Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Corey looked at the five objects which the old man gestured to. They were three skill crystals, a black spear with purple lines and symbols on it and the last was a light grey crystal Corey had never seen before.

Without waiting for Corey to speak or ask questions, the old man spoke:

"One skill crystal has a skill called Foundation Spear Techniques. When I went through your memories, I realized that you were terrible with the spear. Your foundations in using the spear is absolutely terrible. This skill crystal would help you become a better spearman."

Corey hearing the old man's words knew it was true. In using the spear, dagger or even fighting, nobody ever taught Corey how to fight. He was self-taught.

Also, although he had no particular weapon he preferred, he knew he needed a skill crystal like this so as to become better in fighting.

"The second skill crystal has a movement art called Lightning Movement Art. It's a very high level skill so you would need to practice it a lot to master it. It has five sub-skills in them so take your time to master them. Don't rush yourself or overdo it, there are some skills where you'll need to be at a higher tier to learn."

"The third skill crystal has the skill Vibration Manipulation. The skill has potential so make sure you value it. I would love to learn the skill but the skill crystal would just be a waste on the current me."

"The light grey crystal is called a skill evolution crystal. It can be used to make any one of your skills evolve to a better skill."

"As for the last item, well it's a spear as you can see. I found it on a desolate planet along with the Foundation Spear Techniques skill crystal and the vibration manipulation skill crystal.

The spear should have belonged to somebody that was at least as strong as me. I don't use a spear so it's not useful to me.

For you, it should last a very long time as long as you don't misplace it."

Corey looked at the beautiful black spear for a few seconds before he spoke:

"How strong are you by the way?"

Corey knew the old man was strong but he didn't know how strong.

Was he Tier 5? Tier 6? Or higher?

The old man smiled hearing Corey's question then he chuckled.

"I'm a tier 8 being brat, a tier 8."

Corey's looked at the old man with slight shock. He did not know how powerful a tier 8 was but internally he was sighing a breath of relief.

'Thank God the old man is not so cruel.'

Corey thought not knowing that the main reason he was alive was due to him been so weak and also him having a very high talent.

If he did not have a high enough talent, the old man might have trapped him here or killed him to not let word of him been here reach the outside world.

"How many tiers are there? You're tier 8 and you said you're not strong enough to go the Realm Of Paragons, so how many tiers are there? How strong must you be?"

Corey was curious. Normally he wouldn't be curious about things like this but he felt like he should at least know some things about the powers of the universe.

"I can't start explaining everything, just know that I'm not strong enough to reach the Realm Of Paragons. As for how many tiers there are? I know that it's more than 8."

Corey looked at the old man who had a smile with a dead gaze.

'If you don't want to say it or can't say it just say so.' He thought but didn't speak.

The old man chuckled then waved his hand and the black spear flew into his hands.

He performed a series of hand seals which produced black symbols in the air.

'What are those black symbols?'

Corey thought but didn't disturb the old man, he could see the old man was fully concentrated on what he was doing.

A few minutes later, the black symbols which was almost filling up the entire room began to move into the spear.

This lasted for a few seconds before all the black symbols was absorbed by the spear.

Corey looked at the spear wondering what the old man did to it when he noticed that the purple symbols and lines had disappeared making the spear look just like a normal black spear.

Just as he was confused about what happened, the old man spoke.

"I placed seals on the spear. If I didn't, experts and those with discerning eyes would know the spear is a treasure and would kill you for it. Whenever your strength reaches a certain level, you can try to break the seals. It all depends on your ability and strength to break the seals, if you're not strong enough then you'll not be able to destroy the seals."

The old man who looked a little out of breath as he spoke stretched out the spear towards Corey.

Corey didn't know if what the old man did was taxing to him but he hoped he was okay.

Seeing the outstretched spear, Corey took the spear but when he did, he realized that the spear was slightly heavy even with his new strength.

Just as he was trying to adjust to the new spear, he heard the old man speak:

"There's one more thing I have to give you."

The old man opened up his right palm and a grey ring appeared.

"You don't have any concealment methods or techniques to hide your talent and status window, so take this."

The old man stretched out his hand, gesturing for Corey to take the ring and Corey did.

The old man seeing Corey put on the ring continued speaking.

"The ring is a spatial storage ring that can conceal your status window from beings that are up to tier 8. It can also become invisible after you bind it by dropping a drop of your blood on it. When it's invisible, even tier 7 beings won't be able to see it but tier 8 and higher would."

The old man said and Corey quickly brought out the broken Smile Reaper 1.0 from his inventory, pricked his finger and let a drop of blood fall on the ring.

Corey was surprised the next moment when he saw the ring become invisible even to him. Although he could not see it, he could feel it.

The old man seeing Corey's actions continued speaking.

"Also, an advice, don't put the spear or anything you treasure or value in your inventory. The Ancestor's blood and the poison infinity crystal is inside the ring. Never, ever bring out both of them unless you're in an evolution center. Also, make sure you put the All-Father's blood in the spatial ring, never put it in your inventory."

The old man spoke with a serious tone causing Corey to be confused.

"What's wrong with the inventory?" He asked.

"I can't tell you about that. You'll have to ask the ancestor."

Hearing the words of the old man, Corey heaved a tired sigh. He mumbled some inaudible words with a tired expression.

Ignoring Corey's grumbling, the old man spoke once again:

"There's also a million gold coins inside the ring. It's not much but it's what I can give you since I don't have much left."

Corey became stunned hearing the words of the old man.

'A million gold coins?'

'And the old man said it's not much?'

Although Corey did not know if a million gold coins was truly not much but he felt that for somebody like him, it was a lot.

"I didn't give you any high offensive skill because the ones I have, you cannot use them. You're not strong enough and i don't have any weaker one that works for a human."

Corey looked at the old man for a second then he shook his head and spoke:

"I don't know why you're apologizing. You've given me a lot without me paying you anything in return so I can't be ungrateful and start asking for an offensive skill. I'll make do with what I have."

The old man just smiled but didn't reply. A few seconds later, he continued:

"Before I send you off, I need to give you another advice."

Corey looked at the old man, a questioning look on his face.

"The growth type item you have, if you want it to become stronger, feed it the soul stones of the revenants and dark revenants you have. You can also feed it soul stones of any ghost like entity, the better the quality of the soul stone, the faster your ghost gloves would upgrade."

Corey looked at his ghost gloves which he forgot to ask the merchant for information concerning it.

If the old man did not remind him about it, there was a high chance he would have totally forgotten about it since he was not the type to use his hands in combat.

"Thank you so much once again." Bowing his head, Corey thanked the old man once again.

"Just don't die, I'm investing in you alright. If not because of your talent I wouldn't give you such good things."

Although it sounded like the old man did not care, Corey could see a satisfied smile on the old man's face as he stroked his beard.

The old man seeing Corey stare coughed with an embarrassed expression and stopped stroking his beard.

"What are you looking at brat? Absorb the skill crystals and do whatever you need to do and leave this place. I've never been as tired as I am right now ever since I stepped into this planet."

Corey smiled a little seeing the embarrassed expression on the old man then he started absorbing the skill crystals.
