Chapter 180: Changes to the world


    The Vampire King waved his hand, and a guard silently appeared next to Adam and King yer. The king said "Two challengers have appeared, and wish to take on the Blood Tower. Begin the preparations for the festivities."


    The guard nodded and disappeared. Adam was looking at King yer with a curious face too, as he wondered why the king talked about the festivities.


    King yer didn''t have to answer as the king said "The Blood Tower is a holy relic of our race, and every challenge to the Blood Tower has to be preceded by a full day of celebration. As such, you will have to wait for a day. Tomorrow morning, the celebration will start when you enter the tower, and end when you leave."


    "Until tomorrow, you are free to visit our great city, or do whatever you want." King yer and Adam nodded before they turned around and walked to the exit.


    Once out of the castle, Adam said "I will go to an inn and disconnect. What about you?" King yer replied "I have something to do here, so I will stay connected."


    Adam nodded, and headed toward a nearby inn with Neith. As he entered, he told Neith he would onlye back the next morning, so she was free to do whatever she wanted to do until then. She was clearly happy and walked off, shaking the ground with her every step.


    Back in the real world, Adam began training, and he also decided to sleep before reconnecting as he wanted to be in his best shape for his fight in the tower.


    Adam also made a few researches in the real world, and found that the fact skills from the game could be used in real life. This led to a massive increase in the number of yers worldwide.


    Not only this, people also started to discover Qi, but for some reason this subject was far less talked about, and wasn''t popr at all. Most peoplemented to those who talked about Qi they were trolls.


    At first, Adam was a little confused at why people wouldn''t know about Qi if they were able to use skills, but then he remembered that actually feeling Qi wasn''t easy. For him, he had opened the Third Gate when he perfectly mastered his first skill and as such he had perfect control over his internal energy and understood he had Qi in his body right away.


    However, for other people, even if they perfectly mastered a skill and used it in real life, they didn''t necessarily need to feel Qi, as long as their body understood how it worked.


    Instead of learning by heart the pathway of Qi, which needed some talent to aplish, all they had to do was to repeat the same skill thousands and thousands of times to force their body to learn how to activate the skill without even the brain''s help.


    This was good for low ranked skills, but this would severely limit them in the future when they tried to use higher ranked skills.


    Something else that Adam noticed was the steep rise of crime rate in the entire world. Now that some people had ess to super powers, they couldn''t resist and startedmitting crimes.


    There was a video that had gone viral of a man shooting a fireball at a vault in a bank and robbing everything inside. Another showed some shing a car in two with their sword.


    This led the different government to start creating special units for people with powers from the game, but the project had just been initiated and wasn''t ready to go. So for now, more and more people were using their powers to do evil.


    Interestingly, there were also many that tried to fulfill their childhood dreams and became heroes who fought against the people using their power for evil, but most of the fights between ''heroes'' and ''viins'' ended causing huge damage to their surroundings, and even kill nearby innocents.


    Some heroes understood their mistakes and either stopped or became even more powerful, but there were also some that didn''t care and proimed that sacrifices had to be made


    All in all, Epoch was bringing huge changes to the world, and if humans weren''t capable of coping with them then humanity very well might kill itself before Earth even merged with Epoch.


    After all, if they really killed themselves, by, for example, starting a nuclear war worldwide, then this would count as the natural cycle of things since they killed themselves, and Sofia wouldn''t help them.


    Unfortunately, until Adam could be powerful enough to suppress all of humanity by himself, he couldn''t do anything about the infighting, and he had to believe in humanity to get past this hurdle.


    On a lighter note, with the sharp increase of new yers, some stats appeared about the sses yed, and the poprity of each ss was associated with the power they could bring in the real world, instead of the power in game.


    As it turned out, the least popr ss was the Summoner ss, because it almost couldn''t be used in the real world. In the game the Summoner ss was one of the most powerful because a good summoner could literally be a one man army.


    But the problem was, to summon monsters one had to make contracts with them, and teleport them to oneself. But for some reason, none of the summoners were able to bring their summons on Earth, which made it the most useless ss in the real world. As such, less than 1% of all yers were summoners.


    On the other end, the four most popr sses were, from the fourth to the first, the Berserker, the Swordsman, the Elementalist and the Cleric.


    For the Berserker ss, it didn''t appear very good in the eyes of most yers, and wasn''t much better than the sses below it, maybe even worse. A Berserker was mostly a pure strength stat after all, there weren''t much superpowers.


    But Adam made the ss pretty popr, and this was enough to push it to fourth rank.


    As for the Swordsman ss, it was deemed as the coolest and strongest melee ss, and a capable swordsman would be recognized as an expert worldwide. However, the main reason the ss was Rank third was because of Asia, as they had the highest ration of swordsmen, especially the Chinese and the Japanese, making the ss very popr.


    Then, for the two most popr sses, the Elementalist was there because it allowed one to y with the elements and do literal magic, something which almost everyone dreamed of doing on Earth. Firing a fireball, zapping someone with a bolt of lightning or piercing them with a shard of ice, they all looked very cool, and were deadly.


    But even then, the most popr ss was by far the Clerics. First, many doctors around the world had be Clerics, for obvious reasons, and even more average people took this profession.


    This was because almost everyone had at least one person in bad health in their family, and even if that wasn''t the case, if there ever was, then being a cleric might solve the problem. That''s why, many had taken this ss.


    Moreover, Clerics weren''t stuck with healing only, they could also attack, and light based attacks looked shy.


    In the end, when Adam finished browsing, he couldn''t help but sigh. This would be the first generation of yers, and they would have to fight for the whole of humanity one day, so that the next generation may live. This was a little depressing to think about


    He shook those thoughts out of his head, and now that he was in his best shape, he went back to Epoch.
