301 Upgrade (1/2)
On the top of a bed, Yale slowly opened his eyes disoriented and without knowing where he was.
There wasn't anyone else in the room to explain the situation to him, so Yale needed a few minutes until he remembered everything on his own.
”That is right, this time I really died, but Origin Link activated and saved me...”
Yale remembered how his heart was pierced and his body sent flying due to that shameless sneak attack.
Making an effort, Yale could also remember Liye's actions while the Origin Link was active, but he couldn't remember it all as if there were parts that Liye didn't want to let Yale see.
”Anyway, it seems that the True Empire is really finished, so it wasn't a waste that the Origin Link activated.”
Yale felt pain for the fact that his greatest trump card had been used, but he understood that he would have needed to use it later on against the True Empire or there was no way he could have won against them. Thus, Yale felt that the result would have been the same.
After Yale stopped thinking about that topic, Yale tried to check the Last Wish System, but instead of the usual reaction, the system sent him a notification.
”The Last Wish System has been upgraded.”
Yale was shocked after hearing that, but due to the fact that Yale knew that the Origin Link was Liye's last chance to help Yale directly, he understood that the upgrade was something Liye did before the Origin Link ended.
After the notification, Yale finally accessed the system, and the first thing he did was checking the Stats Menu.
”Name: Yale | Age: 17 | Origin Level: 71 |Origin Points: 130M/130M”
”Vitality: 131M | Strength: 142M | Agility: 141M| Intelligence: 150M | Wisdom: 150M | Dexterity: 130M”
Yale couldn't believe what he saw because the fact he had already turned seventeen meant that he spent a lot of time sleeping after the Origin Link's effects disappeared.
The other shocking part was his level; he had skipped two whole ranks and entered directly into the Elder Rank. Although Yale was still at the 1-star Elder Rank, he was already half-way to the next one, but the difficulty to increase his level at that point wouldn't be something easy given the huge numbers he needed. The numbers of the stats had increased so much that the system started using an M to represent millions.
Although Yale didn't dislike that huge increase in power, he felt that he cheated since he hadn't put any effort in training and was unconscious the whole time.
What Yale didn't know was that his increase in power was mostly due the fact that Liye fused the Condensed Essences with Yale's body, so the potential of the physical body reached a whole new level and it would have been difficult for Yale's level to advance less given that situation.
Yale didn't find anything strange in his Skill Menu even though his swordsmanship had reached level nine of the grandmaster stage despite being only at level one before Origin Link activated. Of course, that increase was due to the fusion with the Condensed Sword Essence.
The menu that had changed a lot was the Quest Menu, it wasn't subdivided into types like before, but it had only a list of quests listed as main quests.
Of course, all the quests Yale had from before the upgrade had been already completed making that the Storage Space improved and that information about the Condensed Essences appeared in his head, but Yale had yet to check that information.
As for the new Quest Menu, there was only a single line on it after the list of completed quests.
”Requirements not met. The quest will appear once the user fulfills the conditions.”
That behavior was new to the Quest Menu, but Yale guessed that it was probably part of the upgrade of the Last Wish System as the other two menus he had already checked didn't have any change in their functionality.
Yale also checked the Craft Menu, which he rarely used, but it was like the Stats Menu and the Skill Menu, it didn't seem to have changed.
When Yale was already thinking about if the upgrade was only meant for the Quest Menu, he noticed that a new menu had appeared in the Last Wish System.
”So, that menu should be the main reason for the upgrade.”
That new menu was called Authority Menu.
”Current world: Second level World's Authority.”
Yale remembered something about Liye using that World Authority before, but given the difficulty in using it, Yale knew that wouldn't be useful for him in the near future.
However, that wasn't the only thing displayed on the Authority Menu.
”Body Authority: The body is fused with Condensed Essences of Life, Death and Sword, the control over them increases disregarding everything else.”
