Van sat on his bed and relished the memories of the amazing meal and wine he just had. He was full to the point he felt like he could pop out of his belt had he eaten another plate.
His mind wandered as he thought about the various topics he had spoke about with Max. 'Hmm I don't know what the future holds but I need to get stronger' he thought as he clenched his fist.
If it was true that there were higher ups and basically an entire establishment that had who knows how many years to grow and strengthen their forces to the point that they could buy and use children as test subjects without any interference meant that the people in charge had to be stronger than he could even imagine currently.
This thought alone put a lot of weight on Van's shoulders as he was finally seeing a glimpse of what it was he was up against in becoming one with the will of this universe. His journey wouldn't offer him any room for slacking or error. To add insult to injury he was working with a time limit it seemed in all of his objectives when he was already behind on time with however long of a head start the organizations he was up against had before he came into existence.
'System can I choose to receive the third blessing now?' Van decided receiving his final blessing from the system would be the best next step for him to start his journey to achieve his goals.
[Yes, the host may let me know when to begin the roll for his final blessing.] the system replied.
'You can start it now.' Van said with his fingers crossed hoping that this time he got something good again, he needed everything he could get against the mountains he was going to have to climb.
The system began the roll as a shuffling sound was made. The shuffling continued before a clicking sound was made.
*Click*
[Oh My…] The system said in a thoughtful tone causing Van to start sweating in anxiety thinking it was trash and this 3rd blessing could be thought of as a single cookie at his buffet of mind numbing skills and abilities so far.
'What is it come on tell me!" Max said seeing the system wasn't saying anything more after completing the random roll for his blessing.
[ Ah Yes I think it would be best if the host opens the status menu and sees for himself, I will answer any question I can after that.] The system replied and went silent again.

'TIME AFFINITY WHAT THE F*%€!' Van thought as he was totally not expecting this, but it also made him think, 'What even is time how is this even useful? Plus it's only 1% what can I do with that.'
When he thought that he decided to open up the description of this passive ability.
[Aeternum: grants the user the ability to manipulate time depending on his comprehension of time. Also just having this ability makes the user timeless and invulnerable to death by growing old. User can upgrade this skill by comprehending the nature of time(increase wisdom stat for faster comprehension) "If nothing existed would time stop?"]
The description of the ability was by far the shortest and the most complicated. He pondered about the question and decided to ask the system. 'System do you know anything about the time ability?'
[All that I know is that there have only been 3 beings that have abilities regarding time, they are untouchable throughout all of existence and all three of them are actually a part of their greatness.] the system replied.
Van realized he hadn't thought about it until now but who was this 'Their Greatness' and what did they even have to do with his universe and his awakening.
'Is there anything else you can tell me?' He decided to not prod about 'Their Greatness' since it seemed they were helping him and on his side at least for now.
[The only other thing I know about time is that time and space are things that go hand in hand as they are just about the only things that would likely still exist if nothing existed.] The system replied.
'The only things that would exist if nothing existed… How does nothing even exist¿?' it felt like these words we're a train derailing and crashing throughout his brain. So did that mean time and space exist outside of existence with nothing?
[The host has increased his affinity with time to 1.3%] the voice of the system rang through as he thought about what she had said.
