Infinite Potential System

--Polarity Resistance: X (1,000,000PP + 100% Comprehension of Primary Law of Gravity)

--Resist Karma: X (1,000,000PP + Severed Karma Thread)

I need to comprehend my Gravity Element completely?! That's going to take a while, I don't even have a Gravity Farm! Not only that, but... Severed Karma Thread sounds kinda ominous.

-A Severed Karma Thread is obtained when you destroy one of the threads attached to yourself.

I expected as much, but what will happen when I sever the thread?

-Your attachment to the individual will completely disappear and you will suffer a backlash, entering a period of weakness for ten days. Conversely, the less Karma you have with others, the harder it is for outsiders to deduce your location and status.

-If you sever Karma with more powerful individuals, there is a high chance that they will detect it immediately and trace the severance to your location, so it's best to be careful.

Seems like it does more harm than good, but it wouldn't be a terrible idea to sever my Karma with someone I barely know... William thought to himself.

The Talent Shop finally completed its cycle and issued out the list of William's new Talents. Despite the System claiming that he had roughly a ten percent chance of successfully unlocking a new Talent, William found that his luck was much worse than that.

Even after counting them all out, William had only gained a total of 56 new Talents. On the plus side, four of them were Epic Talents and one was Legendary, so he couldn't complain.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Common Talents were endless, consisting mostly of Trade Talents and other mostly useless skills. That said, a series of System Notifications followed immediately afterward, making William's eyes glimmer with delight.

Before he continued with anything, William quickly paid the System 2,857,500 Potential Points to raise the 39 new Trade Talents and 6 from the previous batch to X-Rank, then spent six days absorbing all the information.

He had already expected to gain a load of new Talents, and William had no intention of checking the abilities of each individual one if he was just going to merge them all anyway.

Once the 45 new Trade Talents reached X-Rank, they merged with Cooking, Sales, Carpentry, Cartography, Forging, Tailoring, Arrays, and Alchemy which were all at X-Rank already.

With that, 53 X-Rank Talents merged all at once, and William felt a massive headache forming as the Mind Talent almost couldn't keep up.

-Talents merged successfully.

-New Talent: Jack Of All Trades (Celestial)

-Unlocked your first Celestial Talent: +1,000,000 PP

-Trade Talents section removed. Jack Of All Trades is now considered a Passive Talent

-Unlocked your first Celestial Passive Talent: +500,000 PP

While William was extremely tempted at this point to check the information of his first Celestial Talent, he held back and first upgraded all the other Talents that could be merged to X-Rank directly.

His Light Footsteps, Pickpocketing, Lockpicking, Escape Route, and Thief's Wit Talents merged into the Legendary-Ranked Master Thief Talent, finishing off the list of new upgrades available.

With that, William had gained three new Epic Talents, four new Legendary Talents, and a Celestial Talent. Even better, William had lost less than ten million Potential Points! With the six days spent absorbing the information from the Trade Talents, William's Potential Farms had even earned back a large portion of what he spent.

POTENTIAL POINTS: 41,558,482

Phew! That was a lot of System upgrades! William leaned back and opened his eyes to stare at the clouds overhead, where a silver-haired girl was currently practicing fighting techniques with a massive ethereal greatsword.

Fria had already returned long ago, but she could sense William's unique aura that indicated Talent upgrades, so she waited.

And she waited and waited some more. She would log out of the game and go to her college classes, only to find William still seated in the same spot when she returned.

After a week went by, she had become tired of waiting and looked around for Magical Beasts to fight, but there were none! All of William's Companion Beasts were still wiping out the Beast Tides, and nothing had changed from before!

The instant that William's eyes opened, Fria rushed towards her brother with an excited look. "Are you done now? Let's go!"

"Hold on a moment." William replied as he scrolled through the System Panel.

"No! I've been waiting here forever! You can check your new skills out later, let's go now!" Fria pushed William forward from behind, urging him to generate a long-distance portal so they could leave.

William heaved a sigh and smiled. This was just like his sister, always energetic. He twirled his fingers and opened a portal to the Arcturis Continent, then walked through to the other side with his sister close behind.

"We're here." he said.

Fria looked around in amazement. "Really? We're here already? Don't you need at least ten or fifteen portals to cross this much land?"

William was confused, "Who told you that?"

"Well... there are a lot of Players with Space Magic and they've tested a lot of things. No one has been able to do what you've done so far." Fria explained.

"Heh, whatever those Players can do, I can do better." William boasted, but Fria's words sparked a question in his mind.

"If these Players are at the peak already, how come they haven't absorbed the World Cores?" William asked.

This had been at the back of his mind for a while now, since the System said that anyone with Nascent Soul Cultivation could absorb the weaker World Cores and peak Cultivators could absorb even the Superior World Cores if given the chance.
