Chapter 154: CHAPTER 154 – The Power Boost.
Alex felt like he was missing something, it was like he forgot something.
[What\'s wrong?]
Sophia asked with hidden caution.
\'I think I was looking at something, but I can\'t remember what...\' Alex answered without thinking much.
He was confused as to why he couldn\'t remember what he was doing.
{Phew….
Looks like that space is still functioning perfectly.}
Sophia sighed as she saw that Alex didn\'t remember anything, but she replied to Alex quickly so as to not look suspicious.
[Well, you were probably looking at the m- process.]
{Fuck!}
Sophia cursed inwardly as she almost spoke about the mana particles that were the root cause of what had happened.
\'Yeah, maybe….\'
Alex spoke with a pondering look.
He was not listening to Sophia\'s words that carefully or he would\'ve noticed her changing the words.
[For now, I think you should be focusing on your powers and the new things you have unlocked in your bloodline and skills.]
Sophia quickly changed the subject as she didn\'t want him to think about that matter again and do the same thing again.
Alex, on the other hand, finally noticed that the process was complete and he was not on the next level of power when he heard Sophia\'s words.
He waved his hand and in less than a millisecond a mirror made of water was created right in front of him.
Alex stood up and looked at himself.
He could see the changes in his body, and he could also see the changes inside of his body.
\'This power….\'
Alex clenched his fist which caused the air around his fist to tremble.
He could feel the power within his single punch even without punching.
\'One punch to blow an EX-ranker to smithereens, not bad, I guess\' Alex raised a brow as he evaluated his power.
"Hup."
Alex jumped on the spot and like one would think, he didn\'t go crashing up into the ceiling.
He just jumped a meter high before he landed on his toes.
Not a creak in the wood was heard, it was just how good control Alex had over his strength, or maybe it was because of the \'All-Master\' skill, or maybe both.
\'The weight behind my attacks has increased, the weight of my body has increased, but I feel light as a feather.\'
Alex analyzed as he jumped on the spot continuously.
\'I might be able to shoot myself through the air and glide just by using my physical strength,\' Alex thought and he really wanted to try it as well, but he controlled himself as he could feel new powers in his body, but before that.
"So, am I an Epic ranker, now?" Alex questioned.
[Yes, but you are Epic 1 right now, and you will need to use all of your stored boosts to push yourself up to peak Epic 2.]
"All right, now other than the stored boost\'s part, elaborate on the others," Alex nodded his head but spoke otherwise.
Alex knew what boosts she was talking about, he was the one who stored them, after all.
After he reached EX-rank and decided to stop progressing, he still got the boost his bloodlines gave him, so he stored them in his body.
Alex was not actually going to do it, he didn\'t even know it, but Sophia told him to do it so he did it.
Now, when he had finally broken through, he was ready to use those boosts.
But he didn\'t have much knowledge about the ranks above EX so he asked Sophia to explain it, and Sophia being a helpful system spirit, did what she was asked for.
[The ranks from F to EX are called the basic levels, it is something that anyone in worlds with a high density of mana could do, but after that starts the real thing.
The Epic rank is the start of the journey in a way.]
"I get that, but what is after Epic? What is Epic 1? And is there anything special about the rank after Epic as well?" Alex barraged Sophia with questions and Sophia listened to them patiently before she answered.
[Epic 1 that I told you about is the first rank after EX-rank.
Then it comes Epic 2, followed by Epic 3.
After that comes Legendary 1, Legendary 2, and Legendary 3 respectively.
Then finally it is Mythic 1, Mythic 2, and Mythic 3.
These are how the ranks go after the EX-rank.]
"What\'s after that?" Alex asked curiously even though he could already guess what the answer was going to be.
[You need to reach Mythic to know that.]
\'Thought so,\' Alex nodded inwardly.
Just like how people were getting used to his unique quirks, he was also getting used to things.
[For your question about there being anything special about the ranks after Epic, the answer is NO.
You won\'t even find much change when you go from Epic 1 to 2 to 3, just like how one increases from C-rank to B to A.
An Epic 2 will be able to defeat 2 or 3 Epic 1s without a problem, and the same could be said for Epic 3 and 2.
But then you will notice changes when you get to Legendary 1. Your mana veins which are quite thin right now, will get thicker and stronger, making your strength rise a lot more than before.
The same thing happens when you reach Mythic 1. Your mana veins get thicker and stronger until they reach their limits and by the time they reach their limits, you will already be on Mythic 3.]
Sophia elaborated just as Alex wanted, but then she added.
[Just so you know, a single Legendary 1 could beat 10 Epic 3s without a problem, and the same for Mythic 1 and Legendary 3.
As for the 1, 2, and 3 ranks of each of them, the difference is equal.]
\'I see, well, that helped me understand a lot more than I wanted, but thanks.\'
Alex nodded his head as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"All right, let\'s stop or I might fall for myself," Alex chuckled as he waved his hand and the mirror of water vanished.
[Again, you should use your boosts and push yourself to Epic 2.]
Sophia reminded Alex as she saw him being a narcissist.
\'Yes, Yes, I was about to do it even if you didn\'t remind me.\'
Alex dismissed Sophia\'s words before he closed his eyes and broke the shell, in which he was storing the boosts.
His eyes snapped open as he felt the boost rushing into his body, but then he just smiled.
\'Getting more than expected always feels good….\'
