Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Rylon Star System, Alaric Star Domain, Ruusor Star Sector, Frontier Star Segment, Chronus Expanse Star Region, North-Western Galactic Quadrant, Eternal Imperium of Asurya, Several Days Later.

Nothing in this world was indefinitive and everything had its time of duration. Nothing lasted for forever and eternity, which was rather shame, but that was how the world operated under such rules.

Not even the effects of the Divine Water had already ended, and Arcturus finished the week-long training under the Grandmaster Arsit Byrmellir.

He was very satisfied with the results as he was right now using the last minutes of the effects of the Divine Water as he wanted to raise the Proficiency with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Dimension Empyrean to the Apprentice Level of Proficiency.

[Proficiency with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Dimension Empyrean has been increased by 5%.]

[Proficiency with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Dimension Empyrean has been increased by 7%.]

[Proficiency with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Dimension Empyrean has been increased by 9%.]

[Proficiency with the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Dimension Empyrean has reached Level 1 Apprentice.]

This was the last notification from the system that he saw when the effects of the Divine Water dissipated into nothingness, and everything returned to normal. When the effects of the Divine Water disappeared, Arcturus suddenly felt a very strong headache, and his head was in tremendous pain that he wanted to fall to the ground, but he was forced to remain sitting on the ground.

Soon enough, the pain was disappearing away, and in a few moments, he wasn't feeling anything at all, as he finished the practice and fulfilled all of his goals.

[The Effects of the Divine Water has been ended.]

[Achievement Mission: Increasing Proficiency

Description: Due to the Host drinking Cosmos Treasure Divine Water, the Gost's comprehensive capabilities are multiplied x10 for the duration of the 7 days. Increase Proficiency in as many Skills and Abilities as possible.

Status: Completed]

[Calculating the rewards for completing the Achievement Mission.]

[Calculation of the rewards has been finished.]

[Host has been awarded an unknown egg.]

[Host has achieved the rudimentary requirement for the basic degree of power.]

[Achievement Missions would be issued only after fulfilling grand achievements corresponding to the Host's power.]

Arcturus watched the notifications from the Star Citizen Online System; he realized that a pure white egg was resting on his lap. Right now, he was sitting in the dojo of Grandmaster Byrmellir in his room, so nobody noticed the white egg that appeared out of nowhere on his lap.

For several minutes straight, he was observing the white egg that was resting on his lap in mild curiosity, because the egg looked rather mystical. The egg wasn't hot or cold, it was just normal, but at the same time, when he put his right hand on the egg, it started absorbing his Psionic Energy.

He wouldn't even notice it for the time being if it was not for his superior senses and Superior Attunement for the Psionic Energy. Arcturus didn't really know what to do about this, but he was rather curious about where this could lead, so he left the egg absorbing his Psionic Energy.

Arcturus noticed that the egg was rather greedy when it came to the absorption of the Psionic Energy. It was assimilating his overwhelmingly pure and dense Psionic Energy with unspoken greed and delight, as the egg even started shaking a bit.

This continued for several minutes, until it stopped entirely and the egg stopped shaking for the time and even the devouring of the Psionic Energy stopped. Arcturus observed the egg for the time being before he put it away.

When the egg stopped absorbing the Psionic Energy, Arcturus put the egg away and opened the status screen of the system to observe the changes on the status screen. It seemed that the egg won't be hatching anytime soon as it would be mostly requiring even more Psionic Energy.

Something was telling Arcturus that it would still be a long journey to hatch the egg properly, but at the same time, as it was something that was given to him by that dammed system, so he was rather sure that it wouldn't be an ordinary thing.

Most probably, it was the egg of some very powerful creature, perhaps even that of something related to the Void itself.

Having a Battle Pet Companion was something that was relatively uncommon in the Andromeda Galaxy and the surrounding galaxies because the money and resources that were required to properly cultivate powerful Battle Pet Companions were something that only the rich and powerful could afford.

Not to mention, in the part of space, as it was rather undeveloped, people were not really focusing on cultivating Battle Pet Companions, so aside from those with power and money, not many people bothered with it.

For example, he knew that his master, Arsit Byrmellir, had Void Basilisk as his familiar, though the familiar was not in the Starfort Lycurgos, but instead, it was left in the personal planet that the Grandmaster Byrmellir owned.

Apparently, the serpent was too huge to be properly accommodated in the Starfort Lycurgos, but the creature would also disdain to live in this place as it lacked forests and places to hunt the prey.

Arcturus saw the serpent a few times. It was named Ladon, and it was named after the Ladon; for some reason, his master refused to clarify the name, as Arcturus suspected that it had something to do with the mythical dragon from the Greek Mythos.

The creature was long several hundreds of meters, and it was humongous, so his huge size would be the huge obstacle to bringing him with the Grandmaster.

The progression that he made under the effects of the Divine Water was indeed tremendous, and Arcturus felt that he had gotten much stronger than before. This was not an increase in the raw power, but one in the subtle aspect, in the mastery over his already existing powers that he possessed.

Especially the increased Proficiency in the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability was something that directly increased his raw power. Every single bit of the growth, when it came to the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Abilities, meant a tremendous increase in the raw power.

Usually, these kinds of abilities require a lot of training to be used efficiently, as they are very hard to use. Arcurtusu was aware of this fact, and now he could feel that his combat prowess with the use of the Dimension Empyrean would be several times higher compared to the previous times.

If he counted the better usage when it came to the control of his Psionic Energy, which also got polished during the training, as he was training a lot in the Nuclear Chaos Formula as his primary Psionic Energy Control Method, that increased his control over the Psionic Energy several times over.

He could see the effects of the Nuclear Chaos Formula far more clearly now that the Proficiency was at the Apprentice Level. His control over the Psionic Energy when he was using the Nuclear Chaos Formula was more precise, and he was wasting less Psionic Energy compared to before.

It was rather unfortunate that there were not more bottles of the Divine Water because if he had a continuous supply of this miraculous thing, then he would be able to "max" his skills, but such a thing was, right now, impossible.

Not only now but also in the future, because during the time he was training, he searched through the Extranet and also through the Imperial NetSphere for information about the Divine Water, and he managed to find some information about it.

Or, more precisely, about the price, and it was then when his eyes went almost blank, because, on the auctions, even the lowest-grade bottle of Divine Water with several tens of milliliters of the Divine Water was told for many millions of the Universe Credits.

The last mention of the Divine Water that he managed to find was from several years ago when someone was selling rather good quality Divine Water. Nothing else was specified, unfortunately, for Arcturus, but the person was selling around 250 milliliters, which was around the same amount as Arcturus drank.

In the end, it was sold for the astronomical sum of over four hundred million Universal Credits, which was an absolutely staggering amount of money. Aside from that, there were no other mentions of people selling the Divine Water of top-quality or high quality, something that Arcturus drank and used and would never be publically sold.

Either, the person who obtained it, would use it for himself because this thing was even efficient for the most powerful Beyonders, or it would be sold privately and exchanged for other treasures that would be calculated in tens of billions of Universal Credits.

It was clear that by giving him the Divine Water of such quality, the Imperial Military HighCom was investing a lot of resources into him and hoping to cultivate him into a powerful asset. If not, then the Imperial Military would at most give him some ordinary treasures, some pieces of tech for his spaceship, and Universal Credits.

On the contrary, he got something far more valuable than the Universal Credits, pieces of tech, or anything else. Although the effects of the Divine Water were only temporary, they allowed people to increase their skills and power at a tremendous rate.

For example, a small part of Arcturus was to focus on Psionic Cultivation and reach a higher grade, but his master was strongly against such an idiotic idea as he called it, because it could be very dangerous for Arcturus.

Something that he, too, understood, but the temptation was still there.

"It seems that the training season is finished; now, the sole thing that remains is to take the Delta-Grade Physical Enhancement Serum and strengthen my physique to the Delta-Grade. Afterwards, I can depart to the Planet Asurya."

Arcturus muttered as he put the pure white egg into the pedestal, which was softened with a cushion that he had taken from the room. However, he was sure that the shell of the egg was even harder than Titanium or some of the top-grade alloys of the Imperium.

With his Neural Extranet Terminal Gene Implants, he was able to interact with the materials, albeit only on the very basic level, yet it still gave him a rather lot of information about the egg.

He knew that something was living in there and that the material of the shell was something incredibly hard and dense.

Courtyard of the Dojo of Grandmaster Byrmellir

"It seems that the effect of the Divine Water is already gone..."

Grandmaster Arsit Byrmellir stated as he looked at his disciple. For the past hours, the elderly Highborne Asuryani was spending his time in meditation, as the plan was to wait until Arcturus finished all of his things, before they would be parting their ways.

"There is also something more that I need to tell you about the effects of the Divine Water, so you should sit down for the time being."

Arcturus did as his master instructed and sat across the Grandmaster Byrmellir as the elderly Highborne Asuryani opened his eyes slowly.

"While it is true that the effects of the Divine Water are only temporary when it comes to the top-grade Divine Water that is already on the level of the Cosmic Treausre, like the one you drank, there is a slight chance that you may receive some increasement in the comprehension capabilities in the future... permanent ones."

Arcturus sat on the ground, frozen in place, because this was something entirely new to him and it was not even in his wildest dreams he would think something like this.

"I know that it is rather shocking to hear, but you will only notice the difference in a few months, and the growth in the comprehensive capabilities won't be actually that big, but to the people who are already geniuses, even a small increase in the comprehension abilities is something invaluable. So, hopefully, you will get that boon."

Evidently, the Divine Water only increased the comprehension capabilities of the user only very scarcely...

So, if Arcturus was lucky, he would be one of the very few people who would get some permanent increase in comprehension capabilities.

"That is rather... very surprising information to heart master."

In fact, when he drank the Divine Water, the Red Queen was searching for any information and she couldn't find anything about it. It seemed that it was some kind of information that was hidden by those in the position of power.

"This information is not really known to the general public; only a selected few are aware of its true value."
