The Arcadia System - Chapter 246

Reve stared at the ceiling.

His eyes dilated as found himself a victim of something terrible; Boredom!

Even when he tried to sleep, it would prove futile as he would just wake him back.

‘What do I do? Oh, that’s it!’

Reve had noticed something different about him when he woke up. It seemed he needed to do some inspection.

While on his bed, he mentally pronounced, “Stats.”

Immediately, he declared that a large inflow of notifications popped up in front of him. He was almost overwhelmed by them.

‘Hmmm….this was expected.’

Reve had longed stopped growing in the secret path. He had reached a roadblock.

All he needed was a final push that would liberate him from the mental confines.

Regrettably so, the battle with the grand-mage was just what he needed. Particularly, it was his final act that secured his survival. An act of desperation that brought him closer to the hands of death.

It was ironic.

If Marya hadn’t gotten to him, nothing would have mattered. But she did and now, he had the chance to experience the side-effects of his reckless move.

Reve began anaylzing his progress.

First, his level had increased. If it was before, he would have gone up by more than ten levels, but that wasn’t the case anymore. From now on, it would be hard to increase his level even if he was a nexus cat.

Next, it was his development in the [Path of Secrets]. He was now at the Star Chaser rank with the title of Voyager, a title which bore similarities to that of Traverser.

After that was his clear change in [Attribute].

Almost all his attributes had developed. Of course, the one with the best development was his Psi-Force. It was now trailing just behind his Mana.

Reve was happy with this development. He would be able to spam more [Force Shields] when in battle. He could also increase its efficiency. He just had to find a way to do so.

Finally, his skills!

Reve now had two new skills. It had been so long since he acquire one that he had forgotten the feeling of excitement that came with it.

[Skill Name: Phantasia

Skill Rank: Unique

Magic Spell/Ki Art Rank: None(Path of Secrets)

Ability:

-> You have unlocked another ability on this dim path

-> As long as the right conditions are right, you are capable of forcibly sending your target into their mindscape.

-> This skill comes with other hidden functions waiting to be discovered      ]

[Skill Name: Banshee

Skill Rank: Unique

Magic Spell/Ki Art Rank: None(Path of Secrets)

Ability:

-> You have unlocked another ability on this dim path

-> Your screams are capable of unleashing a storm that affects both the mental realm and the physical body of your target. Beware, for it comes with a cost.

‘This two skills might not be what I wanted but I can work with them.’

This time, the skills he generated were more of the support type than the last one. However, Reve knew not to underestimate them.

He already got a feeling of what [Banshee] was and it left him in a terrible shape. As for [Phantasia], it would surely come in handy once he masters it.

He could already see himself using it.

‘Hmmm…I now understand why my [Path of Secrets] didn’t seem unique.’

Reve gained an innate sensation when he searched his body. He realized that he had subconsciously viewed his [Path of Secrets] as a secondary path that was as much important as his other path. However, the secret path would only augment his combat prowess.

This was why he was incapable of manifesting his psi-force in the physical world. It only existed in his mind.

Nonetheless, it was a good thing. Reve knew that it was foolish to possess two forms of energy. That was why one could not be a ki-warrior and a mage at the same time. There were exceptions to this notion though.

Psi-force and Magi don’t mix.

While Psi-force originated from his mind. Magi was from the outside world.

His body could not channel both energies. It would lead to a conflict that would be too difficult to reconcile.

‘I reckon that it’s better this way. I don’t need an attack skill, a support one would be better.’

Reve was enlightened.

He had been pursuing the wrong goal all this while.

As soon as he understood this error, his mind was finally free and he felt light.

He then closed all the Nixy windows.

He stared at the ceiling once again.

His bored mind kept going over his battle scene with the grand-mage.

Reve didn’t like to admit it but he was immensely out-classed.

Now, one would think, ‘You are a master mage and he is grand-mage. Of course, you would be outclassed!’

But Reve begged to differ.

He should be capable of defeating opponents superior to him.

However, in the face of the man’s brutish strength and weird ways, he collapsed!

Reve ruminated, ‘Not to talk of his domain’
