Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 175

The quest was easy to complete for Aaron. With his very high attributes, high skill ranks and enhanced skeleton army, if he fails this simple quest, then it’s better to jump into a dry well, instead of worrying about cults or someone else harming him.

With such excellent prowess, he can easily defeat even ones that are levels higher than him, not just one or two, but tens of levels, which would be impossible as the level number increases.

This is because, unlike lower levels at Rank-0, where one would only gain 5 FSP and 2 SP per level, which would mean little difference in strength, that was not the case at Rank-3, where Aaron stands now.

From Rank-3, one would get 40 FSP and 16 SP per level.

Though Aaron would get more due to his perk, someone at Rank-3 would be quite capable of finding various resources that improve attributes through other ways.

So, though he might outweigh many Rank-3 awakeners, there should be a few who were just a few levels away from him and can stand toe-to-toe with him.

This was the reason why he didn’t dare to show his full power. Though reaching the first position in the tournament only showed that he is a genius, not some anomaly.

If someone bad finds about this information, it would be bad not just for him but also for his parents. With his skills, he might survive the encounters and escape the attack, but what about his parents, who don’t have any combat experience or skills to protect themselves?

This is why he made to make himself look like a genius. This way, the academy and the alliance would invest more in him, maybe even protect his family if they are in any danger. Though the second matter is less likely, but possible.

Only when one has someone they care about would they be inclined to fight to survive or help others. Otherwise, the person may even become evil and cause damage to society.

For almost anyone, the people that they would care about are family members. So, there is a chance that the alliance can provide a protection detail for his parents, even if it were only for a few years, it would be more than enough to improve himself to a high degree.

This is only possible as he appears to be a genius.

If he appears to be an anomaly, as long as he has no true strength, even someone who appears to be good may become greedy for what he has and try to obtain his talent.

This is a magical world with many cults that do dark experiments on humans, which goes against human standards. There are many experiments held to improve oneself, even if it is by killing other humans.

No one can say when their greed might erupt, especially if one finds out about their talent, even the ones who sit at the top of the alliance may become a bit greedy or even envious of their talent.

So, he can only show what he can show and hide some part of his strength.

After completing his Rank-3 quest, Aaron returned to his house. For the past ten days, he had farmed monsters without taking much of a break, and now this morning, he had to hunt a lot of monsters to complete his quest.

So, he decided to rest his body and use the rest of the day to improve his knowledge. After having an early lunch, he went to the library and spent time there till it was dark.

Only when he felt hungry did he return to his house.

After dinner, he fell on his bed and gave a quick look at his status.

He was very satisfied with the progress. All of this was achieved in less than a year, with a few months still remaining for a year to complete from the time of his awakening.

If he can continue to grow like this without any interruptions, he is sure that he can reach Rank-4 before the end of the second year. He may even be Rank-5 or even Rank-6 before he can graduate at the end of four years.

If he could reach Rank-6, the number of dangers in the world that could cause harm to him would be very few.

That was his goal. Reach Rank-6 before graduation and can settle down in a safe place with his parents, where he can protect them easily, either directly or by hiring someone powerful when he is not there.

This was perfect, but not everything goes as one plans.

Everything that we do or happen to us doesn’t just depend on ourselves, but also on the actions of others around us and maybe even those who are not near us.
