Way of Overlord-Chapter 326: Special Attributes

"Time...." He mutters.

He did not finish his thoughts.

He felt like time moves extremely slow and yet fast at the same time when he was in that .....whatever that was.

"A vision" he mutters. He decided to call such a thing a vision. He sees a fragment of his memory. But is that all?

"System, is my memory lock are now all unlocked?" he ask a question in his mind hoping for something to answer but like always the system did not answer at all.

Aeryon could only sigh at this and then he thought of the status window

"Open status window"

"Whoa" Aeryon was shocked.

Some of the things in his status window has changed.

No, a lot has changed.

The most obvious one is the Class tab.

He checks it once again and not matter how he looks, he could not find the Class tab. He tries tapping the status window but there is no collapsible tab.

Instead, the tab that replace the class tabs is the Claim tab

"What about my Class then? Is it erased? Or do I no longer have any class restriction anymore?" he mutters to himself.

Aeryon tap the claim button and the information streams into his mind. The explanation is very brief and Aeryon come out of it in just a matter of second

"Huh" he mutters to himself. He never thought that it is something like this.

The Claim system refers to the Will of the Land. Or the claim he had toward a certain land.

Certainly, this system is more focused on being a ruler or a conqueror.

At least that is how Aeryon felt now.

It is more like it is encouraging him to have more lands.

Or at least a claim toward that land.

It also refers to the fate and destiny of that land. There is magic in everything and there is a will in these lands.

It did not exist in the first place. But people came. They live on those lands. And they die on that land. And attachment and emotion grows between the people and the land.

And magic birthed from these emotions create a will.

A will that integrate with these lands. It is wishes, it is hopes, it is dreams.

And it melded into the land.

Time washes it away, and when it is forgotten the Will would die and would manifest in different ways.

When different people came, and when different people live and die in those lands, new wishes, dreams and hopes will be born

Aeryon could feel that the Will of the Great Steppe was dying. Now, he could feel it. Before, he did not know it even existed.

No, not dying but about to be extinguished.

No one is holding the banner for the Great Steppe.

And so, it is slowly being extinguished.

But Aeryon action....no.... not only his actions but the action of everyone since he appears in this world has ignited back this Will.

Aeryon fought and conquer and his intention is to unite the Steppe. And the Will could feel it.

It is an intangible almost otherworldly sources that is almost omniscient and omnipotent yet at the same time unable to do anything unless the people of the land fight for it.

The stronger the Will, the more it could help those the Will deemed worthy and help these chosen people with luck and fortune.

The Will of the Great Steppe is now weak.

But as more and more people wanted to unify the Steppe, the Will of the Great Steppe is becoming stronger.

It is fragmented and not it is united.

Aeryon also learns that the Great Steppe is not the only places that have such Wills

Why these Will is trapped and why these Will is fading is still a matter of contention and the information skip a lot of things and only streams some kind of basic information about these will

But from what he had just learned, these Will rarely reveals itself.

Sometimes, even those blessed by these Will does not know that they are being blessed by it.

After all, it did not have to make itself known to aid you.

In fortune and luck, it would aid you.

A favorable wind, rain in drought, a clear day when to attack, a mist when an ambush, these kinds of things that is hard to predict and harder to understand would happen to people favored by the Will of their land.

In a way, it is like magic.

But this magic also has a limit, also has its restriction and limitation. There is still many things Aeryon does not understand about the Will of the Great Steppe.

And he decided that maybe when he has time later, he would research the old books about what it is but for now, it is not time for him to dwell what is the Will of the Great Steppe.

The good thing is that he is acknowledged by the Will of the Great Steppe and knowns and aware that the Will of the Great Steppe existed from the moment he took the Spirit of the Great Steppe.

The Spirit of the Great Steppe is different from the Will of the Great Steppe.

To explain it simply it could be said that the Spirit of the Great Steppe is like a small thread, a wisp out of the massive Will of the Great Steppe.

It could be summoned and could be used to enhance the power of a person, a mount or a weapon, blessed always in the land of the Great Steppe.

Fron now on, as long as it is a skill, he could buy it using Destiny Point.

This is also another thing he is curious about. But he wanted to look at his status window first and look what is new. He saw that his attribute had also changed.

And his attribute points and his skill points has soundly now rises up.

Before, Aeryon is quite sure it is already zero since Aeryon has uses it all up.

So, did integrating the system with the Spirt of the Great Steppe give him some kind of bonus or something?

He thought to himself

Was it one of the prompts that appears before?

Then he shakes his head

Most of his active and passive skill is still the same.

But there is something new other than Destiny Point

The Special Attributes.

This is a prompt he remembers.

He taps on the Mark of the Great Steppe and the moment he taps it, a window popped out

[Mark of the Great Steppe]

Those who are acknowledged by the Will of the Great Steppe would be bestowed with the Mark of the Great Steppe. Bearers of this mark are imbued with the spirit and resilience of the Steppe, granting them unique abilities that reflect the harsh yet empowering nature of the land.

.........................................

Effect toward the Bearer of the Mark

Swift Rider – Allowing those with the mark to have speed like the wind when riding their horse and any other mouth. The stronger the bond between the mount and the rider, the faster the mount could run. Also gains the ability to ride any steed with exceptional skill, including wild or untrained animals.

[This is only applicable when in the Great Steppe]

.................................................

Survivor Instinct – When in desperate situation, the Steppe would guide the bearer of the mark to survive. The bearer of the mark can detect and avoid natural hazards more effectively, and find sustenance in the harshest environments.

[This is only applicable when in the Great Steppe]

..............................................

The Great Warrior Spirit – When fighting in open terrains, your combat effectiveness would become even more effective and it is easier to gain enlightenment. Gain a temporary boost to strength, dexterity, speed and endurance

[This is only applicable when in the Great Steppe]

..............................................

Goodwill – In the Steppe, your words are more persuasive and you could easily persuade people to join your cause as long as your cause is true and logical. People will find it hard to hate you unless you do something outrageous.

[This is only applicable when in the Great Steppe]

..................................................

Endurance of the Steppe – raises your resistance toward fatigue and environmental stress. Can march of travel longer distances without rest and endure extreme weather conditions with greater ease

[This is only applicable when in the Great Steppe]

.................................................

Aeryon look at this description and the effect of the Mark and he could not help but feel elated....if that is the right word.

He has made his mind to even prepare if the system no longer works. But it is actually full of new good things for him.

"But all of this is only applicable in the Great Steppe. And the traits in the Mark of the Steppe is not included in the active or passive skill. Instead, it is under the Mark of the Steppe"

There is some limitation of these traits but Aeryon did not think that it is that bad

"But this would basically makes me even stronger in the Great Steppe"

Aeryon himself did not plan in conquering other nations or empire yet until he united the Steppe

Actually, uniting the Steppe is the hard task. Once he manages to do that, everything is easy mode

There were many of his ideas that could then be put forward.

At least, that is his plan.
