Becoming Overpowered!
"Wait... What? When did this happen? When I was inside the projection of the God's Domain? But why give these alerts now?" Ewaan's confusion was evident as he questioned the System, Great Sage.
But, unbeknownst to him, more were on their way…

"Wait, stop, stop! ‹Great Sage›" Frustration etched in his voice, as Ewaan called upon the System, waving his hands in exasperation.
Ting~ [How may I assist you?]
Ewaan's voice carried a tone of authority as he issued his command to the Great Sage, "From now on, only give me alerts that are very important for me... Very, very important!"
Ting~ [Understood...]
With a sigh, he then utilized "‹STATURE›" to check his stats.

"HOLY?!?" The exclamation escaped his stoic demeanor, an unusual burst of emotion triggered by the realization that encountering deities had significantly impacted his stats.
"Are these... genuinely the stats for an average huma—Oh, hold on! I've been evolved into a High Human? What on earth does that even mean for me?"
The deadpan delivery clashed comically with the profound implications of his newfound and surprisingly exciting evolution as a High Human.
– Did I abandoned my humanity in pursuit of power? Seriously, What were they thinking? And...
Ewaan pondered with a mix of incredulity and concern as he grappled with the implications of his newfound abilities.
"Are these supposed to be the abilities of someone who's at Level 2?" he muttered in disbelief, his tone laced with skepticism.
– Maya gained some skills and a new attribute, but her level also remained at 1! Could her stats also be like mine?
He pondered aloud, considering the implications of their shared experiences.
With a heavy sigh, he quickly commanded with his mind to access the ‹Skills› interface, recalling Maya's own acquisition of abilities after receiving favour from the Goddess of Love.

°°°
Ewaan's eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed in astonishment, "These are... my skills...?"
As a recently ordinary boy, who was just content after receiving money, his newfound skills and abilities astound him.
While gently touching his chin in a pensive gesture, he murmured, "Come to think of it, this is my first time checking my skills. Now, I don't know which were my previous skills and which ones I gained after my encounter with those deities... But I can say for sure that the skills labeled as unique skills are what they bestowed upon me."
As he was glaring at his skills, he couldn't help but notice something peculiar. "Pain Resistance? ‹Great Sage›, what's the difference between Pain Resistance and Pain Nullification?" He inquired, puzzled by the distinction between the two abilities.
Ting~ [‹Pain Resistance› reduces sensitivity to pain, allowing one to endure discomfort to a certain extent without being overly affected. On the other hand, ‹Pain Nullification› blocks the pain signals, rendering the individual impervious to physical discomfort.]
"Maya obtained the Pain Nullification skill after she emerged from the Chamber. Is it that I'm simply unlucky, or…" Ewaan's voice trailed off, his gaze falling downward. "Did she endured even greater pain than I did?" he murmured, his brows furrowing in somber contemplation.
It wasn't just about luck, but the thought that Maya might have endured more pain than him stirred an ache in his heart. A notion he found difficult to bear.
After regaining his composure, he took a deep breath. "‹Great Sage›, tell me about my innate skill, Sage," he spoke with his usual stoic demeanor.
Ting~ [‹Sage›, a skill bestowed upon the Hero Ewaan Tempest by the God of Creation. When utilized, the user gains the ability to create any skills and abilities, contingent upon the availability of sufficient mana.]
"I can create whatever skills I want?" His eyes sparkled with newfound potential, the reflection of endless possibilities shimmering within them.
Yet his face steadfastly held a stoic demeanor. "That's a pretty Overpowered skill Akwan bestowed upon me!" he remarked, impressed by the magnitude of his newfound abilities. "And what about Pro Gamer? Tell me," he inquired, his tone reflecting a hint of anticipation.
Ting~ [‹Pro Gamer›, a skill bestowed upon the hero Ewaan Tempest by the God of Entertainment. When activated, it allows the user to perceive their surroundings as a player and instantaneously master any abilities.]
"That's also an Overpowered skill... well, considering these are God-tier skills, I shouldn't be so surprised, but still," Ewaan remarked, a tiny smile gracing his lips beneath his stoic expression.
"He didn't say that just to make me feel better. I truly have surpassed my past self by leaps and bounds! I am no longer an ordinary high school student. I can once again protect my family with my own will!"
