I Reincarnated As A Stick

Chapter 61: Double Surprise


Chapter 61: Double Surprise

Whoosh!

A few seconds later after being teleported out of the fourth illusion world, Aurus appeared inside the green jade hall, still in the same place he appeared whenever he finished an illusion world, the center.

“Hah! I’m finally back!” Aurus had the urge to kiss the floor of the hall as he felt safe within the confines of this hall as nothing unexpected would happen to him. After suppressing this urge, he then pondered on the happenings within the fourth illusion world. “To think that Animates can also evolve, or is it just the machinations of the illusion world?”

Ever since he heard from Herellia that one of the strongest powers within the Tempest Cliff was a rock that evolved into a beast at the Animate existence level, he had his assumptions as to whether everything around had the possibility to evolve and grow stronger.

So far, he has only seen sticks evolve, hence he could not answer that question at the moment, although he wanted to know answer real bad.

Of course, in the midst of his contemplation, the disembodied voice resounded throughout hall as it snapped Aurus back to reality.

“The fourth world, Power, has been escaped from in the time of 18 minutes and 48 seconds. Score grade: S.”

“Hoh? A score grade of S? It seems that I’m quite lucky!” Aurus could not help but exclaim in disbelief as the score grades he got from the previous three illusion worlds were straight A’s.

If only he knew that Kurohana accidentally focused on Herellia with her Luck Orb for a bit, resulting in his luck being diminished for a short while, then Aurus could not decide whether to laugh or cry.

Nonetheless, Aurus did not know about this and was nonchalant to all of the happenings in the Celestial Plane, hence he decided to listen to the disembodied voice attentively as he wanted to know what rewards a score grade of S could give.

“As the inheritor has done an exemplary job in escaping the illusion world with a fast time, the reward given shall be extremely helpful to the inheritor, and it is also related to the illusion world that has been escaped from,” the disembodied voice continued to speak.

“After careful consideration to the inheritor’s characteristics, an Ally has been given to you!”

“Eh?”

Ding!

All of a sudden, a screen appeared in front of his field of vision as tiny little fragments that came from thin air coalesced into a figure that resembled a smaller Aurus.

Whoosh!

Not long after, after the tiny fragments coalesced to form this figure, it then transformed into a stick that was extremely corporeal as two protruding spikes appeared on the top of its body, seemingly looking like the two ears of an animal that he saw in the illusion world he escaped from.

“Dog?” This was the first word that came into Aurus’ mind after seeing this small stick manifest beside him. Surprisingly, it rotated its body along its axis as it faced Aurus face-to-face, considering that the side that had the two protrusions was its front.

“Awh!” Not long after, a bark could be hears within Aurus’ mind as he could feel the emotions hidden with that single bark.

“Eh? I’m your master?” Aurus was flabbergasted for a bit before deciding to look at the screen that he ignored all this time.

‘The ally ‘Fenrir’ has been added to your party!’

‘The quality of the ally ‘Fenrir’ is S grade!’

“Eh?” Aurus was shocked once more as he read through the information written on the screen. “To think that the first ally I would get is an S-grade ally.”

Just like the grades that separated the species within the same existence level, allies within the Ally system could be split into 7 grades which dictates its maximum potential in terms of evolution and speed of leveling up. From lowest to highest, these grades are: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS respectively.

Of course, Aurus did not expect much from his allies as they would only serve to boost his power, hence he didn’t care about their grades. But since this ally came from the inheritance, Aurus of course thought that there was something different with this Fenrir in front of him, hence he identified it.

Ding!

________

[Fenrir] (Level 1/10)

Potential Grade: S

Experience: 0/5 (can be filled with unused experience points)

Species: Wolf Stick (Rare)

Existence Level: Inanimate

Grade: C

[HP]: 1/1

[SP]: 0/0

Stats:

[Toughness]: 1

[Thickness]: 1

[Density]: 1

Skills:

[Wolf Dash Lv.5], [Wolf Howl Lv. 3], [Keen Senses Lv. 4]

Ally Skill: [Blessing of the Wolf]

________

Aurus could not help but click his nonexistent tongue inwardly. There was a great difference between an ally obtained from an inheritance and an ally obtained from the gacha alright.

“Just its species alone is already Rare, which is the same grade as me,” Aurus could not help but feel injustice at the fact that he had toil away in order to get to his species grade to Rare, while this ally beside him…well Fenrir, already had a Rare species at the C-grade Inanimate level! “From this alone, he might become a Legendary species or even a Myth grade species!”

“Oh? I can infuse my unused experience points into this Fenrir?” Continuing to look at Fenrir’s status screen that had all of its characteristics shown to Aurus as he was his ally, he decided to use some of his unused experience points to max out Fenrir’s level as he had over 8000 points of it anyway.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After deciding to infuse around 300 experience points or so into Fenrir, its level instantly shot up to 10 which was its max and a great transformation happened to Fenrir’s body.

What was once a small stick that was only about 1/5 of Aurus’ size swelled up to the size of being half the size of Aurus’ body, which definitely intensified the faint aura Aurus felt from Fenrir a while ago.

Ding!

‘Fenrir has reached the MAX level!’

‘Fenrir has met the necessary requirements and is ready to evolve!’

Looking at Fenrir for a bit, he noticed that the way Fenrir looked at him was more caring and close, since he fed him a ton of experience points in one go that allowed it to grow strong easily. Smiling inwardly, he then said, “Let’s go check your ally skill first before I evolve you.”

Aurus did not want to check out Fenrir’s skills right now since he would eventually find out once he finished the inheritance. Not long after, with a command from his mind, the information on Fenrir’s ally skill was revealed to Aurus.

Ding!

________

[Blessing of the Wolf]

Grade: C (Mortal)

A wolf, commonly known as the ruler of the forest. With its acute senses and quick movements, they are known as strong predators of the forest and will not hesitate to retaliate once you go over its limits.

> Perception range +10%

> Movement speed +10%

> Attack and Vitality stat +10%

________

From this skill alone, he knew that he would nurture Fenrir up to its limit as the skill was just too good for his current circumstances. With an increased perception range, he could sense enemies that give Life and Will points to him easier, with an increased movement speed, he could traverse the lands easier, and with an increased Attack and Vitality stat, which referred to his [Spirit] and [Vitality] stat respectively, he could kill branches and saplings of a higher grade easily.

Just as he was about to evolve Fenrir to the B-grade Inanimate level, the disembodied voice resounded throughout the hall, not caring Aurus’ feelings.

“The fifth and final world, Second Reality, has been casted.”

“Transporting the inheritor to the world…”

“Oh come on!” Aurus was infuriated as he was just going to evolve the first ally he has ever gotten. Letting out a sigh of annoyance, he commanded the system to hide Fenrir.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Fenrir disappeared from the green jade hall, but was still connected to Aurus as its bark resounded throughout Aurus’ mind, with curiosity hidden in its bark.

“We’re going into an illusion world, buddy,” Aurus said to Fenrir in his mind as he slowly floated up in the air while his body started to gradually disappear from the vicinities of the green jade hall.

A few seconds later, Aurus’ body was already in a semicorporeal state while he still hovered over the floor of the hall. “That’s weird. Why haven’t I been teleported yet?”

And there it happened.

Crash!

As if the sound of multiple wine glasses being broken could be heard, Aurus turned corporeal once more as he landed on the floor of the hall, his aura exuding extreme confusion.

“Eh? What the…? Did the teleport fail?” This was the first idea that came into Aurus’ mind as the inheritance was already old.

Then, the disembodied voice resounded throughout the hall.

“The fifth world, Second Reality, has been escaped from in the time of 8 seconds. Score grade: X.”

“EH?!”
