Chapter 2427: Rank Up

　　Frank, Harumi, and Matsuo continued their adventure through the giant labyrinthian Corrupted Domain. They pa.s.sed through ten more rooms with similar patterns than before. The Yokai, however, grew progressively stronger, gaining strange purple auras that made them twice or sometimes thrice as strong.

　　Nonetheless, they were still small fry, and with Frank carrying a lot of Mana Potions this time, as he had prepared very well for the occasion, they managed to get through them without issues, earning some new Mana and Health Potions occasionally, and also...

　　"GRAAARRGH!"

　　As a giant Umbrella Yokai perished by a giant boulder made of black stone that Frank conjured, a small skill book was generated once more.

　　"Oh nice, finally another!"

　　Compared to potions and magic cores for things such as alchemy and so on, skill books were always an overall rare item drop from monsters. Frank felt overjoyed the moment he saw it floating in midair like games showed them usually.

　　He quickly grabbed it alongside a couple other potions that had dropped, using it instantly as The glanced at his level up notifications, he had reached max level.

　　Ding!

　　[You have slain a large quant.i.ty of [Mutated Yokai]!]

　　[You earned a large quant.i.ty of EXP!]

　　[Level Up!]

　　[Level Up!]

　　[Level Up!]

　　[Your Level has increased from Level 17 to 20/20!]

　　[All your Stats have increased!]

　　[You earned 2.000 Bonus APP Points!]

　　[You have reached Max Level and can now Rank Up your Cla.s.s.]

　　[The [Mutated Yokai: Kasa-obake] has dropped a [Mutated Kasa-obake Skill Book (? Rank)] x1!]

　　"I can Rank Up my Cla.s.s now... I should do this right after this."

　　Ding!

　　[You have used the [Mutated Kasa-obake Skill Book (? Rank)] x1!]

　　[You learned the Skill: [Spirit-Reflecting Demon Umbrella: Kasa-obake: Lv1]!]

　　[By spending Mana, you can summon the Spirit-Reflecting Demonic Umbrella in the shape of the Kasa-obake Yokai, which will help you s.h.i.+eld yourself from incoming spiritual attacks and even reflect them once.]

　　"Interesting... Now."

　　Ding!

　　[You have reached Max Level, and you qualify to Rank Up your Cla.s.s!]

　　[Showcasing Cla.s.s Rank Up Options...]

　　[Yokai Eating Sorcerer]

　　[Null Magician]

　　[Magical Namer]

　　"Weird Cla.s.ses..."

　　Frank didn't remember any of these appearing in his prophetic dreams at all! So these were all-new and unique. He supposed that he had already begun to change the future to this extent. The b.u.t.terfly effect was strong.

　　"What's the best I could pick, System?"

　　He tried asking the System, he remembered he could talk to his System in his dreams, and their personality was similar to a big sister of sorts.

　　[...]

　　[Based on your current situation, the best choice would be [Yokai Eating Sorcerer]. Based on your Magical Power development, the best option would be [Null Magician], and based on your unique ability growth, [Magical Namer] would be the best.]

　　"Hmm..."

　　Based on how quick he leveled up at the start, Frank decided to go for the first option for now. He'll definitely get a better magician cla.s.s later.

　　Ding!

　　[You have selected the [Yokai Eating Sorcerer] Cla.s.s Rank Up!]

　　[You have been marked with the mark of the Yokai Eater. Your Stomach has been shaped into

　　an inferno where cursed spirits slowly are digested, turned into your power.]

　　[By eating Yokai, you can gain a certain amount of Stats and even random Skills, occasionally, or even trigger Skill Evolutions!]

　　[Additionally, you can now learn Cursed Spirit Sorcerer Magic Spells through conjuring Cursed Spirit Mana.]

　　[You learned the Skill: [Yokai Eater: Lv1]!]

　　[Your Physical Stats have increased by +100!]

　　[Your Magical Stats have increased by +200!]

　　[Your Level Cap has been opened to Level 40!]

　　[Your Level has been reset to Level o!]

　　"Hm?!"

　　Frank was surprised as his Aura erupted with tremendous new power, darkness and crimson energies as well surged, cursed powers he had now gained.

　　For a moment, as he gained this magical power, he felt his aura surging and growing larger, suddenly resembling an aberrant ent.i.ty.

　　A monstrous ma.s.s of darkness with countless jaws devouring thousands of agonizing Yokai...

　　"Ah!" he gasped for air, sighing in relief. "That was weird..."

　　Every time he Ranked Up he would have a small vision, it didn't really say he would become that, but it represented the path he was walking with each new Cla.s.s.

　　"Graawrr!" as Frank grabbed her, she licked his face cutely.

　　FLAs.h.!.+

　　And then began glowing brightly.
