"This form of mine is a lot more pleasant to look at than so big ball of light, don't you think?"
The Goddess of the East Sector turned out to be quite talkative, and she gave Kaito a considerable amount of information. For instance, in a past generation of the Infinite Space, there was no public area, no freedom to form teams; all Reincarnators were thrown into missions like insects in a jar, and the atmosphere was extrely oppressive. In this generation, however, not only were Reincarnators given significant freedom, but even the "Main God" had taken on this lovely appearance.
But no matter how her appearance changed, it didn't alter the fact that this being was likely the physical manifestation of the Nexus itself. In other words, this so-called "Miracle of the East Sector" held the lives of countless Reincarnators in her hands.
"Tsk. The newcors these days are so impolite," the silver-haired, red-eyed Goddess grumbled, her voice suddenly unladylike. She descended from the air, the cheerful smile completely gone from her face as she made a rather vulgar gesture.
[Please select a function.]
[A. Upgrade Reincarnator Authority]
[B. Ability Advancent / Removal]
[C. Lineage Advancent / Removal]
[D. Sequence Advancent / Removal]
[E. ]
…
Kaito studied the options. An explanation appeared next to each one.
[Reincarnator Authority] was a progression system completely separate from a Reincarnator's power ranking. It determined what special privileges one could enjoy within the Infinite Space. These included things like receiving advance notice of the next mission world, creating teams and factions, increasing one's Dwell Ti in the public space, and even using the Nexus's functions to designate a specific person for recruitnt as a Reincarnator.
As a newcor, Kaito currently had no authority whatsoever, but he could use [Singularities] to raise it.
To advance from a Newcor to a [1-Star Reincarnator] required 1 C-rank Singularity. A 1-Star Reincarnator would receive an additional 2 hours of Dwell Ti (which could be accumulated) each ti they returned from a mission world.
To advance from 1-Star to 2-Star required 1 B-rank Singularity. In addition to another 2 hours of Dwell Ti, a 2-Star Reincarnator would receive a 24-hour advance notice before their next deploynt. Furthermore, 2-Star Reincarnators could create their own official teams, binding multiple Reincarnators together with a contract to complete missions.
Kaito didn't feel the need to look into the requirents for 3-Star or the higher-level [Titled Reincarnators] for now. The other extrely useful functions—[Ability], [Lineage], and [Sequence]—all required Singularities, the only currency the Goddess accepted.
The purchasing power of this currency was beyond anything Kaito had imagined. He now understood why Kai had accepted his offer for the Hamon scroll even after he had cut 2000 Dinsional Points from the price. Singularities had an irreplaceable function.
Kaito currently had 1 B-rank and 2 D-rank Singularities. He looked up at the giant Goddess, who floated effortlessly in the air as if gravity didn't apply to her.
[Upgrade Ability: Hamon (C ) from Lv2 to Lv3 requires 1 E-rank Singularity. Proceed?]
Kaito tested the system and found that upgrading abilities was relatively cheap. Any ability below B-rank, at levels under Lv4, only required 1 E-rank Singularity per level. However, to break through to Lv4 or higher required a D-rank Singularity. It seed reasonable enough. After all, a Reincarnator could train and level up these low-level skills themselves with enough ti and resources. Kaito himself had raised his Hamon by one level after just five days of training. Five days of real-world ti versus one E-rank Singularity… it's hard to say which is more precious.
[Querying advancent for Special Sequence: Sin and Karma. Query failed. Reincarnator rank is insufficient.]
It seed that advancing his Sequence had hidden requirents. After a mont's thought, Kaito broke down one of his two remaining D-rank Singularities into three E-rank ones. He then spent one.
[With the Goddess's blessing, Ability: Hamon Lv2 has been upgraded. Current Level: Hamon Lv3.]
Kaito felt a significant increase in his body's cellular activity, but he still wasn't satisfied.
[Upgrade Ability: Hamon (C ) from Lv3 to Lv4 requires 1 D-rank Singularity. Proceed?]
"Proceed!"
[With the Goddess's blessing, Ability: Hamon Lv3 has been upgraded. Current Level: Hamon Lv4.]
[Hamon Lv4: When active, enhances all physical functions (Strength 1, Agility 1, Constitution 1). Grants rapid healing for minor injuries.]
[Ability Hamon (C ) has broken through to Lv4. Please select a specialization.]
[A: Ripple Enhancent - Further enhances the body's physical functions.]
[B: Ripple Overdrive - Allows the user to release Hamon through their fists, enhancing striking power.]
When an ability reached Lv4, one could choose a specialization. In this case, option A ant further strengthening the internal buffs, keeping the Hamon contained within the body. Option B was to release the Hamon externally, unlocking the famous Overdrive technique and giving him a close-range energy attack.
Kaito's physical stats were already quite high. He felt his current hand-to-hand combat skills were sufficient for this stage, so after a brief consideration, he chose the more unique [Ripple Overdrive] enhancent.
Instantly, he felt the ripple energy within him surge in power. A dense wave of Hamon vibrated through his body and flowed across the surface of his skin. The wounds on his hands tingled as they began to heal, and he felt he could now channel the Hamon into his fists when he punched.
[Energy attribute 1]
Kaito was currently wearing [rcenary Tao's Pink Robe], which already boosted his Constitution by 2 points. Combined with the new effect from his Hamon, his Constitution had now reached 15, eting the minimum requirent for [Devil Lance].
He tore open the scroll. It dissolved into a stream of information that flowed into his body. Kaito felt his muscles begin to twitch as a flood of muscle mory filled him. It was as if he had been practicing [Devil Lance] for a very long ti, the ability becoming an instinct embedded in his very being.
[You have mastered the ability: Devil Lance (C ).]
[Upgrade Ability: Devil Lance (C ) from Lv1 to Lv2 requires 1 E-rank Singularity. Proceed?]
"Proceed."
Kaito was not the type of player to hoard resources. On the contrary, he was quite extravagant and believed in using what he had. He instantly spent his two remaining E-rank Singularities to raise Devil Lance to Lv3.
[Devil Lance Lv3: An explosive, close-range piercing strike with terrifying destructive power.]
After leaving the Goddess's Sanctum, Kaito went to the [Rank Managent Office]. Here, another female Nexus-character, this one clad in knight's armor, greeted him.
"Well now, you've reached the threshold of the [Mortal]-tier already?" she said, sounding impressed.
"Advancing to the [Mortal]-tier is simple. Kill a plot character with a rating of [Mortal]-tier or higher in single combat. Bring his head. His head will beco your strength."
[You have accepted the Advancent Quest: Enemy's Flesh, My Strength.]
