The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1040

The pixie tilted her head as if listening to something Karl couldn't hear, then bowed politely.

"It's time for me to go home. Dinner is ready and mom will be mad if I come back smelling like the Mortal Realms. Have a good morning, Monster Man."

Then the pixie was gone, back in the Fae Realm and flying off at hundreds of kilometres an hour.

Karl tried not to laugh at being named the Monster Man by the Fae, who likely didn't even know what his class was. Most likely, the tiny creature was going either by smell or appearance, and Karl spent all his days looking like a Cat Demon.

He really should start spending time as himself again, instead of remaining in this form. But it was so much more comfortable this way. The fur of the transformation was temperature regulating, and he didn't sunburn. So, he was always comfortable whether it was hot or cold.

Plus, Dana liked snuggling with his fur.

Karl finished making notes on the spell to access the Fae Realm, in case that was needed for a related spell later, and moved on to finish exploring the area.

As he returned to the front, the cleric was outside again, and in a much better mood.

"Did you come to a conclusion?" Karl asked.

The cleric nodded. "My father is cousin to the King of Sholaha, and I was expected to spend my life in service to the crown. That is not what I wanted in life, so I became a Cleric.

But now that mortality is catching up to me, my thoughts on life have changed somewhat.

And while I was in contemplation, I saw souls moving south to the nation of Bomgon. I intend to follow them and learn the arts of the Necromancer, but not with the aim of raising the undead.

Instead, I aim to transform myself and, as you said, try to become undead. While holding on to the values that matter most to me."

The Cleric had just started walking away from the temple when the scenery changed, and Karl found that he was standing with the rest of the group in an open field again, next to a perplexed Clan of Orcs.

Lotus looked around, then snapped her fingers in realization.

"I get it. I know how the changes work. Who here did something important just before the change?" She asked.

Everyone else shrugged. They were just relaxing after breakfast, and Ophelia was in the gym, in the middle of a set. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Tessa gave him a curious look and the Orc elaborated.

"He said that the stones didn't remain in one spot after they were hidden away. They are in a pocket dimension, and we just need to find it so that we can claim it for the Clan. Once it is found and opened in our present time, it should stay open at the will of the Great Chieftain that finds it."

That might not be as grand as the search for the scale fragment that the majority of the world's Orcs were on. But searching for a set of System Stones would certainly make them one of the most powerful clans in the world if they actually found them.

Just being able to advance classes at will as their Clan advanced would be incredible.

Plus, they could trade the other Clans for access.

There were dreams of becoming the most prestigious Orc Clan in the Dragon Isles running through the Chief's mind. Nobody was likely to find the scale piece in the immediate future, so there was a chance here to elevate his Clan for an entire generation or more.

Not only that, but if they could advance their classes, he would have the roughest, toughest Orcs anywhere, and they would make a whole generation of more powerful children. What more could a clan ask for?

Tessa could see that there was much more to the message, or to the Orcs' interpretation of it, but she let it slide. That was their own business, and they were already starting to pack up in preparation to move on to another location.
