Limitless Fortune: I Collect SSS-Rank Skills as Payment-Chapter 45: Class Awakening

"Why? Of course, for the class awakening. Didn’t I say it already?"

Lilith smiled like a flower, giving a standard answer. The more Lucien showed a cautious reaction, the more she would smile.

It was as if she were having fun teasing him.

It really managed to irk Lucien so much that he even forgot about Boros and warned,

"Don’t play with me, bitch. Did you forget that about my mark?"

Lucien wasn’t someone who would enjoy being teased around by a girl. Honestly, he hated such things with passion.

So, he directly cursed a princess of a kingdom as a bitch, causing Lilith to widen her eyes.

"Now, don’t act surprised, and tell me what you are planning. Otherwise...."

Lucien directly activated the Crimson Sigil on Lilith’s mind, causing her smile to go stiff, as she suddenly clutched her head unconsciously.

"Stop, don’t use that power."

Lilith hurriedly put aside her teasing look and asked Lucien to stop. From the way she looked, she didn’t seem okay.

Only, Lucien failed to see her restless eyes and the pink hue that slightly appeared on her face, as soon as he activated the mark.

"That’s better. Now, can we talk normally?"

Lucien also didn’t want the situation to escalate too much. After all, in truth, he was the only weaker opponent in this place.

That’s why he directly used the mark, his strongest means, to warn Lilith.

This girl was too dangerous.

Who knew what she would do if left unchecked?

He didn’t want to end up like that, Boros—a skeleton.

"Hah... why are you so impulsive?"

Lilith took a deep breath to calm herself down after Lucien canceled his skill and complained with a pout.

But seeing the dark look on Lucien, she finally stopped her changing expression and replied neutrally,

"I wasn’t lying. The Awakening Altar at the Genesis Rift Dungeon needs a sacrifice to work. The sacrifice generally can be blood, bone of a monster, or a mana crystal, but if you want to gain proper support, it’s better to use a living human."

Lilith explained casually and then continued,

"Otherwise, how do you think a novice dungeon could have a semi-autonomous spirit?"

She smiled and then signaled at the lotus that had finally turned pure white just like before.

Only, from its rhythmic dance, faster than before, it seemed quite happy.

"I don’t know much about how the dungeon works. But I think the spirit seems happy, so we should now be able to awaken our class."

As soon as Lilith’s words finished, the dancing lotus suddenly stopped, and then Lucien heard a robotic announcement just like before:

[Sacrificial ritual has been successful.]

[Initiating the sequence for the class awakening.]

The robotic sound was just like before, neutral and only saying what was necessary.

[Two individuals ready for class awakening have been detected.]

[As a special perk of the Awakening Altar, you can awaken your class directly in connection with the Mother Origin.]

[Please, relax and allow the dungeon to assist you. No harm can come to anyone during the awakening.]

As soon as it finished its speech, Lucien suddenly felt the entire altar blaze with pure white light, covering him in a blink.

"Don’t move. It is just the awakening process. Instead, listen to what advice Mother Origin says at the end. It’s extremely useful."

Just when Lucien was alert and about to dodge the light, Lilith suddenly stopped him in a very serious tone.

And as she said, she also allowed herself to be swallowed in the light before giving him a tip.

’Mother Origin? What did she mean?’

Although Lucien didn’t fully believe what she said, he still trusted his gut.

Feeling that there didn’t seem to be any danger, he relaxed, ready to experience this so-called class awakening for the first time.

[Your detailed test evaluation has started.]

As soon as he relaxed, he suddenly felt someone whispering in his mind. The voice was extremely soothing and caring, just like his mother’s when he was a child.

[Despite being unlucky and weak, you fought your enemy with deception, traps, and quick strikes, killing not with strength, but with a cunning mind.]

[You are a Rogue.]

The voice continued analyzing his trial in the dungeon as Lucien suddenly saw the scene where he had appeared in the forest and was attacked by the wolf.

Then, it showed how he managed to kill it using his Golden Flick skill and a blade.

[You managed to gain the loyalty of a greedy rodent with a useless gold coin.]

[You are a typical Merchant.]

The evaluation continued as Lucien saw a slideshow of everything he had done in the dungeon. Fortunately, the dungeon didn’t seem to be aware of him extracting stat points out of thin air.

[Despite being attacked without a reason, you showed extreme generosity to greedy monsters.]

[You are a Martyr.]

Lucien couldn’t help but twitch his mouth when he saw the scene of him taking out a coin pouch with a smile and scattering it during the attack.

’Why do I feel like this is a little stupid?’

[You managed to make use of the hoard of monsters under your control at any cost to win against a stronger opponent. You showed no mercy.]

[You are a Brood King.]

’What the hell is that?’

[You can use uncanny magic skills and mental power to disorient your enemy.]

[You are a Sorcerer.]

The vision showed him using Tunnel Grid to attack the Earth Dragon’s mind, making it lose itself and focus on gaining those gold coins.

[You have high agility and teleportation skills.]

[Although your perception is low, you can be an Assassin.]

Lucien saw the scene of him fighting Glen, dodging the fatal attack with his skill.

[You managed to make a soul link with a monster even though you haven’t awakened your class yet.]

[You are a natural Beast Tamer. You are quite unique.]

’What is it trying to do?’

Lucien was confused as the dungeon continued to analyze.

He thought it would just give him some random class based on what suited him. Why was it continuously analyzing each part?

’Is this the benefit she talked about?’

[You managed to gain control of the Seed of Greed. That was quite impressive.]

[You are a Devourer.]

Then, finally, the scene returned to the place where he faced Lilith and was on the verge of death.

[You can control some power of the Seed of Lust.]

[Your affinities with the powers of Sin seem to be high.]

[You can be a natural Enchanter.]

[Analysis of your test has been completed.]

[Please wait, as you will be immediately assigned a class as per your potential.]

’Thank god it stopped.’

Lucien twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly as the more it went on, the more ridiculous it was getting.

’Couldn’t it just give me a class, for fuck’s sake? Why make so much drama?’

He thought.

’Hope it won’t be something like Enchanter or Rogue,’ Lucien prayed, not wanting to end up as a seducer or a street rat.

[After the analysis, you have been assigned a perfect class as per your performance.]

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the voice to return as it finally got to the point.

[Your abilities are impressive, but also all over the place. You are a jack of all trades, but master of none.]

[You can use the abilities of many classes, but belong to none.]

[You are an outsider.]

Lucien’s heart skipped a beat when the voice whispered this to him. Fortunately, it continued, as if it were just a figure of speech.

[A single class might ruin your potential while giving more isn’t the solution.]

....

....

[Congratulations! You have awakened a unique class of your own: The Empty Throne.]
