《Last Wish System 》Chapter 7: Yale's Chosen Path
Advertisement
“I choose the Origin Path.”
Yale decided to make the great bet, the other paths are safer, but with them, he would limit himself in some way. On the other hand, the Origin Path is dangerous, and Yale knew nothing about it, but it showed danger and difficulty as the main bad points.
Yale didn’t believe that the system will offer some trash path, he made a bet for the Origin Path as Yale already needed to conceal the system and his path for training was difficult from the start.
Yale hoped that the Origin Path beside being the most difficult and dangerous would also be the most powerful.
And even if the Origin Path didn’t meet Yale’s expectations at least being something from the system Yale was sure that it would be a good path.
“Since the user has chosen the Origin Path the user will obtain some information about it. If after hearing it the user regrets the decision, then the user can change the Origin Path for one of the other paths in exchange for not obtaining the originally offered rewards for those paths and get all the information about the Origin Path wiped out from the user’s memory.”
Yale paid attention to the system; he didn’t expect such a notification. However, he also wanted to listen to more information about the Origin Path, so he paid attention to the system words.
“The first information the user’s needs to know it that the Origin Path is an Ancestral Path legacy found by the user’s past life and also the reason for his death.”
Yale was without words after hearing that; it wasn’t that the Origin Path could kill him, the Origin Path already provoked his death once.
“The Origin Path was the first Path that appeared in the world in ancient times; there isn’t any information about the creation of the Origin Path.”
“However, the requirements to practice it and the difficulty to improve lead to the creation of some weaker paths derived from it. Almost all the derived paths became lost in time like the Ancient Archery Path. Only the user’s actual world’s Warrior Path and Magus Path remained, both of them were only third-class derived paths.”

“The Origin Path allow all the stats to increase, having its difficulty as its only flaw. On the other hand, the best-derived paths known as first-class paths only allowed five stats to increase, and with that flaw in the path of training, the path became easier to train.
“But first-class paths weren’t easy enough to mass produce practitioners. the second-class derived paths were born to allow more people to practice, they were still difficult but they were way easier compared with the first-class ones, but they allowed only four stats to increase.”
Yale thought immediately of the Ancient Archery Path, one of the reasons it was considered very precious and led the archers to their golden age was the fact that they could improve four stats instead of only three.
“Finally, the third-class derived paths appeared and only allowed to increase three stats. If any training method allowed to increase less than three stats, then it would be handicapped. Also, virtually all people can practice at least one of the third-class derived paths; thus the third-class become the lowest class.”
To Yale, it was hard to believe that the two most powerful paths of his world were only meeting the minimum requirements to practice successfully. The revelation that they were the weakest and any other paths were handicapped would be a blow the mind of anyone. However, aside from the two main paths and some mixings using them still allowed to enhance at least three stats, no other path worked to become a real expert.
“Due to the lack of talent in the world, the Origin Path disappeared in the flow of time, and soon the first class derivate paths were also lost.”
“After some centuries only the Ancient Archery Path remained from the second-class derived paths and it the end was also lost. After that, the Warrior Path and the Magus Path become the most popular and become the only two paths of the world, with all the others becoming lost.”

“There are only a few people in the world who know about the first class derived paths, and even less who know about the Origin Path. However, any of these people could kill the user as easy as killing an ant. Furthermore, even if the Origin Path could only be trained from the start and could not be changed to another path midway nor be started after having practiced some other way, the Origin Path was still useful for their descendants or even for their reincarnations.”
“The user still wants to choose the Origin Path or would he like to change it?”
Yale’s mind was too shocked to reply at that instant; he was still processing the information he just learned. However, once he calmed himself, a determined look appeared on his face.
“No matter the danger, the more valuable and powerful the Origin Path is the more I want to train it. I still choose the Origin Path.”
“Origin Path selected, Quest Menu updating.”
After a few seconds, the system continued.
“The user wants an explanation about the requirements to start practicing the Origin Path?”
Yale indeed wanted a detailed explanation of the Origin Path; he selected it knowing it would be difficult and he was curious about that difficulty. Soon the information appeared in his head.
“Requirements to start training the Origin Path: Memorize the Origin Path training method, all the stats should be at the max before becoming ten years old. Once turning ten the Origin Path would automatically enter the one-star mortal realm.”
Those requirements were indeed higher than the other paths, having all the stats maxed before becoming ten years old was indeed difficult. However, compared with the following requirements the first one were like a joke.
“Requirements to reach two-star mortal: Master a battle skill and a magic spell in less than three months since having become a one-star mortal.”
That was truly difficult, mastering a battle skill or a magic spell was a normal condition to reach the two-star mortal fighter or the two-star mortal erudite realm. However, there was no time limit like that, the time limit is only at sixteen years old, and that’s to become a Rank 1 Novice Warrior or Novice Magus, if there were such time limitations to reach the one-star rank there wouldn’t be a lot of practitioners. And having such a time limit to master both a battle skill and a magic spell was almost impossible.
However, Yale had faith in the system, since it gave him a ten percent chance, it wasn’t impossible at least for him.
That showed the real difficulty of the Origin Path, and that’s only the information until reaching the two-star mortal, the system didn’t show any information for afterward, only an alert.
“Alert: No more information would be shown for the next stages until the user becomes a two-star mortal. If the user doesn’t meet any of the conditions when the time limit is reached, the user wouldn’t be able to continue practicing the Origin Path, and due to its incompatibilities, the user would never be able to practice any other path.”
Yale understood how important it was for him to reach the requirements if he failed to become a 1-star mortal, he would lose the system assistance, but he would still have hope to practice other methods. However, once he started practicing the Origin Path, he would never be able to change it, so failing to meet the requirements even once would mean the end of the way to Yale.
“No matter how difficult it becomes, I will never give up.”
Yale was determined to succeed and to succeed he couldn’t lose even a moment; then he opened the Quest Menu to see what the first sub-quest of the Main Chain Quest was.

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?
