Powering UP!

"So the gifts I got are at that level? This makes me super excited!" Luke could hardly contain his excitement. The idea that the gifts he had received were already so powerful, with the potential to grow even stronger, filled him with an overwhelming sense of exhilaration. 

"System, merge me with the physique," Luke commanded, his voice firm with anticipation.

[Affirmative] 

The moment those words echoed in his mind, everything went dark. The last thing Luke heard was the system's confirmation before he blacked out. It was as if his entire being was submerged in a deep, dreamless sleep, where time and consciousness ceased to exist.

When Luke awoke, he felt different—refreshed, liberated, as if an invisible weight had been lifted from his soul. It was a sensation unlike any he had ever experienced, as though he had been freed from a prison that he hadn't even realized was confining him. There had always been something shackling him, holding him back, but now those chains had been shattered.

His senses were heightened to an extraordinary degree. His vision was sharper, more vibrant, with colors and details he had never noticed before. Every sound, no matter how faint, was crystal clear. He could hear the subtle rustle of leaves from trees that were miles away, the gentle lapping of water against distant shores. Even the air felt different as it moved over his skin, more alive, more electric.

He clenched his fists, feeling the raw, potent energy coursing through his veins. It was intoxicating. He felt as though he could destroy anything that stood in his way, crush mountains with a single blow, bend the very fabric of reality to his will. Origin flowing through his body.

[That's not possible, host.]

[The materials are of Legend grade, and they will upgrade due to being in touch with origin energy.]

Luke chuckled, "No need to dampen the mood. Let me wear the suit," he said, eager to see what the royal suit would feel like.

As soon as he voiced the command, the suit materialized on his body. It was a masterpiece of design and functionality, a navy-blue ensemble with a golden flair that exuded both power and elegance. The suit was as dark as the void of space, woven from materials that seemed to absorb the very light around it. Golden edges traced the seams, adding a regal touch, while a striking red pocket square provided a flash of color. His entire aura shifted the moment he donned the suit. He felt regal, authoritative, like a king ready to command his empire.

"System, assimilate the Library of Origin's Path," he ordered.

As soon as the command was given, the world around him shifted. Luke found himself standing in a room that exuded an air of quiet intellect and potential. It was a cozy, well-lit space, with two large bookshelves on either side of the room. Between them stood a sturdy wooden table, a reading lamp casting a warm glow over its surface, and a plush couch that invited one to sit and lose themselves in thought.

The shelves were empty, but their pristine condition suggested that they were ready to hold a vast collection of knowledge. The moment Luke stepped into the room, a flood of information washed over him. He understood the library's purpose instantly, as if the knowledge had always been there, just waiting to be unlocked.

The Library of Origin's Path was more than just a collection of books—it was a repository for all the techniques, skills, and knowledge he would encounter. Any technique he saw would be automatically recorded in the library as a book. From there, he could choose to instantly learn it, improve it, or simply store it for later. He could do all three simultaneously if he wished. He could even modify and enhance techniques, making them more powerful or more suited to his needs. It was like having his own personal Library of Heaven's Path, but even better, because this one was real, and it was his.

Luke couldn't believe his luck. This was beyond OP—it was the ultimate cheat code. Though the shelves were empty now, he knew it was only a matter of time before they were filled with books, each one containing the secrets and techniques of countless worlds.

Returning to reality, Luke decided it was time to test his next gift. He summoned the essence of the weapon, watching as it materialized in his hand like a glowing orb of pure energy. It felt warm, pulsing with a life of its own, and as he held it, Luke realized just how versatile this gift truly was.

He began to experiment, willing the essence to take different forms. In an instant, the orb transformed into a sleek, modern handgun, then into a powerful longbow with a quiver of arrows. He shifted it into a massive shield, then an imposing battle-axe, a Warhammer, a staff, a halberd, and finally, a sword. Each weapon felt natural in his hands, as though it had always been a part of him.

But the true beauty of the essence was its customizability. Luke could modify each weapon, tailoring its appearance and functionality to his exact specifications. He could make the sword longer or shorter, sharper or duller, lighter or heavier. He could add intricate designs to the shield, making it not only a defensive tool but also a work of art.

Luke preferred the katana. There was something about the elegance and precision of the weapon that resonated with him on a deep level. As he focused on this preference, the blob of energy in his hand began to shift and mold itself, transforming into a katana with a slow, deliberate grace. The handle was wrapped in a black cord, its texture firm and reassuring in his grip, while a golden cord wrap added a touch of sophistication. The blade itself was a sleek, steely gray, gleaming with a quiet menace. Just below the guard, an infinity symbol was inscribed, its curves elegant and fluid, a subtle reminder of the limitless potential he now wielded.

For a few minutes, Luke was lost in admiration, turning the katana over in his hands, marveling at its flawless craftsmanship. It felt perfectly balanced, almost as if it were an extension of his own arm. He gave it a few tentative swings, feeling the air part with a satisfying whoosh as the blade cut through it. Despite having no formal training in any sword art, the weapon felt natural in his hands, almost as if it were guiding him, anticipating his movements.

He knew, of course, that this would soon change. As he ventured into other worlds, he would undoubtedly learn various sword techniques, mastering the katana in ways he could only dream of now. But even without those skills, the power of the weapon was undeniable. It was a reflection of the origin energy that flowed through him—an energy that could transform into other energies, adapting to any world, any situation. Whether it was chakra, mana, or any other form of power, origin energy could mimic it, or he could simply use it in its purest form. It was truly multiversal.

Satisfied with his brief experimentation, Luke willed the katana to change, and with a thought, it began to shift again. The blade and handle dissolved into a shimmering golden ring, which then gracefully slipped onto his finger. The ring, adorned with the same infinity symbol, was simple yet elegant.

"System, show me my status," Luke commanded, eager to see a summary of his newfound abilities.

There were other tabs listed below—beasts, skills, techniques, and more—but for now, they were empty. The only tab that had any content was the weapons tab, which currently displayed the katana, now in the form of a ring. He knew it wouldn't be long before these tabs were filled.

Luke could hardly believe his stats. The idea that he could, with all his might, shatter a planet with a single punch was both terrifying and exhilarating. It was a bit overwhelming, but he knew he had to adjust. There were more pressing matters to attend to.

"Now, let's move on to the mission, though I already know what it is"
