YM778.TV Chapter 191: Insane Powerup
Aaaand points spent.
The moment I dump my points into the new class, a sharp, searing pain shoots through my eyes.
"Shit!" I curse, staggering backward as I clutch my face. "The system didn\'t mention anything about this again!"
It\'s like needles are being driven into my skull, the pain blinding and relentless. My vision goes white, then black, flickering between the two. It\'s all I can do to keep from screaming. Blossom and Ayame are immediately at my side, concern etched on their faces, but I wave them off while gritting my teeth.
"It\'s… fine," I manage to growl through the agony, though it feels anything but fine. "Another… damned reconfiguration."
The pain stretches on for what feels like forever, each second an eternity of torment. I\'ve been through body changes before, but this one feels different. My eyes burn as if they\'re being reshaped from the inside out, molded into something new- something darker.
Then, just as suddenly as it began, the pain vanishes.
I blink. Once. Twice. The throbbing fades, replaced by an odd, almost soothing sensation. Slowly, I open my eyes.
Everything is different.
The dim cavern that had been cloaked in shadows now looks like it\'s bathed in light. Every detail is sharp, every crevice illuminated. The bloodhound\'s corpse, the jagged stone walls, the faint cracks in the floor- it\'s all crystal clear, despite the lack of proper light.
That\'s not all. I can see far into the distance, as if a binocular was permanently attached to my eyes.
"Your eyes, they\'re… glowing red." Ayame states in a tone that is full of worry. "Do they hurt?"
"Hahaha! This is amazing! I feel like I\'ve been half-blind all this time!" I shout energetically. I can see so much all of a sudden.
Nightvision, farsight, and maybe even more.
I give a wicked grin. "I\'ve been upgraded once again."
[Primordial Villain class unlocked.]
[Description: The Primordial Villain is the embodiment of all that is evil. It is the supreme class of the evil path, designed to assimilate and amplify every form of darkness within the host. No longer bound by the limitations of individual evil classes, the Primordial Villain unifies them, offering unmatched power and versatility to those who embrace its sinister nature.]
[Assimilating host\'s evil classes… Thief Level 22. Assassin Level 10. Slave Master Level 10...]
[Assimilation complete. From this point onward, all evil classes will remain active indefinitely as long as Primordial Villain remains the Primary Class.]
What the…? I equip it into the primary slot and check, and all three classes are there under it, as if they became its subordinates, or secondary classes of the class itself.

\'So many boosted numbers… This status window suddenly became so beautiful… Ayame has 50-49-50 in all stats, or at least had while she was the same level as I am now, 14, but I also have 40 attribute points left to spend as I wish. In fact, let me put 5 into each physical stat, leaving me with 25 to spend later.\'

Numbers such as these also mean qualitative change in my physical form.
I feel it immediately- the change, the surge. Every fiber of my body hums with newfound power. It\'s like someone turned the world\'s gravity down a notch, like I\'m lighter, quicker, more in control. My muscles feel denser, more responsive, as if they\'ve been forged from something tougher than before.
There\'s a sharpness to my senses now- an awareness of the slightest movements, the faintest shifts in the air. Even my breathing seems deeper, smoother, as though my lungs are more efficient, drawing in more oxygen than they ever could.
When I clench my fists, the strength behind them surprises me. It\'s not just raw power- it\'s refined, focused. My skin seems tougher too, as though it\'s braced for what comes next, while my reflexes… I can tell I could react to things much more quickly.
My body isn\'t just stronger- it\'s better. Faster. More durable. I feel like I\'m on a higher plane of existence physically, a step above what I was moments ago. And the best part? It feels right.
Like this is what I was always meant to be.
\'This is… perfect.\'
If being a villain means having such benefits, then definitely count me in.
Now I have two free Secondary Class slots left, one will definitely be the Wizard, and the other is up for debate. I really want Healer to be available, but I doubt the Goddess would give it to me. It\'s most likely no longer compatible with my build.
It would be quite the comical scenario, my main class would be Primordial Villain, while the secondary one Healer, which is only given to those that have noble, altruistic hearts.
A charitable evil.
Sadly, that\'s definitely not my description.
Anyhow, the gifts don\'t end here.
It\'s time to check if the new class provides me with unlockable spells or classes.
I can see a few classes, such as Necromancer and Dark Mage, but they need much higher levels than what I have, and also require me to have the Wizard class at a high level. I just skim through them, knowing we are strapped for time and they will only come into play later anyways.
Besides the classes, there\'s only a single spell.
But what a spell it is…!
[Warp Gate]
[Description: All successful villains need a good getaway plan. Warp Gate enables the Primordial Villain to open a temporary portal to a location they have previously visited. The farther the distance, the higher the mana cost. The portal can only be anchored to physical structures, such as walls and other big, solid objects. It cannot appear in mid-air freely, on either end of the gate.]
[Requirements: Primordial Villain Level 1, Unused Skill Points 3]
