Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 181: New Talent for Secondary Talent

***

The next day.

Lilith City.

Before heading to the city cathedral, Aaron planned to return to the feast street to visit one of the equipment stores that might catch his attention.

The discount event was over, but the crowds on the district street were still there. That was all thanks to Jovanni’s clever business strategy.

Aaron saw mages walking into the stores they were heading to, of course, to look through or perhaps buy the items they needed.

They already had their favorite equipment stores, or in short, their subscriptions. There were various reasons a mage would subscribe to the store.

For example, their staff service was good, the goods were of high quality, the shop owner was their friend, or maybe it was an obsession with liking the shop owner or staff. It happened, and Aaron didn’t deny it.

Nevertheless, the undeniable fact of Aaron’s magic vision was the average mage tier of the people on the district street.

Most of them were in the peak of the second tier or early of the third tier, somewhere between Advanced Mage or Young Sage.

A few were at Intermediate Mage, most were members of the three major groups. For Senior Mage, they could only be counted on fingers —three leaders of the three major groups.

Even so, Aaron found those with low mage tiers to be in the second tier as student mage or intermediate mage. Likely, they were children or teenagers born and raised in Lilith City.

They were undoubtedly born in this city but didn’t have the right to join the raid. That was due to their floor access privileges still being 0.

If they were willing to become mages, they had to go to the Stone of Light and enroll in the Dark Pillar Tower Raid Campaign.

However, not many were willing to do so. The luxury and comfort of the city had blinded their minds and hearts to the liberation of the Dark Pillar Tower.

From afar, Aaron watched as the middle-aged woman’s shop began to be visited by other customers. He looked further away from the shop; a building collapsed and crumbled in black ash. It was Oliver’s shop.

"You! Aren’t you the guy from yesterday?" asked the shopkeeper’s daughter, seeing Aaron passing by her shop.

Aaron stopped walking and turned his head. The 15-year-old girl smiled as she moved closer, her two delicate hands grasping Aaron’s arms. With a spoiled attitude, she invited the man into the store and met her mother.

The girl told him that her mother didn’t get a chance to thank Aaron for his help yesterday. The man left before her mother realized it.

Since Aaron was caught on the way to the feast, the girl did not hesitate to bring Aaron before her mother.

The middle-aged woman serving customers’ transactions caught a glimpse of Aaron’s face. She smiled widely while waving a sweet gesture. She would talk to Aaron when the queue of customers was over.

From Aaron’s eyes, he saw that the tools in the shop were pretty well-stocked, from gem extraction tools, talent rank slip tools, and payment boxes to crafting tools.

It looked like she could do a talent gacha in this place to replace his second talent.

While waiting, Aaron took a look at the items for sale. For HP Potion, EXP Elixir, MP Crystal, and TP Elixir, the shop owner kept them on a glass table close to the cashier’s desk. The objects displayed on the wall were armor, magic weapons, tools, and accessories.

All of them are various and have different grades. The lowest was C, and the highest was S. Aaron touched the magic tools one by one; the average grade was B or A.

’I don’t need magic tools; no magic tool can match my power,’ Aaron said, continuing to look at the tools without any interest in buying them.

While Aaron was looking at them, his attention was focused on a medallion with a seven-pointed star with a small ancient script engraved around it.

What intrigued Aaron was the circle of 20 small spheres of glass that surrounded this object. The small glass spheres did not light up and did not show anything.

[Item Details:]

[Name: Seven-Way Seal Medal]

[Grade: A]

[Description: Useful for sealing the power of living beings inside, limited to 20 people. Only useful by using a sealing talent]

’It’s useless if you don’t have that talent,’ Aaron explained.

Done with her buyers, the middle-aged woman stepped closer to Aaron. The man saw the number of people waiting in line was fading, a sign that now was her free time.

"Thank you for yesterday. If you hadn’t gotten rid of those things, I probably would be broke," explained the middle-aged woman, holding Arthur’s hand in gratitude and joy.

Aaron didn’t take issue with that. He explained that his arrival at the street feast was solely to help him get talent. The middle-aged woman said with certainty that she could do that.

"Let me help you. Think of it as a token of my gratitude," the woman explained. Aaron said yes instead of refusing. Explore more stories at novelbuddy

She introduced herself as Viera; her two children were Silva and Reno. Silva was the eldest, while Reno was the youngest.

The 36-year-old middle-aged woman explained that she lived with them in a small house behind their shop. Their husband, Jacob, had gone on a raid and had not been heard of for a year.

Even so, Viera still believed Jacob was alive. Perhaps he was on another floor and was trying to return to Lilith City.

Viera showed the two types of talent slips of rank A and S that she had. Aaron shook his head. He didn’t want to have talents from both ranks.

Aaron took the item from storage and placed the SS rank talent slip on the table. Viera gasped in shock, her eyes bulging in surprise, and her mouth gaped, covered by her reflex hand.

"SS rank talent?" asked Viera.

"Can you handle it?" asked Aaron.

Viera held the slip carefully, then raised her eye focus and looked at Aaron carefully, "I can."

Aaron smiled faintly. He did the first thing to do, put down his soul consciousness and cast purple magic onto the SS rank talent slip.

It was enough to make the rectangle-shaped ceramic-like object glow bright purple light, responding to Aaron’s element.

"The thing I need to confirm first. Is your second talent available?" asked Viera.

"Actually, I want to replace my second talent with a new talent of SS rank. Do I need to delete it, or can the gacha system replace it automatically?" asked Aaron, confused.

Viera nodded with a smile. She received many requests like that, replacing their talent with new talent, either their main or secondary talent. However, the way gacha worked was to acquire talent and replace the old talent if the talent slot was filled.

For Aaron’s question, Viera explained it in detail just as she had explained it to the other customers.

"Alright. That’s a relief," Aaron replied.

Viera put the purple glowing slip into a cylindrical device with laser light inside to break up the magic energy inside the slip and bring up a spinning wheel displaying 15 talents ready to be selected at random.

[Rank Talent Slip Detected]

[Grade: SS]

[Total number of talents: 15]

[Host: Aaron Lewis]

[Level: 365]

[Slot for talent:]

[Main Talent: Full]

[Secondary Talent: Full]

[Additional Talent: Full]

[Slots for new talents are full!]

[Will the host replace the talent?]

[Yes] [No]

The panel displays the number of talent slots that are full. Yet, there was an option to replace the talent as described by Viera. Of course, Aaron immediately pressed the talent change confirmation panel.

[Confirm talent change accepted]

[Select Talent to be replaced:]

[1. Dark Dimensional Reality]

[2. Gravity Manipulation] [CHECK]

[3. Clone Manipulation]

[Confirm the replacement of the talent "Gravity Manipulation" with the new talent?]

[Yes] [No]

Aaron pressed the final confirmation. The system read the command and immediately started the gacha on the spinning wheel.

Viera explained that Aaron didn’t have to pay anything as a token of her gratitude to Aaron.

The LUK attribute worked at crucial times such as now. The more points the attribute has, the higher and better the talent gets.

Although all talents were at SS rank, they had their own uniqueness and advantages.

Slowly, the pace of the spinning wheel began to slow down with arrows pointing to several talents. In the end, the pointer on the spinning wheel stops at a talent, which surprised Aaron a lot.

[Talent Rank Selection successful]

[Talent: High Sealing]

[Rank: SS]

[Stage: Early]

[Description: The power of a talent that can seal anything, such as living beings, magic powers, curses, or even specific objects. Only useful if using a seal containment item].

[Add talent rank to Secondary Talent]

[Yes] [No]

Viera squinted her eyes at the spinning wheel pointer that showed the High Sealing talent, "High Sealing? Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be very useful in a—"

"I like it. This is the talent I need!"
