MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

156 Second Rank Promotion

'The pain was worth it.' Alex thought with a bright smile as he looked at his charter window.

'Let's see my bare stats without any equipment boost.' Alex thought and quickly unequipped his rings and the bracelet while his weapon and armor were already unequipped.

'My vitality is up by more than twenty-five hundred points while all other stats are up by an average of three hundred points.' Alex thought, thrilled with the stat boost.

'My charm stat has been unlocked, which would be helpful, while I also have gained two new passive skills.' Alex thought, looking at the two skills.

------------

Description: The user's body has become immune to physical or non-physical pain to a certain extent.

------------

'After the second Rank promotion, I should have stats similar to fourth Rank warriors, and if I have high Ranking skills to back them up, I should be unstoppable up to the fourth Rank.' Alex thought with a silly smile.

Alex was beyond thrilled with the stats boost because he had gained more than four thousand stats, and after every Rank promotion, they would only get double.

'Let's find Varon and complete my promotion to second Rank.' Alex thought as he equipped all his equipment's.

Alex planned to complete the Rank promotion in Varon's presence as he needed help choosing the best available skills.

Alex left the room, and with the help of the head maid, he quickly met with Varon, and after having a light conversation, he told him about the Rank promotion.

Varon took Alex to the palace training chamber, and without any delay, Alex started the Rank promotion knowing it would normally take close to four hours for it to complete.

-----------------------

[10 Hours Later]

Alex heard the system notification as he regained consciousness, and the first thing he saw was the holographic window of the system asking him to select his skills to complete the Rank promotion.

'I feel Great.' Alex thought as he stretched his body, feeling the best he had felt in days.

'I am not surprised the Rank promotion took such a long time.' Alex thought, seeing the time he spent staying unconscious.

'Let's start by upgrading all the class-specific skills.' Alex thought as he opened the upgrade skill section.

After spending 1210 skill points, Alex upgraded all of his skills to the second Rank, with each skill costing upgrade costing him around 10% of the original price.

'The ability to summon two elementals at the peak of the third Rank is nice, but I was hoping that after the upgrade, the strength limit would get pushed into the fourth Rank.' Alex thought, slightly disappointed by the skill upgrade.

Alex checked the remaining skills, and each of them got a significant boost to their effect, and even their cool-down period was also reduced.

'Let's check some new skills.' Alex thought as he closed the upgrade section.

Alex started checking the available skill, and with Varon's help, he selected four skills that could benefit him in both the short and long term.

'I have around 140 skill points left, but I can't buy any worthwhile skill with them, so I might as well save them for the next time.' Alex thought as he purchased his chosen skills.

'These are some excellent skills.' Alex thought, checking the skill after purchasing them.

[Important Note: The Null energy is highly potent, and prolonged use of it on a weapon would permanently damage the integrity of the used weapon.]

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

'I can't wait to test these skills in battle, especially the null energy skill.' Alex thought, looking at the most expensive skill he had purchased.

Alex had planned to get some high-damage skill from the start because his strength was much greater at his Rank, but it was wasted if he couldn't properly utilize it.

Alex had spent half of his skill points on a single skill that had many limitations, but he was delighted to have it just because of its high destructive power.

The skill was Second Rank, but its power surpassed even a peak third Rank skill, as the null energy would erase anything it came in contact with, and combined with Alex's strength, it would be his real trump card.

The best thing about the skills was that they could be upgraded after every Rank promotion meaning they would only become stronger and more useful as Alex reached higher Ranks.

Alex was thinking about the different use cases of null energy when his head rang with system notifications, and he experienced the euphoria of all his stats becoming double.

---------------

System Notification

[Congratulation Player Hidden One]

[Promotion to Second Rank Complete]

[All Base Stats Increased By 100%]

-------

[Ruler Mission: Second Rank Promotion Complete]

[3000_Ruler Coins] Gained

---------------

'Now I just need to reach the third Rank in the next forty-five days, and I should be able to easily complete the first Domain Connection mission and gain the 4000 intelligence stat increase.' Alex thought as he checked the Ruler mission section.

Alex wanted to complete the first Domain Connection mission before even his first Rank promotion to gain the intelligence stat increase, but it was impossible because the mission available were not enough to meet the condition.

The current missions available were only five, with four being the same that was present at the start and the fifth one requiring him to reach the Third Rank.

Alex knew that after he completed the condition to get the third Rank promotion, the sixth mission (Test of Might (III) should appear like the previous two times.

Varon had told Alex about the domain connection's first mission and what he needed to do to complete it, which was why he was so eager to reach the third Rank as fast as possible.

'These skills are useless at my current strength, so I might as well remove them and make my status screen look less clustered.' Alex thought, looking at the skill he learned after his previous first Rank promotion.

[System Notification]

[Remove Skills: [Parry] [Three Slashes of Death][Death Magic Spear][Touch of Decay][Shadow Summon]....]

[Yes/No]

Alex clicked yes, and all of the selected skills were removed from his status window, making it look much cleaner.

'My 20% stat boost from the Prehistorian title is gone.' Alex thought, looking at his newly updated character window.
