Night Monarch Returns

[Theo Roberts, 20 years old young man who never lost his virginity and never tasted the fruit of romance. Hometown Osaka city. Had no parents and was raised in an orphanage. Current status dead.]

"....." "I don't think there was any need to mention my romantic life here." The soul of Theo Robert was currently standing before a woman with white hair who looked quite pissed for some reason.

The woman had long white hair and a small pair of wings on her back. She was wearing a white maid uniform. The boy named Theo was having a hard time not looking at her deep cleavage and her gigantic bouncy boobs.

The woman glared at Theo in anger and said in a threatening tone. "If you talk too much, I will throw you out and let you suffer in this endless void."

"With your attitude, you will never find a boyfriend." Theo's words earned him another cold glare.

After Theo died, he found himself among countless trillions of souls who were moving towards an unknown destination. He and a few other souls were picked up by this woman and were bought here in this normal-looking office room.

"Now, follow me."

Both of them reached a big hall that was entirely painted in white where he found other souls from earth waiting and talking with each other. There were 10 souls whose appearance told that their age was the same as Theo. Among the 10 souls, 5 of them were girls and 5 of them were boys.

After Theo walked in, everyone had their eyes on him until they heard the woman's voice. [Sir, I have carefully selected 11 souls with very high potential from the river of reincarnation just like you ordered.]

"Thank you for your hard work, Ella."

Theo was a little surprised to hear the young voice. In his mind, he always had this stereotypical image of God as an old man.

"Hello. everyone. Welcome to the project of The Final Expanse. Before I talk about this project, let me introduce myself, I am the God of Star-Blaze. Just call me Uncle." In front of the 11 souls, there was a 4 feet tall man. The man looked like he was around 33 years old. He had short spiky golden hair, his face was clean shaved and he had rainbow color, star-shaped pupils. His skin was dark and he was fat.

'Why does he looks like one of those characters from those NTR novels?' Theo secretly wondered. He would never say these out loud as he does not wish to offend a god. 'He looks like the type of man who would steal your girlfriend.'

"Excuse me, what is this Star-Blaze?" One of the girls with long purple hair raised her hand and asked. She and the others 10 souls didn't dare to show any disrespect to a God.

"I will leave the explaining part to Ella." The uncle looked at Ella who for some reason looked very pissed. She snorted and started explaining in a cold tone. Others might not have noticed it but Theo can the God had taken a few glances at Ella's big and bouncy breasts.

"Star-Blaze is a soul-related object that can be awakened after reaching the age of 10. Awakening the Star-Blaze can grant the person a random skill or a random item or a random weapon or anything depending on the person's fate. What power or item the person will awaken through the Star-Blaze depends on the individual's fate and luck."

"For example, the son of the Dragon King might get a low-tier skill whereas the son of a poor farmer might get a legendary weapon. It all depends on the individual's luck and fate. Of course, a huge influence is also played by the parents of the individual."

"For example, if the parents have awakened a legendary weapon, the chances of their child awakening a legendary weapon increases by 25%."

"Thank you for the explanation. I will take it from here." The 4 feet tall-looking fat uncle who was the God of Star-Blaze looked at the 11 souls that he bought from Earth.

"Now that everyone here knows what Star-Blaze is, let's talk about the reason why I bought 11 of you from the earth." With the snap of his fingers, a table and a laptop appeared in front of the 4 feet tall man.

Just when Uncle opened the laptop the first thing that everyone in the room heard was the moan of a girl.

"Yamete Kudasai!!!"

All the boys on the whole looked at each other with hidden smiles. The boys clearly knew what that sound meant. While it took the girls a few extra seconds to realize what was going on. But when they saw the reaction of Ella, they also understood everything.

Ella took out a baseball bat from under her skirt which made Theo raise his eyebrow. She then smashed the laptop with the baseball bat.

Bang!

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop watching those things?" Ella then threw the laptop away. Everyone clearly saw the image of a naked blue-haired girl lying on the bed. There was a man on top of her.

"...I wonder what other things she can take out from under the skirt.' Theo looked at Ella's skirt which again earned a him cold glare from Ella herself.

Cough!

Uncle pretended as if the laptop never existed. He cleared his throat and began speaking as an image of a planet appeared behind like. The blue planet looked very similar yet very huge when compared to earth.

"I am sure you all are wondering what is this Project's final Expanse. The Final Expanse is a project to save the world of Star Expanse." Before anyone ask any questions he began explaining.

"The world of Star Expanse is a planet that has a thing called mana. The Star Expanse planet is very huge. If I were to give a comparison between the Star Expanse planet and the earth, I would say that the Star Expanse can fit 25 piles of earth in it and still would have some space left." Everyone visibly looked surprised hearing how big the Star Expanse was.

"Excuse me?" The boy standing next to Theo raised his right arm for a question.

"Hmmm?"

"Can you please tell us why we were bought here?"

Meanwhile, Theo's eyes never left Ella's boobs. Each time she moved her boobs seemed to sway. Theo was a man who never has been in contact with any woman. Almost all the women that lived in his neighborhood had flat chests which made him very frustrated. Painfully the husband of those women had a bigger chest than their wives.

So when a sexy and seductive woman like Ella appeared before his eyes, Theo just couldn't stop admiring her boobs. He felt he could stare at her boobs forever.

Ella seems to have noticed Theo's stare. She turned around and showed her back to Theo and sat while facing God.

"I was getting to explain that part. You all were selected by Ella to participate in the Project Star Expanse. Of course, I have no right to force you to participate in this project. If you want I can even send your soul back to the river of incarnation where your soul would be purified and you would be reborn in some random part of the universe without the memories of your past life. This project will be extremely dangerous. There are high chances that some of you might die. If anyone wants to back down, that person can step forward."

Seeing that no one was backing down, God showed a satisfied smile. "I will give the 11 of you three skills or weapons or any items of your choice and then reincarnate the 11 of you in the Star Expanse world. In the future, the Star Expanse will be destroyed. I want all of you to use your power and change the future of this planet. Please do remember that there are multiple threats that will destroy the world if you don't stop them. The fate of the world will rest on your choices and actions."

"What kind of place is this Star-Expanse world?"

"The Star-Expanse is a world that has been taken over by the influence of many evil Gods. Before evil and Good both coexisted but due to certain incidents in the past, the evil Gods totally suppressed the other Gods. I can only place my bet on the 11 of you for the future of that world."

"Can't you just send us there being using this reincarnation path?" Another boy asked while everyone looked at God, hoping to know the reason.

"Even If I wanted to, I can't. Look, I am not in charge of that world. So my influence in that world is very limited. It is all thanks to a certain friend who is going to help the 11 of you enter that world without the evil gods noticing. So reincarnation is the only choice if we don't want to alert the evil gods."

"Moving on to the Star-Blaze. Only 80% of the population can use only one Star-Blaze. However, there are certain special people in the Star-Expanse who can use 2 Star Blaze. Each Star Blaze gave them a unique power. Only a few people in history have been able to use 3 Star-blaze. If the 11 of you want to protect this world from destruction, you all will need more than one Star-Blaze. So I will give you all the blessing of being able to use 3 Star-Blaze."

"Since you, all can use 3 Star-Blazes, You all have three picks. I will give you all the freedom to choose the skills or weapons or artifacts that you want for your Star-Blaze. But do remember that there are some restrictions. You all have three picks, the ranks of your picks will be restricted. In the Star-Expanse world, the ranks of weapons, artifacts, and skills start from the Silver rank and end all the way to the Sage rank."

Silver rank

Gold rank

Legend Rank

Epic Rank

Sage Rank

"You all can choose one Epic rank item, one Legend rank item, and one Gold rank item. Or you all can sacrifice your three choices to choose a single Sage rank item. Or choose two Epic rank items by sacrificing your three picks. I apologize but if I let you all choose 3 Sage rank skills, the Gods of the Star-Expanse will definitely notice this and will do anything to kill you even before you all are born."

"Now go and choose the thing that you like." With the snap of his finger, everyone disappeared. When Theo opened his eyes he found himself standing before a 1-meter-long transparent screen. On that screen, there were 3 sections for artifacts, weapons, and skills which were further divided into different ranks.

"Going to a world that is heavily influenced by evil gods, I will need the most powerful and unique skills. It's a shame that I can't get 3 Sage rank skills." The more Theo scrolled down and read the description of various Sage rank skills or artifacts, the more envious he became.

[Aura of Storms [Sage rank]

[Lightning Manipulation [Sage rank]

[Fire Manipulation [Sage rank]

[Darkness Manipulation [Sage rank]

[Rune King [Sage Rank]

[ Golden ...]

"I can't choose a Sage rank skill when there are tons of useful skills from Epic and Legend rank." Theo was a gamer in this previous life. All the tons of hours that he spent gaming wasn't only for show. He perfectly knew what skills he needed to balance himself in the new world. To him, even though Sage's rank skills were super powerful, they were not worth the sacrifice.

"I prefer to fight alone. So it would be better to have skills that will give me attack power and super agility and also defensive powers." Even though Theo was saying that he was still looking at the available skills in the Sage rank sections. After all, he does not want to have any regret in his life. He wants to see if there are any Sage rank skills that can change his mind.

"What is this skill?" As Theo kept scrolling down, his eyes fell on a skill that had a strange name.

"Perfect Copy?" Curiously Theo clicked to read the skill description and functions.

[Perfect Copy]

[Rank: - Sage tier]

[Level: - Max]

[Description]: - A special type of innate skill that allows the user to copy any skills used by others. According to the level of the user, the skill will place some restrictions and limits on the use of Star-blaze. But as the user levels up, those restrictions will be lifted.]

Even though the description and the name of the skill were so simple, Theo couldn't bring himself to calm down at all. He felt this skill was the ultimate cheat skill that he needed. By copying others' skills, the number of skills that he can learn is unlimited. This skill had unlimited potential. Without wasting even a single second, without even looking at the other skills, Theo chose this skill. It was like if he didn't choose this skill, this skill would disappear. To him, this skill was the best of the best.

After choosing the skill, Theo was teleported in front of God of Star-Blaze. He looked at Theo with a mysterious smile. "I am impressed by your choice. But do you understand that choosing this skill means that you can only use one Star-Blaze in your life?" Since Theo had used the power of three Star-Blaze to choose a Sage rank skill, he won't able to use more than one Star-Blaze.

"I am certain. This skill is what I needed. As long as I train hard and keep fighting strong enemies, I will only keep getting stronger and stronger."

"Very well."
