"Yup, all done."

X> What have you done…

X> You've become my darkest moment.

X> Stop with the stupid reference to Legend (Epic). Sure, the work is awesome, but throwing it around casually like this makes me want to smack you.

Well, it seems I got my little revenge on them. Probably best to stop antagonizing them here, though.

"Haha, don't be like that, guys. Besides, like many of you guessed, this is similar to the game Mystica. In short, at higher levels, it's not unusual for all your stats to hit 100—especially when you reach level 200 or above."

"Although, in this world, ranks are a thing. In the game, you needed specific criteria every 100 levels to proceed. While they're similar, there are key differences."

"So, shake off the gloom and cheer up, dear viewers!"

X> …Well, you're technically right, but that was still pretty psycho.

X> Sociopath vibes, for sure.

X> Yeah, just like that UNKNOWN guy in the game.

X> That dude was insane! How'd he reach such high levels with only 10 points in each stat?

X> Right? That was nuts. Even though stats were visible in the game, no one ever figured out his skills. They were concealed the whole time, and even after all this time, they remain a mystery.

X> Psycho, sociopath, loose screws—definitely insane.

X> Agreed, etc.

Are they… talking about me? Nah, no way. I'm not that famous.

Sure, it's true my build had only 10 points per stat back then, but they should've figured out that my only skills were Space Inventory and Equipment Change. It's simple stuff—they should've pieced it together.

So, it must be someone else.

Accepting that conclusion, I shifted my focus back to the task at hand.

"Well, dear viewers, how about we test this build right away?"

X> …What do you mean?

X> ???

X> ???

Without waiting for the chat to catch up, the scene shifted.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I opened my eyes.

I was back in the physical world, my body restored. Before I could ponder further, the chat window exploded with comments reacting to my last words.

X> Oh, looks like we're back where we started. Check it out—there's the indifferent white altar again, standing out from the rest of the gray background.

X> Yeah, but where are we going now? What's next?

X> Agreed, etc.

I remained silent, letting their questions linger for suspense. Answers would come soon enough.

Approaching the altar, I extended a human-shaped hand and placed it on the cold surface.

The moment my palm made contact, light erupted from the altar like a miniature sun, brightening the entire room.

The dull gray marble around me transformed, turning a pristine white and erasing all traces of the previous gloomy atmosphere.

X> A—

Before the audience could even finish reacting, the statue of the goddess—standing atop the altar—began to lift. It rose like a medieval portcullis, the term popping into my mind for some reason.

Probably Makina's doing. Her shared databank must've fed me that bit of trivia. Makes sense, given her vast library of public and company-stored data.

Anyway, back to the moment.

When the statue finished its ascent, it revealed a hidden path—a long corridor stretching out before me, shrouded in unknown and adventure

X> This is...

X> Secret door? No, more like a secret gate!

X> No, it's a disguised portcullis! Look at its weight alone—must need heavy machinery or incredible strength to lift it.

X> Must be magic!!!

X> Magic? Magic? It's physics! Clearly mechanical engineering at play here.

X> That tone... must be an engineer. Mechanical or electrical? Scared your job will be obsolete because of magic? Ha! Like AI hasn't already replaced most of you.

X> What did you say!?

X> Bickering continues, etc.

Although I understand the gravity of their argument, the issues back in our world are so far removed from me now—literally a world apart.

Turning away from the scene, I circle the altar to regain my composure and then proceed into the corridor.

The corridor stretched out in darkness, its oppressive silence only broken by the sound of my steps.

The moment I take my first step into the corridor, my vision turns black. Everything disappears into pitch darkness.

°Night Vision Activated

Expecting to pierce through the void, I quickly realize nothing changes.

X> Wait, why is it still dark? I thought night vision was on!

X> Yeah, it's pitch black. Did you even turn it on properly?

X> Just so you know, blindness doesn't always mean total darkness—

X> Shut up! Stop overwhelming the chat window and the word count!

Despite the comments flooding in, I dismiss them. None of my enhanced visions work here, and no amount of AI assistance seems to help. I'm left to navigate the corridor blind, relying entirely on the goddess's word and Makina's plan.

After walking for what feels like an eternity, my patience teeters on the edge. Suddenly, I spot a faint light in the distance. Relief floods me.

"(Finally!)"

Straightening my posture, I pick up my pace, transitioning into a run. With Makina's limits on my body in place, I push as hard as I can. Faster and faster, I close the gap between me and the light until I finally burst through the dark into...

X>What... is this place?

The new area is narrow and circular, surrounded by an endless void of oppressive darkness. Unlike before, the floor beneath me is pure white.

In the center of the room stands an altar, much like the one from before, but this time gray. Draped across it is a cloak, its fabric shimmering faintly as if alive.

X> What kind of creepy place is this? The surrounding darkness is unnerving.

X> Nah, it's just super-upgraded Vantablack. Relax! It's probably just a wall.

X> Hey, bro, could you reach out and check if there's anything beyond it?

"(HECK NO!!!)"

There's no way I'm doing that! Suppressing the urge to shout back at them, I instead focus on what Makina instructed me to do next.

Without hesitation, I step up to the altar, grab the cloak, and drape it over my shoulders.

The cloak shimmers in response, conforming perfectly to my figure. The material feels unnervingly light yet warm, almost sentient.

Next, I place my hands on the altar's surface, its cold texture sending a shiver through me.

As soon as my palm connects, a radiant white light erupts, starting from where I stand and quickly consuming the entire space.

(Blinding light intensifies...)

The gray altar transforms before my eyes, turning pristine white. The light surges outward, swallowing even the darkness beyond. My vision turns white as the room becomes blindingly radiant.
