Chapter 285: Novel Update



"I..."

Emir didn't know what to say or think; he was utterly speechless.

The being watching over their planet, their entire solar system, took note of him and even involved the Oracle in deciding his Title. Alternatively, perhaps the Oracle 'Itself' took note of him and informed System One of his Title.

Whether that was a good or bad thing, he couldn't fathom. All he knew was that it showed

how he only glimpsed at the rules of the games he was in, not understanding what its players were after.

But at the end of it, a familiar thought resurfaced in his mind.

'...Nothing... nothing changes.'

He chuckled, shaking his head for a second or two before muttering:

"Right, this changes nothing."

Those words that escaped his mouth, he truly wanted to believe them.

It was a sentiment he had repeated countless times in his life, and one that he would likely repeat many times more.

Emir had always forced himself to ignore all that which he could not reach or even fathom. It was an action he needed to take if he wished to continue surviving, and he knew that because otherwise his mind would have broken long ago.

"It doesn't."

And Lyra agreed, backing him up like always, wanting to alleviate his discomfort.

{Rewards Sent!}

But then a sudden message took hold of his attention, serving as a well-timed distraction from his once-jumbled thoughts.

{Receive Rewards?}

{Yes/No}

{Note: When receiving rewards, the user would be automatically put to sleep.}

Emir looked behind him, and his eyes landed on Lyra's, for she too received that message. She nodded, and he smiled.

Without any words shared between the two, he stood up from the training room's ground and approached the laid-back chair connected to a Neuro-cybernetic interface.

It appeared similar to the ones they had in the classrooms on the third and fourth floors of the Tower.

Just as he relaxed his body on the chair, Lyra fixed multiple wires that ended in soft patches on his neck and face.

Once that was done, his face joined his body in relaxation as his neural network sent a 'Yes' signal.

"See you in a bit."

The world-his world-turned dark as those words left his mouth.

"Good night..."

He had accepted the rewards...

"...my prince."

And his mind went to sleep.

Two new ways of ranking up... Embodiment Method Revealed.

{To harness this Method, Celestials are required to embody (act) the characteristics and

qualities they associate with their chosen specialization. This practice is rooted in the idea

that the subconscious mind comprehends the nature of Aether more profoundly, akin to the

roots of a tree tracing back to the mother tree.}

{This, in turn, facilitates a smoother and more efficient process for enhancing their abilities,

aspects, arts, and skills.}

Aether Core Absorption Revealed.

{By consuming Aether cores imbued with a kindred Celestial Essence, Celestials can reap

various benefits. This practice enhances their connection to Aether, augments their Aether

reserves, and

expedites bodily mutation.}

{However, the mental imprints (Celestial Essence) of the previous owner's Aether core could

be very powerful. If the mental ability of the advancing Celestial is unable to handle the

mental imprints of the previous owner then it can increase the difficulty of the advancement

and vice

versa.}

{At the higher ranks, the 'godhood' inside the Aether core starts becoming a serious problem.

This issue cannot be solved by Embodiment (assimilation with the previous owner's mental

imprint) instead, the Celestial will need to have an appropriate Holy Relic to anchor their

mind to fight against the 'godhood' of the previous owner and reach an intricate balance.}
