Chapter 800.: The Last Stretch

If audio player doesn't work, press Stop then Play button again






Seth stared at the quest window for a long time, while Puffles was massacring the smelly army that filled the wide cavern. The window didn't really tell him anything new. It mostly confirmed what he expected.

There was a new stage past lv.100 and it had to do with becoming a legend. The problem was that the quest description didn't really reveal anything about how it worked. How was he going to "transcend mortal confines"?

Was there a special meaning behind creating a unique class he wouldn't be able to use? And what did it mean when the system ceased all active assistance? Since the reward was item slots and system upgrades, it wouldn't mean that he lost the system rights and status windows he had, right?

On one hand, Seth was interested in what was about to come, on the other he was very frustrated with the current lack of information. Now Seth understood why Leana and Bement had offered him to explain. Even the system told him to prepare, although it didn't tell him how he was supposed to prepare. At least all spoiler restrictions were lifted, now Leana would be able to answer all his questions.

"Oh, right. It mentioned that." he thought, seeing another window button in his status menu called "Domains". He had been so stuck in his thoughts that he forgot that the quest mentioned that, too. Maybe this could tell him what domains were.

Opening the window, he found it showed a neat list of several different titles, some being able to expand with an explanation, others being grayed out and inaccessible. The three at the top of the list that were not grayed out were:

Legendary Blacksmith

Legendary Goldsmith

Architect of Life

The rest of the list was filled with options that were grayed out like:

Legendary Enchanter

Calamity of Fire

Legendary Craftsman

Forger of Legends

Rhyme Caster

Wordsmith

...

Surrounded by explosions of light, heat, and rotten meat, Seth started clicking through the option to maybe find out why so many were shown but grayed out.



Seth had no idea was Level of Existence and Power of Existence were supposed to be, but the Legendary Goldsmith showed exactly the same options as the Legendary Blacksmith, but based on the skill. The last of the three was a little different.



All three of them had in common that he seemingly achieved the prerequisites to attain them. The logical conclusion was that the ones shown, but grayed out were only partially unlocked. This explained why there were so many. Unfortunately, Seth couldn't see what exactly he was missing to unlock them, he could only guess at best.

For example, the reason why he couldn't choose to be a legendary Enchanter. He bet it was the same as for the other two, to have mastered the skill and created a legendary item with enchantment. The last point was the important one.

Seth had always sued the skill to learn and use enchantments, but the focus of an enchanter as a class was the creation of enchantments. He guessed that one needed to either create a legendary enchantment or create a legendary item only using the enchantment.

This was something he, as a blacksmith, couldn't manage to do. So far most of his legendary items relied on the materials used, which was legit for a blacksmith. But for enchantment, it would need to be legendary, independently from the material used. At least, this was his guess.

In a similar way, he guessed that all the musically based were not unlocked because he was not a master singer, nor was he a master in . On the other hand, he had a bunch of Titles that had to do with music and could explain why these options appeared.

In some way or the other, the grayed-out options were lacking something to be unlocked. But Seth couldn't check what they were actually lacking, since he couldn't expand those options. Was this maybe what the system meant by preparing?

Maybe there was a way to find out what he was lacking and the system informed him, that he still had the chance to find out and maybe unlock a path he liked better? Because, if he was honest, the current titles were too restrictive for his taste.

On that note, some of them had quite generic names, like just the class with legendary glued in front of it. Maybe these were basic options? If anyone with the achievements could unlock these paths, maybe this was what Leana wanted to talk with him? If these paths were not unique, but fixed routes, Chrona might have information about the paths and achievements needed to unlock!

~I'm done here.~ Puffles informed him proudly.

Seth looked up from his Domain Window to face a field of slaughter. The whole cavern was drenched in rotten blood, ashed and burned bodies all mixing into a disgusting sludge. While he was preoccupied with his own business, the Ivicer and shown no mercy.

As if reading his thoughts, Puffles started posing, presenting himself squeaky clean. With all the disgusting stuff littering the cave floor, the Ivicer had not gotten hit by even a drop of blood. Not to mention that there wasn't a single scratch on his carapace.



Looking at Puffles like this, Seth's mouth fell wide open when he used
