Shaper of Desire Lv. 44

There was a long line of text in front of me when I opened my eyes. There was a surprise, but a big smile soon appeared on my face.

“Finally,” I said as I read the fourth line.

Monster Rider Class had finally merged with the Ironblood Lord of Radiant Dreams. It is more like it had been swallowed by the class; I had been wishing for it to happen.

My Lord Class had also reached Lv. 45.

I looked at class, and the smile on my face became even bigger. I will not be restricted anymore.

Tempest is a powerful monster, but my Monster Rider class was not high-level enough that I would be able to use its skills to exploit the greatest power I could from Tempest.

Now, the class had swallowed my Lord Class, and even skills had been upgraded, all of them.

I looked at the skills and could hardly control myself.

The first skill is Monster Link; it’s one of the rare and desired skills for high-level Monster Riders.

It had been made from the merger of Monster Mark and Instant Command. Monster Mark: lets me know where the monster is. Instant Command was a command skill.

Monster Link had functions of both and more.

This not only lets me sense the monster's location, but also its emotions and well-being, with a much greater range. Since it is a link, I will not need to say the command; mere intentions will suffice.

This is a very important skill. Especially on the battlefield.

The next skill is Soothing Presence, which is an upgraded version of Calm Touch. It’s a presence skill and a very good one. Now, I do not need to touch the monsters to activate it.

Since it is a presence skill. I could use it on a lot of monsters at once, even without aura.

It is a skill that both Monster Rider and Monster Trainers desire.

The third skill, Lightning Gallop, is an advanced version of Phantom Gallop. It was Tempest's favourite skill, and now that it has upgraded into Lightning Gallop, Tempest is going to love it even more.

The fourth one is Rein Control, which advanced from Rein Flow. It’s a skill that gives me control over the steed. It’s a very useful skill in battles, and now, it has become even better.

This skill will help me a lot in the battles.

The fifth one, Cloud Trot, advanced from Ariel Drift. This skill had saved Tempest’s life a lot of times in battle yesterday, and now, with Cloud Trot, this skill had become even better.

The sixth one is Monster Grant, upgraded from Power Share. It’s a more powerful version of it, and one of the skills that I wish I could try immediately.

Unfortunately, I can’t.

I pushed my disappointment away and turned to the last skill of the former rider class; the one I had in my list of skills, I want to have.

Fleetbound Synchrony advanced from Shared Gallop.

This is a skill I got from Monster Rider advancement, before the class got swallowed by Lord Class.

Shared Gallop is one of the most desired skills of Calvary Leaders. As it lets them pull others to the same speed as them. Fleetbound Synchrony does the same.

Well, nearly the same. Its far more powerful than Shared Gallop.

It’s a Lv. 50 skill; everything I had read about it stated that it is a Lv. 50 skill. I did not read even a single line about Lv. 40 powerhouse getting this skill.

It is one powerful skill.

I want to try it immediately, but I have controlled myself and turned to the last skill. It’s a skill I got from my level-up, and it’s the one that made me happiest.

It’s one of the rarest skills of the lord class and one of the most desired. Usually, only Lv. 50 lords have it.

Grand Mage Salazar has a version of it, and Marquess Gats, Duke of Blackwell, now also has it, but his version focuses on the army.

It might change with the new position. Though I have not heard about it yet.

Civic Candence.

It’s a domain-wide skill that increases civic efficacy. Any official work synchronises and aligns. It became smoother, shrinks delays, and reduces redundancies.

It is a passive skill that works invisibly, unnoticed, but it brings massive change.

I already know how useful such skills are with Laws of My Land and Public Words. Speaking of which, it will increase their power. It works very well with other Dominion skills-increases their power.

I kept looking at it before turning to the last line. Shaper of Desire; it had advanced as well.

I looked at it and focused; a minute later, I stopped, a wide smile appearing on my face. I had sensed it's happening, but now the proof is in front of me.

The class had levelled up because Lola became the Governor.

Since Shaper of Desire advanced to Lv. At 40, I had noticed its influence had begun to spread outside of the legacy. It is advancing on what legacy members are doing outside.

Which is the domain of my ruling class.

Now, the domains of both of my classes are intersecting, and that is a good thing for me, because now there is a chance that both of the classes will merge.

That is what I want.

My classes are powerful; they are as powerful as Lv. 50 classes. If they merged together, they would become even more powerful and, most importantly, all the experience would go toward one class.

It would be difficult to advance such a class, but it would still be worth it.

It’s a passive skill. So, it had already been activated. I didn’t have to do it. Now I just have to wait a week or two and see the results.

Along with the level-ups and skills. I also got one attribute point, which I added to charm, taking it to twenty-six.

I looked at my classes and skills; there are now only two classes remaining.

I have also gained many skills. I believe, at Lv. 50, there will be a lot of changes in them, but reaching that level wouldn’t be easy. I am not ashamed to admit that I am fully confident I can reach that level.

People far more talented than I had stopped at that level.

I shook my head and closed the interface before getting out of bed. Feeling much better than I had yesterday, when all I wanted to do was sleep.

If it weren't for the importance of the vote and meeting all those people, I would have gone to bed earlier.

I quickly freshened up and showered before walking out of the room. Today is my last day in baronies and there are a lot of things to do.

Most important of all, visiting Eli’s beast training academy.

It is one of the things that received the money they had asked for without any cut. Beasts and scouts are an important part of the military. Especially here.

There are monsters and attacking enemies, and we are waiting to swoop in on any chance.

We need scouts, a lot of them, to remain alert and react to any misadventure. We already have a scouting training academy in Panar, and here we will have the best scouting academy.

“Any news from Grimvale?” I asked Zela as I walked out. “No,” she replied.

Disappointment couldn’t help but fill my heart. I know, I will not get a reply soon, but I was hoping for it. I need peace to develop my territory.

Especially the baronies.

The new laws will help tremendously, and I have a plan; the only thing I need is time. I am not asking for much; a year would be more than enough for me.

“Anything important happened while I was sleeping?” I asked. “Count Thalewin was able to push a little further past Greymoor,” she replied.

That Count from Geim; he is not satisfied and has been pushing further into the empire. The Empire should send someone powerful or capable to deal with him quickly, or they will regret it.
