The Rise Of A Porter

Chapter 134 - Perfectionist

Arnold woke up as if there was an emergency, it felt as if sleeping had became a dangerous activity for him. His heart was beating faster than ever and there was a constant buzzing sound in his brain and together they were a cause of distress for him. The forced exertion from the previous night finally got to him. He thought being tired would help him get peaceful sleep but no, his weird nightmares just had to chase him.

It was the same nightmare like the last time... Only this time it was even more intense. The thing which troubled him the most was the presence of the unknown man who kept pushing him back to hell. He wanted to see the man's face but couldn't... The only he could see was that the man hand a trident in his hands, his weirdly blue throat, but the thing which caught his attention was the snake that was coiled up on the man's neck as if it was some sort of an ornament.

He instinctively looked out of the window, the sun was still up. Despite being tired, he barely managed to sleep for a couple of hours. He shut his eyes once again and covered them with his elbow and forearm, but the moment he did so, the images from his nightmare once again started flashing in front if his eyes.

'Just who was that man!? What does he wants from me!' Arnold thought as he got up from the bed, he was still tired but he didn't want to have anymore nightmares so getting up was the only option for him, 'I guess this day will pass as if I am hungover, not from drinks, but from the nightmares that demand solutions and sadly I don't have any.'

It's not like he was going sulk around in a corner for not getting enough sleep. He had work to do, in fact a lot of work. He quickly opened his interface to check the amount of EXP he had gained after killing the monsters last night. A smile slowly found its way to Arnold's lips. He had expected to earn ton of EXP but when he actually saw the six figure amount all his tiredness vanished.

He had earned an astounding amount of 490,526 exp in a single night!

'At least something good came out of that ordeal. Finally I can level up my blood maniac subclass. Hell I can even upgrade Engineering Pioneer subclass while I'm at it!'

His day had taken a turn for the better. Upgrading the <Blood Maniac> subclass took around 200,000 EXP out of his earned EXP, he also spent 10,000 EXP to max out the <Engineering Pioneer> subclass. He was left with about 280,000 surplus EXP that he couldn't do anything with.

Upgrading his subclasses also max out the skills related to them, unlocking new perks and upgrading the existing ones. His mana pool was also increased substantially, thanks to the mana moulding ability, he now had over 20,000 mana and the blood runes could now store upto 8 different abilities instead of 5! The success rate of Blood Bond had also increased. But the detailed information of the BLOODLUST ability were still hidden. He tried to access it but a notification popped up stating that he had to evolve the present <Blood Maniac> subclass to use the ability. Sadly he didn't have a way to do that as of that moment so he had to let go of it.

But <Blood maniac> wasn't the only class he upgraded. Upgrading the <Engineering Pioneer> subclass also unlocked various effects, the most prominent one being the new effect under <Quick Dismantling> ability, it was called, <Self Repair> which essentially enabled his automatons to automatically repair upto 30% of damage on their own, while they were indulged in combat. There were also a few other upgrades as well which reduces the cost of repairing and making automatons.

Arnold was happy with all the upgrades he received, unknown to the fact that his happiness was about to get doubled.

The moment he closed his interface, various notifications popped up on his interface, most of them were regarding his upgrades, he scrolled through those and selected the notification that he wanted to check out first.

___

• MASTER OF BLOOD :

[ INTRODUCTION ] : You might be a creationist who can create anything he desires, but the thirst for blood is ever growing.

[ TASK ] : Upgrade the <Blood maniac> subclass to its maximum level.

[ PROGRESS ] : COMPLETED!

___

"Finally! One of the sub quests is over!" He let out a sigh of relief. It would take a while before he completed the entire quest, but at least he took his first step towards it.

But the system had more in store for him, because yet another notification popped up on his interface. It wasn't a usual notification but he knew what this notification was all about because he had already seen this type of notification twice before...

"Did I receive a new title?" He mumbled and hurriedly opened the notification to read it's contents.

___

You've achieved a new title!

Name: [Perfectionist]

<This title is achieved by maxing out all of your existing subclasses. The effect of classes/subclasses you learn after earning this title would be automatically adjusted to this title's effects>

Effect: Increases the effect of class specific abilities by 6%

___

"Class specific abilities? What are those?"

___

Class specific abilities are the abilities that you get after earning a class/subclass. In other words these are the abilities that are exclusive to a certain class/subclass.

___

"This day keeps getting better and better!" He exclaimed happily, "I better hurry and complete the other things that I wanted to, before my luck runs out."

He recalled all the things he had to do, which included his plans to analyse the beast collar and blood concoction that the Church used to control monsters and humans, and then he had to make weapons and gears for his summons from the materials he gained last night after killing the horde of monsters.

But before all that, he had to feed the Wyvern egg first, after all, it had been a couple of days since he last fed something to it and now, was the opportunity to do so since, he had blood from a variety of monsters which he could use to feed the egg, let it be human blood, or blood of monsters like goblins, ogres, and trolls.

While he internally debated on whose blood should he feed to the egg, he opened a portal to void and stepped through it. All the corpses of the monsters, he and his summons had killed last night were waiting for him inside.

"It's awfully quiet here..." Arnold mumbled when he saw the were only a few of his summons inside the void, "Oh right, I sent most of them away to scout out the areas around the base for presence of monsters... I wonder if they managed to found anything."
