After becoming accustod to this otherworldly feeling, Cassius checked out his Premier Training Equipnt. It was the Equipnt directly upgraded from the Newbie 10 Equipnt Set, and though it looked like nothing special at first—being invisible and all—its aesthetics totally changed when 'Incognito Mode' was switched off.
Draped over Cassius like the garnts of a low-key champion was a thin yet ludicrously robust set of black armor. The armor also had crimson and gold streaks scattered about, adding an air of regality. Moreover, the boots and gauntlets had a little sothing, sothing more to them—purple lightning bolts—the active kind that crackled and sparked with high voltage.
The Premium Training Set also had a draconic, vampiric feel to it, clearly taking upon the characteristics of both races with the way the armor's subtle ornants were decorated. Though, overall, it was the quality of shadow that took hold of the armor's central aesthetic, even captivating the one who wore it.
The sa aesthetic was applied to his new and improved Premium Training Sword—a sword that was no longer made of wood. It was now made from an unknown material, one that felt impervious to everything in the Universe. The sword stuck to his back, pulsating with ludicrous levels of restrained power, just waiting to bring annihilation to the world.
"It appears that my Shadow Monarch's Hoodie has fused into the Premium Training Equipnt Set," Cassius said with an acute gleam. "There's also the included aspects of my various races present as traces in the armor and sword's designs. Even my Fundantal Physique and Azura Refinent Physique can be felt from certain parts. This armor…and this sword…"
Just like him and his Will, his Premium Training Equipnt Set was evolvable. Furthermore, it was also sothing that contained within its fabrics and edges everything that he was. And if the item's description was correct, then it also ant anything else in the future that'd elevate his existence would also be infused into the Equipnt Set.
An infinitely evolving item, one with infinite potential. Like owner, like owned.
"This is certainly better than I thought it'd be," Cassius said as he inspected his armor and sword in a slightly fanatical manner. "However, once I leave the White Space, I don't want to attract too much unnecessary attention. Therefore, turn on Incognito Mode."
The Premium Armor and Sword followed his command and returned to being invisibly attached to his being. A layer of intangible protection was added to him, one that even the strongest among the SSS-Rank would find extrely difficult to fully break.
"Good," Cassius said with a satisfied nod. "Now I can look at the Infinite Character Developnt Dinsion and the CD Points."
However, seeing as the latter subject was virtually impossible to test without an appropriately powerful opponent, the Infinite Character Developnt Dinsion beca his pri focus. He called upon it right away, with his mind, body, and soul instantly being transported across complex layers of space. Ti in the White Space froze, similar to the ti in the Ascension Tower and the Nightmarescape.
When Cassius was allowed to open his eyes once more, he saw a vast, picturesque world that looked as if it ca straight out of a painting. Magical Elents were present everywhere, with the wildest in one's fantasies becoming the norm. Birds larger than mountains and ants the size of hos road the endlessly expansive lush land.
Giant behemoths like these were commonplace, and yet there were more; hunting these colossal creatures with crude, primitive weapons were humanoids. They wore barely any clothing, sotis not even hiding the essentials that one would in modern society. Leaving their lips was a language that Cassius couldn't understand; at least, that was until a number of his Translation Skills were activated.
However, more interesting than their useless chatter had to be their strength. Even soone who looked to be a young female was capable of taking on the ho-sized ants on her own.
What Cassius was seeing seed so unrealistic that he even forgot to understand his own situation. Before worrying about the strength of unknown beings who appeared mostly human, he should be far more concerned with the fact that he could barely stand.
"!?!?"
But when he finally realized what was happening, his eyes imdiately widened. "The gravity here!?" he said in utter astonishnt. "How can it possibly be so much greater than the Land of Beginnings!? And this is with the newest 10,000% Reduction to most forms of damage!"
The idea that re gravity could oppress soone with strength nearing the peak of the SSS-Rank was… It just didn't make any sense!
This notion also brought to his attention the humanoids currently embroiled in battle with a pack of those ants. They seed to be winning, but that was not the point! It was that they could move and even fight to such a degree to begin with that left Cassius reeling in shock!
"Exactly how powerful do you have to be to jump hundreds of ters off the ground under this sort of insane pressure…?" Cassius's voice—becoming more stifled—verged upon collapse. "M-M… My body as well…"
Even after reducing the weight of his Premium Equipnt Set to virtually nil, he wouldn't be able to last much longer on the cliff top he was kneeling on. Although his existence wasn't worth enough to crack the cliff, it was still enough to imprint his bloodied knees into the dirt.
Just as his consciousness started to fade, a peculiar System Notification graced the eyes that were dearly struggling to remain open.
*Ding!*
[Because of the unique environnt of this world, you have awakened with the EX Rank Physique 'Unequal Earthborn' - the Physique that every sentient being in the Infinite Character Developnt Dinsion is born with!]
[But would you be the Host if you weren't the least bit unique? Due to the effects of your Character Architect Class, your Unequal Earthborn Physique will progress 100 tis faster than normal!]
Cassius's mind blanked as soon as a dinking indicator rang out for his rapidly advancing Unequal Earthborn Physique.
— Ten Minutes Later, not long after the Main Hunting Squad of Bonecliff Village finished up their battle with a group of Mutated Fire Ants —
*Thud, thud, thud.*
The heavy footsteps of a burly, barbaric-looking man resounded. The owner of these footsteps was the first one to approach what appeared to be a corpse at the lip of a high-hanging cliff. A little girl of around 8 years old bounced behind the burly man; she curiously peeked around his hips, her prehistoric ribbon bouncing with every hop. There also seed to be a polished fishbone keeping her light brown hair up and away from her cute-as-a-button face.
Who were these two...?
