1 Beginning of the end

I thought today would be like any day in my life: very boring. That was 'till I walked out of the corner store and saw this lady walking into the street to pick up her phone— but a truck turned the corner. I ran harder then I ever have in my entire life to push her out of the way. I now sit here pourin' blood as the light fades away....

*man I just wanted a freakin' root beer and honey bun! Not to be a hero!*

I now sit in total darkness. I have no clue how long it's been. One year? A thousand?It all blends together...

??? *...interesting... a human soul capable of surviving in the void for over two trillion years... maybe their soul will be strong enough for my entertainment*

??? "...My child, what is your name?"

*is he speaking to me*

???"No, I'm talking to your aunt! Yes i'm talking to you! There is literally no one here for the next— well, forever!"

"My name is... well it was, I suppose… it doesn't really matter at this point: Jonathan. Are you god? Never thought I would have to ask that."

??? "I have many names from many places. I prefer to be called The Origin for I am there when everything begins and when it ends. I would like to offer you an opportunity to be put into a world much like your own but millions of times larger— and the petty beings you call gods will be real"

Jonathan "It seems like it would be really hard to live in said world… what's it even called?"

The Origin "I shall call this world Principium et Finis. I will grant you one of those systems that are from your world. Would you like a sci-fi, or magic system?"

Jonathan "Well this sounds quite fun. If you let me design my next body, I'll go to this world."

The origin "Quite bold of you to negotiate with me, but I accept. What would you like to look like?"

Jonathan "What I wish to look like is… give me a minute to think about it."

-four hours later-

Jonathan "I want to be 6'3, light brown skin, with a fit, toned body, pure black hair, and lavender eyes."

The origin "It shall be done. I wish you luck on your adventure. Make sure you have fun."

Jonathan "alright I wil—" *snap*

Jonathan *did they have to kick me out mid sentence? What's this in my pocket?*

:You are about 500 miles away from the area Greek gods rule over. As a free gift, I made it so your fate can't be read and your mind can't be taken over. Head north:

(technological god system booting please wait a moment)

Jonathan *guess this makes up for kicking me out mid sentence, but what the heck? Now I gotta' walk 500 miles! At least the system is booting...*

(System boot complete. Hello, host. Would you like to see the options available for you? You may speak in your mind or out loud. Though, you may be seen as a mad man if you speak out loud.)

*show me your functions and my states*

Name:Jonathan Draglen

Lvl.1

Titles: Techno God in training, kissed by the void, claimed child of the origin

Strength .0001

Intelligence 10

Dexterity .0001

Wisdom 10

Endurance 5

Soul 100000

Skills: Nothing worth mentioning

Passive skills: Quantum brain, infinite potential

Jonathan *what is the standard for the states? and what to the titles do? And what's Quantum Brain!?*

(Answer: The standard stat score is one. This world's gravity is much stronger than the earth resulting in stronger beings. The system will protect you from the gravity until you can handle it. Techno God in training gives you the path to become the god of technology. Kissed by the void was gained from bathing in the void for over two trillion years: ripping apart your soul and putting it back together. When the origin called you his child you gained your last title. This allows for your fate to be fluid and truly bend to your will.)

Jonathan *holy hell I'm weak as crap... and I was in there for more than two trillion years…?! Well... all of those titles seem quite helpful… are all titles helpful?*

(No, a title can be earned from many things. Including curses.)

Jonathan *Well that's good to know. Do I get a starter pack or anything?*

(Starter pack X1 granted. Would you like to open?)

Jonathan *open the pack*

(Grade 1 bio-solution, grade 1 armor, grade 1 boots and gloves, grade 1 combat knife, and grade 3 hoverbike obtained. Knowledge up to the level of modern earth has been obtained. Caution— pain incoming.)

Jonathan *tell me in advance if your going to put me through a process that makes my brain feel like it's entering a liquid state...*

(Noted for future use. To equip equipment, please go to your inventory. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you my other functions. It seems that The Origin input forgetfulness in my coding. My functions include 1. Status 2. Inventory: can only hold system items 3. Store points: can only be earned by discovering new things, and can only be used to purchase new knowledge.)

Jonathan *guess I'll drink this now. Oh wow! This is so tingly…!*

(All stats plus 1 system shall now stop assisting with gravity)

Jonathan *I guess that's good. Also, how good is the rest of this gear?*

(Grades are 1-10 and there are 15 tiers what you have is grade 1 tier 1, so it's equivalent to the best of the best of a trash planet like earth. The armor lessons impact and is waterproof and cut resistant, boots have titanium plates, gloves improve grip and are stab proof, and the hoverbike is grade 3 tier 1. It hovers 3 feet over the ground and goes 350 miles an hour max.)

Jonathan *time to ride to Greek lands*
