Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1694

Chapter 1694 Rune Paths (1)

Sylas scanned them one by one and then chose one.

It was phoned the Wispy Rune Path, an oddly unimpressive name. This Rune Path was unique because it focused on flexibility in casting and energy conservation. It was also among the twelve Sylas designated as one of the foundational Rune Paths that all of the others branched from.

Essentially, the Wispy Rune Path used a method of Will Priming that allowed Strokes to be more flexible. But what was unique about it was the fact that Runes formed with a certain Rune Language could be changed and modified —even in real time-to any other Rune that operated using the same Strokes, or fell under the same umbrellas of Strokes.

However, this was just the simplest application. It was also possible to combine Runes after they had been cast, or separate a single Rune into multiple smaller Runes for an unexpected, sudden result. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

What made Sylas so interested in this one was because this was an ability fundamental to the Runeweaver Profession, and this Rune Mastery Path seemed to take it to a whole other level. It was the perfect starting Path to learn how best to utilize the Runeweaver Profession, and more importantly than that, it killed two birds with one stone because it would allow him to apply the things he had learned about Stroke theory and Will Priming.

Sylas paid 10,000 Merits to start the program, a significant chunk. Let alone days, it would take years for most to gather this amount. It was, unsurprisingly, among the twelve most expensive of the Rune Paths to learn here as well.

But to Sylas, it might as well have been a drop in the bucket. He could exchange for all twelve and still only be 10% deep into his reserve of Merits.

Like he had said, Malikhi's worries all assumed Sylas wanted to exchange for a bunch of resources that would quickly boost his strength. But Sylas wasn't interested in such a thing.

There was nothing more valuable here than knowledge.

The room of white around Sylas shifted and the first parts of instruction began.

PING

An echo ran through the room and Sylas regained a hint of his focus several seconds later, as though he had been lost in an attempt to consolidate something.

[Perfection of the F-Grade Wispy Rune Path Achieved] [Reward: 27,000 Merits]

Sylas looked at the notification indifferently, swiped a hand at it, and directly dismissed it. Not only did activating the program not put much of a dent into his reserves, it would actually make him Merits.

Usually, this was the reward given to those that managed to use a Path to reach Perfect Spark Mastery, but Sylas didn't receive the reward for Perfect Spark Mastery because he was already a Perfect Spark Master.

Just like Malikhi had said, the guild only awarded forward progress. There was no cheating the system.
