Leon suddenly felt something surging through his body. His muscles tightened, his bones began to crack and shift, his breathing became deeper, and his senses sharpened to an entirely new level.
Instantly, Leon felt himself becoming stronger. His muscle mass is increasing, his height is getting taller, and his senses are heightened. He clenched his fist, feeling the exponential energy coursing through his veins. He could see the owl sitting on the tree branch clearly; the pages fluttering in the gentle night wind entered his ears crystal clear, and the smell of the bug burned from the lamp impacted his nose.
’This... this is so magical.’ Leon felt like he had become one of those superheroes from the earth. But he didn’t become arrogant, as there were much stronger people in this world. He had to stay low before he could roam in fanfare.
’System, give me the talents now.’ After Leon was done experiencing the newly found strength, he focused on the two talents.
[Talent: Immeasurable Charm has been activated.]
’Huh? Why don’t I feel anything?’ Leon didn’t have much time to ponder as the second talent came in.
[Talent: Elemental Mastery has been activated.]
Suddenly, Leon could feel and see elemental particles floating in the air. The wooden shelves and the books were surrounded by the life elements, filling the library with its splendor. From the lamp, fire elements danced like tribal people in a corner of a deep island.
The world changed before Leon’s eyes, making him stare in awe. ’I didn’t know the world looked so beautiful.’
He felt he could command these elements and let him do anything he wanted. However, now was not the place and time. It was deep in the night, and he was inside a library. He has to test it tomorrow.
’But where should I sleep?’ Leon pondered. He doesn’t have any place to stay and no money to stay in a hotel or tavern.
In the end, he decided to spend the night in the library.
He sat down. Leaning against the chair, he once again looked at the information page, which has few changes now, and properly saw what those talents were.
[Host, check your information page.]
[Host: Leon Ashborne
Rank: Apprentice (50/500 EXP)
Talent: Immeasurable Charm, Elemental Mastery.
Skills: None
Items: None
Wives: 0/1 (Complete to unlock progression tree)
Flings: 0/3 (Completion rewards a big loot box)]
The first thing that caught Leon’s eyes was his rank, not his talents. He went from Mortal to Apprentice, and to reach the next rank, the experience requirement also increased. Curious, he asked the system, hoping to know what the ranks in this world were, as it was not mentioned in the books.
[Host, for better understanding, please explore the ranks yourself. But here is a simple list of all ranks from bottom to top.
[Mortal→Apprentice→Adept→Expert→Master→Grandmaster→Saint→Sovereign→Emperor→Divine→Transcendent]
[I can only show you this amount. When the host reaches the end of this world, the later ranks will be revealed.]
’Looks like it’s a high fantasy. It was filled with all kinds of rank.’ Sighing to himself, Leon finally focused on his talents.
[Immeasurable Charm: Your gesture and speech have great attraction toward women. They can never have hostile thoughts toward you. To some, you are God.]
A wide grin appeared on Leon’s face. His chance of scoring against MILFs has increased, and for the rest of the group? They are left for amateurs.
Then he clicked on the second talent.
[Elemental Mastery: You can easily master any type of element. Controlling elements is as easy as drinking water for you. You can also create your own elemental skills as you like.
’Hmm, just as I expected. Now I have to create my skills because I am too poor to learn any pre-existing skills. It will be for tomorrow. Ahhh~ so many things to do.’ Leon rubbed his head, thinking of all the tasks he had to complete in a few days.
’Well, let’s forget it for now. Let’s get some goodnight sleep first.’ As the drowsiness kicked in, Leon concluded he should stop worrying and get some rest.
So, closing his eyes, he instantly fell asleep, as it was a long day for him.
...
Early in the morning.
The sun peeked through the horizon, its light entering through the window and resting on Leon’s drooling face.
Leon’s eyelashes flickered as his vision brightened from the sunlight.
Covering his eyes with his arm, he woke up. Rubbing his drool and eyes, he cursed at the sun subconsciously. "Can’t you see people are sleeping?"
Unfortunately, he made the mistake of shouting inside the library, catching the librarian’s attention.
Wearing a monocle, he instantly appeared beside Leon. The librarian grabbed his collar, picking him like a child. Then flashing before the door, he threw him like trash.
Leon became fully awake, eating the dirt and pebbles from the road. He stood up and rubbed his head, wincing in pain. "You don’t have to be this harsh."
Gralllll...
At that moment, Leon’s stomach growled. He clutched his stomach, finally remembering he hadn’t eaten a single thing except for the treat that Pooland gave.
"Being poor sucks. I have to get this city guard job as fast as possible." Leon grumbled as he walked toward the Asterhold district market, the primary place the thief keeps stealing.
Creating new elemental skills for safety? He decided to discard that idea for now, and what kind of thief would be skilled enough to resort to stealing in a market? There was a vast world for such skilled persons.
Asterhold district market. The heart of Asterhold. It was the place where all the money flowed in and out.
Leon stopped before a clothing shop. One of the victims of the thief. Entering the shop, he saw a few young girls—clerks—of his age, arranging clothes of various materials to their designated spot. Because it was early morning, there was no customer to be seen in sight.
So his arrival immediately caught all the clerks’ attention. The young girls looked toward his direction and became shocked in a matter of seconds.
They simultaneously sang in their minds. ’So handsome!’
