    Well, it seems like he will be getting Alchemist class. Alchemist class seems to be the least popular in that world.

    15 intuition seems like too easy to get for some reason. And 8th hero? The pace of this novel is too fast. Not I dislike.

    How is this too fast? MC is hanging out in tutorial village and trying to do what he can to accomplish a basic objective. Getting 30 intuition is nothing when you consider the fact that he'll have to get over 700 or something. His strength is capped at 999 and it's a safe bet that increasing a stat is logarithmic. As for 8th hero and 15 intuition, it's conditional on getting perfect on several tasks and this isn't a 'back in time' story. MC isn't an all-knowing expert. He's stumbling along using what he knows. 8th hero is probably important to the entire story. Who defines the '7 heroes' thing? How and why is there an 8th? etc etc

    Where in the story is that written? I would be surprised if there was a cap on any stat since this is a RPG universe where normal physics doesn't apply. And where is it written that increasing a stat is logarithmic? It seems like increasing a stat is just adding more blessings from different gods on top of one another.

    While they're both assumptions, they're pretty safe assumptions. One stat is at 999, which is a commonly seen cap, and his character is to be 'the strongest'. He can't be the strongest if his strength isn't #1 out of everyone. Assuming that his strength stat of 999 is the cap isn't far-fetched. As for logarithmic growth (meaning diminishing returns) that's pretty standard? Otherwise he could just hit training dummies N x 999 times and get all his stats to 999?

    Is it actually stated that he's the strongest?

    Well, I wonder what is he planning by trying to make people sought after his help? I feel like he'll be manipulating them to death..

    Was it not listed as 999+? As in it only shows to 999 but it can progress beyond that?

    Well, it's surprising to see that there are already two factions created. The good guy has to manage a terrible group while the suspicious guy is managing a well organized group.

    "Suspicious" guys create groups quickly and they work. They usually don't last due to the leader getting killed by a follower. So inheritance isn't all that likely and thus long term stability isn't the case since they usually aren't great administrators of their assets/territories. The greatest people in history are those that conquered a territory and then spawned a stable empire, people such as Cyrus the Great followed by Darius I which stabilised it created the institutions we are used to in European history.

    Hahaha I can totally imagine this

    MC will definitely be able to kill Ahram if he wants to. He's way stronger than Dolorence Winterer and anyone else present in the Summoning Hall at the moment. The only question is how he wants to do it.

    I keep wondering about the curse he asked about from the book.

    Same goes to me, lol
    I'm guessing he's going to kill it without no one realizes it and he'll act like nothing has happened.

    Ah~ Still no Ahram-beating!

    I wonder why Drill Sergeant still doesn't have the hidden quests.

    Probably because the ones making the Sergeant didn't know them either. He only knows the ones he has seen or the standard ones they all know. The mages handling the summoning area probably don't know all of them either since it is a god that is responsible and they have to follow its guidelines. Wonder how the god makes is wishes known to them...

    This is such bullshit. How the fuck did he only get 18.4% contribution when he was the one leading the assault and doing all the significant damage by himself? It should be at least 50%.

    EDIT: Oh so it's determined by human judges? That's fucked up. Why can't they be bribed then?
