Arjun sat in his private research facility, staring at the holographic interface projected by Meera. His body had evolved beyond human limits, but raw power alone wasn't enough. If he wanted to operate unseen and maintain absolute control over his creations, he needed something more refined—skills that transcended logic and reality.
"Meera," he said, his voice calm but resolute. "I need new abilities—ones that make me truly untouchable."
"Specify desired skill parameters."
He leaned forward, fingers steepled. "I want complete concealment, absolute loyalty from those I choose, perfect mastery of anything I touch, and the ability to copy and materialize powers from across the multiverse in card form."
There was a brief silence before Meera responded. "Compiling skill set. Constructing Omni-Concealment, Absolute Loyalty, Absolute Mastery, Absolute Perfection, and Multiverse Card Form Copy."
A glowing interface materialized before him, displaying five skills, each more powerful than the last.
---
1. Omni-Concealment
A skill that made him undetectable to all forms of perception—physical, technological, magical, or divine. No one, not even cosmic beings, could sense his presence unless he willed it.
"Effect: You are invisible to all forms of detection. No one can trace your actions, presence, or existence without your consent."
Arjun grinned. "Perfect. Now, onto the next."
---
2. Absolute Loyalty
This skill ensured that those under his command would remain unshakably loyal, incapable of betrayal or manipulation.
"Effect: Anyone you designate will possess unwavering loyalty toward you, resisting all forms of external influence, including mind control, divination, or forced coercion."
Arjun exhaled slowly. "This will ensure complete control over my organization. No loose ends."
---
3. Absolute Mastery
A skill that granted him instant and absolute proficiency in anything he learned, from combat to technology to esoteric arts.
"Effect: Upon acquiring any skill, knowledge, or ability, you instantly reach its peak level without practice."
His fingers curled into a fist. "That means no wasted time. I can master anything instantly."
---
4. Absolute Perfection
A passive enhancement that ensured everything he created, every move he made, and every action he took was executed at the highest possible level.
"Effect: Any action, creation, or decision you make will be executed flawlessly, beyond the limits of human or divine comprehension."
Arjun's heart pounded. This wasn't just power; this was perfection itself. "No more trial and error. Everything I do will be flawless."
---
5. Multiverse Card Form Copy
A skill that allowed him to extract abilities, skills, or traits from across the multiverse and store them in the form of collectible cards.
"Effect: Any ability, power, or trait you encounter can be copied into a physical card. These cards can be used, stored, or given to others, granting them temporary or permanent access to the copied abilities."
Arjun's eyes widened. "That means I can gather abilities from any world, any dimension, and use them at will."
Meera's voice echoed in his private chamber. "Skill set construction complete. Do you wish to integrate them now?"
Arjun didn't hesitate. "Do it."

Integration: Becoming the Apex Being
A surge of energy exploded through his body as the new skills took root. His mind expanded, processing information at impossible speeds. He could feel the shift in reality as his presence disappeared completely—Omni-Concealment had already taken effect.
Arjun lifted his hand, and with a simple thought, a glowing card materialized between his fingers. He smirked. Multiverse Card Form Copy is working.
He flexed his fingers, testing Absolute Mastery by picking up a random book on quantum physics. The moment his eyes skimmed the pages, the knowledge was his. Complete understanding in an instant.
He turned toward Meera. "Confirm skill functionality."
"All skills are active and fully operational."
Arjun closed his eyes, a sense of invincibility washing over him. He had become more than just a powerful entity. He was now an untouchable force.
The world wasn't ready for what he had become.
And no one would ever see him coming.
