Transmigrator’s Privileges

- List of [Talents] acquired as a consequence of being a transmigrator.

(1) [Soul Placation (Unique)]

Description: ["When a dragonic entity had gone mad in the past, a nameless princess managed to calm him down. Was it because their souls were bound by fate?" - Scripture of Sophia Biblioteca.]

Unique Effect: [You can easily help calm someone whose mental state is in chaos. The closer your soul resonates with the target, the quicker it will take effect.]

Talent Uniqueness: [It is possible for the opposite effect to be triggered.]

Reminder: Regardless of this -Talent- being Unique-tier, it’s NOT a Growth-type one.

(2) [Grim Reaper’s Favor (?)]

Description: ["She ascended from the puny mundane world yet Her presence is always with us. In the end, we will always be with Her." - Unverified Scripture of Goddess of Death.]

Unique Effect: [You can call upon the "Serene Tomb" for a favor.]

Talent Uniqueness: [None]

Reminder: It is a single-use privilege. Once it’s invoked, this -Talent- will forever disappear.

(3) [Remember (Rare)]

Unique Effect: [You can borrow the strength of your past self, as long as it is true and has once manifested in reality.]

Talent Uniqueness: [You can use this -Talent- to another person in exchange for its oblivion—meaning that this will become a one-time usage.]

Reminder: [It uses 75% of one’s mana regardless of memory strength manifestation and mana pool.]

(4) [False Dragon’s Physique (Growth)]

Description: ["In forgotten times, a half-human, half-dragon princess, pretended to be a true dragon. She was cast out from their realm, even abandoned by the epitome of Wisdom and Magic—the Goddess of Wisdom. As it was written, ’Don’t pretend what you are not.’" — Scripture of Sophia Biblioteca.]

Unique Effect: [Passively absorbs mana from the surroundings; it will automatically filter and segregate any harmful or contaminated mana to be excluded from absorption.]

Growth Level: 0 (Raw)

Initial Effect: Draconic-like Toughness

Description: [Through rigorous training, and by absorbing mana lingering in the atmosphere, your body can become as tough as a false dragon’s scales.]

Talent Uniqueness: [In exchange for body and soul strengthening through corresponding passive mana absorption, you will be forbidden from becoming a true dragon. Because of this, the original number of Growth Stages for this talent will be indefinitely sealed.]

Reminder: [The only way for this -Talent- to reach the next Growth Stage is through the consumption of Rainbow Fruit.]

(5) [Weapon Mastery (Growth)]

Description: ["Strength is power. Power is strength. But the love of weapons is everything." - Eastern Proverb.]

Unique Effect: [You can easily wield and master any weapon.]

Growth Level: 0 (Raw)

Initial Effect: [Talent Resonance]

Description: [Strengthens and quickens the mastery of any technique-type talent.]

Talent Resonance: [This talent is presently resonating with Lunar Swordsmanship.]

Talent Uniqueness: [No matter how quickly you learn how to handle weapons, it will always be weak if it is not compensated with technique. You are also restricted to learn any technique if the one you resonate with is not mastered.]

Reminder: [The only way for this -Talent- to reach the subsequent Growth Stage is to master the resonated technique.]

(6) [Eye That Witnesses Heaven and Hell (?)]

Description: ["It holds a certain truth." - ???]

Unique Effect: [Scans the status of the chosen ’target.’]

Talent Uniqueness: [Triggers ’random observation’ that can be classified into either Heaven or Hell. You can see random truths about the target.]

Reminder: [?]

(7) [Sealed]

Reminder: [This will automatically be unsealed at a certain point.]

It had been a while since I inspected my status. That’s why I asked the system to comprehensively reveal every detail available, which at first I didn’t think was possible. fre.eweb novel\.c om

After briefly checking my [Plundered Talents], which included the ones from the Apostle of the Unseen God and the former royalty of Britanoia Empire, Yuridika—which more like a learned technique than something plundered, that’s why I was somewhat at a loss why it’s categorized that way—my gaze landed on the Area A filled with my soldiers synchronized with their training regimen led by the five squad leaders.

Yusbel and Azrabel... Well, they had suffered enough by running 100 laps and doing 1,000 push-ups—making it possible with mana regulation.

"You! What are you doing? Are you a fucking slug?!"

"Stop being a weasel or I’ll break your leg!"

But it seemed their mood was at an all-time low, considering they’re venting their frustration to the soldiers even with the slightest mistakes—something I wouldn’t also tolerate, so it’s understandable.

It’s not because of the punishment I imposed, but the fact that they might not be able to receive their corresponding rightful rewards by being with me in the First Expedition.

Of course, I’ll grant them the artifacts they deserve after sorting it out. But their usage is tricky; it’s not simple to handle and hand them out without a proper assessment.

Apart from that, the batches of slaves would arrive very soon, which was understandably delayed because what I requested labeled as high-quality was not that simple. After all, they involved mixed races.

While the soldiers continued with rough training as I silently observed them, Kaya, my sister, came up to me with a stack of documents—a comprehensive assessment report.

"You should take a rest first," I said.

One could say that her role was both military administrative and combatant among the ranks.

"Tsk. Would you really let me?"

I chuckled at her words, but to her surprise, I nodded, giving her permission.

She looked suspiciously before finding a seat on my side as I thoroughly read and focused on several categories...

- Five Squad Leaders...

- Four Idiot Mages...

- Four War Children...

- Yena

- Class Mu Potential

- The Prisoner (?)

Yena, huh? She will be useful. No, it’s not like she has a choice but to be of use.

After a few hours, with the afternoon sun scorching the land, as my soldiers were rested and had their fill, another assembly began.

But this time around, I announced what was running on my mind recently, even before the Island Exam of Hero Academy concluded.

"Attention!"

"—!"

Their bodies straightened; their gazes were focused; and their breathing was all stable.

"Before the arrival of your new comrades that will undergo the second Warbody Program, I will now announce our next operation!"

Hearing my words, the atmosphere tensed. It was an undeniable truth that whenever there’s a serious announcement involving military operations, there’s a high chance it contains seemingly nonsensical roles or information.

"We will begin the initial phase of Operation Clairvoyance!"

To prepare for everything that’s coming after the Ranaya incident...

To save yet to show no mercy.

Othenwald County, Northeast of the Holy Empire of Divinia.

A lofty figure sat at the table full of documents, with the surroundings filled with expensive figurines

His eyes were amber-gold, with shoulder-length hair as brown as a desert’s sands, whose body was considerably healthy—a trained warrior of age.

The atmosphere was ordinary, there was no disturbance of any sort. In his hand, there’s a field report that caught his attention.

"Would you look at this jester... Hahaha!"
