Origin Of Evil - 83 King

Dorian arrived on the second floor, and there were indeed less people here. Still, the difficulty wasn’t that hard, only the weakest of the weakest were stuck downstairs.

Dorian quickly glanced at a few items but concluded that he still wasn’t high enough. After all, he was searching for Adept and Expert abilities, so it wasn’t for the weakest people. The only basic skills he needed were rather rare, being Lock Picking, Tracking, Ice Resistance and Runemaster.

Once he got enough ability books to level them up to level 10, he still needed their Adept Rank version to rank them up.

But whether it was Basic or Adept rank, they were quite rare so he would need to go to higher floors as they would undoubtedly be costlier.

Still, he didn’t pass straight through the floors because he still searched for an item. That item was a storage he could use to preserve ingredients, such as Demon’s Hearts. That would allow him to keep them fresh when he kills the demon that will be summoned to attack him in the future.

But he wasn’t able to find anything in the first 3 floors. He made his way up to floor 4, and instantly the number of people diminished a lot. Dorian was able to determine that being here demanded one to have 20 of Strength, more or less.

The items in this floor were much more interesting, and a few Adept Rank books appeared, as well as Green items. There were only a few, but it was still great.

Fortunately, Dorian was able to find the books he searched for. There weren’t as many as he wished, but there were still some. He bought all of them, and continued searching. After half an hour, he finished going through everything sold on this floor, and he had found some other stuff.

Spending 10 000 Dream Coins, he had found enough books to max out his Lock Picking, Ice Resistance and Tracking. The first two didn’t have any effect, but his tracking allowed him to boost his pure Perception to 20.

This allowed him to pick another sub skill. The two proposed were:

[Wild Instinct: Allow you to pick on danger more easily.]

[Fortify Senses: Enhances all your senses by 10%.]

Dorian didn’t hesitate one second and picked [Fortify Senses]. Although picking on danger was useful, he knew very well that it couldn’t always be trusted, the best example being him as others can’t feel the danger coming from his bloodline.

But senses, they could help him with all sorts of things, and moreover it would go well with his Tracking skill.

He was also able to level up Runemaster to level 8 because he found only 4 books for it. However, he wasn’t able to find his item.

Dorian headed up to the next floor, the fifth floor. The gravity increased again, up to 25 of Strength. Anyone with a lesser attribute would fall to the ground.

Dorian was fine though. This time, there were more green items and Adept Skills. He found several ones that interested him, such as [Swordsmanship] and [Movement Mastery]. They were pricier, but Dorian bought them.

For a total of 110 000, he bought 5 [Adept Swordsmanship] books and 6 [Adept Movement Mastery]. Each book costed 10 000 Dream Coins. And Dorian could understand it. Even for him, he didn’t have many Green books to sell.

The only ones who dropped them were the Knights and Mages. In other words, the ones who dropped Green books also dropped Blue equipment. But Blue Equipment is very rare here, so of course they are expensive.

Still, every minute more Dream Coins appeared in his account because they were selling downstairs. It might look like Dorian was having an unfair advantage and was breaking the balance, but he actually wasn’t.

Although he has much more money than others, they don’t need to buy books. They would level up their abilities from level 1 to level 10 through training alone, because they could spend years outside. The only time they would need to buy books was when they passed a rank, for example basic to Adept.

That’s why, even though he had hundreds of thousands of Dream Coins, Dorian wasn’t breaking the balance. He was training fast, sure, but he also had to go in Dreamworld every week, so of course he must go faster. If he went at the same pace as others with his abilities he would die by the 3rd or 4th world.

Dorian felt himself get empowered, and he looked at his status. He was almost perfect. Almost. He closed it and searched for another ability book. The Tracking ability book.

Finding nothing on this floor, he went up to the 6th floor, where he found what he seeked. But even after searching for 20 minutes, he only found 4 [Adept Tracking] ability books. He shook his head and after making sure the item he seeked wasn’t here, he went up to the 7th floor.

The limit there was at 30, which is the max an Evolver can get to. Even if they used equipments, they wouldn’t get that much stronger than 30. Still, Dorian felt fine in this environment.

Here, he was able to find the remaining 6 books. He bought them too. They were 20 000 DC each, because Tracking was a rarer ability it was twice as expensive as Swordsmanship. That meant he spent 200 000 DC on those books. But he felt it was worth it.

Dorian absorbed the ten books at once, and once he absorbed every one of them, he felt an unprecedented power course through his veins. Dorian released a low growl, and an aura bursted out of his body.

But it wasn’t the killing aura he was so familiar with, it was a different kind. The killing aura felt like a blade was placed under your neck, and was cutting your mind piece by piece before skinning it.

But this aura, it was different. It felt heavy, as if the world was weighing on you. The ground below Dorian’s feet creaked a little, and the few people capable of standing on the floor began falling to the ground, kneeling.

His aura suddenly peaked, and they fell to the ground. Then, it began to recede, before finally entering his body again. He breathed in, and closed his eyes.

He stayed motionless for a few seconds, and the people around started getting up, looking at Dorian in fear. To be able to stand on the 7th floor, they were among the strongest in Dreamland. In fact, they all were in the top 100 among Evolvers.

And yet, this man had made them kneel and fall through his aura alone. Who was this person?

Suddenly, Dorian opened his eyes, and an unprecedented brilliance appeared in them. His original blue eyes had gained a shade of grey.

He smiled, ignoring those around, and opened his status.
