Sapphire City, Silver Province:
" Just an elemental based affinity is enough for me. A mage type innate talent please ".
" Pfft, look at this guy ".
" Heh, elemental affinities are only effective with B rank or above ".
" Hehe, I just want to have a melee type innate talent ".
" Oh you mean herculean strength or muscle enhancement".
" Yeah they're very good ".
The crowd is buzzing as the talent awakening ceremony is being held. In this world, your initial skill determines your path. If you're compatible with mana, then you'll be granted talent awakening ceremony. If not, you'll be destined to be a commoner forever.
At this time, Nova Grace looked calm and collective. But his nervousness hasno bounds. He lost both of his parents few years ago in a dungeon break. Since then he studied hard about hunters and dungeons. He didn't slack off a single minute. At this time, if he can't awaken a good skill, then he will not be able to get good hunter.
Of course many say Innate Talent isn't anything. But when only those with innate talents go against those who don't have compatible innate talent with their career they will know the difference. The power of skills will have more than triple the power compared to normal awakeners of the same profession with no high rank innate talent.
This is also why most of the hunters are weak and only a handful of awakeners appear. However at this moment, Nova suddenly stiffened. He held his head as a huge headache. ' what is this? These memories. Awakening the most powerful hidden talent yet despised because it's misunderstood to be production type. Rampage of dark guilds. Dungeon breaks. Harsh blows to top hunters all over the world. Invasion of Abyss realm. Hunters being the prey for demons. A very long war with entities in tower. Betrayal from the constellations '.
After getting the memories of his future self, Nova couldn't help but clench his fists. There is souch going on behind the backs of everyone. As he is thinking, The Warden there called him. Nova climbed the podium and the mana entered his body.
Then a connection is formed between him and the tower itself. A status window appeared in front of him. The warden observed his panel especially the talent and said," Nova Grace, Talent : Fusion, Rank : Unknown. Production type awakener. Suited to skills like Alchemy and Blacksmithing ".
He then dismissed Nova. As Nova got down another girl stepped into the formation and the deacon announced," Lucy Baker, Talent : Frost Affinity, Rank : S. Combat type awakener. Suitable for skills of mage type ", in an instant the school cheered for her.
Nova turned around to see Lucy, the future Frost Queen of the blue mage tower. She is going to establish the blue mage tower and fight against the dark guilds. Nova turned around and walked away. From now on, everyone has to live their lives. Chasing after power and climbing the tower.
Nova recalled what happened clearly. He despised the talent he got, an unknown rank talent can be the strongest and can also be the weakest. Nova only used in production in his previous life until he discovered a hidden use of this talent. He can fuse skills, items and anything literally.
Nova took a deep breath and said," I won't make the same mistakes I did in my previous life. I need to get the skills that are very useful in future. First needs to get the basic Alchemy skills. Extract, transform, seprate, assimilate. and also needs the necromancy skill books. Fortunately necromancer skill books are not popular and are cheaper compared to other combat skill books. Unfortunately, with my financial situation It's not something I can get just yet. The association can give me the basic skill book, but then I need to everything else by myself ".
Nova went straight to the association and registered. He received the basic skill book which is the magic bolt. A basic skill book granted to mage type hunters. Nova can be categorised into mage type hunter, but he is only production type. As for basic Alchemy skill books.
Those start at C-rank or above. Basic necromancy skill books needs to be hunted down from the undead dungeons with dark wizard or necromnacers as bosses. Nova either needs money or sign contract with a guild to earn the skills he needed.
But Nova didn't want to join any guild. Many of them make hunters bleed and collect their loot according to a contract after showing a large sum at the beginning. In truth, after a few days they will start to call hunters on regular raids and took three times the money that is given to the hunters.
Moreover nearly half of the spoils is taken away by the guild and production type hunters are the most miserable. Holded up in a room for many several hours straight continuously producing potions, artifacts, and accessories for the hunters.
It's better to avoid them. He saw many of the hunters suffering like this. He himself almost got scammed into this. Fortunately he refused at the last second and decided to open his own business. With the fusion talent unlike other skills he is able to combine ingredients to make new materials and studied them to achieve new potions.
With the support from the hunter association he is able to form his own Alchemist guild. But he is too naive, he trusted people easily and taught them some of his methods only to be betrayed by them. It's only when he is being hunted down that he is able to found that he can combine skills too. With that he is able to achieve strength in the tower in a low time and push back those traitors. But even then, he is failed to notice the moles from dark guild and got backstabbed in the battle with abyss. As a result he is not able to kill the abyss god and demon god from the Abyss realm.
' since I'm back, I'll grow stronger while maintaining secrecy and will definitely hunt down those traitors one by one ', Nova thought. He then hurried to his home and took rest for the day. From tomorrow onwards he can challenge the tower and dungeons.
