Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Game

'Sylphs...?'

This was a first. It seemed that this Dungeon was referring to a humanoid race. Did that make it different from the other Dungeons that he had seen?

The Level requirements were also insane, especially considering the Entry Limit was 10.

The recommended stats and Levels factored in the number of entries for sure, Sylas had confirmed this after the Basilisk King's Reign Dungeon. If this Dungeon only asked for one person, the recommended Level would certainly be closer to 30. It was only because you could bring so much help that the requirement was only 20.

[Who are the Sylphs?]

[The Sylphs are an E-Grade Race of beings that favor the Path of the Mancer. They tend to be born with Gene affinities that give them great control over the elements.]

'E-Grade Race?'

Sylas' gaze flickered.

[Name: Sylas Grimblade]

[Species: Human (F)]

He still didn't quite understand what his Species was. All he knew was that whenever he ran into a stat or Gene Limit, it would be mentioned.

His rudimentary understanding of it was that once one reached Level 50, there would be a chance to evolve to a higher Level. If one succeeded in becoming Level 51, then you could become an E-Grade existence.

That said, an E-Grade Race sounded like a completely different thing. Did it mean that Sylphs were born Level 51? That didn't seem to make much sense considering the Dungeon only required him to be Level 20. So it must refer to something else.

Sylas didn't really want to waste the Genes on such a question, but in the end his curiosity got the best of him. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

'I see... That's a bit... troublesome.'

The overall Grade of a Race was decided by relative potential. An E-Grade Race was one that would have a relatively easier time of reaching the E-Grade compared to those of an F-Grade Race. As such, on average, the number of E-Grade existences among them would be substantially more than lower level Races, and by extension, they would have a better chance of striking at the D-Grade and beyond as well.

It wasn't a hard cap, but... it could be depending on the situation. Unless one could break the mold of their Race, you would be very likely to be stuck in said Race's overall Grade.

By the same token, higher relative Grade Races also tended to have much greater Strength at the same Level compared to lesser relative Grade Races.

Sylas didn't need to ask the Madness Key to know his own relative Grade because he had been staring at it ever since he came to his world.

[Species: Human (F)]

It was right there in bold font and it wasn't going anywhere.

Of course, it would change if he managed to become Level 51. But unless he could change it while he was still in the F-Grade, whatever challenge he faced in crossing over into E-Grade would be especially tall.

Sylas stood in silence.

At first, he was only planning to enter this Dungeon for the sake of gaining whatever was on the inside in hopes that it would help to strengthen him. But staring at it now...
