Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener - Chapter 46

SSS-Class Profession – Mercury
If someone were observing at that moment, they would notice that Sterl’s eyes were incredibly profound, as if reflecting a galaxy.

He felt as if his physical body had undergone a complete transformation similar to when he had class-changed, with significant changes also apparent in his spiritual realm. If previously Sterl needed to meditate to sense the sea of stars,

Now, his consciousness and soul felt as though they had transformed into the stars themselves.

Then—

Sterl was somewhat dazed. “Where am I?”

“Oh, right!”

“I’m in the closet at home!”

What had only been a few hours of evolution felt to Sterl like an entirely different era.

Climbing out of the closet, he discovered that all his clothes had vanished without a trace. After casually changing into a set of pajamas, Sterl couldn’t resist opening his panel.

As expected, the system was flooding with notifications.

[Affected by an unknown power, your Heart of Profession has been upgraded to SSS-class.]

[Your profession has undergone a significant change, you have obtained the new profession SSS-class Star of Chen]

“I’ve really reached an SSS-class profession! My Heart of Profession, I’ve also leveled it up to the max!”

“Mercury?” Sterl first smiled happily at the thought, then froze looking at the name of the new profession.

In the system panel, these two characters were in dazzling gold, standing out starkly against all other attributes!

However, after scouring the system prompts, Sterl still had no idea why.

He decided not to dwell on it, guessing that perhaps the SSS-class profession had some special traits?

Sterl then turned to look at the bonuses from his new profession.

SSS-class profession, indeed, was a qualitative transformation!

First, regarding attributes, every level-up added three points to all attributes, with four attribute points gained per level-up, and the effect of each attribute point added was tripled.

According to Sterl’s leveling strategy, in simple terms, this meant that every level-up added 6 points to all attributes!

He felt… it was a bit exaggerated. Was he a bit too overpowered??

A C-class player only got a total of 6.5 attribute points per level-up, and here he was, effectively getting 4 times that per level-up!

Next was the profession trait [Child of the Stars] which had transformed into [Avatar of the Stars: When under the illumination of the stars, wounds heal at an extremely fast rate, and all attributes increase by 40 points.]

After reading this, Sterl’s heart raced. That 40-point attribute bonus could be doubled by a descent of a god! As for the rapid healing of wounds…

Sterl decided to test it. He casually took out a shadowy curved blade, pierced his palm thoroughly, then activated the star field. A faint light illuminated the room.

Sterl watched, wide-eyed, as his palm itched and flesh rapidly regrew at a visible rate, weaving together blood vessels and skin.

Five seconds!

Just 5 seconds! The huge hole in his palm had healed completely, as good as new.

Sterl examined his palm, noting the skin was flawlessly smooth and tender.

“Such incredible healing power!” he couldn’t help but exclaim.

Then, Sterl turned his attention to the final content of his profession panel, the skills section.

The original two skills remained unchanged, but after level thirty, Sterl discovered two purple-tier skills had appeared in the skill tree, ready to be learned once he reached the required level.

Later, he flipped through the skill tree that still displayed a question mark and saw a faint and exquisite glow.

“So after learning the level 30 skills, the following ones are golden-tier moves!” Sterl couldn’t help but swallow hard, finding the SSS-class profession overwhelmingly powerful.

It’s known that blue-tier skills are for players above level 61, purple-tier skills directly cater to players above level 91 who have completed their second class change, and golden-tier skills are for those above level 141 who have completed at least three class changes!!

An SSS-class profession truly is audacious!

Sterl felt dizzy with excitement, and what was even more outrageous was that he had just completed his class change, meaning the full strength of his profession had yet to be realized. In the coming period, as long as he leveled up, his strength would grow explosively!

After his moment of reflection.

Sterl was quickly brought back to reality by a “thud” as the bedroom door was pushed open.

Linna and Rayna, carrying bags big and small, were stunned to see Sterl.

“Where did you go?”

“We’ve been looking for you for ages!”

“So you were at home! That’s great!” The two beautiful girls were both excited and tearful.

“What happened? What’s going on?” Sterl, equally surprised, grew serious. This clearly indicated something major had occurred.

As the two girls explained, Sterl’s expression darkened considerably.

According to Linna and Rayna—

Somehow, the base had suddenly activated its highest level of alert.

The commanding officer even declared it a lost cause, telling everyone the base was beyond saving and to prepare for death, advising everyone to fend for themselves.

Consequently, the base was in complete chaos.

Some players chose to flee, while others found their usual enemies and started fighting, causing many civilian casualties in the aftermath of the battles.

All the major guilds, including the official ones, having received the news earlier, were the first to flee, and now they have all evacuated their bases.

As a result, there is no force left within the bases to maintain order.

In the neighborhood where Sterl and his family lived, it was pure chaos. Ordinary people, too afraid to venture into the wilderness, quietly awaited their fate at home, while many others desperately broke into homes to kill, rob, and rape.

Showcasing the worst of humanity in their desperation.

Sterl hid in the wardrobe, while Linna and Rayna searched for a long time but couldn’t find it. After adventuring around the community, they prepared to turn back home, pack up their valuable belongings, and then search for Sterl all the way.

However, upon their return, they found Sterl safe and sound in the bedroom…

Sterl was deeply concerned, as the highest level of alert usually indicated events like monster sieges.

However, he wasn’t panicked.

Feeling confident as an SSS-class professional, Sterl believed he could protect Linna and Rayna as they traversed the wilderness to seek refuge in another base.

Thus, Sterl quickly packed up some belongings with the two girls and they all made their escape from the base.

But upon reaching the outskirts of the base, Sterl was completely dumbfounded. The area was packed with ordinary people and players, and the surrounding wild monsters seemed to have been almost entirely cleared by someone.

But what exactly was the disaster that warranted such caution?

Everything seemed calm and peaceful!

It was only after discussing with Linna and Rayna that Sterl realized… The alert was because of him??

The base had nearly disintegrated from the sudden, inexplicable influx of a massive amount of stellar power?

Sterl was dizzy with confusion! He had no idea how to even begin to complain about the situation. Though, if he put himself in the shoes of the base’s commander, he probably would have reacted the same way. Sterl’s assumption into his celestial role had caused quite the stir!!

In the game “Transcendence,” the bigger the commotion, the bigger the event! It was impossible that such a massive influx of stellar power would result in nothing happening.

Not just a low-level base commander, but even those in charge of mid-level or higher bases would have been terrified by the spectacle.

Sterl was at a loss. He couldn’t explain the anomaly, which actually posed no threat. He had no choice but to act ignorant and, along with Linna and Rayna, stay at an official refuge far from the base for the time being.

Fortunately, Sterl’s identity ID recorded that he was a member of the Spark Project, and his status as a pioneering player had been recognized, granting them a temporary small villa to stay in. The living environment was quite acceptable.

So, for the next while.

Sterl settled down in the villa, fucking Linna and Rayna when they were not busy, and took the opportunity to allocate his various resources and organize his affairs.

Sterl’s first task was to upgrade his pet egg.

From a [Stellar Egg (S)]to a [Stellar Egg (SS)].

Since it hadn’t hatched yet, the upgrade didn’t show any special effects.

However, the skill Sterl shared became—

[Stellar Power (SS)], with effects largely similar to before but now with reduced consumption of stellar energy and enhanced output of moves imbued with stellar power.

Moreover, the Stellar Egg couldn’t be upgraded further, but the good news was that as soon as Sterl placed the egg in his palm, the system automatically prompted, [Due to your profession’s influence, the Stellar Egg is evolving].

It seemed the pet could indeed reach SSS rank.

Sterl felt a bit disappointed, as upgrading directly was more convenient. Slow evolution meant there was no telling when it would complete…

Next, he upgraded a second item.

Sterl upgraded a special piece of equipment from the “Dimensional Visitor,” the “Eye of the Stars.” After upgrading it twice, the “Eye of the Stars” transformed into the “Insight of the Stars.” Originally, this piece of equipment was similar to a cosmetic contact lens. Sterl simply had to place it in front of his pupil.

After the evolution, the [Star Insight] turned into a liquid, much like eye drops.

Sterl could equip it by simply dropping it into his eyes.

The upgraded [Star Insight] maintained the same equipment bonuses and effects.

But now, Sterl could detect entities with spiritual attributes not exceeding his own by 100 points, and the [Star Insight] gained a new skill—
