Cosmic Peak

Chapter 144 – Power Up-1 (not Edited Yet)

"I am not dreaming, right?" Aren muttered as he looked at his current luck status.

[Aren]

Current Luck: 99

Lifespan: 150

*thud..*

"Sorry…," Aren said as he mistakenly hit someone\'s shoulder in a hurry as he arrived at the teleportation gate.

The person he hit was someone that knew Aren. She was none other than the girl with the tri-colored mystical bow. She was at the DeeQueen\'s swamp.

"Wait, you…" the girl spoke, but Aren had already left through the teleportation gate.

"His body\'s aura was in disorder, and his body\'s spirit energy was not flowing correctly. It seemed like he lost his meridians," the girl muttered and shook her head, "pity."

Her eyes then turned indifferent as she looked at the manager of this stone-cutting gamble, \'you better tell me what I want to know.\'

As she continued on her path to get revenge, Aren left the gambling den and hurried towards the inn with his full speed.

However, he suddenly stopped on the way as he saw a board…

[Private Meditation House]

[250 gold coins per hour, increase your spinergy method\'s training speed while practicing inside.]

"Private…," Aren muttered as he rushed towards that giant building and entered inside.

He finished the procedure hurridly and added ten hours to the meditation card by paying 2500 gold coins.

Afterward, he was led to another place through a teleportation gate and arrived at an open-air grassy land with many small houses in star positions and a small pond in the center in each of those star plots.

Aren saw no.14 on his card, entered the no.14 house, and locked it before taking out the cube [Celestial Ichor Prototype EZ-111], and without hesitation, he infused 100 armalist force, 100 soul energy in the cube and dropped a drop of his blood on it.

The cube started shining with a dreamy blue glow with lapis blue sparks before the cube automatically flew towards Aren\'s forehead and entered inside his body.

Aren felt nothing for a second before his eyes rolled backward, and he lost his consciousness.

After two seconds, countless tiny vein-like patterns appeared on Aren\'s body. These patterns were not veins but something else because they were very tiny, way tinier than veins, and covered Aren\'s entire body.

Aren\'s body twitched continuously for the next five seconds before black matter oozed out from his pores.

Afterward, a shining dreamy liquid with blood red and blue sparks in it came out from Aren\'s pores, eyes, nose, ears before entirely covering him.

A strange thing happened after this unknown liquid covered Aren\'s entire body into something like a cocoon.

The body mass of Aren, who was not visible from outside, started thinning.

The cocoon automatically moved, and it took weird shapes not possible by Aren as if his body had turned liquid.

Aren was not conscious at this moment. His mind\'s switch has been forcefully turned off, and his soul has been put into hibernate state by the cube.

Unfortunately, the entire process wouldn\'t finish while Aren is unconscious as he will have to suffer pain and overcome it with his will to succeed.

The cocoon took weird shapes for an hour before finally it stopped and adopted a simple shape of Aren sleeping on the mattress.

At this moment, Aren also regained his consciousness…

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…….."

The cocoon trembled as a painful howl reverberated inside the small house. But this voice didn\'t go outside as the structure of this house was built that way. It was private and safe both.

\'Arghhh…T-this pain, fuck!\' Aren cursed as he was feeling only one thing. Pain. He couldn\'t even feel his body, but he was feeling pain in his mind and soul.

After screaming to relive this strange pain, Aren finally calmed down after five minutes as the pain slowly subsided, and he started feeling his body again.

[35% of the whole process has been completed.]

[As you have regained your consciousness, you will have to choose some options.]

[Your existence is lower, and you have no bloodline of your own. So, you will have to select another bloodline to finish the rest of the process after ten minutes once you start to feel your new body completely.]

[As your existence is lower, only the first Gene lock will be opened for now, and that too once you breakthrough and become a supreme-existence]

Aren still couldn\'t move his body, but at least he could feel it.

After five minutes, he started to feel the internals of his body clearly and could even see his inner space by focusing again.

Once ten minutes passed, he could move his body again and finally opened his eyes as he saw a beautiful dreamy sky full of red and blue stars.

\'Stars? What\'s going on?\' Aren was confused. He tried to move his hands and legs but failed.

However, after a second, a display appeared inside his head. Naturally, it was the status detail of this sky full of red and blue stars that his Astral-X eyes collected.

[Celestial Ichor Transformation Cocoon]

-???

-???

\'Cocoon? So I am inside a cocoon. It should be the work of that cube,\' Aren thought.

After five seconds, the cocoon slowly started melting and entered inside Aren\'s body.

[Please select a bloodline catalyst for the 2nd process within 1 hour, or your body will disintegrate, and you will die as it will be unable to maintain its form without a powerful bloodline as a base.]

[You can either add this bloodline catalyst in your 1st Gene slot or make it your main base bloodline.]

[Once the 2nd process is completed. The final process will start, which will require you to break through.]

Aren first checked his body status. Everything was the same except for his stats.

[Stats]

Strength: ~

Constitution: ~

Agility: ~

Soul: 116

Of course, his meridians had healed, and his spirit energy pool was full.

He could even feel very energized right now and wished that this process ends here, but..that shitty message left no choice for him.

"Maybe the stats are like that because this process is not finished yet," Aren muttered before a helpless expression appeared on his face, and he took out a mystical orb from his inventory.

It was the Bloodline Orb.

"In the end, I will have to use it," Aren muttered, but then he shook his head, "even if I use it, It will not become my main thing.. I will simply add it into whatever that gene slot is."
