Chapter 1123: The Path Forward
"What do you plan to do when you’re back home for the day? Catch up on some of the backlog of orders?" Cindy asked as they walked through the city, now accompanied by the transformed figures of Rae and Thor, who were admiring the city as they went.
"While there certainly will be plenty of that, and I do need to go over many of the tricks of the trade with our new members, I am also going to be spending some time working on my own power.
One of my skills increases my abilities as I improve the Power Matrix, the mental focus array thingy. So, I need to train that, work on my mana density, and then get started on the comprehension of Fundamental Rules." Karl replied.
The other Totems all laughed.
"If it was that easy, we would all have made Mythic by now, but we do wish you luck learning the fundamental rules of reality." Cindy replied.
Marcus, the other mage in their group, frowned and nodded in agreement.
"What fundamental rule were you going to go after? I only recently got the System to recognize that I had a minor affinity to Arcane Magic." He asked.
Karl shrugged. "The System says I have compatibility with Fire, Chaos and Mana Manipulation. I was thinking of starting with the third, because it works with all spells in some ways, but it will also help my crafting."
"That is quite the rule to have any compatibility with. The Fundamental Rules are not only core to reaching Mythic Rank, but I am told that only the complete understanding of one can be used to reach immortality." Marcus replied.
