Felix stared at his reflection in the mirror, momentarily captivated.
"…This face," he muttered, eyes narrowing slightly,
"is going to cause me a lot of trouble."
After a brief pause, he spoke inwardly.
"System."
[Yes, host.]
"I can talk to you through my mind, right?"
[Correct, host.]
"Then tell me," Felix said calmly, his crimson eyes unwavering,
"what exactly is my purpose in this world?"
There was a short silence.
[That information cannot be accessed at your current power level, host.]
Felix raised an eyebrow.
"So I'm that weak?"
[Your potential is immeasurable, host. However, at your current state, you are no different from a cosmic ant.]
"…I don't like that comparison."
His tone hardened slightly.
"Then answer me this—are you going to help me get stronger, or are you just here to talk?"
[The System will provide tasks to assist the host's growth.]
Felix exhaled slowly.
"Good. Then it's time I see my status."

Felix stared at the panel in silence.
"…These stats are terrible."
[You have not begun cultivation yet, host.]
"Then explain this," Felix said, eyes narrowing.
"Why is there a question mark under my race?"
[Your existence does not align with any known race in this world, host.]
"…Is that so?"
[Yes, host.]
Felix fell into thought, then remembered two more things.
"Why is there a question mark next to my affinities?"
"And what exactly do Absolute Comprehension and Universal Adaptability mean?"
The System responded instantly, as if it had been waiting for those questions.
[The question mark in your affinity section indicates that additional affinities will unlock as you complete tasks and progress.]
After a brief pause, the System continued—its tone almost… excited.
[Absolute Comprehension allows the host to instantly understand and permanently retain anything—be it knowledge, sword techniques, magic, or abstract concepts—with a single glance. This talent automatically elevates your intelligence to SSS+.]
Felix's eyes widened slightly.
[Universal Adaptability enables your body to align with all paths. If subjected to poisons, mental interference, or foreign energies, you will adapt and develop immunity—as long as you do not die.]
Felix's thoughts came to a complete halt.
After a long silence, only one word escaped his lips.
"…That's insanely overpowered."
