Reborn as God: The strongest system

Esdras returned back and comforted Celine, soon she went back to sleep and Esdras left the room. He climbed up one of the few towers that remained intact in the fortress.

At that very high peak, he felt a refreshing breeze blowing on him and it brought him a sense of peace.

He had consumed three Origin points, two in the first divination and one in the second. This was a costly ability.

Especially since Origin points were very hard to acquire, and he still hadn't figured out a way to get many of them, except for clearing dungeons.

He may even have to be the first to clear the dungeon in order to get anything. This was a very hard currency to obtain.

To be honest, he wanted to divine the future of the world to verify the truth.

But he was actually apprehensive of the backlash after all, if even a monster like that was scared of it then someone like him might not be able to withstand it.

So he decided to hold on for a bit. Instead, he decided to use eight points to increase his talent. The better his talent, the faster he would be able to grow.

With a thought, the screen that only he could see flashed and a message appeared.

[Error! Unqualified actions cannot be approved.]

[Further enhancement is only possible after absorbing one or more divine shards.]

Esdras was dismayed, to think that he would face such a letdown. So, for some reason, his talent could not be upgraded above level three without absorbing the next divine shard.

But the problem was, he did not even know where the next divine shard was.

However, now that he could use divination, not only could he figure out where the divine shard was hidden, he could also figure out the best time to take it.

Divination was such a powerful ability.

The problem was the amount of origin points this would cost, was it worth it to use his few remaining points on this?

His talent was already good right now; it was just that he was lacking time and resources, i.e spells. That being the case he still would prefer to know where the shard was.

But perhaps he should wait on it, it was not an easy decision. It was because not all divinations cost the same amount because some cost more than others.

So instead of using any more origin points, he decided to hold onto them until he made up his mind.

Seeing that he was highly dependent on dungeons he figured that he should create some kind of organization to seek out dungeons out there.

He only found this one by complete accident, so finding dungeons that were scattered throughout the world would be extremely difficult, especially since he had to learn spells and perform duties for the magic tower.

There was another way that he could check up on the pharaoh's claims without using any origin points. There was another tab in the system, which indicated the level of the world.

The first time he checked it, the world was at level 2.5 which he found odd back then. This time it looked like this:

Arandos, world level: 2.6

It had indeed increased, this was proof that the level of the world was actually increasing. It was indeed, as that pharaoh had said. At least about this part.

However, it was still 2.5 just a month ago and it increased right now of all times? Was that just a coincidence?

He could not help but remember that he was the one who discovered and cleared the first dungeon in Arandos. For some reason, that felt like a trigger and he was the one who pulled it.

He also remembered one of the messages that he got when he cleared the dungeon, it said: the mirrors are merging.

He recalled that the pharaoh said that the shadow realm and the spirit realm were considered mirrors of the material world. This meant that he accelerated the arrival of the apocalypse himself.

He could not be sure of anything else, after all, the best lies always had some bits and pieces of the truth, mixed in them. However, he was still ignorant and lacked a lot of information.

He could imagine just how easy it would be to trick him. It was no different than the thousands and hundreds of thousands of scammers that managed to scam tourists.

He had to level the playing field in order to actually protect himself. And he knew just how to attempt doing that. Although he was not sure what he could get out of it, it was a start at least.

Next, he turned his attention to another trait that was previously grayed out, Memory slots. He did not know when he was able to use this memory slot precisely, but if he had to guess then it was probably when he became a rank 2 being.

Finally, he gathered his courage and focused his mind on the memory slot. And suddenly a lot of information was injected into his mind.

There was a lot of general information about the universe, and material worlds, the planes of existence, the great void and the great powers that collided with one another all the time.

He also understood why the pharaoh used the word mortal so much, it was, because in the classifications of the great worlds. Beings of ranks 1-4 are considered mortals.

Beings of rank 5 and 6 were considered Higher beings, creatures that had shed their mortal coil and deserved to rule over lesser beings. Rank 5 was called the realm of lords.

He did not get much information about the ranks after that.

But he didn't get a lot of information about the levels of the world, how they were classified, and the huge problem that was facing him right now.

The shackles of the divine shard. There was a rank limit put on him according to the amount of divine shards he had.

And right now because he had one divine shard, his limit was rank 3. If he wanted to increase his limit, he needed to absorb another divine shard.
