Chapter 7 - Upgrading Creation Skill to Super Rare Tier
—————————————————————
And that's how my day ended... it was really exhausting. Ahh... my eyes are closing...
...
—————————————————————
5 Months and 18 Days Later
June 20, Year 19909 – 11:59 PM
I was waiting impatiently for midnight to strike.
Today was the day I'd finally upgrade my 『Infinite Creation Art』skill to the Super Rare Tier.
> [Ding...
Energy Gained Today: +88.07
Current Energy: 10,000 / 10,000
Threshold Reached!]
"System, upgrade 『Infinite Creation Art』 to Super Rare Tier," I said without hesitation.
I'd been waiting far too long for this moment.

Skill Upgrade Successfully Completed!]
Skill: Infinite Creation Art
Tier: Rare → Super Rare
Type: Passive / Active
Description:
Capacity: [10,000 / 10,000] → [100,000 / 0] Energy
Every 24 hours, 88.07 → 97.87 Energy is gained.
This Energy can be used to create skills, equipment, or any kind of construct.
There is a 10x Energy gap between each tier—except the final tier after Ultimate Celestial, which has an infinite multiplier of 100,000x.
Tier Hierarchy:
Common = 10 Energy
Uncommon = 100 Energy
Rare = 1,000 Energy
Super Rare = 10,000 Energy
Legendary = 100,000 Energy
Ultra Epic = 1,000,000 Energy
Legendary = 10,000,000 Energy
Ultra Legendary = 100,000,000 Energy
Super Legendary = 1B Energy
Mysterious = 10B Energy
Ultra Mysterious = 100B Energy
Super Mysterious = 1T Energy
Ancient = 10T Energy
Transcendent = 100T Energy
Ultimate = 1Qd Energy
Semi-Divine = 10Qd Energy
Divine = 100Qd Energy
Semi-God = 1Qn Energy
God = 10Qn Energy
Ancient God = 100Qn Energy
Transcendent God = 1Sx Energy
Semi-Celestial = 10Sx Energy
Celestial = 100Sx Energy
Ancient Celestial = 1Sp Energy
Transcendent Celestial = 10Sp Energy
Ultimate Celestial = 100Sp Energy
Infinity = 1N Energy
This ability can evolve its own tier using Energy, or merge its level with other creations.
Each level-up multiplies Energy Capacity by 10, while Daily Energy Gain increases by 10%.
Every three levels, an additional zero is added to the percentage increase—meaning that at Ultra Epic, it increases by 100%, and at Super Legendary, it skyrockets to 1,000%.]
Finally... the skill had reached Super Rare Tier.
With the 10% increase in Energy gain, I could now create almost one Uncommon Skill every single day.

3.8%... meaning fifteen more days.
In just fifteen days, I'll step into the Silver Tier—and I'm only one and a half years old, hahaha.
Still, there's a long road ahead. I can't rush things, and my energy reserves are completely empty. All I can do now is wait.
So, I decided to spend the evening with my family.
After gathering them in the living room, I sat down and said calmly,
"In fifteen days, I'll reach the Silver Tier."
Their expressions shifted instantly—shock, joy, and… a faint trace of sadness.
I knew why.
When I first reached the Bronze Tier at only three and a half months old, my body bled uncontrollably.
Mom spoke first, her voice soft but steady.
"If you truly believe in yourself, I'll help in any way I can."
I smiled. "Don't worry, Mom. Maybe my body will bleed this time too. But in this world, power is everything... and I'm prepared to pay the price for it."
For a moment, her eyes dimmed, and I could see the pain hidden behind her smile.
But I didn't ask. Not yet.
...
Fifteen Days Later – July 5
> [Mana Gathering: +0.000003%...]
[Mana Gathering: +0.000003%...]
[Ding...
Cultivation and Body Purification have reached 100%.
Silver Rank Awakening commencing.
Be prepared, User.]
"Ugh..."
A sharp, burning sensation coursed through my body—but this time, it wasn't nearly as painful as when I advanced to Bronze.
It must've been because of my growth phase.
The Mana was expanding my body, forcing every cell to adapt.
After all, no amount of Body Cultivation can make you twenty centimeters taller overnight.
My family had been ready this time.
They were still worried, of course, but not panicked. They'd already seen what happened before.
While the pain subsided, a thought crossed my mind.
Why does my family keep hiding their true identities?
If my mother really possesses a Healing skill, why doesn't she use it?
She always acts as if she has no power at all...
The Awakening lasted around thirty minutes—neither long nor short.
When it finally ended, my father sighed in relief.
"It seems like it went much smoother this time," he said.
Mom looked at me, her expression gentle yet anxious.
"Kael... please be careful. Even if I can't stop you, please... don't push yourself too far."
It was clear that my first awakening had left a scar—not just on me, but on her heart.
"Don't worry, Mom. Don't worry, Dad. I know my limits."
I smiled, trying to reassure them.
...
After a long bath, I returned to my room, sat on my bed, and muttered,
"System, open my Status."

"Is the limit for the Silver Tier… 1,999 points?" I muttered, staring at the glowing numbers before me.
"That's… completely impossible for ordinary people to fill."
In truth, the Gold Tier limit was 4,999 stat points.
The Diamond Tier? 74,999.
Reaching even one of those thresholds was something most could never dream of.
But I wasn't ordinary.
Still, the growth rate of my stats wasn't enough. The "Order" skill needed an upgrade—badly. Three stat points per day simply wouldn't cut it.
If I could increase that output sixfold, or even ninefold, I could reach 1,999 [MAX] far sooner.
"System, show me the 'Infinite Creation Art' skill."

"Alright," I exhaled. "That gives me 1,536 Energy to work with. Let's upgrade Order."

I blinked. "Four times stronger... I was expecting two, maybe three. This is even better."
But even then—it wasn't enough.
"At this rate, even with four times the efficiency, it'll still take months," I murmured, rubbing my chin. "I get 12 stat points daily—4 for each attribute. It'll take... about 11 and a half months to reach [MAX]."
Still, progress was progress.
And right now, the best training I could do was with my father.

Understanding of Emperor's Sword Intent (Lowest Level): 0.3%
Minimum requirement to infuse sword with intent: 1%.]
0.3%... The lowest possible level.
But it didn't bother me.
Once I reached even 1%, my sword attacks would deal eleven times more damage—
(Base 100% + Bonus 1,000% = 1,100% total).
Fifteen days of training had already brought me this far.
At this pace, I could reach 1% understanding within one to two months.
Not bad... steady progress, I thought, gripping the hilt of my practice sword.
For now, all I could do was continue training with Father—
and wait until my Energy reached 1,000 again.
...
Three days later.
My mornings followed the same pattern.
I woke up at 8 a.m., used the bathroom, washed my hands and face, then went straight to the kitchen to greet my family.
We'd chat casually over breakfast, and once we finished eating, I helped Mom wash the dishes.
Afterward, I took a short walk outside. The cool morning breeze brushed against my face, carrying the fresh scent of the forest and the chirping of distant birds.
Back on my old world, moments like this were rare—almost forgotten.
By 9 a.m., Father and I would begin our sword practice. Our sessions lasted until noon—three hours of intense training, refinement, and control.
Father's work usually started at one in the afternoon, but if an emergency came up, he'd rush out immediately. After all, in his line of work, lives were always on the line.
After that, we go into the bathroom together and clean up; after all, standing around drenched in sweat isn't exactly pleasant.
After seeing my dad off with my mom, I usually read for about two or three hours—after all, there isn't much else to do on this planet. Ahh… I really miss the phones on my old world.
When I finish reading around 2 or 3 p.m., I either take a nap and think about what I need to do next, or I go for a walk and sort through my thoughts.
After all, wasting my limited Energy recklessly would be foolish. But today, I already know what I'll upgrade.
Skill: 『Core and Body Purification Assessment.』
Yes—this time, not 『Fire Magic,』and not the Common Tier 『Limit.』
Even though this assessment might seem useless, it's actually essential for me. I need to understand how much progress I have left before advancing to the next Level.

Great. My progress this week was truly solid.
But after advancing from Bronze to Silver Tier, I noticed something troublesome—the Mana required to reach Gold Tier has increased by 10× once again.
So now, my advancement rate has dropped from 0.000003%/s → 0.0000003%/s.
That means my daily passive Mana gain toward the next Tier is only 0.02592%.
In other words… I'll need 3,854 days, or roughly 10.5 years, to reach the Gold Tier at this rate.
Still, that's enough progress for today.
I'll start saving Energy—10,000, to be exact—and once I have it, I'll upgrade my Energy skill to Super Rare Tier.
Then… I'll deal with everything else that comes after.
