The Supreme Level Up System



Aion's body began to feel weak and depleted. He experienced muscle fatigue, trembling, and a lack of energy. Simple tasks that were once effortless had become challenging.

Aion also felt intense hunger pangs as their body's energy reserves diminish. These pangs came in waves, causing discomfort and a persistent desire for nourishment. Aion's body started to show signs of dehydration. He experienced dry mouth, increased thirst, dizziness, and lightheadedness. His skin became dry too. He never experienced something like that before, and he didn't want to experience it again...

In any case, before looking for Henri, Aion decided to test his new skills and created a pocket dimension with all his mana. His first one was only big enough to store around two hundred kilograms. It seemed that it could store the same amount of mana as he could use.

Without hesitation, Aion jumped in and then frowned when he saw himself in the same place, but the surroundings were a bit weird. It looked like a weird slimy shadow was covering everything. At the same time, the flow of time was faster inside.

"Time Manipulation is something that I should learn later in this class…" Aion rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Anyway, I should level this up as much as possible and then transport the others inside. They will be able to heal and rest properly and even fight the enemies here."

Aion returned to the real world and then looked for the others. He saw a lot of people complaining to Henri, saying that it had passed three days and that Aion was crazy or something, but they shut up when he appeared.

"You are finally back. Did you get what you wanted? You must be starving," Henri said.

"I just had breakfast," Aion replied. "By the way, I am going to send you to a place where the flow of time is a bit different. Try to make sure to count the minutes there, okay?"

"... What?" Henri furrowed his eyebrows and asked.

Time was of the essence, so Aion didn't waste time explaining and just sent his brother to the pocket dimension. Everyone around panicked, but soon Aion brought his brother back after one minute.

"Did you count the time?" Aion asked.

"What was that… Aion?" Henri asked.

"Our newest weapon to avoid being detected and to be able to fight the enemies without being noticed," Aion replied. "How many minutes passed there?"

"... Around two?" Henri asked. "I never heard of anything like that.

"I guess the level of the skill and the level of the class improves its effects when it comes to the flow of time by fifty percent, or maybe the level of the skill influences it by one hundred percent," Aion rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

While everyone was trying to understand what was happening, Aion reset the class Paladin… while that class was at level one hundred, it only made Space King get five levels… their difference in terms of effectiveness was that high. Before he could level up the skill by the same amount, Aion confirmed that nothing happened with the flow of time in the pocket dimension.

"All right, let's make the flow of time there five times faster and then improve its power; that should improve the time and the size of the dimension as well," Aion thought. "Still, I can probably make it into something like what Tenebres did, but I don't have that much time or mana to waste with that. It will be better if everyone inside also can see what I see…"

The crystal also improved a lot faster since Aion was burning materials to feed it like there was no tomorrow. It was a pity that only things that had mana could be used on them.

"If I absorb those… I wonder what will happen," Aion thought. "I should leave that as a last resort since the consequences are unknown."

It didn't take long for the dimension to be able to fit everyone inside and their luggage; people felt a bit weird and suspicious of doing exactly what Aion told them to do. Few people in the whole kingdom actually heard good things of him, after all. Still, as soon he gave them permission to come and go by leaving the entrance open, they calmed down.

"The dimension should be big enough for you guys to face the onis as well; with the flow of time, you should have at least one minute to kill them before I send others," Aion explained. At the same time, he lent them the weapons of his death knights. "Pace yourselves; I am not going to stop until all of the enemies in the town are dead."

"Understood, we have been waiting for this," Henri nodded, and the whole group showed the resolution on their faces.

The others also looked ready, so Aion sent them back to the dimension while he ran toward the town. While the flow of time was six times slower currently on the dimension, Henri and the others inside still were left speechless by Aion's movement speed. He crossed one kilometer of distance in ten seconds for them, but in reality, he just used two… they thought that he was running, but he was also using his magic to control the ground under his feet to propel him forward with insane power… each step made him cross two hundred meters.

Before long, Aion arrived in the town and then saw the onis walking around aimlessly. He made sure to move close to them without making any noise, and then when they took a step forward, Aion made them fall into a hole that made them fall into his dimension.

[You received 300 experience points.]

"It is working, but I am getting a lot less experience since a lot more people are fighting them," Aion thought. "Just killing the monsters myself would be more efficient, but they need to get stronger too… I still have my trump card, so I can do this much."
