Chapter 29: S-Class Job Advancement Ceremony: Master of Stars

"What on earth is this??"

Sterl was momentarily stunned, feeling as though he was almost assimilated by the patterns on the pet egg!

If it hadn't been for... the divine talent he had just awakened, releasing waves within him and snapping him back to reality, he could have been in real trouble!

"Was I almost killed by a pet egg??" Sterl complained.

He didn't know what being assimilated would entail, but assuming the worst, it might mean losing himself, becoming a zombie, beyond even a god's ability to resurrect!

Had he just faced the biggest crisis of his gaming career?? And what's more bizarre, he didn't really feel it because it all happened too fast.

From falling into crisis to immediately being safe again.

However, Sterl quickly lost interest in pondering his safety, as an unexpected event occurred in the instance!

[Warning: A major transformation is happening in the Starfall Wilderness instance!]

[Warning: ...]

The system's prompt echoed!

At the same time, Sterl felt the ground shake, and the energy of the starry sky above churned continuously, turning into brilliant light that poured into the Star Egg in his hand.

This wasn't just the stars sharing their energy. It was as if the entire sky was being drained!

One by one, the stars in the sky dimmed.

Simultaneously, as the stars extinguished, it seemed as if the power sustaining the entire instance world was lost. Sterl felt the ground beneath him gradually loosen, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Suddenly, a prompt from the game system diverted Sterl's attention.

[Automatic Translation System activated.]

Then, Sterl saw countless texts on the Star Egg, as if coming to life, flooding into his mind.

[You have read the secret lore of the Star Clan.]

[You have gained the following information:

Now you can undergo a specific ceremony to change your job to the hidden job [Master of Stars].

Now you can create your own [Main Star] and [Auxiliary Stars] through a specific ceremony.]

"What?"

"What is... this??" Sterl felt his brain was stuffed with a ton of information, making his head spin!

Job advancement ceremony?

Main Star?

Auxiliary Stars?

What are these??

When fortune comes, even the heavens and earth align!

Moreover...

"Normally, people need to complete a bunch of quests to unlock the job advancement ceremony."

"I can skip the prerequisite quests directly, how cool is that!" Sterl muttered, taking another look at the requirements for the job advancement ceremony.

Wow! It's so simple!

No, it's not right to say it's simple. In fact, as an S-class job advancement task, the difficulty is daunting!

It's just that Sterl had already completed the two most difficult tasks: facing a boss and resisting the invasion of the stars' power.

Facing the boss naturally doesn't mean you can just get by in a boss fight. If Sterl looked into the details of the ceremony, he would see that it required dealing at least 5% damage to the boss's health.

For those who haven't changed class, this is an almost impossible requirement to meet!

Resisting the invasion of the stars' power, Sterl managed to cheat through with his divine talent, a level of power hardly attainable by ordinary people.

As a result, Sterl's job advancement ceremony was practically in the bag.

All that remained was to collect star fragments, master an advanced skill, and refine either a [Primary Star] or [Secondary Star] to become an S-class professional!

In terms of collecting star fragments, Sterl had already accumulated forty-nine from previous monster hunts. Even without actively farming for more, he could gather enough through normal monster encounters in instances.

Meeting the requirement for an advanced skill was also within reach.

Sterl's proficiency in Flame Storm was at [1901/2000], almost maxed out, and he could soon break through to advanced level by leveraging the power of blood.

Thus, for the aforementioned aspects of the ceremony, Sterl was just a step away.

The only task that required his effort was refining a [Primary Star] or [Secondary Star]. As for what these were exactly, Sterl was unclear and had to continue checking his panel for details.

"Holy shit! Is this job that awesome??" Sterl couldn't help but exclaim as he noticed two new special abilities on his panel.

[Special Ability: Refine Primary Star]

[Effect: Players with this ability can choose to refine the following units as their Primary Star: pets, players, monsters. After refining a Primary Star, the player can gain the following effects:

1 Acquire 10% of the Secondary Star unit's attributes, stamina, and energy limits.

3 Gain a weakened version of the Secondary Star unit's talent.]
