Chapter 117 Ruler Gift

"Domain Ruler, the benefits received by the first Ruler may look excessive as they came from a welcoming gift to the newly selected Ruler, but you should also consider the requirement needed to obtain those benefits," Varon said as Alex finished the glass of water.

'The requirements might be impossible to complete, but still, the benefits are just too ridiculous, but then again, all the benefits from the domain a Ruler could receive just break any common sense.' Alex thought.

The first Ruler received all the benefits that the second Ruler received and more, with all the benefits being so good that the Ancient Colossal Dragon bloodline didn't look lackluster, but it looked trash in comparison.

The first Ruler had the bloodline of the Ancient Titan, a bloodline of the Ancient Grade, and even though the evolution fruit didn't evolve its grade, the bloodline evolved to the World Eater Titan.

Varon didn't have much information about the World Eater Titan bloodline, as the first Ruler didn't leave many records about it, but he did know that the Ancient Titan bloodline was insignificant compared to its evolved version, even though both bloodlines belonged to the same grade.

The First Ruler's natural talent in the darkness element was boosted to unknown heights while he also awakened two superior elements [Chaos] and [Destruction], and he had a great affinity with both of them.

The first Ruler gained a massive boost to his mana sensitivity and mental strength, which allowed him to accomplish things tens of times faster than he could previously do.

The overall benefits that the first Ruler gained boosted his talent to such a level that he could create a new peak Fifth Rank Spell in just Six hours while being a fifth Rank warrior.

The Tenth Ruler hailed as the greatest talent after the first Ruler, took five days to create a peak fifth Rank spell while being a fifth Rank warrior.

The list of benefits received by the first Ruler went on and on because as he reached higher Ranks of strength, his gifts only became better.

"Varon, Did the first Ruler didn't have any elemental physique, or did you forget to tell me about it," Alex said after thinking about it for a few seconds.

"The First Ruler had an elemental physique, but like many things, he didn't disclose anything related to it and kept it a secret to himself," Varon replied with a wary smile.

'It is good Erebus didn't reveal all the benefits he received because too much information will only make other Rulers feel bad about the benefits they will receive.' Alex thought, not even interested in knowing more.

'Now the logical choice is to choose the Bloodline fruit by first selecting a good bloodline that will best suit me, but then again, missing on the evolution fruit after knowing about the benefits it could provide just doesn't sit well with me.' Alex thought.

"Varon, So which fruit would recement that I should choose," Alex asked.

Alex knew he could waste all the time he wanted, but there was no way he would make a decision he wouldn't regret.

"The Bloodline fruit is the safest option, but if you are willing to sacrifice guaranteed benefits to take a greater risk for better rewards, then choose the evolution fruit," Varon replied with an emotionless face.

'I was hoping he would give me some false hope and make select between the two fruits without regretting my decision.' Alex thought with a wary smile.

Alex knew that the bloodline fruit was the best and only logical choice, and even thinking about the evolution fruit was a stupid thing, but as a human, greed was a big part of his life, and there was no changing it.

'Any bloodline of the ancient grade will give me great benefits in both the short and long term because the benefits will only get better as I progress through the Ranks and gain more strength, but the benefits will be limited to just the bloodline.'

'The Evolution fruit, in comparison, could give me all the benefits of the bloodline and many more, and even though the risk is crazy high but so are the rewards.' Alex thought, conflicted about his choice.

"Varon, Do you know if I could get the evolution and bloodline fruit of the same quality from the Ruler shop?" Alex asked.

"Domain Ruler, In my knowledge, the Unknown Bloodline fruit and Evolution fruit of the same quality won't be available for purchase, but their variants will be available."

"The evolution fruits available for purchase will only evolve a specific thing, and the bloodline fruits with predetermined bloodlines will be available, and their quality will be proportional to your Ruler's Authority," Varon replied.

'This solves the problem.' Alex thought, making his decision.

"Varon, Do you think it will be a stupid decision if I chose the evolution fruit?" Alex asked, knowing Varon would tell him the truth without sugarcoating it.

"It doesn't matter what I or anyone else think because it is your gift, and it is your choice to make, and if you are confident with your decision and are willing to take the risk for greater reward, then I support your decision," Varon replied with a smile.

"I will be choosing the evolution fruit," Alex said, not overthinking his decision.

'I hope my body can handle the forceful evolution until at least 15% to 20% evolution energy gets used, as that should provide me with enough benefits not to regret my decision.' Alex thought, hoping for the best.

Alex was not delusional in believing that he would have a better result than the first Ruler when he had the most common bloodline, but his bloodline was also why he didn't miss out on the evolution fruit.

The Human Bloodline's greatest advantage was its adaptability, and Alex understood that, and because of it, he was willing to take the risk, knowing this was his only chance to use an evolution fruit of such quality.

'Let's get my gift.' Alex thought as he opened the Ruler shop.

Alex quickly went to the gift section, and without looking at any other magical fruit, he went to the evolution fruit and swiftly claimed it as his Ruler gift.

[Evolution Fruit Claimed]

'I thought the Magical fruit would mature in a few days, but I didn't expect it to take thirty days.' Alex thought, looking at the newly available option on his Ruler window.

The evolution fruit wasn't given to Alex, but it was directly growing on the dawn tree in the castle garden, and he only took it after it matured completely and was ready to use.

"Varon, do you think my strength will affect the forceful evolution process," Alex asked.

Alex had no clue if using the evolution fruit while being a mortal Rank warrior or a fifth-grade warrior made any difference, but he wanted to do everything possible to increase his success rate.

"The Fist Ruler used the evolution fruit when he was a Fifth Rank warrior, and the second Ruler did the same, and you already know both of their results."

"I believe strength doesn't make any difference, but to be on the safe side, you should consume the fruit after reaching the peak of the third Rank, as it is the limit of the Mortal Rank," Varon said.

'In thirty days, I can advance to the second or even the third Rank if the promotion quest of my legacy is not too difficult, and reaching the third rank peak should be easy.'

'I would like to consume the fruit after reaching the fifth Rank like first and second Ruler, but I know it will take me a lot of time even with the help from my legacy.' Alex thought.

In Alex's previous life, the fastest player to advance to the fifth Rank took 1.5 years even though he had a [SSS] Rank legacy and complete support from the world's best guild, which allowed him to get power leveled every day, making him save a lot of time.

If an NPC had achieved such a feat of reaching the fifth Rank in mere 1.5 years, he would be the most remarkable talent to ever exist on the planet, but for a player, it was possible because of their cheats.

An NPC needed to learn the mysteries of their element and accumulate mana inside their bodies to slowly reach a limit and break it to advance in Ranks.

The player completely skipped this process and replaced it with levels, making them kill anything to gain exp and increase their level to reach that limit, and to break it, they just needed to clear a promotion quest.

This was the reason why all players could reach the peak of the third Rank by just leveling, and only a minority of NPCs will ever reach that level of strength.
