, it should be much easier to read than to meditate every time.
After he gave his acknowledgment, purple light flashed out from his right eye.
After a while, the tome appeared in his hands,
It had the same cover as he saw when he chose it from the wanderer, an eye surrounded by vines
He flipped the cover and just like any other book, he can read it normally. However, the words were written in runic language and he could read the information about the law.
‘It's much simpler than I expected,’ thought Odin and he started reading.
Unbeknown to poor Odin, his two good friends had ruined his reputation in the underground mine in the meanwhile.
