Talent Swallowing System

‘Swoosh’

Leo and the old remnant spirit appeared on plain ground. Around them, as far as his eye could see, there was not a single tree or boulder.

“Welcome to the ‘Reality Domain’.”

As Leo checked his surroundings, he saw a white-masked man welcome them.

“So, you must be Odren’s participant. Not bad.”

From the side, a humanoid dragon walked toward him and nodded his dragon head.

‘Who are they?’

Leo didn’t dare to use the system to check on them because they seemed to be in the same league as the old remnant spirit.

“Are your participants ready?”

Odren asked them in a calm tone.

“Yes. They have arrived just in time.”

The Dragon head and the White mask nodded as they called their participants.

“Participant Hermax. I am from the Grade 3 Golden Titan World.”

Soon, a human five meters in height walked toward them and introduced himself to everyone.

‘He is not a human. He is a Golden Titan.’

Even though it was Leo’s first time meeting a Golden Titan, he could instantly recognize the race because he had read about them in the records while searching for ways to break his slave seal.

“Particpant Zorak, I am from the Grade 2 Frost Devil Wolrd.”_-.

In the next second, another participant walked from behind the Masked remnant spirit and introduced himself just like the Golden Titan.

‘Is he a frost devil?’

It was also Leo’s first time seeing a Frost Devil, and unlike the Golden Titan, he had never seen them even in the records.

“Particpant Leo.”

Leo only told his name as he didn’t know what grade his world was.

“Huh? Participant Leo, what is your world’s grade?”

Zorak, as the frost devil, humans were his arch enemies from ancient times.

Nevertheless, he suppressed his urge to kill Leo and asked what his world’s grade was.

“Hm…I don’t know.”

Leo shrugged his hands as he replied with a calm tone.

“Huh? You don’t know?”

Zorak frowned and replied, “So, you must be from a grade 0 world that has yet to receive the assessment.”

There was a hint of mockery in his words, and it was clear that Zorak looked down on Leo.

‘Huh? Grade 0? Yet to receive the assessment?’

Leo frowned as he didn’t know what they were talking about.

‘He is clearly looking down on me because I am from the grade 0 world. Since he is from a grade 2 world, he must be feeling high and mighty.’

However, he could understand something from his words.

“Leo, I will explain about the grades of the world after this round. For now, focus on winning the round.”

The old remnant spirit took a look at Zorak before replying to Leo.

“Okay.”

The most important thing for Leo right now was to win the round. As for the grades of the world, he didn’t care much.

So, he nodded after hearing the old remnant spirit’s words.

“Haha…winning the round? Can a participant from a Grade 0 world win this round? This is the biggest joke I have ever heard.”

Zorak could not hold back his words when he heard the old remnant spirit’s words.

As for Hermax, he remained silent without any expression.

In his eyes, both Leo and Zorak were non-existent as they belonged to lower graded worlds than him.

“…”

The three remnant spirits were dissatisfied with Zorak’s words; however, they knew he was not wrong.

“The final round is not between the worlds. It is between the participants.”

The dragon remnant spirit spoke to stop Zorak from speaking more.

“In this round you will be fighting one-on-one with your fellow participants,”

After finishing his words, he looked at the masked remnant spirit.

“Treasure points”

As soon as the masked remnant spirit said those two words, numbers appeared above the heads of the three participants.

<Participant Leo has 6.5 million treasure points>

<Participant Zorak has 10 million treasure points>

<Participant Hermax has 15 million treasure points>

The old remnant spirit announced the treasure points in the accounts of the three participants.

<The participants with the lowest treasure points will be fighting each other, and the winner will fight the participant with the highest treasure points>

Looking at the three participants, the old remnant spirit explained about the final round.

‘So, I will be fighting this frost devil?’

Leo silently thought and checked the information on Zorak to see what type of talent he awakened.

‘Ding,

Assessment

Name: Zorak.

Race: Frost Devil.

Strength: Rank 9 Devil.

Talents: 1) Ice Burst (level 9).

2) Absolute Devour (level 4).

3) Devil transformation (level 9).

4) Fireball (level 8).

5) Earthquake (Level 6).

‘What the hell?’

When he saw that the frost devil had awakened five talents, he was shocked to the core.

‘Even with the ‘Talent swallowing system’, so far, I was able to gain six talents. Damn it… is it so easy to awaken the talents in grade 2 world?’

Leo frowned as he wondered whether the grade of the world had anything to do with the number of talents awakened.

‘Ding,

Even though the world’s grade helps its residents awaken good talents and increase their levels, that was not the case for the frost devil named Zorak.

‘Huh?’

Leo was surprised by the sudden system notification.

Normally, the system would not bother to say anything unless it was related to something important.

So, he waited for the system to continue with its explanation.

‘Ding,

It might have something to do with the ‘Absolute Devour’.

‘Absolute Devour?’

For some reason, the system could not show the full information on Zorak’s talents. So, Leo didn’t have a way to confirm the system’s words.

‘Ding,

Currently, the system is not powerful enough to see the information on the talents belonging to the grade 2 world’s residents.

Once it gave the reason, the system didn’t say anything and returned to its usual calmness.

<The first match will be between Participant Leo and Participant Zorak>

The old remnant spirit shouted aloud, making Leo come out of his thoughts and focus on the fight.

<Are you ready?>

“I can kill him even if I was half-asleep.”

Zorak replied to the old remnant spirit while looking at Leo.

“I am ready.”

As for Leo, he casually nodded as he prepared a plan to defeat Zorak.

<Let the fight begin>
