The Ring Mark Phenomenon is Known as :
" Solomon's Ten Rings. ", Referencing
The Archangel of Wisdom, Solomon in
The Holy Text of Aria.
To Get it, you must be blessed by an Angel, Be Born a Prodigy, Or Get it in the ways of Taboo.
Each and Every one of These require Years Upon Years of Non Stop Mana Training, At Ring Mark Level 6 you begin your Metamorphosis.
Allowing you to Awaken a Move of Your Choice to a Higher Level. And a Higher Power.
At a Certain Amount of Heart Rate, Focusing, Precision, Body Heat, & Strength, You may progress to Level 2 (In which is a 50% Chance of Progression) of Metamorphosis. The Requirements get larger and harder the most you complete.
It will indicate your Levels by Forming a Number on your Body.
The Current Ones will Large Levels and Mastery over Metamorphosis is Unknown.
It is possible That King Taiyō Pevubri had reached Large Levels & Mastery. but it is a theory yet to be confirmed.
However, you can choose another Route from Ring Marks to Reach Metamorphosis. Known as
" Blessed Parts. "
The Blessed Parts are Bones of The Humanoid Skeleton that grants insane amounts of Mana Power, if absorbed, The Being must consume a Sacred Liquid. Named :
" The Blood of Aria. ",
Not actually being The Blood of Aria, It is a Sacred Liquid found from The Unknown of Redlocnse.
Some believed this "Skeleton" belonged to a Demon with 4 Arms. Who once was a Tyrannical Overlord in Hell trying to dominate The Overworld.
Stopped by Archangel Nexrael's Holy Swords.
The Bones & Body Parts are Scattered across the world.
Overall, Metamorphosis is a Highly Difficult Process to Complete, The Requirements are Unknown. But The Current 5 Emperors of Redlocnse Have Finished It.

Leif strapped [ STORMCALLER ] on his back whilst it was in his Sheathe, leaving the hospital.
His Arm had a
Star Symbol from a Doctor.
Saying it will heal faster overtime.
Victor waved goodbye, heading back inside the hospital.
Leif had a lunch box prepared by Victor, He waves bye back to Victor. Leif left the Hospital and to The Dungeon Tower of Hell.
Leif entered the Gates. The Gates Shut.
" … is Progression Reset a Choice..? "
[ YOUR CURRENT FLOOR IS
[ FLOOR 12 : DEATH AHEAD. ] ARE YOU SURE YOU'D LIKE TO RESET YOUR PROGRESS? ]
" .. Yes.. "
Leif was teleported to The First Level, Passing Through The Gates.
He Gripped his Sword's Handle.
" Back to Square One.. "
Leif would Unsheathe The Katana as His Cloak Flutters with the Wind.
Demons rush to him as Leif gets into Stance.
.
.
Leif was stained with Blood as he Remembered when he first entered The Floors with Sheri.
He kept going after drinking a Health Potion.
" imagine a still drop of water levitating in your hands.. That's how you Generate and Fire a Mana Pulse. "
He heard Sheri's words echo in his head before he left. He remembered her Voice sounding weak through her bandages.
He walked through The Gate,
[ FLOOR 2 : It Seems.. ]
Leif slaughtered the Demons, as a Burst of Flames composed of Mana blasts out of his Arm. Engulfing his sword and Kept Slaughtering.
Body Parts of Numerous Demons flew everywhere. As he reached a Mini Boss.
He would slice open the mini boss and snatch The Loot inside.
[ EPIC ITEM ACQUIRED - ]
[ "RING OF ?;+-#6." ]
[ FIRE MAGIC REGISTERED,
FIRE MAGIC DAMAGE HEIGHTENED TO 70%. ]
[ an Aura Haunts You... ]
Purple Aura would Radiate around Leif.
He Wore The Ring.
" 70% is astounding.. But why would Loot like this be in a mini boss at Floor 2..? "
Leif jumped into The Hole to Enter…
[ FLOOR 3 : We Have… ]
Leif kept slaughtering demons. Storing Demon Blood in Numerous Viles,
Mixing Mana within it.
Leif formed Purified Demon Blood with Mana.
He stores it in his backpack. He kept going.
[ FLOOR 4 : Met Before… ]
" Is the tower talking to me..? "
Leif shook his head, as he kept slaughtering. Enhancing his Mana Power very slowly.
The Aura slowly haunts him, giving him an off feeling.
" What is this feeling…?? I feel.. Uneasy.. "
Demons kept screaming out help, Leif was shocked as he was standing before a demon who was bawling its eyes out. Begging for mercy.
Leif, in one fell swoop, decapitated the demon. Blood Splattered on his Face.
Leif was in disbelief. He traced the blood on his face to look at it.
" it… sounded like.. a human.. begging.. "
Leif shook his head, as he kept going.
He remembered the cries of the demons.
He jumped down.
[ FLOOR 5 : Sasaki Yamamoto. ]
Leif was taken aback From The Tower speaking of his Name, as he landed, there was no gate. It was just a dark empty abyss.
With a large stone with a riddle engraved on it.
" Find what you care about, find what you love. But be careful, always look out for the judgement of the dove. "
A light descended, as Micah came out of the light. In front of Leif.
" Leif Sagamore.. I've come here to deliver news to you.. "
" wait.. Aren't you like that.. That angel who saved us? "
" I saved you from the wrath of my best friend.. I'm The Angel of Mercy, Micah.
I Protect Humanity. "
Leif was sweating slightly.. a cold sweat broke from his forehead.
" I have to stop you, as The Angel of Mercy, I can't let one of the kind I protect die. I want to apologize on behalf of my best friend.. "
Micah bowed his head. Leif was shocked.
" no- please raise your head! "
Micah did so.
" please.. turn back now.. "
Leif would grip [ STORMCALLER ].
" no. I would like to move forward. Fight. That's all I can do to get stronger. "
Micah would be taken aback from such an answer. Micah takes Leif's hand.
A golden glow was seen, forming a black ring mark around Leif's finger.
" I have blessed you with The Ten Rings of Solomon.. I wish you all the best,
Leif Sagamore. "
Micah smiled, before disappearing.
Being blessed by an Angel, Leif passed Level 5 already. Progressing to Level 6, jumping down the elevator pit.
[ FLOOR 6 - Nostalgia. ]
Leif jumped down, landing as he would dash out of the elevator. He widened his eyes.
" wait.. No.. No way.. "
He would sweat, he looked at the red skies
and flames, looking up at a gigantic tower.
" are you.. Are you kidding me?! "
A blue screen popped up.
[ LOCATION : EARTH(?) ]
[ OBJECTIVE : SURVIVE & KILL. ]
" This has to be a fuckin' joke…
Why am I back on Earth?! "
