Seeing his spirit affinity increase the lowest, Orsted felt a little dissatisfied. The higher his spirit affinity, the faster Zarestia could grow stronger in time. Though not his main focus, he hoped for her to grow faster.
[The modifications have been completed!]
[The next template milestone is 50%]
The system injected knowledge into his mind, of the said modification.
The situation was slightly familiar to when Orsted initially came to this world. The system had created the title - [Dragon god] with somewhat of a history as a story.
'But it's more complicated this time. The tablet of seven great powers, I remember it from the world of Jobless reincarnation....'
It was a squarish stone shaped monument spread across the world, a kind of system that denotes the seven strongest combatants in existence. Which was magically updated to reflect changes in strength, such as when one warrior defeats another.
According to the information provided by the system, this tablet existed from the start of the world. Unlike in jobless reincarnation, where Laplace created it.
'A tablet that existed from the birth of the world, that is what all the living beings of this world believe. But, this tablet is a little different from the one in jobless reincarnation.'
The tablet of seven great powers stayed active the whole time in Jobless reincarnation. However, in this world, the tablet activated only in times of a great disaster.
The last time it activated was 400 years ago, when Satella, the witch of envy, devoured around half the world.
Foreteller of disaster - this was what the inhabitants of this world called it.
'- And it activated just now in the perspective of the world. No wonder my intuition was telling me it might help me in obtaining dragon points. Anyone whose name appears in this tablet would be considered as the seven strongest beings in the world.'
Orsted was very confident of his current strength and he knew it would definitely be listed among the initial names.
'System, can you show me the names of the current seven great powers?' Orsted inquired calmly.
[It is possible. Processing....]
[1. Sword saint, Reinhard Van Astrea.]
'.....I see, even as a 11 or 12 year old kid....' Orsted continued reading.
[2. Witch of envy, Satella.]
[3. Dragon god, Orsted.]
[4. The most beautiful shinigami, Zarestia.]
[5. Archbishop of greed, Regulus Corneas.]
[6. The divine dragon, Volcanica's husk.]
[7. The admirer, Halibel.]
After studying the rankings, Orsted raised his brows.
'Cecilus is still young now, so I guess it makes sense for his name to not be here. I was thinking Roswaal might make it, but Halibel does hold many advantages against him.' Orsted remembered about his chain quest at this point.
[Chain quest 1: Defeat a hundred challengers - {0/100}.]
[Reward: +10 divinity and 1 gacha chance.]
[Complete the [chain quest 1] to unlock the next quest.]
'As expected. Since people could become one of the seven great powers by defeating me, there would soon be many people coming to challenge me. Since my location isn't hidden, I would be the easiest to find, second to Reinhard.' Orsted didn't feel worried truthfully.
Since dragon points were coming chasing after him, why would he turn away?
The [Dragon god divinity] interested him the most currently. Orsted could feel its existence flowing through not just his physical body, but even his soul. From just a glance, this [Divinity] felt tens of times more potent than his [Dragon battle aura].
[Advice: When the host's divinity reaches 80%, you will be bestowed with unlimited lifespan.]
'What?!'
Though infinite lifespan in itself felt amazing, it was a different matter all together when it came to Orsted - with his [Rewrite]. He could render himself unkillable like Satella or Reinhard too.
Even enhance himself without limit till no one could match him.
'Divinity...' Orsted stared at his hand as silver-black miasma covered it - the so-called [Dragon god divinity]. It was lacking in quantity now, he predicted it would be emptied in 3 minutes.
'....This chain quest seems to be more important than I expected. I will have to plan properly to make people challenge me more, to usurp my position as one of the seven great powers.' Orsted's eyes shone brightly.
"Since you can turn back, it means we're done here, right?" Zarestia spoke while placing both her hands on her waist.
"Yeah, I'm done. Leave this place and the barrier as it is for now. I think it might come into use in the future. You, Oni maid, inform Roswaal about it after returning." Orsted's voice felt tired and rough.
"Understood." Rem nodded her head and left after packing the food basket.
"What is it? What is it? Tired? Bored? Let's go out hunting! Hunting lifts up your spirit when you feel down!" Zarestia held his hand and spoke in her usual prideful voice and face.
'Tired? I see....It must be the effect of getting original Orsted's 25% fighting experience memories.' Orsted concluded.
Even if the memories were only made out of battle experiences, it still affected Orsted to a degree. If he spoke naturally now, his voice had a tinge of tiredness that the original Orsted always possessed.
"... Let's hunt, only for a while though." In reality, Orsted couldn't understand Zarestia's joy from hunting.
While playing around with the witchbeast alongside Zarestia, Orsted split his attention in multi-tasking as usual.
'I have enough lifespan to change my respawn point now. Using it at the start of the plot feels more useful, but I can't rest easily if I left it at my initial respawn point either.' Orsted's paranoid mind couldn't rest easy.
Even if his strength was unmatched someday, it didn't appear that his mind would rest easy anytime soon.
'System, can you set it so that - if I die, you change my respawn time to one day before my death with [Rewrite]? No, wait, make it three days before my death.' Orsted changed the specifics for caution's sake.
[It is possible.]
'Set it so.'
[Ding! Your respawn point has been set to three days before your death! If the host's lifespan falls below 2,000 years before dying, the respawn point will be set back to the previous point.]
With one of the important matters completed, Orsted moved towards the next problem.
[Random demon summoning card] - Orsted got this item after using the one gacha chance he had been saving for a while. Using it only three months ago, when his [Paranormal intuition] gave him a good probability.
In the end, what did he obtain? A gacha within a gacha.
