Prologue

Awakened, a thing most races experience when Waves of Mana hit the planet. There are commonly 5 Waves of Mana, but on rare cases there are 4 deadly waves, and on even rarer cases there are 6 semi-deadly waves. The waves mostly hit when the planet are in a deadly war with each other but some waves happen when it's completely peaceful. Earth had the 1st person Awakened in 1916.

There were craters left by the Waves of Mana, which are now called the home of elemental mana.

Creatures with certain aspects of elemental mana are Dragons with every common elemental mana, Elves with Wind elemental mana, Orcs with Fire and Earth elemental mana, Dwarves with Earth, Fire, Space elemental mana, and finally Vampires with Blood, with either Fire or Ice elemental mana. Humans can controll at most 3 types of any elemental mana.

But elemental mana is useless against Pure Mana. Higher creatures and creatures who want to be strong use it. The Waves of Mana were Pure Mana, not elemental mana.

But Pure Mana can only go so far, a certain instance of this is when a Demon reached the limit of it, reaching the highest Rank a Demon could go. That Demon was called Eternity.

He didn't like his name being said by people who were affiliated with him, leading to him being called "The Certain Being" or "Certain Individual."

In a field of blood and death, 2 comrades fight countless monsters. These are the first 2 Awakened of Humanity. One seems close to death, the other also close.

"How much longer do I have to fight?" said an exhausted voice.

"As long as you can...." replies an equally tired voice

After an unknown time of fighting nonstop 1 died and the other collapsed.

The person who collapsed was presumed dead until he woke directly after the 5th Wave of Mana happened. His body was set to display as the first Awakened of humanity.

A crack in the ice he was in appeared, and the visitors to the museum were shocked. The Union was called immediately but when they arrived he was already gone and the ice was shattered.

He kept hearing voices in his head questioning him while seeing a pitch-black figure appearing in and out of his vision.

He looked like he was in a silent exhausted rage or on drugs, mostly the latter.

After walking for a few minutes he collapsed.

He awoke in a place similar to Earth but felt unnatural and completely different, terrifying almost.

"Hah, so you must be the one who was sealed by Low-Level Dragons, I honestly expected more because the dragons and the system will rarely step in." Said the Master of the Abyss, "Such a shame you chose to live a life as a human, or do you want to go back to being a Demon, I mean the most powerful Demon."

"Nah, I'm good. Thanks for reminding me of my origin though, [Redacted] Snow." said the protagonist

"Ah, so you still remember my name." Said the Master of the Abyss "Very well, you do you. I will leave a few hearts of species you might be interested in becoming."

And so the Master of the Abyss left leaving a light blue Ice and Wind Element heart, a dark red Blood and Fire Element heart, a pitch black Abyssal Demon heart, and a silver Creator heart.

"Of course leaving worthless species hearts, though an Abyssal Demon and Creator sound interesting as they both are above C+ Rank at birth. I was just Rank A- at my peak before I chose to live as a human." sighed one of the most powerful beings in his current form.

He left once he woke up, ignoring the stares of people in bewilderment.

He then slowly and painfully walked to an alley.

"I should change my appearance as this person's body seems to be of some fame," he whispered to himself.

And so he grew out his hair in a swift motion, slightly increased his skin colour to a tan-white colour, changed his hair to a dark grey colour, and changed his eyes to a dark red colour.

"That's good for now." he sighed

A few years have passed since then, he got to learn about humanities Awakened and their system, which was very different from his previous one. The system was underdeveloped by a lot.

He boredly said "System."

"Even the worst system had more than this," he stated "If I were to make my own using the Shards of a Void Blade or the Ashes of a Soul it would be much better than this."

And then a few more years passed leading to a decade and a half he spent in this world.

He was able to collect a few Shards and pouches of Ashes of a Soul. Those were hard to come by in this world at least. He learned that the Tears of Mana contained a few Ashes and Shards, so collected those for a while, until he learned that they contained minuscule amounts.

"Hmm, I should go to the other races in case they know where I can find them, just the first syllable of my name should do the trick, I mean, I did create them." He wondered

So he went to them, said the first syllable of his name and they gave him what he needed instantly as they felt their creators aura. So he created a new system for himself and it was many times better than the previous, underdeveloped system.

He sighed "Ah, but first I have to destroy this system."

And so he destroyed the system, an extremely painful experience, but he withstood it. With difficulty of course, because destroying one's system is like ripping out their heart while burning them alive while spitting on them, and insulting their family.

So basically really f**king bad, physically and emotionally.

He silently mumbled, "I could've killed God at the cost of my life before, because you were, only A+ Rank."

"I wonder if I'll be able to meet the creator of the original system..." he wondered out loud.

He then created a new and better system.

The creator of a new system said "Alright, let's see it now, system."

"So an Exp-based system," He sighed "Useful until Rank B-."

He then went and killed monsters, humans from other worlds, with ease. Not even the strongest creature in the mortal realm knows that they are humans.

He also wondered if he should combine the hearts, he thought he shouldn't.

He decided to combine the hearts.

He combined the Blood and Fire Element heart and the Ice and Wind Element heart.

It created a mix of Blood, Fire, Wind, and Ice heart.

He decided it was useless and used to upgrade his system so it had a shop.

He sold the hearts of the monsters.

Suddenly, there was a crack in reality above him.

Out stepped a darkened Angel, covered in a black mist, emanating an aura of death, with two slim, scythe-like wings that provide a chilling atmosphere. He carries a weapon of pure death energy.

A Fallen Angel of Death, rare that one decided to appear in a mortal realm, but for good reason, of course, confronting one of the most powerful and terrifying beings in a lower form.

"Ah, so a B Rank Angel decides to challenge me," He said aloud, "Such a shame it would be killed with only E+ Rank skills."

The Fallen Angel attacked him with a slash from his deathly sword.

"You will pay for the death of my people," screamed the Fallen Angel, "DIE ETER-"

Before the Fallen Angel could finish saying the certain being's name, he was turned to ash with the skill Curse of Soul.

"Can't have you saying my name now," he barely said while experiencing a f**k ton of pain, "Not my fault your people were weak, perhaps I should combine the heart of them with the Abyssal Demon heart I have."

The protagonist then took the heart of the Fallen Angel of Death.

"I feel weak for some reason now," He said of a feeling unconsciousness took over him "the backlash of the skill..."

He then fell unconscious and when he woke up he was in the middle of a barren landscape with a throne of Hellfire and the husk of an eerily familiar creature on it.

"No, no, no, impossible!" said the first Awakened of Humanity in dread, still there.

"Haha, thanks for letting me use your body, Specter." said the eerily unfamiliar creature in a neutral tone.

"T-The being s-should've killed you b-by now!" said the frightened Specter.

"Just bring out the person even the Master of the Abyss fears." complained the humanoid creature who knew all too well who he was referring to.

Specter mumbled in fear, "F-Fine...."

So Specter brought out the certain being who was currently residing in him.

"Ah, the Creator of Low-level Dragons, The One Who Barely Escaped the Abyss's Firstborn," the certain being said, "How many may I be of assistance?"

"Give me the Key of Demons." demanded The Creator of Dragons

"Now, now, why would I give you my heart?" said the certain being, "I have to live, after all."

Threatened the Escapee of the Abyss's Firstborn, "Give me it and I won't kill Specter."

"Should I kill your constellation, The Draconic Demon Hybrid?" said the certain being with hostility, "I mean, he would be happy for his "masters" return, even if it meant death."

"W-What? HOW?!" shouted the Chosen of the Draconic Demon Hybrid.

"That's what I thought, need I also kill that child of yours because you threatened me?" asked the certain being.

"This is exactly why I sealed you through the Dragons." mumbled the person who was scared that their child might die.

As soon as he said that the throne of Hell's fire engulfed him all that was left was his bones, but he was still alive.

"That Draconic heart of yours might prove useful, take a demon heart instead." said the being who was formerly one of the strongest but decided to get away from the battle of life and death.

Then the being who started as something less than F- Rank, so much of a disgrace even Death itself, didn't want to claim him, took the Heart of the being who created a Dragon and replaced it with a regular Demon Heart.

"The Creator of Low-level Dragons, Dracon, your Heart will now become the Key of Dragons." said the voice of the person who took out the heart.

After he said that, the Heart turned into a key with the shape of a dragon.

Dracon was silently cursing him while the protagonist left the wasteland to go back to normal society.

"Let's hope the Ashen Realm doesn't come to me again...." said the being who was reacting to a fear instilled in everyone, primitively fearing the place he mentioned.

The Ashen Realm is a place where life is still, nothing new made, nothing old gone. Someone considered a God would only be an ant there.

The protagonist at his peak would be below average, an A-Rank being, powerful enough to kill a being who could create a universe and live, would be below average. An A+ Rank being would be strong but not overly strong, an S Rank being, being strong enough to kill countless Gods with a bat of an eye, would be a legend. An S+ Rank, the highest known Rank, would be a God there.

Suddenly, the protagonist disappeared and was knocked out cold.

He then after an unknown amount of time woke up while dying.

He thought, "So this is my end? What a joke, lying on the floor in a puddle of my blood.

Pathetic. Fine, whatever. Let it be over with then, I might as well embrace it.

Life or death is such a feeble concept, I was once in the middle, so interesting.

I wanted to live a peaceful life, but it seems my past has come to haunt me.

If this is the end, I accept it. I'm beyond the point of no return now."

"System, Status..." were his last words.

And with that, the protagonist died for the first time.

<Year Sealed to 2066>

When one is sealed and then are unsealed, they have been "Awoken," this is common knowledge for beings who are interested in it, even lowly humans.

"So I have Awoken... interesting," mumbled Eternity.

"Combine the Fragments of Night into the weapon Night using the skill Combination, and activate the skill Description on it," commanded Eternity.

The fragments of Night combined into a black longsword with silver highlights, but missing the diamond in the guard. It is a longsword because Eternity wished it so but it can be anything the user wants.

<Name: Night (90% Power as incomplete)

Rank: Unknown

Description: A blade of the Origin. The formless weapon was used by a son of the Origin, Nova as his main weapon. It was lost after Nova entered the mortal realm. The legendary weapon was later found by The Demon, Eternity, and broke into 14 pieces after killing The Death Vampire, Atlas. The first 13 pieces of the blade were found in Atlas's corpse and as for the 14th piece, was sealed in the Soul Flame of Spectre. If the 14th piece is removed, humanity's first Awakened, Spectre, will die. Also contains traces of the Origins' blood and even less power of the Fate. It is still insanely powerful even while being incomplete as it was made in the Demonically Divine Realm>

"So my main weapon is finally back and the 14th piece is within Spectre, interesting..." thought Eternity.

With his main weapon in hand, Eternity left Purgatory and went to try kill the person who killed him.

The person who killed him was the Soul Demon Crimson with the help of the Soul Demon Azure.

This pair of Soul Demons are Rank A, very powerful compared to Eternity at that time. The pair killed Eternity as their entire family were murdered by him for seemingly no reason.
