Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 108 Daring To Appraise A God?!



[Now to explain this.

Let's use the Dragon lord as an example. A thousand years ago, she was barely level three hundred, yet even a thousand years later, she still hasn't reached level 1000 even with how ridiculously easy the 'law of Knowledge's devour class system' made it to advance in power.

What do you think is the reason?]

Upon hearing her question, Evan thought about it and found that it was indeed very strange. The fact that none of 'the Five' was over level 950 was something he had come to accept as natural, but he never stopped to think about why they hadn't gotten any stronger.

"The experience needed to level up at such a high level is exponentially higher than that of lower levels, especially after level 500."

It was Pride who spoke up and Artemisia nodded in affirmation to her answer, without waiting for Evan to even raise a question, she continued.

[If the experience points were quantified and shown to you in figures, at such a high level, they'd need experience in the billions to even move up a single level. The problem is, where are they going to get said experience points from?]

The goddess' second question finally made things clearer to Evan and Eliza who were a bit slow on the uptake.

For Evan, Aidos online always had monsters at every corner that players could kill to level up, hence, reaching level 1000 was very easy in game.

Even if the monsters died, they could just respawn.

However, reality was a lot different.

There was no respawning for the monsters, once they were killed, it was over.

It also was not easy for monsters to reach such a high level of existence as they had to kill fellow monsters and humans to level up and get stronger.

And for the monsters, killing humans always yielded more experience points than the seven heroes' experience multiplier did. It was the same for anyone who killed a being of a different race.

Even so, the experience multiplier was useless if the existence being killed was at a low level.

This was the problem that not only 'The Five' but every other high levelled existence in Aidos faced.

Lack of existences to kill in order to level up.

[You would eventually face that problem, hence I decided to construct something special for you. I called it a 'Tower of Trials'.]

"Tower of Trials?"

[Yes, simply put, its a challenge.

There are multiple floors in the tower, and each floor has ten chambers. Upon entering, you are to clear all ten chambers of each floor and the monsters I place within are stronger the deeper into the tower you go.

With your experience multiplier and a constant amount of monsters to kill, you should face little barriers in leveling up.]

Artemisia explained to Evan with a proud look on her face, feeling satisfied at having created such a convenient system for Evan.

Evan on the other hand, felt that the Tower was indeed convenient for him. He was about to thank Artemisia for it when he suddenly realised on major problem.

'She only told me about the good sides, and everything always has a bad side.'

He narrowed his eyes at the goddess who had fished out cookies from heaven knows where and was silently munching on them before asking.

"So, this 'Tower of trials'..."

[What about it?]

"Are there any extra information is should know before hand?"

Artemisia placed her hand to her chin, her face revealing a pensive look while Pride gave Evan a satisfied smile.

'There's no way this woman made that 'Tower' without adding anything fishy.'

[Well, they're not really important things.

Just that stuff like recovery & enhancement potions or drugs of any kind don't work inside there. Also, once you begin challenging a floor, you can't leave until you clear all ten chambers of it or die.

That's about it.]

"THOSE ARE VERY IMPORTANT THINGS!!!"

Evan screamed at the top of his lungs as soon as Artemisia was done with her words, he could not believe that this goddess considered his life and death to not be important.

[Its not that I don't think they are important, its just that I felt you should already know how to 'Not Die' when fighting waves of monsters.

Didn't you finish that challenge in the game?]

Evan only silently glared at the goddess who seemed not to understand why he was annoyed in the first place despite just having read his thoughts.

[Well, look on the bright side. The Tower can help you train your skills and abilities to the best you can.]

Hearing the oblivious goddess' words, Evan facepalmed while heaving a sigh of exasperation.

◇ ◇ ◇

The trio of mortals and one goddess discussed a few more matters of lesser importance before Artemisia began getting ready to leave, with Bishop Amelie's body of course. She claimed she had a few more things to do on Aidos before returning to her realm.

[Since I'm here, I might as well just use this body to deal with everything else.]

The goddess shrugged her shoulders as she thought of the entrance to the 'tower of trials' which she was working on moments before Evan entered into the church.

She was discussing a new way of applying Eliza's flower cannon skill with the fifteen-year-old girl when Evan had a sudden thought.

'It should work since she's in a mortal's body, right?'

He gazed at the goddess with his gray eyes as the crest of Mimicry within them glowed golden, his appraisal skill activating the moment after.

**BZZTT!!

As soon as Evan's vision glitched, he had one thought.

'Ah, I think I kinda fucked up.'

The next moment, Eliza let out a scream as Evan's left eye suddenly started bleeding, with tears of blood dripping from one side of his right eye.

"W-wa-what on Aidos is going on?!"

The young girl screamed in surprise as she reflexively activated her healing magic to try and heal Evan, only to find out that it was not working.

"It couldn't be...?"

She remembered this kind of thing happening before with Laurene when the latter told her a bit about the meaning of the crest in her eyes.

Eliza was about to ask Evan what he did when Artemisia's voice tinged with a bit of shock rang out beside her.

[You...? Did you just try...to use your appraisal skill on me?]

Knowing that he had been found out, Evan nodded in affirmation, to which Artemisia's clicked her tongue in annoyance.

[Are you stupid? What did you think would come out of daring to appraise a god?

A mere Master level existence like you.]

One could notice traces of anger in the normally calm Artemisia's voice.

[Among all three of you in this room, you, who is the least qualified to even dream about appraising me dares to do so?

You're not even remotely close to forming your 'Ultimate Seed' and you thought it would be wise to do such a thing.]

Artemisia then spent the next few minutes scolding Evan for attempting something stupid before healing his eyes and scolding him some more.

Meanwhile, Pride who heard the words 'Ultimate Seed' from Artemisia's mouth, could not help but remember the last time she heard that word from someone.

'It's been more than a thousand years since then, huh.'

Ruined City Outskirts

Unknown Country

Unknown Planet

Year 9958 of the 50th General Calendar

A field of grasses stretched as far as the eye could see. A moderate yellow green colour that was lighter and stronger than average moss green.

The short height if this lawn showed that it was frequently maintained and the blooming flowers at regular intervals were enough to enlighten one as to what time of the year it was.

A young woman of average height and slim build with fair skin and long black hair that spilled over her shoulders and down to her waist plucked off a rose flower and gazed at it with her large piercing red eyes.

In her other hand was a blank labelled blue book, its cracked spines showing just how much this book had been read over and over.

On the back of her right palm was a crest, one that consisted of a sword inscribed in a circle.

Her outfit consisted of a long black turtleneck shirt and similarly coloured trousers over black military boots.

She dropped the rose on the floor sat down on the ground beside it, opening the book and flipping through the pages at a casual pace.

This young woman was reading the book in her hands peacefully, until her surroundings suddenly changed to something else.

The verdant green field transformed into a vast wasteland, like a wide valley surrounded by cliffs everywhere and the once clear blue sky was now dyed in an ominous red colour.

Nevertheless, this young woman paid this no mind as she casually flipped the pages of the book in her hands, as if the change in surroundings was not surprising, to say the least.
