Ace found himself standing in the midst of an otherworldly space, encircled by shelves that seemed to coil in on themselves. Each of these shelves held volumes of knowledge from sources beyond human comprehension.

The sensation of this peculiar dimension both fascinated and unsettled him, yet his focus remained fixed on the floating book before him.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Ace reached out to touch the book. As his hand made contact with the ancient pages, a jolt coursed through his being, as if the book itself were awakening him.Clear and authoritative words formed both in his mind and the book:

"Congratulations, Inheritor. You have been given a chance that many would have sold their souls for. Make the most of it and fulfill your destiny," the message conveyed.

Ace's heart raced with a sense of purpose, though the cryptic message left him with more questions than answers. Eager to uncover the next revelation, he hesitated for a moment before flipping the page. The book's pages turned effortlessly, as if guided by some unseen force, revealing a series of symbols and diagrams that danced before his eyes, defining his status page.

Equipment/Items: [Blank]

Skills: [Blank]

Store: [Locked]

Ace felt a surge of knowledge flooding into his consciousness, containing information about how his Skills/Abilities, Stats, and Attributes worked.

Essentially, his Attributes were divided into a six-tier system, with his Stats corresponding to them.

Tiers (1-100):

[Mortal]

[Awakened]

[Enlightened]

[Ascendant]

[Divine]

[Transcendent]

While his Abilities were ranked on the basis of their potential:

[Common]

[Uncommon]

[Rare[Epic]

[Exquisite]

[Legendary]

[Transcendent]

Skills were ranked based on Proficiency, with 100% skill proficiency being the maximum.

While the Store was currently locked, he still gleaned some information about how it worked. It was able to translate the illusory to reality, providing countless abilities or skills from long-lost civilizations with its illusory-to-reality ability.

Ace still felt a bit muddled because of the transfer of knowledge; it was so strange and bizarre that he felt like he was born with this knowledge and had always possessed it from the beginning.

But the most exciting part of it was the information about the library itself. This library was the crystallization of every story or dream written or thought about in the universe, as well as those yet to be written. It allowed him to travel to the second dimension, which was full of fictional stories not only restricted to human-made fiction but also from throughout the universe.

Finally, after some time and clearing his head of the excitement, he looked at his status page on the book, noticing the ability he gained during his travels that let him see the countless dead civilizations.

"So it is called Ethereal Insight," Ace mused. He was happy that he gained such a useful and overpowered ability of Legendary rank at the start of his journey but frowned upon discovering that most of his sub-abilities, other than intuition and aura seeing, couldn't be used currently.

Upon going through the knowledge about how abilities worked, he learned that his State of Existence was too low to use the ability at half capacity.

A little disappointed but not dwelling on it, he moved on to think about where to go from now. He had been an ordinary human, oblivious to the vastness of the universe, living a mundane and normal life on Earth. He never expected such a divine opportunity to be given to him.

He now stood at the threshold of a cosmic adventure with countless abilities and skills in his repertoire to be gained, with some so powerful that they could reshape someone's understanding of reality.

And if he still lived a normal life after gaining such an opportunity, he would be nothing but a waste of space in the world. So he vowed to himself to become someone great, not to bring shame to this library by being its inheritor.

Finally completing his inner monologue to gain some self-motivation, he looked into the Dimension Diving Function.

This function created an avatar of himself and reduced its dimensions to 2D. After that, it would start connecting one's consciousness to its Avatar until they both coexisted at the same time, with one mind being in control. It was fascinating to know that something as otherworldly as this could be done.

"So, which world should I choose?" Ace thought. But after some time, he smiled, coming to the decision of which world he would go to.

He started walking to the depths of the library, surrounded by shelves with all kinds of otherworldly books, or rather, 2D worlds, excitedly awaiting the start of his adventure.
