Transmigrated as a Ghost

As the remains of the Dread Burrower fell from the sky proving that the threat had been destroyed, everyone received at least one notification from the system.

For Boreas and Jaela each one of them leveled up once for gaining the achievement of defeating a doomsday class monster, while others of lowers levels gained multiple levels.

‘You have leveled up to level 53.’

‘You have leveled up to level 54.’

‘You have leveled up to level 55.’

Marcus received a continuous stream of level up messages, far more than he ever had.

Before the most he had leveled up at once was three levels, but he continued to level up nine times before eventually stopping.

He now sat at level sixty-one and had just experienced and unprecedented amount of growth in power._.

Still, he had kind of hoped her would get more since he had just helped beat a monster over forty-levels higher than himself, but he received experience equal to his contributions.

However, while he was thinking that everything was done, and he was about to go over and talk to the others, he received two other notifications.

‘You have acquired the title, Savior. Unique skill, Shield of the Just, acquired.’

‘You have received a new message from the administrator.’

Hearing these last two notifications Marcus was baffled by the first and grimaced at the second.

Unfortunately, he did not really have the time to look at them right now as everyone else was gathering around a specific spot.

Looking towards them all he could see that they were looking up, and as he turned his gaze that way, he could see a glimmering object falling from the sky.

For a moment he thought that maybe they had not succeeded and that this might be some sort of revival skill that the Dread Burrower had, but he quickly shook that thought off.

If it had truly not died than he would not have gotten all of the level ups and other notifications.

Heading on over to join the others, Marcus looked straight up as well, and saw that what was falling was actually a huge magic core.

It easily had a diameter of around three hundred feet and was by far the biggest core he had ever seen.

Though in comparison to the monster it had been a part of, in all actuality it was quite small, but it was still a massive core.

Eventually when it had finally made it into range of their group, Ardea went up and grabbed it out of the sky and brought it back down.

Everyone then looked around at each other as they all internally thought about what to do with this core.

There was no doubt it was very high quality, and not something that could be acquired normally.

“So, who is going to take it?” Asher said, not seeming interested himself.

Naturally he did not believe that his contributions to the fight were enough to warrant him taking something this valuable.

He looked towards both Boreas and Jaela who had delivered the finishing blow and were no doubt the reasons for their success.

They were both the only ones here that had been over level ninety, and it only seemed naturally that one of them should receive the Dread Burrower’s core.

Yet, Gwyneira instead looked towards someone else, and said, “I believe that we should give it to Marcus. While he is the lowest level of all of us here, there is no doubt he has done the most to secure us this victory. He is the one that brought us all together, and I can say that many of us would be dead if not for his interventions. And let us not forget his sacrifice. He destroyed himself to give us a chance to fight back when the Doomsday Worm had erected its unbreakable barrier. Without him, we may have been unable to win, and it is certain that many more people would have died.”

After Gwyneira brought this up, everyone began thinking back to what Marcus had done during this battle.

Truthfully, he had brought them all together as the first one to discover the Dread Burrower.

He used all of his connections that he had built up to reach out to those powerful enough to actually combat this threat.

Along with that his sacrificial attack had been one of the most impactful throughout the entire multiple day battle.

“I am willing to agree with Gwyneira on this matter. What about you miss Jaela?” Boreas said, ceding his right to the Dread Burrower’s magic core and falling in line with his wife.

Nodding her head and smiling at Marcus, she said, “I concur. We have done a great deal, but I do not think anyone did more than Marcus here.”

With the two strongest people in agreement, everyone else gave their support toward Marcus, believing he was deserving of this impeccably high-grade magic core.

Marcus for his part was stunned by this, not expecting to have been given something so valuable.

This core could be used to make an incredibly powerful item, and he figured that those at the higher levels would really want it.

Still, he was not going to refuse it, as his chances to receive a core even near as powerful as this one might not come for a very long time.

“Very well, if you think that I am deserving of this core I will happily take it.” Marcus said unable to contain a big smile appearing on his face.

He was already imagining using this to create something that was beyond powerful and could not wait to get back to his workshop and begin preparations.

“Here you go.” Ardea said as she handed over the core.

Of course, there was no way Marcus could just lug this thing around, so after emptying a few miscellaneous things out of his item box, he stored the huge magic core inside it.

‘Well, I am pretty much out of room in my item box now, but I can easily replace everything I had to remove.’
