As the blinding light and continuous notifications in his head slowly dissipated William opened his eyes in a daze only to find himself sitting on a beautifully decorated white metallic throne. As his eyes scanned his location he found himself in a pristinely decorated white and gold hall. Rather than being flustered, panicked, or excited, William remained stationary, as still and silent as a rock. Not a single emotion displayed on his handsome pale white face. Just prior to this supernatural phenomenon occurring William was kicked out of his house by his parents and older sister because he was framed for cheating on the University exam by his ex-best friend Derik. No matter how much he pleaded, William's high-class academic parents and prodigious sister found it an embarrassment to house such a 'degenerate' and kicked him without lending an ear for his part of the story. Neither acting out or trying any further, William sighed and chose to pack up his belongings and leave for a renting complex silently, he was already 18 so living by himself wasn't anything daunting for him. However, as he was driving on the road alongside everyone else he could see was wrapped in a golden pillar of light and was suddenly transported to where they are now.

As a cultured young adult of the 21st century himself, he was familiar with concepts of transmigration and the bunch from reading novels, along with his calm and cold natural demeanor he adapted to his situation within seconds. A moment after William arranged his thoughts the familiar cold mechanical voice resounded in his mind again!

[Welcome one and all! Congratulations on being chosen as Monarchs of Conquest!]

[To have you accustomed to your new situation, please standby for the basic information introduction! PS. This might hurt! :)]

As the voice subsided a warm current suddenly engulfed William's body and traveled directly to his head, each moment a vast quantity of information was etched into William's mind.

This new world was simply known as Eden, a planet several hundred times larger and more dangerous than Earth. With thousands of unique mythical races from legends actually present here! Dragons, Orcs, Goblins, Elves, Angels, even Gods! Each of these aboriginal races of Eden was a powerful race entangled in wars and now William alongside billions of earthlings have been thrown into this mess! This world's main source of power was Spirit Energy! The power source of legend, utilized in god knows how many novels. Meaning this planet was a cultivation world, where even the weakest human race could become an immortal god!

One of the most important things William found out was that in this new world, every human being will have to fight off against various events from monster waves to natural disasters, if one isn't prepared enough, only death awaits them. Without dwelling on these factors and wasting time being in fear, William decided to make the most of this new opportunity, for him who was at rock bottom in his life before, this was basically a second chance at life, one where he could act according to his own wishes!

William quickly scanned for anything else of importance and noticed a silent urge appear at the very back of his mind, the urge to think of one word, 'System'.

[Ding! Monarch System initialized! Welcome, Monarch William Erikson! This system is designed to allow all Monarchs to progress properly and strengthen their civilizations! The host currently has 1 Novice Gift Pack + 1 Special Gift Pack awaiting opening, to open please say 'open'!]

Without delay, William thought in his mind 'open'.

[Ding! Opening Novice Gift Pack.....Received...x1 Village Area Received....x1 Wooden Fence....x5 Village Housing...x5 Bread...x5 Water Sacks...x1 Set of Basic Tools...x5 Spirit Energy Cores....x1 Basic Cultivation Manual!]

"Open".

[Ding! Opening Special Gift Pack...Received...[SSS] - Class Monarch Talent 'Technological Supreme'!]

[Ding! Detecting Special Talent Buffs! Initializing changes...construction time annulled...cultivation level transfers to 'Gene System'...all cultivation manuals used by host will be converted to pure energy consumption techniques for 'Gene System'. Civilization transforms from village template to iron fortress template.]

SSS CLASS TALENT! William quickly navigates the system to the world chat log, as he opened it millions of notifications exploded, almost never-ending.

"HEY HEY, THIS IS FAKE RIGHT?"

"Someone please help me! I'm stuck in a desert and I can see a huge snake a few meters away from me the size of a bus!"

"WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS HAPPENING? TELEPORT? ILLUSION? THIS IS A SICK PRANK, RIGHT?"

"Please let me go home!"

"HAHA, this is awesome! THIS IS FANTASY! FANTASY! Watch me be a king in this new world! I have a D class talent called Fire Element Greater Affinity! I'll burn my way to the top!"

"Is the kid above mad? If you die here you die! Didn't you hear the strange voice? What we need to do is survive and not fight each other guys!"

William sighed before closing the chat, other than realizing that he was extremely lucky to be surrounded by forestry and receive a mind-blowingly powerful talent, nothing of importance was found. He then realized that beneath the world chat, a regional chat, party chat, and family chat were present.

Although hesitant he decided to open the family chat.

Michael Erikson: "Honey! Sasha! William! Are you all okay?"

Samantha Erikson: "Michael! Sasha! I can hear you! We must not be far apart, quick come out!"

Sasha Erikson: "Mum! Dad! Don't move I'll come you both stay inside and stay safe, I heard in chat that monsters are around! My talent is increasing body cultivation! I can fight like a Lvl 3 Body Training warrior!"

William Erikson: "I'm fine."

William wasn't in the proper mindset to converse with his family at this point, after checking to see if they were safe he closed the chat. Something he noticed in the family and global chat is that families are placed relatively close, some situations where estranged biological families were connected together also occurred. It seems your situation back on earth reflected your placement around people. Right now William could be sure that his family was relatively far from him.

William realized he can't slack off anymore and directly went to the System Store. The System currency was Eden coins of the silver and gold variant. 10 000 silver coins were equivalent to 1 gold Eden coin. It seemed every Monarch started with 10 gold coins which could be used to buy a range of items from cooking utensils, to whole structures and most importantly people! However it was obvious that Williams store was different from others, most of his personal and civilization-related items were directed in a technological direction, from basic assault rifles to plasma rifles!

Instantly William began purchasing!

[Ding! Received...x1 basic cooking camp....x1 research team...x1 basic soldiers squad....x1 armored jeep!]
