1 Transcending

Marcus the name feared by all who played Infinite Legends MMORPG. He was an extreme existence that killed everyone in his path in order to obtain what he wanted.

Everyone that played Infinite Legends knew it stay out of his way and give him what he wanted. But today was his worst day; Marcus was fighting the Demonic Overlord to gain its Soul Shard.

It was his last requirement to Transcend and become an even more frightening existence within the game. As a rank, S+ and Level 70 Magic Swordsman Marcus was certain that he would be able to defeat the Demonic Overlord named Nemesis.

The battle lasted a total of 16 hours before Marcus successfully defeated Nemesis. At that point, the Soul Shard dropped. As soon as he picked it up Marcus began to fuse with the shard to Transcend, but as he did so everything changed for him.

He watched as the world before him changed completely. The graphics and feel of the game became much more real. The usually mundane NPCs were now acting as if they were alive.

Marcus found himself simply standing in the middle of a street watching people go by him. Shock was written all over his face before a message popped up in front of him.

[Congratulations on Transcending player Marcus! In honor of your Transcend, we will now tell you all that you need to know and inform you of your status boosts, as per the rules.]

Shortly after a larger status screen with a massive message popped up in front of Marcus.

[Storyline: A mysterious hero appeared and defeated the Demonic Overlord bringing peace to the humans. The hero shortly disappeared after the killing the overlord, therefor not receiving the praise from the common people. But forever in their hearts he was a Hero. This created the Legend of the Hidden Hero.

After 1000 years a new Demonic Overlord reigns over the Demonic Region with an all new goal: To kill anyone related to the Mysterious Hero that killed the previous Demonic Overlord, his father. Although the Demonic Overlord was killed, the Demonic Generals still remain after all this time. They will forever remember the aura of the man that killed their king.

It is not your job, Marcus, to gain enough power to once again put an end to the Demonic Overlord's reign! You are the future.]

After taking in all of that information Marcus gasped quietly. All of this was the reward for Transcending a single time. Imagine if he was able to Transcend again and reach level 70 again!

But as he took a look through the new skills and titles the one that worried him the most was the Hero's Aura title.

Although it seemed harmless it was obvious that demons would go out of their way to attack him and any human would have the upper vantage against him in any fight.

So Marcus quickly checked his stats by opening the stat window.

After seeing his stats Marcus took a deep breath before reading his stats over again. After confirming that these were really his stats Marcus let out a small laugh. Compared to regular level ones Marcus was several times stronger.

His stats were much higher as they all usually had a base stat of 5. It was unimaginable. Especially when looking at his Mana. Mana is calculated by Intelligence of the player multiplied by five.

It was the only problem Marcus had when fighting strong bosses, his Mana was too low. Now that he started off with 250 Mana instead of 25 it was a massive and essential boost.

A strong sense of adventure surged in Marcus's head. A small smile appeared on his face. Instead of being scared and discouraged Marcus was ready to explore the world before him.
