Saintess Summons Skeletons - Chapter 381: Entitled
How many instruments do I even know of? Like ten? Is this thing going to break when I summon fifty rats?
This one I might have to try out… Still, though. Weird. What’s next?
[Demon]: You sold your soul to a dark god. Bold.
Effect: Amplifies your demonic aura.
/Ephemeral/ : Will be lost if you are rejected by your Recessed
Oh. The fear thing that makes people pass out? I don’t even have it when I transform… Maybe when the skill evolves. Useless for now.
Calling the Recessed the dark gods is an interesting word choice. I get why. But so far, they’ve been a lot less dark than most of the ‘regular’ gods.
Which makes me think, it’s about time I try to have a talk with Pareth’s god, right? Surely they would accept to lend an essence… Death and Moon are also options… Ah, next title’s ready.
[Overachiever]: Got a specialization from the level 100 trial.
Effect: Your specialization skill alteration chance is always 100%.
It’s good but way too late to the party. Time between skills is so long now I have plenty of time to get the alteration chance up if I want to. And with how my skills work anyway whether they get altered or not isn’t a huge deal…
Seems like an ongoing pattern that titles are most useful right after you unlock them. So since I’m getting them all at once later, most are already outdated. I would have liked to get something to help against higher level opponents from Orvod’s fight but I guess not.
Nothing for the whole bolt-stealing either. What does and doesn’t get a title seems pretty arbitrary.
[Awakened]: Completed the level 100 trial.
Effect: +500 Health
Another generic title. Titler 2? I’m guessing I’ll get a +5000 Health one for the second trial?
[Rebellious Puppet]: Free yourself of mind control.
Effect: Gain resistance against mind-altering effects.
I’m already immune to most of them but alright. I might still use it in the right situation. I can see why this title would be a thing.
Still no unique title yet. Will I even get one?
[The Arbiter]: Wrongdoings must not go unpunished; you swore to seek retribution.
Effect: After dealing damage to the target of your revenge once, you will always know their exact location. (Tracking lost if the title is swapped out)
/Ephemeral/ : Will be lost when the target dies or if you give up on your revenge.
Hmm. This one’s for you, scripture. I’ll be keeping this one ready. No escape. Alright, next please. Get to the good stuff already!
[The Impervious]: Lost your head and survived.
Effect: Hits that would deal less than 5% of your maximum health do not damage you.
“I have seen this somewhere… Pareth’s version is better. This is only good for people who are accumulating tons of health so useless for me.”
The titles are starting to generate faster, at least. I won’t have to spend two days here waiting for them to appear.
[Core member]: You saw the truth.
Effect: Enables core member privacy mode: hides you from all system scans and tracking.
THIS!
I have no idea what this truth thing is about at all… But this is it! This HAS to be how Hugo was hiding from the system! No wonder…
Mostly useless to me, though. But it is interesting to know of and to have.
Core members…
Hey! What?! I didn’t cheat! It was a legit kill!
♢UNIQUE ♢ [Cheater]: Killed Sammy the Lesser Stone Drake in the second trial.
Seriously; how?! WHY?!!!
Effect: Allows you to identify anything and anyone as long as the system is able to. Around you, no one is safe. Gives exact level readings and class titles for people. Level readings for scribeless creatures are approximations.
Alright. Yeah. That’s pretty insane. Worthy of being called a cheater’s tool. Exact level and class plus the monsters’ levels? Unique titles are really something else. Depending on what comes after, I might just use this one.
I’ll definitely use it, even, it might be a good idea to have this on all the time and be ready to switch to a more battle oriented title when needed.

I really didn’t think this is what would get me a unique title.
So the drake was called Sammy…
[Acclaimed]: Completed the level 200 trial.
Effect: +5000 Health
As predicted. There must really be one for every trial. Nothing for Victory though? That would be a huge disappointment.
Sofia could barely wait. Out of everything, she felt that the title for beating Victory had the most potential to be incredible.
♢UNIQUE ♢ [THE GLORIOUS]: Be the first to get Victory’s crown.
Realistically, it’s only a matter of time before someone is insane enough to get this one. I bet a human would be the one to get it, but the other two laughed at me.
If you’re a human reading this, please laugh at them for me. If not, you can laugh at me too.
Effect: While wearing the crown of Victory, enemies in a large area around you are consumed by the flames of Victory, dealing damage over time and preventing them from absorbing ambient mana. Damage from the flames of Victory cannot be prevented.
Woah. I think we have a winner.
Preventing mana regeneration… It’s whatever against monsters, but against people… And it’s damage that cannot be prevented.
Remains to see how much damage and in how large an area. Very worthy of being a unique title.
But there has to be more to come, right? I’ve done some noteworthy things since the second trial. Surely there are another few titles to be had?
[So anyway, I started blasting]: Use too much firepower and still fail to accomplish what you set out to do.
Effect: Improves your aim.
What now?!
Oh, the fucking plant. Unbeatable Dimmerion or something. Yeah. Alright. Fair.
It was not an aim issue, though… Ah, whatever.
[Wanderer]: The sun? I wonder how it looks up-close.
Effect: Helps you find your way back to the planet. (May take a while.)
G- Good to have, I suppose.
I don’t intend to get lost in the void again, but it is definitely reassuring to have this.
[Sun’s Warrior]: Complete a deathly wager quest from Sun.
Effect: No penalty is applied in case of a quest failure. This title must be worn and kept from the moment you accept the quest for the effect to apply.
/Ephemeral/ : This title will be lost upon negating one failure.
Good option to have especially since Sun isn’t the only entity out there giving bad quests.
Depending on how the later trials are set up, this might even give me two chances at one, as long as it uses a quest. Probably won’t, but that would be funny.
Not that I’m going to ever fail a trial, though. Right?
This should almost be it for the titles…
[The Upgraded]: As a non-Dragon, protect yourself with Dragon-scale armor.
Effect: Non Dragon-scale Items you wear have significantly increased toughness and durability.
Don’t care.
Anything else?
It took a while until the next title appeared.
[Master Thief]: You stole all kinds of things from all kinds of people, even when it really should not have been possible.
Effect: You are much harder to detect through magic and senses other than sight. Become invisible when you stand still for more than three seconds.
/Ephemeral/ : This title will be lost if your stolen possessions get reclaimed by their original owner.
Hey, not bad. I will likely end up using this one sometimes. I’m not too worried about losing it, but having the title ‘Master Thief’ when you’re identified must not look great, and as an Ephemeral it can’t be hidden.
I got this one for stealing the key, I guess. So this should be it for the titles.
Well. Not bad. Not bad at all.
I can’t wait to unlock the sub-cla-
Huh? There’s more?
[The Endless]: You just won’t stay dead. Is immortality really a blessing?
Effect: Unleash a violent shockwave upon death.
/Ephemeral/ : This title will be lost if you are imprisoned and do not escape within a year.
How violent are we talking about? Is it a full angel-bolt type of violent? This can give me some breathing room when I’m fighting with the unlife runes. I’m not sure I’ll use it though. Will need some testing. Maybe for big battles it could be a thing to start with this and switch to [THE GLORIOUS] when I run out of runes. But then I need to know about the fight a full day in advance to have the cooldown on the title switch ready, because I won’t be using this title by default when I’m not even wearing a rune most of the time.
Alright alright alright. Is this it? It had to be everything this time, right?
Sofia patiently waited for a few minutes while she re-read the titles and considered her options. Seeing there were no more titles coming, she picked one to activate right away.
