Eternal Thief

"What happened?" 

Ace was perplexed when he examined the completely withered runic plate and mused, 'Was it destroyed because that was a perfect symbol made by Heavenly Wind Soul Qi? Then doesn't that mean I can't create perfect arrays and formations with usual runic plates, or did I do something wrong?'

This was the only possible explanation he could think of because he clearly knew just what a perfect symbol indicated and if he wanted to create a perfect symbol, then he needed the perfect materials for it as well. 

Just like the runic plates, they were made by crafters and worldly Qi, so how could it withstand Ace's heavenly soul Qi? 

Before he thought of this problem, he didn't ponder on this matter since he wasn't able to create those combined symbols nor did he use his heavenly soul Qi and only draw single symbols with light soul Qi.

Now, what he was most afraid of had finally happened. 

'Do I have to learn crafting as well and create my runic plates?' Ace was depressed and helpless in this matter. 

Just he was about to try drawing combined symbols with light soul Qi, system's static voice rang in his mind like a morning bell. 

=====

[Congratulation Host on achieving the rank of Tier-1 Heavenly Rune Crafter!]

===== 

Ace's eyebrow raised a little since he never expected his failure would be deemed a success by the system, however just when he thought bitterly, 'There weren't any rewards this time!' the system voice rang again. 

=====

[All conditions have been satisfied!]

[Heavenly Rune Crafter Panel has been unlocked!]

{Heavenly Talisman Function of Heavenly Rune Crafter Panel has been unlocked}

{Reward: Intermediate-Talisman Crafting Technique}

---

[The previous reward, Basic-Talisman Crafting Technique, has been released]

---

[Please check the main interface] 

=====

Ace was pleasantly surprised by this sudden development as his heart raced, 'I never expected to get this massive reward!' 

He knew what an entirely new panel represent; it was something big just like the thief panel, and he didn't have to clear any mission to get this as well. 

With ecstasy, he opened the system's main interface, where a new blinking icon has appeared beside the thief panel icon. It was a unique symbol representing the rune crafter panel. 

Without any further delay, he quickly opened the new icon and a completely new panel appeared in front of him. 

=====

[Heavenly Rune Crafter Panel]

Rune Crafter Rank: Tier-1

Rune Crafter Trademark: Coin 

Rune Crafter Colophon: Thief Symbol

---

{Talisman Section} (UNLOCK)

{Array Section} (LOCK)

{Formation Section} (LOCK)

{UNKNOWN Section} (LOCK)

=====

Ace was intrigued by the Rune Crafter Trademark and Rune Crafter Colophon. He didn't know about the coin was about, but what the thief symbol represented, he knew. 

As he studied the new panel further, his eyes shone with ambiguity, 'Why is there's an unknown section?' He didn't know nor did he care any longer since there were still two sections grayed out, and he had to unlock them before it. 

Before he considered Talisman some powerful formation technique, but after seeing the formation was still locked, this implied Talisman was something completely different and new. 

Furthermore, he still didn't get any information about those two techniques, which means those two rewards were part of this section, not for him. 'Well, as long as I had the system, they're mine, period!'

However, he was thoroughly wrong because the moment he tried to open the talisman section, a tremendous amount of information was released by the system into his brain like a tidal wave. 

Ace was caught off guard, but he was accustomed to memory transactions and quickly focus on the incoming memories. But he still underestimated the quantity of the information the system released, and finally felt the pain of brain splitting.  contemporary romance

However, after he got about ten percent part of the massive information, the remaining ninety percent was sealed by the system inside his knowledge sea just like the rune crafting technique. 

Nevertheless, just ten percent was enough for Ace to take six hours before he managed to turn the information into his own. 

The moment Ace tightly shut eyes were opened, astonishment was all over his face and a hint of excitement could be seen in his eyes. 

"So, this what a talisman is, no wonder I never heard about it before." Ace mumbled with a hint of elation in his voice. 

Ace got the information about the basic talisman crafting technique just know, it was divided into three parts meant for the first three tiers (1 to 3) of heavenly rune crafter.

He only got the information about the tier one talisman crafting techniques while the other two parts were locked and as he would advance his crafter rank, they would be unlocked. 

Furthermore, he also got the information about the other three tiers (4 to 6) of talisman, it was his new reward, the intermediate talisman crafting technique. 

As for reaming (7 to 12) tiers, he just knows they exist but doesn't know when he would get them. 

However, he didn't think much about them yet, since he was far away from tier-7 and completely focused on the tier-one talisman crafting technique. 

Actually, the talisman creating was another branch of rune cratering, and it was also unique and difficult, that's why very few people would practice it. Because the method was just too difficult, and the materials related to it were also quite precious. 

Furthermore, it was only a one-time use item and can't be used again and again like array or formation. However, which made it unique and scary as it didn't need any time to be active and anyone can use it as long as someone had just a sliver of Qi!

Talismans come in different forms like charms, amulets, totems, idols, papers, and many other things, but Ace only got the method to create coin talismans. It was a trademark of a thief!

'So, I can either create one on my own or…' Ace commanded, "System open Talisman Section." 

This time the talisman section was opened without any further surprises!
