It was a cold night as the wind blew, and the moonlight illuminated the darkness of the night. It was a silent night, for someone''s taste, too silent and too quiet.


    [Congrattions, User Samiel Zentaur, for connecting to the Akashic Records on his own.]


    A cold mechanical voice sounded in the man''s head. He was already one month on the run from the Army of the United States and the entire group of Exorcists and Professionals for massacring a small Town and raising some of them as Undead.


    [As the first person who established a connection in your world and the first person to establish a connection on your own in all existence after 19,246 Years without achieving Legendary Status or outside help, your Achievement has been recorded.]


    [Your reward would be calcted slightly after. You can now view your own record.]


    Stated the cold mechanical voice as Samiel opened his record and looked at it.


    [Name: Samiel Zentaur


    Age: 21


    Race: Human


    ss: Necromancer (36%)


    ***


    Tier: Steel


    Level: 15


    ...]


    Earth was the name of Samiel''s homeworld. It was a rtively weak world, or rather a very weak world. Mana Density was terrible on the, and there are not many strong people on the Earth nowadays.


    Samiel obtained the legacy and awakened as Necromancer only by a sheer amount of luck, which he advanced mainly because of his God''s help. Few people on Earth awakened as Professionals, and each year that number was getting lower and lower.


    All of this resulted in the general weakness of the Earth. Magic was on the decline, and Mysteries were dying. Slowly but steadily, everything extraordinary was disappearing from the face of the, and soon, only the ordinary would remain.


    [Your Reward has been calcted. For further progress on your path, it is rmended to enter the Tower.


    You could choose between two options.


    1. Nirvana


    2. Divine Spark (Path to the Transcendence)


    Please choose now.]


    ''Now, if my analysis is current, then choosing the Divine Spark, I would be able to be God, thus Transcending... but at the same time at the price that this would almost cut off my future pathpletely. Not to mention, side effects of Godhood are shit.''


    Samiel thought as he pondered the choices provided by the Akashic Records. Akashic Records were neutral regarding rewards from what the records remained on Earth and what his God told him.


    If it were giving out something that could basically create an unrivaled powerhouse, even weakest at that, it woulde with a severe price. And Samiel was not really a fan of bing of God, as that came with a shit ton of side effects and restrictions imposed on God.


    ''While the first option...''


    Thought Samiel, even though he was weak, surprisingly, some pieces of knowledge he got his hands on at his homeworld were pretty detailed and contained much information about the wider world.


    Despite the Earth being a weak world, it still has some Legacies. And some of these legacies contained a lot of information about the Cosmos and many other things, and somemon sense, one could say.


    Appearetnly, Earth was once an important world or whatever, probably.


    Of course, because Samiel was a rtively strong person on the Earth, he was able to get his hands on many things and thus obtain a rather broad view of things on some issues.


    Nirvana.


    It was aplete rebirth; of course, if Akashic Records was giving this as a reward, it must be something extraordinary, and it would theoretically mean...


    If he were to enter the Tower, which he never did as the that he was living on was without the entrance. Thus Samiel was incapable of leaving the, and he wanted a new start, a new path.


    "I chose the first option."


    Stated Samiel after a short pause. While the second option seemed tempting and more powerful, it was not worth it if he were to be stuck at one Level for eternity. Not to mention, he had a hunch that the Divine Spark would be from some weak God, and there were many risks tied to that.


    Not to mention the risks of being posses by fusing with foreign Divine Spark were just a tip of an iceberg. Most Gods were corrupted by the very own energy that created them, and it rewrote their entire personality to the shape their worshippers imagined them.


    Samiel believed he could achieve Transcendence given enough time on his own, without external help.


    [Your Choice has been epted.]


    [Nirvana has begun.]


    Stated the voice belonging to the Akashic Records, as he felt as if strength was leaving his body, and he was soon regressing to the start, to the Iron-Tier. It was a weird feeling as the power was leaving his body, as he was bing ordinary once more.


    Naturally, his knowledge remained, and the skills he learned also remained, but he was weak once again.


    He felt exactly the same way when he three years ago awakened as Proffesionist and obtained his ss. He was undergoing a ss awakening once, more bing a Dual-ss Bearer; just thought about this filled him with excitement and a feeling of shock.


    Dual-ss Bearers were exceedingly rare, and not even one was documented to appear on Earth. From the information he had, a person could only awaken one ss normally. This was basically an unbroken Iron rule, with only very few exceptions.


    But under exceptional circumstances, one can awaken either two sses or awaken an additional ss.


    [You are currently undergoing ss Awakening.]


    [Lord ss Knight of the Niflheim has been awakened.]


    [Unique ss Necromancer has been strengthened, the toll of User is lessened, Transcendents with Domain of Death ignore you mainly if you don''t touch their acimed Souls.]


    [Unique ss Necromancer has evolved into Unique ss Grand Necromancer.]


    [You have awakened Ultimate Ability, Winter Ruler.]


    [You have awakened Ultimate Ability, Soul Devour.]
