Chapter 408 The System



"He began to spread that kind of thing two weeks ago, but we haven't seen the results yet. Do you think it is possible?" Henri asked.

"Most likely, yes, he has the knowledge of other eras; I also obtained the knowledge of how some people make themselves stronger unnaturally," Aion explained. "It has several drawbacks, though."

Forced mutations, contrary to the natural process of evolution, pose significant risks and dangers to living organisms. Evolution is a gradual and intricate process that occurs over extended periods of time, allowing organisms to adapt to their changing environments and optimize their chances of survival. However, forced mutations attempt to accelerate this process, artificially introducing genetic changes in a short span of time, which can have detrimental consequences.

One of the key concerns with forced mutations is that they bypass the intricate checks and balances of natural selection. Evolutionary changes are the result of countless generations of trial and error, where only the fittest individuals pass on their genes to the next generation.

This ensures that the genetic traits best suited to the environment are preserved and propagated. By artificially inducing mutations, this natural process is disrupted, potentially leading to undesirable genetic variations that may not confer any evolutionary advantage or could even be detrimental to the organism's well-being.

Another significant risk of forced mutations is the lack of precision and control over the outcome. Natural evolution operates within a complex web of interconnected genetic systems, where changes in one gene can have cascading effects on multiple traits and functions.

When mutations are forcibly induced, there is a high likelihood of unintended consequences and unforeseen side effects. These unintended changes can disrupt the delicate balance within an organism's genetic makeup, resulting in structural or functional abnormalities that compromise its health and viability.

That gave Aion the idea of creating a dimension similar to Tenebres Castle, one where he could control time. Unfortunately, his knowledge about time magic was limited, and he didn't know much about space magic either.

"I guess I need something like that to train and become fast enough to deal with all those guys… I hate to admit it, but they know too much about me," Aion thought. "A direct confrontation is a bad idea."

As the darkness of the night gradually yielded to the gentle glow on the horizon, the first rays of the sun began to pierce through the canopy of trees, casting a warm golden hue upon the grove where the group had set up their camp. The air was crisp and filled with the rejuvenating scents of nature, signaling the start of a new day.

Nestled within the tranquil grove, the group had chosen their camping spot wisely, seeking refuge beneath the protective embrace of ancient trees. The grove offered a sense of seclusion and shelter, shielding them from prying eyes and providing a serene haven amidst the chaos that surrounded them.

With utmost care, they had arranged their campsite to blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. A small fire crackled in the center, emanating a gentle warmth that defied the cool morning air. Its flickering flames danced in rhythm with the soft whispers of the wind, creating a peaceful ambiance.

Although he made a lot of progress since those beasts were strong and they were pretty much everywhere. It wasn't enough… once they find that Aion returned, they will try to lure him into rescuing everyone, and they will create a situation completely in their favor…

Aion tried to check the dream again, but it wasn't possible. Those memories weren't his, to begin with… Still, he got some classes while he was there, classes that didn't only belong to Malon and Cailena.

"What are my classes?" Aion thought.

After thinking for a while about the things they could do, Aion reached some conclusions. Aion's classes represent his understanding and mastery of different disciplines and forms of combat. They are not merely superficial titles but rather reflections of the knowledge and abilities that his soul has absorbed and assimilated over time.

As Aion delves into various classes, he undergoes a rigorous process of studying and comprehending the underlying principles, techniques, and magic associated with each style. This deep understanding allows him to tap into the true potential of these classes and harness their powers to their fullest extent.

When Aion uses a new class, his soul becomes a receptacle for the accumulated knowledge of that discipline. It is as if his essence becomes infused with the essence of the class itself. Through this absorption, Aion gains access to the unique techniques, skills, and magical abilities associated with that class.

"I guess this seems accurate enough…" Aion thought. "I just need to check the theory."

The problem was how Aion could check the theory. He needed the basic knowledge and the potential of a fighting style and some skills that he could improve… Still, he already had plenty of classes and fighting styles.

Paladin, Samurai, Archer, Spearman, Mage, Berserker, Monk, Warrior, Tamer, Ninja, Bard, Priest, Slayer, Necromancer, Guardian, Sniper, Lancer, Demonic Berserker, Undying Lord, High Priest, Chaotic Samurai, Ekementalist, Earth Bender, Sorcerer, Bloody Undead, Champion, Spartan, Magic Instrumentalist, Beast Tamer, Assassin, spirit tamer, Timeless Swordsman, Timeless Archer, Healer King, Spiritualist, Sorcerer King… is there other things that he knew and could understand that could become classes?
