199 First Seal

Randy had prepared himself to learn about the system’s reward for completing his first quest, and initially, he thought that the quest reward was simply a way to unseal the items that he had acquired by defeating or killing people in the past.

However, what the system has displayed in front of his eyes was beyond his expectation. As he read through the words on the projected screen in front of himself, he was slightly speechless.

[[From now on, the system would inform the host of the requirement to unseal the black tome that the host has acquired recently]]

“The reward is how to unseal the black tome?” Randy muttered in a daze.

[[That’s right]] The system confirmed his doubts.

“I thought it would be one of the things that I took out, but surprisingly, it’s about that black tome, huh?” Randy muttered in surprise. Although surprised, there was also a hint of excitement that was discernible from his voice as he spoke. He had acquired this black tome from Miss Feng’s magic shop for a cheap price, considering the description of the black tome at the time.

Without bothering to ponder too much, Randy took out the black tome from his storage bracelet and then stared at the thick black tome, which looked almost like a box or a block of carved wood with engravings on the cover.

This black tome was quite unassuming to the point that anyone who saw it at first glance would think it was not anything valuable enough to consider staring at it for even a second longer.

But that was not the case for Randy who obtained this black tome. Because with the help of his upgraded system, he was able to discern the true value of this black tome, and thus, he purchased it purposefully for that reason and not because even he thought it was valuable.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

.....

At this point, Randy recalled the description that he received from his system back when he first discovered this ancient black tome.

...

[[Attention!]]

[[Discovered the Ancient Black Tome of an Arch Sorcerer!]]

‘Ancient Black Tome and an Arch Sorcerer? What is an Arch Sorcerer?’

[[Displaying the analyzed and relevant information from the ancient black tome]]

[[This ancient black tome was once used by an Arch Sorcerer whose true name and identity have been hidden by the universal laws. They wield supernatural powers enough to rival the gods within their world and trample upon the many lives within their world. This ancient black tome contained the crystallized results of numerous research conducted by the Arch Sorcerer in their attempt to discover the truth of the universe as a whole. Most of their achievement has been recorded in this ancient black tome. Unfortunately, before they could utilize their discoveries, they ended up killed in a world-shattering battle against unknown invaders in their world]]

[[However, before the Arch Sorcerer died, even among the heartless sorcerers in their world they were considered one of the most wicked, ruthless, and evil humans in existence since most of their achievements resulted in the loss of countless living beings in their world. Even the gods in their world were opposed to their actions, and most of the time, they were engaged in countless battles against the gods due to that. But when the invaders of unknown origin, who wielded strange and unheard-of powers and abilities, came to their world, the gods of their world desperately fought against those invaders in their attempt to protect their world, which ended up in their deaths]]

[[After the unknown invaders killed the gods of their world, the Arch Sorcerer stood at the frontline to fight off the invaders. However, the Arch Sorcerer ultimately lost after being overwhelmed in both combat and numbers. Before the Arch Sorcerer died, they ripped the void of space and time with their remaining power before death and then sent their entire life’s achievements and accomplishments through the barrier between dimensions, only for it wander aimlessly before ending up in an unknown dimension. Which caused the current state of this ancient black tome]]

[[Furthermore, they placed highly complicated seals one after another on the ancient black tome beforehand to prevent anyone from being able to undo the seal for an unknown reason. At the moment, only by using a specific method would one be able to undo the seals placed on the ancient black tome. And the only method devised by the system was through using [???] and following a certain procedure before one could attempt to undo the numerous seals]

[[Moreover, the seals placed the ancient black tome can only be removed layer by layer, which also corresponded to the number of chapters within the ancient black tome]]

‘That’s a lot of details, don’t you think?’ Randy complained slightly when he saw the many texts that filled his entire vision.

Although he complained about the many texts, he still carefully read through them all as he stood beside Miss Feng with a pondering expression. After all, these lines of text gave a very detailed description of the ancient black tome that even people like Miss Feng’s boss could not discern despite their overwhelming strength and countless means.

After reading through it all, Randy realized that there was a missing word in the description given by the system. But Randy did not think much about it and only thought that perhaps it was some sort of requirement that he had yet to meet, and until then, he would buy this ancient black tome and keep it for himself rather than let it rot away in Miss Feng’s shop. After all, there is always hope in the future.

‘System, what is a sorcerer? Are they like a magician or something else?’ Randy curiously asked.

[[A sorcerer is one who practiced the sorcery profession. The sorcery profession is an advanced profession that wielded the supernatural powers within their world and eventually within other realms within the universe. Some of the supernatural powers they wielded included elemental powers, mental powers, soul powers, and many other powers related to the comprehension of laws, which classified them as close to the strongest immortal cultivators when it comes to their means and methods]]

‘Oh, is that so?’

Randy responded as if he understood, but in actuality, he was unsure what the system meant as he had not witnessed these two professions before to compare or understand them. But he could tell that a sorcerer was somewhat different from a magician who mostly wielded elemental powers based on what the system had stated.

...

Back to the present.

With his thoughts now straightened after recalling the events back then, Randy’s expression was now solemn as he spoke: “System, so what is this requirement needed to unseal the first seal placed on the ancient black tome?”

[[The host only needed to spend some of the divine points that he has harvested from the soul of his enemies, and the system would take care of undoing the first seal of the ancient black tome]]

‘Divine points? It’s this thing again. Wait a second!’

At this point, when Randy heard the system’s explanation, a realization suddenly dawned on him, and he thought that perhaps the missing word from the earlier description of the ancient black tome seemed to be related to this ‘divine points’.

Right away, Randy proceeded to ask right away: “System, what is this divine points thing? And what does it do exactly?”

[[The divine points is the origin power of the souls of all living beings that existed within the universe. In other words, the soul power of any living being in a quantified form, which was universally known as ‘divine points’. Whenever living beings die, their soul power, in other words, their divine points would dissipate and become part of their world’s laws]]

[[As for the uses of the divine points, there are many. For example, the host could use the divine points to replace knowledge points to comprehend skills and techniques or use them as an energy source to conduct any skill and technique or replace the constraints of different energy sources like magical energy, spiritual energy, and life energy]]

[[However, using divine points is akin to using one’s soul power and thus could lead to a decrease in the user’s life expectancy if the user depletes all of their soul power. Furthermore, without a technique or means to cultivate one’s soul, the recovering of your expended soul power or divine points would take a considerably long time]]

[[Moreover, the capacity of one’s soul was closely related to how strong one was, and therefore, if one had less soul power or divine points, they would instantly die from overusing it. Thus, it is recommended not to use one’s soul power unless they had a method to recover them]]

[[However, the host does not need to worry as the system has the means to store more divine points than the host’s soul could hold, as the remaining divine points would be stored by the system’s storage. Therefore, as long as the host defeats living beings with souls in the future, their divine points would be harvested by the system for the host’s use]]

During the entire process of reading through the explanation given, Randy’s expression had changed a few times, from shocked to stupefied, from stupefied to dumbfounded, and then finally from dumbfounded to relief when the system finished its explanation.

That was because he thought that using the divine points was a detriment to his life when he read through the first few lines of texts, but after reading through the latter part of the explanation, he soon relaxed his expression and calmed down shortly after.
