The Unlimited Ascension: Reborn as an Extra

[Ding! The Trial ’Wisdom’ has been successfully completed!]

[Ding! You have remained humble and chose wisdom over power.]

[Ding! You have taken a massive step forward on your path.]

[Ding! You have completed the trials while understanding the core meaning behind them.]

[Distributing rewards according to contribution rate...]

[Ding! Your overall stats have been boosted significantly!]

[Ding! You have successfully completed your Last Trial of Stage 2!]

[Analyzing your overall contribution rate according to the trial...]

[Ding! Core Value ’Red’ Detected...!]

[Analyzing your overall trial fulfillment rate...]

[Ding! You have obtained a Red Star!]

As the system’s words fell, the space tore open right above Alen’s body. Rays of brilliant silver light fell from the fracture, descending directly onto his figure. A silver glow expanded across his body, illuminating the surrounding crystal hall.

Suddenly, his striking Azure eyes deepened as a pitch-black concentric ring with a cross-shaped pattern appeared within his pupils. The Red Star manifested securely inside his body.

A bright silver glow emitted from the pitch-black shade on one arm of the faint, seven-pointed Star marking his palm.

His body began to eagerly absorb the silver light, and he felt the Star merge warmly with his very soul.

’Sigh... I thought I would have gotten a ’Black’ Star, but it seems in order to get the Black Star, I have to conquer the trials exceptionally well and much faster. Let’s not get depressed over it, I will think about the rest later...’

[Ding! You have broken through the limits of a Walker!]

[Ding! You have become a ’PathSeeker’!]

[Ding! Your celestial body has been leveled up to Star-2!]

[Ding! Your overall physique has been developed to the next level!]

[Ding! Your overall skills and abilities have been ranked up to a large extent!]

[Ding! Your mana capacity has been increased tremendously!]

[Ding! Your passive ability ’Charm’ has been upgraded to Charm (★★)!]

[Ding! You have broken through your potential limit. You have achieved your new potential!]

[Awakening the special power of your Star...]

As the silver glow continuously absorbed into his body, Alen looked at his screen, hoping to get a good reward from the rune.

’Hmm, it seems this time the world is not restricting my awakening. It seems only Ascenders who get a Black Star are restricted by the Universe. Well, can’t complain about that...’

[Ding! You have awakened your second Supreme Ability: ’Levitation’!]

[Ding! Due to your sudden growth, the restriction placed by the ’Order’ of the ’Universe’ on your bond has been lessened...]

[Ding! Your bond with Godless has been enhanced to a large extent!]

[Ding! Your overall stats and mana capacity have been increased significantly!]

[Ding! Your control over mana has been increased!]

[Ding! Congratulations ’Outlier’ for your second step toward Ascension!]

The pillar of bright silver light slowly began to thin out as all of the energy absorbed into his form, making his body feel lighter and infinitely stronger. He felt like he had just gotten a fresh, hot water bath after years of wandering around in the dirt. His mana core, as well as its purity, had been enhanced to a massive extent.

If he took note of his form, his body had become stronger and more handsome. Not the bulky kind of strong, but leaner, with tightened muscles and compressed strength. Along with his delicate, handsome face, his skin had become softer, almost like a baby’s.

’Sigh... It seems this time, I definitely have to find some good mask to hide my face, or I will never get to live a normal life...’

’What a pain. Other people cry wishing for a handsome face, but here I am, desperately wanting to avoid getting any prettier.’

[Do you want to check your Supreme Ability ’Levitation’?]

[Y / N]

As he looked at the prompt for his next Supreme Ability, he felt a sudden thrill to check it. He had read in the library at the Veridius mansion about Supreme Abilities. A Supreme Ability wasn’t just a reward specially granted to Black Star individuals; it was an ability which only a few individuals got through sheer luck, independent of the Star’s value.

Even the power difference between a Black Star and a Red Star was not much of a gap. The only thing that differentiated the Black Star from the Red Star was its unique, universe-breaking power, which could only be obtained to one person in the entire universe.

That was why they were so rare and hard to find. Other than that, their base power levels were nearly the same.

Alen waited patiently for the description of his new Supreme Ability to be revealed.

[Ding!]

[Supreme Ability: Levitation]

[Description: You possess absolute authority over the force that governs elevation and descent. Nothing is truly bound to the ground in your presence. You can freely manipulate the state of weight, allowing yourself, others, objects, and even phenomena to rise, fall, or remain suspended according to your will. As your mastery increases, the concept of ’Gravity’ itself becomes increasingly insignificant before you!]

[Core Abilities:

•Absolute Levitation: Freely suspend yourself, others, objects, or entire structures in the air without being bound by gravity.

•Weightless Existence: Remove the weight of anything you touch, allowing any object to become as light as a feather.

•Gravitational Reversal: Reverse the direction of gravity within a designated area, causing everything within it to fall upward instead of downward.

•Heavenly Descent: Instantly increase the downward force acting upon a target, violently crushing them toward the ground or dragging them from the sky.

•Aerial Dominion: Gain freedom of movement in the air. Move in any direction without inertia, momentum, or physical restrictions.

•Falling Star: Force a target or object into an accelerated descent, turning anything from a small stone to an entire mountain into a devastating projectile.

•Suspended World: Freeze everything within a chosen area in midair, preventing movement.

•Weight of Existence: Temporarily increase the ’weight’ of a target’s existence itself, making even powerful beings struggle to move, fly, teleport, or resist your authority.

As Alen looked at his status, he couldn’t feel any happier.

’It was worth the effort of spontaneously participating in this trial. My power has been increased to at least double my previous limits. If I engaged with those city Walkers right now, I could just immediately kill them in a second, without even letting them blink.’

Without waiting for another second, Alen checked his status window to see the full extent of his new power upgrade.

’Status Window... Open!’

Alen looked at his status, and he couldn’t help but be attracted to his increased stats. They had jumped to a massive extent; even his MP and HP had increased so much. All of his pain and effort passing the trials had been worth it.

Just as he was busy looking at the screen, the space swirled around as two dimensional gates opened in the silent library. Alen immediately pulled back his gaze, not wanting to remain in the illusion of becoming stronger and becoming arrogant. He knew that even if he had grown powerful, there were people existing in this world who were far more powerful than him. Until he stood on the very top, there was always going to be someone looking down at him.

So, instead of just being happy and cheering for his success, he chose to move forward and walk on his path. He had learned and understood one major thing from this stage. True wisdom would never be simply chosen or decided by a choice; it had to be imprinted on a person’s instincts and their heart. The path he would choose was never going to be an easy one with no danger. In order to grow, a person has to walk through the path of fire to burn his own skin, just to become strong enough to burn the whole world.

With a final satisfied nod, he entered inside the Green gate, choosing to exit the trial.

All he wanted to do right now was eat some good, tasteless food, and sleep nicely in a soft bed while clutching a pillow.

***

[A/N: So, with this Chapter, Stage 2 of the Ascension Realm has been successfully conquered by our protagonist!

Sorry, everyone. Due to some personal work, I won’t be able to update the Chapters regularly for the next one or two weeks. However, I’ll try my best not to completely pause the novel’s updates. So, thank you for reading this novel!

I sincerely wish for your heartfelt support. (Of course, it could also be in the form of a Gift... Hehe, but it’s not mandatory.)
