Demonic Nature

Lucien thought for a bit about what should he ask.

'It apparently can give me everything as long as I have enough points, so it should be possible to invest existence points in a way, that would let me get them back faster, and speed up the overall process.'

'First I have to figure out the power rankings and if possible corresponding stats to it.'

"Can I exchange for information?"

-State your desire-

"I want information on power rankings and corresponding stats to it."

-For current world : 1 existence point-

-For other worlds : 1000 existence points/world-

'So as the information is probably easy to get in the current world, it's not expensive.'

'I guess it makes the prices for information depending on the rarity and difficulty to get it by normal means.'

"For the current world."

The last strand of crimson light separated again leaving behind a 0, as for the rest it shot towards Lucien once more.

-All paths and races could have different naming on their ranks, but to generalize them to an appropriate format, the system is converting them-

-Depending on the path stats might not be balanced, below is showed the strongest stat for the path-

-Rank-

-Commoner /Stats: 1-2

-Entry Rank 0/Stats: 5-10

-Rank 1 /Stats: 50-100

-Rank 2 /Stats: 500-1 000

-Rank 3 /Stats: 5 000 - 10 000

-Rank 4 /Stats: 50 000 - 100 000

-Rank 5 /Stats : 500 000 - 1 000 000

-Anything below Rank 6 is considered mortal, this world doesn't allow anything beyond Rank 5 or in stats 1 000 000 in any given stat, as that would break the balance in a mortal world-

Lucien looked at the list dumbfounded, he had expected some ridiculous stats to be possible, as buying 1.00 stat for 200 existence points, meant he could get pretty far, but the list was beyond his imagination, 1 000 000 commoners in one body, what power would that be.

'I could probably get the Rank system in a book or by asking subtly, but the comparison the stats would be impossible, so 1 existence points was cheap for this information.'

'I'll keep exchanging information in the coming months, as a couple of points can't change much.'

'I really want to know about the paths I can take, but sadly...'

'I wish to leave.'

-Exiting All Existence-

Even through Lucien woke up, he still pretended to sleep, so nobody would disturb him. As he started doing following the breathing method, he felt... nothing.

'I mean it caps at 0.5, if it was doable in a day, I would feel a lot.'

'Probably even destroy my body, as getting half an adult stats in a three months baby body would end badly.'

'I'll just take it slowly, it's not like I have anything better to do right now.'

Time waited for nobody, and Lucien knew that firsthand. In a blink, he was already one year old.

During this time Lucien practiced his foundations and absorbed all things that wouldn't be noticed by maids or his mother.

He had entered All Existence a couple of times over the period of time and gotten information on paths, which was much more expensive than expected. It was still only from this world, but it's not general information like ranks, there were some hidden paths, so it cost him 20 points, which was about half a year of effort.

The response when he bought the information, surprised him a lot.

-Paths in any world are separated into 3 general ranks, namely the Lower Paths that anyone can follow with a manual and a bit of talent-

-The Middle Paths which could be followed in two ways, the first was by understanding a Lower Path that is connected, or comprehending it by a chance-

-And the higher Paths, were the same as the Middle, either through a connecting Middle Path, or by a tremendous lucky chance-

-Paths in the current world-

-Lower Paths-

-Fire-

-Water-

-Earth-

-Metal-

-Wind-

-Light-

-Lightning-

-Darkness-

-These Paths can be followed by anyone with the correct disposition towards them-

-Middle Paths-

-Soul: Can be derived by any lower Path-

-Body: Can be derived with the Earth or Metal Path-

-Sword: Can be derived by any lower Path-

-Spear: Can be derived by any lower Path-

-Ice: Can be derived by Water and Wind Paths-

-Devouring: Can be derived by Darkness Path-

-Blood: Can be derived by Water or Darkness Path-

-Judgement: Can be derived by Light and Lightning Paths-

-Gravity: Can be derived by Earth or Metal Path-

-Freedom: Can be derived by any lower Path-

-Normally practitioners can't derive or comprehend a Middle Path before Rank 4-

-Paths that require more than one Lower Path to derive are stronger, but harder to follow-

-Unorthodox Paths-

-These are Paths that share characteristics with Lower Paths at start, but if promoted further enough could share characteristics with Middle or even a Higher Path-

-Vampire Path: Shares characteristic with Darkness and Water Lower Paths, could evolve into Blood Path or even further-

-Ghoul Path: Shares characteristics with Metal and Earth Lower Paths, could evolve into Devouring Path or even further-

-Soul Devour Path: Shares characteristics with Darkness Lower Path, could evolve into Soul Path or even further-

-Some Paths are unbalanced in stats, but user can practice multiple Paths to compensate, all Paths start from Rank 0, so practicing multiple Paths is like 2 people practicing using one body, or in other words twice as slow-

-Purchasing any entry Rank 0 to any Path costs 1000 existence points-

'So in other words, I can get to 5.00 stats with 5 times 200 points and have the one of my stats on the level of entry rank Path, or gather 1000 existence points and pick a path, which would lead to the same result, but with some bonus abilities.'

'It seems I'm still pretty far from the need to pick, but wait.'

"If I drink human blood, or eat the flesh, that I assume a Vampire or Ghoul do, won't I still get the points, why the need for a Path?"

He was not at all disturbed by the thought, as if he the other ways to achieve his goals were blocked or would take too long, he wouldn't mind bathing the world in blood to get points. Humans, were after all just a resource to him. The only reason he wanted to keep eyes off himself for now, is because he lacked the power to protect his life, should someone want it.

-No points can be converted, if you drink human blood right now, in fact the animal flesh stated in the conversion list is just normal weak animals, not beasts that compare to humans-

-The reason for this is any life comparable to humans has a will in their bodies, even after death, and All Existence cannot convert anything with the original will still on the body, as that would break the balance and Will of the World would notice it, thus descending to exterminate you-

-As a Vampire or Ghoul, when you consume, the will is erased and then the surplus is converted into existence points-

'Hmm, I already could walk when I was 6 months old, because of the breathing exercise, but kept quiet, it seem one year old is not too suspicious, so I can start wandering around and gain more freedom, maybe even escape supervision once or twice. Gathering points will speed up.'

"Show me my stats"

--Lucien BloodMoon-

-Age: 1 year-

-Race: Human-

-Strength: 0.50-

-Agility: 0.50-

-Vitality: 0.50-

-Soul: 2.15-

'The breathing exercise capped, I have to find something better, as I have about 10 points left that is not going to work.'

'I wish to leave.'
