The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

Chapter 31 Class Creation I

?She could automatically absorb Mana anyway, so it did not hurt anyone to just relax.

And to relax, she did.

Time went by, and the intensity of the fight was still on going. They had been fighting for an hour, and yet were not tired?

Such monsters.

She thought, and another ten minutes flashed by. She then found herself so bored, she fell asleep on the cold ground.

Time was irrelevant to them at this point. They... might stay here for a while.

...

Boom!!

A loud sound rang out, and the ground shook as if a small earth quake took place. "Hmm? What, what is..." Juliette woke up and set up, yawning as she did so.

She then rubbed her eyes and surveyed the environment. Moments later, she saw the blurry image of a giant creature not far away, which became clear by the moment.

"A Dragon?" She wondered, then it clicked to her that they were fighting against a dragon, and where she was. "Oh? Is it over already?"

She thought out loud, and was answered by a series of notifications within her mind.

[ TING!!! ]

[ Congratulations!! You have successfully cleared the once-off Hidden Trial: Dragon Conquest ]

[ ... ]

Juliette was surprised by the numerous notifications threatening to cloud her vision, but most importantly, "Damien!!!"

She called out and hastily stood up, rushing towards the site of the battle. Where the dragon's body fell, to be more precise.

She easily arrived near the place where the dragon's gigantic body lay, and besides it, was the body of the man she adored laying down there.

She sighed in relief as she saw that he was still in one piece, then went up to him and gently nudged him to wake him up.

It did not take long for Damien to wake up, and sit up. Juliette sighed in relief once again and told him about what happened, and how long he was out cold.

"Oh? Then don't waste time, go sit above the chest of the dragon and cultivate. The effects would be great." Damien told her and stood up, ignoring the ache all over his body.

"..."

Juliette wanted to say something but kept quiet. She just silently, and obediently did as he suggested.

Meanwhile Damien walked towards the dragon's body. He tore off a large piece off its scales, and let blood gush out forming a small pool. He sat within the pool cross legged, and began medidating.

At the same time, he drank the "Veil of Dragon's Blood Essence" and also ate the "Dragon's Shard" as well, boosting his Physiology greatly.

Time went by, and Juliette cultivated her Mana, while Damien did the same thing over and over again, changing locations every minute, when the nutrients within the blood were gone.

Juliette realized that she was absorbing more Mana than usual. She believed it was the location she sat on. And also because of her new Epithet.

[ Dragon Slayer (GRAND) :- Beings who have gone out and slayed a dragon. Only lower existential beings than the dragon's, are capable of such titles when slaying a dragon. The weaker, the higher the chances. Has the effects of attracting hatred and interest from other dragons, and an increased 50% damage dealt to dragons, and a -5% damage recieved from dragons. Ability: Increases All Stats by 50%, and Mana absorption by 100% ]

This increased her Mana absorption greatly once more, making her absorb Mana 24 units every second. She would probably have over ten million Mana units after this.

After eight minutes, Damien stopped his actions and began ramsacking the dragon's corpse. From its horns, to its eyes, to its tongue, its claws, some important organs such as lungs and heart, and finally, all its scales.

Including its reverse scales. He collected everything into the Tier 1 Storage Ring, which had a ten cubic meter area. He also threw in everything they collected so far, their resources and their artifacts.

After that, both stood side by side and watched the incomplete dragon corpse as time clicked by. And soon enough, The Primordial Source appeared.

[ Congratulations!! You have finished all your Trials and the Hidden Trial ]

[ The exclusive reward for the Hidden Trial includes a self-customization function ]

[ Self-Customization Function: You have every right, to an absolute effect, to customize yourself like a digital character. You can distribute and redistribute Stat points, change minute features of yourself and many more ]

[ Would you like to use the function? ]

"..."

Damien was surprised, as such a function was new to him. Even throughout the past timeline, even those monsters like future Juliette could not freely do this with their authorities.

"...Big brother, this is?" Meanwhile Juliette inquired about this, and Damien told her about everything he knew about it. Nada. Complete Nada.

After a moment of silence, they ended up both agreeing. For the only reason being their were curiosity.

[ Self-Customization taking place ]

[ Please wait... Please wait... ]

[ TING!!! ]

Damien then found himself transported to a completely white zone. There was nothing around him either than himself, a holographic version of him, and a Template.

He then checked out the Template.

[ Name: Damien Gray ]

[ Mana: 14 567 units ]

[ Stats: STR - 0 || AGI - 0 || END - 0 || INT - 0 || WIS - 0 || AFF - 0 ]

[ Stat Points: 1,500 || Ability Points: 1 ]

[ 1 Stat Point = 0,1 Ability Point ]

[ 1 Stat Point = 10 Mana units ]

Damien saw everything, and he was impressed. This was also easy to understand. As for whether he needed to overthink this, it was unnecessary.

"Distribute my stats each with 100 points, and save the rest." He said, and easily waited for whether something else will take place or not.

These stats were the ones he obtained, boosted by the abilities he recieved, and further reinforced by the blood of a dragon, added altogether.

And the fact that he ate a "Dragon Shard" which was like a Dragon's Core, and drank its blood Essence, he was no different than a Dragonborne right now.

Yet was still just purely mortal.

Or so he thought.

And another reason Damien chose to equally distribute his stats was because they were still high nonetheless.

100 points on STR and END was strength worth 1000 tons of damage and defense. 100 points on AGI was worth over sonic speed. 100 points on INT and WIS was worth a kilomter range worth of magic damage and magic defense values.

As a First League Combatant, he had higher values to his index. More like double those of Civilians to be precise.

Then as for AFF, once again, that could be ignored. But 100 points at least meant greater resistance to elements and the likes.

As for whether he was now overpowered or not? He did not think so, when they were gods who had a very higher value to their index, and higher stats than all his combined.

And those were the weaker gods, whom weren't even battle ready fellows. Let alone the war gods and the other powerful gods that had powerful physical qualities.

Seeing his lack of response, The Primordial Source sent out yet another notification.

[ Would you like to modify your appearance? ]

"No." Damien sternly denied.

[ TING!!! ]

[ You have succeeded your trials and have been become one of the one hundred and one people to succeeded your Trials ]

[ You have a chance to choose amongst the following classes; ]

[ "Doom-bringer(Unique)"  "Chain Breaker(Unique)"  "Blessed One(Lesser Divine)"  "Deathless(Legendary)"  "Death God(Unique)"  "Immortal Presider(Greater Divine)"  "Cultivator(Hidden)"  "Spear Man(Ordinary)"... ]

"..."

Damien was flabbergasted at the long list of Classes, most being Ordinary Classes, but some having Unique, Legendary, Divine and even Hidden Classes!!

This was not there within the previous timeline, which proved that he was either within a different timeline altogether, or he triggered the ao called chaotic effect.

'But, how could going back through time enable such a thing? I don't understand.' He thought and scrolled down the list, looking for a class that would be suitable for him.

There were no Exclusive Classes so far, which he guessed they would be none, for such classes were not within the ranks of Classes to begin with.

And even then, the only reason they were pleasant and worth fighting for, was because they had potential to ascend all the way to becoming a Hidden Class.

Yet, there were Hidden Classes now. Why would he want to put himself at a disadvantage? Choosing a Unique Class did not mean you could reach very high.
