677 A Titan's Authority
—–
Ding!
[You have successfully connected with the [Titan Records]!]
[Several new Undead Recipes have been unlocked!]
[You can now channel the power of the many Titan Souls within the [Titan Records]!]
[The Skill Shop has been updated with brand new [Privileges]!]
[[Privileges] are special Abilities within the Titan Records allowing the user for a further enhancement to all their capabilities. They’re like passive skills that cannot grow stronger once acquired.]
[To obtain these Divine powers, spend System Points.]
[An Ancient Primordial Jotunn is glancing at you with a warm smile…]
[He gifts you the first [Privilege]: [Jotun’s Might (B Rank Privilege)]!]
—–
[Jotun’s Might (B Rank Privilege)]
A Divine Power bestowed by the almighty Ymir. You can channel the Primordial powers of the Titan Records to obtain a small part of every soul within this Realm and enhance your Attack Stat with it, increasing it to a maximum amount of up to +1000%.
However, the higher the bonus to Attack Stat, the higher the cost of Mana. Overusing this power might inflict great harm in your soul, be careful!
Duration: 30 Minutes. Cooldown: 24 Hours.

“Oooh! These are pretty good!” I said happily. “I think I’ve finally channeled some of a Jotunn’s power. Though it has a Cooldown of 24 hours?! Yikes…”
[The Power of Divine Privileges is incredible, and these types seem to rely on other powerful souls, so it was necessary to create them with cooldowns and durations, or you would risk the souls of those you’re utilizing these powers from.]
I see, I see. I guess I cannot go completely crazy with these powers. I should check if I can get new ones later as well. I’ve accumulated a lot of System Points too.
“It appears you’ve attained something good.” Fárbauti seemed surprised. “As a gift of my patronage, here, I will give you a piece of my power as well.”
Fárbauti suddenly extracted a fragment of his own soul and gifted it to me.
FLASH!
The soul flew instantly inside of my own, and then…
Ding!
[The Fallen Jotunn of [Fárbauti, the Cruel Striker] has decided to lend you a part of his Authority!]
[He gifts you the [Privilege]: [Fárbauti Cruel Strike (C Rank Privilege)]!]
—–
[Fárbauti Cruel Strike (C Rank Privilege)]
A Powerful Divine Privilege bestowed by nobody else than [Fárbauti, the Cruel Striker] upon a chosen one.
It allows for you to channel the power of his soul and summon his entire might in battle, forming a gigantic Axe made of Ice to strike down your foes with his Titanic Might!
Deals up to +700% Damage, ignores up to 30% of a foe’s total defenses. Especially effective against Divine, Giant, and Calamity-type beings.

Ugh they all have terrible cooldowns! I guess they are like special moves, so I cannot really spam them as much as I would love to. They directly channel the power of the Jotunn souls as well, so it makes sense they need some time to rest, right?
“Amazing, I got another Privilege from you, Fárbauti!” I said happily.
“Privilege?” He wondered, not knowing the meaning of his name and power.
It seems this might be a unique power the system itself developed in response to this new and strange power coming from Jotunheim’s Core and the Titan Records.
“Well, anyways, I hope you utilize my might well.” He nodded. “Whenever you need help, call my name and I will be summoned as your weapon. Don’t do it a lot of times though, or I’ll get very tired and I will need to rest for a while.”
“I see, thanks a lot again.” I sighed, feeling a bit too grateful.
“Sadly, I cannot give you a divine protection. None of us except father have enough Divinity to be able to grant Divine Protections anymore.” He sighed.
“Don’t worry, this was plenty already!” I said.
“Very well then, how about you spend the rest of the night with us? Have you ever learned Axe Techniques? How about Brawling Techniques? We Jotunn have unique Brawling Techniques to teach you, and also Titan Magic, which calls forth the power of nature.” Fárbauti said.
“Ooh! Alright! I am all up for it!” I said happily.
“Don’t worry about spending mana here, this realm is like a big illusion as well, you won’t need mana to bring out your powers, so practice your abilities to your heart’s content.” Fárbauti said.
“Amazing, I’ll make sure to exploit this place a lot then, hehehe.” I laughed rather evilly.
However, as I spent the rest of the night with many Jotunn, and learned new things, I began to think… Aren’t I a Necromancer though? Could it be possible to bring these souls to the living world as my Undead?
Undead Jotunn would surely be incredibly powerful!
…But the moment I brought the topic, most Jotunn seemed to be unwilling, they all said I “wasn’t ready” to do a Divine-level Necromancy yet, and that I also had to know them well first before they were going to gift me their power.
Alright then, I guess that plan can wait another millennium or something… sure, whatever!
Though, “Titan-type Undead” recipes are already unlocked in the Soul Grimoire, so perhaps I could get something like that in the near future, who knows.
Also I’ve got the whole [Goddess] Unique Skill which is still sealed. Also my Soul scape only grew around 50% after my evolution and is not near as ready to become a Divine Realm either, what a bummer.
But I can still feel it, I am getting really close to this power, Divinity.
I just have to keep leveling up and increasing the strength of my skills, and I will eventually reach that stage.
…I hope.
Though for now, I better appreciate every little moment I have with those I love.
And there’s a bunch of other things I want to do other than fighting the Gods, such as finding my little brother and my aunt, visiting Emeraldine’s village, travel to other continents, and more.
There’s a whole world I want to see, I won’t let these Gods get in the way of my dream of exploring it all.
