Chapter 54: Class Advancement
[Aither Mage: The purest form of energy the origin of all creation]
[Rune King: Use runes of olden times to gain the strength of dead gods]
[Divergent Sword: Become a master of the blade that can split dimensions]
"Aither...Brarre was saying how I saw a candidate for it...Is this what he meant?" Virgil asked looking at his available classes.
{Correct, your compatibility with mana has allowed you to surpass a few stages and use Aither}
"But what is Aither?"
{Aither is creation itself. Anything and everything that has ever existed originates from Aither}
"So you're telling me I can control creation itself?" Virgil asked slightly excited
{No, no matter how compatible you are your body cannot withstand even a fraction of Aither. This class upgrade will allow you to infuse your magic with a tiny amount}
"Then what's the point?"
{Because that small amount is enough to make a god at the level of Zues or Odin. Your magic will become on par with God Kings}
"If that's true...What about the Aither shard I received," Virgil asked pulling it out of the inventory.
Grabbing the shard Virgil looked at it. It was a large crystal the size of a phone. It glowed with a vibrant gold and white mix.
[Low-Rank Aither Shard]
[Total Aither: 10,000/10,000]
"So this is a low-rank crystal but it has 10K units of Aither,"
{With that you could create a robot that has the strength of a few pantheons while having the energy to live for a few million years}
"...Well that's...that's something. But I'm guessing it won't be easy to make something that can hold and channel this power,"
{Yes}
"Well even though the other classes are tempting, I wish to know more about Aither and how it can improve my magic," Virgil said going back to the selection screen
Pressing the option for Aither mage Virgil watched as a golden and white light began to envelop him. As the light covered each part of his body it shot up into the sky as a beam of energy creating a pillar of dazzling light.
[You have become an Aither Mage]
[+200 to Body]
[+200 to Agility]
[+ 200 to Dexirity]
[+500 to Spirit]
[Fire of Origin has been strength]
[Your Fire of origin will continue burning until your target's soul is gone]
[Your Fire of Origin has reached a temperature of over 1 Million Degrees Celcius]
[Your Advance-Mana control has become Novice-Aither Control]
[Mental Barrier skill has been removed]
[Your mind can no longer be tempered with]
[Twin-Thought Has Become Second Mind]
[You have gained Low-Rank Creation]
As the cluster of notifications finished ringing out the pillar of light slowly began to fade away. Now standing there was a newly strengthened Virgil. His once-short black hair how long and reached his waist. His blue eyes were now a bright dazzling golden. His body that had grown as if he aged a few tears becoming more toned, and slightly tanner, and lastly a new marking on his chest of a golden hourglass with a scale behind it.
"...So...This is Aither...it's so much better than I could have expected," Virgil said looking at the golden mist that surrounded his body
{...She gave him the mark...It's still too soon for that} Sabastion thought to himself looking at Virgil's new appearance}
"Master...Your strength has grown considerably," Jinwoo said seeing Virgil's transformation
"Yes...This should be beyond what I need to stop Trigon," Virgil replied
{Hey kid I know you're focused on your change but if you haven't realized you are naked}
"Oh you're right," Virgil said slightly embarrassed
"But this is a good chance to test out something new," Virgil said snapping his fingers
With a simple snap, the golden mist that surrounded him began changing up and became a black suit of nanotechnology that surrounded his body becoming a battle suit. On top of it was a simple T-shirt and joggers.
"Second mind is really something. I remember everything from the blueprints I looked at. Now I can make the nano suits without having to wait a few days," Virgil grinned looking at his suit
{As I said even the small amount you received is enough to make you on par with a god}
"Show me my new stats," I want to see the changes after the dungeon

Seeing the new changes in his stats and skills Virgil could not help but grin at the improvements. Excitedly Virgil decided to test out his flames and created a ball of fire.
To his surprise, his flames were no longer blue but a bright golden color and the heat from the flames was so intense that the ground around him began to melt turning into a ring of lava.
"Woah!...This is really intense," Virgil grinned looking at the pool of lava around him
