Immortality System: The Last Human's Transmigration

"Blanca... Why is my head on your thighs?" I asked, annoyance tangible in my voice.

"What? Do you not like it?" She asked, her soft smile entering my vision and making my knuckles itch to punch her in the face as hard as possible.

"No..." I replied without hesitation.

"So you would rather lay cold and alone on the hard ground?" She raised a brow in amusement, but I could see hints of anger behind her expression of kindness.

"Pretty much," I replied straightforwardly, making her frown, yet before I could follow up my words with an insult or a joke, I heard a sharp ring enter my mind before a crimson screen appeared.

[You have received the blessing of stars]

"Hu-" My surprised gasp was immediately cut off as my head bounced on the floor after its support disappeared into thin air.

"If you don't want it so much, then never ask me to do it again." Blanca harrumphed while standing almost 15 meters away; her face scrunched up into a frown.

"I didn't ask you though..." I retorted, seemingly confused by her words.

She instantly deepened, but before I could continue, she turned around and harrumphed, "Idiot." Eventually, her figure disappeared from my sight, finally allowing me to look at the notification and use appraisal.

[Appraisal level too low]

'Damnit... I forgot about that one.' I let out a defeated sigh before lying on the ground motionless as if waiting for something to happen or someone to come to me.

My eyes lingered on the star above, and I continued to gaze at them for an extended amount of time.

"I wonder how long it will take... For me to find the elven settlements. I wonder how long it will take me to gain the strength to move to any of the territories on this planet." I thought, my eyes narrowing slightly, but my expression mainly stayed the same.

Eventually, after a moment's wait, my hands finally extended towards the stars above as if trying to reach them, yet after a while, I knew that such a thing would be pointless. Closing my eyes, I kept my hand up, pointing to the sky, and even though I had expected nothing to happen, a feeling coming from the tips of my fingers caused me to widen my eyes in surprise and quickly look at them with a weird gaze.

"What was that... Feeling..."

I could feel my heart race while my breathing turned quick and short in excitement. My eyes lit up, too, while the smile on my face could not be wiped off even if I were to be put into a horrible situation at that moment.

Pointing my hand towards the sky again, I closed my eyes and began concentrating on anything and everything I could feel. From the hard ground below me to the silent winds that made my hair stand up slightly, everything became visible to me even though my eyes were tightly shut.

And finally, after a few more minutes of me doing this, I felt a connection. A profound connection, more potent than anything I had ever felt before.

And even after a notification rang out in my mind, I did not stray away from the connection I had created. My resolve had become firm while my will shone brightly as I continued to clutch tightly to this strand.

[Congratulations. You have communicated with the stars]

[Many stars in the Milkyway galaxy have taken note of you]

[You have gained the title: Starborne]

[You have gained the skill: Celestial Connection (Lvl 1)]

Eventually, my hand closed into a fist, and I grasped onto something. Something profound and powerful. Something that had the power to topple worlds and destroy solar systems.

Hundreds of powerful gazes locked onto me with stars of curiosity and shock. How long has it been since someone in their galaxy had gained enough knowledge about the stars above them to create a connection finally? How long had it been since someone other than other stars had chosen to call out to them and try to communicate with them?

"Boy..." An ancient voice entered my mind, causing me to fling my eyelids open in complete shock. After an extended amount of time filled with silence, I began to feel like the voice might have been a product of my imagination, yet before I could make any more assumptions, I heard the ancient yet mighty voice speak to me once again.

"I suggest you use this connection wisely. While you can use this connection to ask us to aid you, many creatures in the universe are created from the remnants of stars. They are more powerful than anything you can comprehend, and while you might be exceptionally talented for someone from such a backwater planet, you are nothing compared to them. Heed my warnings and did not use this power once again, as your flimsy control easily alerted more than 100 of us. Stay safe. I hope to see you grow one day." The ancient voice echoed within my mind before the connection was forcefully severed by what I could only assume were the stars I created a connection with.

My eyes remained wide open the entire time, but my attention was quickly grabbed by a low growl coming from my stomach, which immediately kicked me out of my entranced state and made me get up in a hurry.

***

Somewhere in the Milkyway galaxy floated a creature of immense strength. The creature seemed to have been created from the fabric of space itself as its body looked as if it was filled to the brim with stars and galaxies, its body shining with the radiance of every star in its body. Yet, one could still see its figure as if it was a blackhole that ensured no light would obstruct its visibility.

Its hair wildly floated while its aura emanated out of its body, creating a powerful nebula of energy that spanned out for millions of miles.

Suddenly, its head turned in a specific direction while its eyes narrowed in curiosity.

In an instant, its aura was sucked into itself before its figure disappeared, moving through the infinite expanse of space like a shooting star while its vision locked onto a distant blue and green planet.
