"…." Looking at the screen bar in front of his eyes , Sun Jin - Hoo doubted his eyes . Rubbing his eyes and confirming 20 + times only than did he felt that this life was worth living.
In the world , there are [ Dungeons ] , [ Lairs ] , [ Towers ] and many thing ruled by monsters and demons , but at the same time there is this thing called [ System ] that awakes after a person manage to touch a specific power that resides inside them. That power is known as [ Enlightenment ].
Looking at his [ System ] that finally awoke after 20 years of his birth , he didn't know what to say ?
He felt like crying , he felt like laughing, he felt like dancing.
But in the end , he just sighed and smiled. Sun Jin - Hoo was an average guy that works in labour and construction sides.
But today he finally managed to become [ Awaken ] . In this world there are countless [ Awakens ] and more than them are [ Skills ] that they use .
There are 3 ways to learn [ Skills ] .
1 , Level up to higher [ Awakens ].
2 , Loots from killing monsters.
3 , buy [ Skill Board ] from the mercanary guild.
" I finally manage to become an [ Awaken ]. But what is this Class called [ Grandmaster of Upgrading ] ?" He was confuse since he hasn't heard this Class at all in his entire life .
But he was answer by the [ System ].
《 [ Grandmaster of Upgrading ] 》

Effect : Max Upgrade : An Ability to Upgrade anything that you want to their Max Level .
Note : Only Your Belonging are effected by this Ability. Grandmaster of Upgrading , was a greedy and selfish man in his whole life .
***
What the fuck !! Doesn't that simply means I can just buy a F - Rank Skill and just use it after Upgrading it to S - Rank ?
Since he has only heard Skills upto S - Rank , he thought S - Rank was the Apex .
He was inside his bedroom , wearing pajama while sleeping on the bed . He felt little curiosity , does this skill even really works ?
Wait !! Am I being scammed here by this [ System ] ?
No , no , but …I have never heard about something that can Upgrade Skills directly to S - Rank .
But it's worth trying.
He was feeling nervous since this [ Skill ] was too good to be true.
A [ Skill ] that can help you Advance even F - Rank Skills into S - Rank .
He stood up and walked to his table that was placed inside his room. Pulling the drawer , he took out a small Stone Board that was suppose to be [ Skill Board ] that was gifted by his elder sister in his 18th birthday , 2 years ago.
He looked at the [ Skill Board ] and was able to see the description of the Skill.
[ Fire Ball ]

A type of Fire Skill that allows the user to shoot Fireballs .
Mana Cost : 10 per shoots
Damage : F Rank Damage
****
《 Do you want to learn the Skill ? 》
[ Yes ] [ No ]
****
Looking at the two transparent buttons in front of him , Sun Jin - Hoo gulped his saliva and said "my elder sister is D - Rank [ Awaken ] which was the reason she bought this for me . Normally F - Rank Skill costs in the range of 200 000 Dollars but thank to her , even though I cannot afford one , I can at least have one . I love you sis , for this "
He touched the [ Yes ] button and prayed " oh god , let my Skill be real and not fake . S - Rank Skill , if it's true than I am the Son of 9 Heaven "
A bright light shone from the [ Skill Board ] before a wave of Notifications appeared in front of his eyes.
《 Congratulation to Sun Jin - Hoo for learning your very first F - Rank Skill , [ Fire Ball ]》
《 Skill [ Max Upgrade ] has activated 》
《 [ Fire Ball ] is going through [ Max Upgrade ]》
《 Congratulation Sun Jin - Hoo for obtaining a [ God - Rank ] Skill 》

Mana Cost : 0.1
Damage : D - Rank ( Since user doesn't have high Magic Power , this Spell can't show it's full capacity as Deity Flame .)
***
Huh !!
After reading the description of the Skill , Sun Jin - Hoo felt like his perception of world was upside down .
God - Rank !!
Even S - Rank Spells are enough to destroy 3rd / 10th of country in single strike. So how strong is this God - Rank ? He couldn't help but use all the Attribute Points on Magic Power to strengthen his Magic Strength.
Magic Power was the prowess of your Magic. The higher it is , the more destructive it will turn .
As for how he got those Attribute Points , even he didn't know so he didn't tried to pry into it for now.
Magic power : 10 ( F [ + ] - Rank ) 》》 Magic power : 20 ( E - Rank )
And as for the Skill.
Damage : D - Rank ( Since user doesn't have high Magic Power , this Spell can't show it's full capacity as Deity Flame .) 》》》 Damage : C - Rank ( Since user doesn't have high Magic Power , this Spell can't show it's full capacity as Deity Flame .)
Satisfied and confuse with all of this , Sun Jin - Hoo sat on the bed while his expression was filled with disbelief.
"No , no , no " he shook his head and slapped his cheeks with his both palms before telling himself "must be a dream "
But nevermind , he stretched his right arm in front and tried to summon the Flame.
"Zzz" a golden Flame with Divine Aura , covered in Heavenly power lit up above his palm. Watching the golden Flame , Sun was unable to hold his excitement before he cried out loud " oh yeah !! This is what I call luck ."
" I can wield C - Rank Skill , means I can go hunt C - Rank Threat and level up faster than those other [ Awakens ]" giggling like a mad man he thought ' I am the lucky dog , haha…'
His expression was so freaking wicked that whoever saw him would think he is [ Bastard or Pervert ].
********
Walking down from a stairs , a young man in his 20 wearing black hood zip up jacket and tight blue pant , came down. The man stood in front of his apartment before inhaling long breath and said with a smile " why do I feel like world is in my grasp ?"
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
He was getting impatient , he wanted to test his God - Rank Skill as soon as possible.
" let's see where I should go ?" He pounder for a while before he thought of a place.
" let's go to [ Frozen City ] and enter C - Rank Dungeon for now "
*****
[ Frozen City ] , in 3012 , The City was still called [ Glory City ] but one day suddenly without a warning , like a lava , there was eruption of Ice Volcanos !!
Lands began to raise in the hight of huge hills and medium range mountains , and took shape of a volcanos before exploding ice in liquid form . Since that day , it is frozen like Antarctica on our Earth.
Thus gaining the new name [ Frozen City ] . [ Frozen City ] was not that far from [ Song City ]. Only 3 cities away .
Ridding cab , Sun was heading toward the [ Frozen City ] . After an 2 hours later , he finally arrived the city . It was already February 03 , month of winter and was cold but it was more colder in [ Frozen City ] .
Getting out of the cab and paying the money , he looked around. Everything was icy and icicle. Snows were falling while temperature was many time lower even compare to mountains.
[ Frozen City ] was called city because it used to be city once so it wasn't an actual city right now. The cab only helped him to reach the [ Frozen City ] and didn't enter the land.
In [ Frozen City ] , there are only Cold type monsters found. This place would have been destroyed by the government if it wasn't a [ Territory Type Dungeon ] and also just a C - Rank Dungeon.
Just after he entered the land , he was notified by the [ System ].
《 You have entered the Territory of [ Yin King ]》
《 Only by defeating 1 [ Yin King ] can you leave the Territory of [ Yin King ] 》
"Oh !!" He has never entered a Dungeon before and only seen it in Internet . So it was his first time but there was one notification from [ System ] which surprised him.
《 [ Grandmaster of Upgrading ] , Side Ability has been activated 》
《 Fearless Soul 》
Passive Skill
Grandmaster of Upgrading was a very Fearless Spirt that even didn't fear gods and devils . He was known for many thing in his time , and one was for his Bravery and Boldness.

Condition : You need to kill 3 targets before activating [ Slaughterhouse ].
****
" Wow ! I didn't knew that ….but it's too cool. Whoever this Grandmaster of Upgrading was , I am starting to feel deep respect for him" Sun said in admiration. A man that didn't even feel fear for Gods and Devils. What a brave man he was .
《 The Spirit of [ Grandmaster of Upgrading ] has felt a deep admiration and respect for him from you.》
《He wants to pass one of his a legacy to you 》
《 Do you want to accept the one of his legacy ? 》
Sun rubbed his eyes before he confirmed that it was not a joke or some dream but real.
"Of course I want to" he soon replies hastily.
《 Choose one 》
《 Great Alchemy 》
《 Great Forging 》
《 Great Martial Art 》
《 Great Medicine Master 》
《 Great Formation Master 》
《 Great Inscription Master 》
《 Great Rune Master 》
《 Great Painting Master 》
《 Since [ Grandmaster of Upgrading ] was an extremely greedy and envious person , he wanted everything that exist in the world . It was also his Rise and Downfall 》
《 Select One 》
Sun was truly surprised. This was a pseudo - Omnipotent Existence. Look , look , he has almost everything to pass on me yet I can only select one .
Damn this is quite frustrating .
What should I choose ?
…..?
..…?
……?
He walked while thinking what he should choose ?
While walking around he saw many C - Rank [ Awakens ] and [ Raid parties ] fighting those monsters.
I don't need Alchemy for now because I am not in need of potions or anything. Neither inscription or formations. No medicines and all ....but as an [ Awaken ] , I always need to put my life on the line . I don't have battle experience in real life so I will go for martial art.
《 You Have Chosen [ Great Martial Art ] legacy 》
《 [ Great Martial Art ] legacy will be imparted to you 》
Suddenly Sun felt like he was living not his life but someone else. He was born , experienced childhood , grew up , fought , learned, seek and sought , desired and wished for strength. He began to devour all the battle experience of [ Grandmaster of Upgrading ]. He not lived only 10 or 20 years but lived 3000 years !! He mentally matured because of the battle experience that he devoured from the [ System ].
His eyes now looked that of a predator that would prey his target calmly and patiently.
" this is beyond miracle "
He said in disbelief. He looked at his [ Ability ].
[ Ability ] : Great Demon Art , Deity Heaven Art , Devil Art , Human Ascension Art , Universal Orbit Art , Nine Yin Nine Yang Art , Serenity Beast Art , Hell Deity Art
Note : Since they are from your Class Legacy , you need to learn them taking time and can't be learned directly like Skills in [ Skill Board ] .
****
He was able to understand all those Arts but what made him surprised was [ Human Ascension Art ].
[ Human Ascension Art ]
Legendary Rank

Moves : Breathing Meditation , Worldly Strength , Time - Space Step , Void Attacks , Incorporeal Defense, Ascension
****
He looked at the [ Breathing Meditation ] and sat on one of an empty spot where no one could disturb him .
Sitting cross legged , he closed his eyes and began to feel the surrounding.
Closing his sense for mundane world , he began to feel his surrounding only. Wind , air , trees that has frozen , humans around and monsters too. His layer of skin , his hairs , his inner organs.
Slowly thick layers of Ki began to cover his body , his whole body was gently getting coater in Ki . Kinetic Energy or Internal Energy , Spiritual Energy or even life Force , you could call it anything since it's Inner Energy that Sun was able to feel.
《 You have learned [ Ki ] to Initial Stage 》
《 Ki 》
Energy
Natural Energy
A mysterious energy that exist in every living beings body .
Effect : + 10 in every [ Status ]
****
Opening his eyes slowly , he looked at his arms and felt immense strength and powers running inside his veins .
He said in amazement " I feel like I am a god right now . Is this the feeling of being ignorant ?" He didn't let this newfound power sweep his thought and become arrogant. After that 3000 years old battle experience from the [ legacy ] , he understood that he wasn't strong yet .
His current [ Status ]

***
" I am already F [ +++ ] - Rank . It must be because I have 1 F [ ++ ]- Rank ( Stamina ) , 1 F [ +++ ]- Rank ( Mental Strength ) and finally 1 E - Rank ( Vitality ) Status. I heard that even if we have Attributes Points , we can't add them in [ Attribute Points ]. we need some requirement to be fulfill since it not only increase our Mp but also Lifespan. "
He thought what could the requirements be to increase Vitality with [ Attribute Points ] ? And how was he able to add his Attribute Points in Vitality ?
But his question was answered by the [ System ].
《 Grandmaster of Upgrading was an extremely greedy , jealous and envious person . He always envied the long life of God , Dragons , Elves and so , so he began to seek the long life and finally manage to live long life in his life . Even when he was only a human , he lived for 3000 years . This is also the reason for you to freely add Attribute Points in Vitality .》
Slowly , slowly , Sun was feeling more and more admiration for this greedy pig.
Walking around , he found a Cold Attribute monster. Cold Attribute monsters and Ice Attribute monsters are two different types.
While a Cold Attribute monster only lives in Cold Habitants and may have Attributes other than Ice or Yin , Ice Attribute monsters will surely have one Ice or Yin Attributes with them.
This monster was a very powerful monster , if Sun didn't had [ Fireball ] Spell with him , he would not dare to come here and also if the skill wasn't God - Rank .
The Monster was from Ape Specie , 15 feet huge , pair of Humongous Arms that could crush even a small mountain if he were to get enraged. Razor sharp teeth and pair of 4 fangs , he has silver furs on his body with long tail on his back .
"Shit !!" What's with this monster ? He is too strong for C - Rank "
Sun cried but didn't felt even shred of fear because of his Class Effect.
《 Silver Fur Yin Ape 》
Strength : C [ +++ ] - Rank
Agility : C [ +++ ] - Rank
Endurance : C [ +++ ] - Rank
Sturdiness : C [ +++ ] - Rank
Rank : C - Rank
Class : Elite
"He has everything in C [ +++ ] - Rank yet still he is only a C - Rank monster. This is bad . I heard that , Elite Class monsters are 2 time stronger than their original Rank or close to that ."
Silver Fur Yin Ape noticed his presence which made him attracted toward Sun.
"ROAR" Silver Fur Yin Ape Roared.
《 Silver Fur Yin Ape has used [ Terror ] on you 》
《 [ Terror ] has been resisted ! 》
Silver Fur Yin Ape went mad after noticing that this puny human wasn't affected by his Skill. Sun suddenly leaped his body to the side when he saw that Silver Fur Yin Ape charging at him.
A huge Arm past by his cheek , making him feel chill down in his spin. But suddenly he burst into layer of Ki.
"BOOM" his whole body was coated by Ki.
《 You have activated [ Ki ] 》
《 All the [ Status ] will increase by + 10 》
His whole body felt like he has suddenly drank energy drink to temporary strengthen himself.
"Swoosh" throwing right fist toward the Silver Fur Yin Ape , Sun used all his strength while threw his left hand toward Silver Fur Yin Ape while charging [ Fireball ].
《 You have used [ Fireball ] 》
Silver Fur Yin Ape wasn't even scared a little and instead he used his own Ability called [ Sturdy Skin ].
This ability helps him to sturdy his skin and make his skin an outer layer of defence with thickness and large amount of defense.
"BOOM" one Fireball after another along with fists , kept hitting the Silver Fur Yin Ape. Yet Silver Fur Yin Ape didn't die neither was he that effected but still he was getting his Hp reduce.
But suddenly Sun was grabbed on his head by Silver Fur Yin Ape before getting hit on his chest and getting flown away .
Baam !! Baam !! Baam !!
Sun crashed on the ground but his body didn't stopped shifting. When he finally stopped up , he was coughing bloods while standing weakly.
Hp : 120 / 150
One punch was able to reduce his 30 Hp , if it was not for the Ki , his body would have been crushed completely !!
" it looks like I need to progress on other Arts too " he said while spitting his bloods.
Spit !!
He got on a martial art fighting position. He tried to call the Ki from the Netherworld , he tried to call the sentient from Netherworld but soon , he was kicked on his lower abdomen by Silver Fur Yin Ape. His defense was open when he tried to call the sentient from the netherworld.
Baam !! Baam !! Cough *
Sun tried to stand up but couldn't stand up because as soon as he tried to , Silver Fur Yin Ape ruthlessly stomped his foot on Sun's back .
BOOM !!
He was completely crushed , around him appeared spiderweb shape destruction mark. Silver Fur Yin Ape picked him up and gave a lethal kick on his head before sending him flying away .
Swoosh !! Baam !!
He was directly crashed on a huge Ice icicle. He felt extremely cold and weak . He blinked his eyes slowly while watching Silver Fur Yin Ape approaching near him. Sun's hands were shaking in weakness.
HP : 10 / 150
' I thought , if I have C - Rank Destructive Spell , I could easily crush those C - Rank monsters but ….i was wrong. '
Watching Silver Fur Yin Ape approach him with a sinister smile , Sun was feeling helpless and regret for being naive.
' it's not about having or not having Skill , I see… it's about if you are strong or not ?'
He felt his head getting grabbed by the huge hand of Silver Fur Yin Ape. He was lifted up in the mid air by Silver Fur Yin Ape. He could see Silver Fur Yin Ape laughing at him , clearly mocking him for being weak .
' I am not weak '
'…I am the strongest '
'…i am the strongest '
'Yes , I am…only I am the strongest '
Suddenly Silver Fur Yin Ape , felt like something was wrong.
《 You have successfully connected yourself with [ Netherworld ] and can use [ Devil Ki ] 》
《 Devil Ki 》
Ki of a devil , it will let you become a devilish Human .
Effect : All + 20 Status increase
Effect : Have a slightly chance of becoming a True Devil.
With the help of [ Ki ] and [ Devil Ki ] , all status was + 30 which aid Sun greatly and made his Magic Power grow very powerful.
Before Silver Fur Yin Ape could realise what was happening , he saw change in this puny human .
"Ascension " Sun cried while using the Skill . His whole body powered up.
[ Ascension ]
Power up Type
Type of Skill that allows the user Ascend his or her Limit for 30 sec.
Effect : + 100 in all Status ( because this Skill isn't cultivated yet , it can only release it's 0.1 percent capacity.
**
Right now , his Magic Power was at D [ ++ ] - Rank or higher which made him a powerful Mage .
His right hand closed the distance between him and Silver Fur Yin Ape .
"FIREBALL "
"KI "
"DEVIL KI"
" WORLDLY STRENGTH "
He used combination attack on Silver Fur Yin Ape, Worldly Strength was a very powerful attack. Even when he was only able to use 0.1 percent power his Attack Power already increased by 80 percent.
"ROAR"
"HA…!!"
Both party roared and cried while without showing any fear for each others. The fist of Silver Fur Yin Ape was 1 inch away from Sun while Sun's was 3 inch away.
Baam !!
One of their fist hit the second party first .
…….
…..
….
….
