1 Chapter 1

"huung, bastard i will get you next time". Pff sure, see you in hell stubborn old man. This was the last exchange between Nox and his son before he perished.

Nox and his son have always had a strained relationship. Even with Nox trying to be strict but fair. His son always seem to go behind his back, and sully the family name with scandal after scandal. Nox knew they weren't on good terms, but for his son to kill him. Came as quite the nasty surprise, even having the audacity to call him "old man", he wasn't even 50.

"Tsk, it was probably easy for those greedy directors to talk my hateful son into it"."Sigh, i can't really blame anyone but myself, if i come back i'll be more vigilant. And there will be Hell to pay"

Nox closed his eyes, accepted his fate. However as he was dying a mysterious dim glow surrounded his body. Breathing his last breath, awaiting his death. He didn't believe in the afterlife so he wasn't expecting anything, maybe eternal peace maybe wouldn't be so bad.

With a flash, his body disappeared from the floor, not even leaving his blood behind. His son was in a daze wondering how his father's body could just vanish into nothing. Not having an answer for this mysterious happening. He decided he wasn't going to question it, he knew for sure he killed his father. Regardless it made things easier since there was no proof which would point to him, since his father had vanished.

Nox woke up with a splitting headache. in a groggy daze he rubbed his sore head and looked around. Feeling a bit surprised, because Nox was sure he died, and looking around he sure wasn't in a hospital. He most definitely died. But? looking around both curious and cautious. He was nothing but the never ending grassy plains. Still feeling nauseous, He threw himself back into the grass. Resting and enjoying the feeling of soft grass and breathing the fresh invigorating air around him. Nox thought this was a refreshing change of setting. However he didn't get to enjoy off-time for very long. As his resting was cut short by a feminine sounding voice in his head.

[Welcome back dear Origin Holder]

Nox in a momentary stupor, looked around trying to spot who was talking to him. "who?, anyone here?" said Nox.

[Origin Holder does not need to talk out loud thoughts are enough to convey your message to me]

Nox collected himself even though this situation was strange to him, he decided to play along, and thought. "Who are you miss?", [I am a separate will attached to the Origin holder tasked with helping him forever, a symbiote or ai if you will]. Nox wondered to himself that raises far more questions than it answers. "Do you have a name?".[Origin holder can call whatever he likes, i do not have a name]. Nox thought to himself for a bit, trying to figure out a name for the feminine sounding voice. Her voice felt elegant a bit aloof but pleasant to the ear. weighing his options, he quite quickly came up with a noble name. "Your name shall be Elizabeth '' [Elizabeth thanks origin holder for her name] Nox however also had another question to ask Elizabeth. Nox mumbled to himself. "what is with this Origin holder you keep calling me or referring to?"

[Origin holder means holder of a piece of origin. The origin is from the creation of the universe. As you can imagine each piece holds and gives incredible power. You may not remember this but you bought a large piece of meteorite as a collectible a long time ago. that was an origin piece. It is in fact the largest origin piece. Moreover each origin piece holds a will of its own. Each will is created by gaia. We aren't omnipotent, we are here as an extension of gaia, for her to see into all the worlds. Origin holder can try and think "status" this should answer some questions you have]

Nox now with a better understanding thanked Elizabeth for her assistance and thought [Status]

(i will only occasionally show the entire attribute panel, it will mostly be updated in a separate chapter at the top, as to not make too much clutter)

Stat page place holder

Nox looked dumbfounded at the information shown to him in his retina. Most of the information he wasn't really sure what to do with. Is 10 strength low or high and what the hell is an imperial nexus? As if answering his question, the information about his molding talent imperial nexus was displayed in his retina.

[Item - Imperial Nexus]

[Desc - The origin of the empire for the one who places it]

[Tier - Divine (unique)]

[stats - Stats are empire wide]

[+20% migration attraction]

[+20% high grade pop attraction]

[+30% crop output]

[-30% crop growth time]

[+5% soldier stats]

[+5% pop resource output]

[Upgradeable]

[When placed grants the user a Mythic - Tier starting city stone]

Looking at the information it made sense, imperial obviously has something to do with an empire or royalty of some sort. He could guess that the stats are definitely high since it's marked as divine tier, combined with the stats being empire wide it is for sure a top tier item. Thinking to himself, it seems like he won't only be starting out in the rags he is currently wearing. Deciding not to wonder about it further for now, he shook his head, and asked Elizabeth about his personal stats

[Origin holder the 10 points you see after each stat is the limit of a regular human, with the average being 5 and 7-9 being the peak, no human back on your earth has yet to reach a 10 in any stat]

While listening to Her explanation Nox was tasting her words a bit. "she says im strong, but that's most likely just for a low level. It's not like i don't know what an rpg is" He decided to ask the last burning question."Elizabeth, what exactly am i doing here, and what is the purpose of me being here?, oh and please call me lord or master"

[Yes master. The reason you are here, I cannot tell. As for your purpose, that is for you to choose]

Nox grumbled a bit, he knew there was no point asking further after listening to her firm stance on the matter. Standing around Nox was wondering what exactly to do. He could explore a bit, but he had nothing but the clothes he was wearing. So this could be very risky. Nox decided it wasn't worth gambling his new chance away for a chance at a better spot for his first city and exploring further would be a bad idea. However building a city in the middle of plains he couldn't see the end of could hamper the growth, the plus would be it was very easy to expand, since he didn't have to do much to the land to make it good for expanding.

He didn't want to stand around any longer, so he opened up his subspace. and a black and purple rift ripped open up next to him. looking at the wonder of magic, but since he came back to life, opening up a rift in space didn't seem too outrageous. So he put in his hand and took out the Nexus. The Nexus was a fairly large cube with strange and ancient looking inscriptions and engravings, he took a moment to enjoy the look of the cold and mysterious looking metallic cube, before he activated it and threw it on the ground.

Almost immediately the ground around him started to shift and change, he took a few steps back so as to not get in the way. He looked at the marvel taking place in front of him. admiring the swift changes, and the structure taking place, but It didn't take very long for the changes to stop. After which the finished product stood in the middle of the field, it was a medium sized mansion with a strange combination of dystopian and dark Gothic Architecture. A strange combination indeed but a beautiful one forsure. Nox has always had a soft spot for both of these architectural styles, and looking at the seamless combination of both in the same building, was truly a breathtaking sight.

Nox was however a bit surprised about the modern housing, since so far this felt a lot more like the start of a medieval setting, but he wasn't going to complain. The modern world was far more convenient for him, as adapting to a medieval world would be very difficult.

With his first building finished, quite a few messages popped into his mind.

[Congratulations Master for the first steps towards making a grand empire.]

[Nexus placed - Mythic tier core activated, Please grant this settlement a name]

[Nexus Citadel created, level 1 Nexus citadel is the townhall of this settlement]
