Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End

[ Commence: Prologue of the End ]

A voice reverberated across the planet called Terra, as the land begun shaking. dark clouds began covering the sun's ray turning day to night, as numerous pillars of light began to envelope random living beings turning some to some sort of eldritch like creatures

"What's happening?!" exclaimed a boy trapped beneath rubble from the collapsed buildings

As the chaos unfolded, a blinding light engulfed the land and its inhabitants. Cracks tore through the air with a deafening rumble, plunging everything into darkness.

"What happened? Where am I?"

"Hello? Anyone there?!"

"It seems.. I'm alone"

"What's going to happen now"

"Okay, so I'm buying groceries then there's a voice and earthquakes, Wait, is this the rapture?!!"

"no, there's no trumpet or angels so what the fuck happe-?!?"

His words was cut off by the sudden appearance of a voice and words that suddenly appeared in front of him

[ Commencing Rota Fortunae ]

[ Error fate UNKNOWN ]

The boy then felt a headache, like his brain is exploding or something

" I thought brain can't feel pain?!!"

" Arrggg!"

[ Error! ANOMALY FOUND]

[ Error ]

[ Erro- ]

As the voice keeps repeating 'error' the more headache the boy is experiencing making him shivering and shuddering in pain as he gasped for air until he blacked out from the pain

Then.

" The Pandora's Box " ( The Chaotic Coffer )

Rank: ( F ) / ( S ) { unrankable }

The Chaotic Coffer is a small, ornate chest crafted from ancient, weathered wood, decorated with intricate carvings that seem to writhe and shift when observed. Its surface is etched with cryptic runes and sigils, hinting at the dark power contained within. Despite its normal appearance, the Chaotic Coffer emanates a palpable aura of malevolence and unpredictability, enticing the daring and the desperate to unlock its secrets.

Power and Effect:

-" Chaotic Invocation ": Upon opening the Chaotic Coffer, the user is enveloped in a swirling maelstrom of chaotic energy, which infuses them with newfound power and potential.

-" Desired Loss Manifestation ": The chaotic energy within the coffer taps into the deepest desires of the user, twisting and distorting them into manifestations of loss. Whatever the user desires most in that moment is sacrificed, replaced by its polar opposite or negated entirely.

-" Empowerment through Sacrifice ": Paradoxically, the act of surrendering one's most cherished desires grants the user supernatural abilities or attributes that align with the nature of their loss. These powers are fueled by the chaos unleashed by the coffer and serve as both a boon and a burden to the user.

-" Single Use ": The Chaotic Coffer is a one-time use item, and once opened, its powers are unleashed with no possibility of containment or reversal. The user must carefully consider their desires before unlocking the coffer, as there is no turning back once the chaotic energies are unleashed.

(A/N: I'll provide profiles for new items, skills etc that I will introduce. note that these profiles can only be seen by others if they're a reader like you guys lol or have some analysis type of skill)

(A/N: or they just have hax, like instinct to tell them how dangerous( rank ) the item is and "some" of it's capabilities)

After a hour or so the boy waked up looking at his surroundings with confusion

" Where's this again? ", he ask himself

" Ah right some apocalyptic shit happened and then torture with headaches ",he said as he began to notice again the floating words infront of him

[ Rota Fortunae: The Pandora's Box § ]

[ Do you want to use the item received? Y / N ]

"As the boy looked at the item floating in front of him, he started to feel dizzy and drawn to it. It was like he was losing touch with reality, like nothing else existed except him and the box. Just as he was about to reach out to click 'yes,' even though he didn't know what that meant or will do, but then a voice echoed through the darkness, jolting him and snapping him back to his senses."

[ Commence: Prologue of the End ]

[ COMPLETE ]

A blinding light then engulfed everything again as he closed his eyes worrying to what comes next

[ Welcome inhabitants of Planet: Terra ]

[ Please pick your class and start your story towards the End ]

As he hear those words, he open his eyes to see the same floating text in front of him

" What is this? What does it mean by class? "

[ Notice: A "class" is a vocational archetype that bestows upon individuals a unique set of abilities, skills, and talents ]

" Wow "

" I can't understand shit it's saying besides the giving us powers, so we're like became a superheroes? "

" Let's see what you got "

[ Class :

-Mage

-Fighter

-Support

-Marksman

-Assasin

-Tank ]

" So I'm like in a video game now, but why is it only few? "

"So, a mage is someone who casts spells. It'd be nice to control fire. A fighter is someone who fights up close, right? Mages do magic damage, and fighters do physical damage. A support probably heals and helps out. Are marksmen those who shoot from far away using bows? Do guns count here? An assassin is like a fighter, I think, but they're more about quick damage and sneaking around. And a Tank is like the shield guy, though it'd be funny if instead of a shield, they had like the M1 Abrams drop in front of them, haha"

" Wait the voice respond to me earlier right? maybe I can ask it where I am right now? "

(A/N: or ask it what the classes do? and not just assume what it is?)

[ Notice: Irregular ( #$-¢¥∆£ ) is currently in the Astra, a new dimension that emerges from the destruction of the world: Terra ]

" Terra is my world right? "

[ Notice: Yes ]

" So how am I still alive?? "

[ Notice: Project "Prologue of the End" teleport the inhabitants of the World: Terra to the Void resulting most individuals survival and then transport to the new dimension Astra ]

" Wait, what do you mean by most?? "

[ Notice: Inhabitants of the World: Terra being devoid of mana and being controlled by fate and karma are vulnerable and also so compatible to mystic energy that cause them mutation turning them to an eldritch creature like the original inhabitants of the void ]

" I don't understand, what do you mean by mystic energy? and how are we so vulnerable to something we're so compatible with? "

[ Notice: Mystic Energy are a type of energy that was created from the origin energy-the energy of everything, it gives power to individuals beyond there understanding base to the type of energy they have access, for instance mana, a less potent energy that is a catalyst for the creation of anything physical, because of it being a catalyst to anything that is observable physically, it's holder was grant the ability to influence or some what control them like those that was called fire mage that have connection to heat giving them the ability to manipulate the heat in their surroundings while using their mana to act as a fuel and container, even though it's a primitive way of utilizing it as it's more efficient and effective if they just manipulate the heat of an area and containing it, lowering the temperature of that area to create ice then reinforcing it using your mana making it stronger and not like wasting it to act as a fuel costing you so much of your mana

Inhabitants of the World: Terra lack of mystic energy but they compensated with adaptability, they're body are like blank canvas that was then filled with paint. As the body was exposed to the energy, it then start to adapt, evolving their body to accustomed the energy using the same mystic energy coursing through them but while being compatible to it, they're vulnerable to it's negative effects like mutation, the body take or process the energy more than it can handle that force the body to adapt to the overflowing energy gaining them characteristics similar to the original holder of that said energy. The energy that we used to transport you to the void is called ether a dark energy that null almost everything. It's original holder are the outer creatures, even though I said that the characteristics of those that mutated are gain from the original holders/user it's really not it's just that the characteristics they gain, that form are the most ideal form to handle and use that said energy, though the same can't be said to the individual as they just turn crazy or a mindless eldritch creature as they can't handle the power or the process of mutation ]

(A/N: A world created using mana being devoid of it? And yes he ( the MC ) didn't comprehend it so like he didn't understand that flaw from the systems explanation, he's pretty dumb right now or is he?)

" Well shit, I didn't understand most of the thing said again, can you like summarize it or something? "

[ Notice: Mystic Energy are every type of energy that grant the user abilities beyond understand like creating fire, teleporting etc

Inhabitants of the World: Terran are so compatible with almost any energy that they absorb it evolving their body to handle that energy but also vulnerable to it causing them mutation because of the energy they absorb because it's more than they can handle turning them into mindless creature ]

" Ah, but what if they're like can handle that said mutation, like thay still retain their mind but not the body "

[ Notice: Individuals like those have a strong will that cause them to retain their minds and like I stated individuals that experienced mutation will only turn into a mindless creature when they can't handle the mutation that happened to them ]

" I see.. they must be really strong "

" What am I going to do agai- "

His voice was cut short by the new voice and letters appearing in front of him

[ Warning: Individuals that didn't choose a class in the given time will be given a random class]

[ Warning: Teleporting the World: Terra's inhabitants to the new World: Earth ]

" Wait there's a timer??! ", he exclaimed as white light began to envelope him again

" Well fuc- "
