The System Of Infinity

'Then what am I going to do?!' Aiden asked as he started moving away from the place. He was doing this in case any other beast decided to attack him or worse, many of them decided to gang upon him.

So while moving away. Aiden couldn't help but ask the system about what was going to happen now that Infini was no longer with the system. Would he still be able to upgrade his system? 

< We should be able to find a way to do something regarding it. Though, I think that it's possible to upgrade the system even without Infini especially when you have the system upgrade option. >

'Is this the option that I unlocked that day after completing my quest?'

< Yes Aiden, this was the option you unlocked but it was useless to you back then but now you definitely need to use it. But before doing that, I think you should pool the rest of your exp to your job class. >

'Any suggestions?'

< You can try maxing out your swordsman class or perhaps giving exp to both your swordsman class as well as Guider of light job class. This is a good thing to do now since both the classes can be leveled up a little and they will give you new skills and more skill points.

'Then I guess that's what I am going to do.'

[ Put 5000 exp in the sub job class: Guider of light? ]

'Yes.'

After leveling up the job class, Aiden found out that he didn't get a single new skill. So while feeling salty, Aiden decided to level up the second job class.

< You will need to select the other job as your sub-job class before putting the exp points in it. >

'Ok Sera.'

A system screen then popped up in front of Aiden's face.

[ Change sub-job class to swordsman? ]

'Yes.'

[ Job class has been changed. ]

[ Put the remaining 5000 exp in the sub job class: Swordsman? ]

'Yes.'

After the swordsman job class leveled up, Aiden unlocked two new skills though one of them was just an upgrade from an older skill.

[ Slash V2 ( 0 / 10 0

- The slash created by swinging a sword in any direction.

- Deals damage depending on the range and the p0wer put behind the swing.

Range: 5 meters. ]

But the second skill was something different.

[ Star slash (5 skill points)

Requires level 3 swordsman job class to use

---

- Once activated, the user will be able to perform a five-hit combo using the sword. ] 

'I am unlocking this.' After unlocking the new skill, Aiden realized that he now had a good variety of attack skills for both long-range and close-range attacks.

But one thing he didn't have was that he was not a jack of all trades. His system was rather focused on specific job classes but that too had its own benefits.

Where a jack of all trades would have to put a lot of effects in many jobs at once, Aiden could become an expert in that while practicing all of that time on one job.

This meant that a jack of all traders could still use a job class and its skills, Aiden would be able to use a higher level of the same skills while having some of the other skills.

But if the jack of all trades had a few 'lucky encounters', everything would be completely different.

After using the beast core, Aiden decided to continue his journey while using less of his elemental energy. Though this meant that he might reach the city of Mondstad after a month or so, he would still have plenty of strength in the meantime.

After all, the forest was an extremely dangerous place and he couldn't rely on Hestia or anyone else to save him.

< Are you worried about the people in the capital though? >

'I don't need to worry about father though I am not sure about mother's condition. I am tempted to go back and tell father about what I remembered. But what if he can be controlled by that person too?'

< Fair point host. And what about your friends? >

'Will is probably trying to become stronger and Alex is probably helping someone out. As for Zoe, I have no idea what she would be doing. Maybe face slapping a few people?'

< That's my guess as well Aiden. >

The two of them then fell quiet as Aiden stopped continued to travel despite nighttime. This was because he could now use his light skills as well as the moon's light.

After a few more hours of travel, Aiden finally decided to take a break. He still had over 200 EE remaining yet he felt that he needed to recover all of it before moving forward.

'Sera, can you keep watch over me while I rest for some while?' Aiden then asked as he climbed on a tree and decided to spend the night there.

< Yes Aiden, I can. >

'Wake me up if you sense any danger.'

Aiden then closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep. But neither he nor the system were aware of the person that was watching them from hundreds of kilometers away.

< Hey god of shadow, can you hear me?

In the silence, the Sera suddenly decided to contact the god of shadows. She didn't receive any response for a few minutes but didn't lose hope.

And after a few more minutes, the god of shadows reply.

"Is that you Sera?" He sounded younger than the time he had spoken with Aiden. 

< Yes, Zach, I am speaking directly to you. >

"But how? You weren't supposed to break free from Infini's control just like the soul of my system cannot break free from me."

< The primordial goddess of light helped me and she is connected with Aiden's soul too. Do you realize what this means? >

Zach remained silent for a few minutes before he spoke again.

"This means that he can reunite darkness, light, and shadow.. I might get my original powers again and get rid of this stupid God of entertainment title. And you might be able to live again…"
