Like being smacked by a 1,000-page medical textbook, Rian finally realized something trivial, yet crucial—something that had completely slipped his mind.
Thanks to the Six Eyes working in real-time, the truth hit him mercilessly.
Rian let out a long, heavy sigh, his gaze turning blank as he closed the Attribute Status panel.
He had planned for the next eight days to focus entirely on skincare.
But that plan was ruined. Even though Rian already possessed the Six Eyes and, in theory, the innate Limitless technique should have been automatically "installed" in his brain…
In reality, he still didn't truly know how to use it directly.
It was like learning to drive a car from the internet: memorizing all the theory. But the moment you try it in the real world—shift into reverse, and you crash into a pole.
Yet, amid the disappointment, a brilliant idea struck.
Rian immediately accessed the System Shop, purchasing advanced-level skincare equipment. Not forgetting, he also stocked up on several military rations and bottled water.
After purchasing the necessary items, with a newly forged determination, Rian stepped out of his house.
His destination: the Training House.
There, Rian would practice activating Limitless while taking care of his skin, staying for a full eight days.
With steady steps and a slightly resigned heart, Rian closed the door behind him.
***
Inside a room with walls of pure white in every direction—above, below, left, right, front, and back—Rian began setting up his training scenario, selecting sparring opponents and arranging the environment.
After a short journey that didn't take even a day, Rian finally arrived at the Training House and immediately rented it for the next eight days.
The cost: 800 System Points, not expensive for Rian, who still had a decent amount of points left.
The moment Rian pressed the "Agree" button, the empty space around him transformed drastically.
The blank room morphed into an open arena with brown earth underfoot, surrounded by towering white marble pillars marking the boundaries of the field.
Ten meters ahead of him stood a very familiar figure: a man with messy white hair, wearing a white shirt and a black suit. His piercing blue eyes locked onto Rian.
There was no mistake: Gojo Satoru.
Around the man, Rian could see faintly flickering energy particles, forming an invisible dome enveloping his body. For a moment, visual distortions resembling glitches appeared and vanished.
Rian stared at the sight with excitement.
"Oh… so this is what Infinity looks like, huh?" Rian murmured, eyes glinting. "Turns out it's not that complicated…"
"Then, I just need to learn Blue and Red, right? Better start with Blue first," Rian said with a confident smile. "Let's go, this handsome man is ready!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gojo Satoru vanished from where he stood and suddenly reappeared right in front of Rian.
BAM!
A sharp punch slammed into Rian's chest.
"Ugh… Khak!"
Blood spurted from his mouth, his breath halted momentarily, and the world around him spun. Pain radiated through him; all his ribs felt shattered.
But Gojo wasn't finished. His left hand grabbed Rian's shoulder, pulling him forward, and the next punch landed.
BUAK!
This time it wasn't an ordinary strike—it was a Blue attack, amplified by Cursed Energy.
Rian's chest was shattered, pierced all the way through to his back. Blood spattered across the brown training field, staining the ground.
Gojo Satoru released his grip from Rian's shoulder.
Rian collapsed to his knees. His eyes widened, blank, unable to believe what had just happened. Within seconds, he fell face-first onto the ground, motionless.
The surroundings instantly faded, replaced by a pristine, all-white simulation room.
In the center, Rian stood panting, one hand pressed against his chest, breathing heavily, sweat cooling along his temples. Although the damage was virtual, the sensation was strikingly real.
"Two hits…?" Rian murmured quietly, his expression a mix of disbelief and frustration.
"This handsome man went down from just two hits?" he muttered, recalling the moment vividly. "And yet I had already adjusted Gojo's strength to be equivalent."
Rian took a long, steadying breath, trying to calm his still-racing heart. His gaze fell to his right hand, trembling slightly from the lingering trauma.
"At least… this handsome man finally understands," he muttered softly. "The concept of Blue has finally entered my mind."
"According to the data, Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue is an advanced form of Limitless, a powerful extension technique passed down in the Gojo Clan," Rian murmured, his eyes still fixed on the palm of his hand.
Inside his mind, Rian reviewed the concept of Blue.
Blue is an extreme application of Limitless, where space is compressed to a point of infinite convergence, creating an effect akin to absolute void—a hole in the fabric of space itself.
The technique works by amplifying Limitless using negative Cursed Energy.
The result is a void that forces the surrounding world to 'correct' the imbalance, pulling all matter toward the designated central point.
However, Blue has a critical weakness: it is extremely difficult to control. The technique demands precise manipulation of energy.
Moreover, channeling large amounts of Cursed Energy continuously can drain the user's stamina at an alarming rate.
Driven by curiosity, Rian decided it was time to give it a try.
Rian raised his hand, summoning the Knight Killer from his Void Ring with a single thought. The blade dropped, clinking softly against the pristine white floor.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue," Rian murmured quietly, uttering the name of the technique as calmly as possible.
In an instant, within the range of his Limitless, Rian designated the Knight Killer as the target, using his right palm as the convergence point.
He created a scenario in which the world had to correct itself, producing a void that drew all matter toward the central point.
The Knight Killer, which had been lying on the floor, slowly rose and floated, eventually landing perfectly in Rian's right hand.
He took a deep breath, slightly fatigued. "So complicated, huh," he muttered softly. "Tricky, but not impossible."
Tilting his head, he wiped the thin layer of sweat from his temple. "Haiz… even the control has to be nearly perfect. Luckily, this handsome man adapts quickly. Otherwise… it could've been much more troublesome."
After exhaling once more, Rian gazed at the blade in his hand before returning it back into the Void Ring.
"Then… time to try Maximum Output," Rian said, his tone filled with curiosity.
"I'm curious… just how big is the output with only 23 INT points?" Rian thought, his curiosity slowly growing into a small obsession.
Without hesitation, Rian reset the simulation space of the Training House.
In an instant, the white room transformed into a wide open field with brown soil, surrounded by towering white marble pillars.
It was the same place where Rian had faced Gojo Satoru before.
This time, however, Gojo was nowhere to be seen. Standing before Rian was a large, sturdy wooden log—an ideal target to test the power of Maximum Output: Blue.
In the center of the simulation field, Rian raised his right hand.
"Phase."
"Twilight."
"Eyes of Wisdom."
"Cursed Technique Lapse—Maximum Cursed Energy Output: Blue."
Immediately, the air distorted. A bright blue sphere of energy appeared, spinning slowly yet exerting tremendous pressure.
Its diameter was about thirty centimeters—not too large, yet enough to make the wooden log in front of him tremble violently.
Within seconds, a cracking sound echoed. The ground beneath the log split, being drawn toward a single point along with the log itself.
"Only this much… but the effect is pretty decent," Rian murmured with a faint smile, his breath slightly heavy.
With a single, fluid yet precise motion, like a graceful dance, the bright blue sphere glided above the brown soil, tracing a curved path across the training field—beautiful yet deadly.
In a fraction of a second, the sphere struck one of the sturdy white marble pillars at the edge of the field.
BOOM!
A gaping hole formed at the point of impact. Cracks spread wildly across the pillar's surface like lightning streaks.
CRRAAAKK!
The pillar collapsed, shattering into rubble with a reverberating thud that shook the air. The debris was then drawn toward a single point of convergence.
Rian, his right hand still extended, guided the blue sphere as if manipulating a remote-controlled toy.
The sphere hovered for a moment before gradually vanishing as Rian cut off the energy supply. The marble pillar's rubble crumbled into dust, scattering across the ground.
Instantly, silence crept back in. Only the remnants of destruction remained, proof that something extraordinary had just occurred.
Rian collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, sweat dampening his temples. His face clearly reflected genuine exhaustion.
"So..." Rian murmured softly, "have I… reached my limit?"
