The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

It has been three weeks since the Wolf Tribe had begun expanding themselves at great numbers. And likewise six weeks till Damien and Juliette went on their journey.

The Gray couple had stayed behind, and watched over their growth. While deciding to take out a few wolves while they were at it.

And the numbers of wolves they had killed, regardless of strength or level, surpassed ten thousand. It could have been greater than that, but unfortunately, the wolves had completely retreated.

They stopped even coming out to scout their territories. Every team would be wiped out regardless. Hence it was useless.

But the ones to suffer more were the Gray Couple. Without the wolves coming out, they did not dare go inside themselves. That was a suicidal mission even to them.

"So, what now? We just stand here and hope some more puppies come?" David complained in dissatisfaction, sitting atop the head of his giant hammer.

It was planted down on the ground like a tree, the handle being the base. Esther sat besides him on the hammer and did not respond.

"..."

David did not seem to mind her silence, and kept complaining about the wolves. "Aren't they supposed to be vengeful beasts? We've killed a lot of their friends and families."

"Why aren't they attacking us? Fuck, why are they even retreating? Some wolves they are. What a disappointment." He did not stop. Esther continued to ignore him.

Her focus was on a different matter altogether. Today, the wolves from the two other Strongholds of this Cardinal direction were coming. That being said, millions of wolves would be arriving here around today.

That was the only way they could get the chance to attack wolves in the long run. Problem being that, the coming wolves were more in quantity, and less in quality due to doing nothing but running here for a month.

While the wolves here were less in quantity and more in quality, due to cultivating day in, day out. So the question stands; which group was worth attacking?

'I'd lean more on the coming wolves.' She thought, and brought the matter to David. He stopped complaining, and smiled brightly at the suggestion.

"We can finally fight?" He asked, and Esther nodded back at him. "Yes. I figured since my man is battle hungry, I'll also have to be battle hungry."

"Oh?" His smile got even more daring, but held himself back. The urge to smack her with a kiss was carefully suppressed. "I also think attacking the coming wolves would be much better. But... if we do that. Wouldn't the chances of us dying be higher?"

"I want to fight, sure. But if only the chances of us winning are higher than the chances of us dying. So if we'll just die, I'd rather swallow the urge to fight." He said.

Esther smiled, and then chuckled. "Well that's my man. There's no need for you to suppress yourself for me, you know. I'm a strong woman. I'm Damien's mother."

"Not David's woman?" David joked around, and Esther chuckled at his joke. "Well I could be both. I'm my boys favorite woman and mother."

"Yeah right." David said. Esther ignored him, and added, "Plus, isn't it about time we leveled up? We collected more than enough Life Essence to go more than beyond the First League."

"Yeah, forgot about that." David smacked his thigh in realization. He then called out his Template to view how much Life Essence they have collected.

He checked the amount of Life Essence he had, and then immediately asked Esther what the plan was. "As far as I see it, we can easily go up to the Second League."

"Yes, that's true." Esther agreed, then suggested, "How about we just use it all up, and then, we'll collect some more from the coming wolves. Now, our aim is not to farm Life Essence but to–"

"–Reduce the ever-growing threat, huh?" David finished her statement and smiled. "Alright, I wonder how powerful I will be after I level up to being a Master Profession."

Then thought as he willed The Primordial Source, to burn out all of his Life Essence for a mass evolution.

[ TING!!! ]

[ You have leveled up ]

[ Congratulations!! You are now an Adept Profession Combatant ]

[ You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up ]

[ Congratulations!! You are now an Advanced Profession Combatant ]

[ You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up ]

[ Congratulations!! You are now a Master Profession Combatant ]

[ You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up... You have leveled up... (×2) ]

[ Congratulations!! You are now a Great Master Profession Combatant ]

"..."

David paused. That was a lot of information to take in, but it was not over. In fact, it was just the beginning of everything.

[ TING!!! ]

[ Due to your HIDDEN Class,  you have spent 40,250 units of Life Essence to Level up consecutively, all the way to Level 31 (Great Master Profession) ]

[ Your stats have increased exponentially by 63 points for each Stat category ]

[ You have obtained 168 Distributable Stat Points that can be freely distributed ]

[ You have obtained 168 Distributable Ability Points that can be freely distributed ]

[ You Mana has increased by four times for every Level up you achieve ]

[ TING!!! ]

[ You have reached the pseudo upper limit of Mana for your potential at your current Stage (Due to unpurifued Mana Veins). To increase your Mana levels, please Rank Up, or use Rare Realistic Grade Treasures ]

[ Please purify your Mana Veins to exceed this pseudo limit, and trespass into the Domain of the gods in terms of energy Reserves ]

"Limit huh? So the brat was right." David thought to himself. The word "limit" not sitting well with him. But he was able to swallow down his pride for now.

According to Damien, each potential had its limit, and the higher the potential, the higher the limit of stats, Mana, talent etc, that the person could reach at a lower Realm.

Take having the potential of a god, which was generally considered being a Century Genius at minimum. Geniuses that appear once in a century within a Bloodline.

This said person could use rare treasures and other means to increase their strengths to that of a god, and their Mana as well. While still being just an Apprentice.

And if they desired to exceed that limit, they just had to increase their Ranks, which would automatically increase the reserves, hence the limit increasing.

But of course, in some cases, the real limits are not truly reached. And the reason to that, being the Mana Veins themselves.

Unprurifued Mana Veins, could not circulate Mana beyond the limits of mortals and demigods. Hence creating pseudo limits, which David was experiencing.

But he was not much worried. Even as such, having Mana comparable to the strongest of demigods was still a plus for him. Especially so, when he was just a Great Master Profession.

He called out his Template, and viewed the new information. As well as to put in the required modifications for the next upcoming battle.

David went through everything, and did not like the extra information behind his Mana value. Dissatisfied, he immediately spent a few Ability Points on his Extra Skill, [Fatigue Resistance(5)].

[ TING!!! ]

[ You have spent 15 Ability Points to Evolve "Fatigue Resistance" into a Unique Skill ]

[ TING!!! ]

[ You have spent 100 Ability Points to max level your Unique Skill "Fatigue Immunity" ]

A terrific sounding Ability. David was satisfied with its effects just from reading the name.
