The rise of comics

Suddenly woke up——

A sound came into my ears from near and far away.

"Oh? Someone woke up so quickly."

It was a somewhat rough male voice.

"The soul power is good."

Bruce quickly got up from among the five or six people lying in various directions and stood on the spot.

Shaking his head, which was still slightly dizzy, he first looked towards the source of the sound.

It was a burly man leaning against a lamppost.

He looked to be close to 30 years old. He was about the same height as him, but more bloated and strong, like those bodybuilders who exercised too much.

His thick arms were folded across his chest, his head was slightly lowered, and he had a big brown beard on his chin. He was wearing some kind of full-body armor that looked like leather armor, and he had a huge alloy-shaped ax on his waist. , the shape looks very eye-catching.

"Leo, this guy's appearance looks interesting. Could it be that he was robbed before he was teleported here?"

A female voice that sounded somewhat seductive followed closely. It was a red-haired beauty standing two feet away from the bearded man.

She has a beautiful oval face, a small nose, the same red eyes, and plump and sexy lips. She is tall and graceful, especially wearing a tight black uniform. It perfectly demonstrates her femininity, but something unexpected is... She seems to have a slowly swaying plush tail raised behind her buttocks. If you look closely, you can see her waterfall-like red hair. , and there are also two furry things like cat ears vaguely hidden on the left and right sides.

Bruce stared at her strangely, and she stared at Bruce.

There is no way, who makes the man in front of me have a really good figure, and a handsome face, he looks very tough. Although he has a head of pale hair, his naked and muscular upper body, every muscle in his body seems to be reflecting hormones in the sun. The glory...

Although he only wore a pair of somewhat torn black trousers on his lower body, this dress did not make Bruce look embarrassed.

-

—Although the original temperament of a person is sometimes more highlighted by his clothes, for some people, even with his bare buttocks, his figure can still look majestic and tall enough (such as Dr. Manhattan).

"Ha ha..."

The man known as Leo said nothing.

He was also observing Bruce, but he was a little unsure of the other person's background. Who told them that these transcendents all come from various fields of the infinite universe. Sometimes, even if they meet someone who is extraordinary at the beginning, or even It’s not surprising that the newbie is so unbelievable.

It's just that when this situation is distributed among the entire group of transcendents, it appears to be very rare.

Bruce stared at the two of them for a moment, and suddenly his pupils shrank slightly, revealing a thoughtful look, as if he was recalling something.

At this time, the remaining six people lying next to him began to wake up one after another.

"...Where am I?"

"I feel so dizzy, where am I..."

"Well..."

"..."

Four men and two women are all humanoid creatures. The reason for using this adjective is that Bruce noticed that among these six people, four were more obviously different from normal 'human beings', three were men and one was a woman. The appearance and skin are slightly different from humans. The difference may be in the face, or in the body shape, skin, hair and frame. Among them is a man who also has a fluffy brown tail behind his butt. It just looks a little thicker, and he has more body hair, and he looks more fierce. He is also wearing some kind of hard armor of unknown material. When he stands up, he even looks taller than him, and his strength is, It's comparable to Leo leaning on the telephone pole.

This is a warrior.

A thought flashed through Bruce's mind.

The man was the last one to stand up. When he shook his head and seemed to wake up, a strong evil aura immediately emitted from his body. He turned his head suddenly and looked at the people around him. The man suddenly yelled. stand up.

"who are you??"

A strange language, but strangely enough, everyone could understand it, including Bruce.

It was as if there was some power in the mind that automatically translated it into the meaning they recognized.

"Oh, and there's a guy with power but no brains..."

A look of interest flashed in the eyes of the bearded Leo, who was leaning against the telephone pole.

"Huh? What were you sneaking around there?!"

The strong man with a tail suddenly stretched out his hand, spread his fingers and opened his palm. A white energy quickly gathered in his palm, and then emitted an astonishing temperature. It shot out with a whoosh, towards the big body. Bearded Leo attacked.

The sudden attack of this barbarian made everyone around him look shocked, and three of them even let out a scream in unison, two male voices and one female voice.

But faced with such a sudden energy cannon bombardment, the bearded Leo remained unmoved at all, not even moving his feet.

boom--!

The white energy ball hit him, but an invisible mysterious force seemed to block it for him, and then annihilated the energy ball into little white light particles.

The corners of his mouth curved, and the curved beards on his chin trembled slightly, and the bearded Leo's eyes revealed a hint of mockery.

"It seems I overestimated you. It turns out you're not a 'no brain'... but a newcomer with no brain at all."

"what!!"

The strong man who attacked him suddenly screamed, held his head in his hands, rolled to the ground and twitched violently.

"Think about it, the 'Master' should have transmitted everything into your brains."

Without looking at the man rolling and twitching on the ground, the bearded Leo raised his hand and pointed at his temple.

At this moment, everyone apparently discovered that there seemed to be something unusual in their memories.

That's about a description about a thing called "The Transcendent"...

In the infinite dimension of the universe, some rare and lucky people will be randomly awarded the "Mark of the Transcendent", and the mark will be integrated into their souls, allowing them to transform into an extremely special type in this vast and infinite universe. exist--

transcendent.

No one knows where the [Mark] came from, and no one knows who chose them, but as long as they have the Mark of the Beyonder, they can go to any multiverse with the power of the mark that is deep in their souls. Dimensions, countless universes, and countless wonderful and different worlds are waiting for their exploration and discovery.

And the price is just to follow a few 'little' rules.

"I don't know if there are more powerful characters among you, but you are just newcomers. I give you a piece of advice. Quickly position yourself and adapt to the current changes. Only then can you ensure that you become a qualified [Transcendent] ."

The bearded Leo's voice was rough, with a hint of calm hoarseness.

In fact, according to his experience, the newbie mission this time does not have any exaggerated and demanding basic difficulty.

The lack of high difficulty means that there are no truly unbelievable newcomers in this team.Otherwise, the 'Master' will definitely adjust the balance of the entire team.

"The most important thing is, don't try to challenge the rules set by the 'Master'. The first rule of the Transcendent is that you are never allowed to actively attack your 'teammates'. Violators... extract one percent of their souls, don't do it." Underestimate this punishment. This kind of soul extraction, even if it is only [-]%, will make the person being extracted feel miserable. Therefore, before you have any thoughts and actions, it is best to accept and adapt to your new identity as soon as possible. Otherwise...this guy's appearance may be your fate next."

Leo said calmly, but everyone who listened felt their scalps numb.

Looking at the pitiful howling of the strong man at his feet, the sound may sound like he has lost an arm or broken a thigh, but it is nothing more than that.

"...very good."

Seeing that no one spoke, the bearded Leo nodded with satisfaction.

"I am the senior person assigned to this new team. You can call me Leo. Because of the rules, you can ask me some questions. I will answer according to my mood."

"You can also ask me. You can call me Lilith."

The red-haired woman next to him added with a smile.

As 'newcomers', these people looked at each other, obviously having difficulty adapting to the unexpected situation for a while.

Moreover, they did not know each other, and they were both wary and scared. It was just a strange scene. They spoke different languages ​​but could understand each other. The fierce man's hand emitted energy balls like light waves, and even He was rolling around in pain on the ground, and the memories that appeared out of thin air in their minds... All these made them not believe what the bearded Leo said.

"What do you mean by mission?"

The first one to break the silence was Bruce.

"good question."

The bearded Leo looked at him with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. The newcomer's calmness showed that he had begun to adapt to this sudden change.

"This is exactly what you will face next. For those who transcend, the 'master' will issue tasks and participate. Participation can be considered mandatory, but there are rules."

Leo spoke slowly.

"In principle, a transcendent must accept a mission every natural month. You can choose basic missions of five levels: E, D, C, B, and A. The higher the mission level you participate in, the more time you can delay in participating in the mission. It will get bigger.”

"For example, the lowest E-level mission is a mission that must be participated in once every calendar month, but if you accept a D-level mission, the time limit will be pushed to two months. And the C-level mission is three months. The rest period for B-level missions is half a year, and for A-level missions... it's one year. Even above this, there are legendary S-level missions, but S-level missions are special. For you, that's still too early. ”

"Special...what kind of special method?"

Finally someone else couldn't help but ask.

"I knew someone would want to know."

The bearded Leo seemed to have expected that he would not be able to sell the situation.

He glanced at the man who asked the question and said calmly.

"The duration of S-level missions is the same as that of A-level missions. After completion, the rest period is valid for one year. However, as long as you participate in ten S-level missions, you will no longer be forced to choose missions permanently."

"How about it? Doesn't it sound wonderful?"

At this time, Lilith chuckled on the side.

"But you don't understand what kind of existence S-level missions are. Let alone S-level missions, even the current D-level missions may be in danger of a narrow escape for you."

"The more advanced the task, the more dangerous it is. The difficulty can be said to be doubled, and the difficulty of the task will be dynamically adjusted according to your personal strength. It is said that in our transcendent group, we can complete ten S-level tasks There are only a handful of people who survived and were exempted from mission options.”

"The Transcendent group...how many Transcendents are there in total?"

The question was asked by a weak-sounding female voice. She was one of the two newcomers. She seemed to have stepped out of a painting. Her skin was fair, her face was smooth and pleasant, and her facial features were exquisitely proportioned like some kind of A perfect masterpiece, it even makes people feel a little unreal... And she is wearing a long skirt-like clothing with a different style. She is just a little short in stature. She is only about 1.5 meters tall, and she seems to be sixteen or seventeen years old at most.What makes her unique is that she has a pair of pointed, inverted triangular ears.

"Not much. According to the rough estimate of experienced people, it should be several million."

Leo took one more look at the little beauty and answered his question in a low voice.

"millions??"

Everyone was stunned. For such a large group, there are only a handful of words to describe the sentence just now...

Everyone's face turned pale. It seemed that this so-called S-level mission was probably extremely difficult.

'Haha, these two rookies are quite capable of scaring newcomers here.S-level missions were also brought out. Most of these so-called senior members of the rookie team had never even been exposed to C-level missions. "

At this time, a pure male voice quietly sounded in Bruce's heart.

Of course, only he can hear this.
