MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Chapter 89 Greater Than Human

By the time Valyr had regained consciousness, it was already the next day. Expecting to feel stiff and whatnot due to how he fallen unconscious on his bed, Valyr was slightly surprised to find out that he felt no such thing as he sat up.

Instead, he felt as if every cell making up his body was filled to the brim with energy, even though he had not eaten anything ever since he had gone through the process to ascend to Rank 1.

Recalling this, Valyrʼs consciousness had become wide awake within a couple minutes, prompting letting out a yawn before standing up to do some light stretching. In fact, while doing body stretches, he felt as if his body was limber than usual, a light smile inexplicably creeping up on his face.

After that, he went through his usual morning routine. Though, just as Valyr got out of the shower to put on a fresh set of clothes, he noticed that all of it seemed a size smaller than he was used to, making him wonder as to whether he had set out his clothes to dry for too long that it had shrunk. However, once he took a look at himself in front of the mirror, his question was quickly answered.

ʼAnd here I thought the change to the body during Rank 1 was purely cosmetic back then.ʼ As this thought coursed through Valyrʼs mind, he could not help but admire the aesthetic changes his body had undergone through.

For one, he had grown slightly taller, being a couple inches taller than before he had ascended. With that, his body had also adjusted accordingly, becoming broader in some places, and slimmer in others. All in all, in his current state, Valyr could not help but think that his current appearance had the makings of a model.

Deciding to buy a few sets of clothes in his new size later, an awkward smile could not help but adorn Valyrʼs face as he left his dormitory room, swiftly making his way to the cafeteria.

…

While making his way there, he went ahead and checked through the list of notifications he had received after he had fallen unconscious, feeling slightly overwhelmed at the sheer number of it.

Ding!

[Your species ʼHumanʼ has been changed to ʼHuman (1st Unsealing)ʼ. As you have transitioned to a higher-level species, you have gained +2 VIT, +2 STR, +2 AGI, +3 DEX, +3 INT, +2 WIS, +2 PER, and +1 LUK.]

[Your class ʼCivilianʼ has been changed to ʼTrue Prodigious Blacksmith (Mythic)ʼ.]

[You have gained +3 VIT, +3 STR, +2 AGI, +5 DEX, +5 INT, +2 WIS, +3 PER, and +1 LUK.]

[You have gained 4 unassigned stat points.]

ʼTo think Iʼd gain effectively 4 levelsʼ worth of stats in just one.ʼ Looking through the notifications regarding his increase in stats, Valyr could not help but let out a chuckle.

Whenever one ascended to a higher class, a portion of oneʼs current stats at Level 10 would be added during the process, being one of the many reasons why Basic Reinforcement Elixirs were highly sought after in the early stages of the game. After all, the greater oneʼs stats were, the greater the amount of extra stats they would get during the ascension, which was what had happened for Valyr.

Removing the extra stats he had gained from consuming the Reinforcement Elixirs, Valyr was certain that he would have only gained one extra point to all stats after changing his species instead of obtaining two to three points on most of his stats like what happened now.

ʼWell, I wouldʼve probably been able to gain more stats if I opted to change into a rarer species.ʼ Just as this thought popped up in his mind, Valyr had finally made his way to the cafeteria. Ordering a hearty breakfast from the cafeteria workers, he then made his way to a vacant table after receiving his order, only to dig into it soon after.

ʼThen again, considering how many players would certainly choose to go with Human as their race at the start, this is probably the best species one could transition to, except if they had access to some of the rarer variants of the Human race.ʼ Allowing the taste of the food to spread throughout his mouth, he went ahead and brought up the description of his current species in front of him.

Ding!

[Human (1st Unsealing)] (Species)

It is said that there exists nine seals within a humanʼs body. As to how these seals came to be, no one knew. Though, it is said that these seals had been put in place due to the havoc humans wreaked during the past without it, becoming a race many feared throughout the entire universe.

Though humans of the current day do not possess the power it used to have to instill great fear into its foes, humans can still remove the seals within their bodies, with each seal unlocked a great portion of the latent potential hidden within oneʼs body.

ʼIf nothing odd occurs, I would undoubtedly transition to Human (3rd Unsealing) by Rank 3, allowing me to become a High Human at Rank 4,ʼ Valyr thought to himself, deciding to grab seconds as the entirety of his hunger was awakened by the meal he ate.

ʼBut in the off chance I go past the third unsealing, thereʼs a shot that I might be able to transition into a Grand Human. Perhaps, even transitioning to a True Human wouldnʼt be far-fetched.ʼ Allowing his mind to daydream a bit, Valyr eventually finished eating his breakfast, letting out a chuckle as he placed his current train of thought to the back of his mind.

After earning a couple stares from people he had passed by the barracksʼ corridors due to his poorly fitting clothes, he eventually returned to his dormitory room and grabbed the satchel of coins Wells gave him, intending to head out to the nearby clothes shop to buy new clothes.

Leaving his dormitory room, he decided to employ the entirety of his AGI, causing gusts of wind to blow throughout the corridors he had passed through as he left the barracks a couple minutes later. With the thought of having people stare less at him for his clothes if he ran at full speed, Valyr continued to run at full speed for a while, only stopping once he had arrived at the clothes shop.

Once there, he asked the owner of the shop if there were articles of clothing fit for his current size. Fortunately for him, the owner nodded and responded that he did, telling Valyr to wait as the owner grabbed clothes Valyrʼs size from the back of the shop.

Seeing as he had gained the time to do so, he perused through his notifications once more. Though, rather than focus on notifications related to his new species, he instead focused on notifications regarding his new class. ʼTo be honest, I thought this class would only be a bit better than the first class I had in mind. But now that Iʼve looked at it for a bit more…ʼ

ʼIt definitely blows it out of the water.ʼ
