The Over-Break System

Laying on his back, beaten, broken, and bloody, Benny couldn't stop smiling, and with a wheeze, a sharp laugh escaped his lips as his eyes read through the notifications floating harmlessly in the space not far from his face.

-You are under attack by the First, third, and Fifth Opponents hidden within the First Obstacle.-

-You have Killed the First Opponent by redirecting a chain of attacks with your Aspis.-

-You have Leveled up.-

-You have obtained 50 points in every Stat.-

-You have Leveled up.-

-You have obtained 50 points in every Stat.-

-Remaining Obstacles or Opponents in Chamber 3: 44/50-

-Time remaining in Chamber 3: 8 hours 23 minutes.-

"Ha, haha, damn, this hurts, but still, we did it. We actually did it!" Benny cheered as he weakly held up his Aspis and Estoc, which weren't looking great due to their sustained damage.

Benny felt exhilarated when he felt the adrenaline rush of completing a seemingly impossible task, on top of the new energy coursing through his body as all his stats broke past 1500 points.

"1500 points in every stat, I'm not far behind Brancie and Cyn, so this is how strong they are." Resting his weapons beside him, Benny opened and closed his hand a few times and felt the vast amount of strength coursing through his body.

Sitting up and resting his elbows on his knees, Benny glanced at the timer and sighed heavily. He had wasted a lot of time, and all four of his respawns but had finally succeeded in beating the Obstacle that had killed him repeatedly.

Benny then rubbed his chin, examined his Resource stats, and knew this was the end of the line.

: HP 3383/65000 : (80 per point)

: Mana 1998/32500 : (40 per point)

: Stamina 2201/32500 : (40 per point)

Setting aside that his stats were vastly different compared to his ones before entering the Tribulation quest, especially his Mana, which before was only at 19.7k, Benny couldn't help but sigh once again.

As a result of having already burned all of his potions, he had to watch as his HP continuously dropped, so it was only a matter of time before he died.

Thankfully, he had already received the notification stating he had passed his Tribulation, so although it sucked that it wasn't possible to progress any further, he was still proud of himself for beating that bridge crossing.

Storing his weapons and armor back in his inventory and leaving himself clothed only in the form-fitting athletic gear, Benny closed his eyes and resigned himself to his fate, which came only a few minutes later.

If his eyes were open, he would have seen the streams of notifications popping up.

-You have suffered catastrophic damage.-

-You are losing all bodily functions.-

-You have died.-

-The Tribulation Quest has concluded.-

-You have passed your Tribulation quest with an SS Rating.-

-Commencing Tier-3 Evolution.-

Unlike what Benny expected, at first, there was no pain, only a spark of light in his eyes, similar to what one would experience after a severe head injury. The kind where flashes of explosive dots paint your vision.

When he opened his eyes, Benny was staring at the black void created within the Aether Capsule, but that was when things changed. He only had half a second to catch his breath before every muscle in his body spasmed.

His nerves and brain took a few minutes to register the earth-shattering pain associated with the Tier-3 Evolution since he had just experienced death five times and had been injured on 95% of his body.

But when the pain inevitably hit Benny, it was so bad that his eyesight flashed bright red. He was thrown into a never-ending cycle of deconstruction and reconstruction as all the Mana in his body expanded rapidly before condensing and breaking down, followed by reassembling itself.

Since everything, including his body, was made of Mana, it shouldn't be a shock that Benny's bones, muscles, and skin practically melted. Liquefication would be the next thing to occur. Within seconds, Benny transformed into an unimaginable abomination, somewhere between a bloody puddle and a meatball.

Soon after his body was destroyed, it would magically reconstruct itself, then start over. This process was called Breathing Mana Life, and it was the most crucial part of breaking through to the next Stage.

Every Level or collection of Essence that occurs in the Mortal Stage serves the purpose of building a stable and solid foundation that can be built upon, like a tower.

If the bottom floors aren't strong enough, what else could happen except a complete collapse? Luckily, Benny had forged his body, spirit, and mind, tempering them through Cynrik's absurd training. After completing all of the previous Prestige Modes, Benny was in peak form and the only non-legacy charge in the group to have maxed out his stats.

As such, when it came to the trio of Benny, Melody, and Gabby, he was in the best position physically and, thus, had a slightly easier time undergoing the Evolution than the other two would.

At some point, Benny's consciousness faded. When he opened his eyes, he was astounded to find himself in an ethereal state floating above an enormous world of Fire and Ice that housed four separate continents. To the north was a barren desert filled with flames. To the south, an arctic tundra dotted with howling blizzards. To the East was a vast Sea that stretched as far as the eye could see.

And last but not least, to the west was a land that Benny could only gasp in shock upon observing. It was as if all three continents had spawned a child, one that had formed a magical land where all three lands had merged into one.

Realization dawned on Benny as he noticed that each of these four continents represented his Four Affinities, Fire, Water, Ice, and Temperature.

"This…is this my Sea of Consciousness?" Benny absentmindedly said aloud as he floated high above the different continents. However, his attention was soon stolen by the never-ending chain of messages appearing due to his Evolution.

Benny's astral jaw nearly hit the floor as he read through wave after wave of notifications. Calling the rewards from this Evolution Lucrative would be a bald-faced lie. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he quickly waved his hand and opened his new Status Profile.
