==========
Glancing at my profile, a smile escaped from my lips.
Seeing such stats, I felt assured—I was truly on the path to being overpowered.
From the information I gathered, ranking up in the Tower required pushing four out of six basic stats to the next rank with two skills of higher rank.
My three stats already didn't need any attention. I just had to raise one stat, and ranking up would be easy.
But when my eyes reached Affinity, I froze.
"Wait… how? One of the reasons for my abandonment, I learned over time, was absence of affinity to any elements? Then what's this?"
I focused on the Affinity for details.
[Affinity – Omni-Affinity (Primordial)]
[The Player possesses the Affinity for all existing elements in existence at the highest possible rank. However player needs to be in contact with the element or gain higher ranking elemental skills to awaken the particular affinity.]
Simple, but ridiculously powerful.
Did they really not detect this, or did someone deliberately hide it to isolate me? I guess my abandonment was not simply my black hair but something else entirely.
Either way—no worries. I'd deal with that later… if I felt like it.
My skills tab was empty, obviously. Life during exile was self-sufficient, but I wasn't rich enough or had any connections to buy even a basic skill.
I guess I would have to earn them from the Tower—through dungeons, labyrinths, or treasure chests.
Next, a tab new to me, and I had no information about it. The tab in question was Spells and Arts.
"Hmm," I muttered, "I'll have to ask about Spells and Arts later."
Just then, the screen blinked and displayed the desired information.
[Spells:] Spells are magical formulas or incantations you create yourself based on your affinity or understanding of elements, or a combination of both. Unique or powerful creations may earn Myth Coins—or in some cases, Myth Points—from the Tower.
[Arts:] Arts are techniques created by the player—swordsmanship, movement skills, or any other form of combat technique. Rewards are similar to those for Spells.
[Note:] They are generally non-transferable but can be shared with others at the expense of Myth Points.
"I was told the Tower's system isn't interactive and only responds in special cases," I said, surprised.
[During entry, a player may ask reasonable questions and receive essential information. As players climb the Tower, they can purchase information with Myth Coins or Points.]
[The amount and quality of information depend on the player's grade. Grades range from 0 to 7 and can be increased by spending Myth Points.]
"Yeah… I was wondering what that Grade was all about," I muttered, "Myth Points and Myth Coins—the Tower's currency. If I want to dominate, I'll need both in massive quantities."
My eyes went to the Innate ability. I grinned. "But with a 50× Multiplier… whatever I get, I can make fifty times more."
I chuckled softly. "I just hope that it works on everything, like the description says."
For a moment, I pondered. Should I use my Ability and Talent on my equipment and weapons to see their effects before entering the 1st floor?
However, before I could think any further, the blue screen flickered once more.
[Player has completed the Awakening phase. Ready for Class selection.]
"Wait, there's more? Aren't I already overpowered!?"
The screen glowed in front of me as the process of Class selection began. I remembered about the class selection process. It is a sign of being a player in the Tower.
The Tower gives various options according to the players for them to choose. This choice decides the player's journey in the Tower, so it was a thing that stayed with you forever.
My heart began pounding with expectation, but I waited. Whatever happened next… it would be irreplaceable part of my climb.
The system started the process, and I felt like every cell in my body was being observed. It was a unique experience, to say the least.
[Scanning Talent, Soul, and Fate of the Player to give suitable Class options]
[ERROR!!]
[ERROR!!]
"No! No! Not Again!"
My breath hitched seeing the familiar message. Did I need to strengthen my Soul or do something about my Fate? But before panic could flare up, as the next messages appeared— my confusion turned into disbelief.
[Player's Soul is beyond the Tower's capabilities to scan]
[Player is free from the shackles of Fate]
[No suitable Class is available for Player Max]
[Creating Class suitable for Player...] ×2
[Accessing Player's Bloodline and Physique to create a worthy Class]
[Due to unique circumstances, Player has only one option for Class selection]
[Class is chosen by default]
[Congratulations, Player Max, for obtaining the Unique Class: The LimitBreaker]
[For such a special feat, the Tower rewards you with 1000 Myth Points]
My lips curled up, I muttered, "The LimitBreaker, huh? That's one hell of a name."
I focused on the Class tab to open it, eager to see how much overpowered it is. All things until now involving my Bloodline and Physique has been simply through the roof. So the only question was, how much?
[Class – The LimitBreaker]
[Player is a being unbound by this Existence. No laws, rules, or limits can restrain him. You can manipulate any aspect of this Existence according to your will]
[Class Effect – Use the word 'LimitBreak' followed by your will or intent to apply it on any target—be it a person, object, or even an Authority]
"Oh boy!"
