Last Wish System

Chapter 3: Yale’s Innate Talents

Once the Innate Talent Menu opened, Yale saw in the first line the words [Last Wish System] without any description more than [Special Innate Talent].

Of course, the Last Wish System counts as Yale’s Innate Talent, he already predicted it, that was the only explanation for the system’s existence, the system was a special type of Innate Talent.

Special Innate Talents could be the worst or the best, any Innate Talent which had any functionality other than directly making practice easier was considered a special type. Thus some were very useful while others were trash, but the good thing about any special Innate Talents is that unless one reveals them, no one will be able to know about the existence of the Special Innate Talent.

Under that, there was only one more line [Magic Latent Talent: Lowest grade] with a simple description [The lowest kind of talent to practice magic].

Seeing that, Yale sighed. It was still possible for him to practice magic, but his talent was the worst for practicing it. However, as he was still young, he tried to be optimistic about it, thinking about how he could improve it.

The only sad thing is that he didn’t have any elemental affinity, with an elemental affinity, practicing elemental magic would become easier.

“The system can show information about how to improve an Innate Talent; would you like to update the Innate Talent Menu?”

Yale immediately accepted on his mind, pondering why the system hasn’t shown it since the start.

A new line appeared below the description:

“Upgrade: Complete the related Quest to upgrade to Low grade.”

Yale inwardly sighed.

“That should be related to the other main function, that Quest Menu, I wonder how it works.”

The system improved the auxiliary function as he needed, that flexibility was something Yale liked.

It seemed that as long as the information was in the database, it was possible to add it to an auxiliary function to make it easier to review the information; then he tried to ask other information to see if it’s added to the Innate Talent Menu.

“How many grades had the Innate Talents?”

Yale knew it, he read it in books, but he wanted to test the system.

“The grades of Innate Talents from lowest to highest are lowest, low, mid-low, mid, mid-high, high and perfect.”

As the system replied, Yale was more sure he was on the correct way of understanding how the system works. Now that information appeared in a sidebar of the Innate Talent Menu.

Yale smiled as he proceeded with the tutorial without saying anything more, he was curious about that Quest Menu. As Yale didn’t ask any more questions and stopped paying attention to the Innate Talents, the system showed the next part of the tutorial.

“This is the Quest Menu; the user will obtain quests related to him and given proper rewards for completing them. The user needs to finish the quest manually, once the requirements for completion were met to obtain the rewards. Right now, the user has two active quests and one completed quest.”

Yale didn’t understand how he could have completed any quest but paid attention to the Quest Menu, all the Quests he had were under the tag [Skill Quest]. The first one was called [Magical Talent upgrade: Low] and was the one Yale have completed without knowing.

Yale then saw the already completed requirements for the quest, as he saw them, he understood why he had already met the requirements without doing anything.

“Obtain 6 points in Intelligence, Wisdom, and Dexterity.”

Yale already has ten points in Intelligence and Wisdom, Dexterity was lower, only at seven points, but it still surpassed the minimum required for the quest. Yale only thought about finishing the quest, and the quest ended, rewarding him.

Yale’s [Magic Latent Talent: Lowest grade] became [Magic Latent Talent: Low grade]. There was no doubt about that; Yale revised the Innate Talent Menu to confirm it. He never thought that upgrading an Innate Talent would be that easy, even with his age it should be significantly more difficult than that.

Yale realized that the Quest Menu’s nature was completely different to the other functions, the others gave him information, which was extracted from his body and soul or from the knowledge he recollected.

However, the Quest Menu improved himself, this information was very good, Yale was already satisfied with that, but the Quest Menu made his Magic Talent immediately increase.

“Could it be that the legacy included methods to improve the latent talent quickly? But those were lost since the ancient era, I never cared about my past life, but now I’m truly becoming curious about who I was.”

Yale went back to the Quest Menu, the conditions to improve his [Magic Latent Talent: Low grade] was still the same as for improving the Lowest grade.

There was a new quest available, [Magical talent upgrade: Mid-low], and this new quest already met the requirements for being finished.

“Obtain 7 points in Intelligence, Wisdom, and Dexterity.”

Yale was shocked as he saw almost the same condition as the previous Quest, it only required one more point than the previous one.

“If this is a pattern, that would mean I can get a High-grade talent with ten points?”

Yale was speaking to himself in his mind, but the system didn’t reply to him, then he finished the quest, and as he checked the Innate Talent Menu, he saw the words [Magic Latent Talent: Low grade], the upgrade condition remained the same.

Yale changed to again the Quest Menu, and another quest was available under the Skill Quest tag, as expected, it was [Magical talent upgrade: Mid], but it wasn’t ready for completion like the other two, but the requirements followed Yale’s guesses.

“Obtain 8 points in Intelligence, Wisdom, and Dexterity.”

Yale was still missing one point in Dexterity so he couldn’t complete the quest, but he had a broad smile on his face as he confirmed his thoughts. Furthermore, with a mid-low grade talent now, he would be considered below average, but not too bad, there were very few people with low talents who reached the Rank 1 Novice Magus, but with mid-low, there were a lot more.

A lot of people with the lowest or low Magical Talent chose to become archers, they would train until becoming rank 1 Novice Warriors, and after that, they slowly train their mind until they become a 2-star mortal erudite. With their talent, they will never have a chance to become a Rank 1 Novice Magus, but their Dexterity would be much higher, and it was an important aspect to all archers.

Yale read some books speaking of a lost way to train the path of archery which was a lot better than the present’s limited mixing.

The archers were extremely popular in ancient times, their effectiveness in battle was a lot higher than normal warriors, and they were able to use simple spells, mostly to reinforce arrows or enhance movement.

Thus, even having less endurance than the warriors and less magic power than the magus, they were more balanced overall, sadly the training methods were lost, and the archers ended their golden age.

Yale ended his thoughts and now focused on the second quest, that was [Elemental affinity], and its requirements were quite simple, or at least simple for Yale.

“Obtain Magical Talent: Mid grade.”

Yale was still having only a mid-low grade talent, but he only needed one more point in Dexterity to advance to mid-grade, and thus also complete this quest. But the reward left Yale without words.

“Reward: Elemental affinity (Perfect grade).”

Even without knowing what kind of elemental affinity it was, only by being a perfect grade one it was enough to change someone’s destiny, any magic related to that element would become extremely easy to practice.

Before, Yale hoped to have some elemental affinity, but he wasn’t thinking of a perfect grade one. At that moment, he would have been very happy with a mid-grade one.

And that reward also increased the curiosity of Yale for his previous life, and regretted his lack of consistent memories; the Last Wish System was a Special Innate Talent which can add and improve other innate talents, that’s heaven-defying.

There was only one more quest, and the name quickly picked the interest of Yale, [System special function: Storage], its definition was somewhat different to the previous one, but the words used were still only a few.

“Complete the first Main Chain Quest.”

“Reward: The system will add [Storage Space] for the user to put physical objects inside.”

Yale’s eyes became even more opened, storage space was a function usually found only in items, and not the cheap ones, being able to store physical things in a separated space without any item is something only very powerful experts who understand the laws of the space could do.

Yale immediately said in his mind [Start the Main Chain Quest], based on the previous system reactions that should have activated the Main Chain Quest, but the system’s answer wasn’t what Yale expected.

“The user didn’t meet the requirements to start the Main Chain Quest; it will start automatically when the conditions become fulfilled.”

In Yale’s mind, the condition appeared as he wanted to know. There was a new tag before the Skill Quest tag, the words there were [Main Chain Quest], and under them a short text explaining the conditions to unlock it.

” Complete 3 Skill Quests to unlock.”
