After seeing his status panel and realizing how few skills he possessed, Arun's excitement faded. His mind returned to a calm, focused state.
Now that he had basic information about the world, his plan was roughly formed: to dominate every domain—money, politics, mafia, and the supernatural.
The good news? He had absorbed the initial thunder calamity and shocked the world, earning 10 million Influence Energy.
It sounded like a lot, but in truth, it was barely enough.
Arun had already categorized the skill tiers:
Skill Tier
Energy Cost
Description
Low Level
1,000 Energy
Basic skills, useful but common
Medium Level
100,000 Energy
Advanced civilian or combat skills
High Level
1,000,000 Energy
Master-level, elite capabilities
Pseudo-God Level
100,000,000 Energy
Reality-bending powers
God Level
1,000,000,000 Energy
Divine, world-altering abilities
So, 10 million energy was enough only for a few high-level skills. But that was fine—Arun didn't need to become a god overnight. He needed a foundation.
Arun sat cross-legged again. Golden-purple energy began to glow from his Dantian, flowing through his body and soul. Divine patterns bloomed around him, forming a radiant mandala of creation.
He focused his thoughts, channeling energy into skill formation.
After an hour of intense concentration, the ritual was complete.

Arun nodded in satisfaction. Now his panel looked decent.
This was the year 2015, and the world was full of opportunities—especially in the entertainment industry, where many classic movies and songs hadn't yet been created. With Master-Level Singing, which cost him 2 million energy, he could make a mark.
Tech Prodigy would help him quickly recover his blocked technological knowledge.
Defense and Master Fighting were essential—who knew when he'd be dragged into a gang fight?
And the miscellaneous skills like Exercise, Meditation, and Telepathy added depth to his foundation.
But his favorite skill?
Good Luck—which cost 3 million energy.
He didn't regret it. Luck was always important, especially since he planned to enter the stock market. Like many travelers before him, Arun decided to earn his first pot of gold through shares.
🧠 Identity Problem
Before that, he needed to solve his identity issue.
Luckily, his Intelligence was at 150—peak human level. Above him were only supernatural geniuses. And even though his memories were sealed, his experience from countless reincarnations gave him an edge.
He didn't need full memory—just a flicker of a process, and he could reconstruct it.
That's why he created Tech Prodigy—to rebuild his knowledge and adapt to this world.
Arun looked at his hands.
"This is just the beginning. I may not be a god yet… but I've planted the seeds."
He smiled.
"Let's see how far this foundation can take me."
