YM778.TV Chapter 105 105: Becoming A Wizard!
"I accept the transfer," Val said.
In response to their command, the number on Val\'s card jumped from 80 to 140, and Eliana\'s card went from 100 down to 40.
Seeing the numbers change, Eliana finally felt like she had done something for Val. She had been able to contribute, even if it was just a small amount. A sense of relief washed over her as she realized that she wasn\'t just a burden on Val.
Eliana chose the lower bedroom under Val\'s insistence. His reason was that it was closer to the exit and the talisman, which would provide her with an extra layer of safety. He also suggested that she hang a talisman in her room for added security.
Eliana couldn\'t help but feel touched by his concern. "Thank you, Val," she said with a small smile, touched by his consideration for her safety.
Leaving Eliana to settle in, Val climbed the stairs that creaked beneath his feet and reached his room. Once inside, he sat down on his bed and registered the wizard class as his secondary class.
A system notification immediately appeared:
[The host has selected Wizard as the Host\'s secondary class. As the Blessing of Fortune is in effect, all gained traits and skills will be of Epic quality.]
[Skill obtained: Soul Archive]
[Trait gained: Heavenly Eye ]
\'Soul Archive\', the skill he gained from becoming a wizard, was definitely not an ordinary one.
It acted like a failsafe, a backup of all his memories, abilities, and innate talents.
Imagine it as a library of his life and powers, stored within the very core of his being - his soul.
Should there be any threat of memory loss or power extraction, he could access this archive and restore everything, making it a potent countermeasure against any form of mental manipulation or power theft. The cost of activating it was 300 unita of soul power.
As for his new trait, it was a divine tool that offered the power of true sight
It wasn\'t just about seeing through physical matter, illusions, or spiritual barriers.
With enough soul power channeled into his eyes, he could see through the fabric of reality that separated reality from the Other Side. Basically, he could even glimpse into another dimension while still being in this reality!
It was also like a beacon in the dark, capable of shedding light on truths hidden from ordinary vision.
Val found his new skill \'Soul Archive\' incredibly useful. There were skills in this world that could wipe out memories, and from the exchanges made between Lucious and the destruction devil, he knew there was a way to even extract bloodlines. His new skill would be an effective counter against such threats. It\'s just that he was too weak as a wizard to cast it.
As for his new trait, he also lacked the mean to use it.
Val didn\'t possess an Arcane Heart, a crucial organ in the wizarding world that acted as a reservoir for soul power. Without it, he wouldn\'t be able to use his new trait, Heavenly Eye, as it required the channeling of soul power. The system had stated that he would gain an Arcane Heart upon registering as a wizard, yet he didn\'t seem to have one.
Val sat in quiet contemplation, puzzled at his circumstance.
"Why don\'t I have an Arcane Heart?" he wondered aloud, his brows furrowed in deep thought.
Almost immediately, a notification popped up in front of him.
[The absence of an Arcane Heart has been detected in the Host\'s body. The creation process of an Arcane Heart will commence in 10 seconds. Please find a safe place to undergo the Arcane Heart Creation process.]
"I\'m already in a safe place," Val muttered, bracing himself.
The process began and a new organ started forming beside Val\'s heart, his ribcage expanding to accommodate the additional structure. The pain such a process would usually cause was enough to knock a grown man unconscious. However, Val couldn\'t feel pain so he remained conscious, feeling the new organ\'s creation and the strange expansion of his ribcage.
It was an uncomfortable, weird sensation, something he had never felt before, but he endured it knowing that it was for his benefit. Soon, he would have a fully formed arcane heart, and his power would increase exponentially.
...
Within the heart of the Northern Frontier, where the Destiny Coven was located, a covert meeting was taking place.
Present were not only the most ancient figures, unseen entities whose carbon traves were erased from existence, but also powerful figures whose influence over the Frontier was absolute.
Their collective was known as the \'Vigil of Destiny.\' They were true believers in fate and purpose. They held a simple yet powerful catchphrase, "As it is destined," which resonated within the hallowed walls of Destiny Coven as they took a seat around a round table.
Among the gathered were the legendary Lord of Thunder, the enigmatic figure named Lucious, the mysterious and fiery Fenris, and the aloof, mature sage known as Eldric, and a few others.
"Why have you called this meeting, Lucious?" the Lord of Thunder inquired, his voice a deep rumble.
"I\'ve discovered something intriguing in the Outlands, while I was investigating those bearing the mark of destiny," Lucious began.
Fenris leaned forward. "Interesting? Do tell, Lucious."
Lucious\' voice bore a hint of excitement as he said, "I believe I may have found the Child of Destiny."
The air in the room seemed to grow tense.
"Who is it, Lucious?" Fenris demanded.
"It\'s Val," Lucious declared.
"Val who?" the Lord of Thunder interjected.
"Val V. Whitemore, the son of our former comrade, Joshua," Lucious clarified.
"Val V. Whitemore, the son of our former comrade, Joshua," Lucious clarified.
The news seemed to strike them like a lightning bolt. Joshua, once a member of their ranks, had switched sides 2 years ago and became a lapdog of the royal family, more specifically, the Queen. His transgressions of their rules were simply a stain upon their group\'s honor.
