'Hmm, maybe it might not be too bad. I can use [Reader's imagination] to my profit somehow.' Lying on his bed, Razael wondered to himself about his newly acquired skill.
{Skill details}
[Reader||Reader's Imagination]
Tier: S~SS
Ability: Allows the user to imagine the world as a reader and influence their own vision without limits. Real world is not affected by imagination.
Number of imaginations: 0
{Limit Count: 0/10}
"No matter how I look at it, it's a trash ability. Why is it even rated S rank? It even has a limit on how much I can imagine."
Razael kept brainstorming ways to use an ability like this.
"Hmm, if it can affect my vision but not the real world, couldn't I possibly get something like... X-ray vision?"
{Skill details}
Number of Imaginations: 1
{Limit Count: 1/10}
"Oh! The number went up! So does that mean I now have X-ray vision or what..?"

{Limit Count: 1/10}
"Holy shit that actually worked?! I was just playing around with it, though. Hmm, if this worked, then..."
Razael had a few theories to test. Even if the skill couldn't interfere with the real world, as long as his reality didn't interfere with reality, he could have unlimited potential.
*********
~Knock! Knock!~
"Uhh, can I come inside?"
Razael jolted out of his bed. One moment, he was playing around with his ability, and the next moment, a loud knock brought him back to reality.
Razael went and opened the door.
It was Adonis.
"Hey, man. What happened?" Razael asked. Seeing Adonis at his door was something he least expected.
He expected someone like Brutus since Razael disrespected the Royal Council.
"Can I... come inside?" Adonis asked.
Razael quickly looked at his room and then back at Adonis. "Uh, sure?" He stepped to the side, allowing Adonis to enter.
Adonis smiled softly and walked inside. He sat on Razael's bed, and Razael also sat beside him.

Razael's POV
I had just finished experimenting with my skill, finally feeling a bit satisfied, and decided to sleep for a bit.
But suddenly someone knocked on the door. I almost jumped out of the bed. The knock was so loud that I thought someone was breaking down the door, or maybe that was just the effect of my {Second imagination: Sense amplification}.
I opened the door hesitantly.
It was Adonis.
Oh man, why is it Adonis? I don't like this guy. His stupid hero complex led to the death of all his classmates more than one time. If I want to survive, I'd rather not stick with this guy. Not to mention, he's also very annoying.
"Can I... come inside?" He asked.
What the hell do you mean by coming into my room?! I don't want you here! Go away!
"Uh, sure?" but I didn't want to be rude to him so I let him in.
I stepped aside to let him in. As he passed beside me, he flashed me a smile.
His smile held nothing unusual, yet I felt an aching—as if I just glimpsed into a dreading sense of responsibility, surrounded by seemingly infinite waves of self-hate. It made me feel guilty about hating him.
Haha, no wonder he's so popular.
"So, why are you here?" I asked, sitting beside him on my bed.
"Just checking up on you. It looked like you were really worried about something when you ran out of the royal palace. Are you fine?" He asked, placing a hand on my shoulder.
Hmm, he was worried about me? That's... kind?
"Ah, yes, I'm fine..."
..Should I tell him the reason? Revealing a little bit should be fine, I guess.
"I, uh, had some changes in my ability."
"Really?! What is it?!" Adonis almost got on top of me in excitement. Why is HE so excited about my ability?
"It's, um, Perfect Divine Appraisal. That's my ability." It technicalled wasn't a lie.
Fifth Imagination: [Perfect Absolute Appraisal], Tier: SSS
Technically, I can't have an SSS rank appraisal in the real world. But who cares, It's my imagination.
I pushed Adonis off me. He also realised his inappropriate position and got off me with an embarrassed face.
I mean, sure, he's handsome, but I don't swing that way!
"Even if it's just appraisal, it will be very useful in this world," Adonis said to me.
"Hmm..." I was speechless. Why is this guy so happy about my skill? We barely even know each other.
"Razael, Please Listen to me. You were new to our class, and you suddenly got transferred to this world. I know you must be feeling very stressed out among all the strangers, but just trust me. We're your friends. I'll be your friend here, okay? Even if you can't get much stronger in this world, I'll protect you too. You're also our classmate." Adonis said, gripping my shoulders firmly and then hugging me.
"..."
I really had no words to say. I couldn't even understand what was happening.
What is he saying?
What is even happening here right now?
'[Perfect Absolute Appriasal]'
I activate my skill.
