The presence of Ryūjin Jakka did not erupt.
It did not rage.
It simply existed.
Even sealed within storage, its authority leaked—not as heat, but as concept.
Fire not as flame…
but as ending.
Adaptation to Fire Authority
Alexander slept.
And while he slept, his body responded.
Not consciously.
Not forcefully.
Naturally.
The fire authority brushed against his soul—and instead of resisting, Alexander's essence adjusted its structure.
His spiritual channels reinforced against thermal authority His elemental core gained resistance to extreme combustion His phoenix bloodline resonated faintly, recognizing Ryūjin Jakka as kin-adjacent fire
No burns.
No instability.
Only slow, perfect adaptation.
Great Sage:
Observation:
Host exhibits exceptionally high compatibility with extreme fire-based authorities.
Cause: Phoenix-origin essence + Dark Flame affinity.
Analyzing Ryūjin Jakka
Within the mindscape, Great Sage continued.
Great Sage:
Ryūjin Jakka compatibility analysis complete.
Status: Dormant — Safe to store.
Synchronization potential: Extremely high upon host's awakening.
Risk if unsealed prematurely: Catastrophic environmental damage.*
Alexander remained calm.
So… not yet.
Great Sage:
Correct. Current biological age and soul-output insufficient.
Recommendation: long-term sealing.
Understood.
The Days That Followed
Time passed quietly.
Alexander never missed a sign-in.
Rewards accumulated steadily:
Gold Diamonds Rare Candy Mystic Enhancement Ore Poké Balls Kunai Senzu Beans Adepti Milk (Genshin Impact) Uru Metal
All were stored carefully.
Great Sage:
Uru Metal confirmed.
Highly compatible with divine-grade weapon forging.
Alexander approved.
The Mystic Enhancement Ore joined it—waiting for the day a weapon would be born.
Nourishment of the Soul
Alexander drank the Adepti Milk regularly.
Warm. Smooth. Deeply nourishing.
As it flowed through him, he felt it clearly—
Spiritual energy stabilized Elemental affinity sharpened Soul fatigue reduced to zero
This is good, he thought contentedly.
Not just food.
Foundation.
One Month
On the night of his one-month sign-in, the palace was silent.
Thor slept loudly.
Loki dreamed quietly.
Alexander focused inward.
Sign in.
The Reward That Stunned Him
System Notice:
Congratulations to the host on completing 1 Month Sign-In.
The pause that followed felt deliberate.
System Reward:
Eye of God (Water) — Genshin Impact
Alexander's thoughts stopped.
…A Gnosis-level divine focus.
Even inactive, the artifact radiated pure elemental authority.
Great Sage:
Advisory:
If Predator is used at this time, no Unique or Ultimate Skill will be generated.
Alexander steadied himself.
Why?
Great Sage:
Host has not yet awakened divine authority.
Premature absorption would result in incomplete assimilation.
There was a brief pause.
Great Sage:
However—
If absorbed after awakening, the Eye of God will grant an Ultimate Skill.
Alexander didn't hesitate.
Store it.
The Eye of God vanished into storage—sealed, untouched, waiting for the right moment.
A Content Sleep
Alexander relaxed fully for the first time in days.
No urgency.
No recklessness.
Only patience.
He slept peacefully that night—
a baby holding no weapon,
wielding no power,
yet quietly gathering the tools of gods.
Unseen by the cosmos.
Shielded by Yggdrasil.
Watched by wisdom itself.
And somewhere deep within him—
fire waited,
water waited,
and a phoenix waited to rise.
