"What's the whole point of living right now... to suffer from the world the tortured me. Everything was taken from me. Even my pain in the ass step sister who despises me. Why suffer any longer?"

A black haired young man with white and purple strands of hair fluttering on his head in tattered clothes that looked to be in teen years, sat on the edge of a 3 story building looking over a river, with a blank expression on his face, silently wondering to himself about the purpose of his life.

His mother died giving birth to him, just after he was born and his father loved him thinking of it as a farewell present from his wife. He remarried years later when he was 12 years old, his father then died a year later from a burglary when he was taking his son for some candy.

His step mother then died from a hit and run when he was only 14, all that was left for him was his stepsister who despises him and blames him for everything. Saying he's the embodiment of death as everyone around him dies, she's one of the pillars of humanity, the famous Fire Queen.

All that was left was his actual parents' house when his sister abandoned him.

Unfortunately, as though the world hadn't had enough destroying his life and wanted to mess with him even more, two individuals with inhuman power fought each other in the middle of the night, destroying miles of property along with his parents home, leaving him with nothing, nothing at all.

Then with a tad bit of salt to rub in his wounds the fight and damage ruined his above average face, as scars appeared on his face, it wouldn't have been a problem if they blended into his skin and sort of faded, but NOOOOO. Instead of the scar turning into a light pink color when it healed, it turned pitch black, now the scars on his face looked like he had it tattooed black. Destroying his above average face, turning it to just average.

Ever since then, he stopped going to school, and even has been wandering the streets as a homeless teenager and thief.

He tried to seek help from others at first, but the world just ignored him and his cries for help simply because he was born without any abilities. Eventually, this young man who lost everything decided to give up, as he was afraid that even more things would be taken from him if he tried anything.

The only thing that surprised him was his step sister tried reaching out to him, but he ignored her and was able to go in the wind, making his step sister lose track of him, he just disappeared.

It has been 2 years since he became homeless, yet he has not once wondered why he continued to struggle in this pointless life.

After sitting on the edge of the 3 story building staring at the clear blue river ahead of him for an unknown amount of time, this young man finally began to wonder why he'd been struggling for so long for the last 2 years.

What was the point? What's keeping him from just giving up altogether? why must he continue to struggle and suffer when it's been made perfectly clear he wasn't needed and wanted in this world.

Then an image flashed into the young man's mind bringing him even further down, as he thought about his sister, even though she despises him he couldn't bring it to himself to hate her, he actually loved her ever since the first date they met. Even though everything was fine and both her mother and his father were alive, they didn't have a good relationship as she barely even spoke to him at all.

He just couldn't hate her, he never understood why until he realized what love was later on. The way his father once loved him, not because she was family but because he wanted her to be his, his lover. Everything shattered though as she despised him, and abandoned him.

The young man pondered for a couple of hours until he suddenly mumbled, in a low voice.

"If there really is a god in this world, tell me, what should I do?"

A few moments later, as though god had heard him and given him an answer, the space a dozen meters away from him suddenly began twisting in a spiral motion.

Very quickly, a large and grayish portal appeared.

When people saw this, one of them immediately began shouting in an excited tone.

"Dungeon! A new dungeon has opened! Someone call the authorities!"

While people messed with their phones trying to call the authorities, the young man stood up front the edge and jumped into the river below him.

*Spalshhhh* the sound of body hitting water was heard and a medium splash was created. The young man then rose up, breaking the body of water before swimming to the other side of the street. Once the man reached the street he put his hands on the sidewalk and used his arms to bring him up. Once he was up on the sidewalk standing up soaking wet he walked a few feet as he was looking at the portal with a nonchalant look on his face.

'This is the answer? I see..'

A relieved smile appeared on the young man's face before he started approaching the portal, getting closer and closer to it.

When the people there noticed a young man soaking wet approaching the portal, they shouted at him~

"What are you doing? That dungeon hasn't been analyzed yet! you cannot go in their without permission!"

"Maybe he's looking to die and wants to go inside."

"Get back kid!! You'll definitely die if you go inside!!"

However, the young man ignored the warnings and mocking and continued to approach the portal until he was standing directly in front of it.

The young man stopped right in front of the portal, and he turned around to see the people looking at him with surprised faces.

"Death? What is death, death is nothing but a blessing at this point, besides what is the point of death when I'm the embodiment of death."

Once the young man said that he turned around and took a step forward, disappearing in to the dungeon.

The instant the young man entered the portal, it's grayish color began to change, turning it into a pitch black portal with red dots dancing around it.

When people saw this, everyone present their skin turned ashen like they were drained of blood, as their faces twisted and horror and a few collapsed.

"Holy fuck!! it's a Challenger Rank dungeon!"

"impossible! there's no way the authorities aren't already prepared for this! Why aren't they here yet?!!"

"Why did a Challenger Rank dungeon appear here?!! Humanity is doomed!!!!"

Meanwhile after entering the dungeon, the young man was teleported into this large building that resembled an ancient temple, yet there were nothing but clouds in the background, suggesting that it was hovering somewhere in the sky and surrounded by clouds.

The young man remained completely calm, and looked around in silence, expecting to see monsters already.

But soon it became evident to him that there were no monsters in this place.

Then he noticed a long corridor that led into another room and at the end of the room, he could see a figure that resembled a person who was suspended mid air and bound by chains.

This 'person' looked too big to be human even from the young man's eyes from how far away he was, and he was at least a few hundred steps away.

The young man had no other choice but to begin walking through the hall, slowly approaching the person at the end of the other side, and the closer he got to the figure the more apparent it was that this figure was restricted by these black chains

Once he was halfway through the hall, it became clear that the figure was actually women, a large woman in terms of size. As she appeared to be 10 times the size of an average human.

This woman had a peerless voluptuous figure and was wearing a revealing black dress that barely covered her pale skin and just enough to cover her private areas.

Furthermore she had silk white hair that flowed down her pale back while it glistened beautifully, almost like there were stars stuck inside her hair.

The young man had never seen a woman as beautiful as her in his life, and his sister was considered to be one of the most beautifulest woman on earth. The figure in front of him would be defined as a 'goddess'

Once the young man arrived in the room with a chained goddess, he proceeded to stare at her in silence, almost as if he was admiring her existence.

However, the young man snapped out of his daze, when the chained goddess opened her eyes, revealing the beautiful eyes that were hiding previously.

The goddess had unique eyes as her right eye was purple whilst her left eye was golden, enchanting her supreme beauty even further.

The goddess stared at the young man in silence before speaking in a clear voice.

"What is a human like you doing here?"

"I don't know."

Even though he was standing in front of a goddess, he replied calmly without any nerves.

"How did you get here?" she counted to question him.

"Through a portal."

After moments of silence, the goddess spoke again.

"What's your name?"

"Oliver Aether." he responded calmly.

"Look into my eyes, Oliver Aether." the goddess commanded.

The young man named Oliver Aether, didn't want to follow her command but figured he had nothing to lose. So he quickly and directly looked into her magnificent eyes with no fear on his face.

Suddenly Oliver felt something enter his mind, and his memories began to play inside his head like a movie, a tragic movie about the miserable and unfortunate life of a once innocent young boy who lost everything.

A few minutes later, the memories stopped appearing in his head.

"I see... the world also abandoned you..." the goddess began to speak again with a slight change in her tone.

"It's not nice to look at people's memories... but since we both seem to be the same... abandoned, I forgive you." Oliver couldn't remain silent.

The goddess stood there in a daze before giving a slight giggle.

"My apologies." The goddess sounded sincere, so Oliver felt a bit better.

"You, who lost his purpose in life after the world abandoned you, what do you desire?" The goddess spoke again after giggling for a bit, before asking the question, catching him off guard.

"I don't know." he responded calmly.

The goddess however said.

"You may not know, but I, who have seen everything, I know how you think, what you feel and what you desire."

"Hatred. Anger. Confusion. Love. Lust. Death. The feeling of being powerless. You despise the world that took everything from you."

The goddess revealed to Oliver his emotions that were buried deep within his heart, and continued to speak.

"What you desire is love and revenge~ to take back what the world stole from you~ your happiness. I can grant you the power that will help you fulfill your desire and give you true happiness.

"Really?" Oliver asked in a slight doubt.

"Yes." the goddess confirmed.

"I will give you power, but in exchange, you will do me a favor."

"Sure, I'll make you my wife when I'm stronger." Oliver said with a smile with no shame.

"... HAHAHAH." the goddess bursted out laughing until she calmed down.

"Maybe... just maybe, but that wasn't the favor I was asking for, I want you to promise me that you'll return to this place in the future and get rid of these chains that have taken away my freedom and happiness."

"In exchange for my powers, promise me you'll free me from this place, and maybe I'll marry you."

"Deal!" Oliver just responded without any hesitation in his voice or asking any questions.

The goddess showed a slight but enchanting smile towards Oliver that captivated his heart.

"Come closer, Oliver"

Oliver nodded and approached her.

Once he was close enough, the goddess took a deep breath before spitting out something that flew directly in-between Olivers' eyebrows before he could even react.

The unknown object then buried itself inside Oliver's head, without leaving a scar or harming him.

A moment later, words began appearing in front of Olivers' view, and these words followed wherever he looked.

"This is a character status. You made me into a player? Though... it's different from what I have heard." Oliver was not unfamiliar with this phenomenon, though still confused.

In this world there are chosen ones who are born with superpowers that defend the world against portals and the otherworldly threats within them, and these people are known as players.

Oliver was born as an ordinary human without any powers, so this was a great surprise to him, as far as he was aware, one cannot obtain a character status unless they were born with superpowers.

Furthermore, he was given the power of a 'Hero', the highest rank a player could obtain, something every person dreamed of but only a handful of players in this world are fortunate enough to have, and these players are some of the most powerful people in the world.

Just like his sister.
