The Cataclysm didn't just change the world, it ended the one that came before it.
Abyssal Rifts tore open across every continent simultaneously, the sky cracking apart like glass as the System Integration forcibly merged with reality. Monsters flooded out of the Eternal Abyss in numbers that defied comprehension, and humanity learned the hardest possible lesson in the shortest possible time — awaken your talent, change your job, grow stronger, or be consumed. Entire cities vanished overnight. Nations that had stood for centuries dissolved in weeks. The old world, with all its comfort and certainty, was gone, and what replaced it was something far more brutal and far more alive.
Three hundred years of dungeons, Abyssal Spawn, and the relentless climb toward power later, a being that calls itself God emerges from the depths of the Eternal Abyss and declares the extinction of mankind as though it were already decided.
It has clearly never met Nova Stern.
On the day of his awakening, Nova receives a talent that earns little more than a passing glance from the examiners — Unlimited Amplification, unranked, undescribed, unremarkable on paper. What nobody understands yet is that there is no upper limit to what it can touch, and no version of strength it cannot multiply into something terrifying.
[Comprehension amplified 100,000x → SSS-Rank Talent: Absolute Insight acquired]
[Basic Breathing Method analyzed → Primordial Breathing Method forged. Cultivation speed: x1,000]
[Physical body amplified 10,000x → Immortal Physique achieved. Nuclear-resistant.]
[Origin Talent amplified 1,000,000x → Apex Origin: Eternal Flame awakened]
Abyssal Lords, ancient monsters, and a self-proclaimed God with the nerve to threaten the entire human race — they are all about to learn what it means to stand in the path of something that has no ceiling, no limit, and no intention of stopping.
A god walked out of the Abyss and announced the end of the world. Nova just wants to know one thing — do you dare take the flick of his finger?

In the end there was simply no rational reason to refuse.


The terms Scarlet proposed matched exactly what Nova had asked for — high-tier dungeon access in exchange for his combat contribution to guild expeditions, full use of guild facilities, no binding obligations beyond voluntary participation. The SSS-rank contract classification reflected the tier of the arrangement rather than a salary figure. Nova had made clear he wasn't interested in money. Scarlet had made clear she was interested in securing his participation before any other guild understood what he was.


After finalizing the three-year agreement — SSS-rank contracts required multiple verification seals and authentication protocols — Scarlet extended her hand with the satisfaction of someone who had just made a very good decision.


The clone shook her hand. "Looking forward to the dungeon access."
