[Max's POV]
After gaining an amazing sword, I realized the true scope of my Talent and Innate Ability. It had taken me around five minutes to make a Primordial Sword out of a Common one, and its strength was off the charts even at Tier 0. I didn't even want to
imagine its power at Tier 21.
Next, I noticed I didn't have any body armor, so I upgraded the rest of my equipment to Ancient level. I didn't want to upgrade everything to Primordial because, after creating my sword, I realized how little I truly knew about the ranks and their power level. I wanted to observe the performance of sword first.
I stored extra fused equipment and swords in my system inventory. I looked at the inventory, which was already half filled in a matter of minutes.
Then an idea struck me—why not use my most overpowered ability? I focused, cleared my mind, and spoke with absolute confidence in my power.
'LimitBreak: Expand my inventory to infinite.'
At first, nothing happened, then, in the next second, I felt a connection forming to a space that seemed vast—limitless. I could feel my control over this space. Inside, I saw several awe-inspiring katanas with all my other equipment.
Happiness doesn't even began to describe it. I never have to worry about inventory problems ever again.
"Can I know the penalty for this use?" I asked.
The system panel flickered in front of me:
[– 5 Myth Points]
[Your use of Class didn't provide any unfair advantage to you in any fight, this is your privilege.]
[Tower Administrator recognizes that it would also be unfair to you by imposing a
penalty for using your Class effect. Therefore, a penalty will be only applied
if you use LimitBreaker to gain an unfair advantage in a fair fight.]
I nodded and said in a relaxed voice, "That's much better. I won't have to worry about using Class effects all the time. Now that I have experienced my Class's effect,
there is one more thing I want to try before increasing my grade."
After closing my eyes, I focused my innate ability on my Bloodline, attempting to duplicate it—to see what would happen if I fused with it together.
As I focused, the screen flickered violently, almost like it was afraid. Then a trembling message
appeared:
[Don't do it, it's not....]
[The Being's POV]
A being of incomprehensible size and power sat in a relaxed position outside of the known existence — beneath a throne that defied existential law. The chair was forged from the essence of unborn Universes and Omni-verses. It possessed the power to birth countless realities, yet it only served the purpose of a chair.
The Being's presence radiated euphoric pressure, and his interest was palpable. The moment Max used his Innate Ability to duplicate his Bloodline, devastation swept
through all of existence.
The first victim was the Tower itself—the Supreme Artifact that had stood proud and unscathed for ten thousand years. It was obliterated in a microsecond.
Next something happened that was beyond comprehension: every passing moment one can observe, if possible, multiple Omni-verses destroyed, their inhabitants erased without ever realizing it, no matter their power.
Everything unfolded before The Being's eyes, yet he simply observed with amused detachment. From outside existence, it looked as if reality itself was dissolving.
Within one second, all of existence was gone—erased—and the man responsible floated unconscious at the epicenter of that devastation.
The Being gazed at the unconscious Max and laughed freely—for the first time—because now he didn't have to restrain himself to protect existence. For once, he was free.
He stopped laughing and spoke, "Oh my, you are more reckless and too curious, aren't you? You'll learn the responsibilities that come with such overwhelming power
eventually. But take your time—I'm here."
He then gave a single command: "Reversal."
Instantly, existence returned—reborn as though nothing had happened. None were aware, not even Max, that they had been annihilated and restored. And perhaps, that ignorance was mercy itself—for it's better not to know that your life exist solely because of the restraint of another.
[Max's POV]
As I focused on my ability, the screen flickered again—erratic, frightened. The message blinked
out:
[Don't do it, it's not safe to do that]
I was confused—both by the warning and the fact that I had already activated my innate ability but.received no result or response.
[Oh... thank The Creator]
[Are you an idiot despite having Infinite Mind, goddammit!?]
The limbo shuddered slightly, and I instantly understood—the system, or whoever spoke through it, wasn't in the mood for jokes. So, I did the smartest thing possible. I stayed
silent.
Moments later, the panel flickered again, but this time with cold precision:
[You are lucky that you can't duplicate your Bloodline or Physique. Otherwise, you would have put the entire existence in jeopardy]
"Ahh... sorry, I didn't know," I said shamelessly, then cleared my throat and acted like nothing had happened.
"So, how many Myth Points do I need to increase my grade?" I asked. I had power now, but not enough knowledge—and power without information often leads to disaster, no matter how good your intentions.
The system responded:
[Grade 0 – Start]
[Grade 1 – 10 points]
[Grade 2 – 50 points]
[Grade 3 – 100 points]
[Grade 4 – 500 points]
[Grade 5 – 1000 points]
[Grade 6 – 1500 points]
[Grade 7 – 15000 points]
[Tower Administrator provides a Special Grade to Player Max at 30000 Myth Points]
My eyes widened slightly. From what I'd heard, Myth Points were so hard to earn that even major families fought for them—yet I had enough for a Special Grade without even climbing the Tower.
"What are the benefits of getting Special Grade?" I asked.
[All knowledge of the Tower and its Natives when needed, chance of direct contact to the Tower Administrator, and no charge for answering small questions.]
That was huge. Natives of the Tower came from countless races, and their knowledge alone could be priceless. A direct connection to the Administrator could be even more valuable.
"I'll buy it," I said immediately.
Then I checked my balance:
[Myth Points:] 20245
[Myth Coins:] 4970
And the change in my Grade tab:
[*Special Grade]
After confirming it, I asked my final question, to gain first hand information about economy of the Tower before I began my climb, "Please tell me all uses of Myth Points and
Myth Coins."
[Myth Points:]
[Earned by completing missions from the Tower, from Observers, by achieving incredible feats, or by becoming famous—or infamous]
[Can be used to enhance your soul quality (only Myth Points can do this). Soul quality can only be increased after reaching Rank S.]
[Can be used to buy or grant powerful Traits during sublimation. The type of Trait depends on how many points you spend, the higher the points, the higher the quality.]
[Players can create or share Titles using Points, though both require enormous amount—creating Titles demands the most. The more powerful the Title, the higher the cost.]
[Points can be used to ask questions to Administrators; cost depends on the complexity of the answer and your Grade.]
[Myth Points can grant any type of Talent, but even E-Rank Talents require thousands (~2000 Points).]
[The receiver must be below EX Rank, since EX-Rank beings can't gain new talents. The number of talents you can add depends on soul quality]
[Your name will be announced in the Tower and added to Myth list upon earning 1000 Myth Points]
[Myth Coins:]
[Earned by slaying monsters or completing quests and missions]
[Serve as the Tower's currency and can be converted into the currency of the world where the Tower exists]
[Used to buy Skills, Artifacts, Weapons, or other items in the Mythus Shop]
[Can be used to access Tower facilities]
[Energy Crystals or Attribute Crystals can be exchanged for Myth Coins]
After going through the whole information in under two minutes, I checked everything again. My weapon and equipment were ready for any fight.
The Tower generally send players to random locations upon entry, so I needed to be prepared in case I landed in a hostile zone.
"So... does the whole Tower know about me now?" I asked.
[Yes and no. The Tower will announce your deed, but you can choose whether to use your real name or a nickname in the announcement]
[Would you like to use your real name or a nickname?]
"I want you to announce 'Max The LimitBreaker' as my name in the Tower announcement."
"Let's go kill some monsters, Lamina" I said, readying myself to exit this limbo through
the swirling bluish portal.
The sword hummed in my hand—equally eager for its first fight.
