『 Beyond the Reach of Humans, in the #&#π$@ 』
The sun bathed a large hospital room in its warm glow as a handsome, almost unreal figure lay on the single bed in the white room.
He had white hair cut in a neat 60/40 style and long lashes, with a blanket draped over his body.
The room was quiet, but outside buzzed with noise, not just from the many students going about their day, but also from right outside his room.
...
"Who should go in first?" a voice asked from beyond his door.
There was a brief silence between the four male silhouettes before one with red hair and yellow eyes spoke:
"Vicky, you're the one with the least information, so just open the door."
Vicky pushed his glasses up, trying to come up with some elaborate excuse. Finding none, he answered flatly:
"No."
A tall, handsome man who towered over them stepped forward without a word, entered, and shut the door.
Vicky and Cale exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Eric, only to find him gone.
Before they could even process it, a loud cry rang out from inside the room.
"My back!!"
The two burst in simultaneously, only to see Eric on the hospital bed wrestling with the sleeping beauty until he shoved him to the floor.
The beautiful young man clenched his jaw, unsure why he was even here to begin with.
"What the hell are you guys doing here?!"
Vicky cleared his throat. "Well, we heard you fainted after Ha-joon's attack during the test, so we came to see you."
"Huh?" the stunning man asked, puzzled. "Wait, I—"
He gripped his head tightly as the memories of what happened after the reset replayed in his mind like a recording.
Falmouth City, the basketball game, bed warmers, and Rachel.
He slowly lowered his hand and stared at his palm. 'But what was that?'
Leaning against the wall as his friends made themselves comfortable, he wondered, 'Is that how the power of God works?'
His gaze swept the room before he gave a mental command: "System."

"Huh?" he said aloud, feeling like his brain had short-circuited.
He blinked once.
Twice. But it didn't vanish.
Then he rubbed his eyes briefly, then more vigorously.
"Guys..." he muttered, addressing his friends. "Can you step out for a moment?"
Cale turned to him, then, as if recalling something asked:
"Are you having your period again?"
Arthur nodded, completely forgetting the excuse he had once given Cale when caught in the act.
They quickly left the room, stifling their laughter about his "period," but Arthur was too preoccupied to care.
He stared at the stats again, stood up, and laughed.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
This was basically cheating.
He had reached the peak of humanity without lifting a finger.
It felt just like those moments in videos when someone hacks the game and jumps straight to the top.
He clenched his fist. "Now I can live a peaceful, lazy life."
He glanced at the stats once more with an unfading grin. "Now..."
He tried to activate a Tier 1 spell with his Colour.
It wasn't like he didn't know it might blow up the entire school or even the whole human domain, but who cared?
Normally, Colour merely mimicked everything, but this time it felt different.
A blue magic circle formed above his hand with the rune inscription for the spell he wanted to use.
Vanish.
Arthur instantly disappeared from the room and found himself in the sky.
"What the hell?!" he muttered as the wind whipped around him wildly.
He turned, about to panic from the height, then it dawned on him.
You make a Tier 1 spell = You strong.
You strong = No need for fear.
Yeah, even if the spell failed, he was still overpowered now.
"It doesn't have to make sense as long as it's sweet."
He flipped mid-air as if lying on a bed, though he was still plummeting toward an unfamiliar mountain.
Arthur swiped open his stats window and clicked on his relationships.
All his wives were still there. It seemed he had somehow gotten all of them to infinite lovers without even realizing it, and Lysandra and Eliya were also present.
"The bed warmer and the rest are here too."
They were the most shocking.
If the world had reset, or rather returned to its original state, it shouldn't have been possible.
He sighed. "System, are my family and wives safe?"
『 ... 』
Arthur waited for a reply, but nothing came.
After a long pause, he leaned in and whispered, "You know… that I know… that you know… that I know… you're sentient. And we both know that we know."
The system beeped:
『 …what?😵💫 』
Arthur smiled, then his gaze darkened, and he sat upright. "There's still a lot I want to know, but I think I've figured out most of it by now."
The One, someone unknown to the world, created all the universes.
After that, he made the seven stars who ruled over the seven universes he had formed.
Since The One was so powerful, the beings he created were powerful too, but they couldn't handle it and split themselves into separate entities, which became the smaller gods we know.
And just as he had deduced before, the gods and their apostles, after growing stronger, desired The One's power and killed him with the gods of the other seven worlds.
And the man whose title was God chose Arthur as his inheritor.
"System, does that mean there's a power level beyond Supreme?"
『 ...uhmm... No 』
▷ The Supreme Rank is bigger than most people think.
"Okay." He nodded. "But... Are you, perhaps, feminine?"
『 👍... I'm Memey, your cute system that will call you Onee-chan 』
Arthur stared at the screen, dumbfounded.
Having nothing to say, he reclined in the air. "Pretend I never asked."
『 ...okay 🥹 』
Besides that, most things seemed fine.
If the reset had occurred as he had arranged it to, then the gods were meant to be sealed, and Sylvia was meant to become a goddess again.
And he had done all that with only Time Affinity.
"Speaking of that."
He twisted slightly, then opened a portal made of shadows and stepped inside.
It was time to kill someone he couldn't at the start.
The bitch who started the whole mess to begin with.
