System vs Rebirth

\'It\'s not that much of a secret… It means that this kind of secret will only be told when one reaches the Spirit Grandmaster Level. Even if I know about it now, I might not be able to do anything with it.\'

\'Still, accepting this deal can also make me look like I\'m generous. Damian still has one more option available, which is to kill me since Dimitri is not here. He has the perfect opportunity since we\'re chased by the Supreme Devil Organization.\'

\'In other words, by taking this deal, Damian will think that I\'m someone who doesn\'t hesitate to trade information for my convenience. If he can play his cards right, he could get a lot of benefits from me. I want to make him think that way… Just like my father once said, if you want to snatch someone\'s loyalty, you should use their greed first before using your kindness and charisma.\'

It seemed Noel had decided. He raised a finger and said, "One more rune for that information. You can keep the change."

Damian smiled. "We have a deal."

Noel immediately instructed Ardagan inwardly. \'Ardagan. Exchange my Honor Points to three random rune scrolls.\'

[Exchanging.]

[You\'ve acquired Muscle Enhancement Rune.]

[You\'ve acquired Falling Rune.]

[You\'ve acquired Gauntlet Rune.]

\'Hmm? Am I lucky to receive one rune each? I\'ve got one Rune Enchantment, Rune Engineering, and Rune Spell. Either way, the Muscle Enhancement Rune is pretty useful to increase my strength. It seems that it\'s the upgraded version of the Strength Blessing Rune, but I can also use both at the same time, improving the effect even further.\'

\'The Falling Rune is like the Enhance Forward Rune, but downward. Meanwhile, the Gauntlet Rune is a rune that covers one\'s fist like a gauntlet. I can combine this with Rune Body to strengthen my fist but for later.\'

Noel had finished his thought. Although he had a lot of runes in his head, he hadn\'t practiced them this whole time. He took advantage of the system to use the runes.

And if he wanted to use the rune as a deal, he had to demonstrate the rune was genuine by using it first. So, it was better to get some runes through the scrolls.

That was why he exchanged three of them.

It was a waste, but he had saved a lot of people from the expedition to this city. So, he had a lot of Honor Points to spend for the time being.

He took out his book and formed the Enhance Forward Rune. "I\'m sure that you have seen this rune. This is called Enhance Forward Rune. The name already tells you its power."

The book flew toward Damian as the latter grabbed it.

Before he said anything, Noel continued, forming the Extension Rune. He extended the back of his chair, causing it to almost hit the ceiling. "This is the Extension Rune. Its power is similar to the Enhance Forward Rune, but they serve a different purpose. Someone of your level should understand their difference, right?"

"As for the last rune…" Noel pointed his hand toward Damian. The Falling Rune appeared on top of Damian.

"!!!" Damian widened his eyes as he felt pressure from above, trying to push him to the floor or even break the floor underneath him. The pressure was quite strong, but it wasn\'t at the point where it would stop him from moving.

"The limit of the first rune is fifty meters, and it can lift a small boulder. It packs a lot of power. The second rune can extend something up to twenty-five meters. You can further extend it if you choose a small object. As for the last rune, the power can make you feel as if you are carrying a hundred kilograms of weight on top of you."

"I don\'t think a Spirit Grandmaster like you will be affected by this, but you should be able to see its worth, right?"

Damian\'s expression became serious. Of course, he could see it. The people that would benefit from these runes the most were probably the Spirit Masters and Spirit Wielders.

There were more Spirit Masters than Spirit Grandmasters, and the same applied to the Spirit Wielders. If normal soldiers could use it, there would be a huge change in how they fought.

After all, normal people could use the runes, or what the books said. Rose was the best example.

Of course, Rose could master the runes far faster than anyone due to her senses. Because her vision was better, she could see all kinds of details. In other words, she could learn twice faster than that of normal people. That was why she was able to master Noel\'s runes that fast.

She served the purpose of telling others that normal people could use the runes.

He thought for a moment and nodded. "Indeed. Are you going to give me the record about these three runes?"

"Yeah. Though, I\'m not giving you the exclusive right. You should know the right is expensive, right?"

"…" Damian narrowed his eyes. If Noel wasn\'t useful anymore, he could answer that question easily. But Noel still had a lot of secrets that were waiting to be exchanged.

Damian let out a long sigh. "Alright. I understand that."

eαglesnovel`c,om Noel smiled. "It seems that you\'re not going to ask for the rights."

"Your development is too fast. Why should I bother with the rights? I can just gather everything you show me and send it first so that the kingdom can take advantage of it faster than anyone else." Damian shrugged.

Noel sighed. Damian was indeed clever. "Well, I\'ll give you all of them after you answer my question."

"Sure. I don\'t have a problem." Damian nodded. He paused for a moment. His eyes focused on him as if he was trying to see through him. "Since you told me to keep the change, I\'m giving you a bonus. I hope you don\'t take this as an insult…"

"You… are like a Spirit Ability Thrower instead of a true Spirit Master."
