Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

Sitting down in the middle of a grassy field with nothing else to see for miles, I slowly opened my eyes with delight as something I had not expected to accomplish at any time in the near future had been successfully completed.

According to Blanca's words, the comprehension of elements had different levels and, therefore, additional hurdles. From what I could see, there were four hurdles one needed to get past, and thus four levels to comprehension, even though I doubted that would be the case.

The comprehension levels are as follows:

Basic: Completely new with little to no understanding of the element, martial art, or battle art. These usually need help from instructors to learn anything about the element, martial art, or battle art. However, novice's who create their own path while having a high probability of not succeeding are those who rise above and beyond the rest.

Intermediate: A medium understanding of the element, martial art, or battle art. This no longer needs direct guidance and instead requires someone to help them improve their skills further, allowing them to not only refine what they already knew but also learn something new.

Advanced: To become well versed in their understanding and comprehension of the element. This usually gives someone enough knowledge to the point where reaching the next realm of understanding is no longer impossible. Due to their comprehension, they can generally dominate anyone within their realm when it comes to using the same element, martial art, or battle art.

Expert: The ability to call themselves the absolute peak of the realm's comprehension. These individuals fall back on only the intermediate level whenever they ascend, allowing them to become stronger much faster than those who rushed to ascend after reaching the Experienced level.

The reason I doubted that there were only four levels to comprehension was simple. One's understanding of something cannot cap out at a certain point. One can always learn and understand further because logically, they probably don't know everything and anything when it comes to the specific field. As Blanca pointed out, comprehension technically resets to the intermediate stage following every ascension, implying that there is always another level of understanding, just that anyone below a specific plane cannot reach it without ascending.

Right now, I have reached the experienced level of understanding. While that might seem high for someone as weak as me, it is pretty low compared to what the system stated when talking about my understanding of the earth element since it had considered it to have been at the superior level due to my previous studies in geology. The only reason I had dropped to the intermediate level had been due to my horrible mana control, but now that it was steadily increasing back to its former glory!

After having stood up, I slowly lifted my hand and repressed my urge to subconsciously activate my earth pillar skill, something that I had been training myself to do for almost two months now without stop.

Since I had been training my skills and abilities almost every day, every single one of them had at least ascended a single level.

[Abilities and Skills-

-Minimap (Lvl 1) ]

While I was capable of leveling up almost all of them, for some reason, I could not level up any of my system-related skills, nor could I even sense that they were beginning to rise in power. Instead, they felt like they were at a stalemate, as if waiting for something...

My only guess was that they would level up alongside the system itself. Therefore, I chose to leave it for now since wasting energy would be a waste of time.

Other than those, I could not level up my absolute defense, a skill that I gained before entering the goblin dungeon but never used due to the situation and its enormous mana cost. The Deathlock skill also couldn't be leveled up, not because it was situational but because it simply did not have a level. However, from what I had heard from Blanca, deathlock was almost like an absolute certainty. If it were to be activated, anything that stood in its path would be eradicated before they could even understand what hit them.

Thinking of this skill made me shudder slightly. However, it still made me somewhat more comfortable since I knew that depending on the situation I was in, I would always have something that would destroy anything and everything, not that I needed it too much since I was technically immortal.

Anyway, after having risen my arm in the air, I called upon the earth element and tried my hardest to circulate mana through my body and out of my hand.

In the next second, my eyes widened as an enormous chunk of earth lifted itself out of the ground and into the air. However, before I could celebrate, I felt as if my energy was being sapped at an enormous rate, making me quickly let go of the chunk of earth that I lifted into the air before exhaling heavily.

[Congratulation! You have learned the earth element skill; Earth Control]

[Ding!]

[Would you like to allow the skill Earth Control to devour the skills Earth Pillar and Earth Spike? Notice: This does not sever your connection with the skills; it just adds them onto Earth Control and increases its level.]

My eyes widened slightly, but my breaths remained ragged and unsteady. After a few more minutes, I finally let out a deep sigh and steadied my stance while looking at the new notification.

After reading it thoroughly, a large smile stretched out of the corner of my lips, a smile that would have caused anyone to shudder to their core. Fortunately, no one was around to witness this scene.

"I'll take it... Anything to become stronger." I said with exhilaration, the smile never leaving my face for a second as I said those words.
