------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eighteen days had passed since I started doing dungeons.

Eighteen days since I had last seen the real world.

Eighteen days where I hadn't slept, at all, doing dungeon after dungeon, non-stop.

Eighteen days where I hadn't eaten.

In short, eighteen days where I had done nothing but killing monsters.

[Serenity - Weapon Skill - Passive - LV 571 =

Allows the user to freely handle Serenity better. 6281% increase in energy consumption efficiency.

Affinity LV 1 = +50% increase to all weapon buffs.]

During this time, I had focused not only on leveling up, but on increasing my weapon skill as fast as possible. Experimenting with Serenity, and some of my other skills as much as I could.

I was confident that at this rate, I would be able to face Knull without any difficulties.

I was overwhelmingly happy with my progress, however, it was time for a break.

Time to see how everyone was doing, before coming back to my grind.

I yawned, exiting the dungeon I had just cleared, teleporting Asgard as I took the first step out.

"Oh Thor is ba…" I stopped mid sentence, realizing as I opened my map that there was something wrong, Sif and Adara were alone in her house. Without a second thought I teleported to her house, a few feet behind Adara, to find at a first glance, Sif lying on the ground coughing in pain, her body spasming, as Adara tried to help her.

"Drink this, you will feel better," Adara said, his tone soothing and full of worry.

I said nothing at the sight, instead deciding to act, by taking a step forward, snatching Sif out of his grasp before he could react, as I scanned her body.

[ Curse of Set - Unique Affliction.

Those afflicted by this curse have their minds warped and twisted, leaving nothing but static noise behind, and broken memories for as long as the curse remains.

The curse is transmitted via bloodstream, meaning that Set requires to mix his own blood with that of his target for the curse to activate. Once active, the curse becomes nearly impossible to lift, as any curse purifying methods would also affect the victim's blood that has now become one with Set's.

Unique status = As a unique affliction, this curse can only be lifted if Set himself breaks the curse, or by giving the afflicted to drink from a vial of purified blood from Set himself.

[Negation] can also cure the affliction, by negating Set's blood in the victim's body, or the mixture of both bloods from existing, however, the user requires to know the properties of both bloods to discern between negations.]

I needed more information to lift the curse with [Negation], it would be easier to have him lift it, or kill him and purify his blood.

"Alex! You're back! I'm glad you came, I don't know what to do… I was looking for you, and decided to ask your girlfriend about your whereabouts, but when I came to talk to her, I found her like this!" Adara sighed, his tone full of worry. "Even with my powers, whatever afflicts her is beyond my reach to help."

"Undo the curse, now!" I ordered, my voice muffled by absolute rage.

"Undo the… it's a curse?" Adara said, in shock, "Then this complicates things…"

I turned around, glaring at him as I gently placed Sif on her couch, summoning Serenity to soothe her mind, taking her mental pain away with the powers that once belonged to the mind stone.

[Set - The Serpent God - LV 2489]

"You can't fool me any longer," I replied my eyes on Sif, as I summoned a pair of healing golems to attend to her.

"What?" Set, still pretending to be Adara tilted his head to the side, confusion dawning on his face.

"I am offering you the undeserving luxury of a quick death, Serpent God, so do as I command, and undo the curse, now!" I spat, taking a step towards him.

The moment I said that, something in his eyes snapped, like a balloon bursting, his entire demeanor changing, as he bowed slightly, "You saw through my disguise, remarkable, but rather unexpected, was it Gaia that sold me out?" he sighed, "I guess it doesn't matter anyways if my sister sold me out or not, too bad though, I was sure the images I had extracted from your surface thoughts would do, I mean, they belonged to people you subconsciously love, hell, I even overwrote my mind and that of a clone I had created to play the perfect role, planning to keep being Adara, and Vest, at least until you were ripe enough for… well, you will see soon enough."

"Very well then, if you won't heal her, I have no use for your existence," I replied in a deep, menacing tone.

"Aren't you a confident one," Set chuckled, his eyes on me. "Child, don't let your hubris blind you, while it's true your potential is unmatched in every conceivable way, you are still nothing but an infant compared to me, one far, far away from my league. However, seeing as you are about to throw your life away for that worthless female, I will offer you a once in a lifetime deal, surrender to me, and I will lift the curse."

"Enough talk, you putrid parasite," I scowled, teleporting the both of us to an empty planet to avoid hurting anyone, leaving behind Serenity to aid the golems in keeping Sif without any pain.

"Once again, my generosity is wasted, oh well, that's what happens when I want to eat without bruising the meat, it never works," Set sighed, shaking his head in disappointment.

"I don't think you've fully understood what's happening, or why I'm so confident, so before I begin dismantling you and turning your remains into a fucking bag, have something very clear, I am stronger than you," I replied, walking towards him.

"That's sweet," Set snorted, wearing a honeyed look. "I almost feel bad for what I'm about to do."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[The Watcher POV.]

Time.

Space.

Reality.

It's more than a linear path, it's a prism of endless possibilities, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities creating alternate worlds from the ones you know.

I am The Watcher, the guardian of these realities.

The one to know it all.

What will be.

What could be.

I had, after all, seen it all happen more than once. However, I was proved wrong, when the anomaly came to be.

Alex Walker, an unknown, his existence a singularity in all of the multiverse.

A deviation from all, without precedent.

I had observed Alex through it all.

His awakening.

The challenges he had to face, all of it, I had witnessed it. For me, every event involving him, every turn, every blink, every action, every challenge he faced, it was all new.

I had seen him go from a mortal man, to a God, with each step he took paving his unconceivable future with endless possibilities, just like the multiverse.

Today, he was about to face Set, an elder God of untold power, that just a few days ago was out of his reach completely. However, Alex seemed confident of his victory, after having trained within his dungeons for eighteen days.

I had no way to confirm his claims, for his dungeons as he called them stepped out of his reality, leaving without sight of his. So, I truly had no idea what he did in them, but if past events had proved anything, it was that Alex was hardly a liar.

A truth the Elder God would soon find out.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Alex Walker POV]

I walked towards Set, my energy flaring in anger at the sight of him.

"I might torture that female a bit after I'm done with you," Set taunted with a sickening smile, his body morphing with an explosion into what I assumed was his true form. A six-headed serpent of massive proportions, one that would easily tower above the tallest mountain, each of his heads gracing the sky menacingly from a different angle.

In a fit of rage, I dashed towards him in a blur of movement, closing the distance between us before he could continue talking, grabbing one of his heads with my left hand before smashing it into the ground. This putrid beast had crossed a line, and he would pay for it. There was no holding back, there was no calm approach, only making him suffer as much as I could.

"Well, impatient are we? I wanted to play a bit before having supper, but sure, let's play your way." He said through one of his many heads, with the head I had smashed into the ground, bleeding, as he offered a sadistic laugh that echoed across the empty planet. "Ah, well, in that case, let's eat!" At this, Set's energy exploded with power, his cosmic presence becoming larger, as his power increased.

He was tapping into his realm to access more power.

I was, however, overwhelmingly unimpressed by his pathetic display, simply deciding to match his display of power, by flaring my own cosmic energy to match his.

"My, my, impressive, no wonder you are so confident." Set cackled, his serpentine tongues oscillating outside his heads in quivering excitement. "Be that as it may, it won't be enough, but, if it's any consolation, it does make you look more appetizing."

I said nothing, gesturing at him to come at me with one hand confidently. Set chuckled at this, charging at me. Our auras flaring, like small stars in a bright display of power that illuminated the planet, as we crashed into one another, our attacks pushing against one another.

—----------------------------

[Set - The Serpent God - POV]

I charged towards Alex, sure the amount of power I was channeling from my realm would be more than enough to deal with him quickly, I was, after all, using a level of power far greater than I have ever used before, however, the moment our attacks clashed, I felt myself being pushed back.

That should've been impossible.

A few days ago, I was vastly stronger than him, yet, now, as we fought, he was not only matching my attacks, but he was pushing them back with a stoic expression on his face, easily keeping up with me.

His potential was unmatched, but this was inconceivable.

Now, more than ever, I wanted to devour him.

Laughing, I began to channel more power from my realm, trying to overwhelm him, to test his current limits before devouring him, however, rather than pushing him in any measure, I found myself being pushed back even harder as he remained unfazed through all of it.

I gritted my teeth in anger, before opening my mouths, blasting at him with multiple torrents of energy. Each blast coming from a different angle, making my attack one impossible to dodge, at least completely.

However, as my attacks were about to reach him, he took a step forward, maneuvering his body around, dodging each blast with ease, as if dodging toys being thrown at him, before teleporting in front of me, snapping two of my necks with a simple chop.

"You bastard," I snarled in pain, slithering a few meters back from him as my necks healed. I had to give it to him, he had improved a lot, more so than I ever imagined. Nevertheless, I was far from done, I still had a lot of power to tap into. He would soon learn just how powerful I was.

"Is that all?" He asked.

"Don't be cocky now, I have barely begun to tap into my true power!" I spat in anger, slamming my tail to the ground, as I channeled even more power from my realm before rushing at him again. This time creating multiple clones of me, to attack him from every conceivable angle at the same time with a vast array of attacks, in an attempt to overwhelm the arrogant fool to show him the error of his way.

However, much to my shock, Alex managed to block each one of my attacks with a disconcerting amount of ease, without even looking at them, keeping his eyes fixed on me, the original body.

'This shouldn't be possible!' I cursed inwardly. While it was true I had yet to reach my limit, this was inconceivable, no one, no matter his potential, should be able to reach such a level, in such an amount of time! It took millions of years to reach the level he was displaying!

"I told you, didn't I?" Alex said, walking towards me as he blocked all of my attacks, including those coming from my clones. "I am stronger than you."

Angered by his hubris, I tried to push my advance harder, but before I could, Alex blurred out of sight, appearing in front of me, landing a clean hit to my body, right where my liver was located, sending my body flying across the planet, with a trail of blood that followed close behind.

"No matter what you do you will not defeat me, to me, you are nothing but a pathetic worm," Alex said, before erasing my clones with a simple wave of his arm.

"What a boast! Careful not to choke on your modesty brat! Then, again, I can't really fault you for being this confident, I mean, credit where it is due, you have really exceeded my expectations, by a big margin I'll admit," I laughed, my body healing as I stood up from the ground, glaring at him. "But, as I said before, I am far from done!"

"Far from done? Good, I haven't even started using my power," Alex replied, hardening his gaze at me with a confident air.

His hubris really knew no bounds.

He really thought he was stronger than me.

He would see!

No more playing around!

"Is that so?" I exclaimed, sneering. "Then allow me to correct your faulty disillusions! By showing you my real power!"

"Be a nice change of pace," Alex replied, with a cocky smile.

"We'll see!" I growled, my body suddenly exploding with power as I tapped into all there was to get from my realm, reaching my maximum power. Normally, I didn't enjoy using this amount of power, as I could only use it for a few minutes outside my realm, but a few minutes it's all I needed. "So, still confident?"

He would be the first being in eons to taste my full power.

I could hardly wait to see his cocky demeanor turn into one of despair before devouring him!
