Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

"The blessing comes with multiple benefits and powers. What else did you receive?"

Hearing that question, Arkhen revealed a confused expression and shook his head. "I didn't receive anything else aside from this power of force-field and knowledge of martial arts."

"That makes sense since he directly received a fundamental boost. He didn't get skills, but got raw power boost and a superpower."

"Jin and Tang, we need to find records of this Li Kong."

"We can try, but there were also many secluded masters in the world who only focused on self-improvement and abandoned worldly desires. They must have ascended without leaving their trace in the world."

"So you mean this Li Kong might be one of them?"

"Highly possible. We already have records of eight people receiving blessings of unknown figures that we couldn't find records even after searching."

The ten people discussed internally for a few minutes before everyone turned silent and looked at Arkhen.

"Arkhen, you can go now. There will be a person waiting outside and he will take you to a skill selection library. Pick a skill of your choice and work hard," the monk said with a kind smile.

'That's it?' Arkhen was internally dumbfounded. 'Oh well, whatever. I'll stir the pot later.'

Arkhen left the hall, but after he left, someone exclaimed.

"Wait, don't we need to take his blood and track him like others?" the woman in her early thirties with curly silver hair asked confusedly.

"Oh, that? Hahaha, that's just bullshit we created to tell the governments. Do you think we would really track tens of thousands of people and infringe their location twenty-four seven?"

"Emily, you are new to the council and haven't been part of any ancient clan, so you don't know the full picture. This is only known to the upper echelon of the academy. Don't spill it outside."

"Then how do we find if superhumans commit crimes?" Emily asked as she frowned.

"There are many other better ways to track people and investigate. AX is causing mayhem right now, but he is not harming innocents, so we are ignoring him. If he caused needless destruction or became an obstruction in our plan, we can track him."

"Indeed, the ancient clans have sufficient powerful items and various superpowers. That aside, did you decide which clan you want to join?"

"Emily, you have also received a blessing from the unknown, called Silver Tempest, and we don't know even know what kind of figure is that. The power you got from this blessing is overwhelming, to say the least. So, join a clan who is part of the academy and gain a pillar of support."

"Yes, if your power was found by other ancient clans who are not part of the academy, they might go after you."

"I am still thinking," Emily said indifferently.

...

On the other hand, Arkhen followed the man into a small library filled with scrolls.

"I can choose any?" Arkhen asked as he looked at the man.

"Indeed," the man said with a smile.

"Is there only this library or there are more?"

"There's one more. The skills here are not distinguished, but the skills in other libraries are distinguished and all of them are powerful. You need to contribute to enter that library."

"I see," Arkhen nodded before he looked at the shelves. He went to the Uni energy shelf since he needed a skill that utilized uni-energy.

He picked up a random scroll and opened it to see the method of using the skill, which explained how you need to control your primal energy, and how to weave it, and there was a symbol that gave a profound feeling. It seems that he needed to learn an intent from that symbol to transform his primal energy into the form of this skill.

"There are no ranks written," Arkhen muttered.

"Ranks?" the man standing beside Arkhen repeated before shaking his head. "As I said, the skills here are not distinguished. No ranks."

'Velshi, can you find the best skill of primal energy in this library?'

[The strongest one is the 4th scroll on the 2nd row of the shelf. I can directly use the scroll and put its knowledge in your head by spending 560 reality points]

'Damn, that's expensive. But do it after I leave the library,' Arkhen said before asking. 'Which is the second strongest?'

[7th row, 9th scroll]

Arkhen picked up the scroll suggested by Velshi and opened it.

[Flame Explosives]

"I choose this," Arkhen said as he picked up the scroll.

"Alright, you can take it," the man nodded before he gestured for Arkhen to leave the library first.

After Arkhen left the library, the man also left and locked it. "You are free to go now, Mr. Arkhen."

Arkhen started walking towards the base of the headquarter where Zoe and others were waiting. 'Learn that strongest skill now.'

[560 reality points deducted. Congratulations on obtaining the S-rank skill, Wind Fury Orbs]

<Wind Fury Orbs>

-Rank: S

-Type: Pure offense-type skill

-Effect: You can conjure mini whirling orbs of sharp wind of destructive damage. The target hit by a whirling orb will also receive a heavy pushing impact, along with sharp, shredding damage.

'This is nice,' Arkhen nodded as he was satisfied with this skill. 'Expensive but fine. Anyway, I have reached my goal of getting over twenty thousand reality points. But I will still need more to go through the plan, right?'

[Indeed. Reality points will never be enough, my lord. You will have many of them as you become stronger. Just to upgrade the system to level 2, you need 100,000 reality points]

'Sigh. Oh well, I'll gather it somehow. Anyway, compile me the details of the skill scroll that I put in the inventory.'

<Flame Explosives>

-Rank: A

-Type: Trigger-type offense skill

-Effect: You can create and put a flame explosive in various places, a maximum of five. These explosives will blast after 10 to 30 seconds, depending on your execution of the skill.

'Tsk, sounds useless but might get handy someday. Niche skill,' Arkhen clicked his tongue.
