I start examining those roots more closely. A shiny blood red, almost as if made of ruby. Thin like wire, but as I handle it, its extremely tough and rigid. They weave in and out of the skin over my heart.

*ztttttttzzz

I hear a sound. Similar to the static sound of a television, and a screen that looks similar to that appears in front of me. It starts to focus into what looks like a dark red status display.

I feel a coolness wash over me as the screen appears. As I read through it I realize that it must be this 'Steel Mind' perk that keeps my mind from going chaotic again. Mind afflictions. Kind of a broad term, but that may be why the rank of it seems high. There are a couple auxiliary subscreens that explain what some of this means like the ranking system.

Common would be the lowest rank including base species like humans and goblins, which apparently exist. It would also include basic weapons, and perks like slow metabolism.

Next is uncommon which includes species like drow and dwarves. Finely crafted weapons and perks like ambidextrous exist in this category

Rare being the next step up is qualitatively very different, dragonoids and fairies being  examples for species. Magic weapons and perks like my own untraceable are here.

The rest is not given but it seems to go in order as common, uncommon, rare, unique, epic, legendary, mythic, and transcendent.

Ignoring the fact that I'm no longer 100% human for the moment, I start examining the subscreens on levels. Seems I can get stronger by leveling just like in games and I can unlock a class at level 1. The classes available seem to be based on certain prerequisites that have been completed though. Experience is earned by swallowing the golden mist that comes off those you kill. Only the person who gets the kill will be able to swallow the mist, but there are a couple of exceptions.

Unfortunately these spiders seem to have been dead for a while and have probably been drained of their mist already. There was that one spider though. Hmmm, I look at the .6% Greater Arachneva and figure that was the grey spider's species. But was does it mean for me to be .6% spider?..... My mind seems to be working differently, but I think that's because of Steel Mind....

Thinking about it won't do anything for the moment. Just staying here is dangerous. I need to get some experience for the moment. Hmmmm??? I wonder if there is any other  spiders that are still alive....

Gin Cinder's life has lost its luster it had in his youth. Depression kicking in he decides to end it all only to fail. Under a bridge, broken, he would meet an odd individual that would force on him an alternative future.(Kinda cliche, I know)

The Inanis family had grown through the ranks of nobility one by one. The first rank granted to the son of Arthur, being Knight. From there it took two generations for the Inanis family to reach the rank of a baron, two more generations to reach Viscount, and then three more to reach the current rank of Count.
The count was the fifth highest rank in the nobility and above them were the Earl, Marquis, Duke, and finally the King himself.
Usually, a noble family would follow the hereditary rank of the male leader of the family, but some of the family had more ranked nobles underneath them. For example, the sons of a Viscount could be barons or knight themselves, thus gaining more power for the family.
Currently in the Inanis family, there was only one person to have the status of a ranked noble, being Count Gabriel himself. Similar to his father, he was not blessed with more children and only had a sole son.
This greatly restricted the growth of their family and due to Asher not having a gift, it was hard for him to gain merits through the military route, too. Before Lucius had taken over Asher's body, Asher wasn't really considered to be academically good.
He was decent, but not good enough to gain merits that way. That was the reason why Gabriel had chosen to train his son in the military arts. But then his son turned out to be more reckless than expected and rushed headfirst into the battle, wanting to prove himself.
Gabriel watched his son who was sitting close to him, his expression calm. He did not know what was going through his son's head, but he was now starting to like this version of this.
'If he really does prove to be better at academics, I may as well send him to the Royal university.' Gabriel thought.
Gabriel's attention then went to lieutenant John and his wife Alessa, who was carrying their child Cia in her arms.
'That child too… The epic ranked gift 'Thorn mistress' never would have thought it would appear here. It's a shame… if this happened fifteen years ago, I would have asked for a betrothal right away.' Gabriel thought.
Each Epic ranked gifted was an important person and had the potential to greatly benefit a noble family. They were in fact the basis on which most noble families were formed on. Oftentimes, most noble families faded away into history after a generation or two, just because their descendants were not able to inherit the gift of their parents.
This was in the case of uncommon or rare ranked gifts as while they had good potential, they could not be kept up if the next generation did not have them. But in the case of Epic rank gifts, even if they were not inheritable, as long as both of the parents had an epic ranked gift, their child would definitely have an epic ranked gift too.
Since Asher was unable to inherit the Gift of the Inanis family, Gabriel knew that the family may not last another generation unless he did something quickly.
His attention then went to his beautiful wife Lita, who had borne through all the difficulties with him.
~sigh~
'Please goddess Etara, bless us with another chance…' Gabriel wished.
The feast eventually ended, and the people left one by one. Gabriel stood up and bade his son farewell for the night before retiring to his chambers, where he was shortly joined by his wife for a night of pleasure.

Lucius though, headed straight to read the books he had picked out in the evening. These books were suggested by Kain and were related to Gifts, history and everything in between.
"Hmm, so gifts have different consumptions depending on their rarity and their power. Some can be low ranked but have high consumption due to their power being greater while some can be high ranked but still have a low consumption." Lucius read.
It took him a while to read as he had to cross reference between multiple books so as to get their meanings. He still didn't know many words, but Kiana was there to help him read them out. This way he was also learning ahead of the scheduled plan.
He had been told that he could at most stay awake till midnight and not a minute more by his mother. Kiana too was insistent on it and was thus closely monitoring him, not wanting him to exhaust himself when he had barely recovered.
"So there are a total of seven ranks in gifts…" Lucius learned as he looked at the page of a book.
The seven ranks were:
1. Common
2. Uncommon
3. Rare
4. Epic
5. Legendary
6. Mythic
7. Divine
There were also examples of some famous gifts given in the book as well. But Lucius's attention was caught by the second highest ranked Mythic gifts.
"There are three known Mythic gifts in the Grantz kingdom and all of them belong to the different Churches of the gods. And are considered to be holy relics bestowed by the gods themselves." Lucius read.
It was here that he learned there were even objects that could naturally have gifts in them. These objects were different from Artifacts as in that they were actually not manufactured though certain modifications could have been made so as to make them easier to use. The items that were bestowed by gifts like these were called relics and were incredibly rare.
Their value was way beyond a person that had the same rank gift as a relic could last for hundreds of years to come while the person will eventually disappear in the annals of time.
The Church of Alana had the mythic ranked relic called Scepter of Alana. It was said to be able to call forth holy light that could erase sinners from the world.
The Church of Etara had the mythic ranked relic called Tome of Etara. It was said to be able to reveal the secrets of any person that it was used on.
Then there was the Church of Duran that had the mystic ranked relic called Sword of Duran. It was said to be the sharpest sword ever created and could cut through anything.
Reading all this information only made Lucius look forward to the future.

Lucius was a man born to a pair of lowly servants that worked for the Great Demon worshiping Barrom clan. Growing up in the harsh conditions of the Barrom clan where magic and power reigned supreme, he weathered though humiliation and schemes. Knowing that he wanted to be the oppressor than the oppressed, he began his conquest. Not averse to betraying or scheming, Lucius made use of his allies as mere pawns to be sacrificed.

Learning that a powerful artifact lost eons ago was hidden in an ancient ruin, Lucius betrayed and sacrificed one of his closest people, his lover without hesitation.

But he didn’t know that fate had a different plan for him and the artifact he had yearned for would send his soul hurtling across the cosmos, forcing it into the broken body of a young man called Asher Inanis. Coming to his senses he finds the world to be completely different where the magic of his previous world did not exist, but what did was ‘Gifts’.

Witness how he learns about the world, gains power and reigns supreme against all odds becoming the Demonic Sage.


P.S. This is a slow paced novel and has a lot of world development at start. If this is not to your taste, you may not like it.

'Hmm, Jake Justice? Sounds a bit heroic-cliche, but it also sounds pretty cool at the same time. Its got a good ring to it. Besides back at my the military I couldn't even choose my name, now I have the freedom to do whatever I want. Speaking of which I am almost done sending all of my 500 million into my hidden bank account, but I think I have another idea with that money.' Jake goes inside his room and pulls out his laptop. The shining sun gleamed around his room, it had been a long time since he had seen the light. Jake would always hunt at night and take others superpowers, but today he was going to take a more different approach. 

'Now that I think about? Why the fuck am I still in the Batcave? I have gotten all the information and tools/gadgets I need to enhance my power suit and my body. Also, I have learned the truth about Batman who is constructing a powerful superweapon for reasons unknown. If  I stay here any longer it will only stunt my growth. Even though...' Jake looks over at his power suit which was given to him by Batman. During the course of 5 days, Bruce Wayne had been one of Jake's best friends, well... the only friend. But Jake knew it was his time to leave. He eventually knew that he and Batman will cross paths. It was destiny. 

'With all the money I have, I can easily buy a Penthouse apartment complex near the higher class areas. But that would be a waste of money, the only reason why I am still at Bruce's mansion is to save up more money, maybe I should go the cheaper route and buy an apartment that was kind of like Gwen's.' Jake types at his computer and goes house shopping. A mindblowing 10mins was wasted like for the right apartment.

"Who knew that looking for a damn place to live was so hard-" Jake stretched and suddenly he hears a knocking sound nearby. 

Jake looks at the window of his room and sees about 4 drones slamming against his glass window. 

*Package delivered! Package delivered! Package delivered! Package DELIVERED!* All robotically chimed the drones as they were slamming against Jake's room window. 

"Alright I get it," Jake opens the window and lets the drones come in. Each drone had an LF logo on it. Jake had indeed bought equipment and technology from Lucius Fox himself! He had found his contact number not so long ago while scanning through Batman's database. 

Jake puts down the packages and has an excited look on his face. It was like Christmas for him. 

"Pull up Forge" Jake commands his system. 

>>[Forge]<< 

Insert Item: Power Suit- Prototype Carbon Fiber Nomex power suit  [ Symbiote Hybrid ] 

"Let's see if this works," Jake spreads out his arms and a large blue holographic simulation screen appears in front of his face revealing all the spec of his power suit. 

[Upgrade Power Suit] Jake said as he clicked on the simulated Power Suit.

"Well this going to be fun," Jake cracked his knuckles and got to work. His power suit was going to be powerful and epic.

During the Kamakura period (1285–1333), Japan experienced many civil wars which led to the development of a warrior class, and subsequent war tales, histories, and related stories.[8] Work from this period is notable for its more sombre tone compared to the works of previous eras, with themes of life and death, simple lifestyles, and redemption through killing.[9] A representative work is Heike monogatari (The Tale of the Heike) (1371), an epic account of the struggle between the Minamoto and Taira clans for control of Japan at the end of the twelfth century. Other important tales of the period include Kamo no Chōmei's Hōjōki (1212) and Yoshida Kenkō's Tsurezuregusa (1331).

Despite a decline in the importance of the imperial court, aristocratic literature remained the center of Japanese culture in the beginning of the Kamakura period. Many literary works were marked by a nostalgia for the Heian period.[10] The Kamakura period also saw a renewed vitality of poetry, with a number of anthologies compiled,[8][11] such as the Shin Kokin Wakashū compiled in the early 1200s. However, there were fewer notable works by female authors during this period, reflecting the lowered status of women.[10]

As the importance of the imperial court continued to decline, a major feature of Muromachi literature (1333–1603) was the spread of cultural activity through all levels of society. Classical court literature, which had been the focal point of Japanese literature up until this point, gradually disappeared.[12][10] New genres such as renga, or linked verse, and Noh theater developed among the common people,[13] and setsuwa such as the Nihon Ryoiki were created by Buddhist priests for preaching.[citation needed] The development of roads, along with a growing public interest in travel and pilgrimages, brought rise to the greater popularity of travel literature from the early 13th to 14th centuries.[14] Notable examples of travel diaries include Fuji kikō (1432) and Tsukushi michi no ki(1480).[15][16]

Quirks or even elements of quirks can be classified according to strength as follows:
Detrimental- directly harms or inhibits the user. Quirks commonly have at least one detrimental aspect acting as a limiter.
Vestigial- pretty much useless, or only affects appearance in a non-functional way. Most Quirks have one.
Utility- Quirk has a range of applications.
Weapon- Quirk has an inherent danger to it, or raises the inherent danger level of the user.
Epic- Innately dangerous or uncounterable. A reincarnation/high healing factor on the level of Wolverine (comics) could be considered Epic without being directly weaponizable.
Mythic- unfathomable. Capable of miracles, like resurrection (likely with a time limit, but still powerful), one man nuke, etc. Yaoyorozu might have a move that pushes her into this territory. The Final Solution.

Another thing to consider with Quirks is the Growth Rate/Type:
Mundane growth rates can vary, but are classified by the fact that they can only grow in the same way a Quirkless person could grow in threat level: exercise for strength and training for skills. 
Other than Mundane growth, Quirks could grow in capacity in age or by a built in mechanic, and are classified from Slow to Godly. Demonic is also applicable, but tends to be used when there is something... wrong... with the mechanic. 
Growth Rate and Type are mostly things to consider for hero candidates, as established heroes are likely to have aged past the need for growth. Another thing to think about when considering growth is equipment compatibility. Some Quirks will increase in growth rate if a suitable tool is paired with them. Consider jet boots on Uraraka, or giving her drones that need less power and noise to function due to neutralized gravity. She could then expand into being a type of sensory hero.

While not directly related to the Quirk Strength, a hero can be classified from F rank to S rank based on a combination of their Quirk Strength and how well they are used. I'd like to call this an Operator Level. As a prime example, consider Mirio Togata of the Big Three recently introduced in the anime. By my reckoning, his phasing Quirk is just a Utility, but his application and precision in using it puts him into upper A if not S rank operator. For another example, there is Uraraka, who also has a Utility Quirk and showed her skill in using it against Bakugou. On the other end of the scale could be All Might, who due to injury, has stepped back in Operator Level due to the time limit incurred. 
I think that the average, untrained hero candidate's Operator Level is around C at best. Those who have trained hard on their own could reach B tier, and the most powerful students will be A. S rank would be veterans of the industry, or given to special talents if one factors in age. As for those who have really simple Quirks, like Deku's mom (no offense) due to innate power levels, are rarely ranked. Still, even the Quirkless could be S ranked if trained well enough. Ever read the Vigilante spinoff? Or heard of Batman? They would be S rank operators without Quirks at all. 

As far as other ways to classify Quirks, look no further than Brandon Sanderson's Reckoners trilogy, which is also a superpowered society. Want to read a story of unpowered people fighting against a Superpower Apocalypse? Steelheart starts it, and go read it. I mean, if you can read that, or you can read my stuff, by all means, read Sanderson's stuff. 
Seriously, go do it. Mistborn is fantastic, too. 
Anyways, linked to that is the term "prime invincibility," which is basically a trait that makes someone effectively immortal. Like reincarnation, extreme healing factors, shields, and invulnerability. I'd like to borrow this term. 
Also something I am borrowing from the Reckoners is that everything has a weakness. Something that depowers someone, or otherwise can nullify them. All Might has a time limit, Deku has a power cap or he destroys himself, Iida overheats, Uraraka gets sick, Kaminari short circuits, stuff like that. Kai has a couple of weaknesses that are covered in the prologue, but I'll explain that more viscerally when it comes time for it. 

More on Quirks:
It is a confirmed though unacknowledged phenomenon in canon that there is a lot of instinctive knowledge that comes with having a Quirk. Take Toga (drinks blood for shapeshift creepy girl) or Stain for example. Without instincts driving them to consume blood, they would have gone through life thinking they were Quirkless. Clearly, procedures that come with activation of a Quirk are ingrained into the user. 
Obviously, that is a little different for Deku, who has to figure things out. Things aren't as natural for him. And One for All is a unique Quirk to begin with. 

It is confirmed that there are Quirks that operate directly on Quirks. Three examples are given: All For One, One For All, and Aizawa's Eraser Quirk. While these would be rare, they are clearly not unheard of. Just having a Quirk that operates directly on other Quirks might put your power level into Epic, but with limitations considered, that might be difficult. 

Well, I'm sure I'll cover some of these within the story, but I wanted to get this into a convenient place for people that want it.

Well, who expected this crossover?
Kaisei Oguchi is a teenager with a troubled past and a powerful Quirk- he can summon the ever adapting Swarm of the Starcraft universe to do his will. Trying to make the best use of it, and with a plan that he has shared with nobody, not even his most trusted sister, he enters UA with the intent to become the greatest hero, like no one ever was. Oh. And a side of revenge. Revenge is nice, too.
Expect him to be a little dark. In control of one of the greatest weapons of a cosmos, who wouldn't be? Who is safe from his wrath? Not even All Might will escape unscathed.

If I upload slowly, I'm sorry. I'm just a beginning writer with too many ideas and not enough experience writing. This and Marvelwatch are attempts to fix that problem . 
There is the possibility of me purposely withholding uploads to torture people under the Alcatraz Imperative. (I'm a big Sanderson fan.) But don't expect that too much.

And, I guess, the required legal disclaimer of "I don't own anything from the works I cite. I am not trying to claim them as my own creation, and am very much prepared to use any means necessary to defend myself. Including, but not limited to, the Chewbacca Defense."
However, I bet it's also obvious what I am and am not doing, so it would take some level of insanity to try to sue me over fanfiction.
At least target the Rule 34 fiction writers first.

One of the biggest challenges for any crossover story is compiling more than one character that may have one or more thing in common such as being within the same realm of existence. These are some examples of multiverse crossovers that could work if dealt with great care:

WWH/World War Hell (Hellboy, Constantine, Devil May Cry, Spawn, Ghost Rider): All characters have dealt with the occult and the forces of hell. So what better way to have these heroes working together than having to settle a civil war in Hell?

Galactic Crisis (Halo, Mass Effect, StarCraft, Star Trek -Generations preferably-, Star Wars -Clone Wars or Galactic Empire-): Given how each of these franchises have a bigger threat to deal with (Star Trek with the Borgs, Halo with the Flood, Star Wars with Abeloth and the Yuuzan-Vong, Mass Effect with the Reapers and StarCraft with the Zerg swarm) it would be a sci-fi geeks dream come true to see all these characters fighting these massive threats or just one controlling the others (maybe like the molding of the Gravemind, Abeloth and Kerrigan the Primal Zerg together as a great threat to everyone else. Whether dealing with each of their adversaries together or individually, the heroes from each series can work together to bring peace to the final unexplored frontier known as space. Sort of inspired by the crossover film Galactic Battles.

Ultimate Fight Tournament (Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters, Killer Instinct, Final Fight, Tekken): This would be the most epic fight tournament we'd ever see in a crossover. The plot could be that Shao Khan, through Quan Chi and Shang Tsun, brings the other realms of the other franchises before mentioned for the tournament to end all tournaments in another attempt to conquer new worlds and obtain more souls. Raiden and his allies attempt to prevent this by warning the various characters of said universes as they race to stop their foes from victory. This crossover could work in having the other characters getting their own fatalities and we would get to see matchups we'd never fought we get to see like maybe a three way fight between Chun-Li, Mai Shiranui and Katana or an all-out brawl between Heavy D!, Balrog, TJ Combo and Dudley.

It’s no secret, I love crossover stories. It expands the human imagination of story telling. Whether it’s within said universe or different worlds colliding. The kinds of crossover stories I like to read and/or write about are the ones that could logically make sense while others would do so either for fan service or just for pure fan fiction. Through this, I like to post and offer any scenarios about logical but sound and fun ideas that people would like to hear or try to write about. The criteria can be as follows:

1. Takes place within its universe or it can be across the different universes.

2. Characters have to have certain similarities between them (ideals, powers etc.)

3. Doesn’t have to be romantically involved, but I consider more of friendships and connections made between them.

4. Can usually have a common foe that unites them (heroes or villains)

All suggestions and/or comments are welcome.

Perhaps I'd repeated this many times already, but reality would always remind you that no matter what world you were in, there never was such a thing as true fairness. It would already be difficult to even get close to fairness. True fairness was something that only existed in theory.
Everyone in the world of Eich was already used to the law of the jungle, where the strong ruled over the weak. Any species that lacked top-level individuals would forever remain as mere slaves or a subordinate species. The most obvious example would be how the Superior Elves, a Silver Species, had been subordinated by the Gold Elves, a Gold Species. Meanwhile, the wild elves and ordinary elves who had a Bronze Bloodline were in turn the subordinate species of the Superior Elves.
Were humans an exception to this? According to the human history books, humans had never been subordinate species, but ancient existences would remember that humans had previously been the subordinate species of giants, trolls, and even elves. However, humans had learned magic and martial arts from these species. In this cruel world, the weak human species had been subordinated plenty of times before they finally became the ruling species of the world.
Yet, the humans were still forever naturally at disadvantage with their human bloodline. A human would never be able to win at arm-wrestling against a giant. Some foundational inequalities were impossible to change.
However, humans knew how to use tools. It was unknown which individual had first come up with it, but the idea of "Epic-tier weapons" imbued with an individual's personal Concept indeed gave human top-level individuals the potential to surpass top-level individuals from other species.
The most obvious realization of choosing one's own combat style would be the evolution of "combat job classes".
Back in the primal age, there was no such thing as a warrior or a mage. Back then, powerful ancient existences would randomly attack with their physical bodies or instinctively control the elements. In a way, this reflected the saying "There would never be any paths to begin with. Only after enough people walked the same way would there be a path".
The path to reaching the top of any job class was to condense one's own personal understanding and path into a "tool" that only oneself could use.
While human skin wasn't anywhere near as tough as dragon scales, humans could team up to hunt powerful mythic beasts and use their tough hides to create armor and shields which had defensive properties surpassing that of even castle walls.
While human magical talent and affinity for the elements couldn't compare at all to the elves' talent and affinity, humans could use special tools as extensions of their bodies. They could gather various elemental or magical creatures' cores in order to buff a certain type of elemental affinity or some specific magic spell, making up for the lack of natural talent.
While humans truly had no way of comparing in physical strength to a giant, humans could create magical ogre gloves that tremendously buffed physical strength…
While humans were unable to fly, and also lacked stamina, they could fly with magical shoes…
While humans couldn't travel through time, they could use the Concept of Time to create a Time Hourglass…
Epic-tier weapons weren't actually all that mysterious. They were simply the evolved form of humans' instinctual usage of weapons. It was just that these "tools" used by top-level individuals were recognized by the entire world. The Epic-tier weapons, which all had their own unique traits, would each have obvious strengths and weaknesses.
Every tool would have a specialty. Tools were created in order to make up for insufficiencies. However, the downside to a specialized tool was the lack of general use.
Maybe you could create a dragonscale shield. However, any place you weren't able to guard with the shield would still be incredibly fragile, and if you wore a suit of heavy dragonscale armor instead, it still wasn't a part of your body. All the extra weight and discomfort on your skin would definitely negatively affect your agility and senses.
There would always be losses for every gain. If you decided to use external objects to improve the weaknesses of your physical body, this would also mean that your physical body would no longer grow stronger. Other weaknesses would also become even more apparent.
The moment that you decided to use a tool, the tool's usage would already be determined. The tool would improve you in its specific area of expertize, but you wouldn't have any obvious improvements in other areas.
However, combat wasn't something so simple. Maximizing one's own personal advantages while avoiding and hiding your own weaknesses would obviously be the best way to obtain victory.
"I don't need to be stronger than my enemy in every area. Properly using my advantages in battle is the best way to victory."
Of course, the easiest method of all when one tool wasn't enough would be to obtain several more tools. But, when considering how difficult it already was to enter the new Level 4 and craft a personal Epic-tier weapon, and even more how human bloodlines would be unable to withstand the creation of multiple Epic-tier weapons, no ordinary powerful individual would be able to consider this.
For humans who lacked so much talent compared to other species, it wouldn't actually be good to enter Level 4 as quickly as possible. For the great majority of powerful individuals, they would have zero chances to regret whatever tool they had chosen for their own Epic-tier weapon once they'd made their choice. This was an one-time deal only. If a person chose wrongly, it would be the equivalent of voluntarily limiting one's own upper potential… To use a gaming analogy, it would be the equivalent of using your skill points and attribute points and messing up your character build, so you would have to start over again with a new character.
The creation of any Epic-tier weapon would be the amalgamation of that person's total knowledge and experience. Sometimes, people would forcefully try and enter Level 4 without any preparation beforehand, or they would enter Level 4 without any guidance from another. That would mean that they would be completely unable to select what they created for their personal Epic-tier weapon. There were indeed many rather laughable existences at Level 4 rank.
For instance, there was a well-known powerful water mage whose personal Epic-tier weapon was the physical realization of his knowledge of how water naturally flowed. Thus, his weapon became an umbrella that would bring a torrential downpour whenever he opened it. He had the venerated nickname of "Divine Bringer of Rain", and was quite popular in areas with long droughts.
But… for any water mage in Level 4, it would be quite easy already for them to casually summon a torrential downpour. Thus, his Epic-tier weapon didn't improve his combat power even in the slightest. In fact, it even weakened him as its effects were  too large of an AoE. Moreover, using his rain umbrella would always cost him a tremendous amount of mana. Hence, using it would bring his power level far down below Level 4.
Although it sounded quite laughable to become weaker after leveling up, he wasn't the only example.
This wasn't only the result of mistaken choices or foolishness. Sometimes, there were indeed heaven-sent calamities that one couldn't do anything about.
There was once a mage who was born with a weak body. He would always cough up blood every time he cast a spell. However, he was extremely intelligent, and entered Gold-rank back when he was only 12 years old. He then reached the very peak of understanding in time magic, and his Epic-tier weapon ended up being ridiculously strong. It was said that it was truly capable of turning back time itself, which was a true miracle.
However, miracles would require a price. This Epic-tier weapon would use up the caster's life force each time it was used. How much life force it required was unknown, because that mage only used it once and then died right after.
Overly strong willpower or belief would also lead to bad endings.
There was once a Level 4 Holy Knight who desired for the Holy Light to forever accompany himself as if it was the warm sun. He indeed accomplished this, but the end result was that he died of dehydration… This Holy Knight had been far too hostile towards the darkness, and far too stubborn about the concept of "forever", yet he didn't think about how having the sun forever next to you would result in being baked alive. Still, this guy's belief and willpower had been truly incredible as he had survived for three months before he finally dried up completely.
Overly strong belief would unconsciously affect a powerful individual's created Epic-tier weapon, yet Holy Knights who didn't have enough conviction also wouldn't go far. There were plenty who made mistakes among the priests and Holy Knights. Although it was rare to bake oneself to death like in the previous example, it was quite common for someone to transform themselves into a 24-hour living lightbulb of Holy Light. In the end, the Holy Church had even incorporated these individuals into their teachings, warning people not to become like them.
The exact opposite would be the Undead Emperors. The great majority of Undead Emperors had formerly been humans from long ago at one point in time. They had been stuck before Level 4 for an incredibly long period of time. However, the much longer time would allow for far more accumulation. Thinking for far longer before reaching Level 4 would also be a good thing. Making the breakthrough would mean that the rest would become quite easy.
Cough, cough, I was getting off topic. Anyways, since I had previously entered Level 4 before, I had an obvious advantage. Not only did I have the knowledge and accumulation for multiple personal Epic-tier weapons, I also possessed a physical body and soul that could handle the creation of multiple Epic-tier weapons. It was an extravagance that ordinary powerful individuals couldn't even dream of.
Still, this extravagance couldn't be wasted. Unlike how other Level 4 individuals would typically think about how to strengthen their personal specialty and advantages, I could consider the functions I wanted from each Epic-tier weapon and use them to make up for my insufficiencies and weaknesses.
My Holy Light sword, Dawn. Its main trait would be the Light of Salvation. I had two different strategic forms planned for this sword: Chaos Slayer and Offer of Salvation. It would be able to majorly weaken Chaos Faction demons and undead in a tremendous area of effect as well as gather condensed Holy Light for strong attacks against powerful enemies. My Dawn sword would be my most reliable weapon in this long battle against the Chaos Abyss.
My death sword, Original Sin. Well, I suppose I could also call it the Seven Original Sins sword. It would be a mega weapon that countered all soul existences. It would be my most powerful magic sword of all, but when considering the resources it required… it would likely be the final one of my four planned Epic-tier magic swords to be completed.
I still hadn't finished the blueprint for my Law sword, but when considering the effects of Law, and how I wouldn't really need any more powerful melee weapons after my Original Sin death sword was completed, I would likely create my Law sword as a weapon focused on restraints and defense.
My knowledge of ice was the most lacking compared to the other three areas. However, since my other three Epic-tier swords were focused on various effects such as attack, defense, debuffs, buffs, restraints, and so on, I had already determined what function I wanted my ice sword to have.
"An automatic sword, or at least a semi-automatic magic sword that can surprise my enemies. And if I'm lucky, this sword will actually have the highest potential for combat."
"…Most automatic Epic-tier weapons will attack indiscriminately without being able to differentiate friend or foe. For instance, that Holy Light sun which baked that Holy Knight to death. Other similar examples are all too ridiculous to even laugh or cry at. If you're unlucky, this weapon will become nothing but more help for your enemies instead. Although it has the most potential in combat, it also has by far the most potential to become a burden. Are you certain?"
Harloys' attempt to convince me otherwise didn't shake my determination one bit. Since the majority of automatic weapons were the type that were a double-edged sword for both oneself and one's enemy, perhaps that would be the most suitable type of weapon of all for me as I was already so used to misfortune.
"I've decided! I'm going to call it Calamity sword… Northlands Frost sword! Even if it will only bring about calamity and disaster, I feel like I can at least survive longer than my enemies thanks to my experience in dodging the endless ice and snow calamities in the Northlands!"


This is the story of a crazy lich who possesses an internal game system and brings catastrophe to the entire world.
“Let’s look at the daily quests today… it’s the damned choose one-of-two-options-type again. Destroy a town with a population of 30,000 people or above; reward: 10,000 evil points. Steal lollipops from 3 children; reward: 1 evil point. If neither of the quests is completed, then 2 points will be deducted.”
“Tsk! You think I’m stupid? If I really destroyed a town, a crusade of Myth-ranked Holy Knights would definitely come hunting me down. Even if I earned the points, there wouldn’t be any life left in me to spend them. I better just go be a kindly lollipop bandit.”
I’ve already had enough of being a notorious lich. Who says a lich can’t be a good person? I’m definitely going to beat this damned system and be an upright and dignified good man.

The 20 or so regions around Great Qin's western side all became empty regions. With the 22 regions from the eastern side, 25 regions from the southern side, and ten regions from the northern side, Great Qin had taken down 77 regions.
Great Qin had only just cleared out three regions on the northern side before the final stage of the Chaotic World had been unlocked, resulting in many battles.
Now, Great Qin had the monumental task of clearing out 74 regions. Great Qin's territory had doubled in size, and clearing out so many regions would be an immeasurably massive task. No one knew how long it would take, and most of Great Qin's time would be spent on this.
Great Qin once again welcomed in a period of peace. Zhao Fu never thought that he would be able to obtain 70 regions so quickly, and after looking at the territory they had marked out, he felt that it was too small and decided to re-define it.
In the next period of time, apart from clearing out the regions, Zhao Fu sent ambassadors to regions even further away in order to improve Great Qin's relations with those regions and aid in convincing them to submit to Great Qin. The 80 City Lords joining Great Qin were the best examples.
Obtaining 40 million people and eight million soldiers for free was an incredibly good thing, and now, Great Qin had the sufficient power and benefits to attract them to join.
Great Qin's ambassador system used scholars to go to the various regions, peacefully devouring region after region. This made others feel great admiration, and they soon began to copy Great Qin.
A period of war was about to start up, and this caused the ambassador system to seem even better. Every large faction continuously sent out ambassadors; it was a new way of doing things.
Apart from this, Great Qin had obtained 67 Region Treasure Boxes. He had not had time to open them this entire time, and now, it was finally time to do so. With how precious Region Treasure Boxes were, he wondered what sort of items he would receive. Now that he had so many, he hoped that he would obtain a few exquisite items.
Zhao Fu felt quite hopeful as he opened the first treasure box. Light shot out, and a blue piece of jade appeared before him. It gave off a watery light, and it was about as big as a nail and looked quite beautiful.
After looking at its stats, Zhao Fu found that it was just a special treasure that aided in cultivating water-type Arts, and it had a powerful water attribute power, which was quite useless to Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu felt a bit disappointed, but this was only the first treasure box, and there were still 60 or so of them. Zhao Fu did not feel too disappointed, and he excitedly opened the next three Region Treasure Boxes in a row.
The first box gave an item that was not very useful, the second gave an ordinary Epic grade equipment, and the third box gave an Epic grade material.
After opening another box, a large ballistae appeared – it was another Dragon-Slaying Ballistae. After seeing how powerful Dragon-Slaying Ballistae were with Gold grade Talisman Bolts, Zhao Fu started to be quite interested in Dragon-Slaying Ballistae.
After all, when shooting out Gold grade Talisman Bolts, Dragon-Slaying Ballistae could instantly kill a City Lord without them being able to resist at all.
In the previous battle, if Great Qin had 100 Dragon-Slaying Ballistae, even if he had to face 100 City Lords, he would not feel scared at all. It was a pity that the Dragon-Slaying Ballistae were too complex to make, making it so that Great Qin was not able to produce them yet.
Next, Zhao Fu opened another three Region Treasure Boxes in a row.
The first box gave a skill that had mediocre strength and was not very powerful. The second box gave a special item that would be able to point in the right direction no matter what sort of fog one was in. The third box gave Zhao Fu a little glass bottle.
The glass bottle was only as tall as his finger and was about two fingers wide. It contained a silver liquid, which gave off a faint light and seemed quite extraordinary. After all, the silver liquid seemed to have a life of its own, and it moved around within the bottle.
[Silver Spirit Liquid]: A liquid with immense lifeforce. Giving it to any plant-based creature will instantly increase its maturity by 100 years. This item can only be used once on one plant-based creature.
This made Zhao Fu quite delighted, as the Silver Spirit Liquid was incredibly useful to Great Qin. Great Qin had 300 Trees of Life and 30 or so Ginseng Trees. They were all treasures that required a long time to grow.
The Silver Spirit Liquid could instantly cause a plant-based creature to mature by 100 years, and if he used it on a Tree of Life or a Ginseng Tree, they would instantly bear Fruits of Life and Ginseng Fruits.
It was a pity that this small bottle of Silver Spirit Liquid could only be used ten or so times, but this was already quite good, and Zhao Fu put it away happily before opening three more boxes.
The first box gave an Epic grade hammer, the second box gave a Stats Gem that would increase all stats of that equipment by three, which was quite good. The third box gave a beast horn, which was an Epic grade material.
Zhao Fu then continuously opened ten boxes but did not receive anything very useful, making him feel quite disappointed. He then continued opening boxes, and two boxes later, a stone appeared.
This stone was square-shaped and was as big as a fist. It was quite smooth and gave off a three-colored light, and it gave off a powerful aura. It seemed quite extraordinary.
[City Level Stone]: Using this City Level Stone, one can instantly cause a City below Capital City to level up.
After looking through this stone's stats, Zhao Fu instantly felt incredibly delighted. He had never thought that such a thing would exist; it actually allowed him to instantly level up a City, and it was effective for anything below Capital Cities.
If he used it on a Level 4 Great City, it would instantly level up into a Level 5 Great City. This would take 70 million EXP, which would take conquering countless Villages, Towns, and Cities to level up. He could skip all of that with a single stone.
How could Zhao Fu not feel happy? Great Qin greatly lacked EXP, because it not only needed to level up the Great Qin City into a Level 6 Capital City, but it also needed three more Level 1 Capital Cities in order to be able to level up into a Royal City.
Moreover, it seemed that these City Level Stones could be used unlimited times on a City. If Zhao Fu could obtain a few more, he would not have to worry about the EXP required to level up Cities into Capital Cities.
Zhao Fu felt quite excited and continued to open up Region Treasure Boxes. Rays of light shot out, and more items appeared before him.
However, after opening another ten or so, he had not obtained another City Level Stone; everything was quite useless, making him feel quite disappointed.
After a while, Zhao Fu calmed down his emotions. The City Level Stones were simply too useful and could substitute millions of EXP and cause Cities to instantly level up. To be able to obtain such a rare, valuable item, he was already quite lucky.


“Ding! Soulbinding has been successfully completed; you will now head to the Heaven Awaken World.” After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s vision darkened as he fell to the ground.

With bleak prospects in the real world, Zhao Fu’s life is turned around when countless crystals fell from the sky one night, which people could use to enter an alternate, game-like world. After obtaining an ancient Chinese empire’s legacy, Zhao Fu uses his intellect and resourcefulness to develop his own empire from a tiny village. However, with enemies both in the real world and in the Heaven Awaken World, he must make brilliant decisions and use creative schemes to survive.
