Chapter 80: Practice Run

‘An entire month and some days to arrive back, for what reasons would I ever do a month-long journey prior to the awakening of the Ether law? Nothing.’

Standing in the air with an energy platform under his feet, Rune was looking at an entire forest that radiated light, not the general white ether mist that wasn’t even light, but a neon white light.

At regular intervals, his armor lost some tens of points, it was a regular event the more he approached the radiation land, like...

Chapter 79: Specialized Mastery

Now free from anything and everything, Rune could at any time stop to do his usual observation of the environment, a hobby he came to appreciate.

His perception range being 2.5 times that of before, he could perceive when something didn’t belong somewhere.

The joy he got out of those stops only grew as, this time, he had the help of the guide to guide him. The more he learned, the easier learning became.

What he was doing was considered a niche occupation among adventurers...

Chapter 78: Goodies And Goodbye

“You also have this personal receiving and transmitting mini ether tower. When you reach a zone border, a region transition, or a zone of interest, use it to transmit the coordinates back with a complete scan, it’ll also automatically make sure your flat compass isn’t unsettled compared to the system of coordinates we are using.”

Rune was currently at the Adventurer’s Society headquarters, on the 4th floor.

There, he encountered the support team that would assist him at ...

Chapter 77: Slots

‘So essentially, I became a genius warrior, and if I follow the trend of having a temporal perception extended by 100%, then I should focus on the offensive, a steady offensive like I’ve always done and liked. Therefore, it comes back to body control masteries.’

With 3 slots to fill, Rune already concluded that he’d stop using the reinforced armor mastery, reinforcement used his precious energy after all.

Then, adding his specialized cohesion infusion mastery back, he ende...

Chapter 76: News From The World

‘A genius at momentum manipulation right?’

Rune could think of some explanations for what Utopia was attempting to do, but clearly, it was working, even if it took more than a hundred exchanges before he succeeded at going further than one exchange.

Those hundred exchanges also allowed him to progress in his new temporality. Every new move he tried had an effect, and more than ever he could capture the behavior of his opponent. The more he fought, the easier “predicting” b...

Chapter 75: Immensity Of The Ether Law

“But… But, I followed all the steps so why do you say that? Is there a major problem with some of the elements I added?” Incredulity infused in his voice, Rune was really confused, and a little panicked.

His plan was getting wrecked.

“I asked for more information about you when I received your form about the composite element you wanted to create, and I think your idea is pure genius. Using your soul specialty to go beyond what the Ether Law would allow is completely possi...

Chapter 74: The Choice

‘Spiritual powers, perception-based spiritual powers, spirit ripple!’

Using the guide and turning to the right page, he could finally start to unveil all his choices in depth.

With him was Nelo, who seemed to live on the balcony. Rune not having anything to train in but only having to read, also decided to take residence here.

‘A secondary specialization of spiritual power?’

He just started to understand what spirit ripple was and already, he was learning new t...

Chapter 73: A Lesson

“Obviously, it all comes down to having the power to do it, and that’s your role! So what do you intend to do if one day you’re attacked by a fellow intelligent being?”

Mr. Finley, as he liked to be called, was doing something called participative pedagogy, investing Rune as a participant instead of as a simple listener.

“Make them unconscious, use a special restricting energy spell, and discuss with them when they wake up!” Rune knew the answer to this one as Mr. Finl...

Chapter 72: Tier 3

‘I don’t really want my purging to finish…’

Like a salted fish, Rune was laying down doing nothing, or more accurately he was thinking about what was soon to come.

‘Tier 3 class and specialty… I want to dieeeee…’

His inner reaction was a little over-exaggerated but only he knew what happened inside his mind.

‘Noooo, I can feel it! Noooooo!’

*Ding* Cohesion: Specialized Cohesion Infusion has been purged

‘Nooooooo!’ 2021-11-10 22:27:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 71: 49-8

The waiting line reduced as quickly as people entered, 20 minutes later Rune had to end his awareness training because his turn was coming.

For the information zone, there were 5 employees in charge of everyone coming, the mission zone also had 5 and the same for the tier 3 zone. When it was his turn he arrived at one of the desks with a female rululu behind it.

“Hello, can you tell me your name and occupation please?” She asked, politely.

Rune could see a special little...

Chapter 70: Transit Point

The speed Rune was traveling at was not “steady” anymore, it was peak tier 2 high speed.

As he was more of a strength rather than a momentum speed-based user, he had to change his course to adjust to the forest environment, he forgoed the shortcut of simply flying.

Arriving at the camp an hour later, he slowed down to not appear as a ballistic missile type of threat.

First, with his eyes, he saw someone standing in the air, and then with his perception sphere, he perceiv...

Chapter 69: Speedsters

‘Oh, a new monster I’ve never seen before?’

Adventuring in a mountainous environment was completely new for Rune, he did not have any experience in a field that was so unbalanced.

The star was up and it was similar to any other star he saw till now, it was just a sun, it was a normal region with a normal star and no moon, accompanied with no restriction on the ether. In sum, a blank and average region.

The monster he never saw before looked like a regular goat, but its...

Chapter 68: New Region

‘The spiral of death, inevitable.’

He knew, he hoped, he wanted this situation to happen.

Rune wasn’t regenerating any armor anymore.

The linear increase of the erosion rate achieved the necessary threshold for him to know that despite sending all the energy he regenerated every second, his armor was being completely eroded.

Not at 1 point per second, it only just started, maybe only 0.01 point per second, but he was at his limit.

‘It’s like I can feel ...

Chapter 67: Purge

In the clearing he created not that long ago, at the metaphysical border to the radioactive zone, it’s now been 7 days since Rune sat there and engaged in the purging process. There were no complicated manipulations to do except not doing anything.

You just had to wait for your own being, your body, your spirit, your soul, everything that defined you, to accept that one or more of the slotted mastery it hosted was not needed anymore. Such a process of dissociating with a core part mad...

Chapter 66: Expansion

Near the tier 3 jungle region transition, a hundred kilometers from its border, the Undecided camp had long reached its maximum capacity.

Everything was managed by the IGS administration, helped by the Adventurer’s Society and the patrollers, the only effective military force available to the government.

The whole zone surrounding the camp was clear of any monsters, not even birds could be seen passing by, and everyone currently resting or discussing was blatantly observing the ...

Chapter 65: Neon White Ether

“No, it’s not something like a veil… Also not something in the air… But I can see nothing in the colors...”

Going full researcher mode, Rune tried things one after the other, he knew a method existed, and if a plant life from a tier 3 zone could do it, so he could do it, that was it.

After trying ideas that appeared after only observing but failed every time he tried, Rune entered the rainbow flower’s rainbow cloud.

And nothing happened.

Not a speck of his ...

Chapter 64: Alone

For 6 additional days, Rune decided to train his awareness by trying to do another type of advanced passive training, it was so slow that he wanted to push it a little more.

The passive training of his momentum had no limit to it, as for his perception passive training, the one he used was sufficient, he just had to have a background process of his spirit pushing them both as much as it could.

So he wanted to bring his awareness to the same level.

The method he was going for...

Chapter 63: Infusion

Sure, Rune could now do a lot of things, and he knew for sure that he wasn’t going to retire, he was going to go on more than an expedition, he was going to embark on a real adventure, only coming back when he reached tier 3 to demand the loan from the IGS.

Be it a cave, an ocean, or a desert, he was going to go everywhere.

Maybe it wasn’t the optimized path, but from the moment he preferred manipulating his awareness to listen to music rather than optimizing his farm, or when...

Chapter 62: Continue?

Using his hands like precise surgical tools, he took the gorilla arm in his embrace, and with his whole body supporting him, he did a classic shoulder-throw and returned the monster on its back.

He never directly countered a tier 3 before, but now he could, he didn’t know what reached tier 3, but it enabled for now, and for probably the next few minutes, a tier 3 reaction speed.

In total silence, he then punched the downed gorilla on its face, invoking its primal instinct to pro...

Chapter 61: Silence

2 hours have passed since Rune engaged the first squad of monsters.

The rhinoceros squad already became completely berserk and didn’t care about hurting their own companions as long as the human that still lived took damage.

With his perception sphere, Rune could see that finally, a second squad was answering the call of blood, birds started to appear 40 minutes ago but not even one dived.

They waited like scavengers, but their strength was real and should never be underes...

Chapter 60: Foretaste

The hazy space of torpor, something Rune didn’t see a lot, but every time he did, it was a good time.

His spirit healed, the combination of time, healing and sleep, made his spirit lethargic, but he could still feel it.

His sleep quality wasn’t disturbed by the numerous noises around, he was used to noise when he got to sleep due to living in a big family, like his young brothers not correctly adjusting their sound, which in the end often made his mother come up the stairs to ...

Chapter 59: Chill Night

*Ding* Spiritual Fundamental: Perception Control reached Tier 2 Level 56

The notification passed through his mind but he didn’t react to it.

Rune was sitting with his legs hanging over the famous straight cliff, just observing the immensity of it, “it” being the nothingness, it was night so not even the usual white ether mist appeared.

Notifications could be ignored, what interested him was reaching tier 3, not leveling his masteries.

After every...

Chapter 58: Maybe Journey To The Cliff

Those intrusions in his perception sphere of course woke up Rune, but finding another group of humans here apart from his 6 friends really was a strange situation, in addition to being unexpected.

Being asocial didn’t mean he couldn’t talk to people, but if he could aVoid it then he would be more than happy about his accomplishment.

It was the moment he needed a hero, anyone would do, even Arik.

‘No, Arik would run away the moment he sees them to aVoid talking to them�...

Chapter 57: Transition

Maybe the red fog was a sign that the wolf was doing something to his health, maybe boosting his health regeneration, he didn’t know.

He just knew that there was always a way, if his damage weren’t enough then he could only increase them.

To increase his damage there was only one way, reinforcement and taking a risk, totally the opposite of his planned and measured fighting style.

Changing to a proactive approach, he waited for the first major opening to appear, when the...

Chapter 56: Sanctity of Health

“The plan is to go back ten or twenty kilometers then walk northeast, we’ll not follow the cliff, in 1 week we should reach maximum tier 2 stats, and then, we’ll be ready to start individual training, let’s go.”

Utopia took to the air and, followed by the whole Undecided, got back using their own path.

Monsters didn’t fill the zone in one day so once they traveled 20 kilometers back, they stopped and oriented themselves northeast, perpendicular to their own northwest p...

Chapter 55: Cliff

“The forest is ending! I think there’s a problem!” From high above, Astryde who acted as an eye scout shouted this news with her heart.

If Utopia wasn’t there to remind them of how much time has passed, then not even the day-night cycle would have sufficed.

“There’s nothing beyond! What the hell!” This time it was disturbing.

Utopia acted by taking to the air and taking a look, and with his perception sphere, Rune could see the incredulous face he was making. 2021-11-10 22:20:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 54: Monster Wave

“The board was really underrepresenting what the Endless was like,” Arik, the Arik, who didn’t talk that much, was complaining about their situation as he sent a bear flying in the air.

“100% the majority never thought about doing what we are freaking doing,” Gar, who received the bear and killed it by using hundreds of energy threads, responded by insulting their straight-line plan.

“I love it!” Rune exclaimed from far away as he blocked a bear charge and started to...

Chapter 53: Geology

“Rune.”

From the deep and comforting darkness of slumber, Rune’s spirit reacted to his own name.

After sleeping for 30 hours, cracks that formed due to the constant pressure he applied upon his perception sphere became only faint lines without effects.

His ether soul had completely dispersed, even if he wanted to he wouldn’t be able to influence it, he was in a deep sleep state and only his name finally convinced his spirit to awaken.

As a first act of waking u...
