[Endurance] 1,000,000
[Durability] 1,000,000
[Senses] 1,000,000
Additionally, the extra fields that used to display his innate stats had disappeared.
As if Yeongwoo’s ‘human phase’ had truly come to an end.
‘What… What is this? Is there a stat ceiling? Or is it a limit to the human body?’
As he looked down at his body in bewilderment, a delayed wave of ‘pressure’ suddenly crashed down on him.
Crunch!
“…Kuh!”
The side effects of his extreme stat increase manifested as a massive mental and physical strain.
“Khaaaaah!”
Even his berserker talisman couldn’t suppress this overwhelming force.
Golden flames burst from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Crackle!
—Holy shit?!
“Y-Yeongwoo! Your nose is…!”
As their son spewed flames like a shattered brazier, Jiseon and Jeonggu were too shocked to approach or retreat—they could only stomp their feet anxiously.
“Ku-Kubu! What the hell is going on?!”
Terrified, Jeonggu turned to Kubu for answers, but the administrator simply blinked again.
―It appears that the family head is on the verge of transcending his innate existence.
There wasn’t a hint of hesitation in Kubu’s voice.
After all, Jeong Yeongwoo07 was now the master of the household Kubu served.
So the brief pain he was experiencing as he transcended his human limits was merely a rite of passage that any loyal retainer should accept.
“Kkeeeugh!”
Of course, Yeongwoo himself had an entirely different perspective.
“A-Are you kidding me…?! Is there no way to stop this?!”
The unbearable pain—no, an immense, inescapable fear—was suffocating him.
Then, suddenly…
“Hik!”
His eyes landed on the Aratubank lying on the ground.
At the moment his body began to collapse under the pain, he had unknowingly dropped his shield.
“…!”
The first thing that came to Yeongwoo’s mind was Aratubank's defensive properties.
【Immunity】
| This shield cannot be destroyed and can block most non-physical damage and mental attacks.
【Shared Pain】
| The Redfoot ancestors will bear half of your pain. Your pain will be significantly reduced, and emotional suffering such as guilt and sorrow will also be alleviated.
Gathering the last of his strength, Yeongwoo clung to Aratubank, causing the spirit inside—Song Jungho—to recoil in shock.
∴ What the hell is this brat doing?!
But Yeongwoo had no room to process the other’s bewildered voice.
“Haa…!”
The moment he hugged Aratubank, the pain miraculously halved.
‘Whoa, as expected of a myth……!’
Even so, the mental pressure remained immense.
It felt as if some transcendent force was trying to suppress the presence of a newly ascended powerhouse.
An overwhelming pressure, something that made the very idea of resistance seem impossible, was crushing Yeongwoo’s entire consciousness.
Then—
Ssssssshh……
The flames erupting from his body subsided, and at the same time, the unknown oppressive force weakened.
“Are you… are you insane? I almost died just now.”
As Yeongwoo finally managed to catch his breath, Jiseon spoke up again, picking up where she had left off earlier.
—Did you just say the stat limit is 1,000,000?
“Yes. Even if you have money, you can’t raise it above 1,000,000.
[Endurance] 1,000,000
[Durability] 1,000,000
[Senses] 1,000,000
Thanks to the effect of the jewel Masochism, his Strength had increased exactly by 25%.
‘As expected.’
Even though his stats had hit the cap, external boosts still applied.
“We can surpass the stat limit using equipment effects.”
—What? So, in the end, it’s all about equipment?
“Hm.”
An equipment battle.
That made sense, but it didn’t fully explain the overwhelming strength of the top-tier beings.
‘So just having good gear would make me as strong as the chairman or Mara? That doesn’t quite add up.’
Of course, if someone was covered in dozens of mythical-grade items, it might be possible, but that was practically unfeasible.
Moreover, since the stat cap was 1,000,000, Yeongwoo now had a whopping 6 billion still left unspent.
“I ended up with a lot of leftover money.”
—Oh? Then why don’t you hand that money over to us—
Before Jiseon could finish her sentence, Yeongwoo’s eyes suddenly turned bright blue.
Flash!
—Oh, come on, what now?
Jiseon instinctively took two steps back.
Meanwhile, Yeongwoo was too absorbed in the strange text appearing in his vision.
「You have reached the ‘End.’」
‘…The end?’
He had a vague idea of what it meant.
It likely signified that he had reached the absolute peak of growth possible through conventional means on Earth.
‘Then what’s next? Don’t tell me I’m stuck at the bottom just because I’m from Earth?’
The universe was a place of karma and opportunity.
Having dared to summon third-class beings for a ritual, Yeongwoo had no choice but to believe that.
Required Karma per point: 130 million
Prestige Level 37, with 90% of the requirement filled for the next level.
He didn’t know exactly what kind of position this gave him in the universe, but one thing was certain.
「Lesser beings detected nearby. Caution is advised when using Prestige.」

What he had joked about earlier—killing people with just a glance—had now become his reality.
‘W-Wait, is “lesser being” an official term?’
A chill ran down his spine.
The term “lesser being,” which high-ranking entities used so casually, wasn’t just arrogance born from strength.
From their perspective, the beings around them truly were lesser creatures.
And now, based on his Prestige Level of 37…
—What’s with this guy? Why does he look like that?
“Yeongwoo, are you okay? You don’t look so good…”
Jiseon and Jeonggu, sensing something was off, felt an inexplicable chill as they observed Yeongwoo.
Then, Yeongwoo’s lips curled into a grin.
“Haha, you lesser beings!”
—…What?
“What are you waiting for? Bring me my eyes and my spear at once!”
