Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1458

The map was hardly a map at all. It was a needle pointing in a particular direction while most of the rest of it was foggy and unformed... except for the immediate 100 meters around Sylas.

With a push of his intent, the map zoomed out until the clear region around Sylas became nothing more than a point of light. Then, it stopped, snapping into defined borders.

Immediately, Sylas gained two points of information. The first was that he could render in his map by exploring. So long as he was within 100 meters, it seemed to immediately snap into focus. However, it was hard to tell if he could gain anything else from the map outside of landscape information.

The second thing he realized was that he now knew exactly how large this space was. From the scale, it was about ten thousand kilometers in diameter, a perfectly square map.

However, this place was called a tower. In all likelihood, there was more than one floor, and this was just one of the floors. If that was the case, it just might be a race to the next floors, in which case Sylas' ability to scout would be a huge boon.

“It's only 100 meters because that's as far as my Luck goes in this place...

Sylas realized that if he could improve his Luck stat, he would be able to expand his scouting ability. Unfortunately, his Luck had been stuck at 11 for a long time.

Of course, Sylas could use his Taboo Bond Path to change things, but he had never done that since leaving Earth.

There were two main reasons for that.

First, the ability to do so was especially dangerous. Taboo Bond was all about touching on the Taboo, but this was especially Taboo. Sylas wouldn't forget the danger he had felt the first time he used it. The only reason why he continued to do so anyway back then was because Earth was relatively secluded and he could get away with a lot more on a world still in the middie of its Summoning.

The second reason was because in order to benefit from the Potential of someone else, their Potential had to actually be superior to his own.

Sylas simply hadn't come across an F-tier like this since leaving Earth. It seemed that having 11 Luck like he did was already exceptional.

The first time he felt that he might be able to gain something from targeting someone else was during his battles in the Champion selection. But he still hadn't taken that step. The risk wasn't yet worth it.

Now, however... he felt that it was a mistake not to take advantage of it back then.

If his Luck was large enough, wouldn't he be able to instantly have a perfect map of the Tower of Champions? How exaggerated would his advantage be then?

A creak echoed through the relatively silent plain and a figure poked his head out of the cabin. It was Alex, and he seemed to sigh a breath of relief when Sylas appeared, but it was a relief that only lasted for the briefest instant of time.

The entire prairie swayed all of a sudden, a rumbling taking hold of the ground as the winds kicked up.

"Close the door," Sylas suddenly said as Alex made a move to step out. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
