Sylas could feel his mind expanding.

Usually, when his Stat Limits were forcefully increased due to a Title, he would feel a great amount of pain. But ever since he unlocked the Dual Class Constitution, breaking his Stat Limits had become several times easier, and let alone pain, it actually felt quite good.

His flesh, related to his Physical Stats, were just the start. A layer deeper were where his Genes resided, and deeper than that was a mesh system where Gene Talents, and there were several more layers deeper than even that.

So long as he continued to progress like this, one day he was sure to be able to control his body down to the greatest depths.

Finally, he turned his attention to the notifications he had received while his mind was evolving. But what he saw left him without words.

[Quest <Surging Madness Control> Failed]

Sylas almost laughed. Almost.

He wasn't very happy with what he was seeing at all. The Quest did specify creating either an FFF- or FFF Grade version of <Madness Control>. But he didn't expect to be dinged for going

above and beyond.

In the workforce, many jobs didn't like to hire overqualified people because it would usually mean that they were looking for a quick jump-off point. But Sylas could hardly see how that

logic would apply here.

In the end, he chose to comfort himself. After all, it was just a Common Grade Quest anyway. Hopefully, the reward wouldn't have been too great.

But this was a reminder that when the Quest was specific, he should follow it to a tee.

Sylas was about to close the window when there was a sudden flicker. It came not from his notification screen, but rather from the Madness Key.

There was a surge of light from it and he felt a suction force take root.

At that moment, the blaze of flames around him before, the very ones birthed from his Will

that he hadn't noticed earlier.

Suddenly, he recalled a line from earlier.

[You have unlocked your first Progenitor Flame: Progenitor Mastery]

Was this related to that?

This wasn't good. What would it mean for his Progenitor Flame if the Madness Key swallowed

it?

Unfortunately, Sylas could only watch with a frowning expression as it was sucked away.

But then he felt a surge deep within his body.

The Gluttony Seed was surging, its power bubbling forth.

BOOM!

A heart-shuddering aura erupted from Sylas.
