[Successful Breakthrough!]
[You have successfully unsealed all of your Ancient Veins and stepped through the immortal border that mortals cannot pass!]
[Mortal Rank Legacy has reached Level 10!]
Whoosh!
Immidieatly as those words appeared in his head, Nash suddenly noticed as his body became drastically lighter while a strange sensation he has never felt before began to fill his body or to be more exact his Ancient Veins bit by bit!
'What is happening?' opening his eyes slowly, Nash raised his hands to get a better look, but the exact moment he moved, the unknown energy that filled his Ancient Veins suddenly halted while his body turned back to its normal weight once again.
'Huh? It stopped?' Nash raised a brow and decided to put his hands back into their original position, but even then, the feeling he felt moments ago didn't appear neither did his body weight become lighter.
'Maybe I need to concentrate?' thinking about that possibility, Nash quickly closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his mind down.
And to his great surprise, it worked!
The instant he closed his eyes and focused his attention on his body, the peculiar sensation in him appeared again while all the Ancient Veins inside his body began to glow with a gentle golden light which could be glimpsed only in his mind.
'Woah... Truly like those stories I heard when I was little!' Nash looked elated when he felt his body getting filled with the unique energy, causing his body to become lighter and stronger by every passing second!
'So this energy must be the 'Essence of all Dimensions' that I have read in the Legacy's Information. Dimension Essence, huh?' Nash remained motionless on the bed as he consumed the surrounding Dimension Essence in the room without stopping, filling his Ancient Veins in his body at a pace that was neither slow nor fast; if an example should be brought up, he was currently moving with a pace that was neither running nor walking but jogging.
After consuming Dimension Essence for an hour at least, Nash gave a deep sigh, letting out a huge amount of turbid air, and opened his eyes slowly.
'Amazing. Only a fraction of my body has been filled with the energy, but it already replenished my body so much that my sight has turned sharper and clearer. I can even see the small details on the walls which I didn't have notice until now!' jumping out of the bed and moving his body around, Nash showed a satisfied smile and glanced at the emerald sword on his side.
"I wonder just how much my strength has grown."
{Character Status}
• Physical Strength: 99
• Agility: 99
• Speed: 99
• Mental Strength: 999
• Vitality: 100
• Essence: 999
"99?" Nash raised a brow by the sight in his sight, feeling rather confused.
So far, whenever he broke into a higher level, his traits would follow suit too, improving by at least 10 if not more than that.
For instance, when he was still at Level 6, all of his traits were between 61 and 69, none of them surpassing the 70 mark. However, when he finally broke the bottleneck and became a Level 7 Mortal, all of his traits increased dramatically, each of them entering the 70's, staying between 70 and 79, but none of them exceeding the 80 mark!
Thus, now that he was a Level 10 Mortal who surpassed Level 10 by unlocking all of his Ancient Veins, shouldn't his traits also surpass the 100 mark?
This made Nash feel confused, but only for a moment as he immediately understood what was happening, thus calmed down really quickly.
"A bottleneck, huh? Well, not like this is the first time, right?"
Indeed, he has met with a bottleneck back when he was at Level 6, thus it was not a surprise he met with another one, particularly when he was at the peak of the Mortal Stage, half a step away from reaching the next Stage!
"I am sure I will be able to overcome this too, so there is no need to panic." by saying those words, Nash picked up the sword from his sides and after looking at the room for one final time he unlocked the door and walked out.

Somewhere in the Human Dimension, on an unknown planet.
The sun shone brightly on the clear starry sky, bathing the entire scenery below it in a bright glow, including the majestic palace on top of a great mountain that stood proudly in the middle of a huge crystal clear lake, which should be called a small ocean instead because of its size, and which tallest towers pierced the white clouds above!
Inside this great palace where hundreds of guards in crimson armor were patrolling with a solemn face, there was a grand hall with a huge circular table in its very center with several figures sitting around it, each of them seemingly hailing from different races.
"UNACCEPTABLE!!!"
BOOOM!
With a powerful slam, one of the six beings present in the hall smashed his tightly clenched fist onto the table, causing several cracks to appear around and below his hand on the table's surface from the force and impact.
"Lord Ozran, please restrain your rage. We still have guests here." a soft voice sounded behind the being who in reality was the leader of the Thousand Blood Race, attracting almost all the other beings' attention instantly.
The King, who was just called Lord Ozran by the beautiful crimson-haired maiden, took a deep breath and leaned back into his chair with a stiff expression.
"I am sorry, Clavellina. My emotions got out of control just now." Lord Ozran sighed deeply and opened his closed eyelids, revealing a pair of deep red eyes that looked incredibly firm, but held hidden danger.
Clavellina closed her beautiful ruby-like eyes without saying anything else and straightened her petite figure a little bit more, displaying her hot and alluring curves for all the other five creatures to see in the hall.
Seeing as all the five creatures present looked at Clavellina with lustful gazes, Lord Ozran's face turned colder than ice while his crimson eyes turned razor-sharp, emitting a threatening aura that was hard not to notice.
"!?"
"L-Lord Ozran... There is no need to be so serious. As a fact, you should feel proud to have such a great and beautiful daughter like her." one of the beings sitting in the hall began to speak after a hard swallow, making the other four around the table nod in agreement with haste as if their lives were on the line.
"No need to be serious? One of my daughters was kidnapped by a lowly human more than a month ago without any news about her while the other one is currently eyed by a bunch of horny monkeys before my eyes! Do you really think there is no reason for me to be serious?!" a suffocating pressure fell on the five creatures the very next second he finished speaking, forcing them to lower their heads and pray not to get crushed by the heavy force soon.
"Lord Ozran... Manners..."
Hearing Clavellina's soft voice in his ear once again, Lord Ozran's face softened slightly before a cold snort escaped his mouth and withdrew his aura that almost choked the five creatures to death.
"Weaklings."
After muttering those words under his breath, Lord Ozran shifted his gaze at the creature sitting closest to him and said coldly, "Tell me everything you have just said from start to end again. If you dare to miss out on even a single detail, I will make sure to skin you alive and feed your flesh to my dogs!"
"Y-Yes Lord Ozran! R-Right away!" a creature clad in crimson armor and with a pair of huge wings on his back jumped onto his feet, towering over two meters in height when he straightened his back.
His name was Crimson Wings, a Sky Beast who was once a well-known and respected unit leader back on Planet Azure, but ever since the getaway of several human slaves there, his position and rank plummeted so much that even his past subordinates looked down on him now!
