Chapter 97 - Boost

They stood in front of the door. They fairly knew that after walking inside they would be in newer place. The fact that they created ruckus in the present place was enough to warn them.

They were not clueless what was waiting at the other side of the door. "Before walking this path. Take a look what is written in the book of detection. It might give some pointer." Junan was ready to gesture Jake for opening the door.

However taking a look at the book of detection would not bring any pain. After all they were not sure whether they will fall in the newer place or the newer task.

Orin opened the one page book. "With the collapse of Altar there is no way to avoid Pool of Dead." This time the words were written with the red blood ink. "Heh this color choice meant danger I guess. Now I am noting down. The red ink indeed pointed the threat of the completion of the first task and confrontation of the second hellish task.

They could not avoid Pool of Dead because it was punishment for destroying the Altar. Now this was oddly odd. Without destroying Altar they could not complete first task and without completing first task they will remain stuck in the Sixth wing.

"This book of detection is confirmed bully in my eyes if not what else then?" Orin spoke disappointed. "It is giving limited yet divergent series of clues. It is up to the gamer with the 'Detective' profession to decode then it would not be bully anymore." Junan side glanced Orin and commented.

Orin got speechless. He did not speak further. "We are bound to destroy the Altar for completing the first task yet we might not be able to escape Pool of Dead. I don't know what is it but the words of the clue can be interpreted this way. If anyone else wanted to try out decoding then sure." Jake spoke out his opinion about the clue.

Albert critically compared the written words and thought for a while. He was somehow agreed at the opinion. Clark did not bother to think it twice and spoke, "This genius kid is right. I will follow his opinion even if the fate turn out different this time." His attitude was changing.

Clark felt he had been strange person with many flaws in his personality. Now he was ready to mend those flaws and become a changed person.

Jake was speechless at his words. He could not believe that Clark could show this side of his personality. It was quite nice. "It means after destroying Altar another task might open up. If not task then call it punishment from the king for destroying the Altar. In both cases this Pool of Dead is dangerous from the name, I wonder what will be the appearance of it?" Junan commented.

Jake got the gesture and used lock picking tool to open the door. This lock was different from the previous one. It took him a while. He bent a little to take a look. Jake was looking inside from the small lock hole resembling true thief. He was very focused as if the treasure inside belonged to him only.

Albert noticed his hard work and focused attention. He was quite impressed. After some effort he was able to break in. They entered the house. Ahram patted the kid on his shoulder. "You did a good job."

Jake nodded. Every unlocking gave him exclusive Exp and the system informed. Jake took it that doing the job related to his profession would give him exclusive Exp that was slightly more than the normal one.

He decided to become complete thief from now on. All professions give exclusive hp to the players which they could simply click on and take a look. Since it was concerned that the professions should be worked Jake thought to bet it along with the tasks.

Those who were slacking in learning their professions would face drawback at some point of levels. Orin and others were also thinking about it. They were stuck with these professions for five levels. It means their unwillingness could bring damage to them or the team members.

Be it Goffer, Shield man, or Detective. They could not avoid when the level tasks would demand them to show the achievement of their professions. They would face bigger damage for sure.

'Even if I beg to change the profession it would be after level five. Till then I have to use all options for the professions.' Orin thought in his head and searched interface.

There were some locked and unlocked operations. Orin clicked on the unlocked one. The natural instinct of the detective added in his abilities. He blinked feeling the changes. He told Albert about it.

Albert also checked. They were much invested in the task that they did not bother to search around the interface. Not even glanced notification of the games. It was not criminal negligence but the notion that game portal might not give them something workable for the tasks.

Albert also clicked and a small circle appeared on his shield. It added efficiency in the shield. Earlier it could only provide cover up but now it could protect from the level two dangers two.

Seeing them others also checked unlocked abilities. They could finally feel less burden about the Pool of Dead. Though they were heading toward the newer area however they were slightly worried for unseen.

The arrows got visible sharpness now these could pierce hard material too. Sashi was forced to use five to seven arrows to kill a retainer. It was due to lack of efficiency of the arrow.

Ahram noticed changes in the main weapon. The chains got stronger and flexible. This means the burden reduced yet the ability increased. The hammer got the renewed polishing. Clark waved the hammer in the air. He was satisfied.

These were perks for completing level one.. Each of their weapon got better boost in the efficiency.
