"Why is this happening??"
Sterl was momentarily stunned, sensing that something was amiss...
This all related to the Underlying logic of the game "Transcendence"—specifically, how it limited players' level caps before each class change.
Sterl felt that there was no point in overthinking it.
At that moment, he was at a critical juncture in refining the Netherworld Water. He had no time to dwell on these complex issues and instead focused on channeling the power of the mystical artifact through his body.
Before long, the invisible shackles he had sensed earlier were completely shattered!
A strange energy flowed from his spine, permeating his entire body.
When he reopened his eyes, the once murky liquid formed from the Netherworld Water had become clear and transparent, like ordinary water.
