Ignoring the kind of insulting skill name, Crow let out a flutter of joy, when he realised he now has enough faith to break through a minor realm. Although most gods make their first breakthrough after a few days they usually have close to 100 followers at this time. Crow with only 5 is really an oddity.

But Crow is an unusual god to begin with, I mean what irresponsible person almost dies because they are too busy playing with children's toys or gains the poser skill after just 2 days since their birth.

Well Crow can't help it if he thinks all his clothes look good on him. Besides no one told him to stop.

...

Now Crow feels lonely.

Looking down on Alderney Crow watches Jacob try to sneak out of his house before being caught and denied by his tutor.

At least he has Jacob for company.

Now it is time for Crow to breakthrough, Jacob did so why can't he.

As crow sits down on the bed, the faith in his body starts to condense into divinity, one after the other, when suddenly creaks started to appear in the divinity and liquid divinity poured out into his soul.

Crow then gathers the liquid into his centre and forms a small orb of divine liquid.

This divine liquid made from condensed faith is the foundation of Crows godhead.

After a few hours of gathering the divine liquid in his soul, Crow opens his system panel to see the new information.

When Crow had a breakthrough to the middle deity the changes were as expected a small increase to his stats and one of his bloodline skills improved as his bloodline also improved slightly. Not enough to improve its grade but enough to level up a skill.

What he is happy about though is the increase in followers while his breakthrough. Although most of the rumours about him had been hushed, there are a few people piecing things together believing I have the ability to improve ones task grade.

Crow wasn't going to say anything about that as more faith for him, tee hee.

but what Crow was most excited about wasn't his stats, skills or his surprise followers, but the glow the divine liquid brings to his skin and feathers. Crows eyes now have a faint sparkle and his skin now glistens under the light brought by an imaginary sun.

His feathers became sharper around the stalk giving him a more prominent look but somehow a soft comfy feel.

For Crow the warmth of his blood is enough to bring him to bliss.

The divine kingdom has grown slightly, now instead of looking like a small bedroom, it looks like a small hall.

He decorated the walls with large stone pillars in a style similar to what Jacobs manor looks like. as they rise to the ceiling thick fluffy clouds cover the walls allowing a smooth translation to the infinite illusion of a clear sky depicting the sky above Jacobs house.

at the moment he can feel the simulated warmth of daybreak on his skin.

Shaking out of his self admiration Crow takes a look at Jacobs stats.

When did Jacob get so beefy?

He's already halfway to the peak of his race. When entities reach the peak of their racial talent, it becomes extremely difficult to level up. With each level up more exp is required until not even the system knows how much exp is required to level up.

However it is achievable but neither Jacob nor Crow knows how, what they do know is that ones grade is likely to increase. However ones grade can not increase past grade 10, making it so no matter how hard a low potential race works they can never beat a high potential race.

For example; the human race generally caps out at lv 15 for grade 1, while elves first grade cap is at lv 25; dragons with monstrous potential cap at lv 100-200, depending on the dragon.

This is what makes heroes so special as their grade is able to surpass the natural limit becoming an existence similar to a god. This is why many heroes have god like abilities such as near true immortality becoming holy spirits after they die.

With each level up the stats will increase and it becomes easier to improve low level skills. When a grade increases the effects are multiple times better with an improvement of bloodline and talent.

Sorry for a stat heavy chapter!
