[ Warrior Grey has been granted the title 'Limit Breaker' for transcending his limits as a mortal without ranking up.]
[ Congratulating the warrior For achieving the impossible.]
I have read these notifications nearly hundreds of times, yet the surprise and excitement they provide never cease to amaze me. I am literally getting goosebumps right now, as gaining titles is as difficult as using one's soul for their job.
The fact that obtaining such an overpowered legacy wasn't enough to grant me a title speaks volumes about the nature of titles. They are rare, almost impossible to achieve without gaining acknowledgment from the will of Heaven and Earth.
—————————————
Limit breaker: granted to the warrior for achieving the impossible by breaking the limits of a mortal body without ascending to a higher rank.
[Limit Breaker]
Type: Title(Passive)
Rarity: Epic
Effect: [Ascended Might] [Rune Amplification] [Unleashed Potential] [Limitless Mastery]
[Ascended Might] Elevates the warrior's physical attributes to extraordinary levels, upgrading every attribute by one entire rank. This ability grants unparalleled strength, agility, Defense, and Vitality, making the warrior a formidable force on the battlefield.
[Rune Amplification] Expands the warrior's capacity to wield runes, increasing the limit by +3 for common rank runes, +2 for uncommon rank runes, and +1 for rare rank runes. This also slightly enhances any runes that the holder has inscribed on their being.
[Unleashed Potential] Unleashes the warrior's potential granting them the ability to attain godhood, imbuing them with divine blessings and favor. This ability increases the likelihood of the warrior ascending to a higher plane of existence, unlocking divine powers and insights.
[Limitless Mastery] Enables the warrior to exert their full power without any drawbacks or limitations while utilizing any skills or abilities. This ability also allows the holder to master any type of weapon or combat style while allowing them to unleash their maximum potential in battle.

The title was rare since they were able to grant such amazing effects to anyone who could obtain them. Even my own title granted me with four 'Quirks' that strengthened my very being.
Ascended Might increased my four basic attributes by one entire rank making my strength go all the way up to 'B+', making me equivalent to the warrior who had specialized 'Strength' and ranked up themselves through this very attribute. I was even stronger than the lord of our town now. I could literally battle him for the position of lord of this town.
"Batte for Supremacy." If you will!!
"Why not visit the town of Lumia and have fun killing the lord of that town who was still mulling over the problem of 'Dungeon Break??"
I couldn't help but muse over this thought as I was practically as powerful as him right now with all the runes and my strength that was in the Rank of elites right now.
" Nah… It can stop for now. I will focus on strengthening myself even more before thinking about joining the fray there." I decided to wait for about a month before moving towards the city that I loathed till today. I wanted to relish all the excitement I got while killing that son of a 'breach', overwhelming him, breaking his will to live in the process. I wasn't going to kill him in one swoop, it was going to be a fun hunt if I had to say.
As for Rune Amplification, it increased the number of runes I could inscribe on my being while also enhancing the effectiveness of the runes already inscribed. This was a great effect for me since I was walking the path of runes, making them an integral part of my strength. Hence, I readily accepted anything that allowed me to inscribe more runes on myself.
Unleashed potential, it was an intriguing effect of the title I had obtained. The ability to attain godhood, it was something fear-inducing but yet exciting concept at the same time. I had now got the potential to touch the realms of gods, which almost felt like a dream even after learning about the presence of such beings from the Legacy.
"Yup, I had been able to learn about the presence of such mighty beings through the legacy."
Those beings were slightly touched upon by the legacy while describing about itself.
And finally, Limitless Mastery was the dream effect of any warrior out there. Having to bear no setbacks even after utilizing the most demanding skills or abilities that strain one's body and mind was already powerful. But the added weapon and combat mastery made it even amazing trait to have.
"Imagine being able to use the most famous straining skill belonging to warriors specializing in strength, 'Beserk' without any setback that would make them lose around 50% of their strength for a certain duration as per the strain their body had been forced to work into."
Anyone with this skill was going to be a beast in human form if the limitations were to be lifted from their bodies.
Any of the effects granted to me by the title was something that could only be dreamt by, but never to be earned by even powerful warriors that ruled their own region. And here I was, nonchalantly looking at these effects as if they were supposed to be mine from the beginning.

Outside the dungeon….
I looked towards the somewhat desolate waiting area with bright eyes. I was in a great mood since the benefits I had obtained after entering this dungeon were the greatest of anything I had obtained till now.
" Was it the happiness that I was going to get for all the pain I had been forced into??"
Or,
" Was it fate slowly uncovering my destiny??"
These were questions filling my mind.
As I walked, I questioned myself trying to find the answers to the questions nobody in the world might have answers to. My head was hung low as I was deep in thought.
"Oii..."
Somebody tugged at my long coat taking me out of my reverie.
"Oii... Don't be sad. Cheer up and let's have some fun tonight. The drinks are on my party's tab." It was the voice that demanded attention, not because it was intimidating but because it was enchanting.
I looked towards the owner of this voice with some curiosity as it was the first time someone had offered something to me on their own accord. The lady was beautiful but I was not in the mood to socialize myself with her party today.
"Oh, I apologize. I was lost in thought," I politely declined the beautiful lady's invitation and continued toward my house, ignoring the party behind me.
" Hmm… Was there some reason for that party to specifically approach me??" I thought briefly before shaking off those idiotic thoughts from my mind.
" Should have activated the rune before exiting the Dungeon!"
I even activated the 'Rune of Stealth' after walking towards the alleyway that was devoid of any creature before going towards my house.

Back at the party Grey had just left...
"Why were you so insistent on talking to that lad? Don't tell me you've fallen for him, Captain?" A scrawny middle-aged man teased the beautiful lady who had been looking towards the area Grey had disappeared from with bewilderment.
"Haha... He does pique my interest. Nothing serious, though," the lady chuckled in response to the man's teasing before turning her attention back to where Grey had vanished. She then instructed her party to enter the dungeon, paying little heed to anything else around her.
"Yes, Captain," the rest of the party nodded in agreement before heading into the dungeon.
The waiting area was once again desolate, devoid of anyone as the party had entered the Dungeon.

Inside the house…
I lay down on my bed looking at the sunlight peeking through the window. I was still reeling in the experience from the dungeon, remembering everything about this dungeon raid in great detail.
" It was a wild ride," I thought before drifting into the world of dreams filled with lush greenery and a beautiful sky dotted with three pearls.
" The meeting with the party earlier. It was already thrown at the back of my mind, never to be remembered."
I was instead reeling in the magical presence around me. It felt like something inside the dream was calling to me, trying to speak with me. But I wasn't able to decipher anything I was being told by the swirling magical energies and dancing trees that were encapsulating me.

Knock Knock...
My dream was broken by the knocks on my door.
I could only begrudgingly wake up from my bed and walk towards the hallway to open the door. I was also interested to know the reason for somebody knocking on my door as I wasn't someone who loved to mingle with the people in my neighborhood that much.
"I would nod at them with a smile on my face."
This was all the interaction I had with the people of my neighborhood. So, having someone knock on my door this early was something unusual for me.
Creak.....
I peeked outside the door, trying to find anyone who could have knocked on the door.
Swishh.....
I was instead treated by the morning wind that nearly blew my mind, it was cold as if it had passed through the icy mountains before entering the town.
No one was there but I could see two heads peaking out of the tree in front of my house. The smile plastered on their faces gave them away as they were the culprits who had destroyed my beautiful dream.
I could only slam the door shut and return to my bed while shaking my head in frustration.
"I wasn't going to harm them for harmless pranks. I hadn't stooped so low as to enjoy terrorizing innocent kids just for waking me up with their harmless pranks."
