Before The Cataclysm

[Rewritten by 49/51]

A garden inside a realm, covered in trees and filled with animals, was a wonderful and sunny day, but two trees stood in the garden that was more enormous than the rest, one bearing apples while the other bore an unknown magenta fruit. The river that flows through the garden flows down to the endless void below from the floating garden, one the size of a planet. Such a garden was filled with animals without disease nor harm to them, and then stood a handsome man; he had nearly peerless beauty with nothing to compare to him; next to him stood an Angelic figure with multiple wings across her back along with a golden staff being held by the woman.

The place begins to fade to a darker color, but before time can move, the angelic figure flashes forward, striking, and then glass cracks as if the framework of [The Screen] shattered with something stopping such from being seen.

[49/51 Let the Story play out as usual]

So, where do I begin? When did all this chaos start when I was in high school? It seemed weird as I was fortunate to get higher grades from simply guessing; while usually, I'd be happy about it, being lucky is a trait I have, but sometimes it might be too much, like getting lucky and finding hundreds on just the floor. Oh shit, I forgot to give my name! Names Kaida Omikami. Nice to meetcha I'm a Senior even though I'm 19; how should I get started with my story since I'm obviously the best- [Bonk] I got hit in the head by one of my friends because I sounded like one of those. Cultivation of novel side characters or villains, Now it's time to deal with the actual start. The atmosphere was weird when I walked into my classroom because the Teacher was sick and was a substitute; it looked as if they were about to pass out any second. I didn't mind and then went to scroll on my phone; the first of my classes was AP Calculus. It was exceptionally boring hearing stuff about mathematics. Still, due to my memory, I could remember the questions and formulas very quickly, to the point my memory was a godsend, at least to others when they heard that I had a good memory.

It was only a bother for me, especially after everything that happened long ago. That's simply the past I can ignore and focus on now; the Teacher began talking about something crazy. I wouldn't bother listening to science and confusing terms, but every time I try putting my head down, my friend who sits next to me always wakes me up to make me listen; while it's annoying, they're too energetic and happy for me to ruin their mood. I continued listening, wondering when this would be useful; when has math ever been practical other than counting, adding, and multiplying?

"We'll Start off with...."

I'm gonna be living like this and sleeping. I put my head down and fall asleep as the Teacher continues talking to the class with my friend distracted; soon enough, I've fallen asleep, and just the next second, I wake up to see the school empty while I'm inside the pitch black classroom; I had brushed my eyes and saw people wearing their backpacks with it seemingly being the end of class. I got up, put my sketchbook and mechanical pencil in my backpack, and lifted them up. I had to go to my next class, which was even more boring than Calculus; it was Physical Education.

After a few hours of school, I could finally go home and rest. I waited outside for the bus, but while I was waiting, I saw something weird out of the corner of my eye. It was a pitch-black crack opening. Whatever, something like that wasn't possible, and I was tired and probably seeing things. I turned away as my bus was called and got on the bus after struggling to get past so many others rushing towards it.

I've reached where I live, but obviously not exactly. I still had to walk outside the residential area to reach my home. I could get some food before going on a stroll. I walk past some trees, and more trees, and even more trees... This feels odd. I moved for a long while, but it seemed I hadn't moved. But when I looked back, I didn't see my home, just more trees; I began running, only to go at my top speed. As I looked ahead, I saw that I was reaching the store; once I came close to the store, I began slowing down and jogging slowly before going back to walking. I was finally able to enter the store; the place was unusually far away from my home. Whatever, I went inside, got some food, and then left. There was nothing left to do, but right as I was about to leave the store, the lights had all turned off; I looked around and noticed some type of creature. It was large and clearly dangerous. Suddenly, something popped up in front of me. It was as if I was in a game.

[Chaotic System is Initializing]

[Registering User]

[Name is Requested]

Why is it asking me for my name... I'll just tell it my name and get it over with. I don't know what is happening, but I gotta leave before this thing kills me.

"Kaida Omikami"

[Name is registered]

[Kaida Omikami is Granted Access to the Chaotic System]

[Please choose a Nickname]

Another popup? Whatever it looks like, it's stalling the creature before me, so why don't I just stay on this screen and walk away?

[User is unable to move until they finish answering this question]

Oh, For Fucks Sake, whatever, I'll go with my old name or one which I used to have long ago.

"Lilith"

I know some English names; it reminds me of a past I love and hate. I look ahead as the system finishes what it was trying to do.

[Initalization complete, Welcome Lilith to the Chaotic System]

[You have 20 unallocated stat points. Where would you like to put them]

Stat points, this is definitely like a game; I've opened my status window with all my stats being 10, but instead of my intelligence and speed also being 10, they were at 15; I was thinking maybe because of my ability to absorb knowledge like a sponge and also because of me being really tall in general. Instead of increasing my speed more, I had chosen to equalize most of my stats, increasing strength to 15 and durability to 15; the difference was that there was a magic stat. It was at 0, and I could put ten more stat points somewhere. At the same time, I wanted to put it into speed to run away faster; my gut feeling had told me to put all of those points into magic; just as I did it, something happened inside my body as if it was releasing some toxins. Aspects inside my body: I began coughing as some black goo flew out of my body; I noticed the creature getting closer. Quickly, I held in the substance I was throwing up and ran as fast as I could, but I felt a lot faster. It seemed that after gaining these Stat points, I was able to get faster as my body is automatically at its full speed when walking without wasting much energy, so running would be even faster; I had reached the outside of the store relatively quickly, and then I saw what happen to this world, a Dome around our planet somewhat like a Dyson sphere. I noticed the beast was catching up to where I was, and the only place I could think of going right now was at the top of the store; I looked up and jumped only to notice I had reached halfway up the store; I latched onto the side of the sign on the store and got on top of it, I jumped up again but also moved back somewhat so I don't hit my head, I just barely had been able to land on the roof of the building. I looked back at my status window and saw an abilities tab; this was convenient; I could see my powers and which ones I could use for different situations. I opened the tab and looked at the six skills I had.

[Abilities Tab Opened]

[Calm Mind (L.1)]

[Strengthed Physique (L.2)]

[Inventory (L.Max)]

[Swordsmanship (L.10) 50%]

[Leadership (L.10)]

[Zenuanouramasa Summoning (L.Max) {Locked}]

I look at the first three and see nothing abnormal. The fifth and sixth remind me of a long time ago, but for the last one, I feel a sense of nostalgia, something from my past, albeit it's a little embarrassing to remember how I made it. Either way, I can't use it right now, so I have no worries about something like this. Another popup appeared. It was weird.

[Lilith has Unlocked a new tab {Nature} Please check this tab to begin specialization]

Is there a new tab about Nature? I knew it wasn't normal, like creating and changing plants. I clicked on the tab and checked to see what it had.

[Lilith has entered the Nature tab; she is the first to do so. As such, you are allowed to pick two Natures. Speak two words about what Nature you wish to have.]

Two Natures... This is interesting, and I'm the first one to unlock it? I look up as thunder strikes from a bright, sunny sky. I look back and think of what two natures best fit me. After all, I need to have some knowledge of it. After some thought, I had my answer of which ones I wanted.

"The Nature of Creation and the Nature of Evolution."

I will still be able to explain why I picked them. I found them the best for me; I would've picked something like Principles and Laws.

[Natures are chosen, and Lilith has picked creation and evolution; Lilith can now change what creation and evolution mean and loosely warp them or use them once they are trained to Level 1000. Only then will it be able to be used for its full power]

I looked at what it was saying. I didn't mind it taking so long, but they seemed best for my gut instinct. I look down, seeing the creatures roam around endlessly. I could do something cool while leaving this area. It seems too infested with monsters.

 I got up and jumped off the roof. While not straight down, I would use magic to propel myself through the air. Of course, I made sure I didn't hit anything, along with making sure I didn't hurt myself from how fast I flew in the air. Once I landed on the ground, I could feel a little pain in my legs due to the force of my legs touching the ground at such speeds. As I began running through the streets of the city I was in, I could see how fast I moved; I even saw a bullet next to me. I realized my stamina was incredible, assuming it's because my endurance is higher now. I continued running for a few hours at full speed, my stamina finally catching up to me as I began slowing down. I looked around and noticed that I was on top of a bridge, and on the side of the bridge was a camp, probably set up by some people. I had a gut feeling not to go, but nothing could go wrong; I was already strong enough to beat most people here. I jumped down and landed on both my feet. It had hurt a little, but it wasn't that much pain.

"Looks like I'm gonna have fun now, But I should probably hide my power."
