Chapter 8: Blessing of Truth

Chapter 8: Blessing of Truth



The advantages of the Stormweaver class were crystal clear under the Eye of Truth's guidance.

Once the orb was in his possession, blue lightning flickered and danced at Mike's fingertips, quickly spreading a tingling sensation throughout his body.

"Job change successful!"

Meanwhile, on Twitter Trends and Top Stories, six out of the top ten were about Thor!

Whether it was the Tower of Truth, the online world, or real life, Thor was the most mentioned word.

After the job change, a new attribute panel appeared before Mike:

ID: Thor

Talent: Eye of Truth (SSS-level)

Level: 10

Class: Stormweaver (Lightning)

HP: 3600/3600

MP: 1800/1800

Strength: 126 (+100)ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

Intelligence: 145

Spirit: 135

Agility: 124

Constitution: 131 (+100)

Luck: 11

Equipment: Novice Staff

Skills: Lightning Arrow, Blessing of Lightning, Charge Up, Thunderclap Strike

Status: Lightning Affinity, Lightning Specialization

Due to the job change, Mike's attributes had slightly increased, each by about 20 to 30 points. What baffled Mike the most was that, as a mage, his Strength and Constitution were higher than his Intelligence and Spirit!

What kind of mage was this? A melee invincible mage swinging a big red stick at anyone who came close?

Mike had to accept the reality.

After becoming a Stormweaver (Lightning), Mike gained a new skill [Thunderclap Strike] and a new status [Lightning Specialization].

"[Thunderclap Strike (Lv1)]: Summons a Thunderclap Strike from the sky, hitting the enemy and dealing (200+2*Intelligence) Lightning damage. When the enemy's health is below 30%, it deals true damage instead.

Each hit with Thunderclap Strike permanently increases the base Lightning damage of this skill by 5 points. Enemies hit by Thunderclap Strike are 100% slowed and randomly receive a negative buff.

Mana cost: 200 points

Cooldown: 2s

Mike's Intelligence attribute is 145, so 200+145*2=490.

With the 100% bonus from Lightning Specialization, a single Thunderclap Strike can deal 980 Lightning damage!

"No wonder it's an SSS-level hidden class!"

Mike made up his mind. Better sooner than later!

He pressed his thumb on the pass, and a golden glow filled his vision, enveloping him

completely.

A long string of numbers and letters flashed in his mind-his identifier in the Trade Secret

Realm Pass.

The next moment, the golden light faded, and Mike found himself tucked away in a corner of

a bustling market.

The street wasn't exactly spacious, packed with people shoulder to shoulder. Stalls lined both

sides, displaying all sorts of glittering treasures, while vendors shouted their wares, creating

a lively atmosphere.

"Secret news! Secret news! The Defense Headquarters has issued Order Number Twenty-Six,

calling all Battle Lords to report immediately!"

"Today's newsletter, get an inside look at Thor's journey to power!"

"Recruiting Battle Chiefs level warriors, must have at least an A-level talent. We're forming a

loyal followers' league for Thor!"

Mike was baffled. What's with all the Thor talk? Nine out of ten conversations in the Trade Secret Realm Pass seemed to revolve around him.

Before he could gather his thoughts, an enthusiastic voice rang out. "Bro, new face, huh? You

new here?"

Mike turned to see a green-skinned goblin standing beside him, striking up a conversation. Mike nodded and asked curiously, "How did you know I'm new?"

"I've never seen your identifier before, and I know everyone who frequents the Trade Secret

Realm Pass! Plus, you haven't morphed your appearance; that's typical newbie behavior."

Morphed appearance?

Mike turned and caught his reflection in a mirror, seeing himself as a gray cloud with occasional flashes of lightning.

"Here in the Trade Secret Realm Pass, everyone's identity is kept secret. Your voice,

appearance, fingerprints, even your soul's energy are all masked!" the goblin explained

enthusiastically.

"Just picture a form in your mind, and your appearance will change accordingly." Following the goblin's advice, Mike concentrated, and the cloud quickly swirled and condensed into a humanoid shape made of clouds.

"Forgot to introduce myself-I'm a trade broker at [Mystic Market], just call me Foreskin," the goblin said, handing Mike a business card with his Trade Secret Realm Pass identifier.

"Anything you need to buy or sell, you can come to us at [Mystic Market]. Newcomers get a

2% discount!"

Mystic Market.

Mike mentally noted the name and nodded at the goblin. "Thanks, I'm just looking around."

"No problem, you can message by identifier in the Trade Secret Realm Pass if you have any questions," Foreskin said, his service attitude impeccable. "But remember, some information comes with a price!"
