The dungeon reset again.
But this time, Suho didn't smile.
He *feared.*
He feared his own army.
The skeletons — once brittle and dumb — now moved with purpose.
They followed orders before he even gave them.
And some of them... had started to look *alive.*
---
Suho stood before the corpse of the **Skeleton Queen**.
A towering, regal frame of bones and faint purple mist.
"...Let's see if this works."
He raised his hand, dark mana flickering at his fingertips.
> [Necromancy Level Too Low]
> [Unable to Awaken Target of High Resistance]
"Tch… fine," Suho muttered. "I'll come back when I level up."
He turned to leave — but something else caught his eye.
A faint glow above the heads of his three strongest subordinates:
The First Skeleton Goblin, the First Skeleton Warrior, and the First Skeleton Mage.
There was a new option hovering above them.
> [Name ?]
"What's this…?" Suho murmured.
He checked the others — Skeleton Troll, Archer, Minotaur — but nothing.
"Only these three… probably because they're the first ones I ever made."
He didn't know it yet, but **naming monsters** was a rare act.
A name was a spark of *selfhood.*
It gave them will — and power.
Suho smiled faintly.
"Alright then… you deserve names."
He pointed to the goblin skeleton. "You'll be **Miho.**"
Then to the warrior. "And you'll be **Veno.**"
Finally, to the mage. "Hmm… Hogwarts. That fits."
> [Miho has been named — Willpower +10]
> [Veno has been named — Power +15]
> [Hogwords has been named — Mana +20]
The skeletons trembled, blue flames burning brighter in their eye sockets.
Suho didn't realize it, but the dungeon itself shivered.
He combined his level-4 skeletons once again, and the cave shook with power.
Bones fused, swords gleamed with red aura, and even the mage skeleton began to mutter *incantations.*
Now, many of his skeletons could wield *aura and magic.*
They were evolving beyond their master.
---
Suho's curiosity led him somewhere unexpected — **holy power.**
He found old texts scattered near ruined chapels deep in the dungeon.
He read for days — about divine blessings, about gods who grant miracles to their faithful.
He prayed.
Day after day, he prayed until his knees bled.
But no god answered.
> [Skill — Ignored by Universal G…?? — (Passive) Activated]
"...Ignored?"
He stared at the faint blue window in disbelief.
Even the gods wouldn't look at him.
---
So he turned to forbidden knowledge again.
If gods wouldn't bless him… he'd steal their light instead.
He read about absorbing holy power from sacred relics — but he had none.
Then one day, Veno approached, carrying a pile of golden coins and broken chalices.
Soon, Miho and Hogwords followed, dragging relics, glass, and gilded idols.
"What… are you doing?" Suho frowned.
> [Skeletons are stunned — Faint Holy Power detected]
> [Player's devotion level is high from constant prayer]
> [Holy artifacts detected]
> [All conditions met — Player can now perceive Holy Power]
The room shimmered.
Suddenly, the air was *gold.*
Golden mist flowed out of every coin and relic.
It wrapped around Suho's body, humming with warmth.
For ten days, he meditated atop a mountain of gold.
The skeletons refused to approach — the light burned them.
On the eleventh day—
> [Holy Power Acquired]
> [Purity stat unlocked]
The golden light filled his veins.
His body glowed faintly. His once-dark mana now flickered with a holy hue.
And with every reset, he absorbed more — infinite relics, infinite power.
---
> [Level 27 reached]
> [Skill Unlocked — Inventory]
> [You can now store Items, Corpses, and Artifacts (Limited Capacity)]
He could finally *grow without limit.*
"Holy power doesn't depend on talent… this is it. My power to survive."
He was unstoppable.
His body healed faster, his senses sharpened, and even the Spider Queen — once a nightmare — fell before his radiant sword.
---
But then, everything changed.
The *three powers inside him* — dark mana, aura, and holy light — began to clash.
> [Error: Conflicting Energies Detected]
> [Warning: These powers cannot coexist]
> [Critical Instability!]
Pain tore through him like fire.
Suho screamed, clutching his chest, as golden and black flames burst from his body.
He stumbled into the safe room.
Inside, Healing slowly.
> [Holy Power is purifying your body...]
> [All other energies are being absorbed...]
> [Body is in critical condition]
his skeletons collapsing one by one, drained of their master's will.
Inside safe room, Suho lay dying.
His reflection in the safe room floor looked hollow — skin pale, eyes sunken.
He was fading.
But then… a thought struck him.
"If these powers had boundaries… they wouldn't consume each other."
He remembered his studies. Magic circles. Aura Formation stars.
Summoning all his strength, he raised one trembling finger and began to draw glowing runes across his back.
One circle for magic.
One for aura.
One for holy power.
Each etched in his flesh with his own mana.
He poured all his power into the circles — every drop.
Then the system broke.
> [Universal Achievement Unlocked]
> [You have made the Impossible Possible]
> [Title Gained: One Who Makes the Impossible Possible]
> [Skill "Ignored by Universal $#??" has evolved into an Authority]
> [Skill Points +10]
The safe room pulsed like a living heart.
His skeletons turned, staring. The air around Suho bent — even death seemed afraid.
When he finally opened his eyes, the golden, red, and black lights swirled together in harmony behind him — three faint circles orbiting like small suns.
Suho smiled in peace.
> [Aura stabilized through Holy Link]
> [Dark Magic contained via Sealed Circle]
> [Holy Power in full harmony]
Now, his strength didn't depend on talent.
Whenever one power grew, the others grew with it.
Yet... his combat growth was still slow.
No matter how far he pushed, something — *someone* — was still holding him back. his own talent.
