Welcome to the Tower (I)

Planet Earth, Somewhere in North America.

It was a cold night as the wind blew, and the moonlight illuminated the darkness of the night. It was a silent night, for someone's taste, too silent and too quiet.

[Congratulations, User Samiel Zentaur, for connecting to the Akashic Records on his own.]

A cold mechanical voice sounded in the man's head. He was already one month on the run from the Army of the United States and the entire group of Exorcists and Professionals for massacring a small Town and raising some of them as Undead.

[As the first person who established a connection in your world and the first person to establish a connection on your own in all existence after 19,246 Years without achieving Legendary Status or outside help, your Achievement has been recorded.]

[Your reward would be calculated slightly after. You can now view your own record.]

Stated the cold mechanical voice as Samiel opened his record and looked at it.

[Name: Samiel Zentaur

Age: 21

Race: Human

Class: Necromancer (36%)

***

Tier: Steel

Level: 15

...]

Earth was the name of Samiel's homeworld. It was a relatively weak world, or rather a very weak world. Mana Density was terrible on the planet, and there are not many strong people on the Earth nowadays.

Samiel obtained the legacy and awakened as Necromancer only by a sheer amount of luck, which he advanced mainly because of his God's help. Few people on Earth awakened as Professionals, and each year that number was getting lower and lower.

All of this resulted in the general weakness of the planet Earth. Magic was on the decline, and Mysteries were dying. Slowly but steadily, everything extraordinary was disappearing from the face of the planet, and soon, only the ordinary would remain.

[Your Reward has been calculated. For further progress on your path, it is recommended to enter the Tower.

You could choose between two options.

1. Nirvana

2. Divine Spark (Path to the Transcendence)

Please choose now.]

'Now, if my analysis is current, then choosing the Divine Spark, I would be able to become God, thus Transcending... but at the same time, at the price that this would almost cut off my future path completely. Not to mention, side effects of Godhood are shit.'

Samiel thought as he pondered the choices provided by the Akashic Records. Akashic Records were neutral regarding rewards from what the records remained on Earth and what his God told him.

If it were giving out something that could basically create an unrivaled powerhouse, even the weakest at that, it would come with a severe price. And Samiel was not really a fan of becoming of God, as that came with a shit ton of side effects and restrictions imposed on God.

'While the first option...'

Thought Samiel, even though he was weak, surprisingly, some pieces of knowledge he got his hands on at his homeworld were pretty detailed and contained much information about the wider world.

Despite the Earth being a weak world, it still has some Legacies. And some of these legacies contained a lot of information about the Cosmos and many other things, and some common sense, one could say.

Appearetnly, Earth was once an important world or whatever, probably.

Of course, because Samiel was a relatively strong person on Earth, he was able to get his hands on many things and thus obtain a rather broad view of things on some issues.

Nirvana.

It was a complete rebirth; of course, if Akashic Records was giving this as a reward, it must be something extraordinary, and it would theoretically mean...

If he were to enter the Tower, which he never did as the planet that he was living on was without an entrance. Thus Samiel was incapable of leaving the planet, and he wanted a new start, a new path.

"I chose the first option."

Stated Samiel after a short pause. While the second option seemed tempting and more powerful, it was not worth it if he were to be stuck at one Level for eternity. Not to mention, he had a hunch that the Divine Spark would be from some weak God, and there were many risks tied to that.

Not to mention the risks of being posses by fusing with foreign Divine Spark were just a tip of the iceberg. Most Gods were corrupted by the very own energy that created them, and it rewrote their entire personality to the shape their worshippers imagined them.

Samiel believed he could achieve Transcendence, given enough time on his own, without external help.

[Your Choice has been accepted.]

[Nirvana has begun.]

Stated the voice belonging to the Akashic Records, as he felt as if strength was leaving his body, and he was soon regressing to the start, to the Iron-Tier. It was a weird feeling as the power was leaving his body, as he was becoming ordinary once more.

Naturally, his knowledge remained, and the skills he learned also remained, but he was weak once again.

He felt exactly the same way when he, three years ago, awakened as Proffesional and obtained his Class. He was undergoing a Class awakening once, more becoming a Dual-Class Bearer; just thought about this filled him with excitement and a feeling of shock.

Dual-Class Bearers were exceedingly rare, and not even one was documented to appear on Earth. From the information he had, a person could only awaken one Class normally. This was basically an unbroken Iron rule, with only very few exceptions.

But under exceptional circumstances, one can awaken either two classes or awaken an additional Class.

[You are currently undergoing Class Awakening.]

[Lord Class Knight of the Niflheim has been awakened.]

[Unique Class Necromancer has been strengthened, the toll of User is lessened, Transcendents with Domain of Death ignore you mainly if you don't touch their acclaimed Souls.]

[Unique Class Necromancer has evolved into Unique Class Grand Necromancer.]

[You have awakened Ultimate Ability, Winter Ruler.]

[You have awakened Ultimate Ability, Soul Devour.]
