[Accomplished the Impossible Task! You have gained a unique title: <World Traveler>]
Eryke's eyes widened as the flood of notifications poured into his mind.
Destiny Point, the change in destiny that a person causes, this could either be good or bad, but it should be impactful enough. This is the only way to get stronger by the Awakeners except for when they first Awaken their skills!
But after the Awakener returned to Earth, their growth would stop as Destiny Points could no longer be accumulated.
"Eh?" Eryke took deep breaths to process his thoughts as he tremblingly looked at the panel before him.
He quickly used some of the Destiny Points to level up his talent.
[Congratulations! You have consumed one hundred thousand Destiny Points and directly leveled up <Clone> to level 2.]
[Your Clone has increased to 2, and you have gained the unique skill <Hive Mind>.]
"Hmm? Just leveling up a single time costs me one-tenth of my Destiny Points from coming back to the world?" Eryke frowned, then looked at his unique skill <Hive Mind>.
…
<Hive Mind>
Description: Allows the user to control multiple consciousnesses at the same time and filter only the necessary information to the main consciousness.
…
He was immediately satisfied when he saw this, as it didn't have a level.
"The difference between skills and unique skills might be that they don't have levels like normal skills."
Then he looked at his title <World Traveller>.
"Woah."
A new blue panel appeared in front of Eryke.
[Travel to Another World: 100,000 Destiny Points]
"Ho." Eryke sat in his chair, his hands trembling as he took an entire jug of water and splashed himself with it in disbelief.
Not only could he return to the world he had traveled to, but he could also visit other worlds and accumulate Destiny Points, creating an infinite loop of Destiny Points to strengthen himself.
After calming down, he opened the system and opened the [Shop] which was at the bottom of his status; his vision was immediately filled with four skills:
…
<Star Strike>: 500,000 Destiny Points
<Regeneration>: 5,000 Destiny Points
<Body Streghthening>: 5,000 Destiny Points
<Acceleration>: 10,000 Destiny Points
…
After thinking for a while, Eryke decided to go with the cheapest skill for now, he had plenty of Destiny Points to spare.

[Regeneration: 5,000 Destiny Points]
[Body Strengthening: 5,000 Destiny Points]

"Hmm, can I level it up?" Eryke's eyes lit up as he hovered over the Regeneration skill.
It might seem like a simple ability, but as a gamer, he understood its true value. If pushed far enough, maybe he could reach a level of regeneration where he could fully recover even from a single surviving cell.
Without hesitation, he began pouring points into the skill.
Level 1 Regeneration offered only a modest boost, it barely accelerated the body's natural healing. Even minor scratches still took hours to fade.
Eryke started to level up the skill again.
Level 2 cost 10,000 Destiny Points and granted instant recovery from surface wounds and scratches.
Level 3 required 20,000 Destiny Points, allowing him to heal knife wounds in just a few minutes.
Level 4 came at a steep 60,000 Destiny Points, but the reward was worth it. Eryke could now recover from even the deepest injuries. However, full limb regeneration was still beyond his reach, if a limb was severed, it wouldn't grow back at least that is what was stated.
To test it, Eryke picked up the kitchen knife lying in the corner of the table. He gulped nervously, raised the blade high into the air, and swung it down hard—cutting a deep gash across his hand. The knife clattered to the floor as he cried out in pain.
Blood poured from the wound, but after just a few minutes, the torn flesh began knitting itself back together. The injury healed completely, leaving his hand as pristine as before.
"Success," he grinned, his eyes shining with relief.
Eryke paused, then attempted to upgrade the skill further. But a pop-up appeared.
[Insufficient Requirement]
He frowned and tried increasing the level of Body Strengthening instead, but again, the same message appeared.
"Aren't Destiny Points the only requirement?" he muttered.
Although Awakener's information was public knowledge, he had never left his home and only had knowledge from the internet.
And as everyone knows, the internet is a hellhole of misinformation that can make people develop severe depression.
After checking out every feature of the shop, looking through it carefully, and calculating in his heart, Eryke finally summoned his clone again.
"I can't call you Eryke as well, that would be weird. Let's call you Eryke The First."
He nodded approvingly while scratching his chin, then sent the clone back to the other world.
Feeling the warm current flowing through his body, Eryke was motivated and started doing light push-ups. Before that car accident, he had been a national Olympic winner before the awakening. Now, sports existed only for the Awakeners.
Gritting his teeth, Eryke began training his body again, letting power flow through him.
Meanwhile, Eryke The First roamed the forest with curious eyes.

"I wonder which world this is."
There were many worlds Awakeners had traveled to, and some had been made public. Some were martial worlds, some were realms where gods lived, and many more.
Anything that could only be imagined in fantasy was a reality in the other world.
As he traveled through the forest, a small shadow watched him through surveillance.
The more he walked, the more shadows lurked in the trees, their gazes fixed on him.
At that moment, he heard strange noises coming from the bushes.
"What's there?" Eryke The First thought with vigilance, carefully stepping forward—only for a squirrel to leap out, scratch his face, let out a snicker, and dart away.
His brow twitched.
"Bastard."
Shh!
A snake's slithering hiss came as a green blur launched itself at him.
"Shit." He immediately rolled on the ground, barely dodging the attack.
"Huff, huff."
With his strengthened body, he managed to stand up and lunge at the snake, catching it by its jaws. But before he could do anything, a massive shadow loomed over his head.
Eryke The First looked up, his eyes widening in terror. A griffon the size of five people came diving down from the sky.
At the last moment, his life flashed before his eyes. Acting on instinct, he hurled the snake directly at the beast and dove into the bushes.
The griffon's eyes narrowed, but it made no sudden moves. Catching the snake in its claws, it swiftly flew away.
"Ho! Ha!" Eryke The First collapsed onto the ground. "This place is too dangerous—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a black shadow shot through the air, slicing through the wind with deadly precision. It struck his hand, pinning it to the tree beside him.
"Ahhh—!"
