Chapter 1: I just got here and already... I died?!

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏: I just got here and already... I died?!

...

In a gloomy void.

"Ahh." a young man of about 20/25 years landed in the void foolishly.

"Um, where am I." said the confused young man.

|[Welcome to the Void]|

A strange voice was heard in the endless darkness.

"W-Who are you?" asked the young man.

|[I introduce myself, I am the system of world destruction.]| He said the voice now identified as systema.

"A system? Wait, I was on my way home when... I died." Suddenly, the young man had a flashback about how he was hit by a truck...

"Seriously, why does it have to be so cliche?!" the young man complained.

|[Your stay here has nothing to do with your death, you're just a randomly selected guy.]| The system said.

"Mm, but being selected doesn't make me special?" asked the young man.

|[Maybe, but you still have to check that for yourself.]| The system said.

"And what can you do?" asked the young man.

|[It's not about what I can do, it's about what you can do.]| The system said.

"Mm? What do you mean, you're not the system?" said the young man without understanding.

|[As my name indicates, I am a world destruction system, your options, choose an intermediate skill of the world you go to, your mission, destroy the world.]| The system said coldly.

"What? Why would I do that?" said the young man.

|[You can choose not to, but if you succeed, you can keep the ability you got, if you don't, you will live in that world until you die.]|

|[You have three chances of achievement, if you fail three times, your soul will be destroyed and your existence will be erased.]| The system said as if he didn't care.

"What? No, why? Why are you doing that?" said the young man.

|[To maintain balance in the omniverse, when a multiverse or universe becomes too popular, it can have the power to create its own domain, no Omniverse wants to lose its ownership, so the ancient ancestors created eight primordial systems.]|

|[These systems are, Creation, Order, Chaos, Life, and Destruction]|

"Isn't chaos and destruction the same thing?" asked the young man.

|[No, chaos is the natural conflict in each plane, destruction is used when a world takes advantage of everything in it and uses it for its benefit, in that case, it can strengthen its core and be independent]|

"Ok, that's silly, but suppose I believe you, what do you mean by destroying the world?" said the young man.

|[To destroy is to destroy, an universe is sustained thanks to the great stars and pillars of it, in simple terms, its main characters or its extras]| The system said summarizing everything.

"And my job is to kill him? What will happen to them?" said the young man.

|[The core will decay, causing a reboot, some know it as, Ragnarok, doomsday, or just a cycle, as its original inhabitants will die and possibly be reborn or just cease to exist]| The system said without caring at all.

"I understand, so if it didn't destroy the universe, I'll die, or at least if I fail three times, I don't want to die, so I won't fail, anything else to say?" asked the young man.

|[If you fail, you will lose all your previous skills except the ones you gained by yourself.]| The system said in a reminder.

"Mm, that's a problem." said the young man.

|[More features will be revealed in the future, for now, choose your skill]| I said the system.

"Um, ability... in the Marvel universe there are many useful abilities, like Magnetokinesis, also mind control like the purple man, also the bald egg in a wheelchair."

"But out of all of those, there's only one problem, they're all deadly, so, I pick... A healing factor, I want it to evolve the more I use it, but it should be good enough to survive and use it at first." said the young man.

|[Are you sure about that?]| I ask the system.

"Yes!"

|[Mm, in that case, be careful what you wish for]| The system said.

"¡Wait...!" Before he could ask, he felt the surface of his feet cease to exist.

"Aaaahhh"

In the earth's atmosphere, a muffled scream could be heard.

The young man fell at high speed from the atmosphere, so he only felt how his skin was torn little by little.

"Ahhhhh" Shrieking like a child, he felt his skin cease to exist and could even see his bones, but soon, his eyes were completely vaporized by the heat.

But that does not end there, at the same time that he was destroyed, he felt how his body recovered little by little and faster and faster the more time passed.

Like a meteorite, it fell from the atmosphere to earth, at that time it was morning, probably 10 am, so visibility was a bit difficult.

The young man had now lost his vocal cords and his skin was gone, but that didn't stop him at all, like the explosion of a missile, he fell hard into a forest outside of New York.

*Booommmm*

In a small crater, smoke and blood splattered all over the place...

"Huh." In the middle of the crater, a humanoid figure staggered out.

"Damn system" he couldn't help cursing.

The young man focused on the sight in front of him, a beautiful forest with lots of vegetation, but then looked under his feet.

"Let's get out of here." said the young man and left.

This is Ethan Brown, he was in the army for two years and then he was discharged by his family, he trained since he was little with his father, who was an army colonel, unfortunately, he died in battle and his last order was... get out my son from the army.

Ethan never knew it, but his father protected him even after his death since three months later, an experimental bomb exploded at the base where he worked.

But Ethan had other plans, the army refused to let him work for them without any explanation, so he ended up working as a mercenary, he found and killed many influential people, so being killed was something he waited for a long time, which I didn't expect it was to be killed by a truck like in the light novels I used to read to pass the time in the army.

Of course, he also watched movies and anime after he got out of the army.

With Ethan.

Ethan wanders through the woods, his clothes ripped apart and his body covered in mud and scorched earth.

He continued walking through the forest until he found a small stream.

"Sigh, dammit, finally." said Ethan and he walked over to the creek.

Washing his face, Ethan was surprised, now he looks like when he was 17 or 18 instead of 23 before, besides that, he seems more defined and sharp than before.

he washed his body and he was pleasantly surprised.

With milky white skin and compact muscles, Etha put deep in her mind the fact that he had almost been killed by the flames.

'I guess nothing in life is free, but the rewards are good,' Ethan thought.

Taking a closer look at his face, he ran his hand through his jet-black hair that now reached his neck and covered his ears, his previously pale blue eyes now bright blue and warm.

His face looked much better than before, if before it was a 7 out of 10, now it was an 8.6 out of 10.

The improvement was not much, but it was greatly welcomed, the next thing was of course, to test its strength.

Finding a rock one meter in diameter.

Ethan hit.

"Ahhh" Ethan immediately regretted it.

The rock only cracked slightly, but instead, Ethan's hand shattered completely.

But what surprised Ethan was, his that hand recovered with the naked eye, the speed is pretty decent and in less than a minute, his hand recovered completely.

"Ok, super regeneration only slightly improves my physique and doesn't make me the Hulk." Ethan noted in his mind.

"In that case, let's find a city and find out what crazy world I'm in," Ethan said and left...

But remembering something...

He wasn't naked?!
