SPPM: Chapter 1: The Six Paths of Pain Production Template
Planet Aqua-Blue, inside Silveridge City First High School.
The many high school seniors who had just completed the class awakening ceremony were engaged in heated discussions.
Those lucky enough to awaken powerful classes wore bright smiles, their hearts brimming with excitement and anticipation for the future.
Yet, amid the lively crowd, Max felt none of that joy.
Standing at the center of the commotion, he found the excited chatter around him nothing more than an irritating noise.
“I never expected that I would awaken the weakest hidden class… Puppet Master.”
“Without any surprises, I will have to serve as a clerical worker in the rear from now on.”
“I’m really so unwilling!”
Although there was no displeased expression on Max’s face, his heart was filled with deep resentment.
He had expected this for so long, but it turned out to be such a result.
Hidden class…
Puppet Master.
Among tens of thousands of class templates, the probability of awakening this kind of class is far lower than winning the lottery!
And the reason why Max had such a prejudice against himself awakening as a Puppet Master…
It is because the Puppet Master has been recognized by the media in recent years as one of the ten most pit-inducing classes in history.
Not to mention that the strength of the class advancer relies entirely on the puppets produced, after successfully changing classes, it does not bring any direct improvement in strength to the class advancer.
Also, because the Puppet Master cannot leave their own puppets too far away, once they are approached by a class capable of rushing to their face during battle, what they will face is absolutely a devastating disaster!
These reasons basically determined that the Puppet Master cannot become an orthodox combat class.
Surprisingly, it is the same as auxiliary classes like Pharmacists and Tamers that do not require an economic foundation.
As soon as the class template is fused, they can find suitable logistics work in the national rear, and even experienced people can become regular employees on the same day…
The Puppet Master is extremely difficult to master.
Even if one had read a large amount of class information before, it is impossible to create puppets directly, not to mention that the materials for every puppet manufactured need to be paid for out of one’s own pocket.
It can be called the fighter jet among pit-inducing classes…
leaving Max with nowhere to vent his complaints.
“To end up in this state, I might be the most miserable transmigrator in history.”
“Think about those protagonists in the novels of my previous life, they always have all kinds of heaven-defying cheats, but now even if you beat me to death, there is no such thing as a system!”
“Damn!”
The moment Max thought about having just transmigrated to this world not long ago, his heart was filled with thousands of grass mud horses running…
It stands to reason that being in such a state, he would be embarrassed to say that he is a transmigrator.
Logically speaking, if the customs, humanities, and technology here were exactly the same as in his previous life, without a so-called system, for Max, who had long been an orphan, it would just be changing a place to continue lying flat.
But according to what he had learned in the past few months…
Max discovered that it was not peaceful here at all.
Let alone lying flat, even living out the rest of his life safely and steadily could be considered a luxury.
Various unknown dungeons appear out of thin air…
Once the internal space becomes chaotic, the monsters from other worlds existing within will break through the shackles, appear in reality, and cause unimaginable casualties.
In the face of these monsters, human technology alone is useless.
The only way to cope is the power of the class template that individuals awaken when they come of age.
And looking at the current situation, even though the number of people who successfully change classes and become Professionals is increasing year by year…
humanity still does not have the strength to engage with monsters.
In recent years, in order to block the front line and protect logistics personnel…
Forced by helplessness, humans have already built high walls outside the city to resist the invasion of monsters.
“Forget it, let’s think about what to do in the future. If my cheap little sister at home finds out that I awakened as a Puppet Master.”
“I probably won’t be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life!”
Max stopped his reverie, looked at the playground where the crowd was gradually emptying, and simply collected his mood.
In this brief tranquility, he suddenly thought in his heart that after he transmigrated into this world, he seemed to have a sister without blood relationship…
Although the other party was very beautiful and awakened an extremely powerful class template — Holy Light Goddess, she was an object surrounded by crowds wherever she went, and she had already been admitted in advance by the best university before even taking the national exam.
But Max didn’t think so.
He remembered that ever since he knew her, the other party had always liked to talk trash about him.
She would look for fault with him from time to time.
If the other party found out that he had actually awakened as a Puppet Master, then he really wouldn’t be able to hold his head up.
Thinking of this, Max felt even more “painful” inside.
And just at this moment, an untimely electrical sound suddenly sounded in his ear, followed by a blue pop-up window that only Max could see, with neat Chinese characters written on it.
[Ding! Detected that the host has slightly perceived Pain, the system has automatically drawn the Six Paths of Pain production template (revised version) from the Naruto World for you!]
[ps: Manufacturing the Six Paths of Pain through the template provided by this system does not require the Rinnegan and Chakra to control, only mental power needs to meet the standard, and it can be realized like an arm and a finger!]
[Ding! This system has greatly weakened the difficulty of making the Six Paths of Pain, the host only needs to collect the materials required for the template to synthesize and manufacture!]
[Ding! This system automatically awakens the SSS-level talent Living Puppet for the host: All damage suffered by the host will be transferred to the puppet, and the damage will be weakened by 99%. If the puppet is not destroyed, the host will not die.]
Looking at the message pop-up that appeared in front of him, Max was stunned on the spot…
What is this situation!?
Could it be that the golden finger he had been looking forward to for several years had finally arrived!?
This is too awesome!
The huge joy made Max almost forget the content that the system just prompted.
He calmed down on the spot for a long time before realizing that he had actually drawn the Six Paths of Pain production template from the Naruto World!
And the system also directly helped to simplify all the materials needed to make the Six Paths of Pain, allowing him to manufacture it even without the power of Nagato in the original work.
This is simply too cool.
Not to mention…
the SSS talent Living Puppet talent gifted by the system.
Talent things like this seem to only be possessed by those legendary-level class templates!
I didn’t expect that I could also possess it!
And just looking at the introduction of this talent, you know that as long as Max has one puppet in the future, he will not die…
This greatly eased the problem of the Puppet Master’s poor survivability.
Cool!
As for the Six Paths of Pain template that the system gifted because he understood Pain, Max, as a transmigrator, had actually heard of it long ago…
That was the powerful puppet created by Nagato using the Rinnegan in the Naruto World.
Each clone inherited a part of the Rinnegan’s power.
In the early stages of the anime, the term Pain absolutely symbolized a sense of oppression, making people feel a deep suppression!
Thinking of this, Max could not suppress the excitement in his heart, sank his consciousness into the system interface, and began to view the Six Paths of Pain template he had obtained.
[Six Paths of Pain: Deva Path]
[Current template material collection progress: 0%]
[Necessary production materials: Tier 8 Monster Core, Tier 5 Monster Flesh and Blood, Exquisite Energy Spirit Stone…]
[After successful manufacturing, the host will inherit all the Rinnegan abilities of Deva Path Pain.]
…
[Six Paths of Pain: Animal Path]
[Current template material collection progress: 0%]
[Necessary production materials: Tier 7 Monster Core, large amount of monster corpses, energy gathering array…]
[After successful manufacturing, the host will inherit all the Rinnegan abilities of Animal Path Pain.]
…
[Six Paths of Pain: Asura Path]
[Current template material collection progress: 0%]
[Necessary production materials: Tier 2 Monster Core, large amount of monster corpses, technology fragments…]
[After successful manufacturing, the host will inherit all the Rinnegan abilities of Asura Path Pain.]
“Are these the materials needed to make all the Pain after the system has simplified them!?”
“It looks like… this directly allows me to manufacture them without the Rinnegan!”
“And the final annotation explains… as long as I can successfully manufacture one Pain, I can directly inherit the Rinnegan abilities possessed by this Pain!”
“As long as I can finally manufacture all the Pain, then I myself will be equivalent to possessing a pair of Rinnegan!”
Max finished reading all the Six Paths of Pain production templates excitedly, his heart already stirred up monstrous waves, wishing he could collect all the materials and manufacture all the Pain right now.
He was already fantasizing in his mind about the scene where he had collected all the materials and the Six Paths of Pain were standing in front of him…
He didn’t need to make a move himself, and with the blessing of the Living Puppet talent, he didn’t have to be afraid of dying either…
He only needed to stand at the back and watch quietly as Pain eliminated all enemies, waiting to collect the spoils.
Thinking of this, Max was overjoyed, all the haze from the failure at the class advancement ceremony was thrown to the back of his mind, extremely refreshed!
“The goal now is very clear: collect materials and manufacture Pain.”
“Judging from what I just saw, the materials needed to make the Asura Path are the easiest to collect at the moment, the only slightly difficult one is that Tier 2 Monster Core.”
“The market price is as high as… 250,000 alliance coins.”
“It’s equivalent to a middle-class person’s annual salary… but fortunately, the family I transmigrated into has some money, and I usually work to earn money, so if I scrape it together, I should be able to collect enough.”
Max felt a heartache just thinking about the price needed for a Tier 2 Monster Core, but considering that after successfully manufacturing Pain, he could also get a lot of money from clearing dungeons, he gradually put this matter down.
He still understood the principle of taking a risk to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
As long as he could manufacture Asura Path Pain, Max would have the ability to become a combat professional and solo dungeons!
Thinking of this…
Max did not hesitate too much, put his hands in his pockets and headed to the most famous and lively trading street in the local area.
After swiping most of the money on his card, he also satisfactorily bought the materials needed for Asura Path Pain.
He returned home happily, preparing to manufacture the Asura Path as soon as possible.
