Chapter 641 Final Ranker Quest



< Second Ranker Quest >

< A Will Of Eternal >

– Marry a doll-like Dwarf beauty who is also the Guildmaster of a Gold-Ranked Guild.

– Although the White Lotus is beautiful to see, it still takes root upon the filth of Eternity. Past and Present Karma intertwine, thus is the makings of the Divine.

– Although her expression doesn't seem to change, and many think that her heart is calm and still like a lake. Deep inside she yearns for the one. A person she will love more than anyone.

– For you to win her hand in marriage, convince her family and show them your courage. For the Dwarves are always steady as stone. Go all in, or just go home.

(Note from a certain adorable little Dwarf.)

– Big Brother, please marry my sister, okay? That way, you will be part of our family!

The corner of Lux's lips twitched after seeing the message. He didn't need to be a genius to know who the Trial was referring to.

The note at the bottom of the message was another giveaway, which reminded Lux of Collete, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"The first is pregnancy, now marriage," Lux muttered while rubbing his face with both of his hands. "Just who made up these trials anyway?"

The image of the doll-like beauty, who reminded Lux of his favorite Idol back on Earth, resurfaced in his mind. One of his greatest regrets in his past life was not being able to go to her concert because he died a few days before his Idol's performance.

Truth be told, it was not hard for him to develop a crush on Aina, who was also Colette's sister because of her uncanny resemblance to the person he idolized. Because of this, he was very tempted to accept the quest, but he stayed his hand and clicked to see the next option.

< Third Ranker Quest >

< Misfortune's Beloved >

– In this world, there are two polar opposites. One is the luckiest girl in the world, and the other is the unluckiest girl in the world.

– Right now, the unluckiest girl in the world is imprisoned at the center of Elysium. She cries deep under the ground, near its core, all alone in the darkness.

– Although many have wanted to help her, they have refused to do so. Those who tried in the past proved that any who touched, or tried to free her from her imprisonment, would be tainted by bad luck, which would follow them until the day they died.

– Dozens have already tried, and all of them regretted their decision. They wished to save her in the past, but now they curse her for even being alive. For as long as she lives, their curse remains, and since then, no one has dared to touch Misfortune's Beloved.

Note: When you start having Bad Luck, there isn't an end to it.

"..."

Lux felt complicated after reading the third quest. Although he wasn't sure, he had a feeling that the Unluckiest Girl in the world could be found in the Kingdom of Agartha, which was said to be located near the core of the world.

He currently had the key to go to such a place, and he also wished to save the unluckiest girl in the world. However, he didn't know if he had a way to counter being tainted with bad luck, and right now, he needs all the luck he could get.

"If there comes a time when I can find a way to save you, Trial or no Trial, I will come to find you," Lux said softly as he remembered the details of the quest.

Just thinking of a girl all alone in the darkness was enough to make him wish he could break her prison, and bring her to the surface world.

The Half-Elf gritted his teeth as he checked the next option, hoping that it would be something that he was capable of doing.

< Final Ranker Quest >

< A True Necromancer >

– Currently, you are not able to utilize the full power of a Necromancer, because you don't fully understand what being a Necromancer is.

– You lack the ruthlessness, and the decisiveness needed to command a Legion of the Undead that would be feared far and wide, across all kingdoms, and empires in the world.

– What better way on how to learn to become a Necromancer than find a True Necromancer as your Master?

– If you are able to find your true calling, you will be able to unlock the Transcendent Necromancer Skills that will make your Unholy Army a true force to reckon with!

– So go and find a True Necromancer, who will teach you the ways of the Undead. Once you're done, it will be your enemies time to dread.

Note: When the world turns its back on you, laugh at it with all of your heart. For there is but a thin line between morality and depravity, and a happy ending can only be gained, by facing the world, and slapping it with a Legion of the Undying.

—-----------

Lux took a deep breath after reading the final trial to becoming a Ranker.

For some reason, the words of the trial resonated in his heart. His understanding of being a Necromancer was only to summon and raise the dead.

That was what he had been doing till now, and he thought that it was everything a Necromancer needed to do. But, according to the Trial, he still didn't fully understand what being a Necromancer was.

However, there was one problem.

"Just where can I find a Necromancer to teach me how to be one?" Lux muttered.

A moment later, an image of a black-robed man, commanding the Calamity Beast appeared in his mind.

It was the same person who obliterated an entire city, just because he could, and no one, not even a Saint, would be able to stop him alone.

This memory had a great impact to him because that was the first time he saw a Monster of that Rank. An Apex Creature that could move unhindered across the land, making all that stood on its way run away in fear for their lives.

"No." Lux clenched his fists after remembering that scene. "I don't want to be that kind of Necromancer."

On that day, many innocent people died. If he were to become someone as ruthless as that then he would rather not find a Necromancer to be his Master.

Suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears, which made Lux almost jump in fright.

"Master, I think you have a terrible understanding of what Necromancers are."

Asmodeus, who had appeared beside the Half-Elf without his orders, said with a smile.

"Y-You almost gave me a heart attack!" Lux patted his chest in order to calm his heart. "Don't do that again, Asmodeus. I thought that my heart was going to jump out of my throat."

"Apologies, Master," Asmodeus bowed apologetically at Lux for giving him a fright. "But, I just couldn't stay silent knowing that you may have developed a prejudice against Necromancers. You see, not all Necromancers are the same. There are people like Master who still understands what is right, and what is easy.

"I strongly advise you to choose this trial because it might allow you to surpass your current understanding of your Profession. Also, the Transcendent Necromancer Skills sound interesting. If possible, I want you to obtain them, so I can use them as well."

Lux sighed deeply after hearing Asmodeus' explanation. Truth be told, he was also very interested in knowing what the Transcendent Necromancer Skills were, but after recalling what happened in Wolfpine Barony, he felt disgusted at the black-robed person's total disregard of life.

"Just take this Trial, Master," Asmodeus urged. "Even if we find a Necromancer, but if you don't like them, we can always find another. We will not lose anything."

Lux thought that the Archlich's words were true. If by chance, he happened to come across a Necromancer, it would not automatically make them the Half-Elf's Master.

He had the right to choose whom to acknowledge as his Master, like he did with Randolph.

"Very well." Lux nodded. "We'll give this one a try."

Lux then chose the Final Trial, and the other Options disappeared.

Now that he had chosen his Ranker Quest, he just had to hope that he would stumble upon a decent Necromancer, who didn't treat the lives of people like grass that could be cut at any given time.
