[: 3rd POV :]

The remnants of energy from his previous rewards still clung faintly to the air, shimmering like mist.

But before him lay four more treasures.

It was he final remnants of generosity he had received from the will of the universe.

Each one pulsed differently, as if they were alive, aware that soon they would become one with him.

Daniel inhaled deeply, his gaze calm yet focused.

"Alright," he murmured to himself, "let’s finish this."

[: Pill of Supreme Unification (Mythic) :]

- A pill that unifies your hidden potential and may grant unknown effects -

It was a small, round pill, pure white, yet faintly glowing with every color in existence.

A paradox of light, calm yet violent, still yet constantly shifting.

As Daniel held it between his fingers, he could feel it vibrating faintly, like it was trying to synchronize with his heartbeat.

He didn’t hesitate.

He placed it on his tongue and swallowed.

For a heartbeat, nothing happened.

Then, everything exploded.

An indescribable heat spread through his body, not burning, but purifying.

Every fiber of his being trembled violently.

His mind felt as though it was being pulled apart and reassembled.

His essence screamed, not in pain, but in unification.

Then he saw it, not with his eyes, but his soul.

Inside him, countless fragments of power, from Void, Emptiness, Decay, Destruction, Annihilation, Time, Commandment, Authorities, to laws clashed like storms.

The pill’s power surged into the chaos, pulling them all together, forcing them to merge.

It was terrifying, like watching galaxies collide inside his chest.

However...the process of merging all of his powers had failed.

Daniel gritted his teeth as the energy spiraled into a blinding singularity within his soul.

It couldn’t merged considering he didn’t unlock all of his powers to his full potential.

Each of Daniel’s powers were ridiculously strong that it had its own ego. It refused to fuse with his other powers.

Instead, it allowed its essence of powers and fragments of its abilities to merge with others, creating a unique passive skill for Daniel.

And at this moment, he has stepped closer to true unification.

Instead of unification, the storm of his power condensed, and condensed again, until it became denser.

If previously, each of his powers were wild, now it was calmed.

When he opened his eyes again, the air bent slightly around him.

He clenched his fist and exhaled.

The sound alone rippled the balcony air like thunder.

He smiled faintly.

[: Host congratulations, though all of your fragments of powers couldn’t merged, you have obtained a passive skill :]

[: Due to the potency from each of your power, instead of merging, your power has created its own power :]

[: An Original Skill that belonged to only you :]

[: Passive Skill: Endless Evolution (???) :]

- A passive beyond logic, the embodiment of evolution without end. -

[: Passive Skill Effects :]

- Double Time -

All Active, Passive, and Ultimate* skills have their potency, duration, range, and efficiency multiplied by 2× permanently.

Every future ability acquired automatically benefits from the same multiplier.

- Absolute Mastery -

- Auto Evolutionary -

Every skill evolves on its own with usage, transforming into higher, more perfect versions, capable of birthing new branches of power.

- Assimilation of Comprehension -

Enables comprehension and eventual wielding of Laws, Authorities, Commandments, and Concepts without limit. Upon killing a being who have comprehended or mastered Laws, Authorities, Commandments and Concepts, will allow the user to absorb part of it.

- Skill Resonance -

When using multiple powers at once, all of them synchronize harmoniously stacking effects rather than conflicting. Will grant a harmonious effect where if more than one skill is synchronize will double their effects.

- Eternal Proficiency -

You can no longer forget, degrade, or regress in mastery. Everything you’ve ever learned becomes part of your existence, instinctual and eternal.

- Limitless Blessing -

Any blessing received is amplified tenfold and made permanent.

- Soul of Perfection -

The user’s soul automatically harmonizes with all forms of energy, divine, abyssal, chaotic, or null, converting them into stable, usable power

His thoughts were clearer, his instincts sharper, his energy smoother.

A faint blue circle formed under him and vanished, signifying the end of the pill’s effect.

He felt... complete.

[: Gem of Strength (???) :]

A Gem that has been condensed from a dying star and had been refined from the heat of Nether Realm -

- Upon aquiring it, may grant exceptional boost of strength depending on luck and potency -

Next was a stone the size of his palm, black as night, veined with molten gold that pulsed rhythmically like a beating heart.

It radiated faint heat, and as he stared into its depths, he could see something inside — a collapsing star.

"Condensed from a dying star," he muttered, feeling the air grow heavy.

"Let’s see how lucky I am this time."

He grasped the gem with both hands.

Immediately, an explosion of heat erupted — not outward, but inward.

His arms shook violently as the gem cracked, splitting into shards of golden flame that melted into his skin.

Then came the impact.

BOOM!

The force was immense.

The balcony cracked beneath him, his aura flaring so strongly that the marble around him turned molten for an instant.

His heart pounded once, and the sound echoed like the roar of a celestial beast.

Power, raw, physical, overwhelming, flooded his muscles and bones.

It wasn’t like mana, or essence, or even destruction energy.

This was primordial might, the kind that could shatter planets by accident.

He rose slowly, veins of molten gold briefly glowing under his skin before fading.

Every movement felt heavier, yet completely effortless.

Perfect — here’s the **skill** obtained from the **Gem of Strength** forged from a **dying star** and the **Nether Realm**, written with cinematic depth and mythic weight fitting Daniel’s tier of power:

[: Congratulations Host, due to the effects of the Gem of Strength, you have obtained a Skill :]

[: Death’s Star (???) :]

[: Passive Effects :]

- Physical strength, speed, and endurance are amplified by 100,000×

[: Active Effects Upon Activation :]

- Every punch releases residual energy from the dying star within the Gem, waves strong enough to distort space and rupture dimensions.

- User’s presence alone warps gravity, drawing nearby matter into implosive collapse before each strike.

- Grants pain nullification and instant generation -

- The lower the User’s health becomes, the greater his destructive force multiplies

He clenched his right hand, the air around it shattered with a sound like cracking glass.

He released it and the distortion vanished, as if reality itself feared him.

Daniel exhaled and grinned faintly.

"Guess the luck wasn’t bad."

He estimated the power instinctively.

His raw physical strength had multiplied countless times, enough that even without mana, he could probably tear through a Sovereign’s barrier.

But what truly startled him was the stability.

"Looks like these things work better together than I expected," he said quietly, flexing his arm once more.

[: 5 Crystals of Elemental Laws (Mythic) :]

- Laws that has been longed condensed and formed naturally into crystals and each crystal may have a small chance of granting a low tier mastery of law and perhaps in one million chance may grant instant mastery -

- Each Crystal will grant a random a law -

Daniel’s eyes flickered as the remaining five crystals pulsed in the air before him.

He hovered his hand over them, feeling the hum of their resonance.

"...Five Elemental Crystals," he muttered.

"Let’s see what laws the universe has in store for me this time."

With a slow breath, he absorbed the first one.

[: Congratulations Host, you have absorbed and unlocked the Crystal of Elemental Law (Eclipse) :]

[: Law of Eclipse :]

- Grants affinity toward the Law of Eclipse, the perfect equilibrium between Radiance and Shadow.

- Allows manipulation of duality, merging or dividing opposing energies -

Daniel felt his body tremble as both warmth and chill flooded his veins.

His right eye glowed silver, his left darkened into amethyst shadow.

The room dimmed, shadows and light flickering rhythmically around him like breathing stars.

[: You have absorbed and unlocked the Crystal of Elemental Law (Undefined) :]

- Unlocks ability that allows the User to be undefined by restriction and to bypass any boundary for 60 seconds -

The effect struck him like a thunderclap in his soul.

His essence expanded, it wasn’t power, it was freedom.

[: You have absorbed and unlocked the Crystal of Elemental Law (Nullity) :]

- Grants mastery over the Nullity, the law that erases the effects of laws from enemies -

[: You have absorbed and unlocked the Crystal of Elemental Law (Echo) :]

- Allows creation of temporal or dimensional echoes of actions, thoughts, or states -

- Grants the ability to replay any past move or moment once within a battle -

[: You have absorbed and unlocked the Crystal of Elemental Law (Silent) :]

- Grants the ability or a chance where whenever enemies attack, their actions will be silent -

As the five Laws settled within him, Daniel’s aura became indescribable, no longer bound by simple elemental affinity.

His eyes flickered between colors, violet eclipse, starlit gold, void black, mirror silver, and dawn white.

Even the air seemed to kneel before him.

He stood in silence for a while, breathing softly.

His lips curved into a faint smile.

"I wonder what kind of being I’m slowly becoming."

[: Essence of Mania (???) :]

- An essence that has been forged naturally from centuries to hundreds thousands of years from Mana -

- Upon consuming it, will grant exceptional effects -

Now came the final reward.

It was a vial of swirling blue and violet liquid, chaotic, alive, humming with power.

It vibrated faintly in his hand, and the moment he uncorked it, the scent of raw mana flooded the air.

The entire space flickered, as if reality itself couldn’t contain the pressure leaking from the bottle.

Daniel hesitated, just for a second.

"This one’s dangerous," he muttered. "Feels unstable..."

But curiosity, and instinct, outweighed caution. He lifted the vial and drank.

The world vanished.

At first, there was only sound.

A roaring, endless chorus of mana surging through the fabric of reality.

Then, sight.

He stood in a vast blue ocean of mana, stretching endlessly in every direction.

Each droplet contained worlds, and each wave sang with the resonance of life and destruction.

He was drowning in power, yet it wasn’t killing him.

The unification within his body held it together, letting him absorb what no mortal could withstand.

His entire being expanded, senses stretching across the entire city, then beyond, reaching through planes of existence.

He could hear the whispers of mana itself.

Then, it all collapsed inward.

When it cleared, Daniel knelt on one knee, panting softly.

The balcony was unscathed, but the air around him shimmered with intense energy.

[: Congratulations, due to the effects of Essence of Mania, your Authority of Mana has evolved to Concept of Mana :]

[: Mana had noticed your presence and has decided to bless you :]

[: Blessing of Mana :]

- Your Mana will be amplified by 100K and all consumption of Skills will be reduced by Half -

He raised his hand, and mana responded instantly, forming into spheres, ribbons, or mist, whatever he desired.

It no longer needed casting or command.

It simply obeyed.

He realized, with slow awe, what had changed.

The Essence of Mania had transformed his connection with mana itself.

It no longer flowed through him, he was the flow.
