Chapter 886 Ilea



Ilea moved her wings to stay afloat, her magic deactivated as her mana started to recover. She felt spent, her cells frayed from the long use of her most powerful spells. Chunks of rock and debris were scattered everywhere, the entire valley still glowing with heat and fire. Warm winds moved in, the only present sound, now that the titan was slain.

She lowered herself towards the ground, and landed, the remaining heat comforting, nothing like the flames she had survived.

Dragonfire, she thought with a grin, then giggled to herself, checking behind to see if it all had somehow been a prank.

Quiet winds and moving flames were all that she could see. The mountains of the far north.

She breathed in as her wings dissolved, looking at the monument that she had left behind. The dragon was dead. Its form almost like another mountain, blending in with dark red scales and jagged wings of scales. Deep embedded in its chest remained the black lance of ash, towering up and away, the ashen surface showing cracks and splinters.

“That was me,” she murmured, almost to remind herself. She checked to see if there were any gods in the vicinity, but she was alone.

Oh.

I forgot to invite Violence to this one. He’s gonna be pissed, she thought and smiled.

Ilea stretched and cracked her neck. Rip out some scales, or check my options?

She decided on the latter. The carcass could wait.


‘ding’ ‘You have killed [Dragon of Calamity – lvl 3105]’


‘ding’ ‘The Arcane Eternal has reached lvl 958 – Five stat points awarded’

‘ding’ ‘The Arcane Eternal has reached lvl 1004 – Five stat points awarded’


‘ding’ ‘The Ashen Titan has reached lvl 955 – Five stat points awarded’

‘ding’ ‘The Ashen Titan has reached lvl 1001 – Five stat points awarded’


‘ding’ ‘The Primordial Arbiter has reached lvl 956 – One stat point awarded’

‘ding’ ‘The Primordial Arbiter has reached lvl 1002 – One stat point awarded’


All three at once? Shit.

She quickly went through the remaining messages not pertaining to her Classes.


‘ding’ ‘Ashen Limbs reaches 3rd lvl 17’

‘ding’ ‘Identify reaches 2nd lvl 13’

‘ding’ ‘Spear of Ash reaches 3rd lvl 19’
‘ding’ ‘Spear of Ash reaches 3rd lvl 20’

‘ding’ ‘Wind Resistance reaches 3rd lvl 27’


‘ding’ ‘New titles available’

- Dragonrider [You have ridden on the back of a dragon. Non draconic monsters fear your presence, and draconic monsters are more likely to surrender to your will.]

- Dragonslayer [You have slain a dragon and taken some of its power. Reduces all physical and magical damage sustained by 10%. Increases all magical damage by 10%.]


Holy fuck, that was so worth it. Ten percent?

She assumed the wording meant the increases were on top of everything else, like with her Godslayer title.

Ilea instantly changed her title to Dragonslayer. Who wouldn’t, really?

Now I have to find Pierce again, show up, drink a cup of tea, and leave again without a word.

Ilea grinned to herself as she read through the core skill point additions.


‘ding’ ‘You have seen Garonoth, Immortal Dragon of the North – One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have joined the flight of a dragon as its rider – One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have seen the fire breath of a dragon of calamity – One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have survived the fire breath of a dragon of calamity – One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have fought a dragon of calamity – One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have defeated a dragon of calamity – One Core skill point awarded’
‘ding’ ‘You have reached level one thousand – One Core skill point awarded’


Nothing particularly surprising, after the battle.

She looked at the dragon once more and sat down on a still slightly glowing and half molten rock.

Then she checked her first option.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Arcane Eternal becomes The Azarinth Myth. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Bring life to what has once been lost.

- Has a Healing or Arcane Magic Class at level 1000
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has a Reconstruction based spell in the Fourth Tier
- Has surpassed the very Order from which their magic has originated
- Has formed a Healing Organization
- Has passed on the Bluemoon Grass
- Has attuned to the arcane
- Has killed a level 2500 creature while alone
- Has saved at least 100’000 beings from life threatening danger
- Has influenced the Healing Orders of the world
- Has inherited the Azarinth Star
- Has the Azarinth Barrier spell at the end of the third tier
- Has helped provide opportunities to hundreds of thousands of beings
- Is seen by hundreds of thousands as a saint or goddess

The Azarinth Myth brings back the name of a once renowned and subsequently disgraced Healing Order, not clearing their name and history, but taking the next step in forging a new path. A myth known throughout the world, a symbol of hope and healing for the people, a saint of restoration. They wield healing magic on a scale thought impossible, entire cities cleared of plague and rot, minds freed of corruption and hurt, fighting invasions and enemies to their people with the pinnacle of Azarinth magic. They stand for a unified world where beings of all awakened species are welcomed, where progress and cooperation may flourish under a new banner of hope. Bring forth the age of Azarinth!

Would you like to evolve your class [The Arcane Eternal] to [The Azarinth Myth]?’


Ilea read through and frowned. A little much, is it. A unified world? A banner of hope? And all that with the Azarinth name attached to it.

Clearing entire cities of plague and rot seems insane though. I hope that scale is going to be a theme, she thought with a grin and checked the next option for the Arcane Eternal.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Arcane Eternal becomes The Death Chosen. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Death comes for all.

- Has an Arcane Magic Class at level 1000
- Has aided in the creation of a Greater Lich
- Has aided in the restoration of a trapped soul
- Has recovered the Soul Forge of Khan Joggoth
- Has seen the Primordial Curse, and survived
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Acquainted with Necromancers, Liches, and Dark sorcerers.
- Has the Soul Perception skill in the second tier
- Has the Soul Magic Resistance skill in the third tier
- Has laughed in the face of death
- Has had their soul shattered and recovered
- Has fought and survived the battle with a divine being of death
- Has ended the lives of at least 100’000 beings

The Death Chosen. Untainted. Survivor and bringer of death. Soul shattered and restored, acquainted with the Primordial Curse, and friend to those dabbling in the arts of death. Thousands they have killed, and thousands they have saved. Souls reaped and protected, judged by the Chosen alone. Wielding the unstoppable forces of soul and death alike, the Chosen walks among the living, unnatural, unmatched, feared and loved alike. Neither cursed nor divine, they choose to wield their power in whatever way they wish, a path uncertain, but the end is inescapable.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Arcane Eternal] to [The Death Chosen]?’


Soul and death. First step to become a Lich? Or is this already a step above? Owl isn’t acquainted with the Primordial Curse after all.

Ilea pondered the realization of having ended the lives of a hundred thousand beings. She didn’t want it, but this was an option to become some kind of symbol of death. She had certainly earned it.

I wonder what I could’ve gotten if I had won against Savien.

She didn’t really consider the option, soul and death surely powerful schools of magic that she was certainly acquainted with, but while she liked the Vultures quite a bit, she didn’t want to join them as some sort of super death lord.

Next



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Arcane Eternal becomes The Arcane Apocalypse. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Wield the might of magic.

- Has an Arcane Magic Class at level 1000
- Has the Wisdom stat at 3000 or higher
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has the Arcane Magic Resistance skill at the end of the third tier
- Has an arcane based spell in the Fourth Tier

The arcane itself, bending to your will. Desolation to your enemies, you become the embodiment of magic. Reserves and spells to end entire nations, and to fight both godlike beings and Elementals alike. As the Arcane Apocalypse, you stand as a warning to all who would threaten your allies or be foolish enough to invade your lands. Combining incredible mana absorption and regeneration, the Arcane Apocalypse unleashes the very pinnacle of destructive power upon the battlefield, vast encompassing spells and precision blows, they mold the very arcane to their will. Known throughout the lands and realms, your enemies will speak your name in quiet voices. A figure of respect and admiration among all. You choose and forge the path, weapon and embodiment of the Arcane.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Arcane Eternal] to [The Arcane Apocalypse]?’


Oooh, I like this one. Pure arcane power. Her smile grew wider. Mana regeneration, absorption, and reserves are specifically mentioned too. And I’m not losing any spells, so Reconstruction will still be there in one form or the other.

Ilea jotted down the options into her notebook, summoning as much ice as she could to keep it from catching flame.

“Next,” she whispered.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Arcane Eternal becomes The Cosmic Immortal. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

The source of all.

- Has an Arcane or Astral Magic Class at level 1000
- Has the Wisdom stat at 3000 or higher
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has either Arcane Magic Resistance or Astral Magic Resistance at the end of the third tier
- Has a Reconstruction or Deconstruction spell in the Fourth Tier
- Has Meditation in the Fourth Tier
- Has seen and survived a primordial force
- Has killed a level 3000 creature while alone
- Has at least 150’000 mana

- Has fought and defeated a true Elemental
- Has used ten times or more of their total mana capacity in one battle
- Has attuned their body to arcane energies
- Has attuned their body to astral energies

The Cosmic Immortal has attuned their form to both the arcane and astral powers, has fought and killed creatures of divinity, they have reached Perfect Synergy, and pushed their arcane powers to the very limits of their cells. Through both battle and meditation, they have found the truth of magic, combining the inherent arcane and the power of the stars to wield the primal force of Cosmic energy connecting all. Their mana is boundless, their flesh and soul restored through perfect reconstruction. Enemies in your domain are faced with the very force that makes and unmakes all. Flesh and steel, fire and curse, all fades to cosmic power. Human made Immortal. Go forth, into the Cosmos.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Arcane Eternal] to [The Cosmic Immortal]?’


Ilea summoned a bottle of ale and drank a third of it. She liked this one. A lot. But she had liked the last one too.

The force that makes and unmakes all. Is this a combination like Devour magic? She noted it down, comparing the achievements from the Cosmic Immortal and the Arcane Apocalypse. She downed the bottle and decided to check the last option for now.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Arcane Eternal becomes The Storm Remnant. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Eye of the Storm.

- Has an Arcane Magic Class at level 1000
- Has the Intelligence stat at 3000 or higher
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has killed a level 3000 creature while alone
- Has Meditation in the Fourth Tier
- Has at least 200’000 mana
- Has fought and defeated a true Storm Elemental
- Has found comfort in arcane storms
- Has the Lightning and Wind Resistance skills past level 20 of the third tier
- Has accepted a high risk of death for joy in battle
- Has survived the storms of Erendar
- Has survived at least 25 Fourth Tier spells aimed to kill them

Forged in the harshest elements of the world, the Storm Remnant is unmatched. They have battled against the pinnacle of magical power, have survived the spells of Elementals, and have prevailed through it all. Reveling in the storms and chaos of strife, of unbalance, and the upheaval of the magical equilibrium, they have forged their path to divinity, then rejected the divine, and chose their own path instead. Unpredictable, the Remnant commands the very arcane storms that had once defied them, wielding lightning, wind, and the arcane. Nothing will remain but devastation, should you choose to fight. You are chaos, you are change. The joy of endless battle lives on through your veins and through your lightning. Go, and hunt your prey.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Arcane Eternal] to [The Storm Remnant]?’


Fuck, this one is really cool as well.

Wielding arcane lightning. Ilea really liked the thought. To become some sort of northern storm herself. A last gift of Aveer, she thought and looked up towards the sky.

Looking back at her notebook, she tapped her leg with her free hand, the empty bottle stored again. Those are the five options. All great, but I’m leaning towards the last three.

She wondered if she should choose one already, but finally decided to check all of her options, for all of her Classes. There were three after all.

Let’s see what my ash can get me.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Ashen Titan becomes The Flame Touched Dragonrider. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Wings of doom.

- Has an Ash or Fire based Class at level 1000
- Has survived the fire breath of a dragon
- Has killed a level 2500 being with a companion
- Has the Heat Resistance skill at the end of the third tier
- Has ridden a dragon
- Has burned away divine level beings
- Has befriended divine level beings
- Has ridden an Elemental into battle
- Has given hope to allies in the face of overwhelming odds
- Has an Ash or Fire based skill in the Fourth Tier
- Has the Veteran skill at the end of the third tier

You have fought the apex of the natural world, have wielded fire and heat to destroy your enemies. You have befriended ancient creatures, and you have ridden them into battle. As the Flame Touched Dragonrider, you learn to bond and summon those who would submit to your will. Creatures of the wild, coming to your aid as you battle with smoldering heat and fire, bringing destruction to those who would defy your will. Lead the charge of your allies and companions, and forge your path, with fire, and blood.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Ashen Titan] to [The Flame Touched Dragonrider]?’


Oh, so an actual summoner and monster riding Class? She smiled at the thought. It would be kind of cool. She wondered if she could convince Icy to bond with her. That would be nuts. Or the Trakorov, but I suppose he’d be a little weak at this point. Ilea shook her head at the thought.

No mention of ash at all. She wasn’t sure about that. Of course it was just her magic, but she found she didn’t want to let her ash go just like that.

Just feels wrong, she thought and looked at the next option.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Ashen Titan becomes The Blood Coated Warrior. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

The Undefeated.

- Has a Class at level 1000
- Has killed a level 3000 being while alone
- Has the Blood Magic Resistance spell at level 20 of the third tier
- Has killed a deity of blood
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has matched a melee fighter at level 2000 or above in hand to hand combat
- Has the Monster Hunter spell at the end of the third tier
- Has the Veteran skill at the end of the third tier
- Has at least 100’000 health
- Has chosen battle over flight in the face of death

A warrior. No more and no less. Forged by countless battles. Undefeated, even against gods and Elementals. The Blood Coated Warrior is an unkillable fighter using both their body and powerful blood magic to continue on their path of strife. You stand unmatched. Hone your skill, against the ancient powers of the world, and emerge victorious.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Ashen Titan] to [The Blood Coated Warrior]?’


From that blood oracle, she thought with a smile. Not the worst option, but again, no ash! Still, she found she liked this one more than the rider class. In her early days in Elos, she may have ignored a blood magic option, but now, things weren’t exactly the same. A full on four mark body enhancement Class with a focus on hand to hand combat, she didn’t hate it.

But do show me some ash.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Ashen Titan becomes The Goddess of Ash. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Ash incarnate.

- Has an Ash based Class at level 1000
- Has killed a level 3000 being while alone
- Has the Origin of Ash and Embers skill in the Fourth Tier
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has trusted their ash in the face of death
- Has killed a true Elemental while alone
- Has faced death countless times
- Has created ashen copies and infused them with their will
- Has at least 10’000 beings thinking them a deity
- Has at least three General skills related to ash
- Has the Monstrous skill at the end of the second tier

Beyond comprehension, the might of ash, the power of divinity. Become the element itself, and wield it to the truest of its will, to the pinnacle of its creation. You are the goddess of ash itself, on par with Elementals, and unmatched in the mastery of your creation. Wield ash and devastate all. Nothing will remain on the path you have chosen. Blessed be those who kneel and trust in Lilith, guardian of the Accords, embodiment of ash!

Would you like to evolve your class [The Ashen Titan] to [The Goddess of Ash]?’


Ask, and ye shall receive. Ilea laughed, knowing this evolution would turn her into a goddess herself. At least one defined by the magic within her, and the make of the world. So far, she wasn’t particularly convinced that being a goddess was something she wanted to do. Most of them seemed like shits, or straight up monsters.

I did get my ash though.

She noted down the option, unsure so far between the blood one and this. Normally she’d have straight up ignored anything mentioning the divine, but there were a few mentions here about choosing her own path, though she didn’t miss that one line about wielding ash to its truest will, not hers.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Ashen Titan becomes The Alloyed Titan. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Steel and Fire.

- Has an Ash or Fire based Class at level 1000
- Has defeated the Champion of the Forged Dome
- Has reclaimed the Soul Forge
- Has wielded a weight of 100 tons
- Has acclimated to a set of living metal armaments
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has survived the fire breath of a dragon
- Has befriended the Taleen, the dwarves of the Pit, and an Ascended of Kohr
- Has several resistances against different types of metal magic

The Alloyed Titan stands above, steel clad and undefeated. No walls will remain, no armor will suffice. Create and wield steel and fire at your will, forged into your chosen war machine of living metal. Weight and armor unmatched as you enter arena, lair, or battlefield. The earth shall tremble. Flame shall spread. Shields shall be broken. For she cometh!

Would you like to evolve your class [The Ashen Titan] to [The Alloyed Titan]?’


What do you mean a hundred tons? Are you fucking kidding me?

Ilea stood up and started pacing, grumbling to herself and cursing the Baron. For certainly, it was his fault.

Straight up an insult, she thought and sat back down. Thinking of her war machine and her time in the Pit, she couldn’t help but like the Class option anyway. Becoming a literal tank was not the worst, she decided.

Last option already. Let’s see.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Ashen Titan becomes The Pyroclastic Storm. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Heat and ash, inescapable.

- Has an Ash or Fire based Class at level 1000
- Has survived the fire breath of a dragon
- Has killed a level 3000 being while alone
- Has the Heat Resistance skill at the end of the third tier
- Has the Veteran skill at the end of the third tier
- Has killed a dragon
- Has the Origin of Ash and Embers skill in the Fourth Tier
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has trusted their ash in the face of death
- Has at least two volcanic element manipulation skills

You have stood in the flames of a dragon, and found them wanting. The might of a natural disaster, summoned to your will, and brought upon your enemies. The Pyroclastic Storm is inevitable, ceaseless, and certain death. A moving cascade of smoke, ash, and volcanic glass, burning with the heat of a planet’s core, summoned by the Pyroclastic Storm, embodiment of heat. No magic, flesh, nor space itself shall stand in the face of your creation. Bring terror to the very hearts of your enemies, as ash and heat descends, blotting out the very suns.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Ashen Titan] to [The Pyroclastic Storm]?’


Fuck yeah. Now this, this is what I want! Ash, but not divine. Smoke and volcanic glass as well? That’s like becoming an actual volcano, without the lava I guess, but ash is better anyway.

Between the goddess one and this, we have a clear fucking winner.

Ilea didn’t decide immediately, wanting to look through her third Class options as well, before she chose anything.

Primordial Arbiter.

She wondered what her adventures since reaching level five hundred would unlock.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Primordial Arbiter becomes The Starbound Calamity. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Wrath of the stars.

- Has the Star Touched spell
- Has fought in the storms of an eclipse
- Has killed 10 or more Daughters of Sephilon
- Has survived several Fourth Tier astral magic spells
- Has trained with the Endless Meadow
- Has a space or astral magic skill in the Fourth Tier

At the edge of the atmosphere, the Starbound Calamity resides, seeking prey beyond comprehension. Through realms they travel, in the search of their destiny, guided by the stars. You have killed the unkillable, have survived the incomprehensible. Learn to wield the might of astral magic, empowered by your control of space itself. Burn through all, with the powers from beyond, and become the Calamity that claims entire worlds. A path in the light of the stars. Your will, to navigate.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Primordial Arbiter] to [The Starbound Calamity]?’


From healing cities to claiming entire worlds. Calm down, description texts.

It does sound powerful as fuck though, and I wouldn’t lose my space magic either.

What else?



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Primordial Arbiter becomes The Fortified Ascended. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Born of Steel and Space.

- Has traveled to at least three different realms
- Has allied themselves with Nes Mor Atul of the Navuun

A human entwined with the fates of the Olym Arcena. Not born Navuun, nor forged into an Ascended, but brought to their heights by the strife of battle. Wielding steel and space, the Fortified Ascended is as durable as the strongest of the Ascended. You are a master of the fabric, and wielder of the Fires of Creation. You will choose your fate. Rise now, Ascended!

Would you like to evolve your class [The Primordial Arbiter] to [The Fortified Ascended]?’


How cute. An Ascended? Killed a level two thousand creature? Fought the Architect to… a stalemate? Ilea smiled to herself. She then rolled her eyes just to underline the point she made to herself. Just in case an Ascended was watching her through divination, and somehow knew she was making fun of them.

Guess Ker Velor wasn’t wrong in offering me to become one of theirs. Funny that he thought I needed his help at all.

She wrote down the option and immediately scratched it through. With quite a bit of satisfaction.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Primordial Arbiter becomes The Fabric Shaper. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

One with the Fabric.

Unmatched and all encompassing. Maker and destroyer. You have seen creators who wield mana in the shape of space. You have witnessed the true might of the Fae. You have traveled to other realms within the fabric, have fought the horrors of the void. As the Fabric Shaper, you create your own reality, bend space to your will, and dominate your enemies with absolute control. Nothing in your domain will escape. No chains shall hold you. No spell shall reach you. All is burned away by the Fires of Creation.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Primordial Arbiter] to [The Fabric Shaper]?’


Now that, is what the fuck I’m talking about. She scratched the previous option through one more time, just to hammer it home.

Fabric Shaper. I do like the sound of that. And the Primordial Shift is a requirement.

She went on to the next.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Primordial Arbiter becomes The Warrior Goddess Lilith. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

Founder of the Accords and protector of its lands and peoples, the Goddess Lilith has risen beyond myth and legend. Metal creations move to her command, enchantments strengthen her form of flesh and steel. Undefeated and unstoppable, expanding territory and defeating invaders, freeing the shackled, and ushering in a new age for the Accords. A symbol of power, of divinity, and of honor. Fight on, for eternity!

Would you like to evolve your class [The Primordial Arbiter] to [The Warrior Goddess Lilith]?’


Ilea summoned a meal and started eating. Eh. I do like fighting, but for eternity? I’m not so sure about that. And again, with the divinity. I suppose I should be flattered by the Lilith title. But really, I’m not.

Neext!



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Primordial Arbiter becomes The Fat Faen Fisherwoman. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

A fisherwoman like none other. Fishing pole made of space itself, a boat that travels through the fabric, and bait made of voice and flesh. A creature heavy and laden with the food they consume, their hunger unending, their density incomparable. Cast your rod into the unknown, and reel in the horrors from beyond. Kill them with your absolute control of space, and sear their skin with the Fires of Creation. Consume their flesh and power, until nothing remains, but you.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Primordial Arbiter] to [The Fat Faen Fisherwoman]?’


As fucking stupid as this is, she thought and ate, pausing to look down at her food. I bet this one is fucking powerful.

But no.

Don’t want to become an all consuming space monster.

Thank you.

Please, leave me alone.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Primordial Arbiter becomes The Sunforged Realmwalker. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

The first flame.

- Has a Space, Light, or Fire Magic Class at level 1000

Walking in the heat of a sun, you have endured. You chose to hunt planetary spirits in the light of an eclipse. You have traveled realms to find the limits of your magic, to battle godlike creatures, and to befriend the most ancient creatures in the fabric. An Arbiter of beings. You walk onward, trained and taught by the most powerful wielders of magic, forged by the fabric and the suns, you emerge not student, but among the pinnacle yourself. The Sunforged Realmwalker is an instinctual master of the fabric, bending space to their will, and creating their very own reality. Bring upon your foes, the heat and fusion of the suns, and become the first wielder of the Primordial Flame.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Primordial Arbiter] to [The Sunforged Realmwalker]?’


Oh, yes. I like this one too.

First wielder of the Primordial Flame? As in, like, the first? The first time ever someone has wielded it?

Might just have to get this one just to fuck with Savien, calling me a savage or something. I’ll burn away his curse…

Ilea smiled to herself and looked through the last option.



‘ding’ ‘Requirements met for class evolution: The Primordial Arbiter becomes The Undying Queen. No current skills or stats will be lost, be aware that other evolutions and skills may become unavailable -

The Living.

- Has a Class at level 1000
- Has fought the Sanguerrihn and survived
- Has endured the Primordial Curse
- Has freed Paarah of its curse
- Has a Flesh or Curse magic spell in the Fourth Tier
- Has the Curse Resistance spell at level 20 of the third tier
- Has killed divine level beings while alone
- Has the Soul Perception spell in the second tier
- Has recovered 300’000 health in a single battle
- Has acclimated to a cursed divine artifact
- Has the Deviant of Humanity skill at the end of the third tier

The whispers of the Curse have brushed your soul, and yet you stand, defiant. An affront to the primordial curse and a beacon for humanity, the Undying Queen remains, their flesh and soul warped to carry regenerative and curse riddled properties. Slay your enemies in a maelstrom of flesh as their insides rot away to your far reaching curses. The rotted battlefield shall move once more, death reborn as you raise your fleshbound servants to fight for their queen. Empires shall fall, worlds shall be brought to ruin. The Undying is here.

Would you like to evolve your class [The Primordial Arbiter] to [The Undying Queen]?’


Yeah. Speaking of Savien. I do believe I’ll pass on that one.

Finishing her meal, Ilea kept her eyes on the options listed in her notebook. Glancing up, she almost choked when she saw the dead dragon. Still the same. Still the one you killed. Relax.

She took in a deep breath and stored her empty bowl.

So. What to choose?

Fat Faen Fisherwoman.... what??

Cant believe you've made it this far! Delivered on all the promise of this story and then some, stellar job.

Pretty sure the Fae can modify it and is fucking with her.

I would go for Cosmic immortal Pyroclastic storm Sunforged realmwalker Thanks for the chapter

Anonymous

But, but... No Cake class ?! Cosmic immortal Pyroclastic storm Sunforged realmwalker

Firinen

If she creates her own realm she can simply store the dragon corpse there.

Joshua Little

Thanks for the chapter. The Baron is going to get punched over some of those.

Vega

Violence was disappointed that illea forgot him.

Florian

My bet for her new classes : "The Sunforged Realmwalker, The Pyroclastic Storm, The Cosmic Immortal"

Danielle

Thanks for the chapter! I personally would go with cosmic immortal, pyroclastic storm, and sunforged realm walker

Sean

God they're all so cool! I really like cosmic immortal, pyroclastic storm, and the fabric shaper but I get why everyone wants the realmwalker instead. The heat synergy is just too strong. I'm so excited for the next chapter!!!!

"Stupid Fat Fish" is what Violence called the void monsters in Kohr that she killed plenty of.

jj

I cracked up at Fat Faen Fisherwoman! Violence has a weird sense of humour 🤣

David Brims

Would have been amusing if she'd been offered a Goddess class that was too good to pass up, but I expect the evolutions available were influenced by the fact she doesn't want Divinity

SwiftDarkPhoenix

It's been 10 years since Ilea got to Elos right? So 1 year to reach level 100 and 10 years to reach level 1000 it will probably take Ilea 100 years to reach over 2000 and find level 3000 creatures to kill to get near 10 levels at a time. After 2000 she probably have an extremely hard time reaching 3000 it might take her 1000 years to do it.

Fabric Shaper sounds like something I'd forget to add to my laundry.

deus vult

the goddess of ash is cool. too bad she's not going to take it. because, you know, goddess thingy.

hill44

If Ilea doesnt strip the damn dragon for its scales and hand some over to her smith friends Im gonna be upset. Can you imagine a Sentinel after reaching some landmark achievement, either level or something else, getting called into Trians office and getting told "Congratulations and good job. Now heres your dragonscale armor." Then casually getting handed a set of armor rulers would go to war to obtain.

Narf

My personal hope is, while perhaps a bit much, that she turns this place into a model for a "reclamation project". Wait until it has cooled off, install a gate, install some sort of shielding and environmental controls to protect against the harsh conditions, then turn it into a colony or outpost of sorts. Can you imagine a city, founded below the massive dragon impaled by the gigantic ashen spike, preserved for all eternity? Imagine the faces of the people seeing it for the first time, and the symbolic value for taking back the rest of the planet after the devastation wreaked by the ascended when they stole the sun.

This chapter made me jizz my pants

I really hope Cless paints this epic moment where Ilea impales the dragon and becomes the first known human to breach into ???? territory. Also we need to see how the others react to her walking around with ???? over her head.

At this point she should be able to create makeshift gravity and time spells by manipulating the fabric of space.

after thinking about it a bit i cam up with this c1 azarinth myth death chosen arcane apocalypse cosmic immortal storm remnant c2 flame touched dragonrider blood coated warrior goddess of ash alloyed titan pyroclastic storm c3 starbound calamity fortified ascended fabric shaper warrior goddess lilith fat faen fisherwoman sunforged realmwalker undying queen trimming the most likely unchosen option gives c1 arcane apocalypse cosmic immortal storm remnant c2 goddess of ash pyroclastic storm c3 fabric shaper sunforged realmwalker likely picked by ilea: c1 arcane apocalypse c2 pyroclastic storm c3 fabric shaper why: c1 storm remnant doesn't mention healing. healing is part of her fighting style and abandoning it seems risky to say the least. cosmic immortal could have been picked but... ilea having a hard time down on the water due to both darkness and respiratory issues seems unlikely to venture into the void. arcane apocalypse mention imposing your will onto arcane. likely increase her synergy/attunement with arcane/mana. c2 goddess of ash option is shut down by the "wield ash to it's truest will" bit. remember ash is very close to both fire and death aspects. if it isn't ilea who pilots this class then she could definitely decimate the plains. pyroclastic storm only seems to enhance/adds to what she was doing while increasing the proportions. c3 sunforged realmwalker is where I'm a bit lost. while it is very cool to be the first to unleash the first primordial fire I don't think she will take it. the second option is simply better by directly mentioning her 4th tier spell. fabric shaper mention directly her 4th tier skill. most likely chosen. my pick: first notable synergies possibles : possible synergy between pyroclastic storm and storm remnant. possible synergy between cosmic immortal and sunforged realmwalker. possible synergy between blood coated warrior and undying queen and death chosen. c1 death chosen c2 blood coated warrior c3 realmwalker sunforged create literal stars and melt both the blood of your enemies and their souls. (would choose these options only if I was the one chosing and not ilea. I don't like to fight that much. I think death chosen would be interesting with both owl and the soul forge thing. furthermore can you imagine a sun made of souls? sound very cool) tldr ilea picks : arcane apocalypse & pyroclastic storm & fabric shaper my picks : death chosen & blood coated warrior & realmwalker sunforged

Iron

interesting that you see her progression as a logarithmic curve (more and more hard for les and less results (x=1 10x=2 100x=3y x being in decade and the 1,2,3 being in thousands of levels)) who will end up plateauing. I don't think ilea's growth is a log curve at all and i think she's had big "power ups" moment where her 'power level' jumped forward from synergy. a good example of that is how her ash mandates being close to death to have a good attunement to it and her healing class allowing her to go this far. another "growth spurt" of sorts from her in both level and fighting competency is whenever she is introduced a new hunting ground. we have seen ilea when she was first introduced erendar being forced to back away from the "wild" while 20 to 30 chapters later she could finally hunt there. in my opinion seeing enemies she can't compete with motivates her.

Zarik0

Man that is a good alternative idea here :P

OMG SHE HAS REACHED LVL 1000!!!!! AHHHHHHH. It actually happened. like ive been womdering if this moment would happen since we saw our first ????. like when i realised how much stronger a human is for their lvl i thought it would cap at lvl 500 evolutions and 4th tier skills. But ... IT DIDNT!!! WHOOOO

deus vult

cosmic immortal has soul healing, something she cannot do at the moment. she nearly died to soul damage, so it's almost guaranteed she'll take it. meanwhile sunforged realmwalker does mention her fourth tier spell being one of the requirements. so it's simply wrong to say otherwise. plus, the primordial flame sounds badass.

Zarik0

Disagree for Arcane Apocalypse advantage vs Cosmic Immortal you does here Cosmic Immortal also increase her synergy/attunement with arcane/mana you bring as the for Arcane Apocalypse Hell it goes beyond with the Cosmic energy + all the other different thing at the same "tier" level it add everywhere Also Heal the Soul is also a game breaker here as the "last" real weakness she can have and is solved by Cosmic Immortal Agree maybe in term of pure power Arcane Apocalypse is a bit above but it's very specific and in just one aspect But it seem Cosmic Immortal also encompass this aspect more or less and is just after Arcane Apocalypse in term of pure power, but add the whole panel of versability and all the different thing Cosmic Immortal add too, and it become no brain choice, a specialized class vs a more "general" class who also bring massive number of thing and who is just a bit behind the specialized class on her own specific arcane aspect but yeah the "general" class add just so much more thing and things close to the same level (or more) in a lot of different aspect, and it patch some hole ilea have in some aspect (aka principally soul stuff) For the Fabric Shaper or the Sunforged Realmwalker, i think you have missed it in this big chapter, both directly mention her 4th tier spell, so your argument you use for Fabric Shaper doesn' t work :) And it become the same as for Arcane Apocalypse vs Cosmic Immortal A specialized class on just one specific aspect vs a general one who also encompass this specific aspect and at basically the same level but just a bit behind it seem, but in exchange it also add massive other multiple different thing (both in number and in same (or better on some of them) "power level" that the specific aspect of the specialized class) Sunforged Realmwalker encompass Fabric Shape at basically the same level and give basically the same thing in the end, you can see this with: "The Sunforged Realmwalker is an instinctual master of the fabric, bending space to their will, and creating their very own reality." I like some of your synergy idea you posted :)

deus vult

soul healing is much better than a simple repository, and not taking it would make her newest badass affinity obselete so that's a no go.

deus vult

as for syngery, I'd say her classes synergize well. all work with a 'flame' theme. first the cosmic immortal is upgraded to also include astral as well as arcane. astral is basically a fire specialization. then either the ash goddess or the pyroclastic storm class also include fire magic, which is yeah, where it's coming from. finally the sunforged realmwalker of course has the primordial flame to help her out. keep in mind she still has all of her skills so she doesn't lose her previous synergy. with two body enhancement classes working together. including healing and space magic for survivability.

Iron

seems i was wrong on some points. sorry. still I believe more in arcane apocalypse and fabric shaper... maybe it's my "hipster" side resurfacing... thanks for the correction guys :D

Justin "Johnist" Johanson

I think that was because she forgot to invite him to the fights against the Oracles and the Dragon... maybe the trip to Erendar too?

Jessy

The Apocalypse class talks about being a protector, There is nothing else in the class that Cosmic does not cover, and she doesnt need a Class to say she does so to actually do so.

Anonymous

Please pick The Fat Faen Fisherwoman.

Jessy

I lost 5 minutes to laughing at that. Violence will get yeeted for sure. though, Ilea needs to find a way to share memories so Violence can see the Violence she forgot to invite him too.

Jessy

She was given the option, but the classes are ultimately generated based on Ilea, so it wouldnt make sense for the best classes to have been it.

Jessy

I highly doubt she will leave a dragon corpse without taking anything. i also doubt she will just take some scales, it would make more sense for her to take the whole thing into her storage. it should theoretically fit. especially after she evolves.

Jessy

Isnt this scene extremely similar to the cover image? Ilea sitting down with a dead drake

Jessy

Really drives home how far she has come, didnt even realize.

DrNutella

So i agree with most commenters that Cosmic immortal Pyroclastic storm Sunforged realmwalker seem to be the most likely outcome. They just seem to fit her path and recent musings the best. But am i the only one who wouldn't mind seeing a curveball on this. Like if she picked the bloodmagic class for example. I thought that sounded like a pretty cool class and i was never that invested in her ash magic. But it seems pretty set in stone, as she says "Between the goddess one and this(Pyroclastic storm), we have a clear fucking winner."

David Brims

I was hoping Ilea might be able to pick up Resurrection magic for her Arcane evolution, but even the healing-focused Azarinth class doesn't offer it.

David Brims

I don't think Iron's points are entirely invalid. While there are a few classes Ilea will clearly never choose there are some real choices here for Ilea. Maybe the best move is if she picks whichever evolution she likes best (maybe that Pyroclastic one?), and then see if the skills she picks up make certain other evolutions more attractive (or unavailable, since that might also be a thing).

David Brims

I like that Pyroclastic adds some other elemental effects in, so it has that advantage over the Goddess upgrade. If you wanted a real curveball I think Storm Remnant/Pyroclastic Storm/Starbound Calamity would take her in a really interesting direction. She'd make the Wind of Aveer seem like a mild inconvenience. But I'm not sure anyone would be happy with it if she chose that path.

DrNutella

True, i just don't like the description of pyroclastic storm. It seems a little to destructive. She was always about fighting not total destruction. If it was my choice i would go with Storm Remnant Bloodsoaked Warrior and Fabric Shaper

Han Pol

Well I kinda agree on the pyroclastic storm discription. But then Titan was already taken, she would not take goddess of ash, grand vulcanic Titan or something like that would maybe work...but then I think storm is not the worst description of her.

Nate

Seems the comment hivemind has picked their classes, so I'll just add: *equips Dragon Rider title* "Oh Fey-Fey~"

Anonymous

yanno, if you didn't have an ending planned (I presume you do), you could just have her pick her classes, and then do a series of unconnected interludes of her visiting new worlds, and taper off, leaving it there (her off exploring, just do a visit when one amuses you). Sorta "off into the sunset"...just not one sunset, but all of them. :) In her shoes I might do az myth as it does good, but she'll take storm because she doesn't want to be tied down/focus forever on that. Calamity sounded ok but seemed like it trended towards disaster overly (she tries to do more good than harm, it sounded too prone to collateral dmg). Fabric and Cosmic both lean into her penchant for personal freedom, travel, new lands and people. So I'm guessing storm/fabric/cosmic immortal.

Jonathan

Give a woman a fish and she eats for a day. Teach Ilea to fish and she eats ... everything, for all eternity.

The 49th Khan

My hope is that he has an interlude at the end of her going back to her own world. She appears shouting "I'm back bitches!" and everything is on fire because of the system apocalypse (Infrasound Berserker). "Oh my."

Han Pol

now a troll chapter were she chooses the fat fairy fisher class.

Anonymous

Azarinth Myth's description of "Bring life to what has once been lost" made me think it had the power to resurrect (true resurrection, not "came back wrong") the dead. Given that that wasn't mentioned later by Ilea when she chose an evolution, I guess not?

Austin Traugott

I would feel disappointed if she doesn't pick the unique Primordial Flame option. But that's in there probably because it is the choice to go with.

That would make a nice transition if he wanted to resume Kate's story as his next project, for sure! He may want to do something new, tho.

Sunforged Realmwalker. Mentioned as an INSTINCTUAL MASTER of space manipulation. Meaning Ilea gains on instinct the ability to manipulate the fabric on par with the Meadow and the Fae roughly.
