Chapter 99: Rune Language
At first glance, the power system of this world looked very simple—or that’s what Kael assumed. There were simply Ranks which one needed to climb up by killing monsters and other races.
It seemed so simple, as it was basically the power system of almost every LitRPG out there.
But the more he delved into it, the more he understood it, the more he got to know how deep and dangerous it truly was.
Evolution and Leveling Up were tied up so closely that without the first one, the second one was impossible. One couldn’t even push through their limits simply by working hard and having the hardest will.
If they did, they were bound to get Corrupted.
In a way, the higher one went in the rankings, the more chances they had of getting Corrupted. After all, their souls would be stretched and would have more chances of letting in corruption.
Of course, it wasn’t that easy to get Corrupted, as everyone had different means to resist it. Some could even do it simply by their sheer will.
It truly expanded Kael’s horizon and reminded him of the dangers he had to face if he wanted more power. It came with a cost that many didn’t have the capabilities to pay.
But he was ready to pay that cost even without the power, so he didn’t really care.
Shaking his head at his thoughts, Kael focused on the matter at hand and said, "This is why you should never try to rank up without having confidence. Without a powerful soul, your ranking up simply means allowing the corruption to seep into you."
The lion family nodded with solemn looks on their faces. They had seen the outcome of Nyraxx in that dungeon who was Corrupted, and not even in a million years did they want to end up like that.
They would prefer death over turning into those disgusting monsters.
