Chapter 6 - The Shannara Chronicles —6

[—You have 4 Rolls.

—Would you like to Roll the Great Pool?]

Of course he immediately agreed, he had no time to waste.

[—Ding! Congratulations! You've drawn the number

- 44! — Holy Energy Orb[Item] - An orb containing vast amount of holy mana, this mana can be repurposed and drawn by anyone who has enough mana control for various types of uses. Do note though that the holy energy inside this orb isn't infinite and will need the user to channel their own mana inside it in order to regenerate more holy energy.]

He paused after seeing this, a thought popping up in his head.

' Weren't demons weak to holy energies?'

That had her pausing, after all this one item alone he would be able to create weapons which would be able to kill demons.

With this then he would also be able to arm those around him so that the burden of these things weren't just thrown at his shoulder alone, thus giving him time to do what he wanted in this world because he sure as hell wasn't gonna fucking waste his afterlife simply floating at everyone else's wave.

He looked inside his inventory and marvelled and the golden orb which was the size of a baseball that seemed to shimmer even in its time stasis inside his inventory.

He didn't get to marvel at it for too long though as he still had 3 more draws to get to.

So again he rolled the dice.

[Ding! Congratulations! You've drawn the number!

- 37 — Gourmets Knife[Perk] - You are a chef, No. You are thee chef. Through mastery of your art you have gained mastery over the art of cooking that allows you make the finest dishes in the world with the most vile of ingredients, not only that though; your food can inspire emotions and even grant those who eat it buff's for lack of better words, this can be a temporary increase in strength, speed or even magic.]

As soon as the perk was drawn he felt knowledge filtering through his brain, when it was all done and said he was now a professional chef.

The Chef amongst chefs.

He found that he suddenly gained knowledge on how to cook, give taste to the most vile of ingredients with simple spices into one of the most delicious meals one could ever eat.

He could also imbue his foods with magic but they'd need to be of some high quality ingredients or magical in nature.

Immediately he thought of the material be had taken from the trolls body.

He was sure that he had felt some semblance of magic in them, magic sense would have been a great thing to have had at this moment but the thought of eating something that used to be human irked him a bit.

He'd do it though if he was left with no other choice or just do it for experimental purposes.

He almost felt like opening his status here and there and see the changes but stopped himself.

He still had two more rolls left.

So once more he watched the dice spinning in his vision.

[Ding! Congratulations! You've drawn the number!

- 8— Siren's Voice[Trait] - Your voice is the most beautiful thing that has graced this world. Grants a boost in all actions related to voice such as Speaking, Leadership, Singing Etc.]

And just every roll he that changed him, he felt it this time even more profoundly.

It felt like his throat was rearranging itself and when he expected discomfort, instead he felt a sense of pleasure and peace.

But just as quickly as the feeling came it also disappeared just as quick which left him feeling a bit empty for moment leading to him groaning.

"Mmmmm~"

He didn't expect his groan to turn so silky and smooth while also adding a bit of base in it.

He was surprised for a moment before grinning.

With this he'd be able garner more reputation and even trust towards those he talked to.

So a literal charisma boost in the form of his voice.

He was a bit surprised though at his first trait that he got from the system.

He wondered if it would also transfer to his children if he ever had any, if so then his family would probably be one of the most influential people in the world with this trait alone.

But he wasn't done yet, even though what he got wasn't of immediate use to him as of yet, he'd have to find a situation where he could utilise them and see what potential they also had to boost his other boons.

So holding his breath he rolled the last roll he had and hoped that he would atleast get something that would help him.

[Ding! Congratulations! You've drawn the number!

- 83 — The Cup Of Dracula - A cup that had been covered in the blood of the first vampire Dracula, obtaining the power to grant those who drink from it the powers of a vampire, now though it has lost that power. The cup now has the power to grant certain traits from whomever blood is inside the cup to the drinker.(A SoulBound Item)]

Something surprising happened as soon as the item was rolled.

Instead of it being sent to his inventory as normally would have, instead he felt something latch inside him.

It felt almost euphoric when he felt what he thought was his soul vibrate in power.

Then he got instinctual understanding of what happened.

The cup had been bound to his very soul, this had its advantages with one being that anything bound to his soul could never be stolen from him, he could always recall it back to his soul at any moment.

It also meant that he could summon it to his arm at anytime and wouldn't have to always have it out of the open, though his inventory would have that problem mute already but he didn't mind.

The last and greatest advantage was that as his soul grew in strength and power, anything bound to it would also strengthen and thus gain more abilities and also that items bound to his soul if they were of enough power then they could nourish and strengthen his soul.

And the Cup Of Dracula was of course one of those items of power, it belonged to Dracula and had been drenched in his blood afterall.

He was a little pissy that he didn't get the original that would allow him to turn others into vampires or him for that matter.

But this had its obvious uses too, with enough traits he could build an army of his own.

Maybe he could rebuild the Shannara legacy and grant them his Magical Blood trait too.

There were so many possibilities and he was excited to see them all through.
