His IP said 'Done. You can choose one of the Sentry privileges'
[Sentry's Mark: You can attach a mark to any living creature. The amount of marks you have is equal to your Rank. Setting a mark on a creature allows you to find the distance and direction of the creature from your position and allows you to hear and see an area of 1500 meters around the creature at Rank 15 (Hundred meters are added for each Rank). The mark can be placed on any creature within the range of the IP. Do note that the creature will be alerted that it has been marked.
The drawback is that marking a creature that has a higher Rank than you will require more than one mark. It depends on the difference between your Rank and the targets Rank. The amount of marks needed = 1 + (Rank Difference)!
(I.e. if the target is 1 Rank higher the amount of marks needed is 2: (1 + 1) = 2. If it is 2 Ranks higher the amount needed is 4: (1 + 2!) = (1 + 1 + 2) = 4. If it is 3 Ranks higher the amount of marks needed is 7: (1 + 3!) = (1 + 1 +2 + 3) = 7… and so on)
Sentry's Worth: For every creature that is given a spot for your protection you get (1,000 × (Rank of creature)) en-codes per individual every 7 days. You have 150,000 spots to give to people you want to be under your protection; 10,000 spots per Rank.
The drawback is that each spot is filled and cannot be changed by you once you assign a spot; only the spot holder can give someone else the spot. If a person under your protection is killed then the spot will permanently vanish. If the person dies normally the spot will be left empty and can be filled again by you.]

Jake thought 'Wow, the skills are broken. Give me Sentry's Mark'. His IP replied 'Done. You have completed the quest'
[Reach Rank 19 – reward: an additional privilege – status: complete]
'You have gotten the Sentry's Worth Privilege. Do you wish to put all the people under your Noble's Tax protection in Sentry's Worth spots?' Jake said 'Yes'.
His IP said 'You have completed the job quest'
[Original Vampire:
Sentry:
Protect creatures that are in your protection spots by killing a threat that is Rank 20 or above – reward: an evolution ticket, instant job upgrade, all stats increase by one major Rank, pinnacle Rank is the limit. If a stat is at pinnacle Rank already it can be increased to transcendent Rank, in exchange the other stats will remain the same – status: possible (complete).]
'You have acquired one evolution ticket, bringing your total to one'
'Your job has been upgraded to the Patron job'
'You have completed the Hidden Mission: Eternity'
[Fathom Eternity, Fathom Time – reward: Eternal title– status: complete]
[Title:
Eternal: The title of beings that have understood Time through the concept of Eternity. Time attribute has been added to your energy. Eternal attribute has been added to your job.]
'Your job has become the Eternal Patron job'
'The fuck?' Jake was shocked when he saw the Eternal title. He thought 'Understand eternity? Understand time? When did I do that?' He had an idea but he was still shocked. His IP unexpectedly responded 'The Tree of Eternity is only available to Aura users that have felt the Aura of Eternity which is a part of the Aura of Time'
Jake was even more confused now 'So the tree Aura manifestation is the Tree of Eternity, I get that. But time has an aura? That's weird'.
When the IP sensed that Jake had no more to say it said 'You can choose between one of the Eternal Patron privileges'

[Eternal Patron's Blessing: You have 20 blessing spots; 1 per Rank. These spots can be given to any creature. The creatures in the spots can be given any agreed upon Eternal attribute that you possess. The spot allocation can't be changed.
Eternal Attributes In your possession:
Eternal Youth (Original Vampire): The cells of an Original Vampire are impervious to decay. Natural death is only possible through soul decay. The corpse of an Original Vampire doesn't decay.
Eternal Patron's Curse: You have 20 curse spots; 1 per Rank. These spots can be given to any creature. The creatures in the spots can be given any agreed upon conditions eternally
Note: The Eternal Patron job is eternal; you cannot get any other job after this one]
Jake's mind was boggled; he rubbed his eyes several times as he wondered 'Have I really become this powerful?' He told his IP 'Give me the Curse'. The blessing was nice but he could give semi eternal youth by simply turning the person to a vampire, and eternal youth wasn't really useful for fighting. His IP said 'Done. You can now choose to either improve one stat to Transcendent or improve all you're stats by one Rank'.
Jake was shocked and he said 'Show me my stats' he didn't remember having any Pinnacle stats.
[Pervious State:
Strength: Intermediate (high)
Agility: Intermediate (intermediate)
Stamina: High (low)
Durability: High (intermediate)
Intelligence: Low (high)
Senses: High (intermediate)
Energy: Intermediate (high)]
[Current State:
Strength: Intermediate (high)
Agility: Intermediate (intermediate)
Stamina: High (low)
Durability: High (intermediate)
Intelligence: Low (high)
Senses: Pinnacle
Energy: Intermediate (high)]
Jake thought 'Hmm so this is why the IP said I have fathomed eternity, it's like my senses have improved… I don't really understand how this helped me get another Aura manifestation'. Although Jake's Aura manifestations were mostly attack based, his stat build was built toward being a tank. It was his way of trying his best to protect his daughter.
Jake shrugged and told his IP 'Push senses to pinnacle'. The IP said 'Done. You have completed the quests'
[Improve one stat to the unreachable 'Transcendent' Rank before evolving beyond the Original Vampire race – reward: an 'extinct' evolution option becomes available and all evolution options become Celestial grade races – status: possible (complete).]
[Complete an impossible quest – reward: you get an evolution ticket – status: complete.]
[Acquire 2 evolution tickets – reward: a chance to evolve – status: 2/2 evolution tickets acquired, possible (complete)]
'You can now evolve whenever you choose to'
Jake sighed when the IP didn't give him anymore notifications. He looked around and finally noticed why his IP said he had understood eternity. It was negligible when his stats were at pinnacle but now when he looked at even the simple dirt under his feet, he could sense that it had a story. The particles of soil that made it had cycled through many forms before becoming the dirt under his feet right now. He could vaguely sense the previous forms and he could also vaguely sense the forms it would take in the future.
It was all vague to him because of his low intelligence stat but a realization hit him 'Forms are momentary but the stuff they are made of lasts forever'. He felt a cool sensation that made him feel like staying there and looking at the soil forever but he extracted himself from the influence as he thought 'I don't want to go through time with this dust'.
A High Human came running toward Jake and said "Kenny is back".

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k. I personally like explaining how things work a lot, so do have that in mind if you decide to read this fiction. Cover is credited to [Asviloka] who can be found on this thread:https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/110578 [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
