The man wore the uniform of the Array of Stars. He had black hair, and his eyes seemed as deep as the ocean. Yet, his eyes also seemed tired and annoyed.
He didn't absorb any Energy from the surroundings, which could only mean one of two things.
One, he was not even in the First Realm.
Two, he was in the Tenth Realm or higher and didn't want to disturb the Energy Equilibrium.
'Hi?' Kyle thought, getting reminded of the message he had received from the Chief Overseer of this branch.
"Hi," Kyle said back, "I don't know what a Legendary Transcendent is. I've never heard of that term."
"You're not supposed to," the man said. "Talking about the details of the Legendary Levels comes with a reduction in Karmic Luck. I can only tell you that you were a Legendary Transcendent until just a couple of seconds ago. As for the details, you can find out all about them yourself."
"As a cover story for your Elemental Absorption, just say you have a Dispersed Affinity. Bye."
Then, the man teleported away again.
"Bye…" Kyle said awkwardly.
Silence.
'Huh, so there actually is a level higher than being Unique. I thought there was no level above Unique. I was even taught that it would not make sense to have a higher level since it would result in having even fewer Unique Transcendents.'
The fact that there was nothing higher had always annoyed Kyle a bit. After all, shouldn't exceptional achievements be rewarded? The God of this Cosmos obviously wanted people to become powerful. That was evident based on how they had designed everything.
Even the way Karmic Luck worked favored helping powerful people over helping weak people.
So, why wouldn't such a God support their most powerful… followers? Children? Whatever.
'Well, turns out, they do actually support the hardest-working and most talented Seekers. It's just that they want to keep everything hush-hush. It's like a boss giving a secret raise to their best employee and telling them not to tell anybody else that they got that raise.'
'Except that the reason is different. The boss in that metaphor just doesn't want to spend more money, while the God just doesn't want people to bite off more than they can chew.'
'If they knew that Legendary Transcendents were a thing, many people who would have successfully become Unique Transcendents would attempt to condense a Level 3.5 Complex Law. Probably 99% of them would fail, which means a significant reduction of talented Seekers.'
'I mean, as far as I know, a bunch of people in the Tenth Realm and upward were once Unique Transcendents. Having been a Unique Transcendent in the past is already enough to reach the Immortal Dimension.'
Kyle thought back to when he had read about the 13th Cluster of a Primal in the job description.
'0/12 or 13 Primals are called New Primals. 1/12 and 2/12 are called Minors Primals. Three and four are Intermediate Primals. Five, six, and seven are Advanced Primals. 8/12 is a Fused Primal. 9/12 is an Energy Primal. Ten is a Major Primal. Eleven is a Fulfilled Primal, and 12/12 is a Unique Primal.'
'In that way, is a 13/13 Primal a Legendary Primal?'
'Probably. I mean, I've never heard of that until today.'
'Also, if there is another level, my Element Absorption should be stronger. Just based on context clues, it seems like my Element Absorption now also includes Elements that I don't have an Affinity for.'
'I just don't know to what extent it absorbs other Elements.'
'I should test that later.'
Kyle recreated his Infused Body and left the Advancement Hall.
When he came out, he saw Assistant and Swamp Dragon waiting for him.
"Did everything work out?" Swamp Dragon asked.
"Yep," Kyle said.
At that moment, Kyle got an idea.
"Hey, Swamp Dragon. You read the job descriptions, right?" he asked.
Swamp Dragon nodded.
"The Exchange Seeker job said that I would get promoted, right? I just had to become a Crusher."
"12/12 Primal," Swamp Dragon corrected.
