Even if I don't like to admit it, I constantly feel fear of this new world that is about to engulf me. Since the first advertisement for Progress Online when I was in my living room, I have not stopped having nightmares on successive nights.
A world of magic, adventure, and filled with seductive and fantastic creatures that will be in our world? Who wouldn't want to see these kinds of things happen? But what about the darkness that hides under these beautiful adventures? The monsters that cannot be defeated by our most sophisticated weapons, the incessant invasion that threatens every second, our beautiful blue planet to extinction... and new races that take humans either as cattle or insects.
Even if I know all these things, I remain one of the victims too.
That's why I will have to do everything, even if I will have to bleed my soul with magmatic efforts, I will not hesitate to change this tragic destiny that probably awaits our race.
I am not a hero or a saint who will try to eradicate evil, but I am not also a demon who will try to save himself by letting everyone be exterminated. That's why I chose my current class after meeting all the conditions.
This will allow me to create not only heroes, who will save the world but also demons who will massacre the worst garbage that infects our species. And to reach this goal, I would make sure to become not only the strongest of all but also the most influential, the most respected, and the most feared of all! Because in reality, missing one of these qualities will become a weakness for me in the near future.
The reason why I had not yet used this skill was that it defied all the laws of this world. Because I didn't want to attract the attention of game masters, I have deprived myself of using it since I discovered it-
-For some reason, I have the impression that this skill cannot belong to players or NPCs.
One day rather.
When Kasel obtained his merchant class from Harold, he also learned crucial information about the single competence [AUTHORITY] yesterday.
Unique skill, AUTHORITY (x3). |
AUTHORITY 01: The will of the creator. |
This skill allows you to use n% of the [PROGRESS] creator power as a delay (seconds) proportional to the percentage you used to launch the skill. |
Minimum condition for its activation, [10AUT] [10%EVOL]|
AUTHORITY 02: -/-|
Evolve your class to mythical rank, and reach level 100; to learn more about this authority. |
AUTHORITY 03: -/-|
-/- |
...
'The power of the creator of this world? What did that mean?? I had no idea; at least until I used this skill. But at that moment, I did not yet know that my thoughtless actions would accelerate the inevitable and attract me to the wrath of the most feared, even among the game masters!
...
"Activate the creator's will!"
You have decided to activate Authority 01: the will of the creator. |
Ten seconds will be granted to you. During this time, you can exercise 10% of the creator's power in the world. |
"!"
-Instantly...
Time was frozen around him, no, it was different from before this time; it would be fairer to say that it was the game world itself that had stopped!
{10}
But Kasel could see a strange clock in his visual field whose seconds flowed five times slower than the norm.
As a result, instead of ten seconds, it was rather fifty seconds that he had at his disposal.
But it was not the strangest thing that had happened to him.
Instead of gaining superpowers, or acquiring a new skill, the power of authority was different from all that.
His eyes,
They were white; no pupils or iris... just two white eyes looking in the void with stupor.
-These letters..."
{9} (time remaining before the revocation of his authority.)
In front of him, or rather, all around him, even the smallest seed of sand had shown information that is written in a language that Kasel had never seen.
But for a reason he himself did not know, he could understand some of them.
Like some information about the wolf in front of him, and information about his teammates. But, all the information about him was gray and incomprehensible!
Even knowing this, in addition to knowing that he did not have much time in front of him, he approached a tree and immediately saw its information sheet, which is both gray and green.
-Sigh, in short, this skill gives me the power to influence the world of [progress] by modifying the writings into the green. But those that are grayed out cannot be modified by me...I suppose.
Said Kasel with a dazed air, not believing in what he saw. He looked at the information he could interpret from the tree.
Tree of Kharm(Grey)| name
10.35m (green)| meter.
... |
Unique property: none (green)|
Spirit: none (Grey)|
By seeing this information and understanding its meanings...or not;
But he didn't care about this detail. He began to modify the length of the tree and granted it healing property; it was the only color information that could are modified by him.
{7}
Then instantly,
The tree shrunk and the property column had changed into it.
Unique property: Healing|
-Gasp.
Without waiting for another second, one turned to the wolf and looked at him with a salacious expression.
And scribbled a few things about him!
After finishing, he realized that he had only three seconds left!
He looked at his sword, but it was grayish, just like his own body.
But his ring was different!
Trader's Ring, common (green)|
Unique characteristics: enslavement. |
A Machiavellian smile adorned his lips when he saw the texts of his ring in green!
Without losing a second, he made changes according to what his authorities allowed him to do.
It was these last maneuvers before the seconds were exhausted.
But instead of everything becoming as before, his environment changed instantly and he found himself in a white space without a wall or anything but absolute emptiness.
[You are very pretentious for an inferior creature to want to use a power that exceeds you.]
"!"
A soft, monotonous, and indifferent voice resounded in his ears. Even if he knew that the being who spoke to her did not speak in any language he knew, he could still understand what she was saying.
"Who? Or rather... what are you?" Even if his heartbeat was in his chest like a drum, Kasel kept his expression indifferent.
[I knew you were dangerous, but the others who saw nothing more than their insignificant powers thought that you would be a subject that will entertain them better than others.]
"..." knowing that she did not intend to answer her questions, Kasel no longer asked questions.
Instead, he listened to the voice that probably seemed to belong to the said creator.
[Sigh, what should I do with a simple insignificant creature like you? You are certainly an interesting subject that I have not stopped observing, but dangerous for the fake peace that can collapse at any time.]
-I don't know who you are but, I swear to make you regret daring to underestimate us.
Kasel spoke these words coldly in his thoughts with icy eyes.
[A threat? That's interesting.]
"!" Unfortunately, his thoughts were not safe from the voice addressed to him.
[Indeed, you are very interesting. Your cold blood, your seriousness, and your absence from the questions; all these factors make me think that you know things you should not know. ]
"!"
[Finally, it doesn't matter. To find out the traitor, I see no choice but to transgress the rules; now that I have a good reason to do so.]
With these last words, Kasel was teleported from the white space and found himself in front of the corpse of the Alpha wolf!
'Hm? The wolf is dead? Who was this woman? Why did she let me alive while knowing that I was a menace to them?' Kasel had thousands of questions in his mind but they remained unanswered.
You have defeated the Alpha wolf. |
-Ironic smile
"Sigh, what liars. My authority did not allow me to kill the wolf. So I had no other option than to cancel its rage mode.' He wanted to shout these words aloud but, knowing that it would be useless, he as if nothing had happened.
He looked at the ring that he had just configured. But to his surprise, it had lost all its usefulness; even worse, it was nothing more than a useless ring without function!
"Sigh, the whore!" He finally muttered these words with rage.
But his bad luck was not over, not only had the wolf not left any object after its transformation into smoke, but he himself had not received any XP!
"Haha, She was ruthless!" Kasel swore once again after noticing a notification in front of him.
Your authority is blocked by the authority of supremacy. |
You can now be the supremacy authority apostle.|
Description: none.|
Do you agree to be the apostle of supremacy?|
Kasel stood empty, believing that all his efforts were in vain!
"M. Fallen, is everything okay? Why are you angry even though you escaped death?" Avery was the first to ask him the question.
He looked at Avery with indifferent eyes before taking a long dull sigh. "It's nothing, it's just that the wolf left nothing behind!" He spoke these words with these excuses.
Then, he directly refused the request to be an apostle without hesitation.
"What? Despite all the efforts you have made to kill him? It's too unfair!" Gray thundered in turn looking dissatisfied.
"Unfair? Sigh, the weak do not have the right to complain in the face of injustice. It's nothing more than a waste of saliva." Kasel replied. But his words were addressed to himself.
"..." Gray scratched his head with an ironic smile.
He just wanted to be friendly to Kasel. But apparently, it seems that Kasel was more affected by this loss than he had thought.
"In short, let's share the rewards and continue on our way. After all, it's not the end of the world." He said, looking at the other furs and fangs that the monsters had left behind.
Avery and Gray nodded and began to get to work.
