The Over-Break System

POV: Cynrik

Scrolling through and noting the changes in Sie and Vii's Stats, Cynrik nodded in content.

"So their Tier-1 Cap is 1k; interesting, I don't remember that Cat Milo's stat cap being so high." Crouching down and picking up both pint-sized ravens and cradling them in his arms, Cynrik turned to face Tobs.

"Un, although Milo is considered a Mythical Beast, or at least that's what the information on his bloodline states, his Cap in the early Tier's isn't anywhere near as high as your little birds." Nodding cutely and reading off her clipboard, which was hidden from Cynrik's eyes, Tobs confirmed his suspicions.

"Tsk, so that means in the higher Tier's, Vii and Sie will struggle to keep up?" Looking down at the sleeping Ravens, Cynrik couldn't help but want to see them beat Gabby's cat to a pulp since the saber-toothed brat liked to bully them.

"Not necessarily, but in theory, that is how it should be. However, if you consider their abnormal growth rate, and the fact that Vii and Sie both started at Tier-0, whereas Milo started at Tier-1, there is a slight difference between their stats. Think of it in the same vein of thought as how you and the Sanfords are different."

"If either of them had a bloodline, odds are they could catch up to you with relative ease." As she spoke, Cynrik caught sight of the little twitching Tobs' right hand was doing as she looked at the two sleeping ravens, and his lips curved slightly.

He would have to be both blind and dumb not to realize she was fighting the urge to pet them.

"Go on then, Tobs, you don't need to hold back; if you wanna pet them, I won't stop you." Walking over to her, Cynrik expertly adjusted the young woman's arms, and half a second later, she was cradling the sleeping Sielu in her arms tenderly, as if the young raven was the most precious thing in the world.

Cynrik had explicitly chosen to hand over Sie instead of Vii since he knew just how temperamental Vii would be upon waking up in someone other than his arms. Thus he gave Tobs the more gentle of the two ravens.

Meanwhile, while the two shared a moment in Cynrik's SOC, Brance had begun his Evolution.

POV: Brance

-Ending Memory Playback.-

-You have passed your Tribulation quest with an SSS+ Rating. You will receive extra benefits upon completion of your Tier-3 Evolution.-

-Now Commencing Tier-3 Evolution.-

From the bright light of Michael's self-destruction to the darkness of the Aether Capsule, Brance barely had a second to breathe, let alone prepare himself for the seemingly never-ending and world-shattering pain that went along with the Tier-3 Evolution.

It took everything in Brance's being not to break his teeth or bite through his tongue when the Breathing Mana Life Cycle began. This was because he didn't have Cynrik's incredible pain threshold or Melody's Will Power Stat; it was incredibly difficult to even focus on the incoming notifications, let alone study what was transpiring within his body.

-Continuing passed the 50% mark of your Evolution.-

-Commencing Breathing Mana Life Cycle.-

-Burning all Excess Essence stored in the Essence Pool.-

Being no stranger to pain, like his older brother, Brance had a higher tolerance than, say, Gabby or Benny. Still, without it being on the freakishly high side, he could only fight back the urge to scream while praying that the Cycle of deconstruction and reconstruction would end as soon as possible.

One minute turned into five, then ten, then an hour, and Brance reverted to a technique he had learned long ago while training in the Marine Corps. The method has guided millions of people and hundreds of thousands of Military Men and Women in their time of need. Having no other choice, Brance fell back on a well-respected method, which had been taught to him in case he was ever put in a situation where he was being interrogated.

"F..U…C…K…ING HAPPY PLACE!" Brance growled through clenched teeth.

That's right, Brance fought tooth and nail to go to his happy place, which required the person to have a self-contained memory, which they could revert back to and allow them to ignore the harsh reality of what was happening to them.

For some people, it was a beach; for others, it was a childhood memory, but for Brance, it was the day he and Cynrik entered the HBTC for the first time. Sure, it may seem weird, but since DBZ had such a profound effect on himself and his brother during their early years back on Earth, it was a fusion of Reality and Fantasy.

The instant he stepped foot on that pristine white tile, Brance finally realized he was indeed in a world he could have only conceived in his mind.

While his body was destroyed repeatedly, Brance relived his time training with his brother under gravity, chasing down random virtual creatures, and even the final battle against the dreaded Carlisle, of which he didn't share Cynrik's absurd hatred.

-You have completed 66 rotations of the Breathing Mana Life Cycle.-

-You have completed 67 rotations of the Breathing Mana Life Cycle.-

-You have completed 68 rotations of the Breathing Mana Life Cycle.-

While Brance relived his childhood dream, Tobs continued narrating the flood of notifications, explicitly picking up once Brance had passed the 65 Cycle mark.

-Breathing Mana Life Cycle has been completed 120 times.-

-You have reached the utmost limit of times the Cycle can be completed until you advance to a further Stage.-

-Your Mana Body has been entirely constructed.-

-Zero Flaws or Anomalies found with Mana Body Construction.-

-Transferring Host to their Sea of Consciousness.-

When the 120th Cycle had been completed several hours later, he subconsciously felt the pain disappear and opened his eyes within the shining golden mountain ranges of his SOC.

Looking up, he spotted something that hadn't existed before: the presence of an intimidating glowing Sun made of HolyFire. Other than that, his SOC hadn't changed too much.

"Damn it, that was rough, and here I thought I was fully prepared for whatever pain would come. What a crock of shit!" Wearing a frown, Brance made his way over to the preconstructed sixth floor [Radient Tower] that he had assembled after his battle with Michael and entered the first floor, which had been styled after the boys' dorm.

Making his way over to one of the couches, he collapsed on his back and rested his right arm over his eyes. He was thoroughly freaked out by how bad the Breathing Mana Life Cycle was, on top of the fact that his brain still hadn't recovered from the events of his Tribulation Quest.

Heaving a sigh and knowing he was only delaying the inevitable, Brance quickly collected himself and requested that Tobs continue sending the notifications from his Evolution.
