Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Unlock Hidden Class and Level Maximize
As the light dimmed and his vision cleared, Seojun realized that he no longer felt the weight of his muscles, beard, and long hair—they had vanished, as if he had reverted to his original state.
"This is how I looked when it all started," Seojun said, feeling his short hair for the first time in a while. He took a deep breath, feeling both nostalgic and uneasy.
As the initial shock wore off, he noticed that the bright light had vanished, revealing a grand chamber. The walls were covered in gold and silver patterns, and massive pillars supported a dome with glowing celestial images.
In the center of the chamber stood a tall figure in a blue and silver robe. The figure\'s face was hidden by a hood, but Seojun could sense a powerful presence radiating from it.
"Welcome, Seojun," the figure spoke, its voice resonating through the chamber with a calm, yet commanding tone. "You have been brought here to the Sovereign of Omniarch Realm."
Seojun stood tall, despite the unease he felt in his changed form. "Why have I been returned to this appearance?" he asked, his voice steady but laced with curiosity. "And who are you?"
The figure remained silent for a moment, as if considering Seojun\'s questions. Then, with a slight motion of its hand, the figure gestured toward Seojun, and a mirror-like surface materialized in front of him, reflecting his youthful appearance back at him.
"This form represents your beginning, the foundation of who you are," the figure explained. "You have been stripped of the physical changes brought about by your journey, but your strength, your skills, your experiences—they remain within you."
Seojun studied his reflection, his expression thoughtful. It was true—though his body had changed, he could still feel the power coursing through him, the knowledge and skills he had acquired still present in his mind. He was different, yet the same.
"And as for who I am," the figure continued, lowering its hood to reveal a face that was both ancient and ageless, with eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom of countless worlds, "I am the Guardian of the Omniarch Realm, the keeper of its laws and the overseer of those who seek to claim its power."
Seojun looked at the Guardian, feeling the weight of what was coming. But there was one thing he needed to know. "Where is she?" he asked, his voice a little uncertain.
The Guardian\'s expression softened. "She has something really important to take care of," they said kindly. "But she told me she\'ll contact you soon."
Seojun nodded, He had always counted on Goddess Zyraena\'s help, and the thought of going forward without her by his side made him feel a bit uneasy.
Noticing this, the Guardian began typing in the air, symbols appearing as they worked. "We\'ll start your teleportation now," the Guardian said calmly. "Destination: Planet Earth, Seoul, South Korea."
Seojun\'s heart raced at the mention of his home. He hadn\'t thought of it for so long, and now, the idea of returning filled him with mixed emotions—happiness, fear, and longing all at once.
A soft sound signaled the start of the teleportation. Seojun looked down and saw his body slowly fading into light.
"Mom," he whispered quietly, closing his eyes as he felt the warmth of the light surrounding him. Memories of home and his mother filled his mind.
As his body continued to disappear, the Guardian watched him with a serious yet supportive look. Just before Seojun was completely gone, the Guardian whispered, "Good luck in your next journey Han Seojun, Save your world."
With those final words, Seojun was gone, leaving the Guardian alone in the quiet room.
Seojun thought he heard the Guardian whisper something just before he disappeared, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself floating in a strange passageway. The walls around him shimmered with an otherworldly glow, and he felt himself being gently pulled forward, almost like he was gliding through the air.
He smiled, the thought of finally meeting his mother filling him with excitement. But as the minutes dragged on, his anticipation turned to impatience.
"Why is this taking so long?" he muttered, letting out a sigh. Deciding to pass the time, Seojun floated down into a seated position and opened his status screen, noticing a bunch of unread notifications waiting for him.
[Congratulations Host! You have max your level!]
All experience points will now be converted to Abyssal Energy.
Seojun blinked at the absurdly high number. "999,999?" he whispered, unable to comprehend the enormity of it. He look at the other notif.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have unlocked a Hidden Class: SSS-Rank Abyssal Tamer.]
Description: The Abyssal Tamer is the pinnacle of all taming classes, surpassing every known limit. This Godly Class has never been attained by anyone before you, its power so immense that it has been concealed within the deepest layers of the system.
As an Abyssal Tamer, you have the divine authority to command and bind the most formidable entities. Your bond with them transcends the usual constraints of space and time, allowing you to summon and synchronize with them on a level that defies mortal understanding.
Seojun\'s brow furrowed. "SSS-Rank? Just how high is that?" He tried to wrap his mind around the concept.
Then open the other notification and was about a new item he had received: the Key of the Abyss. Curious, Seojun focused on it, and suddenly, a keyhole appeared in the air before him. Without hesitation, he used the key, and a door materialized out of thin air.
As the door swung open, Seojun peered inside and was surprised to see the child-like Grimzark, fast asleep while hugging a large stuffed teddy bear. Seojun\'s brow furrowed.
"Where did he get that?" he wondered, slightly bewildered by the sight.
Using his mind, Seojun explored more of the Abyss through the door. He could see different parts of the realm, dark and vast, with creatures moving about. But something caught his attention—a massive black screen hovering above the Abyss. All the creatures were staring at it in shock, murmuring among themselves.
Seojun squinted and read the message displayed on the screen. It announced that he had become the new Abyssal Lord and that Grimzark was now his right hand. The creatures below were clearly stunned by the news, unsure of what to make of their new ruler.
Seojun closed the door and leaned back, processing everything he had just seen. He was now not only the Lord of the Abyss but also the master of Grimzark, a demon he still couldn\'t fully figure out.
"Mom, I\'m coming back. I\'m returning home."
