    Lacking control and deeming himself a novice in both meditation and manipulating the flow, Tetsu observed the aurora, its millions of lights reduced to a select few in his eyes. He conjectured that the various hues represented the life force of distinct creatures, with the transparent wave separating them symbolizing the pure life force.

    Humans relied on a green light for healing and energizing themselves. Tetsu realized that if he ever needed to assist a non-human friend, he would need to master the manipulation of the other hues, too.

    Another approach involves inundating them with the untainted, or pure, life force, devoid of any imposed will. In this manner, individuals can transmute the energy into their distinctive essence and facilitate healing. While the conversion process demands significant energy, it stands as a preferable alternative to facing death.

    Tetsu found it challenging to isolate the green hue amidst the others, let alone discern the true transparent life force.

    As a larger quantity of the green hue accumulated within the orb, it gradually consumed and transformed the other hues. Yet when the ratios were minuscule or slightly skewed, the orb was rendered useless to him, as the dominating hues turned the rest into its signature.

    The presence of multiple hues compelled Tetsu to convert them, resulting in a greater expenditure of energy during the conversion process.

    Whether due to the complexity of the concept or Tetsu’s limited understanding of it, the system refused to hand out a skill.

    Deprived of a skill, Tetsu dedicated himself to deciphering the concept, spending eight to ten hours daily in intense concentration, just to create one orb capable of replenishing his health pool by a modest five percent. He rounded it off because the math got too complicated.

   Though the progress was modest, Tetsu acknowledged he had taken a significant step forward. Vital energy sat atop his bucket list, yet he refused to attribute too much credit to the goddess [Order], so out of spite, he relegated this boon to the bottom tier.

    Next came that jerk Adam, rudely interrupting a delightful dream of a harem.

    Two individuals lost in the unconscious might have seen the same person but personified him as different individuals: Gabriel, the archangel of light, and Lucifer, the archangel of darkness. Tetsu envisioned him as either a single individual with split personalities or a facade employed for deeper purposes.

    “Adam, the first man.” He frowned

    Tetsu hated his guts and imagined wearing it as a medal once he reached godhood. While the insect god deemed [Rot’s] deceit as the hallmark of treachery among the gods, he disagreed. True deception remained inscrutable, with Adam embodying that elusive trait perfectly.

    The formidable scar had never heard of him, and that snippet of information was all Tetsu required to firmly plant Adam on the pinnacle of the deceit mountain. While the title bestowed by Adam might be the most potent boon received thus far, it also served as a constant reminder of the deceit.

    Tetsu harbored a visceral desire to tear the title from his screen and force it down Adam’s throat, but alas, the system command had not yet reached that level of control. Out of spite, Tetsu commanded the system to erase the description, leaving only the bonuses displayed.

 

[Ding! Gifted Title: First Man. Bonuses: 1% increase to all stats: +40 Luck: +1 Luck for every level: Percentile blocker lifted over the Luck stat.]

 

    “Some of my stats are blocked?” The last bonus left Tetsu dumbfounded. The very idea sounded absurd—why impose limitations on his capabilities when he was already battling to survive? The additional points of luck prompted Tetsu to reassess his theory about luck being a fluctuating stat.

    “Of course, I need adjustments. Did you assume you could decode such a complicated stat within...” He scolded himself, his voice rising as if addressing a third person.

    Tetsu recalled he had no means of tracking time since entering Eternal Slumber. “Does time even function the same?” he pondered, his heart heavy with apprehension. With a reluctant hand, he opened the timer, only to have his fears confirmed—and worsened—by the clock’s display.

    The timer began its countdown, and to Tetsu’s dismay, he had already lost four days.

 

[Tutorial will end in:- 270D: 20Hrs: 44Min: 14Sec. Goal:- Reach Warrior status for successful integration.]

 

    “Damn it! Luck will never be on my side, even if the god of Luck chooses me as his champion,” Tetsu exclaimed in frustration.

    He shoved the screen aside with force in an attempt to vent, but his irritation heightened as an extra column below the timer caught his eye. Intrigued, he reopened the system timer to discover two additional titles.

    These weren’t added to the current column of titles because they were held off as rewards for the ones who survived this ordeal. Tetsu mused at them, contemplating the two new titles.
