Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Chapter 78: Aiming for the Gambler's Throne!

<You’ve devoured the perfect quality fruit of Earth and Moons>

<You’ve advanced by two levels>

<You’ve gained 6 God’s Breath of God>

<Your body’s energy capacity has increased by twenty points>

<Your magic matrix has experienced an evolution. It has evolved to level ten. You can now contain 100 units of God’s Qi in your body. You can now produce a 1000 units of God’s Qi in a day by using your magic matrix>

<You’ve reached level ten of the magical realm>

<You’ve unlocked the dimensional store first function: Sell. You can sell items in the Dimensions store to earn God’s coins. God’s coin is the main currency of the store that connects buyers and sellers across the planets. After reaching level twenty, you can access the trade function!>

“Nice!” Elliot smiled and then poured two units of God’s breath of growth into agility, three into stamina, and the remaining one into strength. 

<Your agility has increased by two points>

<Your stamina has increased by three points>

<Your strength has increased by a point>

He then looked at his character screen.

<Champion: Elliot Vincent>

<Race: Human>

<Evolutionary Stage: Peak state of the Magical Realm>

<Level 10: 0/10000 essence of life needed to advance to the Celestial Channel Creation Stage>

<Essence of life: 2400 units>

<Magic Energy: 0/100 units> Or <Spell Matrix: God’s Qi: 0/100 units>

<HP: 10/10>

<Strength: 21>

<Stamina: 22>

<Agility: 25>

Elliot’s brows raised in surprise when he saw that he needed ten thousand units of the essence of life to advance to what?

“Eh? Hope, what the hell is the Celestial Channel Opening Stage?” Elliot asked, confused to find out that he won’t be advancing into the channel opening stage but the Celestial Channel Creation Stage.

An ordinary magician’s one to ten energy channels would gradually form when they awaken a superpower.

One can find these energy channels by learning and executing sense heightening breathing techniques, internal vision techniques, or some other methods.

Once they find them, they need to determine which one is the weakest. There are a lot of methods to do so.

After that, the magician needs to direct the energy present in their body to attack the first and the weakest energy channel, forcing it open.

That’s when they enter the first level of the Channel Opening Stage.

An ordinary magician proceeds to nourish their first energy channel until they can store a hundred units of magic energy into it.

Then, they need to direct the hundred units of magic energy present in their body and the hundred units of magic energy present in their first energy channel to attack the entrance of the second energy channel many times until it opens.

Of course, if an ordinary magician finds a treasure such as a magic herb that can help them open their energy channels, they don’t need to go through such steps.

<To answer your question, the celestial channel works just like an energy and is able to store energy inside of it, but it is ten times resilient and stronger than an energy channel. While an energy channel can only contain 100 units of energy, a celestial energy channel can contain 1000 units of God’s Qi or magic energy.>

After listening to Hope’s explanation, Elliot decided to create celestial channels as even a single one will increase his energy capacity by a large margin, enough for it to rival the energy capacity of a magician at the peak of the Channel opening stage!

<Unlike an ordinary magician, the Challenger didn’t undergo a normal awakening. You don’t have any energy channels in your body. You’ll need to consume an evolution material if you want to form energy channels in your body. The stronger the evolution material, the more the energy channel formed in your body during the time of awakening>

Another notification suddenly popped up in his head, and after hearing it out, he got answers to most of his questions. His confusion about a lot of things cleared up. 

“Does that mean ten isn’t the limit?” Elliot asked, a bit surprised to know that the numbers of energy channels one forms in their body corresponds to the quality of evolution material they consumed to awaken a superpower.

‹Yes, it’s as you think. Of course, nothing comes easy. If the champion wants more than ten energy channels then you need to consume the evolution material obtained from the body of a monster far powerful than the ones in the demonic realm> Hope explained to him.

“I understand.” Elliot nodded, telling himself that he will first become stronger and then hunt the strongest monster for its evolution material!

The next day, after class ended and they had lunch inside the cafeteria while most of the second years looked at them with menacing eyes, Elliot, John, Lisa, and Theo stepped out of the cafeteria with a can of lemon-flavored and cherry-flavored soda in their hand, taking a sip out of it occasionally, savoring its taste as they gently spoke with each other.

“What are you going to do today? Gamble and aim for the spot of the best gambler in the magic coliseum or fight?” Theo asked while looking at Elliot.

“Yeah, I will! I want to climb up to the peak of online gambling and snatch the throne away from the current number one gambler!” Elliot said, telling his ambition to his friends enthusiastically.

“If you manage to do that, some people might start trying to dig up info about who you really are,” John said, knowing full well that once Elliot snatched the throne away from Master seer, people will become curious about his in real life identity, and they will do everything to know who he really is.

“Doesn’t matter. I am not going to act like a scared bitch and step back from obtaining what’s right in front of me. This month’s prize money for being the best gambler in the magic coliseum will be mine, and I am gonna make sure of it in the next few days,” Elliot didn’t want to give up on something that can be his as long as he keeps on participating in gambles and win bets.

“It still worries me,” Theo said, worrying about him as he could see a dark aura mixing with the golden glow of glory surrounding Elliot’s body. The dark aura signified that he would encounter a deadly situation in the future.

“You guys don’t need to worry about it. It’s nearly impossible for someone to know about your personal information, even if they hack into the database of the magic coliseums and the servers that runs the game. The only ones who know about you being Coin Collector are us three. As long as we keep our mouths shut, no one will about you being Coin Collector.” Lisa said, feeling proud of her family since they created a system that makes sure that no one can infringe on the privacy of the player of the magic coliseum, not even hackers and brokers.

“We understand.” John nodded and also forced Theo to agree with them.

“Let’s go and bet all day, today,” Elliot said excitedly.

“Alright.”

They went to the gaming center, purchasing gladiator time, logging into the magic coliseum, and started to bet on the gladiators who won their matches, earning Elliot, Theo, Lisa, and John thousands of magic coins as well as helped them climb the ranking boards for gamblers.
