Chapter 1 ( light edit )

In the land of Ruinvale that is distinguished by its abundance of ancient ruins from a time long forgotten, a sudden dark storm comes down on the vast lands, covering it in a curtain of thick darkness that is occasionally lit up by purple lightning. Within the darkness numerous bubble shaped barriers rise within as in the center in young man is seen in the middle of it all.

Tokui-ten Pov

I looked around darkness thick and darkness vast as the purple lightning lit up the barriers around as they allowed no light to escape them to the point of reflecting the environment.

Then suddenly a golden panel suddenly appeared in front of me with a robotic emote that spoke.

{Welcome players to Ruinvale a fantasy land, your world was destroyed after you were brought here by higher beings who seek entertainment}

I was shocked that my world was destroyed and wondered why until it mentioned higher beings making my eyes widen in even greater shock as I realized fictional worlds exist, but my thoughts were halted by messages appeared in what looked like a chat showing comments of shocked, and devastated people who learned what happened to their friends and family who are no longer with them.

I however had none of these as I lived a life that can be summed up the quote ' You either wither and die or devour and thrive ', he had no one, relied on nobody, and was ready to die alone,

just than the emote continued to speak

{These higher beings will sponsor a player that entertains them enough and might even become demigods gaining a portion of their power making them even more powerful, your goal is to expand your territory by one of two ways; one, gather resources and loot from chests to expand your territory, two, conquer your fellow player by taking their armies and resources along with their territory while making the defeated player your slave}

3rd Pov

Tokui saw through it all and knew its intensions 'chaos 'he thought as something like this can strike fear into anyone but he is an exception, 'speaking of exception ' he thought as the panel changed showing a prompt

{Warning player without territory detected…running analysis… looking for solution…. Solutions found.

Hello Tokui three options to solve your problem, and two passive skills granted.

Options 1: three pre-selected L class skills that are maxed out, with the ability to instantly find and conquer a low level territory.

Option 2: One permanent race change along with two pre-selected maxed out skills, and one S-class summon to fight for you.

Option3: One mutated permanent race change along with one L+++-class skill, and one L-class summon who will be your fighter and companion.

Granted passive skill:

1: absolute stealth (L-rank) - grants you the ability to be invisible to all around you unless you make them aware of your presence.

(Note: monsters in dungeons and treasure hunting will be made aware of your presence when you acquire a chest, and players will be aware of your presence when you enter their territory. )

2. Sky, Sea, and Earth manipulation (L++-rank) - grants you all elements of the sky, the earth, ant the sea}

'Wow 'Tokui thought seeing just how far these higher beings are going to keep him in this game… perhaps he is special ' naaaa… I just worked hard nothing more 'he dismissively thought as he thought about his options and said out loud "I choose the third option ". The reason why he choose the third option was because the first option would match him against someone and when he conquers their territory he is sure there will be a world announcement and he would like to keep his advantage of stealth while he can.

{Option 3:

Mutated dragon bloodline (L+++-rank): The Gold Killer dragons are a line of golden dragons that are known for keeping all dragons in check, even killing them if they must, they are so powerful they have developed immunity to forms of dragon slaying due to developing their own dragon slaying abilities, they were eventually wiped out by their fellow dragons teaming up against them killing them all living them extinct… until now

Transcended Herald of Nothingness (L+++-rank skill): Due to the life you have lived you have been granted the ability to call forth power from the void granting you numerus abilities that will continue to grow after you acquire a territory.

The condition to acquire this is skill that you must live your life without fear of death and what lies beyond it. }

Tokui was shocked again seeing just how lucky got by not getting a territory but snorted at the requirement for his herald skill, he never feared death because his lived in the outer slums of the great city where all kinds of atrocious things happen and no one batts an eyes seeing what happens,

and he is no exception as there was always a great risk of death, so he slept as little as possible and reading old books and novels he found, until till he managed to get a old gen computer and got it working after multiple failed attempts, than after accessing the great cities network he began to read more books and novels while making some feeding money buy commissioning stories for people on the condition he gets a tenth of the profits which was enough for him to survive without getting any unwanted attention until his transmigration.

{Get ready player you will be unconscious for 12hours while your body and soul are rebuilt }

And before Tokui could say or do anything his consciousness fades as he is covered by golden energy the encapsulates him taking the shape of a egg bigger than a semi-truck as the it glows dimly in the darkness.
