Use it to learn to craft Ignea Potion.

Call of the Sage (Active)

Summons a random monster from the undead realm

Leroy felt faint-headed looking at the items descriptions, compared to the current Half-Moon Set, this was far far more powerfull.

Specially this soul-weapon, he may not be capable of blocking or attacking with it but how was that a disadvantage compared to its powers?

If any other player where to see the crafting technique, skills, items or legacy that he aquired already, even top experts may feel the need to drop the game already.

He was level 10 now, after he acquired the new class, all of his stat points were reseted, meaning he has more than 40 Free Attribute Points now.

He then looked at his Character Panel, which showe a new class: Sage of Darkness.

Sage of Darkness (HIdden Class)

Talents: Obtain one point of intelligence every three levels.

Increase Dark Spells Damage by 20%.

Increase Level of Summoned creatures by 5.

All attributes +40 all resistances +40

He choose to add 30 Free Attribute Points to Int and 10 to Agi.

Thanks to the passives, he ended with: Int 33 | Agi 17 | Str 7 | End 7 | Vit 7|

After equipping the Nightmare Robes, Vlaric Star Ring, Tyche Necklace, and the Soul Orb, his stats jumped!

Player: Sensations

Afilliated Kingdom: Star-Moon

Level: 10

| STR 61 | AGI 91 | INT 158 | END 87 | VIT 65 | LUCK 30 |

His 158 Int stat gave him a 316 Magic Damage.

His Soul Orb would add 250% of user Int as Magic Damage

As a result, his basic damage would jump into a frightening 553 points!

And with his Ignore Levels, he woul not be suppresed by higher levels monsters.

His range of spells also increased, meaning his spells would reach further distances.

What player at level 10 had such an overwelming power? Moreover... al his dark spells would be of Tier 1!

His blood was boiling in excitment now, all that was left was to open the Treasure and Skill Treasure.

He took out the chest, and then activated the necklace skill [Tyche's Path] luck+100%.

As he opened the chest, the entire room in the cathedral brightened in blinding light.

There was one item on the treasure chest.

Acquired: Curse of Piet Skill Book

Curse of Piet

Curses the target: Decrease defense and resistances by 25%

Decrease attack and attack speed by 30%

Stamina consumption increased by 20%

He learned the book inmediatly, this was a very usefull curse .

With nothing much to do, he went to the shops in the town this time. Previously because he lacked a Necromancer related class, he couldn't use any items even if he could buy them, now it was different.

System: Purchased Tient Hood (Gold Rank)

System: Purchased Ghost Tiger Boots (Gold Rank)

System: Purchased: Gloves of Enc (Dark-Gold Rank)

System: Purchased Mass Fear Skill Book

System: Purchased Shield of Heity Skill Book

He brought a new Hood that increased his Int stat and magic penetration by 5%, a pair of boots that greatly improved his movement speed, it even had a dispel skill that cleaned any movement impairing debuff on the user, lastly a pair of Dark Gold rank gloves that increased his mana by 100% and mana recovery by 130%.

Mass Fear skill would cast fear to any enemy in a 10 meters area, it could definetly save a player's life on pve, and lastly, the Shield of Heity was the most expensive item that was for sale in the shop, it actually cost most of the items he acquired in the Undead Realm so far.

Shield of Heity (Active Skill)

Casts a shield that stops one physical atack, and knockbacks the target.

Knockback distance depends on the user's magic power.

The shield reduces damage taken by 40% for 15 seconds after being attacked.

Heals the target for 25% of the damage user would've received.

This was definetly a great life saving skill, most definetly worth the High Grade Undead Essence, Superior Bone Dust and many other items he had to exchange the skill for.

There wasn't anything more he wanted to do here and neither wanted to explore outside town, so he took the silver scroll and teleported himself to God's Domain.

Falling Moon Town.

As Leroy walked to Sedma's home, he noticed that the amount of players almost doubled, the top players in the level rankings were at level 7 to 9. yet as soon as he was transported to Falling Moon Town, he inmediatly occupied Rank 1 with his Level 10.

This sudden change in the rankings inmediatly triggered endless amount of discusion between players, seen a familiar name now in the first possition.

"Wasn't Sensastions an alchemist? How could he be Level 10 already?" Big guilds and independant players were all shocked by the sudden leap in the rankings, some expressed anger while other envy and admiration.

Oblivous to others toughts, he arrived at Sedma's place and explained to her what happened at the Undead Realm.

"I see... his legend is real" the old woman had mixed emotions on her face "This town will not be able to hold you any longer, with your current power, you should go to Teleportation Hall and go to White River City, more dangers and rewards awaits for you."

Leroy left Sedma's house after a few words, not getting any other reward from her, and went to the Auction House.

There, he brought some alchemy materials and put some equipment and potions for sale, he brought intermediate recovery potion recipes which were not expensive yet he couldn't find the materials for the Poltier Ignea Potion.

As there were much more new players, basic recipes would still be sold in high quantities, yet the profit margin was too low, he wouldn't lose his time with them anymore.

He brought all the herbs in the Auction House at a price so that once he crafted the potions, he would at least have a 40% profit.

Falling Moon Fruits were not much rare now, as players had already dominated the forest and gathered them.

Intermediate Alchemy Room

Different from the previous room he used, this one increased craft success rate by 5%

He spended hours crafting intermediate hp and mp potions, some Sensations Casting Potion.

System: Your Sensations Casting Potion in the Auction House has been sold

Acquired: 13 Silver 45 Copper

So much profit! He was glad to see a potion that didn't cost more than 30 Coppers to create, be sold at such a high price.

One could buy several pieces of Bronze-Rank equipment with that money.

After feeling satisfied with 1500 mp and hp potions, and more than 300 Casting ones, he went to sell them into the auction house.

Obviously, he kept enough for him, actually any player would consider "enough" as too much.

Not only did his technique improve his success rate, but it was actually much faster. Any other player would spend more than a week to craft this amount considering their relative low succes rate... probably there was no one in Falling Moon Town, as intermediate potions required Intermediate-Apprentice Rank to craft.

He searched the Auction House looking for equipment to fill his empty spots such as a cape, yet they were very rare drops.

He heard that after a system upgrade when he was out, the equipments durability fell fast, and repairing it at a blacksmith were expensive. For that reason a new item appeared in the game, Whetstones, it could repair the equipment durability and was much cheaper than doing so at an NPC.

"Who would have thought, that Hard Stone item regarded as trash would be so usefull now..."

Hard Stone was regarded as a trash item that mobs dropped, yet it was used to craft whetstones that guilds and teams desperately needed.

With equipment durability falling fast, players would have to travel back to a NPC to repair them, this would waste much of their time in travel alone, so the usefullnes of whetstones went without saying. He inmeadiatly brought a few that appeared in the Auction House menu, their price would only increase in the future.

Then, it was time to go some other place, he arrived at the town elder and after a short chat directed to the teleportation hall.

As he was arriving at the Teleportation Hall, a system announcement shocked the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.

Star-Moon Kingdom Region System Announcement:

Congratulations to Ye Feng for becoming the first player in Star-Moon Kingdom to arrive at a city! Rewarding 20 Reputation Points in White River City and the title of Honorary Citizen of White River City.

"Someone was actually faster than me..." He didn't think much of the system announcement and directly entered the teleportation array.

Star-Moon Kingdom Region System Announcement:

Congratulations to Sensations for becoming the second player in star-Moon Kingdom to arrive at a city! Rewarding 15 Reputation Points in White River City and the title of Honorary Citizen of White River City.
