arm towards the ground behind him to give him support, he fell over.

Looking at his left arm, he saw more than half of that arm had gone, too.

His fast breathing became shallow as he watched more and more of his left arm disappearing into thin air. He looked at his right arm again and it was also missing more of itself.

He went to stand up, but everything below his ankles was gone now, too. It was all silently disappearing.

As he watched parts of him disappearing, John started screaming and flailing about, trying to stop the process any way he could.

He tried to open the Storage Space to have access to the Life Stones again. He wanted to try and tackle it with his recovery skills that needed Toxin Power to work, but he couldn’t open it no matter how hard he tried.

After his arms and legs were completely gone, it didn’t take long for the stomach and chest to disappear afterwards.

It was just his head laying on the floor now, and he knew that would disappear in a few seconds.

I’ve failed.

Sarah, Kelly, I’m sorry.

His head disappeared after he only thought of those few words.

All that was left now, hovering above the ground, was his soul. It had shrunk due to the compression he needed to do to enter Rank 8, but it lit the whole room with a bright-blue colour.

The soul’s colour started changing from a bright blue to a dark-purple. When it had finished its transformation, the entire floor of the room lit up in the same dark-purple colour. Then, John’s soul disappeared and the floor became dull once more.

John’s soul started sending out small pulses of purple rings before something started growing around it.

The thing growing around it started taking the shape of a brain and soon, a skull wrapped around the newly formed brain. Eyes, teeth, and muscles started to form over the skull before the skin finally wrapped around it.

John woke up when his head was reformed. He looked around to find himself in outer space again. All he could do was move his eyes around, but he could feel his body growing.

His neck and chest area were formed after a minute, allowing him to move his head to look around more. He saw his stomach and arms being generated the same way they had disappeared earlier.

A few minutes later, after his whole body had reformed, he stood up.

What happened? I… disappeared.

How long has passed since then? Was it instant or did hundreds of years pass?

Did I succeed? Am I a Transcendent now?

He kept staring at his hands, wondering what had happened.

Every cell in his body felt alive, dancing with more energy than when they were bathed in vitality from his soul.

When he couldn’t figure out how this happened, he looked around more. He really was back in outer space, but he was standing on a large silver platform which had some mysterious markings scratched into its surface.

In three directions it was nothing but space and stars in the distance, but in the other direction was a huge structure made from the same silver metal he was standing on.

The structure looked like an old European castle, only many times bigger.

Instead of going to take a look at the structure, John opened the system again.

Welcome to the Idle System.

Name: John

Title: Demon

Age: 74

Idlers: 2160/2160

Chaos Pool: 1

Sin: 585,568,651

Misc List:

??? - Idlers 0/2160, ??? 0/1 (Unlocks ???)

The first thing he noticed was both his Life Pool and Toxin Pool counters for the brain and body were gone, and they were replaced by the Chaos Pool.

He looked at that counter for five seconds to see the information.

Chaos Pool:

The accumulated units of Primordial Chaos stored throughout the user’s body.

Primordial Chaos? I have no idea what that is. The system doesn’t say I’ve transcended, but it does look like I have. However, the name is too long, so I’ll call it Chaos Power.

I have no immortality list because I’m not an immortal anymore, but what’s with the only skill I’ve got?

At that moment, at the very bottom of the system, John noticed that there was an update notification.

So, I have transcended and the system has given me the Chaos Power counter and a mysterious skill, but it hasn’t finished updating yet.

John then looked at the skill which only had question marks on it, but even after twenty seconds, nothing showed up.

There’s a way to unlock it, but the system isn’t telling me how. Can’t do anything about it for now. I might as well check where I am and see if I can get some answers.

Title: Transcended

Chapter 30: I Need Your Help

As John walked towards the large castle, he had a flashback to when he first arrived in this universe. The system screwed with his mind and senses, and he didn’t realise he was naked until somebody pointed it out to him. This time was slightly different, but both instances were when his body was reborn. When the flashback was over, he looked down to find himself naked once more.

He looked around wondering where his garments went, only to find his clothes were on the floor behind him.

John thought that when his body disappeared, the clothes he was wearing must have simply dropped off of him. On the contrary, his clothes came with him when he was teleported.

Running back to where he came from, he put all of his clothes back on, including his mask. Afterwards, he turned them back into his regular overcoat look.

At least nobody needs to point out that I’m naked this time. I don’t know if there’s people inside this castle-looking thing, but I hope nobody saw me.

Once he finished getting dressed, he then placed his wedding ring back on his left hand’s ring finger. Staring at the wedding ring, his thoughts went back to what just happened.

I can’t believe I gave up when my body was disappearing! I said sorry to Sarah and Kelly who’d never be able to hear it?
