Shawn woke up from a nightmare.
He sat on the bed and pondered for a long ti before slowly getting up and walking to the balcony.
"The real world and the Bizarre Realm are probably not in the sa world."
"The miracle of humanity, the Clockwork Nirvana Twelve Realms, is definitely not just about enclosing the real world all this simply."
The current ti is 3:15 AM.
Shawn couldn’t fall back asleep, so he got up, poured himself a small glass of red wine, and stood on the balcony gazing at the distant city. The streetlights of Dorne City turned off at eleven thirty at night, and at this mont, the outside was pitch black. Shawn also didn’t turn on the lights, standing quietly alone on the balcony, staring blankly at the distant night sky.
"In any case, the real world is indeed more suitable for normal human life than the Bizarre Realm."
"Staying in the real world is more suitable for ."
Shawn’s gaze lowered, and suddenly his eyes focused, looking at the lawn not far away. He saw a person in the darkness, with a bandaged left hand, standing straight, holding a black umbrella, hidden in the shadow of the trees.
The midnight dew had already dampened his hat. He patrolled around the apartnt once, and then returned to the original position.
Benjamin Tilian.
In addition to him, Shawn spotted at least two other figures patrolling around his apartnt.
"Are they protecting ?" Shawn’s expression was puzzled.
After confirming the identity of the ’Lady of the House’, the Night Watchers’ headquarters had dispatched the Death Pilgrim in charge of hunting dangerous individuals. Benjamin should be focusing on recovering from his injuries at this ti.
Has sothing stirred up again?
The ’Lady of the House’ that Shawn confronted today might be a mid to high-sequence Transcendent, Assassin path, Shadow sequence, already transford into a non-human race, probably the ’Dark Elf’ of the legendary races.
Lady Hecate suddenly left the cetery.
A large number of low sequence transcendents appeared once again in the real world, and Shawn always felt that things were not that simple.
Sothing might have happened in the Bizarre Realm.
"But with my current strength, it’s impossible to even go out in the Bizarre Realm, with the risk of being killed at any mont."
He must curb his curiosity.
Shawn silently returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began today’s ditation session.
In fact.
In this bizarre world, any ditation practice cannot enhance his power limit, because the source of all Transcendents’ power cos from unnaable ancient existences. For Shawn, the source that affects the caster’s magic power limit depends solely on how much Extraordinary Essence he has digested.
Without undergoing the next stage of ascension rituals, his career scale limit will always be 5, and it’s impossible to ascend to the next sequence with just his efforts.
In the Transcendent system of the turbulent era, when Shawn completes an ascension ritual, the career scale limit of his Extraordinary Sequence will increase by 5.
The mortal limit is twenty Extraordinary Levels.
Once you reach this limit, but your strength is not strong enough, you will beco the ’lowest existence on the food chain’, directly ending up on the nu of evil objects.
Just the sa, before this, you don’t even have the qualifications to enter the food chain list.
"A thief?"
"It should be said to be mites on the body." Shawn thought of the imnse Primitive Magic Power, the part he cut off probably couldn’t even be considered skin flakes.
Just like mites nibbling away a bit of oil from the surface of human skin.
Destiny.
Only then has one the qualification to enter the Bizarre Realm’s ’food chain’.
For this reason, so Transcendents never fuse with a fourth-stage Extraordinary Relic in their lifeti.
Inside the room.
Shawn is now browsing the knowledge he forcibly morized with Reading Magic. From the day he was promoted to the Casting Path, he was destined to be accompanied by knowledge. Moreover, the amount of knowledge he masters also determines the pace at which he digests the Extraordinary Essence inside him.
"The more knowledge, the stronger the Primitive Magic Power, the faster the Extraordinary Essence gets digested."
The promotion system of the Bizarre Realm defies common logic; it’s not about advancing one level after another in the traditional sense.
Upon completing the ascension ritual, cutting Primitive Magic Power, and integrating it into his body, Shawn has already achieved the full magic power limit of a first-stage wizard. The following step is the digestion of Extraordinary Essence.
Because of this, a Transcendent’s loss of control is extrely dangerous since all the Extraordinary Essence inside them will go on a rampage.
"No matter the strength, as long as there’s a loss of control, the erupting power is the limit of the current stage."
"Being a Night Watcher is not easy either!"
Good thing I’m an investigator.
In Shawn’s spiritual world, countless knowledge pieces flew around his body in swirls, all being knowledge downloaded through ’Reading Magic’, already stored in his brain.
Mysterious knowledge is even more peculiar.
In Shawn’s spiritual world, mysterious knowledge is like a shoal of moving fish, requiring him to lock it down bit by bit, then decipher its mysteries. When the mysterious knowledge is fully understood, they converge to form silvery white rune marks.
Currently, there’s only half an incomplete rune mark on Shawn’s body.
The rune marks on Lady Hecate’s splendid black dress far exceed what he comprehends, and Shawn suspects they record a lot of mysterious knowledge.
"Before I learn [Enchantnt]."
"I must accumulate at least three rune marks composed of mysterious knowledge, otherwise, a caster wouldn’t even accomplish an enchantnt. How would I greet peers after leaving ho for later encounters?"
It’s a wrap.
Being a mage isn’t that easy.
Overnight passed.
Shawn felt quite refreshed upon awakening. A Transcendent’s physical fitness was indeed far superior to a mortal’s, even Transcendents of the Casting Sequence are much stronger than normal people.
Of course, the Casting Sequence is still incomparable to Transcendents in the Warrior Series and the Wanderer Series.
Unless Shawn acquires Curios from other sequences.
The kitchen has eggs, and pre-prepared oatal milk. Natural gas has beco widespread in the central area of Dorne City, with monthly bill collectors visiting for paynts, including electricity fees, so the cost of modern life was quite high.
Shawn fried himself a soft-boiled egg.
He prepared oatal with heated milk, opening the cabinet to find sugar, and added just a little.
He carried the plate to the table, just set it down, then rembered sothing, went to check the balcony, and then back to the kitchen to prepare another breakfast.
Just as the door sounded with a knock.
Shawn opened the front door, and saw Benjamin, looking slightly weary. Beside him stood a lovely young girl, aged about fifteen or sixteen, with a head of soft burgundy hair, looking like an adorable girl next door.
"Good morning, Mr. Shawn." Benjamin removed his hat, indicating with a smile.
Shawn placed the plate on the table, extending an invitation with his hand: "Good morning, Benjamin."
"Have you had breakfast?"
He glanced at the girl brimming with curiosity on the side, softly saying, "I’ll prepare another portion."
Benjamin entered the house, courteously saying, "Thank you."
This girl should be the guide Benjamin ntioned yesterday, so Shawn found a pack of bacon in the kitchen and made an additional serving of bacon and fried eggs.
"Hello, I’m Daisy." The girl seed a bit shy.
Her features were very delicate, not very tall, roughly around one and a half ters, with lively eyes, her gaze full of curiosity when looking at Shawn, occasionally a bit shy, giving the impression of a cute little kitten.
Benjamin sat at the table, not feeling restrained; after all, both sides held a life-and-death camaraderie.
"Daisy is a student at Caesar University, sophomore year, from the Del Region, an exchange international student." Benjamin took a sip of milk, implying, "She’s like us."
She is also a Transcendent.
It’s just unclear which path of Transcendence.
"Hello, my na’s Sean." Shawn extended his hand.
He must slowly get accustod to his na in this world; otherwise, it would appear sowhat strange.
When Daisy extended her hand, she seed a bit shy, her delicate face turning slightly red.
"She used to live near the forest, so she’s a bit socially anxious," Benjamin explained. "But she’s very familiar with Dorne City. She has friends all over here."
Social anxiety disorder, a phrase probably coming from an Otherworldly soul.
Friends all over?
A socially anxious person who has friends everywhere?
Shawn looked puzzled.
But soon enough, he understood the aning of the phrase, because when Daisy took him out for a stroll around, she actually stopped and squatted to ask a stray cat for directions.
