=========================
Even after seeing this, Freddy was surprised.
Humans are not supposed to have the level 99 limit.
However, the description of a feature of his class was something no one had ever seen, said or mentioned by rumor or officially.
So, this was something unique to his class only.
"Level without limits."
Her name was the only description enough to know what it meant.
Even a madman would know what that word meant.
So, level 99, which is the level limit for humans, doesn't apply to Freddy.
It was a dream-like thing.
Surpassing level 99 meant being stronger than any level 99 human.
Still, he was level 1 as a starter.
Anyway, getting to level 99 is a much more difficult task than it sounds.
A level 99 can destroy an entire continent in a matter of seconds with a single skill.
One could say that it is absurd for a normal human.
However, it was the reality.
Training does not work to level up.
Leveling up requires accumulating experience over time or moving up faster through quests, creative abyss events, or entering the abyss.
"Although it would seem that I don't have a level cap? Will it really be true?"
I mean, not only does it reach level 99, but it surpasses it, even reaching level 100.
Level 200, 500... Who knows if there is a limit, even though it says "Level no limit"?
Everything must have some limit, at least minimum.
A monster must have a stat limit.
So, a human has limits in level.
Level is the way to express the absolute strength of each living being that has the ability to level up.
If a level 1 fights against a level 2, the victory is clear from the beginning.
The only way to break that rule is to use equipment, items that increase certain stats, titles or additional upgrades.
A variety of things work to increase strength, even if it's not 100% strength of your own.
Still, it makes a power difference in level, which is the absolute power of each being.
"Can I say that... if I level up I can get above level 99?"
It doesn't matter.
Anyway, that's how you say it, isn't it?
Now comes something more curious.
"Mmm, steal stats without limits."
It means you can steal stats.
But how?
From any living thing, from any object? Or how does it work?
However, there was no way to test it at the moment.
Although there were a variety of questions, those answers were impossible at this time, but also important, as they will be answered in time.
Now let's talk about something else.
"God of sacrifice, in exchange for my soul returned me to the past."
That was the biggest question.
I mean, we are talking about a god.
A real one.
Of course, the nine monarchs are considered gods, but in reality they are not.
Their power is limited to an incredibly high level, one that no being of dimensions or of the abyss itself can reach or surpass, no matter how hard they try.
Monarchs are the supreme beings with the highest imagined power possible.
The monarchs were said to be in different ranks among themselves.
Number one and the strongest, of course, is Arhat, the lord of magic.
His magic is absolute, something no one can deal with.
"I must know more about the god of sacrifice."
Thanks to him, Freddy returned to the past.
But his own soul was given as a sacrifice in exchange for returning.
Does the soul really have a conscience and can think?
She desired revenge and offered herself.
Freddy, in fact, also wanted revenge against the monarchs, even after he had decided he did not want to die after the end of humanity.
The last resistance was made up of the last strongest awakened ones in the entire Earth dimension, the last ones who waged war against the abyss.
Exterminate the nine factions, eliminate the nine races, and Freddy, the only one capable of fighting against the monarchs.
In the end, victory was decided; even so, perseverance and determination to even try to scratch Arhat's body was the last wish of the humans.
It was achieved because Arhat, at that moment, was in his human form so that he could be on the level of the humans and not kill them with his presence alone.
Sighing, Freddy got up from the bed, looked around and then went back to the past in his memory.
"I see, right at this moment I'm 5 years in the past and a few hours since I was declared expelled from the Verdance family."
Actually, never mind the Verdance family.
Now his target is Gustang, who is Freddy's father and the person who, in the future, is also a traitor.
I didn't know why he was on Arhat's side just before he died.
However, one thing was clear.
"He is definitely a traitor at this point."
It was not known since when or why.
Freddy's gaze was fixed on the bathroom mirror in the small room.
His perfectly manicured face, purple hair, intensely colored blue eyes and glasses defined him.
"Now that I remember, at this time my eyesight was a little bad, and that's why I wore glasses."
Being unawakened in the past, Freddy's vision was terrible.
After gaining overwhelming magical power, that weakness was completely eliminated.
"Wow, I didn't remember being so.... handsome. This face is even... exciting."
Staring at himself for a moment, he sighed again.
"Right now I'm too weak."
The stats were all at 1, his body was weakened, and something of the feeling of having died still lingered inside him.
Dying once and suddenly returning to the past and being alive was not a very pleasant feeling.
It was strange and hard to explain.
It could be described as being dead and alive at the same time, as if you were in paralysis, accompanied by intense mental pain.
"If this is my room, then this is the Verdance house. That means... My sister is here... although I highly doubt it."
After being declared expelled from the Verdance family, Gustang and Freddy's sister had gone into the abyss.
His whereabouts and what his purpose was in going there were unknown.
It is true that they were disappointed in him for being unawakened, but now things were different: Freddy was a regressor and knower of the future.
"I need that sword."
There was a peculiar sword his sister had used before.
"That crazy bitch used that sword to kill."
Not monsters, but humans, under the simple pretext that they were weak or unawakened.
Of course, Freddy was one of those people humiliated and nearly slaughtered by her and her arrogance towards the weak.
She was, without a doubt, the worst sister ever.
A deranged killer.
Thanks to her, in the past, and because of her stupid actions in the creative abysses, millions died.
At that moment, Freddy felt a level of hatred towards her so high that it was indescribable.
He could not let that sword continue to exist.
"Black sword."
That was the name of the weapon his sister used to kill.
It was discovered to possess unique abilities unique to the sword.
Being an "equipment," the black sword had special characteristics.
These characteristics manifested as abilities that granted a significant increase in the power of the wielder.
In other words, the black sword had made Freddy's sister extremely powerful.
In the end, Freddy never saw that sword again because his sister always kept it in her possession.
She even possessed another sword that, in her opinion, was better than the black sword.
However, Freddy knew something crucial.
"Now that I am an awakened one, I can see its characteristics."
Quickly, Freddy left her room and found the black sword carefully hidden in her sister's room.
Although it was an exceptional weapon, his sister still didn't use it, but he knew exactly where it was.
"Here it is."
A sharp black blade and a comfortable enough hilt.
The moment Freddy held the blade, some system messages appeared out of nowhere.
=========================
⟨⟨==Ancient sword of the god of death has been detected==⟩⟩⟩
⟨⟨⟨==Do you wish to verify the conditions and characteristics of the ancient sword of the god of death?==⟩⟩
=========================
Those were two unexpected messages, and by looking at the information on the sword, Freddy discovered something he had never seen before.
That revelation was also a second clue related to his regression, although it did not come from the same being.
