Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 581

The passive technique increased all growth by five times, and it never needed to be reactivated.

As long as Intent flowed through his body, it would stay active.

For others, that would be a problem. Keeping Intent flowing continuously wasn't easy. It required awareness, focus, and it usually drained people quickly.

But not him.

Maintaining Intent was second nature to him. He didn't even have to try. It ran through his body on its own. Always had.

He exhaled and closed his eyes.

It was time to activate the technique fully.

Activating EverGrowth Soul was more complex than it sounded.

It involved setting up a system where one let the soul absorb five streams of experience instead of just one.

He reviewed the process in his head again.

The soul absorbed a person's experiences, what they'd seen, felt, feared, achieved.

All of that naturally affected how a person grew.

Their weaknesses, their ambitions, their doubts, their beliefs, they all shaped the path of evolution.

This technique built on that.

It let the user create five different strands of Intent, each carrying the same mix of emotions, experiences, and goals.

Once those strands were ready, they were fed into the soul, all at once.

That way, instead of getting a single stream of experience, the soul received five.

It would treat them all as real, as if the user had lived through five sets of memories instead of one.

Nameless Death had to agree that it was a simple idea, yet it had a complex execution.

Only a genius could come up with such a technique, and create it.

Nameless Death activated the EverGrowth Soul.

He immediately felt different. The experience was hard to describe but it was novel nonetheless.

"Now that I have done this-"

[Quest 'Brotherhood' received.]

[Quest 1: Defeat Queen of Sanguiscreech Ants.]

[Reward: Quest 2, Location of a possible ally who could help you escape the Voraka Site, Recover your Mind Invasion Trait.]

[Failure: Chances of your possible ally dying would sharply increase.]

[Time Limit: 24 hours]

[Extra Note: The 'possible ally' has entered Voraka Site due to his Shadow Trial. He has been in this Site for nearly four centuries and he has important information of powerful monsters that when devoured can help you grow quickly.]

[Extra Note: The 'possible ally' is a volatile person and there is a high chance you can antagonize him for no reason at all. It is recommended that you approach this person cautiously.]

"So someone has entered this place due to their Shadow Trial.

"Hmm, this quest makes it look like that if this guy fails his Shadow Trial, it would be my loss."

Nameless Death attention shifted to more important aspect of the quest.

"He has information of powerful monsters? If I can recover my Darkness Concept, then these monsters would be tremendously useful to me.
