Chapter 6: Strange

{ Your God has gifted you with a talent: }

— Embodiment of Mana (EX-rank)

{ You are the first native biological creature on this planet to acquire an EX-rank talent. }

{ You are the first human to acquire an EX-rank talent. }

{ New title obtained: The Unchained. }

{ Your has been greatly enhanced. }

{ Your has been greatly enhanced. }

{ Your has been elevated. }

{ Divinity Value: 203 }

Klein heard the voice once again.

EX-rank…? Don't tell me it's the same EX-rank rumored to exist, but lost in history?

He digested the information, the edge of his lips curled up into a smile.

It was obvious that he would smile at this revelation.

He had just been given an EX-rank talent.

A-rank talent was nothing short of a miracle.

S-rank was a direct blessing from the divine.

SS-rank and SSS-rank? If you have them, it's practically generational luck drained for that.

And now, EX-rank.

The rank only found in religious text or vague stories of the past—there's no actual evidence of their existence.

When the discussion began about ranks, anyone who ever suggested ranks beyond SSS-rank, became a laughing stock.

But now, he owned that thing, the talent at the rank of EX—he had acquired the power of the mythical heroes.

Light returned to his eyes, faint as a firefly trying to brighten a sunless room.

Nathaniel, silent, amused, and satisfied.

His gaze lingered on Klein's form before the rectangular-shaped, orange-colored screen emerged.

Nathaniel chuckled, Klein truly had a monstrous talent.

Klein noticed that the sun had been directly above him, he turned to Nathaniel, knelt down and informed him.

"Lord Solomon, I need to return home, may we meet again."

His voice was calm, steady, and quite monotonous.

Nathaniel nodded.

Klein pulled out a black hardcover Grimoire, he skimmed through the chapters until he reached the one that talked about how to disable summoning.

He chanted the words.

Nathaniel noticed that his mana-formed body began to disperse, his consciousness drifting away.

The broken temple that he once floated in, was warped, twisted, and shattered into pieces.

Galaxies swirled back into view, stars popped back into existence—their light illuminated the surroundings.

The darkness unfolded like a canvas that held everything.

Symbols, letters, and words jumped into the frame, their movements ecstatic, colorful.

Nathaniel regained his initial awareness.

He observed his surroundings, when he had just arrived, he didn't have any time to look around.

"Huh, this place is neat."

He said, his voice overlapped with different tones.

System, continue, show me my status.

He thought, his tone thick with curiosity.

——————————

Incredible.

That was the only word he could muster.

He acquired something beyond EX-rank, not only by one rank but two.

The system was truly his greatest asset, the 'return' feature was definitely something he was grateful for.

Can I see my skills?

He wondered, waiting for the system's response.

It seemed to be a slow responder.

He sat down, the space before him warped into a short yet wide table, delicious-looking food scattered around them.

Oh, I can change the world through my perception?

His attention was piqued.

He manifested a generic iron sword, swung it multiple times, and let it go.

It dissipated and went away, engulfed by particles of light.
