Alternate Reality

He could only use that spell once in a battle the way it was now. He was mostly geared toward being a mage. Who could also politely kick major a** when the time arose. He instantly maxed out his only ridiculously powerful spell.

<New spell level up>

...

...

...

<Atmokinesis: All spells and skills have a maximum range of 200 meters. All related abilities have increased in power by 200%. Level: Max. 50 MP per minute. Cast time instant.>

<By maxing out this skill you now have complete control of the atmosphere within your spell range. You can have sunny day or summon a massive hurricane at will. The sky is at your fingertips, literally.>

Now that's more like it!"

'This can't be right though.' He thought.

It seemed that everything that's been happening to him since obtaining the System has be geared to making him more powerful. Was him being the 1st human to survive, that big of a deal? Or was it that what's coming in the future just that incredibly powerful?"

Qwen was by no mean invincible. He could still easily die. One false move and he could still end up on the wrong end of a gun barrel, spell or blade. The latter happening in the future. He had to be extremely careful. He is more powerful here on earth but to the dungeon beasts, how would he fair?

More people will be able to survive the black outs now de to the game. They would be fighting the weak level 1 to level 5 monsters fairly soon in the game. All the characters have to kill 100 of every type of monsters. Whether in a group of 4 or alone. In the game if a group is used then everyone has to kill 25 of every type.

This was the best training when these people experienced a blackout themselves.

Next turning his mind back to himself. Qwen took his time and thought carefully. He had 22 more points. He could use them his SP but, that would be a waste. He could buy a new spell or skill, max it out and have a stronger effect than a few stat points. Beside, he would get 5 stat points upon each level up so this was a better option.

He was lacking in spells diversity. He could purchase 3 spell and level 3 of them to level to max and use the rest on the other 2 spells with Shop Points.

With that in mind Qwen looked at which spells he could afford. Most intermediate spells or skills cost around 15,000 to 30,000 GP depending on rarity.

He searched through the spell list for anything that caught his eye.

He found 3 new abilities would help him and purchased them instantly.

<Incorporeal form. For a short period of time, you can become invisible by shedding the matter in your body. Can still be harmed by spirit attacks. Level 1. 1000 MP for every 10 seconds.>

<Regeneration. A heal over time spell. The spell can heal anyone back to top condition with enough time. Can restore lost limbs. Can dispel any basic poisons up to level 10. 1500 MP spell last for 5 minutes.>

<Engraving skill. Using mana you can engrave spells onto weapons armors, or other materials. The materials must be able to contain mana within. Level 1.>

Use 10 Shop Points on the Engraving skill.

<You have maxed engraving skill. Do you want to merge this skill with the perfect digital coding skill? Due to merging a system skill with a newly created skill, the results can have negative affects and the skills will both be lost or they will bind successfully. Do you wish to proceed? Yes or No?>

Qwen trusted in his luck, it hadn't failed him so far. He mentally selected yes. This time the pain came back full force. Blood dripped from every hole in his head and all he knew was pain.

He instantly cast regeneration on himself just in case and felt the pain lessen but not by much. At least now he didn't feel like he was halfway in deaths door. He felts like his brain was literally melting. After a few seconds more of hellish pain be fore it stopped. Qwen was face down the dirt attempting to gasp for air. At the same time, notice sounded from the System informing him of his success. Leaving him with a bitter smile.

<New Skill obtained 'Liquid Mana Engraving'. Your digital code and mana has fused to create a new type of engraving ability! You are able to bring the digital world to life and life to the digital world using Earths simplistic coding and the System engraving ability, that only you can decipher. Level Max. Cost 50 MP.>

Qwen heart pounded at his new kill and it was already maxed out! So..so...I can make the game a reality? Qwen need time to think about that before actually doing it. He used magic to rinse his face and turned his attention towards his house. This skill sent chills down his spine. Would the System allow him to give the system out earlier? He could give access to his actual shop to people. He would grey out any spells he didnt want people to use and allow access to skills with his control over the shop. Their digital gold would turn into real gold that he could use in his shop!

"System can I use my new skill this way?"

<Sending request to GM>

<Please wait....>

...

...

<Longer than expected wait times. System will notify you when response provided.>

'So....they need more time to think about?' Qwen shrugged a focused on his training.

With his 'Atomsphere' spell all related spells are under his control and they are mana per minute.

Walking into his back yard he was greeted by a cool breeze and a clear nights sky. The place had essentially turned into his personal training grounds. He though about the skill. He closed his eyes and felt for the wind. It was as though the wind responded to his every wish.

He lifted his palm and instinctively knew how much to cool the moisture in the air. Or how to compact the atom of air and formed a cloud. He lifted the cloud with his thoughts over his head. He made the cloud expand and surround him like a sphere.

The then added the wind element inside of the 2 foot thick cloud sphere. Next was lightening element to add extra destructive power. He the added atmospheric pressure condense the space. He effectively created a shield made of atmospheric elements!

The winds were hundreds of miles per hour along with atmospheric pressure will make it nearly impossible to penetrate this barrier. At least Qwen had hoped. The elements didn't bother him at all. He was resistant to many elements it seems.

Dispersing his new creation he began testing other aspects of the skill. He conjured all kinds of weapons. Wind blades, whips, bows. He was able to do the same with ice, fire, and lightning type weapons. He made armor out of each element and found suprises. Besides the elemental damage They each had great maneuverability within his 200 meter sphere of influence.

Wind and fire together doubled the speed of some spells. Wind and water allowed him the ability move around without making any sounds. he would literally slide on the ground ontop of ice that formed under his feet.

The wind and water type armor allowed him to breath in different elements. The lightning and ice armor allowed him to move at break neck speeds while have the durability and weight of a massive block of ice thats able to break the sound barrier or higher.

Qwens favorite thing to do? Flight. Of course learning this one wasnt without its hiccups. He had to actually control the wind. He studied and perfected aerodynamics but nearly died a few times doing so.

Qwen continued training throughout the night. With his higher stamina, he was able to train uninterrupted. He trained with creating water instantly and freezing it to create large ice spears launching them into the trees as targets.

With his higher wisdom stat, his control over the spell improved. He froze entire trees until they exploded and peppered the house some. The large pieces of frozen tree would have killed him with out his bracelet with a mana shield. He hadn't even had time to erect his own mana barrier.

Him nearly dying was seemingly starting to become common place in his weird training. With his universal mind his skills continued to improve. He had to be ready for the system. Lives were at stake. Plus, admittedly he looked forward to the prospect of getting stronger and battling monster. He was itching to test his new abilities.

Finally, feeling tired of practicing, Qwen went inside and upstairs to take a shower. He was consider heading off to bed but before he could do so he received a message.

<Permission granted by the System to alternate reality.>

<Permission granted by the System. You are able to grant humans the System but not from the game. It would be your system. The shop function will be the same. You will have the ability to decide who uses your personal shop function.>

'I'm going to alternate reality.'

Essentially that was happening. Yet, alternate reality sounded like changing a timeline or something. He didn't know and he felt like the decision was too great for just himself but who was around to ask?'

The implications of this decision weighed on him heavily. Qwen went to his kitchen cabinet to remove a glass and poured a cup of liquor. Qwen went over to his PC and quickly located the top gaming forum for 'Systems End'.

He typed in a 'Topic' section 'if you could bring everything from the game into reality because it could save mankind would you do it? If so, what happens to the world then, though?'

Qwen pressed the send button and waitied for responses. In minutes, there were tens of responses. As he read he drank. Hours went by and the comments only grew more in numbers the liquid in the bottle got a bit smaller every hour.

"...GutenNheadbuttem: who wouldn't....."

...Gam3rchickmixed2: thinking of being able to cast spells is a dream come true...

...Clericwitmerits: to actually have a system would save countless lives....

.....MedicalMage234: the medical implications are godly.

'Save countless lives.' He though back to the mother and father of the goblins. How many others failed before Qwen got his lucky break. Failure to meet the System requirements meant death. How man more may be able to save themselves.

The blackouts hadn't stopped. The monsters had become more powerful or more numerous. This was the main reason for Qwens training. He haunted by notifications requesting him to teleport but provides a warning that he isn't strong enough or have enough members in his party. When they went away, another person died. He wouldnt be the only person fighting and he would have help.

He walked over to his computer station and picked up his gaming helm. Taking a deep breath, he engraved System Integration on his helm and applied his intent on the entire universe. To bring its dynamics into reality!

His mana drained rapidly as two green and black liquid tendrils etched the engraving into the helmet. The helmet glowed a bright green and floated into the air for a few seconds before dimming down and losing the shining luster. It looked like a normal helmet the Engravings seemingly disappeared.

Nearly completely drained of mana Qwen nearly passed out on the floor where he stood.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world had no clue what Qwen had done.The green tendrils spread and englulfed the entire universe of Systems End like a massive net. Any sentient object in the game felt the effect of the tendrils. The players were mostly affected. No matter what they were doing they all were suddenly wracked with pain and bled feom their faces....in and out of the game!

The ayers in the game, read words infront of their eyes as they gasped for air from the pain.

<Do you want to integrate into the System?>

<Yes or No?>
