Alex started to walk toward the Spirit Association. The Spirit Association is the largest and strongest power in the world. The association is run by 9 spirits, each corresponding to an element inside the world. These Spirits can be considered deities; however, they aren't considered as such. Alex was looking at his status while walking and started to make some adjustments. He sacrificed the titles Speaker of Truth and Destroyer of Violet Royals, which upgraded the True Soul Title immensely. Alex equipped the full amount of titles he could equip and then looked at his status with satisfaction.

He also looked at the items he had gotten from the Fire Cave dungeon. He had gotten a Light-Gold item from being the first to clear it on Hell difficulty. Then the boss dropped 2 Dark-Gold and an Epic item. Along with 15 Secret Silver items he had special plans for. First, he used the Sub-Skill Flaw on the three main items.

The Orb of Fire was just an orb that had a flame that constantly changed colors. The Robe of Scarlet was a bright scarlet robe with golden and black lining. The Fiery Sword was a bright red long sword with a pitch-black sheath and handle. The handle had golden flames that interlaced with blue flames. Alex had plans on keeping the Orb of Fire and, depending on his class, he would either keep the Scarlet Robe or the Fiery Sword. The other one he would auction off with his other equipment. A few minutes later, he had arrived at the Spirit Association. The association was inside a special building called the Truth Obelisk. It was an item that appeared as a building and was ancient. It was said to be something that was created at the beginning of the universe. Of course, Alex never found out where it exactly came from. What Alex knew was that it was at the very least a Divine item or even higher. It's inside every main city, and each building is connected. Unfortunately, you are unable to teleport through the building, and instead, you have to use the teleportation arrays. It was also owned by the Spirit Association and its main headquarters. The inside of the building was a simple large lobby. The lobby was filled with people waiting in line, talking with people at the counters, and talking with each other. Alex walked up to the line and waited until it was his turn. After half an hour, Alex walked up to the counter after being called. The receptionist was a beast woman, more specifically a woman from the Cat tribe. She had brown hair and brown eyes, and her smile was one of a predator. She then said in a friendly voice,

"Hey Sir! How can I help you?"

"I would like to apply for a Tier 1 promotion quest."

"Oho! A promotion quest. It's been a while since I've issued one of these."

"Mhm. I'd also like to auction a few items."

"Alright, please fill out this form for each item."

Alex tapped each item he wanted to sell, recording its information for potential buyers. He then set the minimal bid, starting bid, and put them up for sale. He auctioned everything except for the Fire Resistance recipe, Fiery Sword, Robe of Crimson, and the Orb of Fire. He then gave the items and forms to the receptionist. Afterward, she gave him a key. Alex used his Sub-Skill Flaw to look at its information.

[ Bronze Key

Rank: Unranked

A by-product of the ——————

This item lets the person using it summon a door that teleports them to the Tier 1 promotion quest. ]

Alex thanked the receptionist and immediately used the Key. Afterward, a door appeared in front of him. The door was snow-white, and its handle was a beautiful sky blue. Alex opened the door and looked at the familiar system messages that appeared.

[ You have entered the Tier 1 promotion quest ]

[ What difficulty do you choose?

Normal, Hard, Hell, Hero, Mortal, Immortal]

Alex looked at the difficulties available and immediately abandoned the Mortal and Immortal options. The Mortal option is the absolute limit of a Mortal, while the Immortal option is meant for Ancient Gods and high-level deities. Alex wasn't sure if he could complete the Hero difficulty as it was something meant for people who had transcended their limits. Alex knew that if he didn't take any risks, he would never improve. With determination in his eyes and a cold glint, he chose the Hero difficulty.

The door that was out of place inside the lobby emitted a beautiful and mesmerizing amethyst glow. The people inside looked at the door in shock and watched how the door disappeared
