Ignis's eyes widened as he remembered his talent [Infusion]. With a grin on his face, he quickly opened his system interface and navigated to the ancient class section. He attempted to use his talent to add the divinity mark to the class, but to his disappointment, nothing happened.
A message from the system appeared on the screen, informing him that he did not have enough XP to use his talent at the moment.
*
[SYSTEM MESSAGE]
Insufficient XP.
To apply [Infusion] to the ancient class [The Witcher], 10,000,000 XP is required.
*
Ignis furrowed his brows in disappointment when he failed to add the divinity mark to his ancient class. He tried to use his talent on his abilities but to no avail. Ignis let out a sigh and muttered to himself, "Looks like my talent can only enhance certain things, and it seems abilities are not one of them. At least now I know the amount of XP needed to apply the enhancement… aah! It would have been amazing if my talent worked on abilities."
Not dwelling on the matter for long, Ignis opened his inventory in search of a weapon. However, his attention was quickly drawn to an unexpected item—a large, shining egg that measured over a metre in size. Ignis furrowed his brow, "The fuck! what's this?"
As he took out the egg, it started to glow even more and levitate in the air on its own. A system prompt appeared, providing an explanation for his curiosity.
*
Item: Divine Egg
Rank: Divine
Description: A sacred egg imbued with divine power. It is said that when hatched, a powerful divine being will emerge. The egg is encased in a radiant shell that glimmers with a white and golden aura.
Hatching Progress: 4%
Note: Hatching this egg requires unique energy.
*
Ignis's eyes widened as he followed the system prompt and saw the egg levitating in the air on its own, his mouth agape with shock and excitement. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster as he realised what he was looking at.
"Okay-kay-kk-kkkyyy!,"
"Divine….!"
"It's the divine item!" he said in a trembling voice, barely able to contain his excitement.
He sat down on the floor, his grin growing wider and wider as he tried to calm himself down. But the thrill of the moment was too much for him to handle, and he found himself letting out a launitic laugh.
Ignis chuckled to himself for a moment before taking a deep breath and focusing on the hatching condition. As he read through the requirements, he thought, "Unique energy, huh? That means I'll need to hunt down some unique monsters." He knew that finding these creatures would be a matter of luck. "Oh! Well, not a problem for me; I'm unlucky, so I'll stumble on them soon... just like that guardian," he said confidently.
He stood up and kept the egg again in his inventory and then looked for a weapon; his inventory currently had only 2 items, one of which was the egg and the other was a weapon selecting card.
Ignis scratched his head, staring at the array of weapons in front of him. His eyes darted from a sleek rapier to a menacing axe, and he even caught a glimpse of a kusarigama. He couldn't help but make a silly puppy face at the sight of it. Oh, baby, I'll be back for you soon," he whispered, unable to resist the allure of the kusarigama's deadly charm.
After a few moments of intense contemplation, he made his decision. He reached out, his fingers hovering over a longsword, a nodachi, and a katana. He squinted, trying to imagine himself wielding each weapon in battle. Finally, he muttered to himself, "I may not be a samurai, but I'm feeling pretty katana today."

He selected the katana as his new weapon, then closed the interface, and finally, after completing all the fuss, he was now ready to explore the cave, so he moved towards the wall of the cave to look at the shiny crystals on the wall.

Ignis couldn't help but grin as he read the first system notification. He remembered from his past life experience that magic crystals were highly valuable and sought after, as they could be used to enhance weapons, create magic items, and even as a source of energy.
The market price for them was sky high, and any player lucky enough to farm them could earn a fortune. With his fire elemental affinity, Ignis was even more excited about the prospect of mining these crystals. He could use them to upgrade his weapons or sell them for a hefty profit. The possibilities were endless.
However, the moment he read the second notification, Ignis' eyes lit up. A mischievous grin spread across his face, and without a moment's hesitation, he reached out to touch the Grade III magic crystal.

As soon as Ignis's fingers touched the smooth surface of the magic crystal, a notification popped up in front of him. Without hesitation, he eagerly responded with an enthusiastic "YES!"

Ignis felt a surge of energy coursing through his body as he absorbed the power of the magic crystal. A grin spread across his face as he looked around and saw a hoard of crystals glimmering in the dim light. He felt an uncontrollable urge to consume them all, to become even stronger.
Without hesitation, Ignis reached for another crystal and held it tightly in his hand. The crystal glowed brightly before dissolving into his palm. Ignis let out a satisfied sigh as he felt his attributes increase with each crystal he consumed. His movements became quicker and more precise, and his senses were heightened.
Ignis let out a maniacal laugh as he devoured crystal after crystal, feeling more powerful with each one.

Ignis's heart filled with excitement as he received multiple notifications about the increase in his attributes. He noticed that all the magic crystals in this area were grade III, which made him even more elated; he didn't have to go through the hassle of mining any magic crystals; he could just touch them and absorb them.
As time passed, Ignis continued to absorb all the grade III magic crystals in the area until there were none left.
After absorbing all the magic crystals, Ignis stretched his body, feeling a rush of happiness. He then opened his system interface to check his stats and see the extent of his power increase.
