"Ten blank scrolls. They'll come in handy once I create my 27 subordinates," he mused. The empty scroll proves useful if your imagination is up to par. He was aware that he'd soon acquire more subordinates, so getting more of these empty scrolls is a must.
Rasoul has devised some truly impressive skills using them. Having numerous subordinates has its perks, but it comes with a cost. Rasoul knew he'd need extra resources to consistently improve his subordinates.
The Empty Scrolls hold a distinct advantage, as he can't be aware of every desire his subordinates harbor. With their unique preferences, providing them with the blank scrolls is the sole means to guarantee they attain what they desire in the manner they prefer."
[Hidden Reward]
[Ability Upgrade Pass]
>>This pass can upgrade any upgradeable ability to the next tier utterly free without any added cost.
Another one. I guess I will use it to upgrade the Minds Eye ability.
'System, you know the drill already. Upgrade Mind's eye to the next tier.
[Minds Eye Upgrade initiated...]
[Upgrade will take 5 minutes]
After five minutes, Rasoul heard a ding, so he checked...
[Upgrade Complete]
[Congratulations to the host; the Mind's eye ability has evolved to Omega Eye]

"System, what tier has this newly evolved ability reached, and when did the capacity for Abilities to evolve come into effect?
[It's now a tier 3 ability, and abilities can evolve as long as they meet specific requirements. Your mental strength has now reached a level where it can withstand the effects of this ability, leading to the evolution of the Mind's Eye.]
"So, what's the cost to elevate it to the next tier? I aimed for the 'Weakness' function, which hasn't manifested in this recently evolved version.
[A word of advice, Host: Avoid relying solely on finding a quick solution for every situation. Sometimes, your abilities may falter, so instead of seeking the easy way out, learn to discern weaknesses independently. However, if you're set on upgrading, you'll need 100 million fire points.]
"Thanks, system. I didn't know you dished out advice. We should make this a regular thing." Rasoul couldn't resist taking a playful jab at the system. Despite the truth in the system's counsel, he still craved the feature to identify weaknesses. Rasoul's inspiration stemmed from the adage, 'Knowing your enemy's weaknesses is the first step in defeating them.'
[Quest: Kill The Saint Realm Guardian]
[Rewards:]
>>200,000,000 Fire Points
>>100,000 Attribute points
>>Ability Upgrade Pass
>>One Teleportation Scroll
>>Ten empty Scroll
>>2 Hidden Rewards
[Rewards have been upgraded due to the Saint Beast Rising to Sage Beast]
Rasoul wasn't aware when the system upgraded the rewards due to the state he was in during that time.
'Another ability upgrade pass. Well, it's time I upgraded my Necro-Smith ability.
'System, it's time we upgrade the Necro-Smith.
[Necro-Smith Upgrade initiated...]
[Upgrade will take 10 minutes]
After ten minutes, Rasoul heard a ding, so he checked...
[Upgrade Complete]
[New Function added to the Necro-Smith ability]
[New Function: Merge]
>>The host can now combine two or more classes to create a new one, which can be granted to the Subordinate during creation.
[Note: The class will naturally evolve as the subordinate ascends in Realms]
'System, can you provide more details?
[It's straightforward. You can combine classes to create entirely new, distinctive classes. The resulting class will be unique, inheriting properties from both blended classes.]
'Damn, This is too OP. The rest of my subordinates will have unique classes for themselves. I can create overpowered beings with potentials greater than even Lara. That is just great.
[The host is encouraged to exercise caution, as the newly formed class will exert both physical and psychological effects on the subordinate.]
'You need not be concerned. I will be mindful of the boundaries and limitations in the process.'
"Wow, this is seriously overpowered.
"What's got you so thrilled?" Rasoul spoke aloud with a wide grin after reading the newest function of his ability, prompting Lara to question him.
"I can now fuse two or more classes to create a new one that I can bestow upon my subordinate during creation," Rasoul replied.
"Isn't that excessively powerful?" Lara couldn't help but ask, her curiosity evident.
"Yeah, I can now craft unique individuals like you and Sabrat...
He is overjoyed, not even considering that fusing some potentially dangerous classes might result in creating a powerful yet unstable subordinate.
Rasoul immediately returned to the system to check the next reward.
[One Teleportation Scroll]
--Enables teleportation from any location to a previously visited destination.
'Good one. At least it can save my and my subordinates' lives in dire situations.
[Hidden Rewards:]
[Scroll: Soulbane Parchment]
--To activate the Soulbane Parchment, a proficient soul magic practitioner must invest significant spiritual energy into the scroll. Once activated, the parchment unleashes a surge of soul-damaging energy, resonating with the essence of living souls. This resonance triggers a rapid and irreversible collapse of the target's soul, resulting in the immediate demise of the target.
[Note: This scroll can be used only once, requiring substantial soul energy to activate.]
'Sounds like a valuable tool for a rainy day. I should start acquiring life-saving items like this soon.

"What the heck, System? I have no idea what to do with a music technique.
[You'll figure something out soon enough.]
'This is unfair. I almost died fighting that sage beast; all I got was this useless technique. Swap it with something else.
[No can do, Host. You get what you get.]
Rasoul is infuriated by the technique he received from the system. Having no affinity for music, being gifted a music technique feels like an insult to his pride as a warrior. Unbeknownst to Rasoul, this music technique will soon prove invaluable and play a pivotal role in his ascent as the Supreme One.
"I suffered for this useless technique," Rasoul subconsciously blurted out loud.
"What useless technique are you talking about?" Lara asked, prompting Rasoul to realize he had said that out loud.
"Oh, it's a music technique I received from the system. I don't know why it did that, but I don't think I need a music technique, or maybe it's just mocking me," Rasoul spoke with a slight frown.
"On the bright side, you can always create a subordinate with a high Music Affinity so that the technique won't go to waste," Lara said, displaying her intelligence and problem-solving skills yet again.
"You are a genius, Lara," Rasoul said as he kissed Lara's soft lips, but before they could go any further, Sabrat spoke as he entered the room.
"I am backkkkkkkkk...Sorrrryyy
BAM
