Jacob sat around a large bonfire as he skewered the entire Purple Vile Ape while he continued to study the last part of the type-1 rune language.
By the time the meat cooked, Jacob had closed the virtual file and sighed with a hint of astonishment as he mumbled, "What a profound language. I can't imagine there might be a type-2 rank of this language."
Jacob had now mastered the entire type-1 rune language, and he mused he wouldn't fall into trouble with the rune language anytime soon. Not while he was in the Rare Plains, at least.
He wanted to start the Magic Rune Encyclopedia right away, but his stomach was in his way, so he decided first to eat and hopefully end the hunger with this meal. After all, this was still an extraordinary tier-2 magic beast.
Within half an hour, there was only a pile of bones left, and Jacob had this satisfied look on his face while he felt unimaginable power running through his body.
Jacob was no longer feeling any lingering hunger as it was now completely gone, and he was at least ten percent stronger than he was half an hour ago. He also felt a strange calm feeling in his chest, like nothing could go wrong no matter what.
He then suddenly remembered something as he opened another special feature of this star watch. It was called the 'Life Force Scale.'
From its introduction, Jacob found that this Life Force Scale was actually an advanced version of the Bloodline Scanning Scale Device and far more accurate than it.
But he wasn't able to activate it since it needed a connection with the Star Network to function.
Now that he was probably at the panicle of the Rare Plains, he wanted to measure his prowess as well as test this Life Force Scale accuracy.
From his own understanding, an Extraordinary-Tier-6 should have 6 Kiloton of pure physical force. But he had no way to measure it.
At this moment, the function got activated.
"Establishing a connection with Star ID…
"Star ID detected!"
"Type-1 ID Detected: Faceless Ancient
"Faceless Ancient has been granted free access to this function in Type-1 Category. Anything exceeding Type-1 will be charged with ZC, and a similar device will be needed!
"Current Device Limit: Type-1
"Do you want to Continue with Scan (Limit: Type-1)?"
Jacob cocked an eyebrow, 'This thing charges ZC for each use? More importantly, it seemed my Star Privilege had other uses that I'm unaware of.'
Jacob then pressed to continue. Since this thing charges ZC, then he was sure it wouldn't be as disappointing as those devices.
Thereafter, the display suddenly turned light green, as well as his entire star watch, before he suddenly felt a gentle current generated on his arm, and the next moment it spread over his whole body.
Jacob was astonished, but the current vanished as soon as it appeared, and the star watch stopped glowing greenly.
Soon, a list showed on display.
"The Life Force analysis has been completed!
"[Life Form]
"Life Species: Unknown (In Type-1 Category),
"Life Form Bloodline: Unknown (In Type-1 Category)
"Life Form Sex: Male
"Used Life Force (Age): 29 Years (Not accurate)
"Reaming Life Force (Lifespan): Over 200 Years (Not accurate)
"[Life Force Strength]
"Life Force Rating: Extraordinary-Tier-6
"Magic Force: NONE
"Physical Force: 9.99 Kiloton
"Blood Force: 999,999 (Extraordinary)"
Jacob didn't pay attention to his species or bloodline since he was already numb to seeing 'Unknown' there. But he was quite astonished when he saw the Star Watch could easily estimate his lifespan. Even though it wasn't accurate, it was very close.
His strength, however, came as a surprise because if this was true, then he was far stronger than any extraordinary-tier-6.
As for the Blood Force, he was clueless about it like the last time. The Blood Force represents an individual's Bloodline Potential.
Typically, an individual blood force never changes as everyone is born with it, and the higher the blood force, the more likely the bloodline potential.
However, this didn't mean the blood force was static and couldn't be changed. For example, the Limit Break, when someone breaks into a higher level, it's supposed to be one of the ways to increase the blood force.
Anyone with under 10,000 blood force had a common rank bloodline. In comparison, a species with a rare talent level will have a blood force between 10,000 and 99,999.
As for a species with extraordinary potential, they will have 100,000 to 999,999 blood force!
The last time Jacob had checked, he had merely 9,000+ blood force. However, now it has skyrocketed to 999,999, which simply represents the very peak of the extraordinary rank bloodline!
'If I eat the Wyvern Heart, my blood force might break into a million! I wonder what the criteria of Epic, Unique, and Legendary blood force it. Their blood force will be off the charts.' Jacob thought while inhaling a sharp cold breath.
Still, he was quite content with his progress and was more confident in protecting himself in the Rare Plains.
He then closed the Life Force Scale and opened the Magic Rune Encyclopedia. As for absorbing the Wyvern heart, he was still not in a hurry. At least not without having ample nutrition in his pendant.
The Magic Rune Encyclopedia was about the use of runes in Magic. Although it followed the same language principles, it was a completely different concept.
While the Rune Language was for understanding the rune's phonetics and semantics, the Magic Rune Encyclopedia was about how to use those runes for Magic!
Jacob found that the Magic Rune Encyclopedia was actually for a profession called 'Rune Artificer!'
A Rune Artificer can inscribe or encrypt Runes and decrypt them.
There was knowledge of the Apprentice Rune Artificer Rank, Basic Rune Artificer Rank, Intermediate Rune Artificer Rank, Advance Rune Artificer Rank, Master Rune Artificer Rank, Grandmaster Rune Artificer Rank, Senior Grandmaster Rune Artificer Rank, Elder Grandmaster Rune Artificer Rank!
These eight ranks have sub-ranks, Basic, Intermediate, and Advance.
Jacob felt like he had just opened a treasure chest by mistake!
Without wasting time, he quickly started from the basics, which were the part of the rune symbol combination and how to turn runes into a different type of elemental energy.
The more he read, the more fascinated he became as he found those without Magic could also practice as a Rune Artificer and use Magic materials instead of mana.
Furthermore, even if someone had Magic, they would only be proficient in one type of element, and they had to use materials as well to make different element runes.
Especially if someone is making Rune Talismans, these things were the simplest to make and required low-grade materials.
However, Jacob soon found that he was getting the wrong idea when he discovered that there was only one entry-level talisman for Apprentice Rank to Advance Rank.
Then there was one entry-level array design for Master Rank to Grandmaster Rank.
Lastly, there was one entry-level formation blueprint for Senior Grandmaster Rank and Elder Grandmaster Rank.
This meant there were four talismans, two arrays, and two formations for each rank he could practice with, and all of them were future divided into three stages just like those ranks.
As long as he completes the Talisman of Apprentice Rank, he will be a full fledge Apprentice Rune Artificer and so on!
As for more designs, he had to rely on himself. He finally understood that he had just come out of the champion shop without even exploring the true merchandise there, which was quite regretful.
Still, he was more than content with this much, and he wasn't worried about not having anything else to practice with since there was still an unknown array of parchment sitting in his pendant.
So, he started to remember everything and then practice later. It will be easier this way.
Jacob then starts his journey like before as he walks toward the Dark City while learning the way of a Rune Artificer with solemnity.
However, on the second day, Jacob was disturbed. Not because of some beast attack but because his star watch vibrated abruptly, and a notification appeared at the screen corner, which made him frown.
"Might-Of-Destruction wanted to send you a Projection Call!"
"Accept / Reject / Projection Setting!"
'Who the hell is he, and what did he want? Since he could send me a Projection Call then, this means he had a high-tech Star Watch like me. I better ignore it.' Jacob simply turned off the Notification and continued.
However, he was stunned when his Star Watch started to vibrate again after 10 seconds.
This time the same Notification rang but with an extra note which made Jacob's eyes winded.
"Might-Of-Destruction wanted to send you a Projection Call!"
"Accept / Reject / Projection Setting!"
"(NOTE: Might-Of-Destruction has used Star Privilege to send an unignorable Call Request. Might-Of-Destruction Star Privilege is higher than You (Faceless Ancient), Notification can't be ignored, Star ID can't be blocked!)"
Jacob was frozen on his spot, 'Someone with at least Type-2 Star Privilege is contacting me?!'
