In truth, Caelan had fallen into a mental blind spot.
He had grown so used to upgrading skills to Lv. 99,999, or even Lv. 999,999, that whenever he saw a skill capped at only Lv. 999, his instinctive reaction was to think it was underwhelming—barely worth mentioning, almost meaningless.
But what he had overlooked was this:
For the vast majority of Awakeners, raising a skill's level cap from Lv. 99 to Lv. 999 already represented a tenfold increase.
It was precisely this mistaken perspective that led to what happened later on.
The Runic Array Caelan would create ended up being a little too powerful.
So powerful, in fact, that it even sparked a wave of immigration from the foreign races.
Of course, that was a matter for the future, and there was no need to dwell on it for now.
Caelan reviewed the skills he currently possessed, only to find that none of them seemed more suitable for storing within the Runic Array.
So he shifted his attention to his skill trees instead.
