《Descent of the Arcane》Chapter 15: Lanuae Vampire
Advertisement
On the way to the chaos crystal Caleb received a notification stating that Valikra had accepted becoming his general. While Caleb considered saying something he was aware enough to realize that she needed a moment. Before he could move on from the thought though he received a warning from his bloodline, it wasn't in words but the meaning was abundantly clear. Should he ever be weaker than one of his generals he would lose his sovereign bloodline and it would become just an abyssal bloodline. This shocked Caleb as he didn't even know this was possible. He also had no clue as to what the change in bloodline would do to him, if anything, though he decidedly wanted to avoid finding out. Caleb began thinking about how he could avoid losing the sovereign in his bloodline managing to come up with 3 answers; 1.) Kill all my generals who started getting to powerful, 2.) Only give the position to someone weak or untalented, 3.) Advance in strength fast enough that there was never a chance to be surpassed.
Caleb discarded the first option instantly as he refused to kill people unless they threatened him or his family/friends. The second option mhe discarded as it seemed like a way to shoot himself in the foot, besides it also reeked of cowardice. The third option though seemed to resonate with his personality. With a feral grin he thought, "This plan will just give me even more motivation to get stronger."
By this point Caleb and Valikra had reached the chaos crystal. Caleb walked up to the crystal placing his hand on one of its faceted sides. Caleb shivered touching it, the crystal felt like cold water yet also the warm back of a dog, then it felt like the solid crystal it always looked like before the way it felt change again. Tyr had explained that this was because of its chaotic nature and the only reason it didn't disappear or explode was do to the runes on the runic stand holding it there in a solid form. With a shake of his head Caleb accessed the crystal.
CHAOS CRYSTAL
SYSTEM STORE GALACTIC TELEPORTATION CLASS PROFESSION RACE EVOLUTION RACIAL CHANGE
The screen looked the same as it had the last time Caleb had accessed a crystal except that the race evolution tab and racial change tab were no longer marked out. Most items in the store were marked out but there was a refining search section so you could narrow it down to what they were allowed to buy if they had the credits and a slider to mark the most expensive item shown were. But this time Caleb wasn't here to buy or sell, nor to gain intel on what could become available later. This trip was to make himself stronger, to evolve and grow. So without hesitation or looking around Caleb selected the tab for racial change, disappearing in a flash of light.

Caleb was in a black void with elemental particles floating around him. Looking at the system panel in front of him Caleb saw that there were more races mentioned than he had believed there would be, yet the other races were marked out. He also found out that his prior information wasn't completely correct so updated his Journal on the races available. He considered adding the other races but sense all it gave was a name he decided against it. After rereading the information on the races Caleb selected vampire. All of a sudden the elemental particles rushed into Caleb and he exploded into a mist, Instead of pain as one might expect all he felt was pleasure like sinking into a hot tub after a long day at work mixed with snuggling up under warm covers on a cold morning. A period of time passed and Caleb's body and soul reformed though he looked somewhat different being a little over 7 feet tall and significantly more buff than before though not ridiculously so. Caleb's hair had turned red as well as his eyes, his ears had become pointed though stayed the same size. Caleb could also feel that he had two extra fangs in his mouth but that they were currently withdrawn.

An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*.

Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all!

An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.
