[Compiling all the information gathered...]

[Formulating plan for efficiently completing 'System Sacrifice...']

[Teleporting host into system's personal dimensional zone...]

********************

In the dead silent room where Lark was sleeping on the bed peacefully awaiting his death patiently, suddenly darkness crept the corner of the room which soon engulfing the entire room

Lark was instantly alarmed as he immediately activated all his defensive and sensory gears to search the area around him

But he was shocked even more now, there was nothing within the 10,000 km sensing area of his, there was only.. Darkness, darkness that surrounded him in all directions from left-right, front-back, top-bottom, he was not even standing on anything like he was just suspended there in the middle of darkness

'Isn't this awfully similar to the cliché trope when one transmigrates, where a random old man will pop out of nowhere and say "young man please forgive me,I am actually a god and because of my careless mistake you died, but don't worry I will send you to another world with cheat, ...but the problem is I have already transmigrated, now I should be reincarnating soo.. I guess it should be like "young man please forgive me, because of my carelessness I forgot to give you a cheat, so as a compensation I will reincarnate you back when you where young with extra cheat!" '

Even though Lark was amusing himself in his own thoughts he was actually extremely cautious right now and is ready to launch a full power strike with his offensive gears at any time, years of fighting, plotting and schemes had already steeled his nerves and made his cautiousness and alertness a second nature to him

But what happened later was only a bit out of expectations of his

[Welcome host, I am your designated system, Please calm your mind and prepare mentally for the system fusion process]

[Initiating 'System Sacrifice'...], a mechanical voice rung in his head

'system uh..', without thinking much about it, he immediately started calming his mind by taking deep breaths as he was already expecting to feel excruciating pain all over his body after he heard <system fusion process> even though he was a bit sus about the 'System Sacrifice' part as it sounds very ominous..

Although he was still a bit cautious, he didn't ask 'who are you?' or 'what did you do to me?' or 'where did you bring me' because he knew, even before the protagonist finishes his statement excruciating pain will start tormenting them

"AARRRGGGGGGAAAAAAAA....!!!"

Just as he expected he started feeling excruciating pain in his heart as if there was thousand sharp needles puncturing his heart

Only after 5 min the pain stopped, but those 5 minutes felt like it was 5 years,it is the worst 5 min in his entire life

"F*ck!, that was goddamn awful"

[System has successfully became core gear of host]

[Proceeding with 2nd phase of 'System Sacrifice'...]

After the mechanical voice echoed in head, another scream of agony roared

"AARRRGGGGGGAAAAAAAA...!!!"

Another round of excruciating pain started but this time it was not in the heart but directly In the mind, it was as if brain was severed into numerous tiny pieces

The cries of agony finnaly stopped after 5 more minutes

[System has successfully fused with host's mind]

"huff.. huff..", lark trying his best to breathe properly and trying not to fall unconscious because the after effects of the pain was still present

[...]

[Hey a**hole, are you still alive?]

"what tha f*ck!.."

[Good that you are still alive, ok I am going to time travel you now back to when you just completed awakening ceremony]

[I warned you, so act normal when you time travel, don't act like an idiot and make an awkward scene]

"..."

******************

At the end of awakening ceremony...

30 seconds have passed after lark absorbed the remaining small elemental storm cloud into his heart

________________

Immediately after opening the status, his eyes directly went for the <core gear> section to check on the system

'Corrupted system?'

[Actually I am supposed to be growth grade but because of you I had to use 'System Sacrifice', due to that now I became corrupted system and my grade became 'special']

'Because of me?, how is this my fault? what did I do?'

But before system could respond, their conversation was interrupted by Lark's dad, Stark

"Lark, how is it?, did you check your status?, what is your core gear?"

'oh right, I should first deal with this situation, let's have our conversation later system'

'hmm.. at this age I am not supposed to know what special grade is, so...'

He turned his head towards his dad with a confused expression

"Dad it says my core gear is special rank, what is special grade? is it something good?, also why is there no name for my core gear"

"Special grade!!!", his parents spoke in unison while both their faces twisted a bit

"Special grade?, no name?!",

"Mom, what is special grade?",

"We have never heard about special grade, what is it?",

"Is special grade better other ranks or worse?",

As such his siblings bombarded their parents with many questions in confusion, hearing their questions there was an awkward forced smile with a tint of disgust on his parent's face while they try their best to hide it
