Back in the normal world, Adam's world, which had effectively drowned after staying too long in the bath awakened again as life came back to him.

Rising up from the water with a gasp, Adam's grip tightened around the brother of the bathtub so tightly that it left crack in it.

'What the hell had just happened.'

His mind was still reeling because of the event that had just happened.

[Congratulation. You have awakened the Crown Chakra without the use of Karma. As such, it will be possible to open a third Chakra later on at the price the second chakra should have been.]

Registering the words of Genesis, Adam growled; "What the hell was that? I nearly died."

[You would have not. In fact, rejecting the enlightenment of Budha was an extremely inefficient move. Had you managed to keep a greater part of it, you would have become barely comparable to the other Primogenitor.]

"...And I would have lost my sense of self and become something or someone else."

[Is power not your goal? One should be ready to pay the appropriate price when chasing after power. The world runs on Equivalent Exchange. Give something to get something.]

"It is indeed. But some limits should never be crossed."

Adam frowned as he stood up with but immediately felt like he was about to fall.

"Ugh…."

His sense of balance was completely fucked. Not only that. His perception seemed to stretch the physical limit of the human body. It felt a new part of his body was opening and he could feel all his surroundings. It was definitely a rather foreign sensation. As if he had grown an extra limb or pair of eyes in this matter.

'What is happening to me?'

He remembered Genesis speaking about the second chakra—The crown.

"Explain to me exactly what happened and why. From now, never take any initiative without asking my permission."

[Ex-rank skills are skills beyond the limit of mortality created by powerful entities. They have a hidden history and by going through the synchronization you can greatly increase the power of the skill or get more benefits. Such as you obtaining enlightenment

[The lower the synchronization rate between the two, the higher the chance of losing your mind completely by being swallowed.]

"And I suppose you didn't tell me because I do not ask?"

[Sharing information that has no value at the moment is a waste of time and energy.]

Adam nodded, "As I thought, the two of us cannot get along."

Adam leaned slowly and focused on the floating book.

The first information that caught his eyes and the reason all of this began.

[Acquisition of the Eyes of Truth successful]

Looking at his status page, he could see it slowly began to change and become slightly more detailed.

[Name: Adam Gospel

Affiliation: N/A

Alias: N/A

Race: Primogenitor

Age: 21

Weakness: Curse of Cain

Acquired Power: Book of Genesis

Innate Authority: Origin

Unique Skill: ???

Skills: Eyes of Truth

Overall Combat Capacity: D+

Remark: You now have the potential to go beyond the Limit]

This was Adam's new stats page. He realized immediately that while nothing much changed overall, he was slowly becoming stronger.

Firstly, he had a unique Skill. The question mark was kinda bothering him though. This was the first time the so-called book of knowledge showed this.

Aside from this, his skill appraisal had vanished, clearly being swallowed by the Eye of Truth.

[Skill: Eyes of Truth

Description: Gazing in the sea of knowledge to obtain information. This is the apex of all sensory skills. All skills of the same type obtained in the future will be assimilated and enhanced in it to further its growth.

Rank: Ex

Proficiency: Beginner.]

"Another abstract description."

He nearly lost himself in this skill so he hoped that it would be worth it. If he understood the words currently this skill was just an enhanced version of Appraisal as it was the skill that was absorbed. But if he later on he nourished it with other skills of the same type…

"I want you to prepare a list of cheap skills I can learn or pay with karma."

[Understood.]

Adam wanted to make the full use of this power. The more information he could obtain with it, the safer he would be.

He then focused on the second skill he obtained.

[Name: ???

Description : *Currently analyzing*

Proficiency: * Currently analyzing*]

[The innate power of Origin reacted with your enlightenment and gave birth to a new skill that existed in no Archive. I am currently observing and analyzing your body. I can accelerate the process by absorbing the remaining Karma]

"Accelerating by how much?"

[A few days to a few minutes.]

"Do it."

This was a skill born from the so-called power of Origin and his enlightenment. This was a skill that belonged only to him at the moment.

He was quite curious about its effect.

Adam may have joked around about being a pay-to-win player but he understood just how important Genesis was for his growth.

It could allow him to skip a long research and fumble in just understanding the basics.

Though it seemed like Karma could not help him accelerate the learning process of a skill.

[Entering the Library will help in increasing all learning processes tremendously.]

"I only have one fast pass left."

Adam did not like leaving things to chance. He still had one quest that could give him Free pass to enter the library.

Kill his killer.

This was a rather dangerous quest and Adam was not sure yet that he could do so. He lacked too much information to go on a Wild chase, searching an enemy he did not even know the whereabouts of.

Now wasn't the time to think about this yet. One thing at times. Haste made waste after all.

With that out of the way he slowly stood up, still a little wobbly but much better than a few moments ago, and approached the mirror, careful to not suddenly fall. He didn't want to die again in his bathroom.

It wasn't easy. Once again the world felt different. It wasn't the vividness he obtained by opening the Third Eye but more like an increase in the amount of information he could obtain and process.

He felt like his thoughts were moving much faster than before as well.

Reaching the mirror above the sink, Adam first observed his disheveled appearance.

The first he noticed was the color of his eyes.

He always had blue eyes. But the current ones seemed completely different. It was as if he was holding the sky itself in his eyes. In a way, they seemed more like shining jewels than true eyes.

'So I am not a vampire and my skin doesn't shine but I have eyes that can serve as lighthouses?'

It was so ridiculously funny that he forgot an instant why he was here.

But it was also worrying. With eyes like that, he didn't even need to tell anyone that he was not something human.

This was too conspicuous.

"What is happening with my eyes currently and how can I stop it."

[The eyes are a reflection of the Soul. The stronger you become, the brighter they become. They will only become normal when you lock your powers]

'Okay. Note to self. Buy contact lenses just in case.'

This was only a minor problem currently. So he decided to focus on what was important.

"Observation."

Looking at the mirror, he could see a string of words appearing.

[Adjusting the display to the cognition of the user.]
