"An Erudition Main DPS with massive AoE damage? The strongest Main DPS of this version? I'm curious to see how you justify that," Lumina scoffed softly, intrigued as she continued watching the video.

The video showed Stelle chatting with Herta at the Space Station, discussing Lumina.

"First, Lumina's identity as a Pathstrider of Abundance is confirmed by Herta herself. This is also documented in the Archive, so there's no debate there."

"However, her status as an Emanator of Abundance isn't explicitly stated. Herta only used the word 'suspected' when asked about it."

As the content creator spoke, the video transitioned to the CGI scene of Lumina confronting the Lord Ravager head-on.

"But based on this CGI and Lumina's appearance after defeating the Doomsday Beast, we can infer that even when facing a Lord Ravager directly—though we don't know the details of the battle or its outcome—Lumina emerged only slightly disheveled. It's clear she's no ordinary person."

"Therefore, Lumina must be an Emanator, and most likely an Emanator of Abundance."

"My evidence comes from the main story text: 'Lumina seeks no reward, unconditionally healing all life.'"

"Honestly, compared to Abundance, I think she's more like an Emanator of Life. But since there's no Aeon of Life in the game, she has to be Abundance."

"I'll stand by this. Everyone, take a screenshot and save it. If Lumina isn't ultimately revealed to be an Emanator of Abundance, I'll eat..."

"Does he think the audience is stupid? Eat what? Just say it!" Lumina muttered in exasperation, watching the video.

Uninterested in the rambling introduction, Lumina skipped to the segment titled "Lumina's Path and Gameplay Intensity Analysis" using the progress bar's chapter markers. She clicked play and settled in to watch.

The video showed footage from a main story combat trial where Lumina was being tested.

In the clip, Lumina gently waved her staff, instantly annihilating five enemy units.

"As everyone knows, this game features several Paths, each corresponding to a specific combat style. Abundance focuses on healing, Harmony on support, The Hunt on single targets, Destruction on three targets, Erudition on groups, and so on."

"During this trial, Lumina's basic attack struck five targets, dealing Imaginary-type damage. There's no doubt she's an Erudition Path character with the Imaginary attribute."

"Don't assume that just because she's an Emanator of Abundance, she must belong to the Abundance Path. Gameplay mechanics and lore are separate. Haven't you noticed that even the Hunt General is an Erudition character?"

"Alright, let's move on to her gameplay intensity. Did anyone notice that while Lumina has the Imaginary attribute, only two of the five monsters are weak to Imaginary damage? The other three have no such weakness."

"Yet Lumina's basic attack still manages to deplete their toughness bars and trigger Weakness Breaks."

"Therefore, I suspect Lumina's core mechanic allows her to ignore enemy weaknesses and focus solely on reducing toughness for Weakness Breaks!"

"Ignoring weaknesses to break toughness—its importance in turn-based games can't be overstated."

"The entire initial story has been completely rewritten just for Lumina, maximizing her screen time, highlights, and overall treatment. There's no way a character treated like this would have weak gameplay intensity."

"If Lumina turns out to be weak, I'll eat my computer on the spot!"

Hearing the video's claim, Lumina nodded with a sudden realization. "So that's how they're handling it?" she murmured. "This is ridiculous."

After giving the video a triple tap (like, comment, and share), Lumina swiped it away, not bothering to watch further.

"Why does everyone think I'm an Erudition character?" she wondered.

Searching on the platform, Lumina found that nearly every content creator who had posted videos about her believed she was an Erudition Main DPS.

But I'm just a weak, pitiful, and helpless Abundance Physician! You actually want me to fight monsters?! Σ( ° △ °|||)_?

Lumina: F-fight... monsters??? M-me?!

No way! This humble one can't do it ≧ _ ≦, unless...

Unless you whale until you max out my Eidelons. Then I'll put on a show for you, one-shotting heaven, earth, and even the air itself! Ehe♪

[ With Six Eidelons, you wouldn't just wipe out heaven, earth, and air—you'd straight-up kill the game itself! ] the System muttered in exasperation at Lumina's words.

Completely devoid of mechanics, it relied entirely on raw numbers—numbers from ten major versions ahead of its time.

If this thing hadn't been locked behind Six Eidelons, the System would have undoubtedly urged Lumina to tone it down.

She opened the skill description and found no drawbacks. Every crooked page was filled with the words "Overpowered Character." Unable to sleep, she scrutinized it all night, finally concluding that the skill description boiled down to one word:

Numerical

Lumina: ...

[You are too broken]

Reading the System's comment, Lumina's lips twitched in amusement. She was utterly speechless.

Honestly, she had been restraining herself considerably.

This was her, not some other character. Lumina didn't care about balance or power tiers. If she was going to be a playable character, she was determined to be the strongest, the most powerful.

And as a "character," she needed to be the most popular, the one with the highest fame.

What did a highly popular character need?

First and foremost, looks. That was undeniable, and Lumina happened to be supremely confident in her own.

The plot? That was easy; she remembered it after a single read.

The real issue was her strength.

Imagine a character who's stunningly beautiful, perfectly tailored to popular tastes, and even shares ambiguous moments with the protagonist. She's given peak story development, special scenes, and lavish treatment, and her gameplay intensity far surpasses that of other characters.

The question then becomes: How wildly popular would this character become?

Her popularity would reach unprecedented heights.

That's precisely what Lumina wanted.

Hmph~o(^▽^)┛ I've become a playable character, so why shouldn't I be the strongest?

Zero Eidelons: Overpowered. Two Eidelons: All-purpose. Six Eidelons: God-tier.

Was that too much to ask?

It might seem unfair to other characters, but wait—they wouldn't even care. They have no idea they're just game characters anyway ♪

As for whether real-world players might find her power excessive...

Lumina didn't think it was possible. Even if it were, she reasoned, once players got their hands on her, played her for a few days, they'd be completely hooked.

Did Lumina herself think it was excessive?

Not at all.

In fact, she thought the character needed to be even stronger.

Who was Lumina? The universe's most renowned "philanthropist," the Emanator of Abundance, the savior of countless worlds, a Saintess embodying purity, flawlessness, and beauty. What was wrong with her being a little overpowered?

What was wrong with her being a little overpowered?!

[ Okay, okay, esteemed Saintess, this humble one admits my mistake! I admit my mistake! It's not excessive at all! Not even a little! You are most gracious, most gracious! Please spare me! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ ] the System hastily whined.

"Hmph~♪" Lumina hummed softly, sprawling on the sofa with her long, elegant legs propped up against the ceiling, swinging back and forth. Her entire demeanor radiated cheerful contentment.

"Then let's see what you've got~"
