Apocalypse Online: Regression of SSS-Class Summoner

Chapter 122: Major Deviation

Radiant Mana was an authority-infused mana unique to his legacy.

It was a light mana transformed by the Radiant Authority Seed.

Unlike Divine Mana, it doesn’t come from a deity, it was born from the legacy itself.

The Radiant Authority Seed continuously refined absorbed Light Mana and even Divine Mana into Radiant Mana.

Radiant Mana significantly improved the efficiency of his authority skills, reduces the maintenance cost of contracted Radiant Knights, and enhanced legion-wide synchronization—a perfect affinity to his Radiant Conclave’s skills.

His Radiant Knights’ primary mana was Radiant Mana as well, but they could only convert the light mana and divine mana to the Radiant Mana.

They also possessed different secondary manas, which could be converted from the Radiant Mana.

It explained why Max could benefit from holy environments or divine relics without becoming a priest.

Earlier, he thought he needed a training ground for him.

But he had forgotten he was not a mage anymore.

If he wanted to increase and solidify his foundation in his Radiant Mana, he could do it in the meditation benches.

If he wanted to increase his proficiency skills, he could train along with his warriors in the training courtyard.

If he wanted to fight like a summoner do, he could study tactical manuals in the library.

He didn’t need a specific training ground for him.

He was not a mere mage anymore.

I’m a Radiant Conjuror. A future Radiant Conclave.

I’m not just a mere mage anymore.

A radiant smile formed across his face.

Max appeared stress free now. He enjoyed his time in the balcony and finally decided to let his character take a rest first.

He didn’t plan on commencing an isolation training with his radiant knights yet.

He had to settle his matters tomorrow first.

As his character rested in the master bedroom, he logged out of the game.

...

It was now 10am in the morning and Max didn’t plan on training in the terrace.

Instead, he relaxed by scrolling in the social media.

He simply smiled and lingered longer when he read the news about him gaining three successive global achievements at once.

He had already became the hottest topic that perhaps even in a remote village, the villagers would know about his name and his achievements.

Even so, he still has many haters and critiques-wanna-be attacking him, but he didn’t mind.

He believed that an individual became successful once he amassed haters.

After amusing himself by them, as far as reading a long wall of texts that was filled with nothing but assumption on how he obtained his achievements, another topic caught his attention, causing his eyebrows to furrow.

This is definitely the result of making a major deviation from the timeline in my past.

In a month, there were already three individuals who reached C-rank.

It was definitely quite faster than his past life.

Max shook his head and chuckled. He was already aware that his disturbance could definitely deviate the sequence of events that he remembered in his past life.

The moment I got accepted as a disciple of Archmage Arlen is the moment I already changed the entire course of events henceforth.

Max’s only worried was a grand scale deviation that would occur in the game and in real life.

Like lessening the fated day of apocalypse descent to a year or two...

He definitely must prevent it.

After contemplating deeply, he sighed.

It was difficult for him to stop the possible grand scale deviation anymore.

The future was already uncertain. Perhaps, the first world event would remain the same, but the next world event would be different.

Every year in real world’s time, apocalypse online would have a world event.

After that was a provincial quest that players in the same province could participate.

While the local quest—ranging from village, town, and city level—would remain to be active and often dissipate if there were unexpected intervention.

Now that Max had already knocked down the smallest domino, causing a chain reaction, falling down even a large domino that Max had expected, the biggest domino would fall one day.

But he must delayed it as much as possible, so that the momentum couldn’t possibly reach the highest before the apocalypse descended.

The Empire’s storyline had already began the moment the players appeared. If Max intervened to a great extent, that wouldn’t bode well to him.

Max pondered for a while and kept his realization to his mind. He must not neglect what had occurred anymore.

He wasn’t sure if it was a good thing or bad thing that Spencer Lewis and two other reached C-rank early, but one thing was for sure...

He must keep track of what was happening.

He must not be ignorant, lest he’d fall due to his carelessness.

Hence, for the next few hours, Max read the latest events surrounding Apocalypse Online.

To his surprise, he learned that Jaden Norris proudly announced he completed a local quest in the Greyfen Village alongside Julian Lewis and surprisingly Rhayne Sterling.

Max was completely shocked.

As far as he remembered, in his past life, once a village’s local quest was completed, it was rare for it to manifest another local quest.

Perhaps, once in every year would it only issue a local quest.

Yet it has only been a month or more that he completed the local quest in the Greyfen Village based on the game world’s time.

Max immediately clicked the video, where Jaden narrated the event of completing the local quest.

When he finished watching, Max fell into deep thought.

It turned out that after the Great Demon’s appearance, the Greyfen Village immediately entered a state of lockdown for weeks.

Lieutenant Garrick refused to allow even a single soul to leave the village, causing the villagers to live in constant fear.

The player could hardly earn EXP points as a result—the origin of their hate towards Max.

However, Jaden, Julian, and Rhayne continued to work hard until Lieutenant Garrick noticed them.

He issued a mission solely to confirm if the Great Demon had fully vanished by venturing from the village to the watchtower...
