Chapter 301: The Tenets Of Morte Bianca (II): New Skills (1/2)

The sounds of the sea hitting the shores of Dragon Island was soothing, for some reason, to Rezar this was the place where he could be the closest to the wind and the water. Of course at the moment he had more than three dozen guard detail stationed around the island, but there was no greater deterrent for his safety than the dragon that was currently having a conversation with Gynaika. Lenore was trying her best to follow, but obviously the more delicate aspect of politics and womanhood was completely lost to her as a vampire and dragon discussed about their monthly periods and how being undead was the best thing to have ever happened to them.

Rezar felt it was gross, which was he focused on his [13 pulse of the dragon] technique. He felt that he would hit a new stride with the technique today, and once that happens there would probably be a change in his ability to control wind and water. At the moment his control over those elements were somewhat limited, and apart from that it was about time he bought a couple of new abilities, cause frankly speaking he needed to improve his arsenal.

What he had were mostly passive skills, a new one for each of his skill trees should do wonders. That also and the stat increase he was sure to get after every session of the [13 pulse of the dragon] is completed. At this rate it would take him roughly another month to get to silver rank III. Though only god knows what it's going to take for a vampire to advance to gold rank or as it was otherwise known the Sky Lord realm.

Even though everyone had devolved into using the ore ranks, when the system first changed during the rejuvenation, it introduced the ranks in a different manner. Now it was only made mention as an official title. Rather than address a person based on their rank, like per say calling Lenore 'silver rank III Lenore' it would instead address her as 'Earth General Lenore'. It was only until recently, around a week or two ago that the system started officially using the ranking system it gave, completely dropping the ore denotations.

Even on his own stat page, Rezar had noticed the change. While it wasn't bad, it would take some time for the people to get used to nit, with some stubbornly just sticking to the ore denotations. But nothing changed, the ranks just got a more fanciful name. if Rezar had to hazard a guess, he would say this was a sort of mini update to reality, the system was still acclimating to the change and seeing how the people reacted and adapted to it; before coming up with better options. Now the ranks have been changed.

• BRONZE RANK => MORTAL SOLDIER

• SILVER RANK => EARTH GENERAL

• GOLD RANK => SKY LORD

• PLATINUM RANK => STAR KING

• DIAMOND RANK => SPACE EMPEROR

It was a lot to pay attention too, but even then it wasn't too bad. The system was faulty in a lot of things, so maybe this was its way of correcting some of them. for example, every new rank achieved you were supposed to get a new trait. But Rezar only had the trait given to him from back when he became bronze ranked, and the ones that came along with him being a king and a vampire…. Or basically awarded due to his achievements in the old world. He was almost at the peak of the silver rank, yet he had no trait. It was weird, and It seemed as if the system was rigged against him, but he was still getting stronger so it was no sweat off his back.

But be that as it may. He had other things he had to take care of now, and that was mainly the purchase of new skills for his skill trees. The thing every skill chosen could not be changed, they could be evolved and improved upon, grown to great lengths but ultimately it was all permanent and the amount of skills he could gain from a particular skill tree was limited.

He could only get five skills from a skill tree, and frankly speaking he would only be able to have five skill trees for all of his life. The only hope he had was for his still unawakened bloodline, and he had a suspicion what that bloodline might actually be. But now was not the time for speculation, now was the time for the choosing of new skills, so it was about time he got down to it.
