《Armipotent 》Chapter 556: The Two Girls' Concern
Advertisement
Tang Shaoyang quickly found out the mystery behind why he had a stack of Attribute Points. Math was the worst thing for him but he managed to calculate it after almost an hour. The extra attribute points were the excess from the maximum attributes, his Strength and Magic Power were maxed out and the excess of the attribute points he got from leveling up went to attribute points.
"So I have 38872 extra attribute points. My Strength maxed out and so did my Magic Power…" He muttered in a low voice. He must think of a way so his attributes would not be wasted away. He needed to allocate them if he wanted to go further than twenty waves.
But he was in a dilemma whether to save it or allocated it to the other attributes, "Also why would there be a limit for the attribute? I thought it was limitless but there must be a way to lift the limit," Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow.
"Now I miss my spirits…" He let out a sigh. If the spirits were here, he could ask some advice from them. He would not be confused like this, "But wait… Epic Rank… Maybe this is the reason why I have to reach the Epic Rank. It is to lift the limitation of my attributes. So I can't save my attribute points then?"
[The second wave will attack you in five minutes!]

[Second Wave]
Composition: 20,000 Stage 4 Monsters, and 10,000 Stage 5 Monsters
Countdown: 00:04:59

"Meh, this should another easy wave,"

Meanwhile, back to Biaska Town, Roan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead as he was facing two angry women. Selena and Ashley were angry that he did not inform them that his Lord was taking the Trial of The Epic. He now had to face them with his head lowered.

Before, Ashley was just part of the dying Ambrose Family's members. However, she was now his Lady, his Lord's woman. He had to give her the same respect as he respected his Lord or else it was the same as he disrespected his Lord. Fortunately Roan knew that Ashley just faced his scummy father. He could make a good excuse with that.
"Lord Tang does not want to disturb you two so he just left a message to me that he is taking the Trial of The Epic," Roan replied with a forced smile.
Selena squinted her eyes at the old man for a moment before she let out a sigh. That was what Tang Shaoyang would do for sure. She shook her head and pulled Ashley with her. Getting angry at the old man was no use, "That's the thing he would do for sure. We can't blame Sir Roan for that,"
At this point, it was truly childish to blame Roan for that. If someone should inform them, it was him who should do that. But since he did want to inform them, she could not blame Roan for that. The old man was innocent in this case. She let Selena drag her out of the room.
"So you should know more about the Trial of The Epic, right Ashley? Can you tell me more about this trial?" Selena was new to the game. Before she was brought to Earth by Tang Shaoyang, her world had just undergone a transformation. So she had no detailed information about the game aside from the basics.
"It is the trial to pass the level cap. Level 1000, that's the maximum level for us. In order to lift the limitation, we need to reach Epic Rank, and to reach Epic Rank we need to pass the Epic of The Trial. He is facing the trial to lift the level cap," Ashley summarized about the trial to Selena.

"What happens if he does not pass the trial?" That was the thing that Selena was concerned about the most. What if Tang Shaoyang did not pass the trial?
"Died. There are only two results, either pass the trial or dead. But I don't think that he will fail in the trial unless…" Ashley paused as she thought something. The Trial of The Epic was not common knowledge to everyone but that was the information that could be found in the Royal Library of the Lionax Kingdom.
As someone who graduated from the Lionax Academy, she had access to the Royal Library. She had a lot of information about the Trial of the Epic, and she knew about the seven stages that needed to be passed in the trial. She also knew that one could go through more than seven stages to get a better reward.
"Unless what?" Selena was worried that Ashley suddenly fell silent.
"Unless he tried to force himself and continue the trial further," Selena had a confused look on her face with her explanation. She knew nothing about the Trial of the Epic.
"In order to finish the trial one has to face seven waves of monsters. However, you can face more waves of monsters to get a better reward. What do you think he would do?" Ashley looked at Selena to know her reaction, "What do you think he will do in that situation? I believe that it should be easy for him to pass the trial if he only faces the seven waves of monsters but I am not sure… What do you think?"
Selena let out a sigh, "He will take the risk for sure…" She just became even more worried if that was the Trial of the Epic's mechanism. She was sure that Tang Shaoyang would take the maximum risk for the maximum reward.
"I am kinda worried now. My father finished eight waves to pass the Trial of the Epic. That's an average wave for an Epic Rank but depending on the class, a certain trial is more difficult," Ashley made the same worried face the more she thought about it.
Tang Shaoyang not only had a unique class but he also had a second class, and also a bloodline. She was not sure but maybe he would face the highest difficulty for the Trial of the Epic.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
