[Max's POV]
The sensation of something invading my body was a bit bizarre; I expected pain. As I have read in countless novels, but instead of pain, I felt like something akin to shackles was being removed from my body.
That feeling of being complete—it was like I had just reconnected with something that was mine but locked away.
The system panel continued to appear, but I was enjoying this serene moment of feeling whole. A small smile appeared on my face for finally completing the process that was left unfinished two years ago.
[Scanning Player's body for Awakening process....]
[Conditions met]
[Restarting Awakening process...]
[Scanning the body for Talent, Innate Ability, Bloodline and Physique...]
[Awakening Talent and Innate Ability...]
[Awakened Talent – Fusion (Rank – EX)]
[Awakened Innate Ability – 50× Multiplier]
[Bloodline @€#¥*£ found]
[Physique £*¥#€@ found]
[The Tower's scanning capabilities are insufficient to detect the name and rank of Bloodline and Physique]
[Bloodline and Physique are in perfect harmony]
[Traits are being generated from their resonance...]
[Detecting the presence of two Traits...]
[Generating the 3rd Trait due to being Mana deficient for a long time...]
[3rd Trait Awakening complete]
[Awakened Traits: Infinite Mind, Infinite Stamina, Infinite Mana]
[The awakening process is now complete]
[Player may check 'Status' at any time]
[Have a fun journey climbing the Tower and creating your own Myth]
[Welcome to the Tower of Mythus, Player Max]
As I opened my eyes after completing the Awakening process, I felt different… powerful. My earlier strength felt like that of a twig, and I had become a branch now.
I checked all the notifications from the Tower's system and was dumbfounded. I blinked and checked again to make sure, but those notifications were still there, shining brightly before my eyes.
[Awakened Talent – Fusion (Rank – EX)]
[Awakened Innate Ability – 50× Multiplier]
Then there were Bloodline and Physique, showing only jumbled words. The reason for that is Tower being incapable of scanning them.
My eyes widened, and I became stunned for a second. Something beyond the Tower's capabilities. I had always read in books that nothing was beyond the Tower and even heard people saying the same… but this was real, right in front of me.
The Tower couldn't identify both my Bloodline and Physique. Where did I even get something like this from? Is this related to my botched reincarnation?
Did I make some kind of deal to get such Bloodline and Physique in exchange for my memories? Nah... that's unlikely. I guess now I have a solid reason to find out just who I am and why I lost memories of my previous self.
Currently, I didn't feel any danger or threatened; instead, I felt more in control. Still, I shoved that thought aside for now. I couldn't do anything about it anyway.
Then I moved to check something else—something barely known to me: Traits.
[Awakened Traits: Infinite Mind, Infinite Stamina, Infinite Mana]
My jaw literally dropped to the floor. All my thoughts stopped as I looked at those Traits.
I stayed mentally and physically silent for ten seconds, then the things finally connected in my mind.
This was the reason for my eidetic memory and unparalleled comprehension—Infinite Mind.
Infinite Stamina was most likely granted to me during my training workout or due to having a weak body, and finally the third one… Infinite Mana.
This was a total game-changer. I had memories of overpowered characters in fiction, and now I was going to live like that.
All this was generated through resonance of by Bloodline and Physique. Just what are they?
I took a deep breath and calmed myself, focusing on the first important thing—Talent.
As I focused, details appeared instantly on the blue screen.
[Talent – Fusion (Rank – EX)]
[Fusion: The Ability to fuse anything you wish]
Effects:
1. Fuse two things to create something new (skills, talents, weapons, artifacts, etc.).
Results will be random and based on chance and luck (at E Rank).
2. Locked
3. Locked
4. Locked
*Further effects will be unlocked as the player's power level increases]
I read it once, then again and again to make sure I was right. Then I immediately focused on my Innate Ability.
[Innate Ability – 50× Multiplier]
[Effect: Able to multiply anything and everything at the will of the Player.]
The description was simple yet the meaning behind it were world changing to say the least.
Once again, I felt overwhelmed. The ability to multiply and then fuse… wasn't that just broken? And I hadn't even properly explored my traits yet.
Shaking my head in disbelief, I focused again. The descriptions shimmered onto the screen.
[Traits: Infinite Mind, Infinite Stamina, Infinite Mana]
[Infinite Mind:]
– The brain capacity of the Player is infinite. The Player has eidetic memory and comprehension of all languages in existence. Thinking speed and any type of calculation can be done instantly.
– The more the player uses this trait, the more benefits will be revealed.
– All knowledge of existence is inside the player's brain (requires passing a test to gain access).
[Infinite Stamina:]
– The player's stamina is infinite. The player will never get tired, no matter how physically and mentally taxing the action is. The body and mind remain in peak condition at all times.
[Infinite Mana:]
– There is no upper limit of mana the player can use, regardless of rank or power level.
The last description was simple but probably the most powerful. Every single trait could turn the worthless into something even the heavens would covet and I had three of them.
The one that intrigued me most was Infinite Mind. I hadn't unlocked its full potential yet, but if I did… I would never need books or libraries again.
It mentioned a test, but I don't think it is just a simple test, but that's all for later. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically for a few seconds before calming down.
After reading all possible information related to my talent, innate ability, and traits, bloodline and physique are the only things left, which are still unknown. Maybe I would find a way to uncover them on higher floors.
So, after much anticipation, I uttered the legendary word:
"Status."
