The Unlimited Ascension: Reborn as an Extra

As the loud sound of clashing weapons could be heard from the surroundings, Alen opened his eyes inside the Ascension Realm. Suddenly, time itself seemed to halt. He could see a dry leaf, which was floating in midair just a second ago, seem to stop completely. Stretched out everywhere around him was a massive, bloody battlefield.

He stood on top of a heightened rock. Around him, thousands, ten thousands, to even millions of Awakeners were still frozen in the position of fighting. Some were already halted mid-step with a sword resting on their opponent’s neck. Some had already thrust their weapons forward, some were actively dodging, while some were frozen right in the middle of casting a magical spell. People were paused everywhere by time itself, and right in the center of it all, he stood there looking at the surroundings with pure awe.

Just as he was feeling confused about what he had to do here, the familiar system chimes could suddenly be heard inside his brain.

[Ding!]

[Location: The War Zone!]

[Trial: Kill the Person with the Highest Potential!]

[Time Limit: 1 Second]

Alen couldn’t help but frown at the trial prompt. It was bizarre. How could he possibly find the single person with the highest potential when he didn’t even know anything about the people fighting in the area? Yeah, he might be able to judge the people by their auras to see who might be strong, but there was no way for him to literally check millions of people among them.

’Wait a second. The trial specifically mentioned ’potential’, which means it isn’t about their current strength. It is about how much potential they have to grow stronger. How the f*ck am I supposed to know about that?!’

As he cursed under his breath, he suddenly remembered an idea. It was the best, most flawless idea he had remembered since coming to this new world.

’Of course! How could I even forget something so obvious? The more handsome or beautiful the person is in this world, the more potential they have, since their bloodline would be stronger. Then it means I just have to find the best-looking person on the battlefield...’

Without wasting much of his time, he immediately summoned his manifestations. As his body split into pieces, his power was shared evenly, and his consciousness split up. After training hard for a while, he was now able to make two extra manifestations, which meant splitting himself into three active pieces. Every piece would have the exact same strength and consciousness. It meant he was essentially in three places at once.

As his other manifestations had already departed in different directions, he started to roam around the battlefield. It actually felt thrilling, walking around a warzone where people could fight and die, but everything was paused halfway. As he walked past frozen weapons, he felt a sudden itch in his hand, genuinely wanting to test if they really were paused in time. But he controlled himself. He didn’t know if he messed around and the one-second countdown started, he would die even before he could actually kill the chosen target.

’Let’s focus on my main goal here first. Wasting time will get me nothing...’

He began walking, actively searching for the most handsome or beautiful faces. Thankfully, the time was paused; otherwise, it might have taken him months to actually see every face scattered across the massive battlefield. The one second he was given was only to kill the being, which meant he practically might got unlimited time to search, but only got one second to strike.

Just as he walked, he saw a beautiful girl staring daggers at her frozen opponent. He walked near her and tapped his chin thoughtfully.

’Hmph... Could this girl be the one?...’

He thought deeply. The warrior before him was undeniably beautiful, even more than Leviya or any other girl he had seen. Of course, she was less than a goddess-like beauty like Ava, but her figure was showcasing a mature beauty clearly out of place on this battlefield.

’Well, she is beautiful, but she doesn’t look as beautiful as she could be though...’

He unconsciously compared her with Lyris. He imagined Lyris’s face, which was ten times more beautiful than hers: her black hair flowing back to her waist, her beautiful violet eyes staring at nothing, her figure looking perfect, and her flawless face shining even in the darkness.

’Erk—! What am I thinking?! Let’s focus on the current task...’

He dismissed the beautiful warrior and walked away from her. If the current warrior woman was conscious and could have heard his internal thoughts, she would definitely have shifted her target to him and skinned him alive for grading her beauty. No female wants someone to judge them based on their beauty level during a war; what they really want is to see their enemies hate them. Well, for many, at least.

Even Alen thought the same. He didn’t want to judge the women on the basis of their looks. It was just that the trial was based on that logic, so he couldn’t do anything else. He knew boundaries which should not be crossed, and everyone has their own standards to think and judge. Coming back to the main point.

Alen walked around the battlefield, while also checking the mental link of his split consciousness. They had also found two or three handsome faces across the field, but he rejected them as they weren’t handsome enough.

Hours passed by in a blur. Alen finally stood at one particular figure, staring at his face. He actually had to look up just to see the man’s face properly.

The man standing before him was undeniably handsome. More handsome than many other guys he had seen up until now. His skin was pale white, with a sharp jawline along with sharp eyes which stared dangerously at his frozen opponent.

’Would girls really like such a handsome guy?’

The guy’s face was, of course, handsome, but there was still one problem. His body was incredibly bulky and large. His height was at least double Alen’s own. Even the combined mass of his three manifestations wouldn’t be enough to match him.

’Damn, how am I supposed to know if girls would like such a gigantic man? It is not like I have done some kind of PhD in women’s preferences and wants so that I would know about that.’

After overthinking that stuff, he shook his head.

"Well, it is impossible to know about women’s psychology unless you are a woman. But even so, I can tell this guy might intimidate most women if he even tried to charm them. Urghh... Just thinking about him makes me want to throw up... Sigh..."

Just as he was staring at the giant man, he got an urgent signal from his other manifestation. As he checked the mental link, switching his vision to his other manifestation, he checked what was happening. A woman was standing there. Her figure was tall, even taller than him, maybe 6.3 feet if he assumed correctly.

Her figure was slim and beautiful, and her body was perfectly shaped. She stood there with her lips pressed tightly together like she was gritting her teeth in rage, and her long hair was tied back in a neat ponytail.

But the unique thing wasn’t her hair. It was her chest. Two giant mountains were laying there. It was terrifyingly big, large enough to intimidate Alen. He felt that even his entire face might be able to fit right between the gaps.

’Ughh...!! What the f*ck am I even thinking?!’

He quickly turned his eyes away in embarrassment. His third manifestation came walking over. The manifestation, the exact one who had found her earlier, was staring at her chest constantly, while his ears turned bright red.

’Damn, I didn’t know that my other manifestations would develop different personalities of their own... Damn f*cking pervert.’

"Hey, don’t look at her chest! It is a bad habit!" Alen scolded his manifestation.

His other manifestation just waved his hand lazily, dismissing his original body’s words while he kept staring directly at her chest.

’F*ck, they are not listening to me! Damn it...’

His second manifestation walked toward the perverted clone who was still looking at her chest, and then brutally kicked him right in the middle of his legs.

The clone fell hard on the ground as his eyes turned blank from the agony. But Alen didn’t care about the clone falling. What he cared about was that he was suddenly feeling the exact same amount of intense pain as that guy. He himself fell to his knees in pure agony.

"Damn, both of my manifestations are nuts! F*ck them!..."

He raised his trembling hand and merged both of the clones together to form a brand new, single manifestation, desperately hoping some different, better personality would be formed.

His new manifestation walked toward him, grabbing his arm and helping him stand up after the sharp pain finally subsided. Alen steadied himself, looking around the battlefield.

"Well, I don’t think that woman is the most beautiful... Well, most guys might like her giant chest, but forget it, I am not that kind of guy..."

He looked away, searching in other places. Time seemed to pass by slowly as he searched through the whole battlefield around the area, looking for some ethereal beauty to stab.

Alen genuinely felt like he was a weird pervert going on a hunt for beauties. But what could he even do? His standards had been raised quite high after comparing so many different beauties. But at least he understood one thing for sure: he had learned how to compare who was more beautiful than the other. If anyone ever asked him to judge a beauty contest among a series of women, he could easily guess the winner now, as he had seen many from up close.

As the search remained constant, suddenly, the unexpected happened.

[Ding! Trial is going to resume in 10 seconds! Kill the Person with the Highest Potential!]

Alen couldn’t help but suddenly feel incredibly tense as the time ticked down by the second. As the seconds neared a close, he couldn’t help but feel panicked. His eyes widened in terror as he looked at the nearest guy, who was looking like the most handsome guy among everyone else nearby.

He didn’t know if his rushed guess would be right or wrong, but he had no other choice left. He summoned Godless in the form of a dagger. The Crimson Essence coiled tightly around the dark blade like a deadly serpent.

"Let’s bet it all on this..."
