"Wain, judging by your aura, you've grown considerably stronger, though it hasn't been long since we last met. How did you manage it?"
"It's simple. I've told you before that we, the humans, are considered a long exiled race. Of course, we are not who they say we are, but our abilities with the exiles are the same since both they and we are of the same race. We can absorb souls quickly without having to purify them. I have recently realized how incredible and even dishonest this ability is."
"Hmm?"
"I mean that if you have enough souls, you can instantly increase your level to the maximum within the Chronicle. No other race is capable of that, only us."
"That makes sense. Many develop quite slowly because they spend a lot of time hunting, but maybe that's just from our point of view." Gisle reflected.
"Yeah, imagine if we had to purge our souls, spend time on it, and only get a fraction of the total energy."
"That would be a nightmare. We'd evolve slower than a turtle moves, but can't others use various resources and energy from the environment to accelerate?"
"They can, but that's nothing compared to a human who got hundreds of souls and upgraded several levels instantly."
"Hmm, I agree. Your development speed is amazing, but where did you find so many souls?"
"Arenas. If you have a Void, you can fight in arenas. All you need is a World of Darkness card, and many doors will open in front of you. The arenas come in varying degrees of difficulty, but if you're strong enough, you can easily collect about a thousand souls in an hour."
"Wain, not everyone is as strong as you. Killing a thousand monsters in an hour is no easy task." Gisle muttered.
"That's not necessary. You just have to kill one, and all his souls will be yours. In some cases, only one victory will be enough to gain several thousand souls."
"In that case, it's time for us to tell the others about the World of Darkness and explain everything to them in detail. Ah, I wanted to get my Void, but I haven't had time for it at all in the last few days." Gisle said with annoyance.
"You should get on with it. Tell it to Zero, Agnes, Luar, Grut, Agnes, and the others. With your help, they will get the energy of darkness, pass the test, and get the Seal of Darkness. Then they will capture some Voids and pass the energy on to the others and so on around the circle."
"It can be dangerous. I was able to pass the test, but I could have died."
"It doesn't matter. Some won't want to participate, but there's nothing to stop others once they realize its possibilities. Sacrifices are inevitable, but this way, humanity will become much stronger, and very quickly."
"You're pretty bloodthirsty." Gisle smiled.
"No, it's just the best option. Unlike Vineta and me, you were given the choice of which trial to take. It will be even easier for the others since you will share your experience with them." Wain said seriously.
"Okay, I hear you. You don't feel sorry for me at all. I have a lot of work to do as it is. Eh...after the apocalypse, it's really gotten hard to live."
"Just hire a manager and put some work on him." Wain put out his cigarette and headed for the exit. "Goodbye."
...
Wain climbed to the highest point of the organization's base and looked around. His cloak fluttered in the wind, and he opened the menu.
'It's time to find out what obstacles I have to overcome this time.'
[To conduct the third evolution, you must have fulfilled the following conditions -
[Create and master Martial Essence: 1/1
[Purity of Blood must be 90%: 0/1
[Majesty must equal 5: 0/1]
'Forgotten was right. Martial Essence is a necessary element for any creature to become stronger, but the other conditions look even more difficult than the previous ones...'
Wain knew how hard it was to raise blood purity, especially to such a high value. Wain decided that he would take up the development of alchemy and help Eden and Lui Bu even more actively. They might not be able to create the necessary amount of potions, but Wain believed that these two would make something incredible one day.
He could try to buy the necessary potions at auctions in the future, but it would be very expensive, and Wain was sure that he would again have to raise his blood purity in the future.
'Hmm, maybe to do a fourth evolution, my blood purity would be 95% or even 99%. That would be a real challenge. How do I increase a Majesty?
When he defeated his first opponent with Legendary Soul, Wain accidentally discovered this new stat. Wain was able to get a second stat when he revived a Forgotten, but after that, the development of this stat stopped.
'Do I actually have to kill three Legends? That sounds problematic, but maybe I can find such opponents in the Rank-S arena. Okay, I'll deal with that later. The important thing is that now I have a goal.' Wain thought and jumped down.
He was about to go on his journey, but Wain wanted to meet someone before that. This one was sitting by the fire drinking hot tea with a thoughtful look.
Wain came up behind and put his hands on Eva's shoulders.
The girl was surprised, turned around, and smiled contentedly.
"Wain!"
"Hi, cutie." Wain said and took Eva by the chin and kissed her.
Wain let her go and asked, "Are you resting?"
"Yes, when Gisle went to war against the endless stacks of papers, I finally had time to rest. You should have seen how happy Maria was when she could just sleep for a few hours."
"Hahaha, I was just at Gisle's. He's actually pretty tired. I never thought paperwork would be so excruciating."
"Serves him right!"
"Okay, don't be mad at Gisle. He does it all for the people."
"I know..." Eva nodded weakly.
Wain smiled, and the Ring of Damned glowed.
