"Wait… What the—Why am I floating in space?! System, what kind of scam is this?! I'm gonna die!"
But then it hit him. "Oh... wait. I'm a stone. SEBAS already mentioned this might happen." Vel sighed. "Alright, stay calm, Vel. Check your status first, panic later."
"Status!"

"Everything looks... well, confusing, but I get the gist." Vel shook his head. "SEBAS, what's this Tier 1 nonsense? What's it mean?"

Tier 6-8: Highly trained humans (elite soldiers, athletes).
Tier 9-10: Peak human capabilities (geniuses, special forces).
"Great... So I'm bottom-tier trash," Vel muttered, half-disbelieving. "Just my luck."
[SEBAS: Correct, Master. You are currently very weak.]
"Yeah, thanks for reminding me," Vel said sarcastically. "How do I absorb Cosmic Energy?"
[SEBAS: Focus your consciousness and will the energy to flow into you. The system will handle the rest. Note: You also have a message and a gift awaiting your attention.]
Vel's face brightened. "A gift? Alright, let's see what this is."
[Message from ####: Hope you enjoy my gift, Velcro. Do with it as you wish, but do not use it for evil. You've been warned.]
"Weird... but thanks, mysterious guy."
[GIFT RECEIVED: 50 CE, Skill: Cosmic Maneuver, System Shop, Inventory (Small)]
"Ooh, sweet! Let's check out the shop—"
[SEBAS: Apologies, Vel, but you're about to crash into a meteor in 23 seconds.]
"Wait, WHAT?! I can't move! How do I dodge it?!"
[SEBAS: Use Cosmic Maneuver to avoid it. It requires minimal energy, so no worries.]
"Cosmic Maneuver!" Vel mentally activated the skill as the meteor hurtled toward him. With a flash of energy, he barely avoided the impact—but not without a few cracks spreading across his stone body.
"Damn it! SEBAS, I'm cracked! What do I do?!"
[SEBAS: Focus on closing the cracks with your consciousness. You can use CE to repair yourself.]
Vel took a deep breath—or whatever the stone equivalent was. "Alright, let's give this a shot…"
[Completed Repair: -3 CE]
[Cosmic Maneuver: -1 CE]
"Fucking hell… I've barely started and I've already burned through 4 CE! How am I supposed to survive like this?"
[SEBAS: The beginning is always the hardest, Master. Don't worry—it will get easier.]
Vel sighed, "Alright, let's find a planet to explore. But before that… SEBAS, open the shop. Let's see what kind of goodies I can buy."

Vel scanned the shop options, a grin forming. "Hoo, so I can just name something I want, and you can price it for me, SEBAS? That's great!"
[SEBAS: Correct, Vel. You can request upgrades, tools, or knowledge, and I will provide the corresponding cost. What would you like to do?]
"Let's start with the basics then. SEBAS, upgrade my energy absorption to the maximum level—but leave me with at least 5 CE."
[Processing request...]
[Upgrading Cosmic Absorption to Maximum...]
Vel felt a sudden rush of energy flow through him, as if the surrounding void of space was slowly feeding him more power.
[Cosmic Absorption Maxed: Energy Absorption Rate upgraded to 10 CE per hour.]
[Remaining CE: 5]
Vel smirked, feeling a new surge of potential. "Nice. That should make things easier. Alright, SEBAS, let's start building up that energy. Time to get stronger."
