336: A Quest of Great Prominence

Chapter 336: A Quest of Great Prominence

—

Putting aside Da Vinci, Neji was halfway done with his immediate goal. Which was to subdue the three Goddesses.

Though he was only after two of the three goddesses; Gorgon was an enemy who would be dealt with likewise. Only Quetzalcoatl and Ereshkigal are the ones whom Neji was after. The former was already caught, too.

"Speaking of, Sisty, shouldn't I have got a quest for that? I subdued a Tier 15 dragon goddess, who is also one of my targets."

Standing by a large window and looking outside, Neji asked Sisty who was busy fixing the palace behind him.

"Ah right,"

Sisty paused in her spot and blinked.

"I forgot to show you. A quest did come, but since you were already down and fighting I didn't want to distract you. After that, I forgot to remind you."

"…."

Neji turned around to look at her dryly.

"I am thankful that you didn't pop that up when I was fighting but did you really forget to mention it after? What got you so busy? Hey, are you slacking right now? Should I just send you back to my head?"

"…."

Sisty had no excuse and apologized.

"Sorry, I will be careful next time. Don't worry, as Quetzalcoatl has been defeated, the Quest has been completed anyway. So you will get the reward. Here you go."

With a snap of her finger, a hologram panel popped up in front of Neji's eyes.

===

Quest: The Chief Goddess of the Aztec Pantheon, Quetzalcoatl, has attacked your Kingdom. How will you deal with her?

Main Objective: Stop Quetzalcoatl before she earns 100 kills.

Bonus Objective 1: Defeat Quetzalcoatl, no matter if alone, teaming up or cheating.

Bonus Objective 2: There can only be one Lion in the pack, the others are just lionesses. Dominate Quetzalcoatl completely and prove to her who the superior Dragon is.

Main Objective Reward: [10 Levels], 20x HP Potions, 30x Mana Potions, 50x Stamina Potions.

Bonus Objective 1 Reward: [40 Levels]. The Sub-Class [Caster] will be evolved to [Lumomancer].

Bonus Objective 2 Reward: [100 Levels]. Your existing Divinity, the [Dragon Icon] will triple in its stat boosts and also lose the debuff it's under!

===

A whopping 150 levels…

That was 7% of his initial 2000 Levels, the base of the debuff. So right now, he was only 82% debuffed compared to after the 4th Great Ninja War. He even earned 171 Levels after coming here, so he wasn't doing that bad.

"Hah, wait,"

Neji smiled weirdly.

"Nah. 'Only 82%'? 'That bad'? Why am I thinking like that?"

Fuck, this was affecting him in a bad way. He was too optimistic. After all, he shouldn't have been nerfed, to begin with…! If not for that, he might have reunited with Ryukyu by now.

Sighing, he decided to ignore it. No point in crying over spilled milk.

Neji intentionally avoided the 2nd reward and moved to the 3rd reward. That was very interesting too.

The Divinity [Dragon Icon] was something he earned in the Naruto world upon reaching level 500. All of his divinities were under debuff too, however the reward said the debuff would be lifted for this. It was a natural reward, having dominated a God of Dragons.

However, it was three times more efficient too. That was a little surprising.

===

Divinity: Dragon Icon

Source: Reaching Level 500

Details: There are beings in this world who are born as the personification of abstract concepts—called the Abstract Beings. These abstract concepts, and any concepts in general, have a peculiar weight to their existence. A few very capable individuals can connect to these concepts despite not being born as it. The "Dragon Icon" is a power that is connected to the concept of what a dragon is and should be in essence, allowing the bearers of this icon the many powers and authorities of a dragon (beyond what they own already).

Current Effects:

(1) Strength of a Dragon. [+1500 STR]

(2) Wisdom of a Dragon. [+1500 WIS]

(3) Wrath of a Dragon. [+1500 DEX]

===

Now, this was a power spike, indeed. As he was under 90% debuff before, that meant the initial 500 Stats were only worth 50 Stats. So it was a 1450 stats spike!

Neji smiled and rubbed the back of his head.

"Hey, I feel a little relaxed all of a sudden. Technically the reward was already given when I completed the Quest, but actually knowing the effects is different."

Each of Neji's stats, on average, was in the 7000s right now. Due to the debuff, it was around 700. So a spike of 1500 in the main three stats was something to be cheerful about.

He was more than just twice as strong before the Quetzalcoatl fight.

Though he had long passed this threshold of strength, it felt good to grow like this.

Finally, it was time to check the thing that interested him the most.

"The Caster Sub-Class that I got from Gil just evolved. Sisty, explain to me the class [Lumomancer]."

"Sure,"

Sisty nodded and a page popped up before his eyes.

===

You are growing darkness, thanks to your Voidmancer Class. At the same time, you are one with the Yin-Yang Release, which is a different but similar application to Darkness and Light.

Now, you have defeated a Goddess of Light, the Goddess of Venus. That, and also have another subordinate of similar Venus and Light divinity, Goddess Ishtar. With all these achievements, it's about time you balance your Yin-Yang Release with its main form.

In both opposition and assistance to your Voidmancer class, the father of Light/Solar/Stellar/White-Hole Magic, the Lumomancer Subclass is born….!

However, do not let the word 'Sub' confuse you with this being weaker. Though the Voidmancer was made with the soul of the Primordial, and the Lumomancer was born from mere achievements, it's not a lower class.

Due to the rivaling yet assisting nature between light and darkness, the Lumomancer is a class that can match the Voidmancer…! Such is only possible due to the Gamer System's innate nature to keep its user 'Perfect', so Void can't be the only prominent thing in your existence.

Congratulations, Light and Darkness have achieved harmony within you, you are one step ahead to comprehending your 'Tale'!

*[Note]: The class cannot work as of yet. Sadly, if the Class is assigned right now, the Debuff will break entirely…! As that will hinder the goal of the Grail to hide the Gamer's location from the Prime Gods.

===

Neji couldn't stop smiling. Sure, he couldn't use it as of yet, but it was like waiting to eat a fine meal as it cooked before your eyes. He couldn't not be excited!

As for it being as powerful as the Voidmancer class, it made sense to him. The Gamer System's obsession with 'perfection' was enough for his CHA to not get affected by the Holy Grail's effect. So something wasn't impossible.

After all, the creator of the System was by beings who were beyond omnipotence.

But seriously, he couldn't wait. When Voidmancer was first gained, it leveled up to Level 2 right away. That happened because Neji was Level 290 back then, and one Class Level was equal to one hundred main levels. So, as he was Level 2171 right now, he was sure the Lumomancer class will be Level 21, coming 22 Skills, if he had unblocked it now.

Just as Neji was getting more excited, a message popped before his eyes.

[The Will of the Omniverse is curious to see what a fusion between the Voidborn and Lightborn will be, once you master both classes…!]

Neji blinked. Was the Omniverse's Will still watching him? Speaking of, what was it anyway? He needed to ask Loli Luck about it someday.

Also, a Lightborn. Neji called a line from his Voidmancer page.

```Once the class is Mastered, the Gamer will have all the abilities of a Voidborn.```

So the same must be for Lumomancer, right? Neji was looking forward to it.

Neji smiled at the air.

"Thank you for looking after me. I too am excited to see what that will give me."

Neji now had another goal other than saving his girls. Level 10000. If he were to reach that level, both his Classes will be Level 100s. That's most likely the requirement to master a class. So, that's when he should be enough to free Luck from her confinement.

That's when he should be strong enough to go toe-to-toe against the strongest of creatures. The Prime Gods.

Suddenly, the future seemed a little clearer ahead of him. Neji felt relieved and more confident than ever. He could only imagine how he would feel when he unlocked the class.

"Wait a second,"

Neji looked down at his chest.

"Fate. Is this her doing?"

She said her blessing will help him in ways that he couldn't imagine. She mentioned that the first Gamer too had Light and Darkness powers. So was it for her help that he attained this? So that his chances of survival increased, with an additional power?

Neji clenched his fist and looked up at the sky.

"I don't know if you're watching this, but hey, I am different from the First. His Void class was from Oblivion, so his Light class should have been of the same rank. But mine derive from the Primordial God. Both classes do."

Neji went silent for a bit, before smiling.

"So, a large part of me believes that history will not repeat itself."

A quest that he thought will be normal—a day that he assumed will start in the usual manner—turned out to be one that will change his life forever.

….

"Seriously Sisty, how could you not tell me this right away?!"

"I-I am sorry!"

Master4thWall: Neji is growing, and the growth isn't just against the debuff! For some who had been confused as to why the Gamer System is truly considered so dangerous—this is the answer.

It created a counter(?) to a class made from the Primordia's soul, with no difficulty at all.

However, will that be enough to match the Primordial Wife who is after him this time?
