Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

The next few days, Elliot wore the mask of Joker at night, sneaking out of the Academy and visiting the artifact gallery, all in order to appraise the unidentified objects of powerful magicians between the evolutionary stages of the Channel Opening stage to the Magic Lord stage.

Each time he successfully appraised an item, his reputation as an appraiser increased by a large margin.

Furthermore, he became acquainted with the rich, wealthy, and famous.

The words about him spread like wildfire, latching on to the minds of the biggest families and the most powerful people in the world, garnering their attention.

"Wow, I've become the most searched name on the internet today," Elliot said, feeling a bit too surprised to see the information on the screen in front of his eyes.

He has become the most searched man on the internet!

Elliot smiled, feeling good to become the next hottest sensation in the world.

There words hundreds of forums and websites dedicated to his name, making him think that people have nothing better to do than simp after his secret identity.

He clicked on the most popular one just to read some posts and waste his time.

"Did you hear that? The house of artifact bought a master appraiser to the hall a few days ago! He managed to flip the tables around for them, appraising one unidentified object after another, earning millions of magic coins, and gaining the respect of hundreds of magicians and influential people every single day!" I Want To Suck Joker's Cock posted a few days ago, name and words signifying that they were simping for Elliot's secret identity.

"Ya, I have heard about it, but is it really as the rumor says? No matter how much I think about it, it's a bit too much to believe that someone managed to appraise more than a hundred items in a row." Anti-Believer wrote a day ago, refusing to believe in such bullshit tales.

"They published a video on the internet for people like you who refuse to believe the awesomeness of the master appraiser! Hundreds of influential figures have also stepped in to defend his honor. They walked into an interview, announcing globally about the deeds of Honorable Appraiser Joker, praising him to high heaven, confirming that the rumors are not exaggerated and are true!" I Want To Suck Joker's Cock made this post several seconds after Anti-Believer, showing to the world that their dedication to turning everyone into Elliot's simp is brighter than the stars.

"Why do you think he's a man? Why are you so sure about that?" Bella Pink Up and Down posted.

"Although he's wearing a mask, his voice, name, the way he carries himself, and his demeanor highlight the fact that he's an exceptional man. Besides, no woman in the world could act as confidently, arrogantly, and smoothly as Honorable appraiser Joker as well as the fact that no one in this entire world can dare to compare their wisdom against him." I Want To Suck Joker's Cock posted in reply, revealing to the world that he has watched the video about honorable appraiser Joker a hundred, if not a thousand times in merely days.

"I forgot to mention, but nearly all the girls and gays of the upper society are smitten with him. Wherever he appears in the treasure hall, a thousand beauties throw themselves at him, hoping to gain his favor!"

"Damn, man! Are we living in the ancient time where he is the emperor? Why are so many girls throwing themselves at him? He can easily create a harem of ten thousand if he ever so wish! I'm envious of him." The Lustful Venom posted.

"Hahahahahaha! Dumb fatty, we are not living in the ancient time, but honorable appraiser Joker is nothing less than an Emperor! He is the Emperor of Wisdom!" Someone who knew who he was in real life posted, exposing to the world that that guy who made a post above him is fat.

In a few days, Joker became the hottest and the most searched topic on the internet.

Hundred Monster region, Dark Demon Swaps, Supreme Demon Worshipers Court Council.

Inside a tall tower whose peak thrust into the skies of Xavier, one could see seven people dressed in black and red sitting around a table, here to attend to the call of their commander.

"Did you hear?" The leader of the Mist Serpent Devils Faction, a young man with bright eyes and black hair, who looked as beautiful as a girl said, sitting cross-legged and chewing on a stalk of grass, indulging himself in the bitterness spreading over his tongue.

"Hear what?" The second-in-command of the Mist Serpent Devils faction, a killer and the most wanted man known to the world as merciless said, sitting on a wooden chair with one leg over another while hugging his sword.

News has it that the Super Villain Merciless kills everyone that gets on his nerves, and he had the blood of thousands of people on his hands in merely ten years.

"About the honorable appraiser Joker, who just joined the house of artifacts." The leader said in a calm voice.

"What's so special about him?" the third strongest asked, feeling annoyed to know that the reason the leader called them here was to talk about a mere appraiser.

Hmph!

"The house of Artifact got a master appraiser who managed to turn the tide in their favor. The price of their share has started to skyrocket instead of dropping! He has foiled our plans to destroy the artifact gallery and decrease the reach of the Charlotte family!" The leader explained to them.

"Since that person foiled our plans, should we kill him?" Merciless asked while looking at the leader of the faction.

"Are you stupid? Were you kick in the head by a donkey when you were young?! He's a master appraiser, a master of appraising items and artifacts! And you want to kill such a great person! Dumbass!!" He cussed, signifying everyone to get rid of the thought of killing Joker from their mind.
