Chapter 331: Chapter 331
While the Alliance is trying their best to know what happened to Aaron and others that fell into the traps of the ruins, Aaron was cautiously strolling through the death mire as if he were on a semi-vacation.
The ruins were supposed to be dangerous, but due to his high luck value and trait, alongside his blessing, he was fortunate and avoided every trap, unless there was something substantial to gain behind it.
Yes, he would avoid traps that led to death, but couldn’t avoid the traps that led to treasures, which would be helpful to him or could be exchanged for a lot.
Although he had to deal with various traps, his gains and the fact that he easily broke through them to retrieve the treasures made him less upset about the situation.
As said before, he was on a Semi-vacation.
After this long, people would have ended up dead, but here he was still alive even after more than a month inside.
In the month-long time inside the ruins, he has been busy, noting everything that he came across, without missing a thing. If he could escape, the information he brings would be valuable in gaining a lot of merit.
It would elevate his position in the Alliance, enabling him to gain access to resources that he currently cannot obtain.
He heard rumours of specific restricted resources that can help awakeners grow stronger in a short time. He has a talent that can help him, but his parents don’t have the resources to help them grow quickly. He wanted to access them and help them reach at least Rank-5 as soon as possible, maybe even Rank-6.
Although many had said that no professional related to death had ever reached Rank-7, at least according to the records, he was not going to give up when he reached his peak at Rank 6. He would, one way or another, reach Rank-7 and make history.
When he does, his lifespan would be beyond what many would even think about. He didn’t want to be alone at that time. He knew that his parents would probably leave this world before him, but they were just a few years older than he was, and he wanted them to accompany him through most of his life.
He didn’t want to spend hundreds, maybe thousands of years without them.

"Man, how huge are these ruins?" Aaron muttered as he noted the description of the latest trap he had fallen into.
He easily escaped the trap and gained what appears to be ore of some kind. There are crates of them present in the final room of the trap. He was unable to identify them, but as they were stored in such a way, he believed they might be of some use.
So, he collected the crates, noted the details of the traps, but omitted the treasures behind them and moved on.
He didn’t want to attract the wrong kind of attention.
Aaron knew that though the Alliance may appear righteous, there are many hidden snakes. There are cult spies and even a few who support the Alliance who are not good people. They only support the Alliance so that they can hold power over the world.
So, he only noted small quantities of the treasures left behind, not many.
There was no way to verify whether what he said was true or not. So, there was no need to worry about things like that. They have to trust what he said, as he has already cleared them.
If by chance they find a way to enter the ruins safely, and by chance clear a trap where treasures like these are present, only then would they doubt his findings, but even at that point, they can’t say anything.
Not every place would have the same kinds of treasure or in the same quantity. So, they can’t find faults in his findings.
Also, he has a feeling that by the time they even suspect things like that, he would be much more powerful than he is now.
Speaking of which, in the month that he was here, he was able to increase his level a little.
The traps were not some manual traps, where one can disengage them by removing some wires or bolts. No, they have to face monsters inside, and they are stronger than monsters outside, but they also give more EXP than the ones outside.

This time around, every FSP and SP stayed on his panel.
Although that may be considered a waste, Aaron wanted to improve his ability to control his strength. He would become best not if he has a lot of attributes, but when his control over his strength increases.
There are ways to constrain the strength of someone, but there was no way one could do so for their mastery in control. So, at this point, the number of attributes on his panel matters not.
What matters is how effectively he can utilise his strength.
Until then, he has decided not to increase his strength anymore. If there were any emergency, he would convert all those free attributes into usable ones, but till then, they stay as free attributes.
