Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Seed

[One-time bonus thanks to RolaySalt <3 2/3]

Sylas couldn't believe it, not because of what was being said, but because the notification came not from the system alone, but rather a joint announcement made with the Madness Key in conjunction with the system. In fact, it seemed that the only reason this was possible was because of the Madness Key.

This wasn't all either.

There was a list of warnings and potential rewards. The rewards themselves weren't very clear except for one line:

---

[Madness Key Gluttony will go into dormancy for <14> days. Hunger will be reduced by 100% permanently.]

---

However, if he accepted and he failed to snatch Joel's Destiny:

---

[Madness Key Gluttony will double. Timer for Hunger will reduce by 100% for <28> days.]

---

Sylas couldn't help but frown when he saw this. That was because the punishment was too great. This meant that if he failed, not only would the time for every increase in Hunger go from seven days to barely over three, but the penalty every time it did would be double.

For it to last 28 days meant that the Madness Key would be able to increase its Hunger exactly eight times.

By the end of such a time, Sylas would probably be dealing with Gold Genes. If he couldn't feed the Madness Key, what would happen to him? He really didn't want to find out.

Although the rewards were good, the risks were actually so high.

He also wasn't so free to just take on Quests, and he had no way of knowing what the Quest even was.

Just as Sylas was thinking this, the Madness Key actually showed him what this Destiny of Joel's was:

---

[Path of the Mancer (Fragmented) (Quest)]

[You have displayed a tenacious Will and a sharp intent for battle, but you are missing the final piece to your power. Following the Path of another is easy, following your own is much more difficult.]

[The word Mancer has a storied history, deeper than you know. There are many complex definitions but it can be boiled down to a single word: Control.]

[Open up the Path of the Mancer or die trying.]

---

[Fragmented Reward Requirements]

[>Kill a Level 10 creature with the Path of the Mancer]

---

A flood of information came to Sylas. It wasn't just the first leg of the Quest, but he could also see how far Joel had gotten.

It seemed that Joel had already cleared the first Quest and he had chosen a creature with control over Darkness Aether. As a result, he gained a Class related to it as a reward.

That was right, it seemed that the reward for clearing the Fragmented Quest was a Fragmented Class.
