As the fragments of the ancient hierarchy stone merged into Auren's body,
the world around him seemed to shift.
The air grew clearer,
sounds became sharper,
and suddenly—before him, a translucent screen hovered in the air,
inscribed in glowing pale-blue ancient script.

Auren stared at the screen with a mix of awe and dread.
> *"What is this...? Who created this system…? This isn't an ordinary hierarchy system."*
Suddenly, the screen trembled, and a new line appeared:
> **[New Notification]**
*"Welcome, Heir of Destiny."*
*"You have been granted a one-time opportunity to choose your 'Initial Path'—the path that will shape your future potential."*
---
**THREE CHOICES APPEARED ON THE SCREEN:**
1. **Path of the Sacred Knight**
Develops unbreakable physical strength and impregnable defense. Ideal for frontline battle leaders.
2. **Path of the Dark Magus**
Enhances forbidden arcane power and manipulative spells. Suited for sorcerers who defy natural laws.
3. **Path of the Lost Destiny**
An unknown path. Never before chosen. Risks and rewards remain undisclosed.

Auren clenched his fists.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead,
yet his gaze remained steady—fixed on the third option.
> *"If I merely follow the footsteps of others… I will never surpass them."*
*"I will choose the unknown path—one that has never existed before me."*
And so, he chose:
**Path of the Lost Destiny.**

The system screen shuddered violently.
Ancient symbols began swirling around Auren's body.
> **[Activation of Unknown Inheritance System… SUCCESS]**

And once more, a faint voice echoed in his ears…
formless, yet carrying an air of majesty and antiquity.
> *"The heavens once rejected you… but now, they await you."*
