Cosmic Peak

After Aren left the wild expanse, he decided to take a small break to know the world's situation. He guessed that some people should have reached level 10, and some people are bound to show off.

He went to the highway hotel, which didn't have any customers, but an old man in his eighties was watching the tv with his mouth wide open.

Aren was intrigued as he looked in the TV and saw also slightly shocked.

The news reporter had an excited face as he spoke, " As you can that people are getting various mystical powers after reaching level 10 and choosing a so-called path. This man here is known as Lucious Black, and the path he has is known as Mystic Ravenforce. Just look; he is freely flying in the sky with his black wings. According to him, He can also shoot feather blades from his wings, and with some mystical energy he possesses, he can create a forcefield of darkness. "

After saying that, the report called out to Lucious, " Mr. Lucious Black, can you give a display of those mystical powers you mentioned? "

Lucious descended beside the reporter with a smile and said, " Of course. " He then looked around and pointed at the metal board attached to a building.

" That metal board is quite sturdy, but I think my skill can easily break it apart. " After saying that, Lucious flew towards it and used his skill <Asdeous Feathers>.

The camera was zoomed at the place as everyone saw Lucious releasing a barrage of feathers that shredded the metal board completely.

Aren was also startled at that offense and the ability to fly, ' That's...quite awesome. Wait..how could I forget that? Damn...'

Aren suddenly got an idea as he summoned his Articule Gear, Ikaros( Heavy Broad Sword ) and causing a shock to the old man watching the TV.

" Young man. T-that s-sword... Hais, It looks like you got some mysterious powers as well. " The old man spoke as he looked at the sword floating in front of Aren and sighed, " But this bag of bones is old now, so I doubt I will be able to do anything even If I go there. "

" Grandpa, don't you have any family members? "

Grandpa shook his head, " Nope, My wife died two years ago. I wanted to leave this world with her, but I guess God didn't allow that. Now there's just this small hotel and me. People have also stopped coming here after that government announcement as everyone seems to be entering that place. "

Aren smiled and said, " Grandpa, You should visit the Myriad Mountain because once you enter Wild Expanse, your age won't matter as long as you get attribute points after leveling up. You will feel young and even more powerful than your prime after that. "

Aren told grandpa what to do after arriving in the town. He told him to follow through some basic things and if he managed to get an easy quest, then do it.

He also explained the risk that if he can't finish the quest, he won't be able to return here.

" Hahaha. Alright, young man. I don't have many years to live, so I might as well try so as not to feel any lingering regret that I didn't even try. "

After saying that, The grandpa thanked Aren for the tips and advice and disappeared.

Aren wished good luck to the grandpa before he looked at his sword and grinned, " Let's see if I can fly with this. "

He controlled the sword and brought it to ground level before stood on it.

Seeing that his weight didn't affect the sword at all, He became excited and slowly controlled the sword as he brought it up five meters in the air from the ground.

After that, he slowly started moving the sword with his thought with excitement in his eyes, ' Hahaha, I can really fly with this method. '

He increased the speed of moving the sword, but he felt that he would fall at fast speed and when turning to sides and flying curvy since there was no grip of his foot on the sword, ' I need to practice a bit to get the hang of body balance while flying on the sword, but I'll do that while searching for the caves in the Wild expanse. I guess people who mastered skateboard would be able to get the hang of flying on the sword instantly. '

...

Aren entered Ludona town because Luna was alone, and she was not level 10 yet. So in case, she encounters the same situation as those crysario beasts in the mountain cave, then she can't defeat them alone.

After entering the town, The first thing Aren did was to use his talent point.

He looked at the two blinking gray bubbles, and when he focused on them, He got notifications and heard a voice.

[ Armalist Drive+ ]-: Upgrade your Armalist Drive. Increases Armalist force capacity by 100 and Articule Gear slot by 1.

[ Emporio Zone ]-: A crafting zone for Emporio Armalist. [ Unable to unlock this talent due to user's insufficient soul power. ]

-->Requires 50 points in soul stat.

Since there was only one thing he could use his talent point on, He used it on [ Armalist Drive+ ].

<-Aren->

[ Path- Emporio Armalist ]

-Level: 1 [ 350/1000 Exp ]

-Armalist Force: 200/200

-Articule Gears: [ Ikaros ]. --Slots: 3 ( 2 left ).

< Talents >

--> Armalist Drive+ ( core of the path, merged with the soul. )

Right after he used up his talent point, He got a notification.

[ As the starting of this path is not as powerful as general paths, A Gear box has been added to your inventory as a reward for upgrading Armalist Drive. Choose one Articule Gear out of three. ]

Aren was surprised and took out the box from the inventory.

The box was silver with dreamy blue patterns and looked sci-fi.

He opened the box, and three projections appeared in front of him.

[ Arduex Boots ]-easy to use, easy to implement.

[ Astral-X Eyeballs ]-easy to use, hard to implement if the user doesn't possess tough will.

[ Fauwin Coat ]-easy to use, easy to implement.

" There are only names and images? No description of what the gear does? " Aren muttered with a frown, " Also, what's with those eyeballs? Looks cool but creepy at the same time. "
