Chereads / Sol Alpha / Chapter 17 - Mysteries

Chapter 17 - Mysteries

Ouch!

Sol slowly opened his eyes as he was bombarded by notifications that had accumulated in his sleep.

Ding!

[Orc Warrior killed: +100 exp]

Ding!

[Level up]

[New spell unlocked: Ren]

Ding!

[New sub-quest acquired]

Ding!

[Mission accomplished: +150 exp]

[New ability unlocked: Predatory Gaze]

[Looking into the eyes of Cerberus is like staring deep into the deepest chambers of the underworld and not many can stand it. Ability's effect is dependent on your awareness!]

Ding!

[Bloodline power awakened]

[Hellfire of Cerberus: Host taps into his bloodline and awakens the Hellfire ability of Cerberus. Once activated, the host stimulates the power of Cerberus within him which allows him to draw out immense power from it]

[+10 to all stats]

[Hellfire acquired]

[Can only say five minutes in this mode]

[Every time this mode is used, the immortal blood scattering seal will activate in turn to suppress this ability. As a result, the host will permanently lose a stat point and will be left unconscious for at least a week!]

Buzz!

Sol frowned as he saw this and he quickly checked his stat points

[Awareness: 6]

[Exp: 220/300]

Seeing his Dexterity points permanently drop from four points to three made Sol's heart tighten. Each stat point means heaven and earth to him and he found it very uncomfortable when the stat was deleted from.

Dexterity meant control!

When going against the ghoul, his stats were halved because he was in a weakened state and because of that he could barely maintain his flames. Sol could only sigh as three points weren't too bad. For now, he saw no reason for control, all he needed now is more power.

"Add point to awareness," Sol said indifferently.

Ding!

Sigh!

Sol exhaled as thoughts of that particular day ran through his mind. The memories he saw weren't his and Sol knew it. He shouldn't have happened when that happened, so why did he see it?

By the way, he had asked countless questions to which the system has remained quiet, so why reveal these things to him in the middle of the battlefield?

What is this system and how is it connected to the sixth tribe chieftain?

Sol frowned deeply as countless thoughts ran through his mind but he couldn't come up with a reasonable theory behind all of this since the information he has is incomplete and too scattered.

...

"If that is the case, then I will shatter this seal… this world, I will make it mine! That way, you won't have to worry anymore"

.....

The words of the sixth elder rang in his head and he couldn't help but remember when he said those words to the Ƙhai'k and the elder told him his father once said those words.

Those that mean this same seal was placed on the sixth tribe chieftain as well?

If yes, why?

Then finally, what did the sixth tribe chieftain mean when he mentioned the acting method as a method of awakening his true power?

What is this acting method?

"Aaaaaaaahh!" Sol let out a frustrated scream as he rubbed his forehead with a deep frown.

This life is fun but stressful!

Information is power and that's what he is lacking in this world and that's why he found it hard to settle the problem.

"I need to find a library or something… somewhere I can get more information concerning this world" Sol sternly admitted.

At this rate, he may end up dying without knowing the cause.

Clank!

Sol's eyes narrowed as he looked towards the door of his room and the elderly man with long white hair walked into the room. His eyes were filled with enough emotions to make them look watery, leaving Sol stunned. The last time he spoke to this man, they ended off in a bad tone which led to other things.

Thud!

"Mukhiya!"

The ƙhai'k fell to his knees and bowed deeply while screaming those words

Ding!

[Achievement unlocked: Mukhiya]

[Congratulations! By defeating the Orc Warrior which the other heirs had failed to defeat even with their joint strength, the host has recovered some of the lost glory of the sixth tribe. Because of your achievements, the Ƙhai'k finally understands your intentions and fully acknowledges you as the Mukhiya(Chieftain)]

[+100 exp]

[+1 stat point]

[You are already on the right track! Keep achieving and soon the entire Hallow mountain will acknowledge you as the sixth tribe Chieftain, that way you will become a true Chieftain and not just in name]

Ding!

[Exp: 020/500]

Sol was stunned by the last message. The system wasn't the type to talk much but now it sounded excited like a living person would be. Sol had a dreadful feeling about this system in his mind and he got the feeling it was just a ticking time bomb.

Is he some sort of pawn to these people?

"Why am I here?" Sol asked blankly.

"The next stage of the exam is in a month. Many people were badly hurt and some dead… students were given time to rest and mourn" The Ƙhai'k said and Sol frowned.

How could fifteen-year-old kids be forced to fight to the death and no one is complaining?

His eyes chilled and his rage boiling but Sol tried his best to keep his emotions in check
