This was truly worthy of the Prophet’s profession change.

Even the invocation was a class above other professions.

Lu Cang vaguely recalled that the invocation for the Mage profession change was only about fifty characters long, but the Prophet’s was over two hundred.

It was also far more magnificent, as befitting a unique profession.

Kumironi had blocked many of the Filthy Worms for him, but because this was only a Level 1 profession change, the onslaught of corruption wasn’t as fierce as it was for advancing from Level 3 to Level 4.

So, as far as the corruption was concerned, there were no issues at all.

[Level 1 Prophet]

[You have mastered the Prophet Professional Specialization: Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune — You possess a much stronger premonition than ordinary people and are able to sense the good or ill fortune associated with impending actions.]

’The very first specialization is my favorite one.’

Before, with only my Spirituality, my premonitions had been too faint.

During a crisis like the one with Aertemi, I hadn’t felt a thing until it was in full swing. I only sensed the danger when it was right on top of me.

’Or maybe the premonition wasn’t strong because I didn’t actually die in the end.’

But in reality, I had been a hair’s breadth away from truly dying that time.

[You have mastered the Prophet Professional Specialization: Precise Divination — Using the Divination Skill allows you to obtain a divination revelation, which will be highly accurate.]

[You have mastered the Prophet-exclusive Skill: Corner of Destiny]

[Peer into Destiny and glimpse a corner of another’s fate. Can be combined with Divination to see clearer and more certain images.]

Unlike Divination Masters, whose creed is to obey Destiny, the Prophet’s creed is to change it.

They were clearly similar in nature—both were precognitive professions of the Destiny Element.

Yet, the creeds of the two professions were complete opposites.

’Clearly, the Prophet’s creed is a bit easier to follow than a Divination Master’s.’

No wonder the Prophet was a unique profession.

If Prophet weren’t a unique profession, the appearance of a whole host of Prophets would make Destiny far too chaotic.

According to the theories of Destiny Science, even if multiple Divination Masters performed a divination on the same event, they might receive different results.

This wasn’t just a matter of divination accuracy.

It was also because they all saw a version of Destiny in which they had not yet intervened.

If one Divination Master made a prophecy and then chose to intervene, another Divination Master might then foresee the Destiny that resulted from that intervention.

The event that would ultimately occur was called the "True Destiny"—the inevitable result after all prophecies and interventions had played out.

True Destiny was known as the fate that would unfold no matter what, but foreseeing it was extraordinarily difficult.

And the Heavenly Destiny Theorem Technique, which one must master to advance as a Prophet, was the very Magic capable of foreseeing True Destiny, a Magic that only a Prophet could use.

However, to foresee True Destiny also meant confirming an inevitable event that could not be changed, no matter what.

Deciding whether or not to look was no trivial matter.

If you foresaw your own inevitable death... it meant you were powerless to change your fate.

[Talent Mastered—Precognitive Hypothesis (Supreme) >> Divine Level Future Projection]

"Supreme Level becoming Divine Level again..."

’What a huge loss.’

At least it wasn’t a Divine Talent turning into another Divine Talent. Now *that* would have felt like a loss so great I’d go numb.

’Maybe I shouldn’t call it a huge loss in the future. ’A small profit’ seems more appropriate. Calling a Divine Talent a loss is too unlucky. What if I jinx it and they stop coming?’

When it came to harmless superstitions like this, it was better to be safe than sorry.

[Divine Level Future Projection]

[A number of times per day equal to twice your Prophet Level, you can, based on your current state, project a continuous 24-hour period of the future within the next 30 days, as it would unfold under the current flow of Destiny. Uses refresh at 00:00.]

Because he was well-versed in Destiny Science, Lu Cang knew that "as it would unfold under the current flow of Destiny" meant without any foreknowledge or intervention on his part.

’Within the next 30 days, a continuous 24-hour period.’

’In other words, I can pick any day within the next thirty days. But that "day" could be from, say, 6 p.m. to 6 p.m. the following day.’

’It doesn’t have to start at midnight.’

’Basically, this is my so-called future simulator, isn’t it?’

’Alright, I’ll rename this galgame "My Simulated Life in Another World."’

’I’m the protagonist, right?’

Lu Cang muttered to himself.

Kumironi, standing before him, had no idea what was going through Lu Cang’s mind.

Of course, these thoughts were fleeting.

Lu Cang didn’t take these thoughts seriously. When he looked at Kumironi again, his eyes faintly perceived numerous blurry images of the future emanating from them.

’Corner of Destiny.’

With a thought from Lu Cang, a few of the slightly viridian images sharpened into focus.

Lu Cang saw a clip of Kumironi healing someone in the Divine Hall of Life.

He saw a clip of Kumironi watering a potted plant.

He saw a clip of Kumironi taking a bath...

’Worthy of a Prophet, indeed. I can see everything so clearly.’

’The future, of course.’

But after watching for only a moment, Lu Cang felt a heavy weight settle over his mind.

Lu Cang quickly pulled back from his observation.

Noticing Lu Cang’s pained expression, Kumironi couldn’t help but step forward. "Little Lu Cang? What’s wrong?"

Lu Cang shook his head. "No, it’s nothing."

’It consumes so much Spirit.’

’Or more accurately, so much Spirituality.’

He hadn’t expected foreseeing the future to consume Spirituality. He had just viewed too many future events in one go, peering at fragments that were too long, and his Spirituality couldn’t handle the strain.
