Ten Lucky Draws: I Became OP

Chapter 279: The Bestowal of Powers

Aurora was mature enough to see that Ash was trying to switch the subject.

Usually, she would probably tease him to no ends, but after Training for a few years she was beyond ready to leave the Sacred Dimension.

So, she simply went with the flow and smiled. Her katana disappeared as she walked forward until she threw herself onto Ash and Sonna with a smile.

“The multiverse, now!” She said as she didn’t even have to elaborate further. Although Ash and the others were having… sex during her training. How could Fourth Dimensional beings truly not multitask?

Now, while the women were truly out of it… Ash, he paid close attention to know that Aurora had mastered everything thoroughly. She didn’t comprehend their concepts; she simply mastered every bit of knowledge the concepts held.

Sonna and Ash smiled as they stood up fully.

“Alright, we will first go to the Originat Multiverse.” Ash said before he looked towards Sonna.

He smirked as it had been quite a while since the Originats were on the scene. Well, that was just for them as mentioned before the Sacred Dimension didn’t operate on a time continuum.

So, while roughly eleven thousand years had passed from their perspective, that number only existed because the Originat Multiverse ran at a hundred times the speed.

In reality, outside their Lower Dimension, barely a millennium had slipped by.

“You and the others go and prepare for a meeting. Have everyone gather in the Originat Haven.”

Sonna’s lips curled into a mischievous smile as she slipped closer, looping her arms around his.

“Fufufu… love, you know my sisters will need a few years to recover.”

Ash exhaled through his nose, shaking his head with a helpless sort of amusement.

“I spoil you guys too much.”

Before he could say more, Sonna vanished—her presence fading as effortlessly as a breath. He knew they would take time to prepare, but that was already accounted for.

Ash always had other plans in motion.

He reached out, gently taking Aurora’s hand.

The moment their fingers intertwined, the Sacred Dimension folded around them, and the two of them disappeared.

—-

When they reappeared, they stood in the vast void between universes.

Aurora didn’t gasp or stare in awe—she’d long grown familiar with the distinct appearances of her mother’s and uncle’s universes.

Still, the sheer quantity before her was staggering.

Her gaze swept across the endless expanse.

To a Fourth Dimensional being, universes looked like thin sheets of paper drifting in a cosmic breeze—easy to count, easy to read, impossible to mistake.

“Daddy… there’s three hundred thousand universes in your Lower Dimension?” she asked, her eyes narrowing as she double‑checked the number shimmering in her vision.

Ash folded his arms, following her gaze. “Quite a number indeed.”

He said it casually, as if commenting on the weather, but the number stirred something in him—a thought blooming, followed by a stream of information rising to the forefront of his mind.

Aurora tilted her head, watching him with quiet curiosity as the void around them pulsed with the presence of countless worlds.

’Eh? Universes in the Lower Dimension have been disappearing?’

The thought flickered through Ash’s mind, sharp enough to pull his attention inward.

He had always known his Lower Dimension was… unusual. It was obvious after it had evolved and expanded.

But was the difference really this exaggerated?

Three hundred thousand universes here…. and just over eight thousand outside.

The numbers didn’t line up—until more information surfaced, unbidden, threading itself through his thoughts.

There had been more once.

Thirty thousand, to be exact. It made sense; even during the era of the Dragon of Absolute Ending, more than eight thousand universes had existed.

He was sinking deeper into that realization when a tug on his sweats snapped him back.

“Get out of your thoughts already!” Aurora huffed, puffing her cheeks in a playful pout as she pulled on the fabric again.

Ash blinked, then smiled—soft, amused, and a little apologetic.

He let the lingering thoughts fade for now.

There would be time to unravel them later.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he summoned a cluster of grapes, then lowered himself into a cross‑legged seat in the void.

Aurora raised a brow, watching him settle in. Before she could ask, Ash spoke.

“Rora, you’re free to explore the entire Originat Multiverse. But I won’t be coming along. Treat it as part of your training.” He summoned the codex, its pages shimmering with ancient light.

Aurora’s lip twitched in protest. “But Daddy! Wouldn’t it be better if we did it together?” she asked, dramatically throwing her arms out—but the longing behind her voice was real.

She wanted to explore with him, not alone.

Ash’s expression softened, but his resolve didn’t waver. He didn’t want his presence to be directly felt by the inhabitants of his multiverse—not yet.

Why?

Well, he simply didn’t want to—it was as straightforward as that.

Ash smiled faintly as he began writing into his codex, the surface glowing softly under his touch. It was time to use another ability for the first time.

Powers.

“Rora, I promise I’ll make it up to you. Think of this as the final stage of your training. After this, I’ll personally show you around the outside Multiverse,” he said, his hand still moving steadily across the codex.

“However, right now, I need your help.”

Aurora’s posture shifted instantly.

The dramatic flair vanished as she scooted forward and sat directly in front of him, her eyes focused.

Ash almost laughed—she always reacted this way when he said he needed something.

Even though, in truth, this situation wasn’t much different from the others. He could do it alone… but he wanted something shaped without his direct influence.

“Of course I don’t mind exploring the multiverse alone,” she said, her tone flipping completely from moments before.

Ash chuckled under his breath, then continued.

“It’s simple—you’ll create a power system. The multiverse is full of all kinds of creatures, all part of our Primavus bloodline. They’re far beyond the ordinary races they originate from. I want you to explore… and learn.”

He paused, lifting his eyes to meet hers.

“Then you’ll craft your own power system, blending their knowledge with your imagination. I have no restrictions for you—only that its potential must be limitless.”

Aurora tilted her head, absorbing the task. She didn’t know where to begin, but she never doubted she could do it.

“Is that all?” she asked, her voice soft and melodic.

“That’s all. But before you begin, I have something for you.”

Ash smiled as he completed giving Aurora the first power of the codex.

All this time, he had been grasping the intricacies of bestowing powers, and it caught him off guard—it was far more detailed than he had imagined.

Powers were fundamentally different from any other force in existence.

They weren’t skills that demanded affinities or the approval of reality, with mana restrictions tacked on.

They weren’t like Talents born from Physiques, Aspects, or Bloodlines either.

Nor were they Traits… not exactly, anyway.

Traits and Powers could both technically stem from Ash’s imagination, but Traits still relied on elements already tied to reality—mana being the most common example.

Powers, on the other hand, gave him something closer to a restriction system, one he could adjust and define however he wished.

They were, quite literally, something born from nothing. A gift he could hand to a toddler—who would then have the strength to destroy a mountain.

After studying them, he settled on a straightforward structure: four stages, Tier 1 through Tier 4, each representing a more intense level of overpowered ability.

The only way to move up the tiers was simple—use the power more often.

Once the system was fully developed, those with powers would eventually receive something like a status. For now, the sub‑nexuses would continue handling that role.

There was no true limit to what powers could achieve; each tier simply unlocked deeper knowledge of the ability, allowing the wielder to grow increasingly limitless in its use.

Aurora waited patiently as Ash etched the final words onto the blank page.

There was no dramatic burst of energy, no cosmic phenomenon—only a subtle glow that shimmered around her for a moment before fading.

Ash lifted his gaze, studying her expression as he appraised her.

[Aurora Originat

Age – 28 Years Old

Traits – Infinite Mana

Race – Prime Primavus (Primavus Bloodline of Origin (???))

Powers – Song of Birth

Trans-Concepts – Melogenesis]

[Melogenesis – The transcendent concept in which melody becomes the essence of genesis itself. It embodies creation through harmony, birth through resonance, and existence shaped by sound.]

[Song of Birth (Tier 1) – The power to sing songs of creation. Each song manifests creations formed entirely from conceptual-based items.]

“Hm… I feel like something changed, but it’s not too much?” Aurora murmured, turning her hands over as if the difference might reveal itself through touch alone.

Ash’s smile was calm, knowing.

Powers didn’t alter a person—not their mind, not their body. They simply allowed the user to wield them safely.

Even if a Tier Four power could erase existence itself, the wielder would remain unharmed, mortal or not.

“Don’t worry,” he said, his tone steady as he continued writing in the codex. “You’ll learn to use them soon enough. Just follow the nexus directions.”

He finished the last stroke of the page before looking up.

“Now, you’re free to go. I’ll be waiting here until you finish.”

Aurora nodded once, her earlier curiosity shifting into determination.

Without hesitation, she turned and departed, her figure slipping away into the vastness as she began her exploration of the Originat Multiverse.
