[Now opening first acquired skills]

『Embodiment of the plot』

. By virtue of being the author favorite character you have the full support of the author, any disease that befalls you will magically go away, any life-or-death situation that will end in your absolute death or doom, will be label invalid as the author will find a way to resurrect you, any sticky situation that you find yourself in will be countered with time, the world is your story and since it is your story it revolves around you.

Upon hearing the voice in my head, I instantly raised an eye, as all I could say at this time and moment was these three words.

"Say what now?"

Really and truly, I might not be what many would call an otaku, but I more or less understand the meaning of plot armor, it's basically allowing the main character to always survive life threatening events, I have read many stories of old, especially historical stories and many classical stories even folklores.

And if it was one thing all their main character shares in common was the fact that they all possess something called plot armor, some of them are even at a stupid level as well.

And now this strange voice in my head is telling me that my Aptitude is plot armor itself, how crazy is that!? But what was even crazier was my main source control which is plot control, if that's the case can I manipulate the plot of anything and anyone, or is something else entirely!?

And just when I was questioning this new skill of mine, I heard myself talk once more, at this point and time I was just calling this voice [World] reason be it wasn't mine although it sounds like me, it appears that its main function is just informing me about new skill that comes under my skill tree.

[Source control: plot] or also known as [Plot divergence]

『Plot divergence』

. Due to subject. A45332AP origin not been of this universe, or any other multiverse that exist within this multi-multiverse sector, you are free from the rules of this world, in short, your very birth shakes the very fabric of the world power balance, normally a weaker opponent can't beat a stronger opponent much less harm them, but that rules doesn't apply to you.

After World stop speaking, I drop down the library smooth marble floors, as I began thinking about everything he said.

Source, if what Shalvaveesha said is true then it's this world equivalent to mana, each source is like a talent each individual person is born with, for her it was death source, translate that to modern day English, it would be death magic hence the reason she has skills related to death.

Most likely at the level of the gods, she has also claim that her control over the death source was profound she can kill anything with ease.

There is also the fact that each and every one personal realm and skill tree that they are born with is unique for every person in some shape and form.

With that said it also safe to say that this mysterious girl that came before me is my tree, meaning she is my power, it might be possible that each skill tree takes different shape and form as well.

It's for that very reason, that when I touch her hand earlier it fulfills the condition in order for me to activate my skill tree, and since I just came to this world the first skill it gave me was [Embodiment of the plot] I can also say this makes me immortal due to the fact that this mysterious author won't let me die no matter what.

But does that also mean that I'm being control by him, or is the author just some bored omnipotent god or goddess that view everything around him or her as nothing more than mere story he or she can write on a piece of paper as if it was his or her toys to play with just because he or she owns it.

"Sigh so many questions, but I won't get nowhere thinking about it, in an ironic sense human create many beautiful stories deciding the fate of their individual characters just because they can, but in the end it all comes down to one thing which is fate, and in the end that also apply to all living things back on Earth as well, and maybe even here, not everyone can control their own fate, and I'm just one of them, but then and again maybe I'm overthinking this, due to the fact I want answers to something I might never get."

This thought plagued me deeply, being control is one thing, but been control while knowing you are been control, and can't do anything about it is another thing.

"I feel as if everything around me is a lie, but what can do, nothing that's what I can do, and that how it will always be, but you know what, I don't really mind, nor will I let this serious reality check stop me, I will live my life in this new world the best as I can."

And just as I acknowledge the fact that I might never be able to defeat this so-called Author I began to hear World speak once more in my head.

[New passive skill gained]

[You have unlocked the passive skill Fourth wall awareness]

『Fourth wall awareness』

. By accepting that your existence is a byproduct of the author, you gained the ability to surpass the fourth wall, and by surpassing the fourth wall you gained the ability to have omnipotent potential, which is basically the ability to have the potential to achieved the impossible.

[Now calculating total acquired skills]

『Acquired skills』

. Embodiment of the plot

. Fourth wall awareness

. Plot divergence

Silence that the only reaction that came out of me, it wasn't because I was not surprised, if anything it was the very opposite, by simply accepting that I can't beat the author or maybe the one true god of this universe and possibly the multiverse at that.

I gained a very overpowered skill which basically gives me the potential to be the strongest at everything I do, for example if I practice sword art, I have the potential to make my swings so powerful it would be equivalent to a nuke.

I could destroy mountain with ease with enough training, I could surpass the speed of light without running, I could have omniscience with enough studying, in short, my potential or the raw talent that I now possess was now unbeatable, simply because the author wills it.

"I won't even question it anymore."

"If anything, let's focus on something else, plot divergence in short, it's my main magic, it is such a magic that it literally allows me to defy the very logic of the world itself, for now I shall call it [divergence magic] a magic so powerful it let me exist outside the ruling structure of the world universe laws itself, you can also say, I can disobey and avoid the rules of the world by force."

"That pretty insane, thing that are considered unkillable to most is just laughing joke to me."

I think about this for a couple more minutes, and right after I did that I got up, I already met my power which is the little girl standing before me, and honestly speaking I have nothing else to do here at the moment.

So, before I leave, I went up to the mysterious girl and gave her one last look, she looks sad, very sad, almost as if her whole life meant nothing to her, honestly, I don't know why, but from the very moment I met this girl I felt very attach to her almost if we are connected somehow.

It could also be the very fact this girl is my power; she defines everything that is me, I don't know if humanoid skill tree is possible but I still want to get know her better, so I ask yet another question.

"Do you have a name?"

The girl looks up at me, as she nods her head slowly to my question.

"I see, so what is your name, and how do you have one if you were just born."

The girl looked at me for a couple second then to her clothes as she pulls one of the black leaves from her clothes which transform to a small note book and a pen as she began writing something in it.

And after she finish writing down her message to me, she showed it to me, and this was what it said.

"Greeting partner, my name is Morgiana, and the reason I have name already is because I named myself, you may also refer to me as the tree of creation."

"The tree of creation you say?"

"Is there a meaning behind that name and title."

"Nothing you should worry about."

"I see, ok then, well then Morgiana I look forward to working alongside you."

"The feeling is mutual."

"Well then I will leave you in charge of this place, for now I'm going back to the real word."

"Safe journey."

"Well take care of yourself I guess."

Morgiana nodded her head as she turned around and slowly walk away, I watch her till I couldn't see her anymore.

From there I exit my realm by repeating the same process, and the next thing I notice I was back to the real word.

And the first thing I heard was Shalvaveesha voice as she said.

"It's about time you came back, you been in their for three hours."

I look at her and replied as such.

"I was just getting a feel for my ability and skill three."

"Sigh whatever, since your awake is the new hairstyle to your licking."

Spoke Shalvaveesha as she summons a mirror revealing my new hairstyle, and when I look, I saw a simple but tolerable enough hair style.

My new hairstyle was a single giant red plait that reach my back.

I look back at her and nodded my head, as she responded as such.

"With that said its time for me to gift you a cheat and a weapon of choice."

When I heard that my eyes widen in confusion as I said.

"What's a cheat?"
