The Rupture
As the clock struck midnight, the atmosphere became very restless. Raiya, riding his motorcycle home from his internship, felt an urgent sense of unease, urging him to hurry back. He accelerated, thankful for the emptier roads at this hour. But suddenly, a burst of blinding light enveloped him, causing him to lose consciousness.
Unaware of the cosmic event about to unfold, An aura of mystery enveloped the night, as if the universe itself held its breath, waiting for a pivotal moment to unfold.

Unknow POV
in a certain room littered with star around a person stood there contemplating and looking.
"It now begins, the true form of this world will slowly surface. Who will rise above and succeed? Will it be just one or a plethora of them? Will those who represent each side truly understand the true meaning of this epoch, or will it be ignored and swept under the rug?" the entity said while exhaling a symbolic breath of air after writing something and looking into a projection. "Interesting, truly interesting. I look forward to the story they write, whether it be a great tale or the divine comedy. Either way, it will be an interesting thing to watch."
For a brief moment, while slowly disappearing, the screen showed a picture and information of a few individuals..
While the entity slowly disappeared from that room, it left without a trace, as if it never existed before
=============>
Raiya POV
'What's going on?' Raiya felt a bit of pain, as if air was suddenly pushed out from his body. "Ugh... Did I hit something while..." He realized he was standing alone in a white space that extended endlessly.
a mechanical sound started.
"BZZT.......BUZZ...WELCOME TO YOU ALL SELECTED INDIVIDUALS," the voice declared. It explained that each person was in their own personal space and could ask five questions. After a slight pause, with a gentle voice, it said, "But before that, you may look into your status screen. Everyone, not just you, will have this. This screen is a mandatory gift to the planet inhabitants. You may access it by saying MENU in your mind."
Raiya recited the word in his mind, 'MENU'.

"now that you've seen your own status now we will begin the Q&A session" a piece of paper and a pen appear before Raiya.
Raiya started to contemplated his question deeply noticing this is a very important part where he can acquire an edge over other, he too know that other will notice this, and beside he already have a very important question he would like to ask.
without long he started to write all the question he thought out.

3. What is the advantage of all Parties in this event?
4. Why isn't my race stated, and how does it connect to being a Dungeon Master?
5. what will happen to my family and loved one ?
Shortly after, a burst of light appeared before Raiya. As the light transformed into writing, he realized that the entity understood their language, far beyond their civilization's capabilities.
a burst of light appear in-front of Raiya
the light dissipate and turn into a paper filled with writing 'hmm they already master our language' shaking his thought he turn to the writing on the paper.

2. The true purpose is for the intelligent to figure out; compensation will be given in other ways.
3. The majority has the freedom to choose, while the Heroes have benefits in attribute boosts and EXP gain..
4. The race you choose to rule will be your troop race, a perk of the Dungeon Master side.
5. Your family will be notified and can choose to be frozen until you reach a certain strength level, or they may stand against you.
Shock by the information he reads, but not long the voice appear again.
"Ah, young ones, as you venture deeper into the labyrinth of power, remember this timeless wisdom: with every step you take, never lose sight of who you were when this journey began. For in the quest for dominion, the allure of authority can bewitch even the wisest of souls, never let the grandeur of your triumphs overshadow the essence of your being. For power can be a fickle companion, and the paths you tread may be riddled with choices that shape the very core of your being. Embrace humility, dear ones, as a timeless virtue that grounds you in the essence of your humanity. now it's time to part ways, may we meet again in the endless world of stars."
the voice start to fade away leaving a word of advice.
With a renewed sense of understanding, Raiya contemplated his next steps as the projection screens remained before him.
