Guardian Of The End

Once Jason had appeared in the normal world, he checked his system points before buying the book from the system shop.

< Do you want to purchase this item for 500 system points? >

'Yes.'

< Guidebook has been bought. To read the details of the book, please access it through your status page. >

Once Jason had read the words written on the system window, he opened his status page and saw a new option being present there.

Upon clicking the option, a contents list opened in front of Jason.

---

Basic world information(Ranks included)

World Formation(locked)

Mortals ascended to godhood(locked)

---

'Classic move to have most of the things locked.' Jason mused before choosing the only option available to him.

A holographic book suddenly popped up in front of Jason's face as it automatically flipped open to the first page.

"Clover is classified as a black ranked world meaning that it's extremely dangerous and also has other realms interconnected with it. The main feature of Clover is its guardian systems.

It could also be referred to as power borrowing system." Jason read aloud before scanning the rest of the details visible on the page.

He soon realized that he knew most of the information written on the pages and didn't need to read them again.

After skimming through a few pages, Jason finally reached the part he was most interested in.

"The spells in Clover are classified into six tiers." He read aloud before staring at the rest of the details present on the tiers.

---

Tier 0 magic: Basic magic that almost anyone with mana can use.

- Those who can use these spells are called practitioners [F rank for monsters]

- Requires at least an E grade magical affinity with any element.

Tier 1 magic or spells/skills: slightly complicated magic like fireball or water gun for example.

- Requires verbal or non-verbal chanting with mana input varying with size, hotness/coldness, etc.

- Requires an E-D grade magical affinity with any element.

- Those who can use this are called mages(for all elements except supreme ones)

- Power grade: Bronze [D rank for monsters]

- Rank: Tier 1 Mage or simply a mage

Tier 2 magic or spells/skills: More complicated magic like fire tornado or water cyclone for example.

- Requires verbal/non-verbal chanting and if you are a new learner of this, hands signs with a fixed mana input, no matter what the external output is.

- Requires a C grade affinity at least

- Power grade: Between Silver < Gold [C < B]

- Rank: Tier 2 mage or true mage

---

Jason read the details excitedly before looking at the power grade. He decided to first find the power rankings before reading the details on the rest of the tiers.

---

Power ranks for both humans/humanoids on Clover as well as the beasts on Clover:

Practitioners = F rank

Bronze = D rank

Silver = C rank

Gold = B rank

Ruby = A rank

Sapphire = S rank

Emerald = SS rank

Diamond = SSS rank

Black = Myriad

---

'After waiting for so long, I finally have all the details I needed to know!' Jason thought happily.

He realized that the ranks were decided by the tier of spell or skill a person or beast could use, at least that was true for the magical rankings.

[ Host, the system has now assigned all of your skills and spells. You can check them later on while also being able to see your rank on the status screen. ]

'Thank you for informing about that system.' Jason replied before reading the details on the remaining three tiers.

Though it induced a slight headache, Jason had to read all of this information as it was very important for the future.

---

Tier 3 magic or spells: More complex magic like using life element for bone regeneration or using fire to form an armor or cover a certain area.

- The same as tier 2 plus supreme mana control

- Requires a B grade affinity at least

- Power grade: Ruby [A]

- Rank: Tier 3 mage or grand mage

Tier 4 magic or spells/skills: Includes things like regrowing internal body parts, controlling dragons of fire or water, summoning lightning storms etc.

- The same as tier 3 plus magic circle if required

- Requires an A grade affinity

- Power grade: Sapphire [S]

- Tier 4 mage or Archmage

Tier 5 magic or spells/skills: Things like multiple lightning storms or creating a nuclear explosion.

- The same as tier 4

- Requires an S grade talent

- Power grade: Emerald < Diamond [SS < SSS]

- Tier five mage or Ascension mage

Tier 6 magic: The strongest magic out there

- Unknown

- Requires a Z grade affinity

- Power: Black[Myriad for beasts(demi-god stage)]

- Demigod

After the huge info dump had been read, Jason felt sleep inching closer. He was tired by the amounts of detail he had gotten but also excited to use this information later on.

'This should unlock the ranking column when using inspect, right?' Jason inquired as he remembered seeing three question marks instead of the creature's ranks.

[ Yes, its unlocked now. Also, you look a bit sleepy… ] The system commented.

Jason indeed looked sleep since he was tired by the events of the day.

'I will read the rest of the things tomorrow.' He thought silently before making the holograph vanish with a single thought.

The next thing he did was to open his status and access his skills to see their ranks.

Surprisingly, none of the skills belonging to his Child of Darkness job class had any rankings in front of them.

[ Its because those skills are directly handed to you by Erebus and couldn't be ranked in this world due to them not being present here. ] The system informed as Jason moved on.

The next in line was his thunder mage job class.

'Lightning bolt is only tier one skill?' Jason asked with a surprised expression as he had thought that lightning bolt would at least fall under tier two due to its destructive power.

[ The tiers are divided on the basis of complication first and power second. Lightning bolt is the first skills lightning mages learn similarly to how fire mages learn fireball as their first skill. ] The system explained.

Jason, feeling too sleepy to argue, looked at his lightning steps skills.

Despite the amount of mana it took him to use the skill, it was only classified as tier 2 skill.

'System, what about that thunder release I had done during my match with Amber?'

[ That isn't classified as a skill as is more of an ability. You can use it freely and in any form your want with varying mana input. But if it was a skill, it would've likely been tier 3 or higher. ]

'I guess the same applies to the different types of lightning.' Jason observed as he saw that Hestia's gift didn't appear under the thunder mage job class.

It was instead present under the guardian section. Jason then looked at his passive 'lightning reflexes' skill to find out that it was a tier 1 skill as well.

Disappointed by that, he shifted to the last job class he had. Both of the skills he had as a dark mage were tier 2 skills.

Jason's overall rating was Gold(B rank) due to how lethal his skills could be. Jason didn't know whether that was considered good or bad but the only way of knowing it was to ask someone else.

'Maybe tomorrow.' Jason stifled a yawn before snuggling inside the sheets again. He was asleep in under a minute as the system sighed.

[ Good night host. ] It said regardless.

Jason had a dreamless sleep that night and was awoken by Alfred the next morning, at least Jason thought it was morning.

[It's one in the afternoon. ] The system informed as Jason groggily sat up.

He was about to tell Alfred that he was going to sleep for a few more hours yet realizing that it was already afternoon, Jason decided to get ready for the day.

Once he was done with his daily things, Alfred once again appeared in his room and informed him that Risa and Issac were waiting for him in the former's room.

Jason exited the room with a smile as he was ready to tell the story to Issac and Risa.

'Maybe spending an hour inside the bathroom to think of a believable story was the right idea.'

[ Why don't you tell them the truth? ]

'Remember what Erebus told me last night?' Jason suddenly asked.

[ That someone is always watching you. ] The system quoted.

'Yes, that's what he said. I thought about it for a while and realized that there are many  ways for someone to listen to what was happening. I don't want anyone  knowing that I have a literal goddess inside me.'

[ More like an ex-goddess. ] The system corrected.

'Ex-goddess or not, we both saw how she was able to use that divine attack on Hecate. If someone realizes that I can do such things, they will hundred percent try to make me side with them.'

[ Once again, you are ten years old and should be more worried about socializing. ] The system sighed.  [ But I guess you are just not like others. Let's see where we end up in a few years. ]

'At least I won't be lonely.' Jason pointed out with a grin before opening Risa's door and stepping inside.

"You feeling all right Jason?" Risa immediately asked as Jason closed the door behind him.

"I am fine after a long rest." He replied with a smile as Risa sighed in relief.

"Then are you ready to tell us about what happened yesterday?" Issac inquired as Jason took a deep breath.

"Yes, I am ready."
