James' body became thinner, the color of his pupils and hair became slightly lighter, he felt an incredible change happening inside his body, his skin, flesh, muscles, bones, organs, cells were strengthening at full speed.
At that very moment he felt a feeling of near sublimation, perhaps it was a moment of bewilderment or an illusion created by the sudden increase in his strength, but for a brief moment James saw a starry sky without limits, it was a limitless sky, dark but bright, calm and soothing, he just had to take a step to reach it.
[Come to me...]
Then he heard a soft voice coming to his ears, a voice full of love and tranquility, it was starry sky calling him, as a mother would call her child.
"It's beautiful," he said in a low voice.
But then a wall rose up in front of him, the red lightning disappeared, everything returned to normal, he felt at that moment as if he was standing in front of an insurmountable wall.
Despite his great increase in power, he didn't smile, he felt rather lost.
"What's stopping me?"
He didn't know then that, he had just reached the first limit of a one-star creature, the limit of life, the body of a cellular being like man was limited.
A piece of metal, no matter how refined and strengthened it is, will always be a piece of metal, Survival World was able to strengthen that metal (Body) to the limit, but it was unable, or rather its creator did not want to break the limits imposed by the fundamental laws of creation, but James did not know this.
He was standing with a lost expression of disappointment because he felt that he had just missed out on something extremely valuable, but these expressions would quickly dissipate with the message from Survival World that he received at that moment.
But unlike the previous time this message was written in a deep, scarlet red.
[It has been detected that Junior traveler James has reached the limit of his species...]
[Junior traveler James, would you like to begin the trial?]
°Caution ! The difficulty will increase by 100%.
°Caution ! No technological, supernatural or magical material can be used.
°Caution ! During the event three of your stats will be temporarily sealed...
_Reward: Member Traveler Title : Decrease of 30% on the restriction of use of your abilities in your native world.
[Yes<>No]
James, seeing this, couldn't help but take a deep breath of air.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Surely this has something to do with the limit of my stats, maybe all the travellers who reached nine will get the same message."
He rereads the message for a moment before plunging into his thoughts.
He rereads the message for a moment before plunging into his thoughts.
"Apparently I've reached the limit of the human race in this world and the reward for that must be this title (Member Traveler),
at first I didn't really care about my title, because it just seemed like a decoration, but it seems like it's more important than it seems."
"A 30% reduction in my capacity restriction is what I need most right now, but this information reveals something more terrible."
"If there were titles superior to Junior and Member Travler can we then use 100% of our abilities in our native world? Why don't we (Normal peoples) know about this? After all, the basic information about Survival World is widely disseminated."
James continued to think for a while before shaking his head.
"There's no use speculating, STATS!"
[Name : James Art]
[Specie : Humanoid]
[Title : Travler Junior]
Creature Rank: ☆
●Strength : 9,9
●Constitution : 9,9
●Dexterity : 9,9
●Senses : 9,9
{PT : 5320}
James clenched his fists while sighing in exasperation.
"Although my strength has increased tremendously, but I still feel a sense of loss, it's unbearable."
"The (+) in front of my stats disappeared probably means I can't improve any more."
'But wounds are already 70% healed, I also have 5000PT left, I could buy items but it's horribly expensive, I'm currently being wanted all over town, turning my points into money will be difficult for me..."
He looked at the Survival World message again.
"If I succeed, it will greatly improve my power..."
"The two people I met earlier were strong enough, without my aura I probably would have been captured."
"If I want to solve this problem I'm going to have to have the strength to escape, or to find the person who's looking for me."
He scanned the dark and quiet alley before sighing with fatigue.
"What a hard day..."
Before pressing Yes without hesitation!
The world around him suddenly became dark, leaving only a simple interface in front of him.
[What statistic would you like to keep traveler Junior James?]
[Caution! This will affect your future development.]
Full Metal Alchemist
I read the manga Kimetsu no Yaiba and I loved it to the point of putting it in my top 20, I would have liked it to be the next world but hey...If you want me to write about demon Slayer tell me in comment, I would make a new work with Kimetsu no Yaiba as first world (Time line 10 Years before Plot) and a Hunter x Hunter as second world (20 Years before plot)..
