Aleph’s near-death experien Chiba Academy wasn’t anything special… at first. He only had two achievements that were deemed to be ‘special’ enough for the achievement hunter to reward him with the Embryonic Power System and the Random Box that gave him the Evolution Cube.
No matter how amazing a ‘thing’ is, it would most likely still fall on the rules of equivalent exge. Forcibly giving Aleph a reward in advance should have affected its normal operations.
Thus, it leaves two options out: either it possessed an unfathomable in or it ‘ed’ something.
[Singurity: Influenbsp;aire world with your existence for the first time.]
‘Aponia told me that the future threads were momentarily vague, thearted spiraling out of their inal futures. If so, I could take it as my existence affeg the world’s future. But then, it shouldn’t be as simple as that…’
Aleph thought for a while and couldn’t e to a clear clusion. All he knew was that his entry to Honkai Impact 3rd ged the present and future. A deeper reasos as to why he was being treated like that.
It took a while until he remembered one of his dreams.
‘Colorful light. Albion told this to me twice. Was it my soul? Am I unique? Ugh… I should ask him if I could.’
Unfortunately, he couldn’t reach out to Albion.
His clear statement of meeting Aleph in his “moment of transdence” made it clear he wouldn’t be able to meet the dragon until he “transds”.
These deep thoughts ensued until he found himself back to reality. He was still fused about many things, such as the appearance of this “hidden achievement”. It only appeared when he gaihe adaptation to plex information.
In the end, he could only sigh.
“There are still things up ahead. I shouldn’t let my guard down.”
Just then, he saw several bat jets ing over to his position. Aleph marveled at Izumo’s rea time… when he found his surroundings ging for the sed time.
It was as if the sky fell. The blue patches of the sky dropped to the ground. The same thing happeo the huge crater around him, as well as the trees and soil in his viity.

Aleph looked down and saw water-like bck fluid. His refle was extremely clear on it.
He looked up and sace filled with darkness. A huge bck sphere resent, which emitted a subtle glow of white light. It formed an outlio the said sphere, f ahereal sight.
However, he was in no mood to enjoy it.
‘...I k. Seeing the worst possibilities still sucks.’
Fortunately, Aleph wasn’t ‘ejected’ in this insta. It meant that he wasn’t in any fatal danger.

{Annou: Entry to an unknown locatioed. Sing…}
It didn’t take long freat Sage to spit out an initial result.
{Result: The location has a 100% match to the event horizon. plex information has beeed, most of which are reted to the entity named ‘IX’ iabase.}
Horizon of Existence.
It ce that Acheron used to obliterate enemies in a single cycle. acks of her ultimate was enough to solve all problems.

In the simplest terms, this pce could influeneoo seek the end, ironically ending not only their lives, down to their existences.
Noh was in that very pce.
‘Hm… It’s taking a toll on my avaible resources, but it’s better.’
Akin to a transtor, the adaptation to plex information removed their ability to cause injuries to him. The information he gained from these things were still scrambled, but they could be dissected one by oo gain valuable knowledge.

Aleph was certain he already took two hueps, yet the sight did not ge o.
“Hm..?”
He looked down on his feet and saw it was glowing. The indescribable light gave him no time to react when it crept up to his entire body.
Before he k, the bck water on his feet cracked. Bright white light crept up from the cracks. It extended up to the bck hole in the distance.
Crack-!
Shatter-!
Aleph could not speak. He blinked and found himself ba his inal position. The bat jets were positioned where he saw them.
‘I feel tired…’
His mind became extremely heavy. It was the first time he felt ‘fatigued’ for a long time.
With a thought, his body disappeared.
Three mier, the pilots of the bat jets begaing what they saw to the mission trol.
“e again?”
“The ey was gone. Even the source of kamis disappeared.”
The operator could only stare at the statistics presented on the s. Three minutes ago, they detected a rge-scale spatial disturbance.
For reasons unknown, gravity was increased to an unimaginable degree, bending space to aent never seen before.
When the operator checked the satellite feed, however, she saw nothing.
Click.
Click.
“Huh..?”
The s showed a ruined city. Within the moment, it ht disappeared.
Without any signs, it disappeared. There weren’t any visual indicators—no huge bck holes, explosions, and the likes.
The city was wiped off the man by an eraser.
Even the first dest of the kamis in the form of meteorites wasn't as “creepy” as this.
“What is this..?”
*****
“Sir?”
Mei fell silent. She stared at Aleph who was ying on the ground. He was sleeping orance of the house. He couldn’t even remove his geta. Half of his body was lying on the floor where all of the slippers and other footwear were stored.
She took off her shoes and squatted down with a ft face. When she found out that he was only sleeping, she decided to carry him to the couch.
“Mn…”
She struggled for a while before she carried him with both of her arms. Much to her surprise, he didn’t weigh heavily. It was trary to her expectations.
‘Sir Aleph… a visitor from afar…’
