Lucas stood in front of the glowing crystal.
His hand remained against its surface.
The room was completely silent.
Then the system spoke.
[CLASS AWAKENING]
[Awakener recognized.]
[Rank: D]
[Level: 17]
[Ability: Boost Breaker]
[Analyzing compatibility…]
The crystal became brighter.
Lucas narrowed his eyes.
Energy began moving through the room.
Something was happening.
[Analyzing physical attributes…]
[Analyzing awakened ability…]
[Analyzing combat history…]
[Analyzing potential…]
The system suddenly stopped.
[ERROR]
Lucas frowned.
“Again?”
The crystal flickered.
[UNIDENTIFIED COMPATIBILITY DETECTED]
[RECALCULATING…]
Lucas remained still.
He knew something was wrong.
The Class Awakening Facility had existed for generations.
Millions of Awakeners had used facilities like this.
The system should have been able to analyze him without difficulty.
But Lucas wasn’t a normal Awakener.
The crystal suddenly flashed.
[COMPATIBLE CLASS FOUND]
[CLASS: LIMIT BREAKER]
Lucas’s eyes widened.
“Limit Breaker.”
He had never heard of the class in his first life.
That alone made him suspicious.
Another notification appeared.
[CLASS RARITY]
[ABOVE ALL]
Lucas froze.
For several seconds, he didn’t move.
“Above All?”
The words didn’t make sense.
He had never heard of that rarity.
Not in his first life.
Not from the strongest guilds.
Not from the government.
Not from the strongest Awakeners.
Not even from the gods.
There had always been classifications for classes.
Common.
Rare.
Epic.
Legendary.
And rarities beyond what normal people could obtain.
But Above All wasn’t one of them.
It wasn’t simply a higher rarity.
It was something that shouldn’t exist.
The system continued.
[CLASS RARITY: ABOVE ALL]
[Historical Records: NONE]
[Previous Users: NONE]
[Current User: LUCAS]
Lucas stared at the screen.
No previous users.
Not one.
Then another line appeared.
[EXISTENCE RECORD SEARCH]
[Searching all known timelines…]
Lucas’s expression changed.
[Searching all known realities…]
The crystal became brighter.
[Searching all dimensions…]
The room began filling with energy.
[Searching all universes…]
Lucas stared at the notification.
The system continued.
[Searching all recorded existences…]
Then—
[RESULT: NONE]
Lucas’s eyes widened.
[NO PREVIOUS USER DETECTED]
[NO CURRENT USER DETECTED]
[NO ALTERNATE USER DETECTED]
[NO OTHER EXISTENCE DETECTED]
Lucas’s breathing slowed.
The system displayed one final statement.
[CLASS RARITY “ABOVE ALL” IS UNIQUE TO LUCAS]
Lucas stared at the words.
He finally understood.
This wasn’t simply the rarest class.
It wasn’t a class that only a handful of people could possess.
It wasn’t something that had existed before.
It was completely unique.
Across every timeline.
Every reality.
Every dimension.
Every universe.
Every possible existence.
Nobody had ever possessed it.
Nobody else would.
Lucas looked down at his hand.
“What exactly are you?”
The system didn’t answer.
Instead, another notification appeared.
[CLASS SKILLS GENERATING]
Lucas waited.
One was common.
Two was uncommon.
Three was extremely rare.
Three was the highest known limit.
The first skill appeared.
[CLASS SKILL 1]
[LIMIT OVERDRIVE]
[Temporarily increases physical attributes and awakened power beyond normal output.]
Lucas nodded.
That made sense.
It fit the class perfectly.
The second skill appeared.
[CLASS SKILL 2]
[PERFECT CONVERSION]
[Reduces energy loss when converting awakened energy into physical power and ability output.]
Lucas’s eyes narrowed.
That was extremely useful.
Boost Breaker consumed energy when enhancing his body.
Perfect Conversion would allow him to use that energy much more efficiently.
Then the third skill appeared.
[CLASS SKILL 3]
[LIMIT ADAPTATION]
[The user’s body gradually adapts to repeated strain caused by awakened abilities.]
Lucas stared at the skill.
That was exactly what he needed.
Break Limit had always placed tremendous strain on his body.
If his body could adapt to that strain, he would eventually be able to use the ability at a much higher level.
Lucas waited for the class awakening to finish.
But the crystal didn’t stop.
Lucas frowned.
“What?”
The system remained active.
[CLASS SKILL GENERATION CONTINUING]
Lucas’s expression changed.
“Continuing?”
Then—
[ABNORMALITY DETECTED]
[CLASS SKILL LIMIT EXCEEDED]
Lucas froze.
The system continued.
[STANDARD CLASS SKILLS: 1–3]
[CURRENT CLASS SKILLS: 4]
Lucas stared at the notification.
Four.
Another skill appeared.
[CLASS SKILL 4]
[NAME: ???]
[STATUS: LOCKED]
[EFFECT: UNKNOWN]
Lucas didn’t move.
The room became completely silent.
Four class skills.
That had never happened before.
Not once.
Lucas remembered everything he had learned in his first life.
The strongest humans.
The strongest monsters.
The gods.
The beings that existed beyond humanity.
Even the god who had eventually killed him.
They had all possessed incredible powers.
But none of them had ever possessed more than three class skills.
Three was the limit.
At least, that was what Lucas had always believed.
But now—
He had four.
Lucas looked at the system.
[CLASS AWAKENING COMPLETE]
[CLASS: LIMIT BREAKER]
[CLASS RARITY: ABOVE ALL]
[CLASS SKILLS: 4]
[1.
LIMIT OVERDRIVE]
[2.
PERFECT CONVERSION]
[3.
LIMIT ADAPTATION]
[4.
???]
Lucas slowly removed his hand from the crystal.
The light began fading.
He opened his status.
[STATUS]
Name: Lucas
Level: 17
Rank: D
Class: Limit Breaker
Class Rarity: Above All
Ability: Boost Breaker
Hidden Ability: Time Manipulation
Lucas stared at the class.
Then he opened his detailed stats.
[DETAILED STATUS]
Strength: 86
Speed: 82
Defense: 74
Vitality: 79
Energy: 91
Recovery: 76
Control: 100
Sense: 84
A notification appeared.
[CLASS EFFECT ACTIVATED]
[Physical Growth Increased]
[Energy Efficiency Increased]
[Recovery Increased]
[Ability Output Increased]
The numbers began changing.
[Speed: 101]
[Defense: 91]
[Vitality: 96]
[Energy: 112]
[Recovery: 94]
[Control: 108]
[Sense: 103]
Lucas stared at the new numbers.
He was already far stronger than the average D-Rank Level 17 Awakener.
Now the difference was even greater.
Lucas opened another window.
[AVERAGE D-RANK LEVEL 17 AWAKENER]
Strength: 51
Speed: 48
Defense: 46
Vitality: 49
Energy: 53
Recovery: 45
Control: 50
Sense: 47
Lucas looked between the two sets of numbers.
The difference was ridiculous.
And this was before he had properly mastered his new class.
Lucas smiled.
“Above All.”
He still didn’t understand what it meant.
But he knew one thing.
This wasn’t normal.
He activated Limit Overdrive.
Power surged through his body.
His muscles tightened.
His senses sharpened.
His energy output increased.
But unlike Break Limit, the strain was much more manageable.
Perfect Conversion reduced wasted energy.
Limit Adaptation helped his body handle the increased pressure.
Lucas deactivated the skill.
He didn’t want to damage the facility.
Then he looked at the fourth skill.
[CLASS SKILL 4]
[NAME: ???]
[STATUS: LOCKED]
[REQUIREMENT: UNKNOWN]
Lucas frowned.
“So even the system doesn’t know.”
The question marks remained.
Lucas thought about his first life.
He had spent years searching for answers.
He had fought monsters.
He had entered countless dungeons.
He had encountered beings far beyond humanity.
He had eventually fought a god.
And even that god had only possessed three class skills.
Three.
But Lucas had four.
More importantly—
His class wasn’t Legendary.
It wasn’t Mythical.
It wasn’t Divine.
It wasn’t Celestial.
It wasn’t Cosmic.
It wasn’t anything Lucas had ever heard of.
It was simply—
Above All.
Lucas looked at the crystal.
For the first time since returning to the past, he felt something close to fear.
Not fear of an enemy.
Fear of himself.
Because if this class existed only for him across every possible timeline and reality…
Then there had to be a reason.
Lucas closed his status window.
Nobody could know.
Not the government.
Not the academy.
Not the guilds.
Not his classmates.
And definitely not the gods.
He would keep the class hidden for as long as possible.
Lucas turned toward the exit.
He had entered the facility as a D-Rank Level 17 Awakener with no class.
He was leaving as the only being in existence with an Above All class.
Three known class skills.
One unknown class skill.
And a future that was becoming more different from his first life every day.
Lucas reached the doors.
Before he stepped outside, one final notification appeared.
[CLASS RARITY: ABOVE ALL]
[UNIQUE EXISTENCE CONFIRMED]
[NO OTHER HOLDER EXISTS]
[NO OTHER HOLDER EXISTS IN ANY TIMELINE]
[NO OTHER HOLDER EXISTS IN ANY REALITY]
[NO OTHER HOLDER EXISTS IN ANY DIMENSION]
[NO OTHER HOLDER EXISTS IN ANY UNIVERSE]
[NO OTHER HOLDER EXISTS IN ANY FORM OF EXISTENCE]
Lucas stared at the final message.
Then he smiled.
“So I’m really the first.”
He stepped through the doors.
The doors closed behind him.
Lucas walked down the hallway.
He didn’t know what his fourth skill would eventually become.
He didn’t know why Above All existed.
He didn’t know why Boost Breaker had chosen him.
But he would find out.
One mystery at a time.
One quest at a time.
One rank at a time.
And eventually—
Lucas would discover why he was the only being in all of existence who could possess something called Above All.
