My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death

-----

While also acquiring the accumulated EXP from the Poison Attribute Monsters of Rank 4 Peak Stage defeated by Cathyl and everyone else, Frank had leveled up more than once.

Ding!

[Your level increased to Level 65!]

[Bonus App Points Earned]

[Bonus Skill Proficiency Earned]

[Your level increased to Level 66!]

[Bonus App Points Earned]

[Bonus Skill Proficiency Earned]

[You learned the [Fate Stealer: Level 1] Skill!]

[Fate Stealer: Level 1/10]

Your manipulation over Fate has reached a higher level, giving you the ability to steal the Fate of others, increasing your fortune while giving you clues about the future that could await them.

Additionally, you can manipulate the fate of those you steal it from, freeing them from whatever destiny restrained their future.

As the Skill level increases, so does the effects and efficacy.

…

Frank glanced at his new Skill rather intrigued, as he reached Level 65, he gained a new Skill related to the Job he had, which was the Abyssal Chaos and Divine Fate Guider.

Every Job would give Skills every five levels, so he was looking forward to the Skill he would get, but never expected it to sound this overpowered…

As he activated the Skill, he felt as if he could see the fate strands that connected people.

Anyone that was guided by him had their fate strands tightly connected to his own, sharing his fate.

But he could now try to steal the fate of others, which could also mean stealing whatever fortunes they had… This power could greatly help him in the battles to come.

After Dhuja's death, her almost burnt body was healed by Frank's Gift of Death, while he extracted her Poison Attribute Mana Core and ate it, alongside the other two Mana Cores inside her sliced off arms.

Ding!

[You have consumed large quantities of World's Source Energy]

[You are slowly achieving Upper Stage, but a bit more is needed]

[You gained +700 Mana, +600 Magic, and +400 Resistance!]

Something that rarely happened seemed to happen when Frank ate the Mana Cores of Dhuja, it seemed that they were of way higher quality than the Mana Cores he had been eating from the monsters of Orb's Dungeon, which barely gave him any World's Source while rarely giving him any stat boost.

But these three special Mana Cores seemed to give him a decent boost to his magic-related stats, which might have been related to them being tampered with by Dhuja using many magic runes, materials, and magic circles.

He began to wonder if he could get similar stat boosts from eating the Mana Cores of the Poison Attribute Monsters, but for now, he needed to assess other things.

Such as… why did Frank bother healing Dhuja's corpse?

"Ah… What is… this…? Eh? Oh?! Such… splendor! I never realized that you were such a glorious being, my lord!" said Dhuja, giving a complete shift in her personality as she emerged as a Dead Spirit (Soul) from the corpse a few seconds ago.

She was glaring at Frank with a rather sickening fascination, something he had not experienced before with Dead Spirits. Perhaps due to Dhuja's insane mind, when she turned into an Undead she simply went all out with it, or became loose… or maybe it was the Guidance of Frank that immediately guided her?

Whatever was the answer, Dhuja had now become an ally, and it only took for her to die! It was amazingly simple.

Frank made her visible through the Visualization Death Attribute Spell that could let ordinary people see Ghostly apparitions, specters, dead spirits, souls, and more.

And Gwendolyn glanced at it with a bit of surprise.

"Oh, she really became loyal all out of the sudden. Yeah, it is just as you said, it only takes them to die…" said Gwendolyn, as a woman who had participated in a large-scale war against another Kingdom years ago, she was no stranger to fighting and killing other people for her own survival, and was no stranger to corpses either, this was one of the reasons she got used to killing with Frank through these things, although while he slept, she had already slaughtered the entire Thief Guild with everyone else…

"Indeed… now Dhuja, go back to your body, I recovered it for you," said Frank.

"Ooooh! My lord, yes! Of course! Thank you so much for allowing me to redeem myself and serve you in the flesh~!" said Dhuja, jumping back into her corpse as the Zombie Lamia began to move slowly, her eyes turned crimson red as her pale-white skin seemed sickly, her scales turned dark-purple, and she suddenly grew a small black horn in her forehead.

It seems that Frank had unintentionally made a new Undead Race, as Dhuja was already given a Status and all. Her race was now named Apophis too, and she seemed to have gained a good amount of stats despite having died, although she was not as strong as she used to be, she could perhaps be comparable to a Rank 4 Initial Stage.

"How wonderful, I have even evolved! So this is the wonderfulness of becoming one of Master's servants?" said Dhuja happily.

Dhuja began to wave the tip of her tail as if she were a puppy or something, fascinated by Frank's very existence, although Frank seemed indifferent to her attitude.

After a few minutes, everyone gathered outside the manor while piling up all the corpses of the organization, not a single man was left alive, and Frank could clearly see all the Dead Spirits floating around him from all these bandits, some asked for mercy, others for salvation, and some others simply wanted to serve him.

Cathyl carried the large corpses of the Poison Attribute Rank 4 Peak Stage Monsters, as he decided to save the corpses for now as they could be better off as materials than Undead soldiers and then glared at the ten purple Rank 4 Peak Stage Mana Cores.

In Orb's Dungeon, the Rank 4 Monsters were only Initial Stage.

Due to this, these Mana Cores were of way higher value than they seemed original.

However, Frank considered that he could use them in Gwendolyn or everyone else so they could increase their Ranks… all of them were Peak Stage, so if they were to consume a few, they could also reach Rank 5.

Frank needed to choose between consuming the Mana Cores or sharing them with those he cared for… And because he didn't want to be selfish with the only people he cared for, he shared them.

"Eh? Are you sure?" asked Cathyl.

"But you could use them better…" said Hilvera.

"Are you sure, aniki?" asked Asterion.

"Yeah. Go ahead," said Frank.

Frank ended sharing the Mana Cores with everyone except Gwendolyn herself, who rejected them as she said that she was about to reach Rank 5 through the residual energy of her child and also from the nourishment she gained through "Dual Cultivation" anyways.

So, everyone took one or two Mana Cores depending on how much they needed, and by using a few additional Rank 4… suddenly everyone reached Rank 5.

"I suppose this night was more bountiful than I originally expected," said Frank, noticing the powerful Mana Auras of his beloved ones, who had become Rank 5 Magus in less than a year from being mere Rank 1.

"We'll make sure to use this power to help you out as much as we can, brother," said Kamei, filled with resolve, as her entire body exuded an aura of golden brilliance.
