"Cosmic cliché."
Deen said as he entered through the giant doors that closed themselves once he was inside.
His eyes were bathed with a suddenly brilliant and when everything quite down his eyes shined in a glimmer of excitement.
His gaze was fixed in front, his mouth left wide open.
"So much Cosmic Power!"
He smiled, he almost seemed to want to jump in happiness.
In front of him was a pillar the sized of a normal human in height and shapped in a cylindrical pyramid shape.
Above this pointy shape was a black cube with blue shining patterns on it. It's size seemed approximately the size of a head of a normal adult.
It seemed to be slowly rotating and shifting up and down ever so slightly.
Deen took another glance then left of his iris changed to a plus "+" shape and his vision shifted.
His new perspective showed the cube emitting extreme levels of purple Power. This type of Power was the cosmic Power and was purple in color for those who could see it.
Deen didn't hesitate and walked forward and snatched the floating cude.
When made hand contact with the cube suddenly everything disappeared. He found grabbing nothing.
He couldn't help but flex his arm to really understand there was nothing he had grabbed.
The scenary had changed and he seemed to be in a dark empty space. Nothing as the eye could see. In fact he was floating midair alone peering into the nothingness.
Neither was he falling or rising.
"Mmmh, what is it now?"
[Welcome to the Unlimited System Test.]
A sudden boom of voice in his head made him stunned for a moment as he slowly listened what the voice had to say.
[ Initiating Soul test. Error Soul not found.]
[Proceeding… Checking Requirements.]
[Kill 100,000,000,000,000 souls. Requirements already satisfied.]
[Become Immortal: Requirement already satisfied.]
[ Mental Fortitude level 100. Already satisfied.]
[Intelligence Level 100: Already satisfied.]
[CONFIRMED: ALL BASIC REQUIREMENTS SATISFIED]
[Initiating final test. Answer the questions host.]
The voice sounded in his head like a telepathic message and messages were appearing before him on a floating black white shadow screen.
The voice sounded that of a fluent female voice AI.
Deen was puzzled beyond belief. He held his chin trying to recall if he has ever heard what a System was but his mind was registering blank.
"Come on! I'm almost certain I've heard of a system before but why would my mind cooperate."
He quickly gave up though. He just waited for a while before he spoke the tension getting too heavy.
"Well let's answer these questions." Deen tried keeping things light and simple.
[ Initiatin verbal test.]
[What is your true name and identify?]
Deen contemplated a bit then answered.
"Seems to me like you already know too much, anyway My name is Deen Claust Clon. I am the law of —Power is my Power—. I'm 5700 years old."
Deen stayed silent for a while and he could hear some sci fi sounds for a while before the voice and messages came back again.
[ How long do you plan to live?]
"That's an easy one. As long as possible. I want to live to witness time ending and every universe comming to it's inevitable END! Imagine it! Being left there waiting for nothing to happen for all of eternity! Amazing right!?"
He got carried away.
[You response and enthusiasm is noted.] The system said.
[Last question. Why do you want to become strong?]
In the blink of an eye, Deen's face became nothing short of regretful and angry.
He then took a deep breath gaining a bit of his composure. Afterwards he seemed to be forcing a smile.
"I have to bring all those I took their lives from back to life. All 213 planets. To do that I need power capable of creating planets, whatever it takes."
Deen affirmed clenching his fist hard.
[Understood. Deen Clon , the Unlimited System deems you worthy of it.]
[ Do you accept the system? ]
Deen didn't overthink this one. He knew this might be a bad decision, one of the reasons he chose not to think.
"A little fishy but If you mean all the power is sensed earlier then yes. I want the System."
[Initiating True Absolute Linkage. The system and host won't be able to be separated by any presence , future or past intervation.]
[ Putting host to sleep mode.]
"Sleep mode? I'm immune to mental…manipu..l..a..t..i..o..n"
Against his will and understanding. He was felt dizzy and soon his vision darkened.
[Linking…..0%]

Nova had flown and was searching under every rock of the little Hill.
That was the location Deen presence vanished.
"Deen where are you!? I shouldn't have left him in his devices again. He always ends up doing something stupid despite his big brain."
The panicked Nova continued her search for about an hour. She didn't have to since she could simply scan the entire area and she already did but refused to accept the results.
After a while she halted.
"Deen!"
She quickly flew to the direction she sense him. Deen's body had materialised outside the tomb.
In just few split of appearing, Nova spotted already him lying on the grass unconscious.
The sight alone made her quiver. Deen didn't seem to be moving at all. Jumping to conclusions she almost broke down to tears but noticed Deen life sighs were still there.
"What happened to you…"
She gently pulled him up and stole a kiss on him on the forehead like a caring mother.
"Let's go home."
She flew to the city without caring about being spotted. It was already night time but that certainly wouldn't be a cover from all the eyes and lights in the city.
Arriving to the rental house she passed through the window landing inside.
After some preparing Deen was lying on the bed.
Nova who stood there for a while waiting for him to wake up, her patience quickly ran out.
"Something is wrong."
She started to inspect him. She placed her arms over his chest and tried to diagnose him.
"His Power has massively grown but it's so unstable. At this rate he might damage his cosmic channels. I better do something."
This wasn't her first time administrating first aid to Deen to she had confidence she might be useful.
She slowly used her own cosmic Power to try and create some equilibrium inside Deen rampant Power.
SQuiBakkkk!!!!
A loud distorted sound, a bang along with extreme pain assaulted her throwing her aside.
She quickly gained her composure and a bead of sweat rolled down her cheek. Nova slowly moved toward Deen unconscious body.
"This might not be something I can handle by myself."
Nova turned her gaze outside as if looking at something. Her gaze looking on specific side of the Milky way galaxy.
"Pathetic, I can't even travel outside a planet anymore. What now? I should probably head north."
