Farou is a little surprised and adjusts his glasses, saying:
"Ow I did not think so, well, no problem, since that is your choice then it is fine"
Max speaks and says:
"Which pathway are you from, Farou?"
Farou smiles then says:
"I am from the Pathway of Flood, sequence 6, the Transcendent Alchemist. By the way, your name is Max, right?"
Max is surprised then says:
"Yes, how did you know?"
Farou laughs a light laugh and confirms that Xia had been talking about him before.
Max thinks a little then says:
"Xia, which pathway is she from, come on?"
Farou speaks then says:
"Almost no one knows, except the leaders, that she is the direct subordinate of the Lord of the Blue Star Region, and she is from the same pathway as you and her power is unknown. She uses mysterious and strange magic as far as I know"
Max thinks a little and tries to analyze the situation.
Then Farou puts the energies on top of each other and speaks strange incomprehensible words while Max focuses and hopes that his plan succeeds.
Preparation of the potion for sequence 7 of the Cosmic Consciousness pathway, the Reader sequence, finishes, shimmering with every possible existential color logically possible.
Farou speaks and asks Max to drink the potion.
Max sighs and smiles in Farou's face, then grasps the potion and says to himself:
"[The moment I drink this thing, the energy pathways will open suddenly. I must exploit that and extend it with the power of possibility and my own possible world. In other words, I will create a pathway of my own only. It will be somewhat similar in the lower sequences of the Cosmic Consciousness pathway, but that is a risk. If time betrays me, I will become a thread in his hand officially]"
Farou smiles then says:
"Come on, drink so the energy flows in your body"
Max becomes slightly tense, grips the potion, and drinks it quickly.
He closes his eye while Farou orders him to focus and try to perceive the potion.
Max then tries to extend his own power of possibility and modify the geometry of that pathway to create a pathway from another pathway, a pathway dyed only with his own energy and not restricted or monitored by the entity called I am who I am.
His transcendent existence begins absorbing the power of the potion, and with blazing speed Max exploits that moment and extends the power of possibility that activated at the moment of the power flow to interweave the energies within him.
And suddenly Max loses consciousness while Farou is shocked and asks Max to resist.
Suddenly, inside Max's consciousness, something unmatched manifests, wholly transcendent, wearing a veil of golden mist, standing before Max.
And without a single word the entity grabs Max and begins squeezing him while Max's inner entity is powerless and unable to do anything, and the potion's will begins imposing itself upon Max's existence with full force.
Max begins losing consciousness while hearing the voices of the entities within him, some suffering and some not, some evil and some kind, some existing and some whose role has ended. An endless cycle of life and death, existence and nothingness, strength and weakness. All that cycle is "beauty itself." Every entity that dies brings another entity in its place. Every entity that becomes nothing brings another existence in its place. Every entity that becomes weak brings a strong one in its place. This is elevation and acceptance of life inside Max's consciousness.
Suddenly the possible power of possibility and the possible world enter Max, leaving the entity and making Max feel a strange sensation.
Max opens his eye and at that moment looks toward his existence wrapped in silverish-black energy filled with countless black and white stars.
The mysterious entity speaks and says:
"You are trying to trespass upon my sanctity. I am the will of the potion. How dare you alter the pathway? That is a crime deserving something worse than absolute erasure of existence"
Max does not answer and feels a strange sensation as if the will and power of possibility itself, all of it inside his body, all abilities of his world, all consciousness in his world, have merged with him completely within his consciousness.
Max raises his hand, pointing it toward the entity, then whispers and says:
"So that is the power of a single page only, I wonder how my power will be when I realize all logically possible worlds and all logically possible possibilities"
The potion's will becomes furious and rushes toward Max to destroy his consciousness from within.
The entity's hand extends and tries to punch Max in the face, and with absolute simplicity Max automatically shifts in front of it, or in another sense the entity itself, when it tried to strike him, advanced in front of him as if Max were merely an illusion.
Max looks with his strange eye and strange form resembling the form that Lord Moon saw at the moment history was revealed, and then the potion's will begins to vanish and grows angry and says:
"You will regret this greatly. The true creator will never abandon you, you successful experiment, you pathway to him, hahaha"
The entity disappears and Max wakes up suddenly before Farou.
Farou speaks quickly and says:
"Max, are you alright? Answer me"
Max feels nothing, as if he had not drunk the potion, while his eye has become silverish-black, filled with countless tiny black and white stars.
Max speaks and says:
"Huh? What just happened? I do not remember anything"
Farou sighs then says:
"You lost consciousness. It is good that you are fine. Tell me now, how do you feel?"
Max replies and says:
"I do not feel anything at all"
With surprise Farou uses his Essence Glasses to see him, seeing a silverish-black aura with stars surrounding him, and he is extremely shocked.
Max notices that and says:
"Huh? What is it? Is there something?"
Farou holds a sheet on which the color of the four auras is shown, where the red color is the aura of instability, the blue color is the aura of calmness, the purple color is the demonic aura, and the golden color is the sacred aura.
Farou speaks, raising his eyebrows, and says:
"This is strange. Your aura color is surreal and cosmic. It is silverish-black with strange white and black dots that shine and disappear like a glitter. I have never seen an aura like that before"
Farou thinks a little, then Max speaks and says:
"Is it over, right?"
Farou replies and says:
"Yes, now you are from the Cosmic Consciousness pathway, sequence 7, the Reader. You can read surface thoughts, analyze intentions, and learn cognitive skills in an instant without ever forgetting anything. You surpass any human ability in this world, and of course you can also see the essence and the entities veiled from the world of chaos"
Max is surprised and says:
"But I do not see anything?"
Max distracts Farou's thinking, who speaks and says:
"You must think about activating the ability to see the entities veiled from the world of chaos, where the evil and pure entities are, so that you can see them"
Max activates that ability through thought, and the boundaries of his vision change and expand greatly, as he sees giant whales flying outside and heavenly dragons and a strange frog on the table, causing him to panic and shake the table, which makes the frog run away.
And while Farou is thinking, Max looks toward him and sees a terrifying eye looking at him from above, a golden eye.
He speaks in fear and says:
"What is that thing, that eye above you, what is it?"
Farou is confused and says:
"What? I do not see anything at all through the Essence Glasses"
Suddenly a message arrives to Farou from Xia, ordering Max to come immediately.
Farou speaks and asks Max to leave now and head toward the office at the end of the corridor.
Max cancels seeing the entities by stopping the intention to do so, and Farou takes Max out of the room.
"[I escaped the potion's will, and its composition changed, and it seems the effect of the difference led to my ability to see things more than others]"
Max sighs and stands at the door at the end of the corridor and says to himself:
"[I feel a strange sensation as if another page is about to fall from the lotus flower to create another possibility and another possible world, and I feel that the abilities Farou mentioned are not exactly what I can do. I now see those abilities as different and somewhat similar to the abilities of the Reader]"
Max focuses and sees what is inside him, where in his consciousness there are different abilities, where he can see mathematical patterns, links, and hidden threads connecting them to one another, and another strange mysterious thing far away from the memory that never forgets.
Max opens the door to find Xia sitting on the office chair, and Xia speaks directly and says:
"Are you ready for your first mission?"
Max confirms that and asks her to explain the purpose of that organization in the first place.
Xia replies and says:
"The purpose of that organization is to destroy the inevitability that awaits everything. You already remember the text that I left for you specifically in the Arabic language that no one can read except you?"
Max confirms that, and Xia continues and says:
"We are trying to prevent that apocalypse from happening in any way possible, and there are also other mysterious organizations following a mysterious entity trying to hasten the occurrence of that apocalypse. They must be stopped, and you, Max, are under watch and must always be under my eye so that you can be protected. Therefore, someone will be sent with you to make sure of that"
Another person enters the office with blue hair and a short black beard.
Xia smiles and says:
"Welcome, Clark. This is Max, the one I told you about"
Clark smiles and shakes Max's hand, then Xia continues and says:
"Alright then"
.Xia takes out 3000 coins from the shelf and his detective badge in the office, then says:
"This is your monthly salary. We give it in advance to new awakened ones for the first 3 months, and it can increase. Work harder, get more money. It is simple"
Max takes the money, then Xia speaks and says:
"Your first mission is simply in a place near the Star Hotel, specifically the white building that appears from your room in the hotel. There has been a mysterious murder case there for an unknown reason. Your mission is to catch the killer or identify him"
Max replies and says:
"Alright, but I work alone"
Xia falls silent for several moments and looks toward Clark calmly, a brief glance, then says:
"No problem, I respect your decision. You can leave now"
Max leaves the room while Clark stands beside Xia, who smiles slyly and says:
"Watch him and make sure he is safe, and also try to find out what that boy is hiding, because I feel that he is hiding something strange and mysterious"
Clark smiles and says:
"Alright, madam, leave that matter to me"
Max hears all those words and gives a light laugh, whispering:
"We will see who is playing whom, hahaha"
