Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

[You stayed till the end?]

Nina's voice was like a whisper, and if not because of the connection between them, Corey would never have been able to hear it.

Corey nodded softly, then when he noticed that there was a lack of response from Nina, he shrugged, and decided to look at the messages he received from the Universal System.

The messages were so much that Corey had to use approximately five minutes to read all the messages.

After reading all the messages, Corey had gotten some information that had baffled him slightly.

Although, he could not make sense of some of the information, he still made sure to keep them in his mind.

Deciding to push the information into the back of his mind, Corey decided to look at his rewards.

Surprisingly and shockingly, Corey attributes were no longer red star, orange star, blue star, or even violet star.

His attributes were now:

*ATTRIBUTES*

Strength: Black Star [100%] → Black Star [10%]

Agility: Black Star [100%] → Black Star [10%]

Dexterity: Black Star [100%] → Black Star [10%]

Constitution: Black Star [100%] → Black Star [10%]

Intelligence: Black Star [100%] → Black Star [10%]

Endurance: Black Star [100%] → Black Star [10%]

Astral Mana: Black Star [100%] → Black Star [10%]

Free A.P: 600%

As Corey gazed at his attributes, he had a small frown.

Although, it seemed like his attribute had digressed from Black Star [100%] to Black Star [10%], Corey knew that was not the case at all.

He felt much, much stronger than when his attribute was Black Star [100%], and he was still a little bit surprised by his current strength.

If his current strength was still at [10%], he could not help but imagine how strong he would be when his attribute reaches [100%]

Corey released a soft smile, then he looked at another translucent screen.

As Corey looked at the rewards, his lips could not help but twitch at the benefits he had unknowingly gained due to him becoming a tier 2.

What confused him the most was the presence of the 'SSS Clear Rewards'. Due to him being a Demi-Paragon, he did not take the usual trial to become a tier 2, so he didn't know how he had gotten a rating of SSS.

But when he pondered deeply on it, he realized that the reason for his high rating was due to his performance in the first tribulation of hell.

He had not damaged a single mirror, and he had also stayed under the gaze of the Eye of God till the end.

When he thought of this, it then made sense to him as to why he was given a 'SSS' rating.

Asides from that, Corey gazed at the rewards from unknown sources, and his eyes shined.

Due to him staying under the gaze of the Eye of God for a very long time, his soul had undergone a mutation, or in the words of the Universal System, his soul had transcended.

A word which might have a totally different meaning compared to 'mutated'.

His soul had transcended into a Cosmic Soul, and due to this, The Perceptual Nexus Repository, which he intuitively knew was The Library of Records, was upgraded.

Also, something called an Alchemy Anvil was also installed into The Perceptual Nexus Repository.

Although, Corey did not know what the Alchemy Anvil was, he had a feeling that it would be something special.

Asides from all of these, his pain resistance, fear resistance, and mental manipulation resistance were upgraded to extremely high levels.

If one thought about it, it was not really surprising for those three resistances to increase to extremely high levels.

Corey had gone through a total of 9,999 lives, and in most of those lives, he experienced unimaginable pain.

Whether it be physical, emotional, or any other type of pain. He experienced them.

Also, there were times where he faced situations that caused him to be fearful, and due to him overcoming those situations, his fear resistance also rose a lot.

Another reason for Corey's fear resistance was something even Corey would not have expected.

Overcoming the First Tribulation of Hell.

Ever since Corey saw his death in the glass world of the first tribulation of hell, Corey was always afraid and worried.

Him overcoming the first tribulation of hell that was meant for tier 7s at least made Corey's confidence and fear resistance increase.

As for his Mental Manipulation Resistance, the reason for it increasing was self-explanatory.

He had literal survived a tribulation of hell that could subtly toy with the minds of beings above the mortal realm.

If Corey's mental manipulation resistance did not increase, then nothing else should have increased.

"I also unlocked the luck attribute."

Corey mumbled as he looked at his luck attribute which was- 789.452

Corey did not know if his luck attribute was high, but he had a feeling it was.

Corey exhaled, then he looked at the choices he had to make for his skills.

It was time for him to choose his skills.
