Cosmic Patron System: 100X Return on Every Reward

Just as Reyansh commanded for the next item on the list, a panel popped up with information, it read:

[Would you like to use the Archive?]

"Yes," he immediately agreed after reading the panel.

’It’s good, it will avoid the cluttering between skills I create and skill I copy,’ he remarked internally on the usefulness of this item.

[The Codex of Unwritten Apex is added to your Hunter’s Profile.]

[Would you like to change the name of the Archive?]

"So no pain or no physical appearance, just quietly added to the profile," he smiled slightly.

"Change the name to StarWalker’s Codex, simple," he added.

[The Archive is renamed to StarWalker’s Codex]

’Perfect,’ he nodded.

"Now the last item in phase 3," he mentally commanded as another panel popped up.

[Name: Clarity of the Apex]

3. Better judgment during stress.

[Would you like to use the Clarity of the Apex?]

"Finally, something that enhances Intelligence, rest of my stats are either in A or S level now. Let’s hope the Intelligence stat increase noticeably and another trait is just cherry on top. Yes," he agreed.

The moment after he accepted, a substance with flame like appearance, whitish in color appeared. There was no flicker or any visible instability.

The flame moved at a normal speed, not for the centre of his chest or navel area but toward the brain. He had already expected that, so it merged quietly into his brain.

The next second, he felt something was soothing his mind. After this overload due to instinct and turmoil due to his sister’s state, he could feel it more clearly than ever.

His agitated mind started to calm down as he felt his thinking process sped up. Even with this enhanced speed, he felt like he was in a still pond.

The process didn’t last long as the sensation settled down in few seconds. A notification panel appeared with confirmation.

[Your Intelligence has increased to S (lvl 1)]

[You have gained a Trait, Clear Mind.]

Feeling a bit relaxed experiencing the effects on the trait, he exhaled and settled himself in his bed comfortably.

"Now, onto the final phase," after taking a moment, he commanded further.

A notification panel manifested with information, it read:

[Name: Veil of Last Threshold]

[Type: Armor]

[Rank: Epic (Evolvable)]

[Description: An Invisible protective layer that prevents fatal damage]

[Effects:]

1. Negates fatal damage from Epic rank and below skills, techniques (same mana core rank as host).

2. Reduces lethality of higher rank attacks & prioritizes survivability in critical moments.

[Would you like to bind the Armor to you?]

"Hmm...first thing that is not actually at Mythical rank, that makes it even more interesting." He remarked and agreed, "Yes."

A transparent sphere appeared in response and moved towards him without wasting a second. As his perception started to return to normal, he sensed an immense energy in that glass sphere.

Just as the sphere touched his chest, it began covering his skin surface at a rapid pace. Within a minute, Reyansh could feel a thin layer of energy covering his every part of body.

He suddenly felt like he had a connection with it, allowing him to control it at will. The notification panel, confirmed his sensation.

[Last Veil of Threshold is bound to you forever.]

"It’s completely weightless, if it was attached to my body when I am unconscious, I wouldn’t have been able to catch on easily. I am barely sensing it now, when it is practically glued to my skin."

This fascinated him to some extent, he tried using his perception to figure out the content of the layer. However, he couldn’t get anything important.

’This just feels energy to me, it’s not even mana exactly. It is also not blocking my perception or my sense of touch.’ He stated.

’It’s like it is there and not there at the same time,’ he remarked.

He closed his eyes and tried to control the layer. Though he couldn’t identify the energy behind it, he could control it easily. With his mental command, he could move the layer accordingly.

"A good reassurance, let’s move to last item of this package," he commanded.

A notification panel popped up in response.

[Name: Sigil of Bound Arsenal]

[Type: Weapon]

[Rank: Elite (Evolvable)]

[Description: A weapon bound to soul, capable of taking any usable forms.]

[Effects:]

1. Transforms into any weapon without any delay.

2. Indestructible

3. Evolves with host and gain abilities according to combat style of host.

[Would you like to bind the Sigil to you?]

"A weapon at last," a genuine smile bloomed on his face.

"Yes," he agreed.

Followed by his agreement, a slight burn started on the inner side of his right forearm. He focused on the area in pain, he could slowly see lines appearing, forming a triangular tattoo.

After going through multitudes of pain, this was just a slight sting to him. As the lines grew and became easily visible, he sensed a connection forming with the tattoo.

This connection was more like a switch to him. Just as the tattoo design was completed, it appeared in form of a minimalist geometric sigil with thin interlocking lines forming a shifting triangular loop.

It didn’t give any aura or energy just a sense that it is there. He brushed his fingers on the tattoo, it felt like it was always there, embedded in skin and more intrinsically connected.

He thought of the Katana he had used in last dungeon to try out its effectiveness. Just as he thought, a long sheathed Katana with dark blue handle appeared in his hand.

From the outer appearance, it looked exactly like the Katana he had broken earlier, the only difference was the perfect weight balance of the weapon.

He unsheathed it, the blade came out a sharp sound, signalling its sharpness. He looked at his tattoo again, the lines had become thin and faded.

With katana on one hand and sheath in another, he immediately thought of the long handled dagger. Immediately, the sheath turned into the dagger, bringing a smile on his face.

"Well, damn. A true starter pack, huh? Now, the only reason I have to go to Hunter’s Market is to sell the mana stones and other dungeon rewards." He contemplated as he swing both Katana and dagger, feeling the balanced weight and easy grip.

He tried every type of weapon he had ever laid his hands on. The shape changed from axe, broadsword, shield, spear, etc. Every weapon fit perfectly in his hands.

Satisfied with the weapon, he mentally rescinded the weapons back as the tattoo regained it early appearance. He slumped back into the bed as he finished with starter package.

He checked the time, he had around 3 hours before daybreak. After thinking for a minute, he decided to take a much needed nap after this grueling process and settle his thoughts down before going on a dungeon run tomorrow.

’Tomorrow, I really will be a changed StarWalker,’ he remembered the words of Sandra as he dozed off.
