Defiance of the Fall

Zac was horrified at that outcome , and quickly unequipped his amulet . The good news was that least his situation wasn’t completely irreversible , and it almost seemed a miracle that he was still alive from how Ogras described it . Death Squad members died after chugging that stuff just once , but he used it multiple times in the duration of a day . First time was after the ambush in the tunnels , but after that he used it multiple times during battle . It sounded crazy , but it almost felt like taking the bath actually saved him . His body was unceasingly refined after he ate the Fruit of Ascension , and perhaps it did something to increase his resistance or heal up irreversible damage .

But the predicament was extremely troublesome since there was a monster horde coming . If he wasn’t healed by the time the monsters arrived he would have to fight without using any cosmic energy . If he kept using Chop] like with the monkeys he’d soon have to use crystals to restore himself . It would be a vicious circle that would end up with him in the same situation as now . . .

He swore to do everything that he could to get healed in time , and he needed to go to the mines anyways to prospect as many crystals as possible to get Nexus Coins . Zac asked a few more questions of how to improve his recuperation , but Ogras either didn’t know much more or was holding back on him . Zac could only sigh and move to the next subject he needed to know about .

What are the attribute limits when you’re E-Grade Race? - He really wanted to know where the limits lay now that he was E-Graded . He didn’t want to lose any more points than he already had . With his Title boosts he already lost over 10 strength , which by no means was a small amount .

Attribute cap? Why do you . . - Ogras stopped himself and stared blankly at Zac for a few seconds . - You god damn progenitors just makes my teeth itch . And you even got a Fruit of Ascension to save your ass! Just disgusting . Well don’t worry , attribute caps are not something you will need to worry about for a long time now . -

Progenitors? What are you talking about? - Zac wondered . Abby had called him a Defier , not a progenitor .

You first-generation cultivators of a baby planet . - Ogras spat out , looking loath to even think about the subject . Zac didn’t feel the need to correct him that he wasn’t a cultivator at the moment , as the demon was starting to work himself up in a huff .

Haven’t you realized? You have many advantages that your descendants won’t get . The Ruthless Heavens gives you a running start . There are many unique titles , the System crams the planet full of unique treasures , and you even get the Tutorial . It just makes us normal cultivators want to lay down and die of jealousy . -

Ogras looked about ready to explode greed and jealousy as he talked about it . Zac felt he had found his match in his quest for wealth , and he also vowed to never show the demon his Title page . The demon might just fall into apoplectic rage and start swinging that scary spear at him .

The demon soon found his bearing again and with a cough continued .

Cough . . . In any case , those who manage to grasp a decent number of the limited advantages a new world provides will have a life-long advantage compared to most people in the multi-verse . These individuals are called their planet’s progenitors , as they usually end up creating influential clans or sects on their home planets . On the off-chance they don’t get killed that is . -

Zac thought that made a lot of sense . So far he had only compared himself with the cultivators and trying to keep his head start going . He hadn’t even thought about the following generations and how they would grow up in this environment . But it was true , many of the titles he snatched would probably never appear again on this planet , closing that door for an advantage forever .

As time progressed most limited titles would be taken , leaving only maybe the most obscure and well-hidden ones for future generations . Otherwise they would have to settle for the mediocre non-limited ones , such as the Adventurer-title .

Ogras was a veritable treasure trove of answers after having fumbled about blindly for so long . For example , it was very interesting to know that normal cultivators in the multi-verse didn’t get access to the tutorial , making it an even more rare opportunity . Zac kept coming up with various questions that had hounded him and threw them at the demon randomly as he thought of them . The smiling façade of Ogras soon cracked , and his answers got shorter and terser until he slammed his hand on the arm-rest of his chair .

God damn it! Do I look like a tutorial fairy to you? I’ll be back tomorrow , - he spat out and threw a crystal at Zac who deftly snapped it out of the air . - Read that instead of pestering me . -
