In an empty area where only a massive tower stood, a seventeen-year-old boy with wavy black hair that covered his eyes stood above it, wearing a black turtleneck that doubled as a mask, concealing his nose and mouth.

He was Song Yeok, a living legend at the age of seventeen.

A disaster that had already surpassed countless bloodlines.

A prodigy among prodigies.

A talent that surpassed Jin, Jester, and many other top tier talents.

Usually, two talents are born in the same era and one talent appears once in a long lifetime in the same universe. From Song’s original world, Song had already surpassed the three at once without a blessing and without any resources. It was as if he existed to break everything and threaten everything.

And yes, Song is a transmigrator to this world. He escaped from a pursuit when he was eight years old and transferred here with his original body and age.

He has not only surpassed the beginning of Youscence 3 and managed to stabilize this power by reaching Tier 22, but now he is aiming for a bigger goal.

Which means he is going to reach Youscence 4 soon, before the age of twenty.

Something no human at his age had ever achieved in the lower realms.

Not only that, but he had founded his own path by his own desire. It was a path made only for him specifically. No one could learn it or copy it.

And he had already created his own organization called the Paradox Circle.

“I think the time is finished.”

He reached out and touched the massive magical barrier, making some sparks surround it as he touched it.

In less than five seconds, he had completely negated it.

This was not a normal magical barrier. It took at least five mages from the Transcendent state, the peak of Youscence 2 which equals Tier 20, for one total month to form it, but that did not work on Song, who had already analyzed it, broken its sequence, and detected all weaknesses in less than five seconds.

And due to his actions, a massive emergency erupted inside the tower.

“Archbishop, we have an intruder. The magical barrier has been destroyed. One of the fellows responsible for the tower defense system has reported it.”

“How is that possible?”

The leader expanded his spiritual domain and detected an enormous amount of energy coming from someone standing in the sky. However, the person above quickly noticed him and smiled as he released an intense killing intent that forced the leader to spit blood.

“Damn it. They dare to attack the White Magic Tower. The leader shouted and ordered the activation of total destruction mode.”

“Whoever did this cannot be ordinary. Request assistance from the neighboring tower.”

“Activate all summoning protocols!”

“Only an Eternal Mage Level, Tier 30, could disable something like that.”

The Archbishop of Mages of the White Magic Tower muttered as fear spread inside his body from the overwhelming threat.

The towers in the magic world are divided into one hundred towers.

The tower here was ranked seventieth.

However, it was considered an anomaly because there was another tower beside it ranked eightieth, only ten kilometers away.

It was the only tower among the hundred that had another tower so close.

If the power of both towers were combined, they would reach the level of a fiftieth ranked tower.

“Archbishop.”

“The other tower is under attack.”

“Damn it.”

“I will handle this personally.”

“Summon the other grand mages to follow me.”

The Archbishop arrived at the tower plaza and looked upward.

He saw a young man floating in the air.

“Time to hunt,” Song muttered as he descended.

He was falling head first, but before hitting the ground he flipped his body and landed smoothly with both hands in his pockets.

“You look too young to be an Eternal Mage.”

“Does a rat like you dare enter the White Ivory Tower alone.”

Song looked around and saw that he was surrounded by one hundred grand mages at Tier 20 and an Archbishop at Tier 25 and three aura knights from Tier 21.

Yet none of this instilled any fear in Song. To him, it was completely normal.

“So you are the scoundrel who destroyed Tower 100 and Tower 90,” the Archbishop muttered with hate and disgust.

Song did not reply.

He pulled out his left hand and yawned.

Then he began walking toward the Archbishop.

Ten mages began forming a massive fire magic circle to launch an attack.

Song looked at the massive magical orbs they were summoning, then activated his ability, converting everything into puzzle pieces and reversing their arrangement by substituting the center reversing puzzle.

The magic circles generated a reversed explosion, sending the Ten mages flying back, severely injured.

“So you are all Blessed Mages, not Grimoires Mages. The last tower I fought had Grimoires’ founders and users.”

Song planted his foot and moved toward the Archbishop to kill him, but the three aura knights leaped at him.

He charged his hand with a mysterious white energy that deflected their master attacks with one hand while the other was still in his pocket, reached the Archbishop instantly, and delivered a knee strike to his stomach.

The Archbishop activated a substitution circle and was sent far away.

Song jumped after him.

“Oh, spatial manipulation magic. But there is something you do not know.”

Song had Simulated the mage’s magic circle and stole a fragment of the caster’s mind in the form of a puzzle piece.

Then he crushed it.

He canceled all magical circles in the area.

Song began floating and raised his hand as puzzle pieces formed.

He had simulated most of the magic of those around him.

Ten magic circles surrounded everyone.

Song raised his left hand and released them.

Ten massive fireballs obliterated the surroundings and killed twenty mages.

“It seems you take me as a joke as I do not know what your second plan is.”

Song moved toward the tower.

He controlled the teleportation magic he had disabled.

He raised his left hand toward the tower and sent some of his aura that destroyed it along with everyone inside.

“Do you think I would let you gather research and stall time until the top ten mages of this tower arrive or even let you use disastrous summons or weapons.”

“Destruction.”

The moment Song uttered the word, the tower and everyone within it were annihilated.

A massive tremor followed, then a ring of light appeared above, erasing the tower until only vapor remained.

Everyone inside was dead.

Song brushed the dust off his clothes and put his hand back in his pocket.

Seventy mages remained, mentally shattered, along with the tower leader and the three knights.

Their morale was completely destroyed.

That was because Song had negated their soul mirror skill, so they could not use it.

Song raised his hand again and activated teleportation circles using his left hand and feet.

A blood circle descended upon the seventy mages and knights as they were unconscious of their surroundings. This was an ability simulated from Foxy, a follower of Song and a genius and mysterious prodigy he recruited.

Severed hands, crushed skulls, and broken fingers scattered everywhere.

All of this while his right hand remained in his pocket.

Not a single drop of blood stained Song’s body or clothes.

Song had eliminated everyone around him, leaving the Mage Leader for last.

Then he approached him.

“You are nothing but a cover,” Song muttered as he had already discovered everything.

“So they really did not choose a new Archbishop for this place. You are just a cover until the new Archbishop comes.”

“It seems you were either a fraud or just something to buy time until the real one comes.”

The Mage Leader did not move from fear. He was trying to gain some time, but Song had already discovered everything.

“I think this is a trap to drag me out.”

“Haaaaa haa as expected.”

An arrogant calm laugh escaped Song’s mouth, sending shivering fear into the Archbishop.

Song put his hand on the Archbishop’s head and tore it off without letting the blood touch him.

Anyway, once the announcement of this tower being destroyed appears, it will be enough to start a war between the Thaloria and Renvall kingdoms, which will shake the balance of the Succession War of the empire and make the nobles start new plans.

It appears the ten elite mages are not coming, so this was a trap as I expected but they do not pose any threat to the current me.

Fine.

I will wait.

Song sat atop a pile of corpses from one hundred mages and three knights he had killed.

It seems The Apex Alliance has set its eyes on me.

Good.

History is repeating itself again. Let them send everything they have: people, demons, assassins, dragons, and kingdoms. I will sit on their corpses, the corpses of those who stood in my way.

They should learn that a legend has been born, and he will rise above all of them. Let them come. I will let them witness why I am called the peak.

Reader’s Archive:

Why knights exist in a magic tower is due to an agreement between the knights and the magicians of this era. At least three or more from the other side should be inside each institute, but the minimum should be three.

Paradox Physic Body (Paradox Constitution):

Paradox Physic is not merely a normal physical body but an entire system, a fundamental existence that embodies contradiction itself.

It was founded by Song Yeok alone.

He is the only being who possesses this body, and as such, he is no longer bound by the natural structure of reality. His flesh, mind, and existence operate under conflicting truths, allowing him to exist in states that should be impossible.

While ordinary beings obey the laws of reality, the Paradox Physic Body forces reality into contradiction, creating instability in causality, existence, and logic itself.

To possess this body is not to wield power.

It is to become a flaw in reality.

A Paradox bearer does not surpass the laws of the world.

They exist as something those laws cannot define.

Core Traits of the Paradox Body:

Unlike normal abilities, these are not learned. They are innate functions of the body itself.

1ـ Paradox Existence

The body naturally exists in a dual contradictory state.

The user is both present and absent simultaneously.

Physical and metaphysical targeting becomes unreliable.

Attacks may both succeed and fail at once.

The body itself rejects a singular definition.

2ـ Causality Reversal

The body disrupts cause and effect at a fundamental level.

Injuries may appear before the attack occurs.

Actions may follow outcomes instead of creating them.

The user’s existence interferes with causal order.

Around this body, time loses its direction.

3ـTime Fragmentation

The body is not fixed to a single temporal point.

Multiple temporal states coexist within the same vessel.

Past, present, and possible futures overlap.

Killing one state does not erase the others.

The body exists across time, not within it. It may even appear as if the user exists in a time of his own.

4ـContradiction Field

The body constantly emits a passive distortion field.

The laws of motion, force, and logic become unstable nearby.

Opponents’ abilities may invert or malfunction.

Reality becomes inconsistent within proximity.

The closer you are, the less reality makes sense.

5ـ Paradox Collapse

When contradictions accumulate, the body triggers annihilation.

Targets are erased from existence.

Their timeline collapses entirely.

No trace of them remains.

The body does not kill. It deletes.

6ـ Identity Split

The body contains multiple overlapping identities.

Several valid versions of the user exist simultaneously. Each may hold different states or outcomes. No single version can be confirmed as true.

During combat, this phenomenon intensifies. The user can exist across the past, present, and future at the same time, but only within the scope of battle.

This allows him to react, attack, and adapt from multiple temporal states simultaneously, making it nearly impossible to predict or counter his actions.

7ـ Observer Break

Rooted conceptually in observation theory.

The body resists definitive observation.

Until confirmed, its state remains undefined.

The outcome collapses into the most favorable state.

Observation is no longer an option. It is a risk that may lead to death.

8ـAbsolute Paradox True Form

The complete awakening of the Paradox Body.

All external laws fail to apply.

Reality cannot stabilize around the user.

Any attempt to restrict or define the user collapses.

Final Concept:

Run.
