Typically, only those born with high intelligence could amass stat points rapidly enough to meet such a requirement. With an intelligence of just 1, I was at a distinct disadvantage. Even distributing my points was not possible without reaching that 100-point threshold.
The only way I could overcome this was with a Failed Potion created by an Alchemist, which would make me average. This potion was originally made to make everyone a genius, but its effect was reversed. Anyone who drinks this potion becomes average in talent. Although a failed product, it would allow me to bypass the usual stat requirements for my blessings.
Normally, my God King's Blessing required accumulating 100 stat points to unlock its true power. But with this potion, that threshold would be reduced to the standard 10 points, meaning I could awaken my blessings sooner. The downside? It would reduce my advantage from being ten times stronger than average to around three times.
Still, with the God King's Blessing, which is second only to the Blessing of the Asura King, I was confident it would be more than enough to overpower anyone—as long as I didn't face a true prodigy. In this world, the only one who could surpass my blessing was the protagonist blessed with gifts from three separate God Kings.
This is the main item I need, and aside from that, I also need two other items to reach rank E in three years.
The second item I needed was the Egg of Fenrir. According to legend, the original Fenrir left this egg on Earth under God King Odin's orders as a means of protection if the need arose. Securing this creature's egg would give me a powerful ally.
Fortunately, it was easier to acquire than the potion—the egg had long been kept in my family's collection. I am fortunate that I am one year ahead of when my big sister would discover it.
The final item was an Ancient Spear with Consciousness. This weapon wasn't very powerful, but it had its own battle awareness, capable of communicating with and assisting its wielder. If I could find it, my combat potential would rise exponentially. This weapon was an opportunity for the protagonist of the game if you chose the spearman class.
This weapon could fuse with any powerful weapon, significantly increasing its potential. However, retrieving it was no simple feat. The spear wasn't hidden in some dungeon filled with traps and monsters, but inside a city marketplace of an unknown city, identifiable only by a large fountain at its center. I would need the help of my guards—and some well-placed bribes.
With my list prepared, I wrote down the items in detail:
1. Potion which makes you average- Forest near Avalon City
2. Egg of Fenrir – Family Treasury
3. Spear with Consciousness – City with large fountain
Confident in my preparation and recovery, I called for my attendant. When my maid entered, without looking at her, I spoke, "Tell my guards I'm summoning them." I was already formulating a plan to retrieve each item. I knew their locations well, having gone there many times in the game. Now, it was time to put my plan into action.

Ten Minutes Later
A young boy with purple hair, no older than fifteen, stood before fifteen guards. All of them had blue hair, marking them as members of a branch family, while the main family, including him, had purple hair—a symbol of their strong thunder affinity.
"You, you, you, and you," I pointed to four guards. "You're dismissed from duty."
The four bowed and left without a word, knowing better than to speak to a main family member, even if they viewed me as weak.
I remembered seeing these four in the game, I thought, recalling a scene where my sister had ordered them to aid the protagonist in killing me. They had done so without hesitation. The other nine had claimed it was their duty to protect me, but since my sister was the new family heir after my elder brother's death, they hadn't intervened.
I looked over the remaining guards, focusing on a pair of 19-year-old twins—one boy and one girl—each possessing the beauty expected of even a branch family member of Thunderhart. The girl stiffened slightly under my gaze, likely recalling that her future in the game. She is main heroine which means she is protagonist woman, as she was destined to join his harem.
Her brother had stayed loyal to me, but I knew separating them would only strain my relationship with him. I'd have to manage their loyalty delicately.
"You two," I said, "will accompany me everywhere from now on. The others will only join us when I leave our domain." The twins exchanged glances before kneeling, followed by the other guards.
"Now, both of you come with me. We're going to…" I paused, realizing my position. I was from an ancient noble family—one that existed even before the Asura invasion. Why should I retrieve everything myself?
I pointed at one of the remaining guards. "Bring me all of the Skyler Wolf eggs from the first floor of the treasury."
"Yes, Young Master," he replied, bowing before leaving.
The Skyler Wolf was a C-rank monster, long extinct. My family had kept its unhatched eggs as traps for high-level monsters. These eggs, which are kept on the 1st floor, had lost their mana signatures, making them useless for that purpose. But still, I couldn't help but question my family's oversight in mistakenly classifying the legendary God-Killer Egg as just another Skyler Wolf egg.
This egg was an opportunity for my sister in the game, but now it would be mine.
