"I'll head to Orario early—I don't know how long the journey will take. The remaining time, I'll use to get familiar with the city and the dungeon."
As I plan my next moves, J interrupts with a notification.
"Sir, I would like to remind you that you have finished quest rewards you haven't collected yet."
"Quest rewards? Oh, the shelter quest! Wait—why did you say quests, plural? J, open quests."

"Damn—it feels good to be OP! Now, what should I do with these points? I could upgrade my existing skills to Hero tier… but they're not the foundation I want. I need magic—real magic. Not just casting spells—I want total control over magic itself."
"J, buy me Magic Control, Magic Efficiency, Magic Runes, and All-Element Efficiency skills."
My goal is clear—I will command magic freely, shaping effects as I see fit. As long as I can control it and fuel it with mana, I will stand at the peak.
"Sir, the All-Element Efficiency skill is unnecessary. Since your WIS is ∞, Instant Mastery already grants you control over the elements—you simply don't know how to command them yet. As for the other skills, you can buy them at either Hero Realm or Mortal Realm."
"That's even better! I swear, my heart might explode from excitement."
"How much does each cost?"
"150 WP for Hero Realm, 75 WP for Mortal Realm."
"Get me the Hero-tier ones."
"Right away, sir."

[Fusion Process: 0% … 50% … 85%]
A sudden warning flashes.
[Warning! You are defying this world's laws, and it is trying to stop the fusion process. Prevent the chains from touching you, or the fusion will be halted, and skills will be lost.]
Out of nowhere, spectral chains emerge, trying to bind me in place.
I raise a magic barrier, and the chains crash against it, struggling to restrain me.
Sweat beads down my forehead—I pour every ounce of mana I have into the barrier.
[Fusion Completion in: 5 seconds.]
[4… 3…]
The barrier begins to crack.
[2…]
The cracks spread rapidly, threatening to shatter the shield.
I channel every last drop of mana—pushing beyond the limit.
"AAAAH! COME ON! SHOW ME WHAT I'M WAITING FOR! I DIDN'T COME HERE TO FOLLOW COMMON SENSE—I AM THE DEFINITION OF FREEDOM AND POWER! I DEFY ALL AND BREAK THROUGH ALL OBSTACLES!"
[1… Fusion Complete.]

World Defier (Peak Legend Realm)
[Sora has advanced to Legend Realm.]
I glance at my gains and grin wide.
With a victorious fist raised to the sky—my body finally succumbs to exhaustion, and I faint on my feet.
