Chapter 101 Gifts
'Why give me a shop if it has no items.' Alex thought, looking at the empty shop with only one option.
??????????
Rulers SHOP:
Available Items: Zero [The available item's quantity and quality will change depending on the Ruler's Authority and available Rulers Coins.]
?━━━━━━?
Rulers Coins: Zero [The Rulers Coins can be acquired by completing the Ruler mission, Killing Demons, and by Helping the inhabitants of Malefis Domain]
?━━━━━━?
Rulers Gift: !!!!
??????????
'It will be a headache to decide what item is worth buying or saving coins to get something better in the future, and I don't even know if an item that becomes available for purchase would stay forever or get replaced by a newer item.' Alex thought, not liking how the shop worked.
'The only way I could understand the shop working system is by saving a few thousand coins and seeing what quantity and quality of items will become available.'
'After understanding the value of the Ruler Shop, I will be able to decide how much I need to focus on increasing my Ruler authority.' Alex thought.
Alex was not concerned about earning the Ruler's Coins because everything he did relate to Malefis Domain would reward him with coins, and even increasing his Ruler's authority was his secondary purpose.
Alex's main focus at this moment was completing Ruler's mission to complete the quest of domain connection because of their time limit and amazing rewards.
'Let's check my gift for becoming the Ruler.' Alex thought with a broad smile as he clicked on the gift section.

'This Gift is just incredible.' Alex thought, looking at tens of magical fruits, Categories with thousands of different magical fruits.
The magical fruits were, in essence, power resources that provided their consumer with benefits ranging from average to completely overpowering.
Alex was given a choice to choose a single magical fruit from thousands of different magical fruits, and every available fruit was above average, with the best available fruit being the rarest and best in the magical fruit Ranking.
The percentage in front of each magical fruit was the law energy that it requires to mature fully, and Alex was given a large reserve of law energy as his first gift, and all of it was stored in the Dawn Tree.
The Dawn Tree was present in the Ruler's castle, and after every new Ruler was selected, the dawn tree was struck with seven bolts of lighting, rejuvenating it with a large reserve of pure law energy the Ruler could use as he pleased.
The magical fruits were one of the best uses for the stored law energy, and every Ruler was given the gift of choosing one magical fruit from among the best of each category.
The Ruler could tremendously benefit from the two gifts at any point in time as there was no expiry to them, but Alex planned to use them quickly to gain maximum benefits in the long run.
'I don't need to consider the offer of dragon clan as the Vampire queen was generous enough to offer her clan support even though I can't use her clan to its maximum potential because of the restriction placed by Zero.' Alex thought.
Alex carefully scrolled through every available magical fruit, even though he had already planned to select the best one.
'I can't use the stored law energy until I reach the Seventh Rank, which will take me a long time, and until then, I might just find a way to replenish the life force of the dawn tree, so let's choose a fruit that could give me most broken benefits.' Alex thought.
The law energy stored in Dawn Tree acted as the tree's life force, and after being used, the tree will become shrivel dry, but it will not completely die.
The dawn tree was currently beaming with life force because of the stored law energy, but if any amount of energy was used, the tree wouldn't be able to regenerate it, making the legendary tree just a storage container.
The Dawn tree was supposed to automatically gather natural law energy, but its core became damaged in the war of the Ancients that happened in the old era, and from that day, its legendary dawn tree just became an energy container without other usefulness.
After reading some bizarre and broken descriptions of different magical fruits, Alex selected four fruits that could give him tremendous benefits in both the short and long term.
??????????
?①:
Name: Replication Fruit [91%/100%]
Resource: Magical Fruit
Category: Unique Ability
Quality: Legendary
Effects: Perfect Replication [Growth Type]
Description: A magical fruit that grants its consumer the unique ability of perfect replication, essentially giving him the power to copy any world Rank organism capability.
-------------
[Important note: The Perfect Replication ability could be used a certain number of times after every promotion, and each stage of the ability could only replicate up to a certain rank of capabilities.]
??????????
?②:
Name: Space law fruit [96%/100%]
Resource: Magical Fruit
Category: World Law
Quality: Mythical
Effects: Space Law Mastery [Peak Eighth Rank] + [Space Element Talent]
Description: A magical fruit that grants its consumer a profound understanding of the Space law at the same level as a Peak Intermediate Element Ruler.
-------------
[Important note: If the fruit consumer is not an Eighth Rank warrior, then the law knowledge will be sealed up to the current Rank of the consumer.
The sealed law knowledge will get unlocked as the customer reaches the higher Ranks of strength, and the complete knowledge will be available after the consumer enters Eighth Rank.]
??????????
'I would have happily selected any of the two magical fruits if these two abnormalities weren't available.' Alex thought, looking at the stats of the other two fruits.
??????????
?③:
Name: Ancient [???] [97%/100%]
Resource: Magical Fruit
Category: Bloodline
Quality: Mythical [???]
Effects: Bloodline of the Ancient [???]
Description: A magical fruit that grants its consumer an Unknown Ancient bloodline with unknown potential.
-------------
[Important note: After a bloodline fully merges with a person's body, it can't be removed and can only be destroyed and replaced with a stronger bloodline.]
??????????
?④:
Name: Evolution Fruit [100%/100%]
Resource: Magical Fruit
Category: Special
Quality: Mythical [???]
Effects: Evolution
Description: A magical fruit that evolves the consumer's Bloodline, Physique, Natural Talent, and so on to their maximum potential.
-------------
[Important note: If the consumer body building blocks structure started to destabilize, the evolution process will be stopped, and all the remaining energy of the evolution fruit will be wasted.]
??????????
'I know choosing between the first two fruits is the most logical choice, while the bloodline fruit, even though risky, is still better than the first two fruits, but the evolution fruit is the only fruit that will consume 100% of law energy.' Alex thought while watching four system screens, each displaying a different fruit.
Alex was interested in all four fruits, but too bad he could only select a single fruit, and he didn't want to rush such an important decision that would change the trajectory of his future, so he was patiently thinking about the best choice.
'The Replication ability is broken, but I don't believe I will be able to replace the unwanted abilities with good ones, and the worst thing is that selecting the perfect capability at every stage will be impossible, always leaving me with regret of missing on something good.'
'The space law fruit will give me the space talent and space law understanding up to to the Eighth Rank, which would mean I will not need to do the hard part of learning the mysteries of the space element, making it an easy ride for me to reach the Elemental Ruler Rank in a short Time.'
'The major downside of using the space law fruit is that even though I will reach the elemental Ruler Rank, my experience with the space element will be at the beginner level, making me the weakest Elemental Ruler.'
'The Bloodline fruit could give me an Unknown bloodline which could grant me many short and long-term benefits, but only if it's compatible with me because if it's not compatible, then it might become a hindrance and may hold me back from reaching my full potential.'
'The evolution fruit is the riskiest and probably the best among the four fruits.' Alex thought, unsure which of the four he wanted to select.
