Sofia had long lost all track of the ti spent learning the language when she managed to reach a level sufficient to read the system notifications in Draconic. She had focused only on reading comprehension, completely disregarding all ntions of politeness, pronunciation and such things. Now she could read most things with sufficient confidence that even if she didnt understand a word, she could guess and not land too far from its actual aning. And she still had the book as a support when sothing really blocked her.

She now understood the real na of her new passive skill, which was [Breath of the Outcast] but since she found out the Scribe would let her write whatever she wanted over the Draconic text in her status, she renad it [Erredian Rot].

And with the biggest hurdle dealt with, she could finally get on to what she thought was the most exciting and nerve-wrecking part of the level up process, the specialization. Zerei had told them that it wasnt uncommon to enter up to fifty levels of debt for the elite few Avians who had this opportunity. Specializations were too important and rare to cheap out on. Sofia was ready to go all out, and she knew Alith would too if she managed to get a point, so they might end up in a lot of debt. They were both fine with that.

Im ready to roll a hundred tis if I need to, give the good stuff!

[Path of the Sleepless :

Unlocking requirents :

Has t many people who rarely sleepHas sotis spent more than a week straight without sleepingHas an item which alleviates sleepinessHas had thoughts that sleep was a waste of ti

Description : The sleepless rarely sleep. The longer they stay awake, the sturdier they get.

Stat growth change : Health growth *2]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : none)]

Not bad but also not good Also health growth going from five to ten per level is pitiful.

And it doesnt show the level debt I got from the Demon form here. It makes it easier to keep track of the number of tries Im using I guess. Cant forget Im already twenty levels deep into debt Well, twenty one.

[Path of the Beacon of Light :

Stat growth change : Health, Stamina, and Mana growth*1.5]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 1 level)]

Lowering the effects of sanctity for myself to let the skeletons have it? Thats the total opposite of what I need

Also what about guiding a child? When? Where? I did that?

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Squanderer :

Unlocking requirents :

Stat growth change : Stamina growth*3]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 2 levels)]

Sohow I feel a bit insulted. I should have stopped translating when I first read the na

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Predator :

Stat growth change : Strength, Agility, and Speed growth*3]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 3 levels)]

Three stats get triple growth, but no more defense? Just no

Should I just translate the stat growth part first and skip all the ones which do not give mana?

No, that would be a waste of my levels. You never know what could be strong. Thats the whole reason I also translate the requirents, I can never know when sothing crazy will show up in there. Stuff like fighting a God. It doesnt take too long to go through but its exhausting.

Anyway, nothing I would consider taking so far. Hopefully I dont really have to spend a hundred levels

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Breathless :

Unlocking requirents :

Stat growth change : Mana growth*2]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 4 levels)]

For Dragons who cant use Draconic Breath? It doesnt really sound great, but maybe. At least it has the stat growth I want.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Impervious Dead :

Has lost more than 100 000 HealthHad died many tisIs alive

Description : The Impervious Dead is one which has stubbornly refused Deaths embrace until it beca one with it. The Impervious dead is the sturdiest kind of Undead, capable of high damage negation and fast regeneration, but they suffer so side effects.

Stat growth change : Health growth*10, all other stat growth divided by 5]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 5 levels)]

Big no for this. Beco an undead, really? It honestly sounds like a kind of Zombie, even worse! No thank you. And Im not even going to talk about the stats

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Naked one:

Unlocking requirents :

Was born with no scalesHas worn multiple layers of armorEnjoy being unclothed when aloneHas

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

Stand not in the Punishers path, or you shall beco his bloodbath.

Stat growth change : Health growth fixed to 100 000 per level, Mana growth fixed to 50 per level; other stats may no longer grow in any way]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 7 levels)]

A hundred thousand per level? And with unlocking requirents like these? Its not what Im looking for at all, and its a bit extre But Ill keep that in mind. I could make it work, maybe.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Planesgrasper :

Unlocking requirents :

Has traveled through four planes of existence or moreHas interacted with beings from all planesHas a grasping abilityIs a Saint or Apostle

You cannot leave.

Stat growth change : All stat growths 50 per level]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 8 levels)]

I dont know what to say about this one. Its obviously good. But maybe Ive been blinded by the stat growth of Punisher, this just doesnt make an impression. And the na is ugly.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Celestial :

Unlocking requirents :

Has interacted with Celestial GodsHas Skills with Celestial componentsHas used rituals with Celestial componentsHas wingsHas flown higher than the atmosphereHas witnessed the glory of space

Description : The Celestial is one with the skies.

A Celestials defenses are stronger the higher they fly.

Stat growth change : Mana and Speed growth *2]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 9 levels)]

This one is fine, the stat growth changes are good. But the effects sound a bit Lacking? Why is the description so short? And does that an this specialization does nothing but give more stats when Im on the ground?

Not a definite no but Im unimpressed. Next.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

Sofia sighed as soon as she translated the title, but she kept reading anyway.

Co on, be serious, Im paying with my levels here

[Path of the Roastmaster :

Unlocking requirents :

Has honed their roasting skillsHas roasted themselvesHas roasted their friendsHas roasted their enemiesHas roasted many things which werent even edibleHas been roasted to death and backHas roasted for the pleasure of roasting

Stat growth change : Gain incrental additional stats when eating a type of roasted at for the first ti (at most thrice per level)]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 10 levels)]

This Strangely enough It could actually be good. How many different animals and monsters with flesh are there in the world? Depending on how the bonus stats grow, it could end up being an ungodly amount of stats But this also requires leveling up so its not like I can actually grow ever stronger. Well, Im not willing to try and find out how good or bad it could be.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Mountain :

Unlocking requirents :

Has entered a mountainHas attacked a mountainHas been attacked by a mountainHas created artificial mountainsHas survived attacks which could split a mountainIs tall

The mountain does not falter, the mountain does not break, the mountain does not fall.

Stat growth change : Health and Stamina growth *2]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 11 levels)]

Strong but unsuited for , an extra five health and stamina per level is not going to get anywhere

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Naless Horror :

Unlocking requirents :

Has a na that must not be spokenHas struck fear and horror into thousandsIs no longer completely of their birth race

Description : Do not speak of the unspeakable.

Stat growth change : All stat growths *2]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 12 levels)]

Fear and horror?

Oh, the 96th floor army At first glance this is good. But its uncertain what it does, and Im not certain this is the best choice to stay an accepted mber of society.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Egg :

Not translating this one.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

[Path of the Ruler of Thunder :

Unlocking requirents :

Stat growth change : Mana growth *3]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 14 levels)]

Hey, finally. After fourteen attempts. Finally a good one! You an I can cast Angels bolts without worrying about roasting myself, gain thrice as much mana every level AND weaken all other elental magic? Yes. Yes please. This is almost too good to be true.

Sofia stared at the specialization she had just translated.

But she didnt pick it. It was there now, she could always co back. But at that mont, she felt greed. She recognized what it was, and it scared her that she would so easily succumb to it. But she couldnt fight it. So what if she lost a few more levels, she thought. The next one could be much better yet!

And so, she went again.

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

But now she was much less careful about reading it all. Focusing on the key points only.

[Path of the Impostor :

Stat growth change : None]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 15 levels)]

This was all she checked for this one.

[Path of the Cave dweller]

[Path of the Castellan]

[Path of the Savior]

[Path of the Fading light]

Why is it always health growth

[Path of the Priest]

[Path of the Gravekeeper]

This one has such a good na but the description is the worst one yet I would sooner pick Naless horror than whatever this shit is.

Sofia kept going, but her reason was starting to get the best of her, this was a lot of levels.

Just a few more

[Path of the Escapist]

[Path of the Skin flayer]

[Path of the Walking Sanctuary :

Unlocking requirents :

Has provided shelter to ones in needHas protected and been protectedHas survived the attack of an hostile extra-systemic beingHas survived the attack of an operatorHas survived the attack of an hostile GodHas survived the influence of a Lord

May the Sanctuary never fade away.

Stat growth change : Health growth *4; Mana growth *3; Stamina growth *2]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 24 levels)]

No way I actually found sothing as good as the Ruler of Thunder again.

This is gonna be a dilemma

This I think Im stuck.

Sofia spent several hours trying to co to a decision. On one side, what seed like an incredible one-of-a-kind defensive upgrade, on the other, the promise of harmless angel bolts and defenses against all other kinds of magic. Both with incredible stat growth and unlocking requirents that were hard to replicate.

She tried her best to choose, but they felt so similar in their potential, for the first ti ever, Sofia was at a complete loss over what to do. Until she gave up.

Theres only one way to settle this.

Whats a few levels?

I will keep going until I get sothing better than both of these. Levels are nothing, Pareth can get them for . If theres ever a third specialization, it will co when higher level opponents than are harder to find and to fight. Right now, monsters over level 200 are still plentiful. And I have never been stronger

Zerei said the Avians rolled up to fifty

Sofias luck with her results was terrible. She reached fifty levels of debt but nothing was as good as Ruler of Thunder and Walking Sanctuary.

More than once she wanted to stop, but she was too deep down the hole to climb back up.

She gave herself no limit, she would get sothing exceptional.

Sothing powerful enough to end Scripture.

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 112 levels)]

[You have chosen to pay for a new path]

It felt like she had been going forever, but she was still not giving up. Each lost level hurt a bit more, but she still felt it was justified, it was an investnt.

The next path which appeared gave her pause. The na was special, but the stranger part was the unlocking requirents which she didnt understand at all, to the point that she questioned whether or not all of her translations until now were actually correct.

[Path of the Heat Death :

Unlocking requirents :

Has witnessed a coreHas witnessed a collapseHas witnessed a ndingHas been exposed to the four principlesCan survive the absolute zeroCan survive the eternal silenceCan survive the void

Description : Where fate ends.

All will fade, such is destiny. All but you.

Stat growth change : All stat growths *4]

[You may accept this path or choose another one (current debt : 113 levels)]

All stats tis four!

The description is more than a bit ominous but If I dont stop now I never will.

Survive the end of fate Did I even translate that well? What does Heat Death an? Getting cooked? The na feels like it doesnt fit everything else.

With the two demon form uses, that makes it 133 levels of debt. This better be reaaaaaaaaally worth it. But I think, if only for the stat growth multipliers, it should be.

I really went overboard this ti. Is this the furthest anyone has pushed the specialization debt, I wonder?

Well, I will only have to go from level 200 to 201 a hundred and thirty three tis. Its not that bad. And Alith can help too, or she can force to drop her skill if she doesnt want to wait

Ding

[Congratulations, you have unlocked the specialized skill : Heat Death!]
