Chapter 59: The Talk of the Tower (2)
Chapter 59: The Talk of the Tower (2)Risir knew little about the Gray Tower. He wasn’t sure which elementals resided here, nor did he have a clear understanding of the types of mages who called it home.
Are they talking about me?
He could still vaguely sense that the ‘Mr. X’ and ‘Mr. Y’ Enna and Rassiel spoke of—the master of the mysterious elemental and the impressive 5th-rank young mage—were, in fact, none other than himself.
He wasn’t about to be all arrogant and go, “The only one impressive enough to be that person here is me, Risir, the man destined to become the greatest bastard in history.”
It was simply a matter of context and flow.
-Don’t seduce those two people.
Risir remembered Meltas’ cryptic words before the investigation started. He had taken them as recognition of his undeniable charm, but it turned out they meant, “Don’t reveal yourself,” for a situation like this.
So Risir kept quiet. Even if Meltas hadn’t said anything, it wouldn’t have been much different.
Here I am, the MAN you’ve been desperately
“Hm...”
To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations. If anyone felt excited about something produced through that process, well, they’d be someone to watch out for.
Well, at least it came from the mouth. And since she went to the trouble of making it...
I took a deep breath and swallowed the bead in one gulp. Then, settling on the edge of the bed, I closed my eyes.
I focused all my senses inward, bracing for any changes that might come from ingesting it.
“...Huh?”
My eyes flew open as I hastily glanced down at myself.
“W-what the...?”
I was glowing. And it wasn’t just a faint shimmer—it was actual, full-blown luminescence. The kind that would make adventurers lost in dark dungeons sigh and say, “Damn, if only Risir were here...”
“...!”
I quickly shut my eyes again.
Something unusual was happening inside me.

[Title : bruh I couldn’t believe my fcking eyes lol]
Post : Is this really an elemental core?
It raises three whole stats? Lololololol
This is practically like leveling up three times lol
Now I get why they say to start stat farming when you hit a level cap
: yeah it’s literally the core of leveling...
-[OP] : damn son lmao
: what kind of core raises three stats?
-[OP] : intermediate rock elemental Duvada’s core
: tf this bro built affinity of a rock elemental instead of wind, water, or wood elemental girls
: Pardon me, but are you exploring alternative uses for same-sex excretory organs?
-[OP] : it’s just stat farming wtf
: But isn’t an intermediate elemental at least level 40?
Don’t you need to be 20 levels higher to unlock dialogue options with elementals?
-[OP] : that’s why they say to do it when you hit the level cap
: btw elementalists can unlock dialogue options at the same level
: Wow, so an intermediate elemental core raises three stats
: then how much do high elemental core give?
-[OP] : there are high elemental cores?
: In this game, high elementals = all dead or became bosses
: oh man lul
: Eating those will make you sick
: wasn’t that Sylph boss in southern Bondalles a high elemental?
: yh
: Is the ‘Howling Wind’ you get from defeating Sylph the core?
: prolly? I mean eating that boosts ur agility by 5
-[OP] : ooh, i’m going there now
: don’t think u can beat Sylph if you just at level for stat farming tho
: Sylph is level 63
-[OP] : uh shit

[Title : ffffffuccck this is bullshit lololololololol]
Post : What the fuck is this Doomsday Wolf?????
: so u ate it KEK
: HAHAEHAHAHAHA
-[OP] : what is it you asssholles lmao
: that why u dont go blindly eating shit from strangers yo
-[OP] : didn’t yall say to eat the elemental core from beating Sylph?
: bruh u got it from the Doomsday Wolf
-[OP] : but its the same elemental-type boss after Sylph wtf
-[OP] : ANYONE would think it natural to that its core would raise stats too no?
: You still don’t understand this game?
-[OP] : i mean bro
-[OP] : is there no way to recover?
-[OP] : dropping 5 in all stats is such a dick move
: ofc u can recover
-[OP] : how?
: build affection with other elementals and stat farm
-[OP] : k quitting
: But I wonder what would have happened if the Doomsday Wolf didn’t get corrupted
Would that elemental core have raised all stats by 5?
: idk doesn’t a high elemental give 5 in a single stat?
: Looking at the lore mentions of this one, it might be right.

***As the tower was gradually bathed in the hues of sunset, High Priest Bardros and a group of priests arrived at Risir’s quarters for one final check on his physical condition.
They knocked, and a voice replied.
“...Come in. But don’t be surprised.”
The priests exchanged serious looks—had something happened?
They hurried inside.
“...Oh, my dear lord.”
The moment they caught sight of Risir, the priests pressed their palms to their chests in a sacred gesture, murmuring prayers under their breath.
