John had been practicing his inscription method for a solid three months, but he still had barely made any progress on the incription method. He had successfully managed to draw energy into his mental sphere by forming a connection made of mental energy with his dantion. But that was the easy part, the problem was that his mental sphere couldn't handle too much energy in his mental sphere. The energy put an extreme amount on the sphere, the energy not only allowed him to increase the density of his mental sphere and the circumference of it as well. He drew in a minute amount every time, but he had a migraine the days following. He also continued to study the cobractic rune through the duration of his succlution, this further increased the strength of his mental sphere. With his constant use of mental sphere enhancing methods, he easily had gotten a large advancement into the third level of his mental sphere.
It was on this day that he had decided to attempt an inscription on a random pair of gauntlets he had found in the space ring he picked up off the corpse. The step after drawing energy into the mind, the user has to inscribe the energy with a powerful meaning to fully draw out the energy's latent potential.
John cut off a portion of the energy lake he had gathered in his mind, the effect he wanted to imbue was the ability to combine with another and for the image he summoned to infuse the gauntlets with was the most powerful image he could muster....it was...….a image of one of those idle merging games, that he played for his youtube channel when he was just a highschooler.
A pulsating multi-colored membrane coated the gauntlets and energy screws formed out of the energy coating and began to infuse the gauntlets with the meanings he desired. He lost track of time as the process continued with him having to constantly alter the structure of the gauntlets to properly allow for the meanings to entirely molecularly alter them and allow for his first success after multiple dozens of failed attempts.
Multiple hours had passed by the time that the membrane had disappeared, he shouted with glee as he had finally accomplished a success in that extremely difficult task. He slid the gauntlets on and summoned the excalibur level gauntlets. Combining the two gauntlets he got a notification.
'The user has advanced the tier of a legendary tier equipment, the equipment has been promoted to the ruler class of equipment. The skill energy refinement acquired, The skill meaning infusement has been acquired, The skill weapon morph has acquired the ability to infuse elements into attacks and has unlocked multiple new skills because of this skill, The skill basic weapon forging has been unlocked, The skill basic weapon enhancing has been unlocked, skill lower gauntlet mastery has been unlocked because of the users new achievement, And the skill magic circle has been unlocked'.
John was flooded with notifications which all left him speechless by the insane abilities that he had received from the success he had his inscription.
Suddenly the gauntlets which had just combined suddenly began to glow and the spikes gained the ability to rapidly expand to an enormous shape, such as a spear, sword, shield and many other variations.
John had stubble that had grown in during the time that he was in the cave, while he was getting up and suddenly remembered his appearance. He summoned a wave of fire that washed over his face instantly removing the budding beard, he also cast a quick wave of water over himself real quick.
The hidden tattoo appeared from beneath his skin causing the stone wall to part and started walking out to take another quest before promptly collapsing. His bones crackelled and creakedas he got up for the first time in weeks, he successfully managed this time as he used the transformation to make the spikes into staffs. Exhaling he thought to himself to not sit still for such long times. He slipped through the halls to get to the guildhall and instantly walked up to the front desk and asked about the assignments available.
"Hey Martha, what missions do we have for the beginning of the fifth realm". John said as he walked up to the receptionist who he knew very well.
"Oh hello John, we currently have about fifteen available". He looked through them and picked the one he thought would be the biggest challenge and to prove himself as an apex predator worthy of being a restrained colossus drake.
After he picked the mission he instantly disappeared for the hall and as soon as he had gotten far enough away he transformed into a monstrosity, his massive theathery wings ripped through the air. After only a few flaps of his enormous wings instantly reaching high in the sky, embracing the amazing feeling of flight. It wasn't only an instinctual feeling but also a feeling of immense joy with how much flying was like riding thirteen roller coasters at once.
After only a few hours of flight, he revealed his massive toothy smile as he began to smell an atrocious stench of an inferior dragon, his eyes increasing massively leaving literally no white. He roared and dropped toward the scorched earth around him.
He had awoken an ancient looking earth dragon and began to sprint towards it, he began punching the absolute shit of the dragon, the spike on his hand ripped through the dragon. The dragon healed from the wound instantly as it had an insane regeneration ability, it took up a decent amount of energy but was still worth it.
"You giant fucking lizard, accept you punishment you inferior race". John said as he readied himself to jump back into the battle.
