Chapter 7
A series of messages appeared before Zeke's eyes.
[The 'Blessing of the Elder Dragon' engraved on the user's soul is activated in conjunction with the terminal.]
[The bloodline talent 'Warrior's Blood' awakens.]
[The awakened talents combine.]
[A new class has been formed through the rare combination of talents.]
[Awakening the talent of the Unique Class 'Immortal'.]
Woooong!
The red light of the Sword God Statue suddenly turned gold, and at the same time, Zeke's body was enveloped in a golden light.
And then, messages quickly appeared before Zeke's eyes.
[Class skill 'Healing' transforms into passive skill 'Healing Factor'.]
[Class skill ‘Composed Mind' transforms into passive skill 'Unyielding Mental Defense'.]
[Class skill 'Health Regeneration' transforms into passive skill 'Infinite Stamina'.]
[Class skill 'Heightened Senses' transforms into passive skill 'Combat Senses'.]
Zeke read the messages that were popping up incessantly.
'My class and skills have changed?'
[Due to the bloodline talent, you have become 'Magic Repellent'.]
[The 'Magic Repellent' trait is enhanced by a skill due to the class characteristic.]
[The enhanced trait transforms into the skill 'Mana Reflection (A-rank)'.]
[Unique Class Special Skill 'Area of Effect Buff (A-rank)' granted.]
[100 Karma Points granted as a Unique Class Special Reward.]
Zeke was startled.
'Trait enhancement? Unique Class Special Skill? What is all this?'
As Zeke read the messages, the golden light subsided, and the observers were thrown into confusion.
"G-golden light?"
"What in the world happened?"
"I-is this... really a pure-blooded awakening?"
The entire hall was in an uproar.
Everyone was speechless at the Sword God Statue's reaction, which was completely different from the usual Draker awakening.
It was then.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Abel Draker, who had been watching the ceremony from behind, clapped his hands.
Then he shouted,
"What are you doing! Quickly bring the gloves for our youngest!"
Gloves that blocked Mana Interference ability symbolized a pure-blooded awakened.
Abel Draker, a direct descendant and a pure-blooded awakened, had acknowledged Zeke as a pure-blooded awakened as well.
Hearing Abel's words, Pan was silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"Bring the gloves."
The servants hurriedly brought Zeke a pair of gloves.
Rough leather gloves with no pattern.
A proper pair of gloves would be made for him when he entered the academy.
Zeke slowly picked up the temporary gloves and put them on.
He felt the weight of the heavy gloves.
As Zeke was about to return to his place, Abel approached him.
"Congratulations on your pure-blooded awakening, little brother."
Abel extended his hand to Zeke.
Zeke looked at Abel's outstretched hand and recalled what had happened in his past life.
Abel Draker, the Knight of Slaughter.
The war he ignited eventually came back around and completely changed Zeke's life.
Because of it, Zeke lost the person most precious to him.
Zeke unconsciously clenched his fist as he looked at Abel's outstretched hand.
"This is rather awkward."
Abel lowered his hand and looked down at Zeke.
Zeke sensed a calm madness hidden in Abel's eyes.
Abel smiled at Zeke.
"Let's meet again."
He turned around and left the hall.
Zeke watched Abel's retreating figure and clenched his fist.
'Abel, I don't know what you're up to, but I won't go down easily.'
* * *
After the Blessing Ceremony, a grand party was held for the trainees who had completed the Cradle.
All the trainees in this batch had received the blessing of aura, and two had even achieved a pure-blooded awakening.
Everyone who attended the Blessing Ceremony talked about Reina and Zeke's awakening.
In particular, Zeke's golden light was an unprecedented phenomenon, so everyone was very interested.
But Zeke, who was practically the main character of the party, wasn't there.
He had slipped away to his room as soon as the party started.
"Whew..."
Zeke entered his room and threw off the stuffy ceremonial robe.
Perhaps because it was a room for a pure-blooded awakened, it was decorated with luxurious furniture.
It was a place that Zeke in his past life couldn't have even imagined.
'It's good to be a pure-blooded awakened.'
Zeke took off the gloves he was wearing.
And he held his hand up to the magic lamp.
But even when he waved his hand, there was nothing unusual about the magic lamp.
'That's strange.'
All pure-blooded Drakers had the 'Mana Interference' ability.
An ability that proved they were the natural enemies of dragons, the creatures of mana.
Because of this ability, pure-blooded Drakers couldn't live a normal life without gloves.
But even though Zeke was recognized as a pure-blooded awakened, this Mana Interference ability wasn't activated.
"Status window open."
[Low-rank Administrator Status Window]
Name: Zeke Draker
Class: Immortal (Unique)
Title: Blessed by the Ancient Dragon
Passive Skills: Healing Factor / Unyielding Mental Defense / Infinite Stamina / Combat Senses
Active Skills: Precise Stab [E-rank (Expert)] / Continuous Slash [D-rank (Beginner)] / Critical Strike [D-rank (Expert)] / Quick Step [D-rank (Expert)] / Mana Reflection [A-rank (Beginner)] / Area of Effect Buff [A-rank (Beginner)]
Draconian Skills: (Unavailable - 10 Karma Points required to unlock)
Karma Points Held: 100
The contents of the status window were completely different from before.
"Immortal. Unique."
Before the Blessing Ceremony, Zeke's class was Healer, and his grade was Rare.
Zeke had a hunch.
'The terminal said that the identification information needed for class appraisal was lost, and the system forcibly entered it.'
This meant that the Sword God Statue had limitations in identifying classes.
Zeke compared his reaction to that of the other awakened ones and realized the true nature of the Blessing Ceremony.
"Damn it. Of course it wouldn't react to the Healer class, since it's a tool that can only identify Warrior classes."
Zeke gritted his teeth, remembering the hardships he had endured in his past life.
The Sword God Statue used in the Blessing Ceremony was an ancient artifact that had been used since the generations before Terakan, the founder of the clan.
Its origins and functions were not properly known.
Only the formula that blue light meant normal awakening and red light meant pure-blooded awakening had been passed down.
If the Sword God Statue in his past life had been able to identify the Healer's awakening, it would have definitely emitted a red light in response to the Rare grade.
Zeke recalled that his light had changed from red to golden during the Blessing Ceremony.
"It seems that the golden light appeared because I changed from a Rare class Healer to a Unique class Immortal."
Zeke checked the new skills he had acquired.
"The skills I received as Unique Class privileges are A-rank. That means they must be quite effective."
Zeke first looked at the descriptions of the 'Mana Reflection' and 'Area of Effect Buff' skills.
—Mana Reflection: Creates a distortion field that nullifies surrounding mana.
—Area of Effect Buff: Allows the caster to transfer their skills to multiple targets within range.
"Magic nullification and wide-range skill transfer?"
With his abundant combat experience, Zeke could think of dozens of strategies to use these two skills to outwit his enemies.
He wore a satisfied expression.
"If I use them here, the magic lamps will all explode, so I'll have to test their effects quietly later. And let's see, I received 100 Karma Points as a privilege."
He had 100 points received as a privilege for awakening to a Unique Class.
Zeke looked at the Draconian Skill category, which was marked as unavailable, and selected it.
[Do you want to use points to unlock Draconian Skills?]
'What should I do?'
He thought about it for a moment, but since there was nowhere else to use the Karma Points, he chose to use them.
Ding!
[Draconian Skills unlocked. You can now view the skill list.]
Zeke checked the Dragon Skill status window.
—Draconian Skills Level 1—
Dragon Eyes (Locked - 20 points) / Dragon's Majesty (Locked - 30 points) / Gluttony (Locked - 50 points)
(50 Karma Points required to unlock Level 2 skills)
"What's this?"
He had high expectations for the Draconian Skills, but something was strange.
'Is it because they're Level 1 skills?'
Zeke pressed the skill descriptions.
—Draconian Skills Level 1 Information—
Dragon Eyes: Allows you to see more clearly and examine the opponent's information in detail. (20 points required to unlock)
Dragon's Majesty: Allows you to subdue enemies with your overwhelming presence. (30 points required to unlock)
Gluttony: Allows you to eat and digest a lot. (50 points required to unlock)
"Hmm...?"
It seemed that all three skills required more points to be unlocked and used.
'But what's that last skill?'
He could somewhat understand Dragon Eyes and Dragon's Majesty, but Gluttony was completely incomprehensible.
"Why does eating and digesting a lot require more points to unlock than other skills?"
It seemed like he wouldn't know exactly what kind of abilities they had until he tried using them.
Zeke contemplated as he looked at the three skills.
Having already spent 10 points to view the Draconian Skills, he had 90 points left.
'First, I'll unlock Dragon Eyes... and then it's between Majesty and Gluttony.'
He couldn't unlock all three because he was 10 points short.
Even if he unlocked only Dragon Eyes and spent 50 points to view Level 2 skills, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to learn them without more points.
After some thought, Zeke chose Majesty over Gluttony.
"I can unlock Gluttony... after I catch some monsters."
Zeke opened the Dragon Eyes and Dragon's Majesty skill windows and pressed unlock.
[Do you want to unlock the Dragon Skill, Dragon Eyes?]
[Do you want to unlock the Dragon Skill, Dragon's Majesty?]
'Yes, unlock both.'
The screen changed instantly.
Draconian Skills (Level 1 unlocked): Dragon Eyes (Beginner) / Dragon's Majesty (Beginner)
Karma Points Held: 40
Dragon Eyes and Dragon's Majesty appeared in the Draconian Skills section.
Zeke looked at the two skills and pondered.
"But... how do I test these?"
Unsure, Zeke activated Dragon Eyes.
[Dragon Eyes activated.]
Zeke's vision changed instantly.
'Huh?'
It was a completely different feeling from what he normally saw.
He turned his head to look at a dark area, and the previously invisible area turned green, allowing him to distinguish the shapes of objects.
"Wow, what is this?"
It was an ability that allowed him to see beyond the range of human vision.
Just then, Zeke noticed something.
[Do you want to check the detected object information?]
'What's object information? Let's see.'
[Chair made during the Lubern dynasty]
[Decorative candlestick made in the Sicron region]
[Olive wood desk made in the Misok region]
As he looked at the objects in the room, information about them was automatically displayed.
"Oh my god. How is this possible?"
Just then, his vision returned to normal, as if the Dragon Eyes' duration had ended.
Zeke felt a sudden wave of fatigue.
"Hmm... the cost is high because the performance is good."
Considering the fatigue, there was a limit to how many times he could use it per day.
"Let's see, next is Dragon's Majesty."
Zeke endured the dizziness and activated Dragon's Majesty.
[Dragon's Majesty activated.]
Wooong!
A faint wave emanated from Zeke's body and spread in all directions.
"Is this Dragon's Majesty?"
Zeke stood in his room and examined the range of the wave.
The effective range was about 3 meters, and it was difficult to measure the full extent of the faintly spreading wave beyond the room.
The skill deactivated as if the wave had spread to its limit.
"Does this wave create a sense of intimidation?"
The problem was that there were no enemies, so he couldn't tell the skill's effect.
It was then.
Bursting open!
Decker rushed into Zeke's room with a hardened expression.
He was holding a small dagger in his hand.
"D-Decker? What's going on?"
Decker shouted as he shielded Zeke,
"Young master, get down! There's an intruder!"
Zeke was startled by Decker's reaction.
Decker raised his senses, trying to find traces of the energy he had just felt.
But he couldn't sense any energy anywhere.
'What's going on? I definitely felt a terrifying presence from this direction.'
Through Decker's reaction, Zeke could indirectly experience the power of Dragon's Majesty.
'If Decker, a Blue Knight, reacts like this... I can probably subdue most small fries with this.'
Decker, unable to find any trace of the intruder, eventually said he would strengthen the surrounding security and left the room.
Zeke broke out in a cold sweat after Decker left.
"Whew, I can't use this skill carelessly."
He felt a wave of fatigue after using Dragon's Majesty as well.
"At this rate, I can't use the skills many times."
No matter how powerful the skills were, if the number of times he could use them was limited, it was no different from a picture of a cake.
But just then, letters appeared before his eyes again.
