After letting his fantasies run wild, he calmed himself down and got down to the last item on the list, apart from the heavenly credits he had already tried. That message just told him he was broke.
[Talents: (F-Rank Upgradable) Blood of the Overlord]
Selecting the talents page, he facepalmed as he realized that if he had read this before, he wouldn't have gotten into such a big mess earlier.
As he clicked on it, instead of opening up a new window that slightly covered his status screen like had happened previously, the whole page changed.
[Talent: Blood of the Overlord]
[Activation: Age 18 (21 days ago)]
[Rank: F-Rank (Upgradable)]
[Abilities: Aura of the Overlord, Overlord's Conversion]
[Curse: Primal Evolution]
Seeing a new page pop up, Ryan thought that meant that he could open new pages, and after he tried, he knew he was right as a mini window appeared.
[Abilities]
[1. Aura of the Overlord (Passive)]
[You exude the aura of an overlord, affecting people's willpower and control over their thoughts]
pAnD a(-)n0ve1.com [Note: As this ability levels up, more things will be affected and your control will increase]
[2. Overlord's Conversion (Active)]
[Activate to convert a cursed member of a race into one of your eternal subordinates]
[Uses: 3/3]
[Note: Converting a cursed member of a race removes their curse and turns them into a regular form of their race]
While the two abilities sounded alright, he was rather let down. His harem master characteristic felt like it was much better than this overlord one, and this was meant to have received the "all-mighty heavens" blessing.
"Although this does have an upgradable tag on it. I wonder if I could get more abilities later?" If so, it would make this possible to be way better than the harem master characteristic.
Unfortunately for Ryan, however, he wasn't destined to find out now, as he wasn't able to select any other page for further clarification except for the last.
The title curse didn't provoke optimism in Ryan's heart, but it was still better to know than not to know.
[Curse: Primal Evolution]
[In times of great emotion, you will feel your thinking is instinctive rather than calculated. Your mind will turn into that of a beast only acting on its primal nature]
[Evolution Stage: N/A]
[Note(1): With great power comes great responsibility. As a chosen member of the human race, you must overcome your primitive thoughts and actions and evolve]
[Note(2): See Quests tab for further details]
Looking at the message, Ryan had mixed feelings.
On the one hand, he was happy he wasn't going insane.
He had been worried that he was losing it and becoming some kind of beast.
He had been unable to control his actions and worried that if this progressed, he might do something he would later regret.
Turns out he was just cursed! Hooray!
Ryan finally turned his attention to the thing he had come here in the first place to look at, his quest.
[Overlord's Path]
[Summary: You have earned a power few possess but many yearn for. Your remarkable prowess before your age ceremony allows you to embark on the path of an Overlord. Being an Overlord means overpowering all others and then pushing higher. It means breaking the things that need to be broken, no matter what they might be or who stands in your way. Will you defy the odds and stand atop the masses? Or will history remember you as someone who could have been?]
[To embark on this journey, please select one of the following specialties which will define your future:]
[(C-Rank) [Sword Overlord]
[(B-Rank) [Magic Overlord]
[(D-Rank) [Body Overlord]
[(SSS-Rank) [Harem Overlord] (Unique)]
"I am power! I am retribution! Ravier, prepare to feel my wrath!" Ryan was so excited after seeing the SSS-Rank on the specialty he would have picked regardless he inadvertently activated his curse and screamed out his raw emotions.
After calming down, Ryan still wore a goofy grin on his face as he inspected his soon-to-be specialty.
