Last Ruler Of The Empty Throne-Chapter 110: Another threshold

"Hmm..."

Upon exiting the ’Mind world’ it seemed Amelia immediately noticed his change.

’He changed? I haven’t heard anything like this before?’ Amelia was still observing Jon who now looked a bit more mature than he was before.

And without even glancing at Amelia, he called up the messages he had gotten for a while now and then,

[YOU HAVE OBTAINED...]

[YOU HAVE OBTAINED...]

[YOU HAVE OBTAINED...]

[YOU HAVE OBTAINED...]

[YOU HAVE OBTAINED...]

[YOUR FOUNDATION...]

[YOUR *** LEVEL HAS...]

[YOUR LEVEL HAS...] 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

[YOU HAVE OBTAINED...]

[DIVINE JUGDEMENT....]

[YOU HAVE FORCIBLY...]

[...]

It didn’t stop, it just kept flickering at an alarming rate. He had to quickly stop the messages and grabbed his head and grunted, "Urghh..."

The loads of information were just too much. Imagine receiving information on the millions of zombies he had killed and also from the skills he had acquired and from the first realm ape he fought.

No, forget his recent expansion of his mind, the amount of information was simply too much. And luckily, he had his mind fortified and expanded, if not, he would have probably bled through every parts of his body, or his brain could have been fried.

So, what he did was skip all the messages of absorbing remains from the zombies. He didn’t need to see them in the first place, and that was what he did, he just skipped all the notifications of remains and brought out the remaining.

[YOU HAVE GRAPSED ANOTHER SECRET OF ******]

[YOU HAVE GRAPSED ANOTHER SECRET OF ******]

[YOU HAVE GREATLY RAISED YOUR FOUNDATION]

[YOUR **** HAS GREATLY INCREASED]

"Hmm..." he frowned at the system window. Then he looked at Amelia, who was still curious that something else would happen. It was like he was contemplating something.

Truthfully, he was contemplating it. This was something he had been seeing for a while now and he didn’t understand so he didn’t bother himself, however, someone with him could possibly understand it.

And Amelia didn’t push it, she just kept looking, as if she was waiting for him,

"Hey, Amelia, it says I have grasped another secret of something."

"Oh, you get that?" Amelia put her hand on her chin and exclaimed. Honestly, she was to expect something like that, from the things Jon had been showing recently, this wasn’t really that surprising, right?

"Well, that something you can’t see is most likely the true name of the system."

"I thought it was called the Embroyniel records."

"What if it had a consciousness, would it still be called record."

Jon couldn’t refute her words, it was the most logical answer to the situation.

"Okay, what of raising one’s foundation."

Amelia first gave a dumbfounded look and shook her head, "Why I my surprised. Well, all I can say is, it becomes a foundation to rise to a higher level."

And Jon nodded, he knew she was limited to the things she could say. And the fact she couldn’t just tell him meant it was or would be very important. So he made a mental note about it and asked about the last.

"It also says, my something level has increased."

"Hmm, well that’s to be expected, and unfortunately I can’t tell you."

"..." Jon was almost dumbfounded. He had only gotten a partial answer to one, and obviously he knew they were all important to him, he didn’t need to be told.

Then the next he went to were,

[YOUR LEVEL HAS INCREASED]

[YOUR LEVEL HAS INCREASED]

[YOUR LEVEL HAS INCREASED]

[YOUR LEVEL HAS INCREASED]

[YOUR LEVEL HAS INCREASED]

[YOUR...]

And it continued until,

[YOU HAVE REACHED ’LEVEL 50’ FIRST REALM. YOU NEED CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS TO ADVANCE YOUR REALM]

’I really reached it.’ He grabbed his fist tightly as he thought about it. He already had an idea, however seeing it was a different thing entirely.

In just a little over a month after the world fell, he was at his second threshold. Then he suddenly remembered something he had always wanted to know,

"Amelia..." Then he explained the situation that had happened to the old blacksmith and Laura. Their strange phenomenon of naturally skipping levels, he still wanted to know if it was better to have gone through the unranked through enlightenment rather than absorbing remains.

"Oh, that happened...hmm, how do I explain this." She mused for a moment and began explaining. "There is no particular better way. Before the system of absorbing remains, the people used enlightenment and it really brought them closer to their abilities but when the absorbing of remains came, those who absorbed the remains were generally stronger."

"So, they both have their pros and cons."

"Exactly."

Jon then nodded at her words. He didn’t need to worry about that issue again if that was the case. And even if she had said enlightenment was better, there was nothing he could do about it.

Next, he went to the skills he got,

[YOU HAVE FORCIBLY EVOLVED (FIRST REALM) ’DIVINE SENSE’ —> (SECOND REALM) ’DIVINE MIND EYE’]

[’DIVINE MIND EYE’ (SECOND REALM) LEVEL 1: USING YOUR WILL YOU CAN SEE THINGS AS FAR AS 5KM AROUND YOU. FIRST ACTIVIATION: USING YOUR WILL, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SEEING THE STATS OF A WEAKER OPPONENT]

’Wait, when it means stats, does it mean I can see their window.’ Because Amelia was here, he was stopping himself from screaming out loud. This was really a good skill.

’This ’will’ is really something.’ Looking at the things he was using his will to form, he could only say it was a ’must keep’ skill. And from the way it was looking, it was going to get stronger and not wash away like his blue mist.

Then he looked at his next skill, lo and behold.

[YOU HAVE RAISED YOUR WILL]

However, that was all. It didn’t say anything else. But he stilled let out a light smile, raising his will meant he could use it better than before and with more quantity.

Moving on to the next,

[YOU HAVE FORCIBLY EVOLVED (FIRST REALM) ’DOUBLE JUMP’—> (SECOND REALM) ’EXTRA STEP’]

[’EXTRA STEP’ (SECOND REALM) LEVEL 1: USING 15 POINTS OF MANA, YOU CAN TAKE AN EXTRA JUMP. FIRST ACTIVIATION: USING 30 POINTS OF MANA, YOU CAN USE ANYTHING AS A SURFACE TO STEP ON]

’Oh, the mana usage reduced for this one, and when it means anything...’ he suddenly started thinking of ways he could use it.

Then he moved to the next skill,

[REFLECTION (FIRST REALM) LEVEL 5: WITH 50 POINTS OF MANA, YOU CAN REDIRECT ANY INJURY RECEIVED INTO AN ATTACK TO A CERTAIN EXTENT]

This was a skill his eyes glowed when he was looking a good skill he could learn. And the skill was really a good one. He would evolve it on the spot, however he didn’t have the required evolution requirements at the moment.

[CROCODILE SKIN: (UNRANKED REALM) LEVEL 1: TOUGH ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND MOST PRE-APOCALYPSE WEAPON TO AN EXTENT]

’I should evolve this.’ Looking at the requirements, he had the wealth to evolve it to the second realm, so without wasting time,

[EVOLVE SKILLS WITH APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF CORES]

[SKILL ’CROCODILE SKIN’ (UNRANKED REALM) LEVEL 1—> LEVEL 2:

UNRANKED CORE: 2/2 COMPLETE

STRENGTH: 50 COMPLETE]

"Yes"

And with a burst of the orbs, his shone in a light before it deemed. However, he didn’t stop there, he continued till,

[SKILL ’STEEL SKIN’ (FIRST REALM) LEVEL 5—> ’BRASS SKIN’ (SECOND REALM)

FIRST REALM CORE 30/30 COMPLETE

STRENGTH 400, STAMINA 400 COMPLETE]

After their massive boom from the zombies, he wasted no time deciding.

"Yes"

And he was bathed in another light. After it settled,

[BRASS SKIN (SECOND REALM) LEVEL 1: YOUR SKIN CAN WITHSTAND SOME BLACK REALM WEAPONS. STRENGTH +100, STAMINA + 100]

’Nice’ Together with a tougher skin, he even gained good stats, it was a win-win situation.

Next was the skill Alexa got for him,

[IRON BONES (UNRANKED REALM) LEVEL 1: INCREASE STRENGTH OF BONES BY 2 AND INTERNAL ORGANS BY 1.2 THAN A NORMAL PERSON]

’Oh, so this was what saved me.’ Also checking the evolution requirements, he began glowing continuously until,

[BRONZE BONES (SECOND REALM) LEVEL 1: INCREASE STRENGTH OF BONES BY 20 AND INTERNAL ORGANS BY 12 THAN A NORMAL PERSON. STRENGTH +100, STAMINA +100]

He began controlling his emotions with his skill, he didn’t want to jinx anything, so he held himself. He knew if he talked now, it could be bad for him. So, reigning in his emotions, he continued.

[PAIN TOLERANCE (FIRST REALM) LEVEL 5: TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, YOU CAN ENDURE PAIN.]

It sounded like a good skill, however, Jon wasn’t smiling. He wasn’t liking what he was seeing. Not the skill, but the requirement for its evolution,

[TO EVOLVE SKILL: EXPERIENCE INTENSE PAIN]

"Are you trying to turn me into a masochist?" This was the first sentence he uttered since checking his skills. He then glanced up a little, however as expected, there was no response.

He hated every bit of pain, however the system was trying to tell him that he needed to experience pain to grow stronger. But he didn’t put much thought to it, he just continued.

And this skill was different from the rest. After all, it was the skill that almost killed him,

[DIVINE JUDGEMENT SPEAR (THRID REALM) LEVEL 4: A PUNSIHMENT TO THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT DIFFERNTIATE BETWEEN ALLIES, ENEMIES AND OWNER.

FIRST ACTIVATION: USE 200 POINTS OF MANA TO DIVINE WEB SPEARS TO DECIMATE 5KM

SECOND ACTIVIATION: USE 50 POINTS TO FORM FOUR DIVINE WEB SPEARS. AND 5 POINTS EVERY 10 SECONDS CAN BE USED CONTINUOUSLY WITH TELEKNISES]
