Chapter 1 Transmigration

"Ahh, there is nothing quite like ripping out a heart while someone is still alive. Oh... god damn it! One of these days I'll be able to say that out loud and the person will still be alive for a little bit." I sighed in frustration as a large pool of blood surrounded me.

'God I'm bored, killing people is all well and good but after a while...huuh whatever.' I was just about to order a thermal cleaning at my position when a strange light surrounded me. 'Well, this is new,' was the last thought that went through my head as I passed out.

Slowly, I woke up to a flashing light in front of my face, as soon as the blurriness in my vision disappeared a disembodied voice started speaking, and a white screen with red highlights appeared before me.

|Congratulations! You and every other human on your planet have been transported to another world! You are tasked with creating a thriving Empire if you are in the top 100 ruling Empire rankings then you can choose to return to your planet or stay here.

'What the actual fuck is going on right now! Sure I've read some novels like this before, I even tried to write something like this, but fuck! I didn't think or even believe that it was possible. Ok, shit, I have to start doing incredible things to get achievements and better rewards. At least that's what I remember happening in all the stories I read. I just need to confirm one thing first.'

"Hey System, I've read a lot about systems helping people but also systems that take over or otherwise betray the people they are helping in the long run, so what type of system are you?"

|Notice: An Emperor or Empress needs to be cautious and aware of their surroundings, for being the first person to ask this question in over 50,000 years you will be given two SSS-Ranked skills. To answer your question the system is only here to help you in any way that it can. However, it does follow the principle of equal exchange, if you want something you must offer something of equal value. It will offer up any information that is free though as long as you ask the right questions.|

"How in the fuc… you know what it doesn't matter. System, how do I open up the random chests and what are the two SSS skills I received?"

|Notice: You will receive your skills once you have been transported to a random selection of land that you will turn into your first town. Please select five treasure chests now.|

As soon as the voice stopped speaking I realized that A, I was floating in an abyss of darkness, and B, for some reason I wasn't freaking out as much as I should be. Before I could thoroughly explore that thought though, trillions and trillions of different colored lights started to swarm toward me. In the blink of an eye everywhere I looked there were chests of different sizes, colors, and variations.

|Notice: Please pick five chests.|

(5 Hours later)

|Notice: Please confirm that you have chosen 1 Scarlet Abyss Treasure Chest, 1 Platinum Treasure Chest, 1 Library Treasure Chest, 1 Astral Silver Treasure Chest, and 1 Royal Mother of Pearl Treasure Chest.|

|Notice: Please confirm that these are the Treasure Chests that you would like to bring with you.|

|Y/N|

"Well, seeing as you wouldn't give me the ranks of the chests for free. I chose what I thought would be the highest, but to answer your question yes, these are the chests I chose."

|Notice: Confirmation accepted, now transporting you to a random location.|

In what felt like an instant I was transported from the inky darkness of the void to a very hot and very sunny island. Looking around, I seemed to be on a tall mountain cliff. Just as I was about to open my map to look around my territory and open my treasure chests, the ground around me started to shake and the heat increased 10-fold.

|Notice: Do you claim this territory as your own?|

|Y/N|

"Ye...

|WARNING WARNING WARNING|

|Notice: The volcano in your territory has become active and will erupt in 10 seconds, 9 seconds.|

"What the fuck!! SYSTEM!!! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO SURVIVE, NOW YOU TRANSPORT ME TO AN ACTIVE FUCKING VOLCANO?!!"

|5 Seconds|

|4 Seconds|

|3 Seconds|

|2 Seconds|

"God motherfucking damn it!! I get sent to a new world and die immediately, I thought I had high luck?!!"

|1 second |

As soon as the timer hit zero, there was a huge explosion behind me. I turned around just in time to see a large chunk of molten rock fly through my stomach as I was launched into the sky.

|Notice: -200 HP You are dead|

|Notice: The System has sacrificed 200 MP for 1 HP|

|Congratulations! You have gained the title: Back from the Dead|

|Notice: You will die in three seconds from massive blood loss.|

|Notice: The System is automatically opening your chests to try and find a cure.|

|Notice: Opening Royal Mother of Pearl Treasure Chest, you have been awarded 1 Royal Castle Blueprint, a one-time use Race Change, you hav…|

|Notice: The System has found a life-saving item, you will now go through a race change.|

|Notice: Your race has changed to align with your subconscious preferences as well as the most optimal chances of survival.|

|Notice: Congratulations! You are now an Eternal Flame Vampire Fox|

|Congratulations! You are the first person to become immortal, you have been rewarded 1 SS-rank Blood Spring and 1 S-rank Dungeon Core.|

|Notice: You have exited your territory, as you never officially claimed that territory you will be transported to a new territory.|

"WAIT!" I screamed, not wanting to be transported to another volcano eruption. However, it was too late as light surrounded my body and I disappeared out of the sky.
