Traveling

The description did not bring much news, unlike what he expected but it brought a little light to the new changes that occurred in his body. The heptagram on his belly, the seven horns on his head, and the ability of the seven sins had a connection, perhaps the functioning of the ability had something to do with his new physical characteristics.

He felt much more capable than before, his skills and his control over the elements reached the basic level so that he can protect himself in nature, he knew he was far from reaching as much as possible but he walked every step at once.

Passive proficiencies that increased with power could rise to +10 and then evolve to a higher level skill.

The professions also have several levels, from Basic, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced were only the levels that corresponded to the bronze classification, after that there was the silver, gold and diamond classification of the legends. The best placed people on the continent achieved only the gold ranking. At least, those with public information. By the shadows of the great forces there were certainly people in the diamond classification working in secret.

Nico didn't care much about power struggles on the continent and would try to stay away from them while he did his research. Walking to the roads to the east, out of the influence of the Balta family, it had been three days of walking and after passing through villages even smaller than the city of Opus he had finally left the lands of his enemies, someday he would return to settle his debts.

The map pointed out that the nearest city was Jambel, a place far more evolved than any city belonging to the Baltas feud. Run under the command of a marquis, the city flourished halfway to the capital, there it could receive much more than before.

It took another five days of walking to get there and Nicola was approached on the way by two small groups of bandits who robbed small merchants and people who ventured out on the road alone. Nico did not kill them, since he would gain nothing from it and they had nothing to attract him, the gold they had in them was much less than what he had already accumulated and they did not have any space rings.
