Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 173: CHAPTER 173 – Quest and Luck.

"Look at yourself, guys.

Both of you are an SSS ranked raider, yet you are so tense in an SS-rank gate."

Alex spoke between his chuckles.

Alice and Ann, but Alice retorted.

"Never hurts to be cautious," Alice spoke with a scoff as she folded her hands in front of her breasts.

"Oh? Using my line of me now?" Alex raised his brow as he asked with a corner of his lips raised up.

Alice just shrugged and didn't say anything.

"Anyways, let me and Noctura enjoy this fight, and you ladies keep an out for us," Alex spoke as he folded his sleeves up.

Alice and Ann nodded their heads and backed away.

"Oh, let me help you," Alex spoke as he waved his hands and two chairs made of rock emerged from the ground.

"Now just enjoy your time," Alex spoke with a smile as he bowed his head as if he were a host preparing for a show.

Alice and Ann just shook their heads with a sigh.

'Just how excited you are….' X2

They exchanged a look before they looked at the chairs made of rock.

'Well, whatever,' Both of them decided to just go on with the flow.

They were not much of a fighting enthusiast anyway.

They liked growing stronger, but that didn't mean that they loved fighting as well.

They would fight if needed, but that was all, they just wanted to have the power to protect themselves and their loved ones.

"Ready, pup?" Alex then looked at Noctura with a smile.

"Yes!" Noctura smiled while waving her tail.

Unlike Alice and Ann, Noctura, just like her master, loved the thrill of fighting.

"Good, then let's wait for the opposition to arrive," Alex spoke as he turned his attention to the quest that he got after he entered the gate.

Noctura nodded and waited for the enemies to arrive.

She was not going to use her camouflage ability as it would make the fight easier, and she wanted to enjoy the fight.

'The rewards this time are unique,' Alex muttered inwardly as he looked at the rewards.

[Do you like this better or the one that you had before?]

'This one is better, the ones before were not being used anyways, the rewards from before are either sold back to the system or just kept in storage.'

Alex shrugged inwardly.

He had done many quests till now, but he only kept some of the rewards, others were sold in the system shop.

"I could just buy them back when needed, why fill the storage needlessly?"

This is what Alex had thought.

After all, the place where the system stored the locked items, skills, bloodline, and other things was separate from the storage Alex had access.

[That's good.]

Sophia sighed in relief when she heard Alex's answer.

'Was it something you did? Do you decide the reward to be given out?'

Alex could tell that Sophia had something to do with this change, it was easy to tell after he heard Sophia's sigh of relief.

[I can't decide the reward, but I can decide the type of reward.]

Sophia replied.

'Type of reward?' Alex, however, didn't get what she meant.

[Type of rewards like I can set it to random, I can set it to the type that would just provide you with things that can help you grow, only you, then there is the category that would give out things that would help your close ones, etc.

The one I selected just now was the upgrade category.

It will give out random rewards that would help you upgrade something.]

'It's better than nothing, I can still try my luck, and thanks to the world, my luck seems to be growing quite well.'

Alex spoke as he smiled inwardly.

If he used this knowledge perfectly, then he wouldn't have to waste points to buy things separately, he might be lucky and even get the exact thing he needed to buy, as a reward instead.

But Sophia's next words interrupted his train of thought.

[The luck would stop growing after it reaches EX rank.]

'…. What?' Alex questioned with a pause.

Although his luck was not growing that fast compared to his other stats as it was still on early EX-rank, the luck was still an important stat.

So, when he heard that it would stop growing after EX-rank, he was not happy.

He needed to know the reason.

[The luck would stop growing after it reaches EX rank.]

Sophia replied to Alex's question and Alex's expression turned into the 'really now?' expression.

'Let me change the question from 'what' to 'why',' Alex stated and Sophia replied again.

'Also, stop trying to suppress your giggles,' Alex added.

Alex could tell that from her voice, so he told her to stop it, and Sophia started giggling.

'Just answer me.'

Alex spoke and Sophia replied honestly this time.

[Luck is something that helps you turn misfortune into fortune, that's its main function, I'm sure you know that.]

'Yes, I know that much,' Alex nodded his head.

[And have you heard the saying: fortune favors none?]

'Yes, I have,' Alex nodded again.

[If luck (Fortune) is not biased and favors none, then that means it won't do something that could be disadvantageous for someone and advantageous for others.

So, if luck were to increase even after EX-rank which is the limit for normal people, then it would be unfair for the ones who can't break the limit of their bodies, which is not something luck could do.]

'But the world is unfair,' Alex interjected.

[Yes, it is, but that doesn't mean luck is.

So, luck is limited to Ex-rank, and it would never go above EX-rank, not until you have gained divinity.]

'Divinity…..' This single word caught Alex's attention.

He felt very familiar with this word.

It was not the familiarity that one would say: Yeah, I know this word.

It was something else, and Alex felt like he was quite close to finding what it was but just then…

"Oh? Seems like we are having some snacks first guys."

A heavy voice was heard as the ones Alex and Noctura were waiting for had finally arrived.

Alex, however, was now annoyed.

He felt like something that was right in front of him was snatched away….

But then something happened, something caused Alex to snap.
