Elliot selected a talent as he spoke.
"But this should be as far as he gets. He probably still has his middle-rank Ascension task unfinished, so he won't reach fourth rank."
Every Path's Ascension task was difficult.
Only Vanessa's Gaze at the Starry Sky had been easy to complete, thanks to the Difference Engine eliminating the risk.

But what was [Dominate History 1/1] about?!
Vanessa had completed this hidden task too. At the time, Elliot had guessed that
