But the pain had not vanished.
A few hours passed.
Maya came and mocked him.
But Ank did not listen to anything she said.
He was still waiting for his body to recover.
At last, Maya left him alone.
Ank’s body was still aching.
But after another hour, the pain slowly started decreasing.
He moved toward the broken wall.
And picked up the book.
The book had now changed into a golden color.
Ank stared at it for a few moments.
Then took a deep breath.
“You have to open it.” “You can’t keep running away like this.” Ank motivated himself with those words.
Slowly, he looked at the cover once again.
Book of Everything.
One of the Primordial Artifacts.
The third and final book of the Primordial Book Trio.
First, Book of Nothing.
Second, Book of Anything.
Third, Book of Everything.
Each book possessed a different power yet all three shared the same purpose.
To make their user one of the most powerful beings in existence.
But for Ank…
The book seemed determined to make him suffer, drown him in despair, and strip away every last shred of pride until begging for mercy became his only remaining choice.
Slowly, he opened the first page.
The moment his eyes landed on it, he froze.
Nothing had changed.
The same status remained before him.
The same cruel truth.
Yet this time, he forced himself to read every word.
And there was still one month left before the countdown ended.

Quest: Not Available [Accessible once the countdown ends] Countdown: 29:29:59 Ank stared at the glowing pages.
His eyes widened slightly,this was not the first time he had seen it.
He had already read it once before.
Yet even now, he still found it difficult to believe.
His gaze remained fixed on his status, on his current strength, or rather, on the complete lack of it.
At first, he had refused to accept the truth before his eyes.
But after everything he had experienced these past few days…
The book had proven that it was not lying.
And that was precisely what made it terrifying.
His gaze moved across the page again and again, as though he desperately hoped the words would somehow change before his eyes.
But the words never changed, and the truth remained exactly the same, merciless, brutal, and completely unchanged no matter how many times he read it.
“What…
is this?” His voice trembled slightly.
“Why are all my Blessings locked?” The words felt absurd.
Almost insulting.
“How am I supposed to live like this?” His voice cracked with anger and disbelief.
“And quests…” he muttered.
“Why do I need to complete quests just to unlock my own power?” He already knew his strength would be sealed.
That had been the price.
A price he had willingly paid during the final battle before being sealed inside the meteor.
He had pushed his power beyond its limits.
Far beyond what any being should have been capable of enduring.
Surviving that battle alone was already a miracle.
But this…
This was something he had never expected.
Locked Blessings and locked Titles.
Tasks issued by gods.
None of these things had ever existed when he ruled the universe.
Ank clenched his fists.
“So I have to complete quests…” His voice became quiet.
“Just to reclaim the power that once belonged to me.” His eyes moved toward the names written in the book.
God of Creation.
God of Destruction.
God of Protection.
The three beings responsible for his future.
His expression darkened.
“Why?” “Why are the Gods of Creation and Protection doing this to me?” “The God of Destruction makes sense.” “That one I understand.” “I know he hates me.” “But you two…” “Why?” His fingers tightened around the book.
“I know all of you were watching me at that moment.” He stood up and instinctively tried to call them.
He had the power to summon both gods, and they would answer his call.
But nothing happened.
The silence remained.
And suddenly a sharp pain spread through his head.
Ank frowned.
“Fine.” “I won’t try to call them.” He lowered his head.
Then he looked at the book again.
“But why is the Book of Everything doing this to me?” “What I remember…” “is that it could grant any power in exchange for a price.” His eyes narrowed.
“But this…” “This makes no sense.” The room remained silent.
Only the faint glow of the book illuminated the room.
Ank slowly closed his eyes.
He still remembered.
After the final battle, his body had already reached its limit.
His life force had been fading.
His death had been inevitable.
Someone had sealed him inside the meteor to save his life.
That much he understood.
But everything after that…
Seals, the quests, the countdown, the locked Blessings, and even the involvement of the three gods formed a puzzle that refused to make sense, no matter how many times he tried to piece it togetherAnk glared at the book for a long time.
His mind was filled with countless thoughts.
How was he supposed to survive?
How was he supposed to reclaim his power?
And most importantly…
What was the book hiding from him?
Slowly, he turned the page.
He did not expect anything to change.
After all, the first page he had read so far had only brought disappointment.
But the moment his eyes landed on the next page…
He froze.
His pupils contracted.
A new line had appeared.
A line that had not existed before ,written in golden letters.
As if the book had been waiting for this exact moment.
And the moment Ank read the first word…
His expression changed completely.
**Author’s Note** A small note about Ank’s status.
Yes, it looks confusing right now, and that is intentional.
The sealed titles, Blessings, unknown rank, Life Force Burning, and 0.001% accessible power will all be explained naturally as the story progresses.
I don’t want to reveal everything through a single status page and turn the chapter into an information dump.
Also, Ank’s status is not a normal system status.
The Book of Everything has its own purpose, and there is a reason almost everything connected to Ank has been sealed.
The three gods and their quests are also much more important than they currently appear.
For now, just remember one thing,0.001% does not mean Ank is weak.
It means almost everything that once made him the First Waestor is currently beyond his reach.
Thank you for reading!
The next chapter will reveal who altered the Book of Everything and why Ank’s suffering has only just begun.
