The first thing Tony Mark felt was weight.
Not the crushing pressure of gravity or pain—but the strange, muffled heaviness of an unfamiliar body. His thoughts surfaced slowly, as if swimming upward through deep water, until awareness bloomed like a spark catching dry grass.
I'm… alive?
The realization came with shock.
He could not move freely. His limbs felt short, weak, uncoordinated. Sounds reached him as dull vibrations, distorted and slow, yet filled with meaning he somehow grasped instinctively. Warmth surrounded him, followed by a steady rhythmic sound—a heartbeat, close and comforting.
Tony Mark had lived once before.
Memories of Earth lingered like fading echoes—cities of steel and glass, glowing screens, long nights filled with ambition and exhaustion. He remembered being human, adult, complete.
And now—
A sudden cry escaped his throat.
Bright white light flooded his vision as the world shifted. Hands lifted him gently, voices overlapping in unfamiliar tones yet strangely understandable. The language was not English—its structure, rhythm, and phonetics were different—but meaning seeped directly into his mind.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Mark. It's a healthy boy."
A woman's tearful laugh. A man's shaky breath.
Tony blinked.
Blue Heaven…
The knowledge surfaced without explanation. This was not Earth. This was Blue Heaven, an advanced civilization planet where humanity had long surpassed its former limits—where strength, evolution, and biological progression defined one's place in society.
The two people holding him were his parents now.
Mr. and Mrs. Mark.
Ordinary office workers.
No noble bloodlines. No powerful family background. No secret legacies passed down through generations. Just two exhausted adults staring at their newborn son with unrestrained love and quiet hope.
Tony understood immediately.
I've been reborn.
The Mark family lived in a modest residential sector of the city. Their apartment was clean, efficient, and utterly average.
Mr. Mark worked in logistical data management for a mid-level corporation. Mrs. Mark handled administrative coordination in a government office. Neither had advanced beyond the Ordinary biological level, and neither had the resources or ambition to chase higher realms.
They were content.
Tony, cradled in their arms, was expected to grow up the same way—safe, unremarkable, and ordinary.
If only they knew.
From the moment his consciousness stabilized, Tony began observing.
He could not yet control his body properly, but his mind was sharp—far sharper than it should have been. He listened to conversations, absorbed tonal shifts, and studied emotional cues. He watched the holographic news panels that flickered across the living room walls, displaying statistics, cultivation rankings, and reports of rising geniuses across the planet.
On Blue Heaven, strength was measurable.
Every human possessed a Blue Heaven System, a universal interface embedded into their biology. It granted numerical stats—Strength, Agility, Endurance, Intelligence, Perception, and more—based entirely on effort and training.
Train strength, and strength increased.
Train agility, and agility rose.
No shortcuts.
No cheats.
At least… that was how it was supposed to be.
Tony absorbed all of this in silence, unable to speak yet fully capable of understanding. He learned early that prodigies were celebrated—and monitored. Exceptional growth drew attention. And attention, in a world governed by power, was dangerous.
So he waited.
Thirty Days Later
The day everything changed arrived quietly.
Tony lay in his cradle, staring at the ceiling as soft blue light traced faint geometric patterns overhead. His parents were asleep—exhausted after another long workday. The apartment was silent.
Then—
A soundless ripple passed through his consciousness.
> [Achievement Detected]
Tony froze.
A translucent interface unfolded before his mind's eye, crisp and impossibly clear.
> [Achievement System Initializing…]
[Identity Verified]
Achievement: Transmigrator — Confirmed
His breath caught.
So it wasn't just a dream.
The system continued, emotionless and absolute.
> [Achievement Description:]
A soul originating from another world has successfully integrated into Blue Heaven.
[Reward Granted:]
Skill — Unlimited Evolution
Information flooded him in an instant.
Unlimited Evolution.
A skill that defied common sense.
It allowed its owner to evolve infinitely, learn at an alarming rate, and reach mastery in any skill, discipline, or ability without the bottlenecks that restricted ordinary humans.
No diminishing returns.
No talent ceilings.
No genetic limits.
Tony's mind reeled.
In a world governed by strict biological stages and ranks, this ability was nothing short of absurd.
Dangerous.
I have to hide this.
Instinct screamed the warning. Tony had lived once before—long enough to understand how societies treated anomalies. On Blue Heaven, where power equaled status, a child with impossible growth would not be protected.
He would be claimed.
Dissected. Controlled. Raised as a weapon.
So Tony made a decision at thirty days old.
He would grow.
But he would grow in silence.
With Unlimited Evolution active, Tony's perception sharpened rapidly. Sounds became clearer. Colors gained depth. Language patterns crystallized in his mind as if engraved there.
Within weeks, he fully understood the Blue Heaven language—its syntax, cultural nuances, and layered meanings. He listened to his parents speak, arguing lightly about work, finances, and the future, and understood every word.
He learned human behavior.
He learned lies, habits, and emotional tells.
Tony began forming mental exercises—simple at first. Memory drills. Pattern recognition. Logical sequences. Each repetition strengthened his mind at an impossible pace.
His intelligence stat—though not yet visible—was undoubtedly rising.
Physically, he was still an infant.
But Unlimited Evolution did not discriminate.
When his parents placed him on soft padding, Tony experimented with muscle tension. Tiny, controlled contractions. Relaxation. Balance. He didn't push too far—never enough to raise suspicion—but enough to learn.
Enough to evolve.
He discovered something crucial early on: intent mattered.
The Blue Heaven System responded not just to action, but to focused effort. Even minimal movements, when performed with deliberate training intent, produced growth.
That knowledge alone placed him far ahead of his peers.
Mr. and Mrs. Mark noticed small things.
Tony's eyes followed movement with uncanny precision. He stopped crying earlier than expected. He reacted to voices faster than other infants.
"He's a smart one," Mrs. Mark said proudly.
Mr. Mark laughed. "Maybe he'll make it to the Ordinary ranks early."
Tony almost smiled.
If only you knew.
He continued to act within acceptable limits—crying when hungry, sleeping when expected, responding like a normal child. Yet beneath the surface, his awareness expanded daily.
He observed news segments discussing biological levels:
Ordinary
Advance
Transcendent
Each divided into nine stages, each stage into lower, middle, and upper ranks.
Numbers flashed across screens—average base stats, growth charts, monster rankings, inner world theory. Tony memorized everything.
He learned about inner worlds, unlocked at the Ordinary 6th stage—personal dimensions capable of storing obedient monsters. He learned how monsters shared the same biological hierarchy as humans. He learned that strength determined not only survival, but freedom.
And he learned something else.
Power could be delayed.
But never abandoned.
Late at night, while his parents slept, Tony stared into the darkness and made a silent vow.
I won't be ordinary.
Not loudly. Not recklessly.
He would grow step by step, milestone by milestone, perfectly hidden behind the mask of a talented—but not alarming—child.
Unlimited Evolution pulsed quietly within him, waiting.
This world had given him a second life.
And Tony Mark intended to evolve it to the end.
