"…Hey… aren't those last two titles a bit too much?"
{Ding! Host, the title Anomaly is something you were born with. From my observation, it existed even before your reincarnation.}
{Ding! As for Rule Breaker, it is because you have already broken this world's fundamental limit—the SSS-rank cap on talents.}
{Ding! Normally, such a limit could only be bypassed after obtaining EX-rank rewards through multiple sign-ins…}
{Ding! But you… achieved it before your very first login.}
"…So I'm just built different, huh?"
{Ding! …}
{Ding! Every login reward is random. Even the Newbie Package you received was random.}
{Ding! At this point, I am considering revoking your luck advantage and limiting your future rewards.}
"Hey! You can't do that!"
{Ding! …I can.}
"…You're definitely doing this on purpose."
"…Wait. You said everyone has Akashic Records, right? Then why has no one ever heard of them?"
{Ding! Host, to access even the lowest version of the Akashic Records, one must first reach SSS rank.}
{Ding! Additionally, the world itself must be of at least mid-tier classification.}
{Ding! This world is technically mid-tier, but its limits are currently suppressed to that of a low-tier world.}
{Ding! As a result, the Akashic Records are neither accessible nor known here.}
"…I see…"
"…Whatever. Today has been ridiculous."
"I died… got reincarnated… regained my memories…"
"And now I have a system and cosmic records…"
"…Even without my past memories, my life was already a mess."
"…Now it's just insane."
"…Whatever."
"Hey—login."
"…Did you not hear me?"
"Daily login."
{Ding! Daily Sign-In successful.}
{Ding! Congratulations! You have received:}
{— Item: Live Dungeon Map}
"…A Live Dungeon Map?"
"What does it do?"
{Ding! Live Dungeon Map: Allows the host to view all currently known and unknown dungeon locations across the world in real time.}
"…Wait…"
"…All dungeons?"
{Ding! Yes, Host. All dungeons. Best way to grow stronger.}
"…Then why isn't my profile showing my new talents?"
{Ding! Host, you must claim your rewards first.}
"…Alright… claim rewards."
{Ding! Claiming rewards…}
{Ding! Integrating talents and skills…}{Ding! Integration in progress…}
"Huh…?"
"AAAGH—!!"
Kael's body trembled violently as a burning sensation spread through him.
"Ghh—! Huff… huff…!"
"What the hell was that…?!"
"Why did my eyes feel like they were burning… and my whole body too…?!"
{Ding! Integration successful.}
{Ding! Host, say "Status" to view your current progress and skills.}
{Ding! It is similar to the Akashic Records, but only accessible to the Host.}
"…Status."

"Man… these talents are really something…"
"…But that was fucking painful."
"So… where's the map?"
{Ding! The map is integrated into the system. Simply think to view it.}
"…Oh."
"Okay… first things first—I need to grow stronger."
"And second… I need to join an academy or a guild…"
"But which one should I choose?"
"Hey, System—any help?"
{Ding! Host… are you seriously asking me?}
"…Tch."
"…Fine, let's think."
"Maybe I should just aim for the best…"
"The academy owned by the strongest person alive…"
"Celestial Wing Academy."
{Ding! Host, I think you should begin training first.}
"Yes, yes, I know…"
"But I need a goal first."
"…Why am I even training right now?"
{Ding! Your goal should be to surpass all beings across every cosmos. What kind of pitiful dream are you even imagining?}
"Hey! Don't say it like that!"
"…And for now, I can't just jump to 'cosmos-level'."
"First, I become the strongest in my generation…"
"Then the world…"
"And only then… other worlds."
"…Right?"
"…Anyway, if I remember correctly, academy entrance exams are in two months."
"So I have two months to train."
"…Dungeon Map."
A translucent map appeared in his mind.
"…Ranks: F, E, D, C, B, A, S…"
"…Alright. An E-rank dungeon should be enough to start."
"System, what do you think?"
{Ding! Host, that decision is yours—not mine.}
"…Yeah, figures."
"…Alright. I choose this one."
"Goblin Den — E Rank."
"…Near the border of the city… Luana Mountain."
"…First, I should register for the entrance exam."
"Then I'll head out."
A few minutes later…
"…Where is it…"
"…189 meters away…"
"…Ah—there. That cave."
"…This is it."
"…Here goes nothing."
Swoosh!
Kael stepped inside.
Outside the cave…
"…The target has entered the dungeon."
"…Hmm. The dungeon… has evolved."
"…S-rank."
"…The gate has turned red."
"…It won't open unless the dungeon is cleared… or the one inside dies."
"…Wait here."
"If he comes out, report immediately."
"And if he doesn't…"
"…Make sure he's dead."
"Hah… do you really think a rankless nobody can survive an S-rank dungeon?"
"Don't forget—his talent is 'Luck.'"
"So what? It's unranked."
"…Just follow orders."
"…Alright, alright. I'll make sure he's dead."
Inside the dungeon…
As Kael stepped forward—
{Ding! Host has entered a dungeon.}
{Ding! Warning… anomaly detected.}
{Ding! Dungeon rank recalculating…}
{Ding! Current Dungeon Rank: SSS}
Kael: "…"
"…What?"
