My Bugged System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 185: Supreme magus!

With that fierce, unyielding resolve burning deep within his chest, he slowly turned his body towards a small, heavy door situated at the far side of the luxury suite, which led directly into the specialized inner mana chamber, and a small, highly confident smirk spread beautifully across his lips.

The gateway to his ultimate evolution was standing just a few paces away, completely isolated and packed with the finest refined mana the adventurer guild could possibly offer its elites.

A few minutes later, the luxurious setting of the bedroom was completely left behind as Noah was now seated directly on the hard floor in a large, entirely empty room that served as the inner sanctum of his training quarters.

The atmosphere inside this space was profoundly different from the outside world, completely sealed off from any external noise, wind, or distraction to allow a magus to lose themselves entirely in their work.

The pristine white walls of the large room were lined from top to bottom with a multitude of different yellow, completely dull lines, forming highly complex, strange signs and ancient magical writings that stretched across the entire perimeter.

These intricate patterns were none other than the runes that worked tirelessly around the clock, drawing in the raw environmental mana from deep underground into this specific room, and continuously increasing their quality by filtering out any impurities.

At the present moment, those glowing pathways were now completely and utterly spent though, having been drained of every single drop of their stored power during his frantic cultivation, which was precisely why they currently looked so pale, hollow, and dull against the white walls.

Noah had been utterly relentless in his approach, turning his body into a massive, unstoppable vortex that sucked in every single ounce of the refined yellow lines until they were left entirely empty and dry.

The heavy, static silence of the spent chamber was suddenly broken as Noah slowly opened his eyes, and they were a brilliant, incredibly bright golden in color, pulsing with a raw, almost divine intensity that lit up the entire space.

The sheer volume of compressed magic resting inside his soul was so immense that his pupils looked like twin suns, radiating a predatory energy that completely dominated the room.

He let out a long, slow breath, a faint mist of golden vapor escaping his lips as he stabilized his newly restructured core.

He blinked his eyes smoothly, and the blinding golden light immediately receded back into the depths of his soul, allowing his eyes to return completely to their normal, calm blue color.

A deep, profoundly satisfied smirk spread across his face as he looked down at his hands, feeling the near-limitless ocean of pure, high-quality mana humming perfectly beneath his skin.

He couldn’t help but let out a soft, triumphant whisper, muttering quietly to the empty room, "Finally... supreme magus."

Absolutely no one else in the entire guild headquarters, the capital city, or the surrounding nations knew about this historical occurrence, but the tenth supreme magus had just officially appeared in the world!

However, it wasn’t some old magus who had cultivated for hundreds of years without stopping, but a mere nineteen year old kid casually breaking through the rank.

If he had previously thought he was remarkably powerful when breaking through to the other lower ranks in the past, then this current amount of power was one that he couldn’t even begin to describe with ordinary words.

The sheer scale of the change was completely beyond anything he had ever anticipated, dwarfing his previous advancements as if they were nothing more than a drop of water compared to a vast ocean.

He slowly clenched his fists right there in the center of the empty training room, taking a moment to test the baseline reaction of his newly evolved physical form.

The moment his fingers closed tightly into a grip, he could vividly feel the actual air immediately surrounding his knuckles begin to tremble and warp from the sheer intensity of the power flowing through him.

His physical body was no longer just a shell; it had become a literal weapon of mass destruction, humming with a terrifying frequency that vibrated through the stone floor beneath him.

As he basked in the overwhelming, indescribable sensation of his ascension, a series of notifications suddenly appeared before his vision.

[Congratulations Host! You have broken through the Supreme mages rank, the final rank of the Supreme Magus system!]

[Rewards Granted: +50 to all stats, +15000 mana, +4000 health points]

[Congratulations Host! As the first to cross this milestone, you have been granted additional rewards!]

[Additional Rewards: +50 to all stats, +15000 mana, +4000 health points]

Noah’s eyes widened, his breath catching sharply in his throat as he locked his gaze onto the glowing text floating in front of his face.

He completely froze in place, his initial wave of triumphant joy suddenly getting cut short as he noticed something highly specific and deeply unsettling about the wording of the newest notification.

’As the first to cross this milestone... does this highly specific phrasing mean... that there are actually other people out there in the world operating with systems of their own?’ he thought.

The sheer concept was profoundly terrifying, opening up a massive rabbit hole of questions that threatened to completely change his understanding of the world and his unique position within it.

In truth, he had always considered the faint, distant possibility of other people being out there with the Supreme Magus System at some point during his journey, keeping it in the back of his mind as a wild theory.

However, he had never really thought deep into the matter or investigated it further. He had treated his system like an absolute, one-of-a-kind miracle meant solely for him, an exclusive cheat code to help him grow stronger.

The system’s choice of words on this breakthrough m increased that possibility by a massive margin though.

By specifically labeling him as "the first" to reach this destination, the interface heavily implied that there was a race going on, a collective group of individuals climbing the exact same ladder under the guidance of the exact same mechanical system.

It absolutely couldn’t have meant he was the first supreme magus to ever exist in human history, since according to the history of magic there had been nine other legendary supreme magi who had walked the earth before him.

Those historical figures were celebrated in textbooks and guild records for their god-like feats during ancient times, long before Noah was even born.
