Jet forced his failing consciousness to awaken as he saw the bright, red glitching screens popping up abruptly in front of his failing eyes.

”F-finally... the Red Moon System has appeared,” Jet thought, his fractured mind desperately clinging to that singular point of cold reality.

The dense, rapid popping up of the notification screens continued to descend in front of his blurring vision, flashing with blinding intensity against the crimson-soaked dark walls of his locked bedroom.

Jet’s consciousness was slowly slipping away into darkness, but he forced himself to stay awake. He didn’t want to miss a single frame of this historic scene.

He had waited ten years in a past life and gone through thirty days of pure torment in this one just to witness this exact moment.

His entire body was actively wrecking with so much intense pain that his vision felt entirely white and burning hot, but he gritted his teeth, tearing his own cracked lips as he fought to remain conscious.

Just then, another rapid set of warning screens descended in front of him, accompanied by the cold, neutral voice ringing directly in his mind, which seemed to forcibly shock his fading consciousness to stay awake for a few moments longer.

[ Divine Rune Scan Complete. ]

[ Total Divine Runes Detected: 10. ]

[ SSS-Rank Divine Runes: 10/10. ]

[ WARNING! ]

[ An unprecedented awakening configuration has been detected. ]

[ Attempting simultaneous synchronization... ]

That was the exact millisecond when Jet’s awakening pain went from terrible to completely, utterly insane.

His ten tattoos began activating all at once, drawing massive, unrefined torrents of cosmic mana straight from the blood-red sky.

The Primal Yin-Yang mark burned violently into his forehead, feeling as if a white-hot soldering iron were drilling directly through his skull. Across his full back, the Eight-Armed Asura tattoo pulsed with a terrifying heat, the dense ink expanding as though additional, physical arms were trying to violently tear themselves out of his ribs and shoulders.

The massive serpent of Ouroboros started moving, its scaled form constricting beneath his skin and crushing his stomach.

His entire central nervous system instantly hit a terminal overload.

[ WARNING! ]

[ ERROR! ]

[ Host cannot sustain simultaneous awakening of ten SSS-Rank Divine Runes. ]

Jet, with his tiny remaining shred of consciousness, was completely shocked by the dense amount of error messages flashing before him.

He couldn’t process all of this chaotic information at once.

On one hand, his entire physical body was being violently torn apart from the inside out, his skin splitting and blood spraying across the floorboards.

On the other hand, his mind was being forcefully filled with so much system data that it was accelerating his loss of consciousness.

[ CRITICAL ERROR! ]

[ Host death imminent. ]

[ Estimated survival probability: 0.003%. ]

[ Beginning Emergency Seal... ]

”W-wh... what the hell do you mean by that?!”

Jet was deeply shocked. He didn’t even have a single second to process whatever the system was doing before another massive stream of cold notifications descended directly upon him, shattering his plans.

”What the fuck!”

Jet, who was barely conscious on the blood-slicked floor, wanted to yell out in pure frustration, but the physical torment was too overwhelming for him to even move a single finger.

The nine supreme formats he had painstakingly sketched and paid millions to engrave were being forcibly locked away right in front of him.

[ Eight-Armed Asura: AWAKENED. ]

Jet really wanted to cry. The psychological whiplash was devastating. He had just gone through absolute biological hell to awaken these ten Divine Runes, and now nine of them were being locked behind system walls.

The sheer pain of regret he was feeling in his heart was almost worse than the physical burning.

[ Congratulations. ]

Jet lay perfectly flat there, his entire body thoroughly soaked in thick, pooling blood. He looked like a complete mess.

His skin was cracked, his clothes were ruined, and he looked much more like a mangled corpse pulled from a dungeon collapse rather than a living human being.

Only the faint, shallow rising and falling of his chest indicated that he was still alive.Just then, the blinding physical pain he was feeling started to rapidly subside, leaving behind an absolute numbness.

His mind couldn’t hold on to reality any longer, and he finally lost consciousness completely.

But right before his vision gave out into total darkness, one final, glitching set of blood-red notifications appeared silently in the center of the air.
