SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Memory Crystal.

Time passed.

After going through what felt like an endless number of items, Kael’s expression had gradually turned into one of pure frustration. He stared at the collection of rewards before him, then let out a long sigh.

"Trash. They’re all trash..."

Technically, that wasn’t entirely true. Most of the items weren’t actually bad. In the right hands, some of them could even be considered quite valuable. The problem was that nearly every single one had something to do with monks, Buddhism, preaching, or some variation of the path the monk had walked.

For example, one of the pendants that was included among the rewards.

It was an item designed specifically for someone who wanted to spread a faith.

When worn and activated while preaching, it could subtly strengthen the connection between the speaker and their audience, making it easier for the preacher’s words to reach their hearts. For someone trying to establish a religion or gather followers, it was undoubtedly an excellent item.

For Kael?

Utterly useless.

Then there was the holy book.

It contained the experiences and insights of some high-level cultivator who had apparently walked an impressive distance along the Path of the Buddha. The knowledge contained within was valuable to anyone following that particular path, perhaps even enough to serve as a treasure to some monks.

Kael had stared at the book for several seconds.

For one brief moment, he’d seriously considered keeping it around specifically to wipe his ass with after taking a shit.

He eventually decided against it.

There was no reason to insult an entire faith simply because his first encounter with one of its practitioners had involved getting nearly beaten to death.

Kael sighed as he shifted his attention back toward his inventory, his frustration slowly giving way to curiosity.

After sorting through the remaining items, only one was left.

He stared at it for a moment before sighing.

"This better be good."

With that, he pulled the final item from his inventory.

A clear crystal orb roughly the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in his palm.

The crystal was almost perfectly transparent, yet there was something strangely mystical about it. A faint, bone-deep cold radiated from its surface, carrying a sensation that made Kael instinctively realize this was no ordinary crystal.

He focused on it and activated his Eye of Judgment.

The information appeared before his eyes.

[Memory Crystal]

[A recorded experience that belongs to a once-reputable Runesmith. Absorbing the contents of the Crystal can elevate one’s knowledge of the Rune Arcana.]

Kael’s brows furrowed.

"Rune Arcana?"

He stared at the crystal.

"What the hell is that?"

He had never heard of such a thing before.

Still, there was only one obvious way to find out.

Kael tightened his fingers around the crystal.

The moment he did, a notification appeared before his eyes.

[Do you wish to absorb the experience contained within the Memory Crystal?]

[Yes / No]

Kael selected yes.

Another notification immediately appeared.

[Warning.]

[The Memory Crystal contains a high level of Arcana knowledge.]

[Absorbing the recorded experience may place an excessive burden on the user’s mind and brain.]

[Low-level individuals may suffer severe mental damage.]

[Do you still wish to proceed?]

[Yes / No]

Kael stared at the warning for a moment.

Then he selected yes again.

There was no reason to hesitate.

He trusted his own mental capacity, and besides, the warning that the knowledge was dangerous only made him more curious about what was inside.

The crystal suddenly began to churn in his hand. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

A strange sensation spread through his palm.

Then the cold energy erupted.

It rushed through his arm like an icy current before pouring directly into his head.

Kael’s eyes widened.

The next instant, his mind was flooded with information.

Concepts he had never even imagined existed.

The knowledge came all at once, without any regard for whether his mind was capable of understanding it.

Kael’s head throbbed violently.

It felt like someone had taken the most complicated mathematical equations imaginable and started forcing them into the mind of a child who could barely count from one to ten.

That was the closest comparison he could make.

His brain desperately tried to process everything.

For a while, Kael could do nothing but endure.
