Clark sat on the grassy slope at the heart of his domain, gazing at the status panel still floating before his eyes.
"D-Class... Dominion," he muttered.
His fingers curled into fists in the grass.
He wasn't blind. Others were already posting in the **Regional Chat**, bragging about their talents.

> **\[ShiningSword]**: "A-rank talent, 'Heaven-Slaying Blade' — baby, I'm gonna carve up gods."
> **\[ForestSaint]**: "S-Rank, 'Spirit Whisperer'. Nature bowed to me, literally."
> **\[GreedyBastard]**: "Bro got E-Rank 'Smelly Toad.' Pray for him "

He sighed. "Figures. I finally get isekai'd and I still lose the RNG lottery..."
But then suddenly.....
> **\[ERROR DETECTED — UNIQUE SOUL SIGNATURE]**
> **\[CORRECTIVE PROTOCOL: GRANTING EX-CLASS DIVINE TALENT]**
And then… everything changed.

Clark didn't speak.
He couldn't.
His mind was a storm. Not from fear—but from revelation.
He knew stories of chosen ones with rare talents. S-Class geniuses. Legendary bloodlines.
But an EX-Class?
Even the system had glitched to accommodate it.
Clark's eyes gleamed.
His earlier disappointment evaporated like mist.
"So I can multiply *loot*…"
He hadn't even begun and was already holding an unbalanced weapon.
Just then, a divine chime rang out:
---
> **[BEGINNER TREASURE CHEST GRANTED]**
A flash of light burst from thin air and condensed into a glowing golden cube hovering in front of him. Intricate runes danced across its surface.
---
### [Beginner Treasure Chest – Contents]
> * \[Random Territory Recruit-banished crusader)] x1, God's Residence – Tier 0 Palace] x1, Divinity] x100, Divine Crystals] x1000, Wood] x1,000, Stone] x1,000
At that moment his Divine Multiplier talent kicked in, reality twisted.
A quiet, godlike hum rippled through the air. One by one, the items transformed under the talent's effect.
[Divine Multiplier Activated – Results]
Recruitment Order (Upgraded): SSS-Class – Fallen Angel: Seraphiel
God's Residence (unchanged): Tier 0 Palace x1

Divine Crystals: 1,000 → 1,000,000
Wood: 1,000 → 1,000,000
Stone: 1,000 → 1,000,000
Clark nearly dropped to his knees.
"A hundred thousand Divinity...?"
He blinked, checked again, and laughed. It was real.
"I'm going to break this system..."
He looked again at the upgraded Recruitment Order, still glowing with white-gold light.
Recruitment Order: SSS-Class – Fallen Angel

Title: The Wingless Blade
Race: Fallen Celestial
Class: Divine Commander
Initial Loyalty: 90

"From a banished crusader to an angel who fought in the heavens..."
Clark whispered in awe, "…this is no longer a game."
"I need to see it," he muttered, taking a breath to center himself. "Status."

His heart was pounding, not from excitement—but from realization.
"Everyone got the same chest. But only I turned dust into heaven."
He finally looked up toward the stars glowing overhead.
"This… is my throne to build."
*************
He studied the panel in silence. All ascenders start with 0 divinity. And they have been granted 100 divinity by the system and some basic resources.
But the rest?
Divine Name: ???
He raised an eyebrow. "Does that mean I can choose my own godly title later?" He made a mental note to test that when he leveled up or awakened further.
He closed the panel with a flick of thought and turned to the territory panel...
: Open Domain Status.**

Clark rubbed his chin, scanning the display with growing interest.
Everyone starts with two-kilometer radius domain. But With his With Dominion talent he already sensed the potential to shape it and expand it even more.
He narrowed his eyes at the "**Mystic Veins: Dormant**" line.
> "If I can awaken those… this place could become a cultivation haven."
With nothing built yet, his next steps were obvious. He'd need a **Core Building**, likely a **Shrine** or **Throne Platform**, something to anchor his divine presence.
Just as he finished checking his status, he had prepared to go to the chat area but then again....
**Universal Will** echoed once more — not just in his mind, but across the entire Divine Continent.

The voice faded, leaving behind a quiet tension in the air.
Clark stood still for a long moment.
> "Rank 25…?"
The throne wasn't just a metaphor. There really was **an end**. A finish line. One crown to claim.
> "Only one may inherit... huh?"
His gaze drifted upward to the unseen stars above the Divine Continent.
A path was laid before him.
> **From mortal to monarch. From dust... to divinity.**
He clenched his fist and whispered, more to himself than anyone else:
> "Then I'll climb all 25 steps…"
> "...and sit alone at the top."
