"Yes..." Cohen muttered, before exclaiming louder, "Yes!"
The rooms here were fairly soundproof, so Ceha could barely hear such a happy yell.
He reread the Event information again, excitement bubbling in his chest.
"That being... I guess it tried to keep to its word about saving my mother. How cute," he laughed. "This is better than nothing. Thanks, sun being!"
Cohen focused on the coordinates, his internal map immediately activating.
"That’s Central. Of course the clue is somewhere in the nexus of the world. The problem is... one can’t reach the Nexus easily, especially from this damned isolated city.
"But..."
Cohen then scrolled back up to his Talent and Class, a wide grin telling his gladness.
"But now, I can gain the power and authority of higher-level guild officials with this and reach Central. That should me my primary way for now."
He looked at the [Mythic] beside his Class name.
"The highest disclosed Class Tier is legendary and I have a Mythic Class. This alone..."

Class: Priest of Primordial
Tier: Mythic
Class Description: In the age when Primordials walked the world, a Priest of Primordial stood at their vanguard—a warrior granted divine power directly by the Primordial God to fight, lead, and pioneer on their behalf.
Class Skills:
[Gate of the Baptised: Through it, the Baptised can be sent from the world into a separate space and called forth from it at will. It can only be deployed in your surroundings. No mana cost.]
’What are Baptised?’ he wondered, not putting much thought in it because he knew he’d figure it out. ’It’s a skill that doesn’t use Mana, that’s OP enough!’
The next skill immediately caught Cohen’s attention.
Cohen knew more about Aura than most abilities. It was a common art that people trained for years to master.
Which made the fact that his Aura came as a system skill—not a learned Combat Art—even more unbelievable.
[Null Aura: The aura wielded by Primordials, and the strongest of its kind. A constant presence that envelops the body and anything directly linked to it. It carries a quality of intent, responding to instinct rather than conscious direction and adapting fluidly mid-battle.]
’This... people spend years learning to move their Aura, and mine moves on my thoughts alone?’
Cohen couldn’t help but chuckle as he continued reading.
[Perception of Grays: Within a 20 meter radius, you are aware of the space around you. To enhance the passive version to be aware of all corners, concentrate and use mana.]
’I guessed that awakening was responsible for my heightened senses. I just didn’t think it was a skill! I like this one!’
As Cohen read the skills, he had thought of one or two applications for them, sparking an interesting idea. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
’If I enter a dungeon, I might be able to detect hidden rooms if I use it appropriately. Hehe, awakening really does bring opportunity.’
Cohen went to his last skill.
[I Am Null: As one of the Nulls, you can radiate pressure that physically weighs on everything within a 10-meter radius.]
’This is another combat art that can only be used at high levels, but I have it as a skill.
’This is indeed Mythic. I can’t help but wonder how many stats I obtain per level up. I hear the Legendary class grants about 7-8 stats points per level.’
He shifted his attention to his Talent.

Talent: Baptism
Rank: SSS
Description: The highest level of Baptism in the world which converts one’s faith and existence to the Path of Primordial. You can now convert living beings into Primordials at the cost of Null Points.
Null Points: 4500
[Obtain 500NP/day. Can also be obtained through items that originate from the domain of the Primordial.]

’Null, Primordial, Baptised. They should all mean the same thing. So, it’s the converted that goes into the Gates, huh?’
Cohen didn’t know the extent of this ability yet, but he trusted the SSS rating of the System.
’Rumors of S and SS talents have spread too. I can’t believe I now have the highest-tier Talents.
’And The Primordial said there are more.’
He thought of the reward of his Personal Event at that. The key that led to what Cohen thought was a dungeon.
A dungeon all to himself. If he cleared it, the rewards would be unimaginable.
He would be rich!
’But the dungeon would likely be dangerous. Right, it did say I was going to face something...’
What could those be? Cohen wondered.
Is it the natural ’law’ that says stronger people enter stronger dungeons and face stronger monsters?
Is it the idea that for Cohen to earn more power, he needed to enter different trials?
Or is it the one Cohen read in novels, when he was younger, where people would come after him for his power?
Cohen laughed and said to the skies, as if The Primordial was still watching:
"I once assisted in taking down an uncommon monster as an unawakened and I’ve cut through carcasses of Rare monsters.
"A little bit of danger hasn’t stopped me, and no ounce of sorrow will slow me down."
The words solidified the philosophy he had always lived by.
This time, Ceha seemed to have heard him as she knocked and yelled,
"Oi, workhorse. Stop yelling and prepare for tomorrow! It’s already past midnight. You have a long day tomorrow."
Only then did Cohen realize that he had spent over an hour absorbed in understanding his new abilities.
’Shit. I need to reach the grounds early so I should sleep now!’
"Sorry for yelling, and thanks for the heads up!" he said, standing up to pack his bag.
The translucent window faded, but the weight of its promise remained in Cohen’s chest.
