[Unnamed Essence (???) - A perfect, self-contained singularity of pure "is-ness" the state that exists before Origin, before nothingness, before the concept of beginnings.
It does not emanate, radiate, or flow. It simply is, and reality warps to acknowledge its presence.
Where Origin's Aura created possibilities.... This essence defines inevitability. Whatever it touches becomes the only possible Truth.]
Ash exhaled slowly, the seed of Unnamed Essence floating before him in the vast silence of his inner cosmos.
Terror gripped him—primal, deeper than any bloodline suppression. A soul-deep fear that made his entire cosmos shudder faintly, stars flickering, oceans rippling, the rose-gold dawn dimming for a heartbeat.
He collected himself, wings rustling as he steadied his breath.
Then he continued.
With a thought, he cracked open a small fissure in his cosmos—a window to the outside world of Astralis, four suns gleaming in the blue sky.
He activated his title.
|Forger of the Unwritten Cycle|
Time compressed, resources amplified, forging requirements slashed.
His Progenitor title followed—a single drop of blood forming, pure essence of the First.
He channeled every Law connectable through his titles—known and unknown, pulling them into the cosmos like rivers into an ocean. Laws he hadn't even considered comprehending flooded in: Fate fragments, Karma echoes, Cycle threads, even distant whispers of Life and Death.
The process lasted two full days—yet felt eternal and instantaneous, his title reducing what should have been centuries.... perhaps millennia to mere moments.
Finally, he opened his eyes with a lazy smirk.
Before him floated a glob of light—a perfect rainbow sphere, every color and none, pulsing with the weight of inevitability.
In a heartbeat, it shot forward—straight into his forehead.
[Unnamed Nexus is scanning Master's existence…]
An emotionless female voice echoed in his mind, vast and impartial as the Records themselves...
Well, it seemed so....
Ash's smirk widened, fangs glinting.
He leaned back in the void, voice teasing.
"Oh? Not even going to introduce yourself?" Ash teased, voice light as he floated in the vast silence of his inner cosmos, the rainbow glob now fully integrated.
[...Master already knows my existence in and out…] The emotionless female voice echoed in his mind, calm and vast as the Records themselves.
Then it softened, just a fraction.
[I am the Unnamed Nexus of the Master—or in other words, your closest companion now through eternity and beyond. My duty is to assure the Master reaches the epitome of perfection and omnipotence… Created in the image of the Master himself, I offer a multitude of functions that will only increase as the Master's power grows.]
She listed them clearly, methodically.
[Perfection Audit – The Nexus constantly scans the user's existence. It points out what's holding you back: redundant talents, skills, or anything diluting purity. It won't fix it for you… but shows the flaws and suggested paths for solutions.
Nexus Fusion Forge – Any talents or skills can be fused to create the strongest version possible.
Resource Fountain – A fountain placed wherever the user wills. The fountain turns ambient mana into a constant influx of resources needed by the clan. Current peak items are Paragon rank; to exceed this, the user must undergo select tasks.
Sub Nexus – Each chosen person can receive a sub nexus. It is a lesser version without sentience. It simply pushes the recipient to perfection through tasks based on their Fate, Destiny, Karma, and more… Rewards are randomly generated based on task completion.]
Ash chuckled, leaning back in the void, wings rustling.
"You really explained it well… Elysia."
The name felt right—eternal, beautiful, a whisper of stars and inevitability.
[Elysia… Thank you, Master…]
The voice warmed, just enough to notice.
Ash's grin widened.
"Welcome to the family, Elysia. We've got a long way to go."
Ash paused, floating in the vast rose-gold expanse of his inner cosmos, the starlight tree at the center pulsing softly like a distant heartbeat. The Unnamed Nexus—now Elysia—had fully integrated, her voice a calm, emotionless echo in his mind as the evaluation unfolded in golden letters before his blood-drop eyes.
[Evaluation of Master's Existence Complete.]
[Strengths:
Laws at 100 % Mastery: Lust, Space, Time, Paradox, Fire, Water, Ash, Mana, Creation, Abundance, Gravity, Protection, Blood, Illusions, Silence. Comprehensive command over reality's foundational forces, enabling galaxy-scale manipulation and conceptual dominance.
Excellent—boosts the Master's battle prowess as law comprehension reigns supreme among those of the same rank.
Physique: Origin Self— Fuses Master's existence into one (Soul, Body, and Core). Allows access to unique inner universe and OP evolution, creation, and copying mechanisms.
OP - The Master's existence can no longer be targeted individually, unlocks a vast array of potential power paths.
Mana Pool (MP): 59 Billion—dense, allowing sustained use of multiple Laws without exhaustion, far exceeding typical Calamity limits.
Excellent
Progenitor Baby Progenitor Stage—unlimited growth ceiling as the First of the Primavus race.
OP – The Master's race is far beyond the usual starting stages of most others. From my calculations, there are indeed races with multiple intertwined lineages within this dimension, but none that come close to reaching this level.
Weaknesses:
Optimization Deficit: Master possesses an excess of talents and skills, many rarely used or overlapping in function. This dilutes efficiency and purity; redundancy hinders ascension to perfection.
-Recommendation: Fuse them into fewer, superior talents/skills that evolve with Master. Nexus Fusion Forge can consolidate darkness-aspects into one ultimate talent, desire-elements into another, and human/light/adaptability into a third. Skills can be streamlined to one supreme sword art and one unique, multifaceted ability.
Progenitor Growth Stage: Baby Stage—race remains underdeveloped with only eight members. Darkness dominance (from Nosferatu and Celestial Fox) creates imbalance, skewing toward void and hunger without countering light/adaptability.
-Progression Routes: Expand the Primavus ranks, with sub-Nexus units boosting subordinate growth through assigned tasks. Introduce balancing races into the bloodline: Luminary Seraphs, light-infused celestial beings that bring radiant harmony and energy resonance, and Eternal Adaptors, shapeshifting humanoids with unmatched adaptability and form optimization. Assimilation will advance the race to the Juvenile Stage, unlocking shared bloodline evolutions.]
---
Ash stared at the golden letters, shock rippling through him like a cosmic wave—the evaluation laid bare flaws he hadn't considered yet... promised paths to power that made his blood sing.
"Well, I have 24 hours left… I can handle the talents for now," he muttered, exhaling as the display faded.
He sat cross-legged on a floating jade platform, the silver ocean below rippling in response to his focus. Elysia's voice guided softly in his mind.
[Initiating Nexus Fusion Forge. Select talents/skills for consolidation.]
Ash pulled up his arsenal, golden threads manifesting around him like a web of power.
He fused darkness-aspects first: Nosferatu Eternal Thirst, Whispering Apocalypse Fists, Crimson Paradox Veil, and related skills wove together in a vortex of rose-pink void.
The result bloomed—a single, evolvable talent.
[Umbral Primavus Abyss (Paragon – Growable) - Master becomes the void incarnate: devours blood, mana, essence, and light in silent unmaking. Strikes channel infinite darkness voids, replicating combat infinitely across timelines while paradox-veils warp enemy souls into endless decay. Victims crave their own abyss, drawn inexorably closer. Evolves with added light-balance races.]
Next, desire-elements: Lust Law talents and skills fused into raw craving.
[Infinite Desire (Paragon – Growable) - Commands desires as absolute truth—manifests, amplifies, or devours them to fuel power. Enemies experience eternal lust-fire, turning strengths to weaknesses in recursive cravings. Passive: Heightens Master's allure and adaptability in social/combat scenarios. Evolves with human/light infusions.]
[A/N: He won't lose the ability to bind others to him, nor will he lose his power to break or create oaths. All of these abilities are interconnected within these talent.]
Finally, human/light/adaptability: Conceptual Sight, Origin Seeker, and adaptive skills merged.
[Stellar Adaptor (Paragon – Growable) - Instantly comprehends and adapts to any phenomenon, Law, or environment, turning weaknesses into strengths. Scans for optimal paths/resources galaxy-wide, forging perfection from chaos. Passive: Light-resonance counters darkness imbalance. Evolves with new race fusions.]
And instead of creating new skills, he decided to merge them all into talents that eliminate MP consumption.
[Primordia Stellar Sword Art (Paragon – Growable) - Wields Primordia with galaxy-weight stellar arcs; each swing manifests nebulae illusions that paradox and ruin on contact. Channels any Law for galaxy-scale strikes. Evolves with user's realm.]
[Eternal Origin Nexus (Paragon – Growable) Copies, forges, then manifests anything tailored to desires of others at superior quality. Passive: Binds creations to user eternally.]
With the fusion complete, excess talents and skills melted into pure essence, flooding Ash's body as power surged and the cosmos settled into balance.
He exhaled, feeling lighter, more refined.
"Better."
Elysia's voice echoed approvingly.
[Optimization at .89 %. Master is one step closer to omnipotence.]
