MTLNOVEL Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Unexpected Gains
[The True Ancestor clan is left with only Arcueid.]
[They will not forget everything you gave them in the end; you trusted them until your death. Because they are your beloved daughters.]
[Death does not mean the end.]
[They will surely fulfill your wishes in the future.]
[Everything you did was not in vain.]
[You held on for three thousand years with all your might, and although it ended with a hopeful conclusion,]
[At least when you meet your beloved again,]
[You can respond with a calm smile, letting the clumsy and arrogant one know how reliable her lover is.]
[—Simulation Ended]
[True Ancestor Royal Family]
[Simulation Level Evaluation: A Level]
[You did your utmost to fulfill Brunestud's wishes.]
[You exhausted your life to realize two major goals, but there was no place for you in that achievable future.]
[And you have the deepest regret.]
[That is, not being able to meet Brunestud again, just like returning to the Millennium Castle with her as before.]
[In life, there are gains and losses.]
[Due to achieving an A-level comprehensive evaluation, congratulations to the host for the increase in the skill fixed column; your skill column has now increased to four.]
The sound of the simulator's effects continuously entered his ears.
However, Moran did not respond for a long time.
The vast memories of three thousand years were received in an instant, and the impact was no less than facing the gods.
A thousand years of desire, madness, and tenacity.
All of these constituted everything about him as the True Ancestor King.
"Arcueid… Altrouge… Brunestud…"
Moran murmured with his eyes closed.
Even at this moment, he could still recall the coldness under the moonlight and the warmth they brought him.
He wanted to see them again.
Just like he wanted to crush the Greek machine god.
Another significant desire had emerged.
"Ha… even after leaving the simulation, what I experienced was not an illusion… Brunestud, I will keep my promise to you."
Moran said heavily.
He regarded the memories of the Millennium Castle as treasures.
It was true that he wanted to crush the Greek gods, but he also wanted to fulfill the expectations between him and Brunestud. He knew how greedy his thoughts were at this moment, but he had long since lost the path of retreat.
Knowing love, yearning for happiness.
He was a man so obsessed with happiness.
No matter how the world mocked him for being unable to achieve it, Moran would not stop on this thorny path.
[Due to achieving the True Ancestor Royal Family A evaluation]
[The sub-quest for his son is hereby unlocked]
[When the simulator's cooldown refreshes, the host can choose to enter the sub-quest for simulation. Please note that the scoring for the sub-quest is calculated separately from the main quest. Rewards are also obtained separately.]
"Sub-quest…?"
Moran's brows furrowed slightly.
He saw that the sub-quest of the True Ancestor Royal Family had a branch.
Now, it appeared grayish-white.
It seemed he would have to wait until tomorrow's simulation time reset to access it.
For now, it seemed there was nothing he could do.
"It's probably a new sub-quest branch based on this quest; there doesn't seem to be any issues elsewhere…"
Moran checked the system and found no major problems.
He considered it as unlocking a new sub-quest.
Having a new sub-quest meant he could earn more achievements.
Such good fortune was something he would naturally not refuse.
[This simulation learned skills: Conceptualization of Fantasies, Pseudo-Inheritance Principle, Breath of the Stars, Enchanting Demon Eyes, Pseudo-Death Eyes, Self-Reformation, Planetary Support, Bloodsucking, Natural Protection…]
Another series of skill summaries.
These skills would be added to the simulator's skill pool and then provided to Moran for selection.
[Pseudo-Death Eyes (A), Third Magic: Soul Materialization (EX), Emperor's Privilege (A), Anti-Magic (A+), Item Creation (EX), Berserk (EX), Poison Resistance (A+)]
[Please select three for skill fixation]
Finally, he arrived at the familiar skill selection phase.
When Moran saw the first skill,
He felt a slight tremor in his heart.
Death Eyes!?
"Unexpectedly, it's this thing. But after experiencing so many lives and deaths, it's not surprising…"
Moran stroked his chin and sighed.
As expected, he listed it as a must-select option.
[Pseudo-Death Eyes: A power obtained after experiencing multiple deaths. You can see the lines and points of all living beings in the world; as long as you cut or pierce, you can take the life force of the target.]
Although it was a lower version of the Death Eyes.
There was no need to ask for too much.
As long as the Death Eyes were stored in the simulator's skill pool, once Moran witnessed life and death to a certain extent,
Then, it would be only a matter of time before it evolved into the genuine article.
Soon, after some comparisons and careful selections, Moran confirmed the skills he wanted to fix and replace.
[Third Magic: Soul Materialization: With this skill, you possess infinite energy based on the perpetual motion of the soul, and you can freely mold and manipulate the souls of living beings, creating the most perfect soul body.]
[Emperor's Privilege (A): This is a skill you obtained through the highly unified dictatorship of the Pelasgi. Even if it is not your own skill, you can temporarily hold it due to your own claims. Skills obtainable through this privilege include Riding, Swordsmanship, Art, Leadership, Military Strategy, etc.]
Counting the Pseudo-Death Eyes.
Three skills were selected by Moran.
He replaced the Third Magic with the Bloodline of Demons and placed the Emperor's Privilege into the newly added fourth skill slot.
The Pseudo-Death Eyes were swapped with the preset slot of Unyielding Determination.
The operations after the contemplation were smooth and flowing.
[Skill Column: Third Magic: Soul Materialization (EX), Heroic Tale of the Faraway Expedition (A+), Love of the Moon Goddess (A+), Emperor's Privilege (A)]
[Preset Column: Golden Demon Sword (EX), Pseudo-Death Eyes (A), My People Will Live On (A+)]
Above are the skills held by Moran.
They could be considered quite luxurious and pleasing to the eye.
At a glance, there was not a single skill below A.
"Ha… it's all selected…"
Moran let out a long breath.
He exited the simulator and fell back onto the bed.
It felt as if the scene drenched in blood was still playing back and forth, and an overwhelming sense of fatigue surged from the back of his head.
There were twenty-three hours left until the simulation reset.
Another difficult waiting period.
During this time, Moran was not idle; besides letting his body rest, he was also contemplating his future direction.
The Pseudo Holy Grail War.
How should he position himself?
Should he participate in the war as an ordinary magician?
No, that would be too simple and reckless.
With three thousand years of memories, Moran was more stable; he did not want to participate in the war so simply.
He should prepare more thoroughly…
