Chapter 6

[Level Up!]

[+3 Stat Points gained, All stats +1]

[Ailments Recovered!]

'Finally, level 20!' Antares sighed as he stabbed another Chitauri in the chest.

[50 Exp gained]

[25 gold gained]

Just as Antares was about to kill another Chitauri, they all collapsed including the Leviathans. Antares looked towards the portal and saw the man in the ironsuit from earlier falling from the portal as it abruptly closed.

'Damn, there goes my Exp.' Antares said as he jumped on top of a building and a holographic screen appeared.

[Job selection available.]

'What is a Job?' Antares asked and the system explained.

[A Job is a specification that can give various skills and stat boosts, along with stat point increases.]

'Interesting, I would like to select a job.' Antares said and a red holographic screen appeared.

[!Warning! Host will be temporarily knocked out, the system will erect a protective barrier.]

'Alright.' Antares said as he blacked out.

'Where the hell am I?' Antares asked as he woke up in a dark space with a red moon as the only source of light. A clear liquid rippled as Antares stood up.

'Hey system where am I?' Antares mentally asked but there was no answer. Antares tried using his abilities and felt nothing. Antares slightly panicked and tried accessing his inventory. Antares felt no connection and was baffled until he heard a voice.

"Welcome to the Chaos Plane, Antares." A woman's voice said and Antares looked around and found no one.

"Who are you!? What did you do to me?!" Antares asked angrily and the voice chuckled.

"Who am I? If you were the King of Dragons in your past life then I am the Supreme God of Dragons, although I am infinitely times stronger than any God will ever be." The voice said with another laugh and Antares grew more suspicious.

"That doesn't tell me anything! What happened to my system and why can't I use my abilities!?" Antares asked as he demanded an answer.

"Watch your tone boy. I will explain everything you need to know if you would be patient." The voice said with seriousness and Antares shut up.

"First and foremost, my name is Tiamat the Primordial Goddess of Chaos, Destruction, and Dragons." The voice now known as Tiamat said as she appeared. Tiamat was a beautiful red-haired woman with red glowing eyes and an hourglass figure. Antares nodded and Tiamat continued.

"In this multiverse, there are only two omnipotent beings. Myself and TOAA." Tiamat said and Antares was confused.

"Who is TOAA? What is a multiverse?" Antares asked and Tiamat giggled.

"For someone older than most cosmic beings you are quite uninformed. Anyways, the multiverse is basically multiple realities. These realities could differ from the one a person could be in." Tiamat explained and Antares understood.

"The One Above All is the other omnipotent being I spoke of. He was the one who created your system and Marvel. Marvel is the name of the multiverse you were reincarnated in." Tiamat said.

"So why am I here?" Antares asked.

"I brought you here to tell you the truth of your system and what TOAA really wants from you." Tiamat said and Antares was really confused now.

"TOAA in short is a sadist and looks to have fun at the cost of others. Allow me to show you an example." Tiamat said as she allowed Antares to see 4 years in the future.

"4 years in the future you will reach level 1,000. As high of a level that maybe TOAA has no intention of letting you really grow stronger. You may be getting stronger now but by level 1,000 that rate will slow down dramatically, to the point in which getting a level will take years." Tiamat said but Antares wasn't convinced.

"If that's the case why would he give me a system in the first place? He could just give me a strong ability that had a dangerous drawback." Antares said and Tiamat facepalmed.

"He's a sadist, he wouldn't want his entertainment getting strong from the start. He's very patient and loves to see his entertainment rise and fall into despair." Tiamat said and Antares still wasn't convinced.

"But by me reaching level 1,000 I would be stronger than most things in existence, right? I mean the system told me once I reach level 10,000 I could learn of its creator. By the time I'm level 10,000 I would be nigh-omnipotent." Antares said and he finally understood.

"He loves seeing his entertainment's despair as he creates something stronger than them. The amount of times that's it's happened is countless." Tiamat said and Antares was furious.

"So I was reincarnated for entertainment!? I would rather stay dead and float in the void for eternity than be someones entertainment!" Antares shouted as he clenched his fists tight.

"Hence why I have brought you here, it wasn't TOAA who reincarnated you, it was me. Before I could get the chance to grant you the abilities I wanted to give you, TOAA took you from under the rug. I let him have you as fighting over one soul in a single reality isn't worth my time." Tiamat said.

"Then why am I here now? Shouldn't you just let him use me as entertainment and reincarnate the next soul!?" Antares outraged.

"Simply because I knew this day would come. I may not have been willing to fight but I wouldn't let a sadist like him take my Chosen." Tiamat said and Antares calmed down a little bit.

"Then what are your intentions with me?" Antares asked.

"To grant you the abilities you were supposed to get upon reincarnation, along with tweaking your system." Tiamat said and Antares was interested now.

"What abilities?" Antares asked as he tried to hide his eagerness.

"Allow me to give you a little bit more backstory. TOAA created a being called the Phoenix Force. It represents life, creation, and destruction. Although it doesn't need a host it prefers to use one for some reason. Anyways, It has multiple weaknesses but one of those weaknesses is Chaos." Tiamat said as she smiled.

"Chaos is something I'm very very good at. So to spite TOAA I decided to create the opposite of the Phoenix Force. I call it the Chaos Force." Tiamat said as the red moon turned into a crimson dragon of titanic proportions.

"So what I was supposed to get was this Chaos Force?" Antares as he looked at the dragon and already named it, 'Great Red.'

"Yes but to keep the main reality safe I have put limiters on the Chaos Force and those limiters will release until you reach level 100 and the system will no longer assist you in your growth. Which means it will be a glorified storage and shop." Tiamat said and Antares nodded.

"Now, allow the transfer to begin." Tiamat said as the giant dragon turned into a small red ball that emitted an ominous aura and flew inside of Antares' chest. Antares immediately started to change. His hair turned dark red and his eyes turned blood red and his pupils turned into slits. Under his eyes, he gained four marks two for each eye.

"I feel amazing." Antares said as he examined his new body.

"As a little bonus, the Chaos Force changed your race to the dragon that now inhabits you." Tiamat said and a red portal opened.

"I also sped time up a lot, constant action keeps people on their toes. When you wake up it'll be 2016, have fun!" Tiamat said as she pushed Antares into the portal before he could say something.

[January 22nd, 2016]

A red portal opened and a red-haired young man flew out of it.

"Damn, she didn't have to push me so hard!" Antares said as he stood up and looked at his surroundings. Antares was in the alleyways of Manhattan.

"If four years have passed it means I'm no longer j highschool, I don't think I have an ID." Antares said as another red portal opened and 2 cards fell out with a note.

'One of them is an ID and the other is a card with unlimited USD.

-Tiamat'

"Hais, thanks I guess." Antares said as he picked the cards up and walked out of the alleyway. Before Antares could leave the alleyway 6 thugs blocked his path.

"Whatcha doin' here boy?" The lead thug asked as the others pulled knives and bats.

"Hais, I'm leaving." Antares said as a red holographic screen appeared.

[Monarch System updated!]

[Due to your race change you have gained +50 STR, +50 AGL, +50 INT, +90 VIT, +50 SENS]

[New skills gained, Chaotic Telekinesis, Chaos Force Blasts, Chaos Magic, Chaos Dragon Body]

"Ya' not leavin' without handin' over some cash, get em' boys." The lead thug said as the other 5 thugs charged Antares.

"Chaos Magic: Devils Hex." A red aura shrouded Antares and a reddish-black bolt of Chaos Magic hit the first thug and the thug started to turn red.

"HELP MEE AAHHHH!!" The thug started to turn red and began turning into a red goop.

"Chaos Magic: Rising Hell." Antares said as the red goop turned into a tall red devil.

"Charge." Antares commanded and the red devil began slaughtering the thugs until he killed them all.

[250 Exp gained]

[50 gold gained]

[Name your spawn.]

'It seems my Exp rate has gone up as well, I'll name this guy Taran.' Antares said as Taran turned into Chaos Energy and flew into his chest.

'Now I'm back for round two, only this time I won't be someones entertainment.' Antares said as he activated Stealth and disappeared.
