"Too much experience!"
Aiden was super excited. He was only level 10 now! The experience pool had so much stored up that he couldn't even count it himself!
There were already hundreds of millions of experience points!
No way he could level up to 20 after unlocking the level cap.
If there was no Class Change limit, Aiden could go from level 1 to 100 in a short time just from the 1000x Critical Strike bonus.
Of course, if this Second Class boosted his class rank, it would take a bit more experience.
But even if the rank was higher, even if it was a Mythic class, what did it matter?
It was a 1000x Critical Strike!
Just by killing a skeleton soldier, Aiden could get rare materials, even high-level weapons!
"Awesome stuff!"
After killing a ton of elite monsters, Aiden had dropped a bunch of gear and skill books.
But
Most of the gear was Gold Rank.
Because the place Aiden landed was pretty much a backwater. Except for the fire demon boss he just met, most of the Abyss monsters had low rank and level.
Getting Gold Rank gear was already pretty good.
But Aiden's gear was mostly above Gold Rank now, so he didn't need to replace it.
However
The skill books were different!
Aiden was surprised to find that he had gotten a Starlight Rank skill book!
[Demon's Domain: Starlight Rank - Create a field filled with death and despair. Instantly gather dark elements and attack all targets inside, dealing high magic and physical damage. It also deals high Spirit damage to those hit. This is a domain skill, a dark skill, and it uses little mana. Increasing mana cost will expand the domain's size, up to ten times bigger.]
"Demons' Domain!!"
Reading the skill description, Aiden was stunned!
This skill book dropped from a level 10 elite monster.
A skill book from a skeleton knight.
Aiden estimated it was at least a 1000x bonus!
And this skill's rank was higher than Diamond Rank Thunder's Wrath. It was Aiden's first Starlight Rank skill book!
It was just one step away from the Epic tier!
"Can expand ten times? A domain skill!"
"And it's a dark skill?!"
Aiden took a deep breath, too shocked to say anything.
As a human, he had always believed in the light.
But the Abyss world was part of the dark side.
But Aiden didn't expect his strongest skill to be related to darkness?
Hmm…
He rubbed his chin, his chest rising and falling slightly. He got lost in thought: "Should I learn it or sell it?"
This skill was really powerful, and Aiden was really tempted.
But
As a smart guy, Aiden knew exactly how skills affected mages.
If a mage learned a light-based skill early on, they'd probably become a light-element mage after their next Class Change.
If they learned healing skills, they'd likely end up in a healing-based class later.
Career growth.
It was just like human growth.
What you learned as a kid would strongly affect you when you grew up.
Dark skills weren't very friendly to humans.
It wasn't just that humans didn't like dark reclassers.
Dark elements could also corrupt humans.
If it got bad, they could even turn into demons, lose their will, and become mindless Abyss monsters.
"Never mind."
Aiden thought for a second, then shook his head.
"Learn it."
His thinking was simple.
If he didn't learn a powerful skill now, he might regret it later!
No matter if people hated him or didn't like him, strength was the only truth.
He immediately learned the Demon's Domain skill.
Right away, he could feel some black dust in his vision.
His ability to sense dark elements had improved a lot.
Then,
Aiden raised his hand.
Suddenly, an enormous domain appeared, glowing with strange and colorful light.
It stood out clearly in the Abyss!
Boom!!
A huge shockwave came.
In the next second, all the Abyss monsters in Aiden's vision exploded, turning into pieces!
The strongest one was a 13-level demon boss!
Aiden was shocked.
"Was it that strong?!"
The power of the Starlight Rank skill was beyond his expectations.
He was stunned for a long time, swallowing hard.
It wasn't just about killing a 13-level boss.
It also killed over 100 monsters at the same time.
And the mana cost was almost nothing.
Aiden barely felt any change.
"If I expand the domain ten times, how strong would it be?"
Aiden's lips were slightly dry.
His eyes shone with excitement and eagerness.
"Run!!"
"Demon Viscount!!"
"What are you doing?!"
"Ah ha ha? A demon viscount? I'm not a viscount, I'm about to become a count! You little bugs, invaders! Daring to take resources in the Abyss? You're asking for death!! Die!!"
Suddenly, a bunch of loud voices made Aiden frown.
He quickly looked up toward the front.
There,
In the light of the fire, deep in the dark Abyss, a group of human boys and girls appeared.
They looked terrified, running toward Aiden's direction.
Behind them, a really scary demon followed.
It was over ten meters tall, like a mountain floating in the air.
The wings behind it were so large they almost blocked out the sky!
Dark purple flames and golden fire danced and burned across the demon's body!
"What? A 40-level Abyss Boss?!!"
Aiden just glanced up, and in the next second, his whole body trembled!
It wasn't fake fear.
A 40-level Abyss Boss!
And looking at the first-class group rushing toward him, Aiden checked their levels.
[Dragon King's Holy Maiden, 17, Legendary Rank]
[Demon God's Messenger, 15, Legendary Rank]
[Troll Warrior, 19, Epic]
??
Aiden glanced at them and was instantly confused. What the heck?
Their gear was super high quality, with the worst being Gold Rank.
Their classes were even more shocking.
Aiden scanned them and saw two Legendary Rank and several Epics right away!
Even the weakest one was Starlight Rank?!!
The girl in front, Dragon King's Holy Maiden, was a girl with an incredibly beautiful face and perfect body.
Her bright eyes shone with light, and even in the dark Abyss, it was easy to tell she was a top beauty.
But the next second, Aiden's eyes shook.
"Vespera?"
He recognized her.
It was almost instinctive.
Wasn't this the Vespera, the top genius girl of the entire country, known as the Sovereign City's strongest talent?
The heiress of the Sovereign City!
She was rich, powerful, and mysterious.
She had been interviewed by the Sovereign City News, often appeared on TV shows, and not long ago, she even gave a speech to encourage all the high school seniors to study hard and get into Garvard University.
But now...
Why was she in the Abyss?!!
"Run!!"
Vespera saw Aiden and was briefly stunned by his handsome face and tall build.
After a moment, she shouted, her face full of panic, "Run! Don't just stand there!! A 40-level Abyss Boss! A Fire Demon!!"
Behind her, the Demon God's Messenger, also a cute girl with a little girl style, raised her hand and cast a high-level skill.
A fire storm formed, barely holding back the Fire Demon Boss.
And the Epic Troll Warrior, the strongest of the group, roared.
The tall, strong boy raised his shield and shouted to the others behind him, "You guys run first! I'll hold it off! No! Not good! I can't hold it much longer!!"
Right after he spoke.
In the next second,
The Troll Warrior shook violently and was thrown back by a wave of force!
From the flames, the demon boss flew out, a cruel smile on its face.
It looked at Aiden and the others and sneered, "Human trash! Are you really that weak?!"
