Last Wish System Chapter 6
Advertisement
[System alert: Dexterity points increased from 7 to 8.]
Yale didn't expect to increase his Dexterity yet. He thought he would need at least another week, but he didn't include in his calculations the effects of his newly acquired Innate Talent.
Yale didn't use the system until he went back to his room, lacking that Dexterity point was something that had blocked him from doing anything else in the Quest Menu, except for his newly unlocked Dynamic Quests.
Yale seated in his room and went to the Quest Menu. Then he finished the Skill Quest he completed when obtained the eighth point in Dexterity.
Yale's Magic Latent Talent reached medium grade, and a new Skill Quest appeared, named [Magical talent upgrade: Medium-high]. The requirements followed the previous ones. At that moment, Yale required at least 9 points in the three mind-related stats.
Finishing the previous Quest also completed the requirements to finish [Elemental Affinity] and obtain a perfect grade Elemental Affinity. Yale didn't hesitate as he finished the Quest and quickly went to check what kind of elemental ability he had obtained.
The new line in the Innate Talent Menu was [Lightning Elemental Affinity: Perfect grade] with a simple description.
[The best affinity to practice Lightning magic.]
Then, Yale sighed.
"My luck is really bad."
It wasn't that the Lightning element was bad, but it was harder to practice than other elements with the same affinity, and the overall power of all the normal elements was almost the same. Thus, the Lightning element couldn't be considered popular.
There were seven normal elements: fire, water, wind, earth, Lightning, light, and darkness. Each had their pros and cons, but everyone acknowledged them as equals in general power.
However, the difficulty in training Lightning, light, and darkness was much greater than the others, so there were only a few people focused on them. Mainly because that was their only affinity and to choose any other element would be even slower to train, they were considered more difficult only in case they had the same affinity as the others.
The training speed was a little better than the healing element, which was a special class of affinity, but healing was something much more valuable, it was needed at least perfect grade affinity in five elements to compare in value to someone with a healing perfect grade affinity.
Yale recovered quickly. A perfect grade Elemental Affinity was good in any element. The Lightning wasn't the best to train quickly, but he originally didn't have even a single Elemental Affinity, he couldn't be picky.

Yale expected a new Skill Quest after completing the Elemental Affinity one, but no more Quests appeared.
"Well, perfect grade Innate Talents are rare. I already have a perfect grade Elemental Affinity, and I have a lot of chances for obtaining the perfect grade Archery Innate Talent, I mustn't be greedy."
Yale stopped thinking about the Skill Quests as there was one more thing that he should be able to do now that he completed more than three Skill Quests, the Main Chain Quest.
"Start the Main Chain Quest."
That time the Last Wish System started the Main Chain Quest.
[Main Chain Quest is starting. Every Main Chain Quest is composed of multiple sub-quests. There are four different Main Chain Quest options representing four different paths. The user needs to choose one. The user won't be able to change the choice afterward, please think carefully.]
Yale was startled, that was the first time the system asked him to choose something. After that, he immediately asked the system for more detailed information about every choice. At that time, Yale didn't want to make a mistake.
[The selected Main Chain Quest will help the user on his Path in the future. All the choices will give the user a practicing method for the chosen Path before finishing the first Main Chain Quest.]
[The first option is the Warrior Path. The conditions to obtain rewards and the rewards themselves would focus on the physical body. Based on the user's current progress, the chances to reach a Rank 1 Novice Warrior before sixteen years old while following the first Main Chain Quest are a hundred percent. By choosing the Warrior Path Main Chain Quest, the user will obtain the following reward: All physical stats will upgrade to 9.]
Yale's eyes opened as he heard the system, the reward of the Warrior Path was awesome, and following the Main Chain Quest, he would reach the Rank 1 Novice Warrior without a doubt. However, Yale wanted to hear all the options.
[The second option is the Magus Path. The conditions to obtain rewards and the rewards themselves will focus on the mind and magical spells. Based on the user's current progress, the chances to become a Rank 1 Novice Magus while before sixteen years old following the first Main Chain Quest are a hundred percent. By choosing the Magus Path Main Chain Quest, the user will obtain the following reward: Two perfect grade Elemental affinities.]
Yale was delighted. Two perfect grade Elemental affinities plus the perfect grade Lightning Elemental Affinity he already obtained were a total of three perfect grade Elemental affinities.

Even if it still couldn't compare to a perfect grade healing Elemental Affinity, at least Yale would be somewhat valued and would obtain a decent amount of resources once he joined the Nacesai Academy.
Yale was more biased towards the Magus Path from the start and had a hundred percent chance to reach Rank 1 Novice Magus, but he continued listening to the system. He was curious about the other two paths the system had yet to explain.
[The third option is the Ancient Archer Path. The conditions to obtain rewards and the rewards themselves will focus on both body and mind. Based on the user's current progress, the chances to become a Rank 1 Novice Archer before sixteen years old while following the first Main Chain Quest are fifty percent. By choosing the Ancient Archery Path Main Chain Quest, the user would obtain the following reward: Far Vision Special Innate Talent. Attention: The Ancient Archery Path has no relation to the modern archery in the user's world, it is a complete path of its own.]
Yale was without words. It had been a long time since the world lost the Ancient Archery Path, and then archery became a mixed and incomplete path, but with that Main Chain Quest, that lost Path could appear in the world again.
Furthermore, Yale was curious about what effects that Special Innate Talent had.
[Far Vision Special Innate Talent: Gives the user a vision capable of seeing in detail all things in less than one thousand meters.]
For an archer that Special Innate Talent was extremely useful. If an archer had enough Dexterity and Strength, it wouldn't be impossible to shoot arrows at the distance of hundreds of meters, but usually, the lack of line of sight limited the distance in which one could shoot with precision. Usually, long-distance shots were only done by a lot of archers at the same time solving the precision problem with quantity.
If there weren't any obstacles while using Far Vision, then an expert archer's might would become terrifying. However, it wasn't easy to have a battlefield without obstacles. Thus, it would become difficult to use the full strength of Far Vision unless the archer found a very high spot to shoot.
That was good to launch a sneak attack, but it would be impossible to use the Far Vision at max capacity in the middle of a battle. Even in that case, the Special Innate Talent would still be useful, but it was obvious that the main point of Far Vision was to launch sneak attacks.
The third option tempted Yale, but he still didn't want to choose anything before hearing all.
[The fourth option is the Origin Path. The conditions to obtain rewards and the rewards themselves will focus on being able to advance in the Origin Path. Based on the user's current progress, the chances to reach Rank 1 Novice before sixteen years old while following the first Main Chain Quest are ten percent. By choosing the Origin Path Main Chain Quest, the user won't obtain any reward. Attention: If the fact that the user has access to the Origin Path is made public, the user's chances of survival are almost zero.]
The last option seemed to tell Yale to avoid it and don't choose it. Only ten percent of success, no rewards for choosing it, and a death warning if the word spread. Even when he asked the details of the Origin Path to the system, he didn't get any reply.
On the other hand, that mystery surrounding the Origin Path was also attractive, and by being able to attract such a calamity if it were discovered by others, that Path seemed to be very special.
Yale had a battle inside his mind. All the options had good points and bad points.
The Warrior Path would solve the problem of Yale's weak body, and even without the system Main Chain Quest assistance Yale had confidence in also becoming a Novice Magus, but he would be alone on that Path.
The Magus Path would give Yale a very strong foundation to become a powerful Magus, but his body would be weak, and he probably wouldn't be able to reach Rank 1 Novice Warrior before turning sixteen.
The Ancient Archery Path was a lost path from ancient times. Its value was enormous, but when training that Path, it was impossible to become Magus or a Warrior due to incompatibility. By choosing the Ancient Archery Path, Yale could only become an archer.
The Origin Path was the most mysterious one. The information about that Path was non-existent, and its existence could create a calamity for Yale. Choosing that Path would be a very big bet, a bet with his future and his life on the line.
Yale meditated in silence until he made a decision, the most important decision he made in his whole life.

The Complete Alchemyst book 1
You've heard of superheroes, seen them flying across the sky, destroying great swaths of cities and ending countless innocent lives in order to defeat great evils and world-spanning threats and sell lots of sponsorships and merchandising opportunities. This is a story about the guy that is not those heroes. A supervillain in a world where making the right friends and political contacts is what separates the good guys from the bad. The Alchemyst is a story about a normal guy in a crazy world that spends his time trying to follow his dreams and conscience, working on new potions, thinking about girls, and lifting heavy shit, while trying to stay under the radar of the superheroes, supervillains, and governments that want what he can do. And occasionally turning them into makeshift melee weapons. If you enjoy The Boys, the Aberrant roleplaying game, Mystery Men, Trashy romances, Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, or SAW you may enjoy this book. Please note that this book has extremely graphic and sometimes gross fight scenes, heroes as villains, villains as heroes, opinionated and often politically incorrect characters, some graphic sex scenes, dad jokes, dirty jokes, realistic depictions of romance and flirting, bondage and dominance themes, and more than a few cuss words when they are really appropriate. This is NOT a superhero genre deconstruction. Many heroes truly are heroes, and they don't all need to be destroyed to make a good story, but it does look into the dark side of superpowers and the unreasonable and often contradictory demands placed on exceptional people.
