The morning sun rose over Greenhollow, but it was a pale, uncertain light. Birds chirped as if unsure of the day, and even the river seemed hesitant to flow. T Ken sat on the edge of the forest, staring at his hands. They no longer looked the same—slightly translucent, almost vibrating with unseen energy.
The Ω∞D System hummed faintly in the back of his mind. Not like a notification, not like a screen. More like a heartbeat.
[Over-Existence Tier: 0.0000002% Unsealed]
[Threshold Authority: Pre-Existence Override]
[Warning: Reality Instability Detected]
---
First Taste of Absolute Authority
T Ken clenched his fists. A fallen branch nearby lifted into the air as if caught by invisible strings. Leaves twirled, suspended midair. He blinked. The wind stopped, but not completely—only around him. Time itself seemed hesitant.
"Is… is this me?" he whispered.
The System replied—not in words, but as a surge of awareness:
[Command Potential Detected.
Limitations: None.
Caution: User is fragile.]
T Ken extended a hand toward the forest path. The dirt beneath him split—not like a crack, but like existence itself was being rewritten. Small patches of grass vanished, then returned differently, as if reality itself was being edited like a draft.

A Threat Appears
Suddenly, a howl echoed from the woods—a sound that seemed wrong, heavy with impossibility. A creature appeared. Its form flickered between shapes: wolf, shadow, flame, and… something that didn't exist yet. Its eyes were a void, and when it moved, space seemed to bend around it.
T Ken's heart raced, but he didn't panic. He knew instinctively:
He could handle it.
A wave of new energy coursed through him. The System opened an interface, unlike anything he had ever seen: glyphs rotated in midair, symbols that were simultaneously mathematics, music, and color, merging into something beyond comprehension.
[Over-Existence Authority: Active]
[New Ability Detected: Did Not Exist Yet]
[Suggested Action: Experiment]
T Ken nodded. He didn't fully understand, but he trusted himself—and the System.

Testing the Boundaries
He focused on the creature. The very concept of "enemy" formed in his mind. The System responded, creating tools and constructs that didn't exist before.
A weapon materialized in his hand—a sword made of collapsing light and empty space, edges folding reality itself.
Reality Split Blade — Prototype
Can cut through elemental, magical, and conceptual boundaries
Exists temporarily as an interface between "now" and "possible"
Can even sever connections that never existed before
He swung. The creature froze. Space bent. For a moment, it ceased to exist, only to reappear moments later—still distorted, still impossible.
T Ken's eyes widened. This was not power. This was creation.

The System Guides
A soft voice echoed in his mind—Hyung Fyi's echo, perhaps, or the System itself:
"Remember. Over-Existence is not about destruction. It is about authority. Do not break what you cannot restore."
T Ken nodded, absorbing the lesson instinctively. He could sense the limits—and also sense that there were no real limits.
He focused again. This time, instead of attacking, he created a small area where the impossible was allowed. The creature, frozen in the anomaly, looked confused. He then summoned a construct: a golden net made of rules that did not exist yet, binding the beast.
Binding Nets — Over-Existence Variant
Non-lethal
Targets conceptual entities
Can restrain things that violate reality
The creature struggled, then collapsed, finally subdued.

Understanding the Cost
T Ken sat down, exhausted—not physically, but mentally. Every action required him to think beyond the world, to command forces that should never exist. Every heartbeat echoed with infinite possibility.
The forest around him began to correct itself, slowly returning to normal. The birds hesitated, then resumed their songs. The river flowed. Leaves fell. Everything was restored, but it would never be the same again.
He looked at his hands. They were trembling, but steady.
"I… I think I understand," T Ken murmured. "This… Over-Existence… it's not just power. It's responsibility."
The System confirmed silently:
[Authority Acknowledged.
User Potential Expanding.
Next Unlock: Pre-Existence Manipulation.]

Hyung Fyi's Silent Approval
From somewhere beyond sight, Hyung Fyi observed. He did not smile, but his approval was clear in the faint echo of the world's restored balance.
"Good. You have touched what should not exist… and survived."
T Ken's gaze hardened. This was only the beginning.
The Over-Existence Tier was awakening inside him, and soon, he would create tools, meals, weapons, and abilities that had never existed in any universe.
And nothing—no kingdom, no creature, no magic—would ever be the same again.
