Chapter 46
—
Akare does not have any proper means of transportation.
While carriages exist, the size of the Empire is comparable to the United States in reality.
Simply walking or traveling by carriage inevitably had its limits.
Thus, “Record Points” were placed throughout the map.
These were a type of teleportation device, implemented for user convenience.
Once a Record Point was activated, players could teleport to the activated point from anywhere.
Of course, there were restrictions between regions, so it wasn’t possible to travel to a Record Point in another region.
For example, you wouldn’t be able to move from the newly released area, Elderheim, to the Empire.
Anyway, many players began actively using these Record Points to explore the map after the showcase.
They sought the “Records of Realization,” which could be used to acquire or enhance skills as post-Second Awakening content.

―――
I found the Martial Artist’s realization spot, lol [76]
The Tower of Magic was such a jackpot, you bastards [32]
I prayed 100 times and got realization [50]
Are the realization options random? [21]
Where the hell is the Martial Artist’s spot? [23]
―――
There weren’t many restrictions on how to acquire the Records of Realization.
Aside from the structures, locations, and NPCs mentioned in Aurora’s example,
it could also be obtained through specific interactions, consuming rare delicacies, or drinking elixirs.
There were truly various ways to obtain the Records of Realization.
―――
[Title] I’ll summarize the realization options for you
[Option 1] [Option 2] [Option 3]
When you obtain realization, three options appear.
Among these, options 1 and 2 are always “Skill Enhancement,”
while option 3 is always “New Skill.”
You can reroll each option once, and
these options change randomly each time realization is obtained.
After obtaining the first realization, the skill tree will display the list of locked skills,
so you might want to check it out.
Skill enhancement can be upgraded up to three times, and
judging by the total number of realizations you can obtain, it seems like full enhancement will eventually be possible.

[Comments 467]
Can someone tell me the basic tree for Mages?
ㄴ Chain Lightning << Super OP
ㄴ1. Go to the Tower of Magic
ㄴ2. Pray that Chain Lightning appears for you
ㄴ3. If you level it up, you can become a ranker easily
ㄴ Also, always pick the Mage’s passive skill circle if it appears.
―――
The Records of Realization.
This feature was inspired by the knowledge I received from the Status Window.
I thought it would be boring if players could simply enhance skills or obtain new ones.
So, I added a random element to stimulate dopamine release.
[Judgment Mace Lv.1] [Radiant Light Lv.1] [NEW! Holy Barrier]
“…”
I blankly stared at the options in front of me.
Even though I used a reroll, the options didn’t change.
To be exact, the same options were selected again at an incredibly low probability.
“Sigh…”
After handling heavy tasks like global service and the second-half roadmap showcase,
I had been playing Akare non-stop.
As a result, I achieved Second Awakening as an Inquisitor and obtained my first monumental realization.
But the options slapped me with such ridiculous bad luck that it hurt my feelings.
“It’s okay. It’s only the first one…”
For Priest-based classes, enhancing basic skills like Blessing and Heal was crucial.
And given the Inquisitor’s nature, offensive skills were more necessary than utility skills meant for party play.
“I won’t give up.”
The reason I became an Inquisitor, skipping the Priest and Paladin routes,
was to reform all heretics who worshipped the Director.
Of course, my resolve was almost broken during the Second Awakening cutscene,
but I haven’t given up yet. Nor will I in the future.
“Still, Holy Barrier seems like the best choice.”
The weapon of the Inquisitor was a mace.
So, Judgment Mace only slightly upgraded the weapon and wasn’t very useful.
Radiant Light was outright terrible.
It inflicted blindness on enemies with a certain probability, but it wasn’t impactful.
The blindness duration was short, and the damage was mediocre.
Therefore, Holy Barrier was the better choice.
“Has anything else been discovered?”
From the omniscient Director’s perspective, I knew all the ways to acquire the Records of Realization.
But now, as an ordinary player named Fera, I couldn’t recklessly use the knowledge of my second persona.
Using it in the past had earned me nicknames like “Rice-farming Saintess” and “Hacker.”
I’m just a normal Inquisitor named Fera.
I am not Aurora, the Director of Akare.
“But how did they figure out praying 100 times?”
The fact that someone discovered praying 100 times meant they had actually done it.
It was a Record of Realization I thought would be discovered last.
“Surely not.”
I used the Creator’s Authority to check the profession of the first person who attempted praying 100 times.
Seeing the three letters “Cultist,” I felt dizzy and shut my eyes tightly.
“…The next thing discovered was viewing the Goddess Statue.”
Not the statue based on the Goddess, an Object of Destruction,
but the new Goddess Statue introduced in the Saintess’s revised doctrine.
A Goddess that exists in everyone’s heart.
Apparently, the new statue was modeled after this Goddess.
Honestly, I didn’t see much difference.
Maybe it was because they looked so similar.
Anyway, when I moved to the Church and saw the new Goddess Statue,
a system message appeared.
[You have discovered a Record of Realization.]
[Radiant Light Lv.1] [Judgment Mace Lv.1] [NEW! Purification]
“Is this a bug?”
Once again, Radiant Light and Judgment Mace appeared.
Not even an offensive skill.
What’s going on? Is the probability broken?
Currently, I have a total of seven skills.
The basic skills Blessing and Heal.
The passive skill Faith.
First Awakening skills Judgment Mace and Radiant Light.
Second Awakening skills Heretic Identification and Light’s Discipline.
The best ones are Blessing and Heal.
Next are Heretic Identification and Light’s Discipline.
The worst are the First Awakening skills.
Since passive Priest skills can’t be enhanced, they are excluded.
“Purification is a good skill.”
It wasn’t the offensive skill I was hoping for, though.
But it felt too valuable to discard.
“Let’s just try a reroll.”
[Holy Barrier Lv.1]
“Ah.”
Right, there was Holy Barrier too.
But that’s fine. There’s still one more chance.
I rerolled the second option.
[Radiant Light Lv.1]
“…”
Can this even happen?
It’s not like I was asking for much.
Since everything was ruined anyway, I rerolled Purification too.
[NEW! High Blessing]
It was the upgraded version of Blessing, High Blessing (cannot be used on oneself).
What the hell.

[Sweet’s stream has started. – Akashic Records, 6 hours ago]
[Sweet’s stream title: Chain Lightning Lv.3 Owner]
Currently, there were five Records of Realization that could be obtained at the Tower of Magic.
This meant there were five chances in total.
Sweet achieved the incredible feat of leveling up Chain Lightning to Lv.3, defying the odds.
If someone enduring ridiculous bad luck were watching, it would’ve been a scene to make them furious.
Regardless, Chain Lightning was an incredibly versatile skill.
It caused shock, restraint, and stun—three types of crowd control effects.
Among these, shock and restraint triggered upon hit, guaranteed.
Stun had a lower probability of activation, but shock and restraint alone provided sufficient CC.
Even the damage potential was exceptionally high, making it a truly all-purpose skill.
“Wow, guys, I can even control this skill freely.”
After the Second Awakening, which allowed players to sense and manipulate mana,
it became possible to perform more intricate skill control.
But no magic allowed complete directional adjustment like Chain Lightning did.
―――
Double casting possible?
Is this what it means to be a Mage?
Awesome.
Let’s try hunting grounds.
―――
Sweet, keeping an eye on the chat, attempted double casting.
“Phew… This mana consumption is insane.”
All his mana was drained in less than ten seconds, and the spell was canceled.
“You want to go to the hunting grounds? Sure.”
Sweet opened the minimap and teleported to the Record Point in The Gorge of Wyverns.
Wyverns and Drakes.
Monsters that were difficult to handle without a party.
But that was only true for those who hadn’t reached the Second Awakening.
On top of that, Sweet wasn’t just any ordinary Second Awakening Mage;
he was a Mage with Chain Lightning Lv.3.
“Should I try it on the Drake and Wyvern up ahead?”
Wyverns were agile, while Drakes were tough.
Even a Mage who had completed the Second Awakening
needed to go through a full skill cycle to take them down.
“Howl, Chain Lightning!”
The incantation was ridiculously cringeworthy,
because Sweet lost a bet with his viewers.
Thunk—Thunk—
But the skill’s effect was anything but cringeworthy.
“Nice, one-shot kill.”
The chains of electricity pierced the Wyvern’s heart,
shattering the Drake’s scales, harder than steel.
It was the very definition of “effortless gain.”
Of course, the mana consumption was enormous, like a hippo drinking water.
He had to use mana potions regularly.
But the return was more than worth the risk.
“Anyone watching the stream who’s a Second Awakening Hunter?”
―――
ㅇㅇ
That’s me.
Creating a Hunter character now.
Second Awakening Hunter standing by (Lv.10).
Why a Hunter?
―――
One of the Second Awakening skills for Hunters was called “Marking Prey.”
This skill marked the positions of nearby monsters and applied the effect to the whole party,
making hunting much more convenient.
This was especially useful in areas like The Gorge of Wyverns,
where Wyverns flew around and Drakes hid in rocky crevices.
Having a Second Awakening Hunter in the party
made a significant difference in hunting efficiency.
“Really, no one? No Second Awakening Hunters in this stream? That’s just…
“Sweet, your requested Second Awakening Hunter has arrived.”
While Sweet was lamenting, a viewer who was a Second Awakening Hunter showed up.
“I knew you’d come.”
“Yes. You just need me to use Marking Prey, right?”
“Perfect! Sending you a party invite now.”
After accepting the party invite, the Hunter immediately activated Marking Prey.
“Wow, I can see everything. Feels like using an ESP hack.”
The positions of nearby monsters were displayed as red dots.
“Huh? They’re all concentrated in one spot.”
A particular area had an unusually high concentration of red dots.
Sometimes, monsters would gather in groups.
Without much thought, Sweet grabbed a mana potion and focused.
“Howl, Chain Lightning!”
As the incantation was cast, there was one notable difference.
The number of magic circles for Chain Lightning had increased to two.
As a result, a total of 14 chains of electricity spread out in all directions.
At Chain Lightning Lv.3, each magic circle released seven chains of electricity.
Since a single chain could kill a monster in The Gorge of Wyverns,
14 chains meant 14 monsters could be killed simultaneously.
“Wow.”
The Hunter beside him gasped in admiration.
Watching the red dots vanish in real-time,
they couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer power.
“Phew… This is intense.”
Even though Sweet consumed mana potions mid-cast to deal with the mana depletion,
it wasn’t enough.
“Missed one.”
“You caught that? Great eye.”
In reality, Sweet’s Chain Lightning failed to penetrate the scales of the furthest Drake.
Using a mana potion mid-cast disrupted his concentration,
and the further the chains extended, the weaker they became.
“If we add the Cultist and Priest buffs, it’ll be god-tier hunting.”
“Oh? True.”
The buffs from Cultists and Priests’ Blessing could stack.
“We can call Suzuka for the Cultist buff…”
But where could they find another Priest?
As Sweet pondered this,
“Excuse me.”
a woman, seemingly a Priest, appeared before Sweet and the Hunter.
“Did you just kill the mobs I lured?”
Black hair, red eyes, and a vaguely familiar face.
She held a bloodstained mace, and she looked furious.
“Uh, well…”
Before Sweet could say “I’m sorry,”
he realized who she was.
“…The Rice-Farming Saintess?”
His hands started trembling.
The Rice-Farming Saintess, no—Fera—
shook with rage at the nickname Sweet had uttered unconsciously.
