Chapter 465: The Mysterious Crystal Cracks Open!

-----

Vampy seemed to want to play around with the new member of our monster family, so I took him out of my Void World, as he flew over the floor and greeted Belze.

Belze is very small, so I made sure to tell Vampy to be careful.

The two began to chase each other, although Belze was quite fast, faster than her stat said.

I think that's because she is lighter than Vampy.

Although stats are taken into consideration, when someone is lighter than you, it is capable of being faster even with a lower Agility stat.

Although this might also be because Vampy is not going all out.

Vampy had grown a lot, he is pretty big, and his beautiful membrane wings are crimson red. His fluffy fur is also red, and he has a half-moon mark in the middle of his forehead. Enormous fangs and large crimson eyes too.

His legs have large claws that can easily tear apart steel, and he likes to hunt big prey now, but around here there isn't much of that… however, we occasionally teleport him to Wellerman where he hunts big monsters that appear in the desolate seas.

Although he didn't participate in the fight at all, he gained EXP for looking at it, I suppose any tamed monster that glances at a fight can get some EXP from it, but the fight granted us so much EXP that he ended ranking up from it.

"Draaa!"

Draconia jumps out of my void world too, as she begins to play around with Vampy, while Belze flies around frantically, I think the blood and bone marrow I gave her ended giving her a lot of calories and she has too much energy now…

Draconia begins to leap around, playing with Vampy while biting each other like young cubs.

"Draaa!"

"Gryar!"

I guess Draconia had become somewhat of a big sister for Vampy, and quite possibly for Belze, although Belze seems to be flying around frantically while making sounds with her big wings, which are quite ear-piercing.

Draconia participated in the battle, she killed a few of the God Spirits summoned by Lucas, and gained tons of EXP from them, ranking up.

Now that I think about it, we could have let Lucas live and make him create these spirits for EXP…

From the Rank 8 High Draconic Patchwork Zombie Princess Warrioress that she was before, she became a Rank 9 Nether Dragonoid Patchwork Zombie Empress.

Her look barely changed, but her greenish and red scales around her body all turned black, and her wings became particularly bigger, alongside her claws which now secrete a poisonous nether fluid.

Her breath attack which was ordinary fire is now a green-colored flame too, ad her eyes often gleam eerily.

However, she is still developing, and quite cute.

"Bbbbbzzzzz!"

Belze keeps flying around frantically, I check on her and she seems fine, she's simply trying to burn the energy she got… Maybe I won't give her as much food next time.

Vampy and Draconia are still playing around, so I ignore them and decide to change jobs…

Ding!

[The Level of your Job has increased to level 100!]

Hm, alright…

Though, now that I can ask you… can I take another Job to max out instantly, System?

The System swiftly answers my simple question.

"Sadly, your accumulated Job experience is not enough for the oldest Job available as of now, as you would be stuck midway through. I recommend you take into a newer Job as you seem to be planning on fighting soon against more strong enemies…"

The System enlightens me with the knowledge I was not able to discern before.

"I see, thanks."

However, I quickly discover that I was actually able to tell now if a Job would max out instantly through Wisdom.

Every Job appearing there has some accumulated EXP from certain actions, those who are overfilled with it would instantly max their level when I pick, while the others might level up only a little bit.

I see so that's how it is…

Well, I am taking the most intriguing Job right away anyways.

Ding!

[You changed Jobs to [Yggdrasil]!]

The moment I change Jobs, I feel like my mind goes numb.

Huh?

What is… going on now?

I am sent into a strange ad mysterious forest, which is rather beautiful.

There, I find that my body is incredibly stiff, I can't move an inch.

What is this place?

I try to look around or move, but I can't.

I am locked in a direction.

Uuh.

I see.

I am a small tree sprout.

Interesting…

Why?

…

I suppose this is part of becoming Yggdrasil? I guess it was quite literally turning myself into a tree?

Really?

Time seems to be different because it goes on very fast.

Night and day go by as if they came by the minute, and I slowly keep growing, expanding my branches and my roots around the place.

Soon enough, I reach above the trees, but I simply keep growing even bigger, this never ends.

My branches expand around the entire world, even touching the heavens and reaching outer space.

My vitality is overflowing, and I feel connected to the world more than I could ever imagine.

I suddenly open my eyes, I am still in my room.

Well, that was quite… an eye-opening experience.

Ugh, I feel way older all out of a sudden.

I glance at my hands, but I am still the same.

Thankfully.

However, within the inside of my soul, right where all the place was eaten by the Void of my Soul and converted into complete emptiness, the large, semi-transparent black-purple crystal that had begun to grow there started to crack.

It makes cracking wounds, as large chunks of it fall over the "floor" and then dissipate into nothingness.

I glance as I feel like something within me is being… born.

Suddenly, a small sprout emerges from the inside of the crystal.

This crystal formed when I took the Void World Skill, and I didn't even know what it really was… but now…

I think I kind of understand…

It was an egg, something that would bring forth a new lifeform, could it be said to be my child? Maybe I am father now?

The crystal quickly cracks more, as several branches emerge one by one, the color of the wood is of a pale blue, and it shines brightly with several starry lights.
