Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1691

Chapter 1691 Passable

Sylas hadn't even begun to read yet, and yet just from the categories alone his mind was being stimulated in unprecedented ways.

His foundation in F-tier Rune Mastery was such that he didn't even need to read just yet. The moment he became aware that these principles existed, his mind began to make connections of their own. By the time he got to the end of the list, he was already at least 30% better than he had been just moments ago.

In just a few brief seconds.

Rune Linkage and Will Priming seemed to only be the beginning. Introductions to the purpose of Strokes, the link between Foundations and Rune Languages, there was even a section on building out your own Rune Language for the purpose of streamlining your Combat Matrix and maximizing your effectiveness in battle.

The more obscure the titles and categories became, the more fascinated Sylas became.

And not a single one of these even made direct mention of his new Runeweaver Profession. Just what information woudl they have on that?

He began to read.

He started with the first, blazing through it with a flickering eye. He didn't care for the commotion he made nor the effect on others. Being on a time crunch, he didn't have the time to consider the opinions of others, nor would he have normally anyway. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Quickly, he put a book back and then continued to the next, and then the next.

His speed only seemed to be getting faster as he began to read ahead, guessing at what would come next in the book and filling in large chunks of it himself.

The more he read, the more accurate he became, and the less of a book he had to actually physically read. Sometimes he even ended up jumping across entire chapters, skipping them as thought hey had nothing of interest. But from time to time he would randomly slow on a single, individual paragraph before kicking it into high gear again.

The books on Strokes were fascinating.

Sylas had never questioned it personally, but it was quite odd. Foundations seemed important enough without the need for a denomination even smaller than it with Strokes.

That said, Sylas had always seen Strokes as something similar to a currency, while Foundations were raw resources, with Runes being the finished product.

Strokes were embedded with the value of a Rune but were mostly empty on their own without external support and belief, Foundations had their own intrinsic value, while Runes were the end product everyone wanted.

He had naturally categorized everything like this in his mind, and part of that was because of how Gralith had taught him.

When he was first learning to draw the Scorpion Warlord Armor, the first thing he learned was technically the Scoprion Rune Language. He started with 10 Strokes, learning to perfect them.

But even though Sylas understood the value of Strokes intrinsically, he had at no time put true thought and words to it. This library did, though.

A bridge for one's Will into the universe. That was the ultimately, holy definition of a Stroke to the guild.

A Foundation already had some manifestation of law of its own. Even a single one was already too complex. To impose your Will onto a Foundatino was the equivalent of playing God. You could use a Foundation and draw one, but you couldn't just its fundamental being.

A Stroke was different, though. It was like a fundamental unit of energy, and it was simple enough that this energy could be applied in a myriad of ways.

There were only so many ways you could draw a Stroke, but what decided what path it would take was the Will it was primed with.
