“What do you mean the system is evolving?” Nik croaked through hoarse vocal cords. Harper eyed him curiously after hearing his voice nearly break with each word. “Once upon a time, my father looked after the tower and its system, and it remained stable after the tower was taken. With all of the more recent changes, I believe the system has been forced to adapt.” “Adapt how? By throwing class and skill changes at me?” Nik asked as he studied her troubled expression. Harper rubbed her fingers in circles over her temples. “I believe one of two things is at work here. Either it took the most promising candidate it could find and is trying to guide that person, you, into the position of caretaker. Or, alternatively, maybe you just happen to be fulfilling the requirements it needs for things that have already been shifting under the surface since the tower was broken. Either way, the other kings will have even more reason to want you dead if they find out. That is the power they wanted, after all. Wait, did you say skill changes?” Nik let out a heavy sigh and then coughed at the irritation it caused his throat, which only made it worse. “I lost multiple skills, too. The system merged them together under a new one. Can you tell me anything about the celestial skill?” he asked. Beatrice wore a look of clear disgust on her face as she replied, “I didn’t know that was possible; I can’t believe you can just lose skills like that. And I’ve never heard of a celestial skill, sorry.” “No, I honestly can’t say that I have, either. I’ve never seen skills merging discussed anywhere in my father’s notes. What skills did it take?” she replied. “Gravity, shadow, flame, and divinity. It called them a rare skill combination and referred to celestial as a ‘reality category’ skill. Normally the system sort of helps me understand things now, but I've got nothing here. I didn't even gain a new ability, aside from Gravity Well, and the levels for the old skills are gone, too. Broken twigs, my class bonus!” Nik blurted out, pulling up his class feature. Class: Celestial Architect Master of stars and the void between them. You are a being with inherent celestial type resonance: effects of divinity, light, shadow, and space-based abilities you use are doubled in power, and you gain resistance to the effects of abilities that match your resonance. Nik read the words out loud as he let the words settle into his own mind. “Okay, so let’s unpack that. My father’s notes only talk about his resonance and other beings having the chance to share it, but never does it say anything about different types of resonance. I’ll dig into it and see if there’s something I might’ve missed, but it sounds like you’re going to need to start training again. Your biggest attacks might have just lost some of their punch, but let’s hope your class feature might be able to make up for that. Celestial Architect…” A smile snuck onto Harper's face as she drifted off into thought. Beatrice, with all of the excitement of a child getting their favorite dessert, spoke with a raised pitch. “Holy freakin’ crap, that sounds so OP, though. We need to figure out how to do what you did. Imagine having a bunch of abilities under one skill, then everything you do would power-level that one instead of being split between multiple. That's it, I want one! Harper, I'm gonna need you to figure this out!” The druid continued laughing like a deranged lunatic, eyes wide as she stared off at a blank wall. With his body healing, Nik finally stood. Dad is strong. Will get stronger with Dad, too. I'm a good dragon, will be great, Ryan thought with a smile. Nik turned his gaze from the fae-dragon and back to the others as he said, “Did I mention that Ryan breathed in some of the flames of my resonance energy, and now we can hear each other's thoughts?” “What? Are you kidding me? Why didn't you bring that up already? That's freakin’ crazy awesome! I wish I could do that with Doggy!” Beatrice practically screamed
