The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Chapter 43  My mission and theory about food

After I returned home, I had no idea what to do. If it were a simple mission, then I would be doing that mission in order to reach Tier-4 but it was not. To complete the promotion mission, I need to find a demon and has to bang her. It was the mission.

Where can I find a demon to bang? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It is a problem that I can't solve easily. There are only two ways to find a demon. One was the way everyone does, on a battlefield.

It was the battlefield of races, where many races fought each other. It was a dangerous place, where deaths were common. Almost nothing survives in and around that place. Fortunately, my home is far away from the battlefield and it was relatively peaceful here.

It was also why this method had to be abandoned. With my meager tier-3 strength, it would be a death sentence to even think about going there.

The second method was to use the summoning ritual that I got from the family's library. I need to modify it, to make the process safer. If I summon a Tier-9 this time, it would be game over for me. I was lucky and cautious back then but things don't happen the same way twice.

If I rashly use the summoning ritual, there is a chance that a Tier-9 demon may be summoned and that would be the end of me and my family.

Hmm, maybe someone is trying to get rid of my family, and that someone is from the family itself. I need to find the person who hid this in the library and what their intentions were in doing so.

If it was accidental or because they didn't know what to do with it, no... there is no way that they put it in such an open place if they didn't know what it could do. They would have registered this knowledge and should have placed it in a vault that was specially used for unknown items.

Yes, there is a separate vault for that. The items that weren't recognized would be placed in an isolation box and then locked up in that vault unless someone was able to identify them.

Anyway, there ends my chance to complete the mission quickly. I have still three months before the academy started, so it was all that I had to complete the mission. If I can't complete the mission in that time, then I have to enter the academy as a Tier-0.

This was because once the mission was completed, you had to go to the magic association and have to touch the crystal again in order to proceed further.

So I can't just say I am promoted, and show it in my status without a visit to the association.

If there was enmity between the awakener and the association, then that would be it. There would be no way to proceed further.

Thinking about that, this makes the Magic Association the real ruler of the human race. They essentially control all of the awakened. Whether a person can progress or not, depends solely on the attitude of the Magic Association towards them.

If there was enmity between the awakener and the association, then that would be it. There would be no way to proceed further.

I mean there are ways to proceed further but those ways are lost to time and wars.

The Ancient Wars destroyed many good things that used to exist in ancient times. Magic Association or to be said the founders of that association found the crystal that helps an awakened to progress in ranks. They could have kept that to themselves but they showed it to the world.

This was because, there are other ways to progress, though they were lost or forgotten.

So instead they showed the human race how to progress and easily controlled the human race from the shadows. It is really scary, to say the least.

I may have not found a way to clear the promotion mission, but I found something way better, Food. It was way more important because of my physique.

When I ate at home, my attributes increased a lot but when I was in the forest, they didn't.

This was because I had to make my own food. I never made food myself, even in my previous life. The only food that I cooked was the Ready to Eat food. There would be nothing much to do, just had to add hot water to them and it's good to eat the food.

The food I made in the forest, was mostly burned. It became better as time went on or maybe it was just my taste buds getting used to my burnt food.

I theorized that it was why I didn't get much increase in my attributes when I ate and I was right.

When I ate the food at home after eating, the attributes increased much more than they used to when I ate in the forest. Even though that pretty much confirms whether I can increase my attributes based on how the food I intake was prepared, I made sure to test that out.

There are two things that I concluded from the project.

The first thing was that the increase in attributes depends on what food I consume. When I eat the meat of a Rankless beast, the increase is much less when compared to a Rank-1 beast and so on.

The second thing was the difference in gains caused by changing chefs who prepared my food. When an exceptional one makes the food, there would be more increase in my attribute gain but when a mediocre one cooks the food, even if it was the best meat, the gains would be minimal.

This was the reason why I got so little gains from eating the food I prepared for myself.

This tells me that I had to have a good chef, whenever I go out, but that wouldn't be possible.

Why would a Chef, whose profession has nothing to do with combat leave the safety of a city and enter the wilds? Inside the city, they can be safe and also improve their levels by cooking daily.

The only problem that they face is that they have to find a job when they awaken. If the family has money, they can open a restaurant for themselves. It would be the best and safest way for them to improve their levels and never face monsters that can kill them with the swipe of their paw.
