My Cultivation System Chapter 154
Advertisement
Inside the inheritance building,
Soon, ten minutes passed by as Henrick stood up and stretched his body a little.
"Trial master, I am ready for my next trial,"
After stretching a bit, Henrick asked the trial master for his next trial.
'Ding,
Challenger, before taking the next trial, you can buy some items that might help you in the trial.
However, the trial master sent a system notification suggesting he buy some items from the soul store.
"Currently, I don't need anything, trial master. Moreover, I am saving my crude souls for some specific items. So, I will check them after my challenger rank is increased,"
Henrick didn't think much before rejecting the trial master's suggestion.
'Ding,
As you wish, the challenger.
The trial master didn't force him to buy any item as he started the process of selecting the next trial for Henrick.
'Ding,
Selecting a random Level 0 trial for the challenger.
'Ding,
Trial 'Comprehend' has been selected.
'Ding,
Please go to room number 99 to complete the trial.
Soon, Henrick's sight was filled with a series of system notifications and his next-level 0 trial was selected and he was asked to enter trial room number 99.
"Huh? Comprehend?"
Henrick raised his brows as he felt a little disappointed with the trial because just from the trial name alone he could see there would be no beasts or killing.
'Looks like I earned so many crude souls that the trial master didn't want to give any beast killing trials,'
Henrick silently thought in his head before walking towards trial room number 99.
'Anyway, as long as I complete this trial, I will ask for a level-ascending trial,'
Nevertheless, he was excited when he thought this was his last level 0 trial and entered the room.
'Swoosh'
"Is the inheritance building connected to various locations?"

Just like always, the surrounding around him was completely different and he curiously looked at his surroundings because each and every location he had gone in each trial room looked very realistic as though the inheritance building could connect the various places in the world.
'As I expected, this trial is related to books,'
Looking at the rows of books on the bookshelves, Henrick thought in his head.
That's right!
He was completely surrounded by the bookshelves and he could not see what was behind the bookshelves.
Besides him, there was a small tree of around the same height as him with not a single leaf on its thin branches.
"So, what is this trial about? Do I have to read all the books from the bookshelves?"
From the trial name, he could only think that he had to read the book; however, how many books he had to read, was not known.
So, looking at the sky, he asked the trial master.
'Ding,
The trial master sent the trial instructions.
'Ding,
Comprehend the knowledge from as many books as possible within 24 hours.
'Ding,
Rewards will be depending on the number of books comprehended by the challenger.
Soon, the trial master sent the instructions which made Henrick nod his head.
"So, level 0 missions will be easily accomplished as long as they attempt it,"
Henrick muttered to himself before going forward towards one of the bookshelves.
With the experience of three level 0 trials, Henrick came to a conclusion that level 0 trials were not at all risky; however, to get some good rewards, they had to try their best.
In short, the inheritance building must be preparing the challenger to get used to the trials.

There were many types of books that belonged to various elements, fighting techniques and many more.
Henrick didn't pick any random book to create a record for the trial because comprehending a random was very hard. So, he was carefully looking at all the books available on the bookshelves.
'Maybe I will try this book. Maybe I might be able to comprehend it,'
Finally, Henrick took a book he first saw and carefully looked at it.
On the book, there was "Basic Fire Manipulation Technique" written on it with bright red-coloured words.
'Since I already have a good affinity with the fire element, I might comprehend it,'
Comprehending a particular thing was very difficult and it requires days, weeks, months. Sometimes, it might even take years to comprehend it.
So, Henrick picked the easiest book from the books he saw on the bookshelves and soon he opened the book.
'Oh'
As soon as he opened the book, he felt a slight burning sensation in his body and at the same time, the book floated into the air.
'Huh?'
Henrick didn't say anything as he waited to see what the book would do.
It circled around him before stopping exactly on top of his head and started releasing some rays into his head.
'What is happening? Is this called comprehending? How can that be?'
Henrick felt his head was filled with some foreign knowledge and his burning sensation from earlier also started to increase with each passing second the burning sensation started to grow.
After some time, the sensation turned into pain and that pain was increasing at an incredible speed.
'At this rate, I won't be able to comprehend the book,'
Without wasting any time, he hurriedly sat down on the ground and tried to circulate his main cultivation technique 'Blazing sun sutra' hoping it would work.
'Phew'
As expected, the moment he circulated his cultivation technique, the pain reduced a little making him heave a sigh of relief.
'Aargh'
However, just as he heaved a sigh of relief, the pain once again came back which made him groan in pain.
"Circulate"
After learning his lesson, he didn't dare to take rest any longer as he continued to circulate the 'Blazing sun sutra' at a very slow pace because in a day, he could only circulate 10 or so rotations and after that, he could not circulate the cultivation technique any longer.
Henrick repeated the process of circulating his cultivation technique while the book on top of his continued to pour energy into me.
Time continued to pass as Henrick was completely covered in sweat.
'Thud'
All of a sudden, the book on top of his head fell to the ground before turning into dust.
'Uff...uff..uff'
Henrick started to gasp for air and at the same time, he felt very relieved to be free from the scorching pain.
'Even though I experienced scorching pain, this one is completely different from them. It's like the pain is increasing all of a sudden and in the next second it decreases,'
Henrick compared the pain he experienced now with the pains he experienced in the past.
'Ding,
Congratulations to the challenger for learning the skill 'Basic fire manipulation technique'.
All of a sudden, Henrick received the trial master's congratulatory system notification that made him forget all the pain he had endured until now.
'I comprehended it all? Why don't I remember a thing,'
Henrick was surprised as he still didn't have a clue on how to manipulate the fire.
'Fire'
'Swoosh'
'Woah'
All of a sudden, Henrick was surprised to see the thing appeared in front of him.

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)
