Chapter 47: Back To Back Ascension
[Host Lacks Natural Power....]
[Skill Locked For Host’s Safety.]
That this system could independently make such decisions tells Ben that it was at least semi-conscious.
Ben never considered that it was the goddess doing this simply because the goddess would never speak to him in such a polite manner, not to mention calling him ’host’.
"Hey, system. Are you there ?"
Ben spoke out loud, crossing his fingers and hoping the system would respond...
But unfortunately, after waiting for several minutes, no such reply came. It was now clear that the system only intervenes in such situations.
Ben then decided to focus on the message from the system. It was actually quite clear what he needed to do.
If he lacks natural power and he needs natural power in order to be able to use this new ability, then all he needed to do was become a supernatural knight, and that should solve the problem.
Though he still wonders why he needed to have natural power to use this system ability when the system can freely increase his dick size without it.
Ben figured there were still some mechanics behind the system he still doesn’t understand fully, but he has ample time to explore them.
Now it was finally time to push his realm as much as his current sex points would allow, whilst still having enough remaining to use for the shop.
Accessing his system, Ben navigated to the realm section with the options appearing to him.....

With Ben’s current sex points balance, the most he will be able to get his realm to would be ’Master Knight’, just a step below ’Noble Knight’.....
But that was more than good enough since he believes that aside from the mistress and the large-chested lady, there won’t be anyone else at or close to the noble realm in the estate...and he was on friendly terms with both of them.
"Master Knight is good enough.....at least for now."
"System...raise realm to Apprentice Knight!"
Ben had to do this since he found out he couldn’t jump over realms; it had to be step by step.
The moment the words left Ben’s mouth, he felt a searing pain ravaging through his entire body, prickling, tearing, and reorganizing...
"Arrrrghhhhh!!!....Fuck!!"
Ben wailed as his knees instantly collapsed to the floor, clutching his body as he felt he was being unmade and remade from his deepest, most fundamental atomic structure.
He was sweating profusely and his temperature alternating from extreme hotness to extreme cold. One moment he was burning up and the next he was freezing up as he lay flat on the ground....
His physical body was undergoing what usually takes months, and for some untalented ones, it could even take years.
"Damn it!... didn’t know it would be this painful!" He yelled as the experience continued for several minutes....
Until suddenly, a strange calming presence that felt to Ben like a summer breeze and the sensation of a quiet, tranquil storm mingling into one began to rush into Ben, rapidly putting out the ravaging pains as it seeped into every part of his reformed self.
"Is this... natural power?" Ben murmured incredulously as he felt this power seep inside him, settling in like it’s always been there... and at the same time, the excruciating pain that had been ravaging through him slowly tapered out until it was only a memory.
"Phew... that was... an experience," Ben murmured as he got back up....
However, the speed at which he got back up seemed almost... unnatural... supernatural even.
"Is this only the apprentice realm ?" He muttered as he felt his senses heightened; his reflexes and vitality had more than doubled.... Even the strength in his muscles as he furled and unfurled his palm had improved a lot.
And most importantly, he could feel the quiet humming of that foreign energy inside him.
Instinctively, Ben knew how to channel this power, bringing it from its passive state of just strengthening the body to its active state of implementing an attack.
But he couldn’t project it outwards like Faerwyn had done the other time... that privilege is reserved for those who had attained the noble realm.
Roughly sensing the natural power flowing through his every muscle and atom, Ben could tell he had undergone a fundamental change... he was no longer a mortal.
According to the scriptures he read, Apprentice knights can even live up to one hundred and twenty years before they succumb to age.
But Ben wasn’t stopping at Apprentice Knight... it was only the first step since he couldn’t just jump straight to master knight.
Inferring from what he read, at Aprentice knight, one could still be killed by modern weapons from Ben’s world.
And at Warrior Knight, though they are not impervious to such weapons, if given enough time to rest and naturally heal from injuries, they would survive.
However, from Master Knight, it becomes the realm of supernaturals, and the person becomes nearly impervious to most modern warfare tools Ben could think of, except the really strong ones or an overpowering barrage of these weapons.
From that point onwards, it depends solely on your quantity and quality of natural power, which is heavily tied to your knight realm.....
And it becomes doubly so for Mahji’s who wield ridiculous unpredictable abilities that put them above ordinary knights of the same realm.
Steeling his resolve and knowing from experience how horrible the pain was to ascend realm... Ben spoke again....
"System...raise realm to Warrior Knight!"
Again, the same excruciating pain followed at Ben’s utterance, only this time, it was nearly doubled.
"Arghh!!"
Ben fell to the floor as he began to change again; he could even feel his physique transforming to match his growing strength.....
And just as the soothing feeling of surging natural power began to settle in, indicating the process had come to an end, gritting his teeth, Ben uttered once more....
"System...raise realm to Master Knight!"
