Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Stage Two.

[Ace POV],

[All Specie on Planet Spe has passed stage one and have been initiated to the Primordial Chronicle but even among the strong there are weak ones],

[Will you be able to contend even against the others who experienced the same as you or will you surrender and lose to them and lose the path to evolution? Or will you do neither and aim to stay ordinary?],

[No matter the choice, Only time will tell],

...….

[Stage Two: Inheritance],

[Times passed and the only thing that survived the ages are the inheritance passed downed by any specie ancestors],

[Maybe perhaps the dreams, myths, and stories of the ages are true?],

[Different from stage one, stage two doesn't have any time related to it and is only a step],

[Good luck and survive against others like you who have experienced it],

...….

Huh?

That was rather informative I suppose.

To put it simply, the first texts mentioned in the primordial chronicle were perplexing to say the least. It could even be written off as rubbish but I knew it couldn't be like this.

There must be a hidden message here that I am not seeing, or perhaps I am thinking too much and the texts here were just placed there arbitrarily, but I am more inclined to believe the former and that there is a message here that I am not seeing.

The only thing that might even count as a clue here was the section of the primordial chronicle that indicated we'd be able to compete against people who'd experienced what we were experiencing.

I noticed that it said against those who have 'experienced' the same thing rather than those who are 'experiencing' it.

There are many contradictions in this, but the problem is that I can't seem to find the "key" here.

Perhaps I'm overthinking things, but I feel am on the right track here.

Because of these texts text, several questions appeared in my mind.

The first is who are we contending against in the first place? Is it directed against monsters or at fellow humans? The primordial chronicle also claimed, 'even against others.' Does this imply that we're not up against monsters or humans?

Or is it possible that the 'others; the primordial chronicle' refers to other species?

As these thoughts passed through my mind, additional ridiculous ones appeared.

After seeing this, I decided not to think about it again because I wouldn't know anything about it even if I thought about it all day.

The goal now is to evolve and grow stronger. Whatever comes my way, I know I will be able to overcome it with enough strength.

As I considered this, I focused on stage two content.

In contrast to stage one, which was immediately understood and straightforward from its name, everything relating to stage two was unclear and a little puzzling.

Inheritance?

This can mean a lot of things. And when the primordial chronicle referred to the dreams, stories, and myths of the ages, is it directly referring to those folklore and fantasy stories?

And what does "if they were real" mean?

This seems to be stage two in its truest form, in my opinion.

But with the powers that the primordial chronicle demonstrated, I have a suspicion that it might make the myths and stories that we were told as children when were young a reality.

If this occurs, we may be able to see Greek gods such as Zeus and others.

Furthermore, it appears that stage two does not include anything related to time, such as time limits, and if I am not mistaken, this stage is more like a notification being sent down, as opposed to stage one, which appeared to be a test.

This was welcomed news.

When I read the part where the primordial chronicle told us to survive against others who had experienced what we were experiencing again, I knew my hunch was either true or close to it.

Well, we'll find out what the primordial chronicle means in due time, so I should just focus on my job quest and see how things play out.

'But first, I need to wash this stench off my body,' I thought as my body became increasingly uncomfortable.

I looked about as I was thinking about this.

'Since we're in a forest, there should be a water source nearby, right?'

I asked Anna to send several clones out to scout as soon as this thought occurred to me.

One should scout the region we were in, another should look for places to camp as we couldn't settle in the forest because it was an open space, and the other should look for a water source.

After giving these instructions, we proceeded to another location.

The area where I fought the rank 1 fire eagle was covered in blood in several places, and the noise we created may have piqued the interest of some monsters, who may now be coming there.

Though we could handle creatures similar to the rank 1 fire eagle, it would be a different situation if we came across one that was significantly stronger.

If it happens, it's game over for us.

As I was thinking about these things, I took off my blood-splattered shirt and set it ablaze.

It staying on my body like a tracker for beasts with sensitive noses.

Though this left me partly naked, I didn't mind since if I found a water source to wash myself in, I had clothes in my storage ring to change into.

As I walked forward, I realized I still hadn't submitted my quest, so I decided to do so now before I become distracted by something else and forget.

But before I could call out the primordial chronicle in my head, a familiar-looking panel with a few texts written on it appeared in front of me again.

'The Primordial Chronicle appears to be very busy today.'
