Alex sat on a rock with a dark expression.

One of the reasons he had entered Nyxare was to obtain the Infinity Mage main class.

It was a hidden mage class that would have allowed him to use any type of magic.

Even though everyone could obtain affinities, there was a limit to their number, and Infinity Mage removed that very limit.

But now he could no longer have that class.

A defeated smile appeared on his face, and he mumbled, "What’s the point of having all the knowledge if existence itself denies me from using it?"

In the space before him, floated his status screen.

His eyes stopped at the Main Class.

"How disappointing..." He let out a heavy sigh and focused on the changes.

[Primum Horrendi (First of the Horrible)]

[Title description: The first terrible being to exist beyond the classification of existence.]

Seeing the word ’Terrible’ once again, Alex scowled, "Why is it treating me like I am some kind of monster? How detestable."

He stared at it for a long while and then moved further down.

[Prime Paradox]

[Description: An existence unchained and unbound from all laws and concepts.]

"Huh? That doesn’t make sense," He mumbled and added with a deep frown, "If I am unaffected by all the laws and concepts, how am I able to use and interact with the system? How am I still alive, even?"

Right after he said those words, he realised something.

His expression turned grave, and he whispered in a bitter tone, "Maybe I am just so weak that even though I am free of them... They are still able to hold me."

Although it was a sound conclusion, he couldn’t be sure whether it was true or not.

With the existence itself unfolding before his eyes, Alex focused further.

"A trait..." he mumbled.

He knew that Traits were extremely rare and sought out because they were no different than obtainable talents.

As not everyone awakened a talent, Talentless Players who managed to achieve good enough strength during the tutorial used everything in their arsenal to obtain a trait afterward.

And Alex had simply obtained it by doing nothing. Even he knew how unfair it was, but...

It’s not like I had a say in this.

[All and None]

[Grade: Ω]

[Description: As Prime Paradox, you possess no fixed nature, yet may inherit all natures. You belong to nothing, and therefore nothing may fully claim you. You are everything, yet nothing.

Effects:

• Regardless of your Main or Sub Class, you may join any of the quests.

• Regardless of your Main or Sub Class, you may learn any skill.

• You have no limits, whether they be physical, spiritual, conceptual, or informative.

• You have no fixed designation.]

Alex blinked a few times and muttered with a dumbfounded look, "What is this philosophical bullshit? Does it think I am Aristotle, Plato, or Socrates?"

He slammed his fist into the rock, cracks spread across it, and he growled, "Everything’s already so confusing, and this is the time it decides to act like a damned sage."

For a few long minutes, he glared at the screen and then took a deep breath. "Haah... Calm down..."

Finally, he looked at the glaring disparity.

"What is that grade? I believe that’s Omega... is it a rank above SSS?" he surmised.

The original story hadn’t even left its SSS-Rank shell by the ending, so he didn’t know if ’Ω’ was the grade afterward.

"Isn’t it SSS+, Ex, or X most of the time?" He complained and made the decision to just not think about anything confusing.

"So this trait simply allows me to do anything... It’s obviously way more broken than Infinity Mage, but I have no information or knowledge of it."

Although Alex felt extremely gleeful, he was also greatly stressed. The hopelessness and fear that he had felt from Origin Dominion had put his weakness bare.

"It’s one of the absolute laws after all," he whispered and jumped from the rock.

The day had already reached twilight, and he was not in the mood to stay the night in the forest.

He stepped inside his shadow and streaked towards Nyxare.

Despite losing the Shadow Slave class, [Shadow Movement] and [Shadow Eyes] were still there, which he believed was because of [All and None]

If he could learn any skill, there was no predicament with his skills staying even after their source was removed.

With a few minutes, he reached the city and made his way toward Rodric’s Pen.

Maybe I should call it Lightbearers’ base now...

Lightbearers was the name Allura One had given to her small army, and she was already spreading her influence throughout the city.

According to the little bits he had chanced to hear, instead of farming beasts, Lightbearers were completing the major quest: freedom by finishing guild missions.

Usually, no guild would give missions to slaves, but because of their sheer number and with her smarts, Allura had managed to do so.

Or maybe she just gave them all the money Rodric had cultivated by selling slaves....

He didn’t know how she had done it, and that didn’t matter. What mattered was that he needed their help to find the Seed of Darkness.

He blitzed through Nyxare’s dark streets and soon reached Lightbearers’ base.

After moving to a relatively concealed spot, he stepped out of his shadow and walked toward the building’s gates.

"Why do I feel like I am about to get into something problematic?" He mumbled with a frown and shrugged, "Maybe I’m just being unnecessarily paranoid."
