Chapter 35 (1/2)

Thulhu now fully understood how extraordinary power worked in this world.

Rank one classes were called ‘extraordinaries’; rank two were ‘elites’; rank three were ‘experts’; and rank four ‘masters’… To progress further in a specific field, one required a special occupation!

Meanwhile, some occupations could be quite unreliable.

Some occupations stopped at rank three on record. Unless a specialist somehow figured out a way to get to rank four on their own, there was no chance of progressing further.

This kind of research was extremely time- and energy-consuming.

It was obvious that choosing a different occupation was far more cost-efficient.

However, picking up a second occupation also meant a late start.

But this was different for Thulhu with his cheat codes. As long as he had enough XP, he might be able to force a breakthrough.

According to Roald, to become an [Apprentice], one needed a mentor and had to study hard; to become a [Soldier], one had to work out very intensely.

But Thulhu didn’t have to work that hard. As long as he had enough XP, he could become an [Apprentice] or [Soldier] at any time!

That was Thulhu’s edge. Of course, he could also choose to work hard like ordinary people. After all, while Thulhu’s attributes panel was extremely helpful, he still had to meet some conditions. For example, the spell Corpse Princess required a special occupation in order to level up. And earning an occupation was sure to be much more difficult than learning skills!

At that moment, he heard Roald say, “An occupation system at the ‘master’ level is called an ‘inheritance,’ which contains four occupations and the corresponding training, potions, and rituals, as well as more information. Extraordinary families, churches, and many secret groups were established based on these inheritances. Our family also has one!”

Thulhu could tell that Roald was very proud but struggled at the same time.

“The Demon Hunter inheritance? I learned some of it when I was younger,” Thulhu said honestly.

“You were too young to handle the power of the ritual before you left home. The time wasn’t right either… it wasn’t yet dawn… so father didn’t say much about it.”

Roald took a deep breath. “Our family’s inheritance starts with rank one [Demon Contractor], then rank two [Demon Hunter], rank three [Demon Hunter Expert], and then rank four [Demon Hunter Master]. It’s a complete system. You can advance further, but the secrets of that are with the Goddess of Light Church…”

“Do we literally… hunt demons?” Thulhu finally asked the question.

“No!”

Roald’s response was sad and desperate. “What is the demon? The demon is just a code name! Humans imagine what it looks like and give it this so-called title. No one knows exactly what it is, or even its real name! Maybe just uttering its name will contaminate your soul, or just staring at it from behind will kill you. No matter where it goes, the land cracks, rivers dry up, and nothing is left except nothing itself. Anyone who catches its attention falls into the deepest despair!”

Roald’s words sounded very imaginative to Thulhu.
