Requiem Of A Failed Hero



A lot of things that happened in Raith's fight with Cor-Ellion he had forgotten.

The pain and humiliation, however stuck to his head. If there was anything Raith was able to realize it was the fact that he would soon begin to meet foes that transcend the concept of death.

In essence, it would not matter to them if he can rise from the dead, just like how Cor-Ellion dealt with him and binded him to eternal damnation without having to kill him. He understood that at some point he would need to get over himself.

And that is why the next attribute he has been looking to explore is the failure one.

The dissatisfaction failure brings.

It looked useless. It still does but Raith was being optimistic here. Well, that was before he unlocked this new attribute creation.

'I might not need anything again. This might be the final piece of the puzzle I have been searching for'

Raith gladly dismissed the thought of doing something about his 'failure' attribute. It after all has been the most dormant one.

Dark lord is the reason why he has dark energy and can harvest the darkness of souls and make them to be his soldiers, it is the reason why he became a monarch of darkness.

Darker than Black, is a space between life and death and the reason why he got the title, 'one who devours death'. In fact, it is his best attribute.

Book of Requiems gives him unique stats and properties that come in handy during battle. Such as the unique blood property that he now has.

Dissatisfaction failure brings? That one only activated once and that was it. With the creation attribute, Raith could do a lot with himself.

Like right now, he was changing the interface menu color to blue and font type to Roboto.

[Are you sure you want to save setting?]

'Yes'

[Setting saved]

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm After adding a number of touches here and there to his status menu, Raith got ready for the real deal.

Mok Jun-Seo and Min-Ho were still looking at him as though he was mad.

Create a sun?

That was a mad statement. It made no common sense.

"So, let me get this straight hunter Raven."

Mom Jun-Seo finally spoke after a few minutes of silence. He walked quicken his pace, catching up to Raith who had begun to walk deeper into the continent.

"So, you mean to say that you want to create some sort of artificial sunlight?"

"No, I will create the real thing. Tell me about your sun. Having an exact one here will definitely burn down the ice and regulate the temperature wouldn't it?"

"Ah..."

Mok Jun-Seo stopped, dumbfounded. To him, Raith had finally gone mad.

'He is mad, he is very mad.'

He ran forward again.

"Hunter Raven, that is impossible!"

"Yes, hyungnim. If you can create a sun you'd practically be a god."

Raith paused after Min-Ho spoke, causing the feeble doctor to flinch, hoping he had not said something wrong.

'Am I a God now?'

Raith's pupils dilated as the revelation hit him.

[No, don't kid yourself. You are far from that]

"Tch"

He didn't ask for the abyss's opinion but he got it anyways. He was still human through and through but what human has two beating hearts?

Raith moved his head towards his right torso, feeling the second heart.

'I'm guessing this skill creation is because of the crystal of creation.'

[I hate to admit]

[I did not see it coming this way]

[But be careful. That thing can be a curse]

'Yea, when you say it like that I can't help but think you are just jealous I got another power source besides yours.'

[...]

'Yea, I thought so too.'

He scoffed and opened his status again.

'I can't see my true name. My level is too low to see my class.'

Raith clicked his tongue but he grinned. There were a lot of unknowns but the new attribute was more than enough source of joy for now.

'Now, let's create a new skill'

[Input skill name]

The blue tab appeared immediately Raith thought in that line.

'Oh oh, how about we go with copy Sunlight'

[Skill name COPY SUNLIGHT registered]

[Input skill description]

'As the name signifies, it will be a one-time use skill that copies the sunlight of earth and replicate it in where I want.'

[Description registered]

[Calculating fragment cost]

[Do you want to create skill 'COPY SUNLIGHT' for 1000 skill fragments]

'One thousand?!!'

Raith's brow furrowed. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Hence, he began a gamble.

This was the start of his destruction.

'Let's see. Delete skill instant move'

[Are you sure you want to permanently delete skill 'Instant Move']

Raith grimaced, remembering how this skill has been there for him since day one. It hurt a bit to let it go but he had to do what he had to do.

On the second hand, he just was enjoying this too much.

'Yes'

[Skill deleted]

[You have gained 2 skill fragments]

"Holy shit! Two? Just two?!!"

Raith was so shocked and vexed that he couldn't maintain his silence even though he wanted to. That moment made him forget two humans were keenly watching him from behind. Waiting for him to do his magic.

'Damn it!'

He cried inwardly.

'Let's see, perhaps I have to be more careful and study the way this works.'

He decided this time and carefully looked before he leaped.

Instant move is a rank B skill. So it was understandable that it gave only two skill fragments. What would happen if he was to destroy a rank C skill?

[You have deleted skill 'Air Leap']

[You have gained 1 skill fragment]

It was just as he expected.

Raith sighed and nodded, happy that things were going his just as he predicted.

'Then next, rank S'

Deleting a rank S skill was not easy. But what was there to worry about? He has an amazing new attribute.

[Do you want to delete skill MAGIC OPERATION?]

[Do you want to delete skill MAGIC PERCEPTION?]

[You have gained 10 skill fragments]

[You have gained 10 skill fragments]

[23/1000]

Raith frowned, this was getting ugly.

'Okay, let's shoot a bit higher. It's not like I have a large arsenal of skill, to begin with.'

'Abysmal Flames'

[Do you want to delete ABYSMAL FLAMES(SSS)?]

It didn't put the rank of the other ones. Raith suspected that this was a good sign and nodded.

'Alright let's do it'

[You have gained 50 skill fragments]

'Wow...'

It wasn't a hundred. He was expecting a hundred at the very least.

'Frostweaver'

[Frostweaver is an art, are you sure you want to delete it?]

"Holy shit! An art?!"
