The forest was quiet. Still. The aftermath of devastation had pushed Keysa to a new edge of power—and despair.
Kneeling on the moss-covered ground, he began a ritual only spoken of in ancient texts, whispered among the Tower Masters.
He pierced his palm, letting his blood drip onto the fertile earth. Slowly, tendrils of crimson mist rose and coalesced into humanoid forms—his blood children, born of his essence, his will, and his sealed power.

These blood humans stood silently, their eyes glowing faintly red, awaiting commands.
Keysa smiled grimly — even if he could not always protect his village himself, these guardians would watch over it in his absence.
His Adaptive Power flared again, scanning the environment and absorbing subtle energies to grow stronger.

Training and Mastery
Keysa returned deep into the forest, determined to push past his limits. Days blurred into nights as he:
Practiced controlling 100+ swords with fluid elemental combos — fire blades spinning in deadly spirals, water swords flowing like rivers, and lightning-charged steel slicing through illusions.
Moved at Phase Speed, intangibly slipping through branches and stone, training to react faster than even the fastest lightning.
Adapted body and mind to the raw elements — freezing cold, scorching heat, dense magical fogs, toxic mists — mastering survival and combat in all conditions.
His system continued to learn and evolve with each observation:
Mental Adaptation: Instantly learning the battle techniques of a hawk mid-dive.
Magical Adaptation: Absorbing latent forest magic, amplifying his own attacks.
Psychological Adaptation: Remaining calm through trials, never faltering mentally.
The Divine Encounter
One mist-shrouded dawn, Keysa sensed a tremor in reality itself.
From a rift in the skies descended a godlike entity, radiant and terrible — an ancient guardian testing mortals' worth.
SYSTEM ALERT:Entity Class: God-tierThreat Level: InfiniteRecommendation: Activate Body Power Opening
The god's voice thundered, "You dare challenge fate itself, child of blood and tower?"
Without hesitation, Keysa's body power opened again.

Time slowed. The forest hushed as Keysa moved with impossible grace. His swords danced in complex combos, each strike shifting elements fluidly:
Fire-Water Cyclone Slash: A blazing water tornado of searing steam and scalding waves.
Lightning-Shadow Piercer: A strike so fast and dark it seemed to rip through the very air.
Earth-Wind Barrier: Summoning a whirling shield of stones and razor gusts.
He phased through the god's devastating attacks, retaliating with bursts of reality warping that twisted the battlefield.
His blood humans surged forward, their forms glowing with divine light, clashing against the divine challenger.
SYSTEM SCREENS:"Power levels beyond measure. Adaptive Power at peak. Tactical analysis: 100% success in learning god-tier techniques."
The god's expression shifted—from disdain to wary respect.
"You possess the future's power... but can you wield it without losing yourself?"
Keysa's reply was silent, his eyes glowing red, his swords ready to write destiny's next chapter.
