BXBX NOVEL Chapter 87 The First
People could receive Titles in completely different situations. A person could get a Title when they killed someone, saved someone, found something, or discovered uncharted territory. It was impossible to list all the existing options. There were an infinite number of them.
Naturally, the larger, more unique, and majestic the action, the more powerful the Title was. The best Titles were given for actions that could not be repeated.
Such Titles were a sign that a man had left his mark on history and that the place was his and no one else\'s. After Wain evolved, he received just such a Title, for then he accomplished something unique.
[You got the Title - The First]
[The First
This Title is unique and majestic. You were the first person to begin the process of evolution. It\'s an event no one will ever be able to repeat, no matter what happens. As a pioneer, you will continue to go forward faster than billions.
You will receive 10% more Soul Essence when you destroy a soul. You now need 10% less Soul Essence to develop a skill or soul]
"Amazing..." Mumbled Wain. On the one hand, 10% wasn\'t a great number, but it wasn\'t. In Wain\'s opinion, such an effect created a colossal gap between him and others that was almost impossible to bridge.
Moreover, Wain did not expect to be the first of so many people. For Wain, this was surprising. He didn\'t think he could be the first since he found himself in the human world a little later after the apocalypse, which he had started.
"Okay, what\'s next?" Wain muttered and looked at the following message.
p
Immediately after reading this message, Wain\'s Seal of Darkness glowed brightly, and he once again saw the place where the soul necessary to unlock the third form was located. This time Wain saw the location more clearly than before.
"Great, to be honest, I was a little worried that Code of Light and Darkness would soon become a weak and useless skill. But I guess I was worried for nothing." Wain muttered and moved on to the next message.
It was the last and most important. Everything that had happened before was just a prelude.
When one evolved, one became a Primary Chronicle creature, and simply increasing one\'s stats or balancing one\'s Rating skills was not enough for such a significant event.
[You unlocked your first Beyond - Calamity]
\'Beyond? What\'s that all about? I\'ve never heard of anything like that...\' Thought Wain. It seemed strange to him. Wain wanted to know what it was, but suddenly his status appeared before him.
[Wain Norheim
Level: 15
Race: Human
Beyond: Calamity
Soul: Nameless King
Additional Soul: Black Thunder\'s Renegade
Title: Savior of the Damned, Echo of Samurai, Mentor Inquisitor, The First
Status Points: 12
Strength: 76 / Agility: 79 / Vitality: 51 / Stamina: 54 / Energy: 118]
"What? There\'s a new line here, and it\'s Beyond, but what could it mean?" Wain muttered thoughtfully.
After Wain evolved, he broke his limits to move on and get stronger. The man had to come to his limit and gather enough Soul Essence to break the limits.
But, each powerful being had his own way. First Chronicle, as the name implied, could be called the beginning of that path.
Beyond was the embodiment of that path as if proof that human had surpassed his limits and begun to make his own way in history.
\'As far as I\'m concerned, Beyond is remotely similar to Titles. My Beyond is Calamity...but what does that mean?
Wain decided to hide his status and see the description of his Beyond.
[Calamity
Who brings destruction? You? Your demon? Or your darkness in your soul? Do you and this world really exist? Perhaps it must be destroyed by disaster?]
"What...?" Wain muttered. He was stunned and had no idea what to say. The description of Beyond did not clarify the situation in any way. On the contrary, Wain felt as if a barrage of questions and riddles had fallen upon him.
"I wonder what it all means? Furthermore, does Calamity give me some kind of power, or maybe it\'s some kind of ability? If so, how do I use it? Fuck, the number of questions has increased by ten in the last minute, and the answers are still zero." Proclaimed Wain.
There were no more messages. Wain was surprised that so many things had happened since he had evolved.
All of his, even his wildest expectations, had been exceeded. He became stronger in every possible way and even discovered a power unknown to him.
For the next few minutes, Wain pondered what had happened. He felt excellent, but he was also at a bit of a loss for the strange description of Calamity.
"Okay, time to get out of here." Mumbled Wain and headed for the tunnel exit.
\'By the way, how long have I been evolving?\' Wain thought, and the Ring of Damned glowed brightly.
A phone appeared in his hands, but unfortunately for Wain, it no longer worked.
\'Shit, though, it\'s not that important. I have to go back to the university and ask Gisle about everything. He\'s probably been trying to contact me all this time or find out where I am." Said Wain and dove into the dark water.
When he emerged from the dark pond, he looked around. He saw several ruined tents, broken weapons, and even long-dried blood on the floor.
"I see. Even though this place is very far away and difficult to get to, some people could get in here. I was right to take the time and effort to dig the tunnel. Otherwise, they would have interrupted the evolutionary process." Proclaimed Wain and stepped forward.
To get outside, Wain had to get to the portal. That wasn\'t a problem.
After a couple of minutes, Wain reached the hall where Merfoks summoned the octopus. This hall was ruined and filled with water. Wain dove in and headed at full speed toward the exit of the Dungeon.
At this point, he could hold his breath for about ten minutes, a lot longer than before, and it was more than enough time to swim to the portal.
As Wain swam to the portal, he looked around. In the distance, he saw quite a few people.
\'I spotted at least five groups of four and all of them fighting some kind of monsters. While I\'ve been evolving, it seems that this place has become popular, but that\'s not surprising. This Dungeon is vast, and it\'s great hunting grounds if you can swim well.\' Wain thought.
He was not shocked that there were people here. After all, even after a few hours of his time in this Dungeon, a group of five people had found a well and entered the Dungeon through a portal.
Wain wouldn\'t have been surprised if several large bases had been built here.
\'Hmm, most of the time, it\'s much more profitable to hunt in Dungeon than in some areas, but there\'s no variety in these areas. That\'s a pretty big disadvantage, though, I\'ve only been to two Dungeon, so it\'s too early to draw conclusions.\' Wain thought as he approached the portal.
