In 2015, an extraordinary event shook the world - the sudden opening of mysterious Rifts that bridged the gap between different dimensions. From these rifts emerged monsters and enigmatic beings - constellations, gods, and entities from various cultures. These cosmic visitors immersed themselves in this world, they opened up the World System - a cosmic mechanism that bestowed special abilities and system interfaces upon awakened individuals, allowing them to interact with the celestial visitors and partake in extraordinary quests to save to world from deletion.

The World System operates under the watchful eyes of the Divine Assembly, a council of powerful constellations and gods who oversee Earth.

When the rifts initially appeared, chaos ensued as humans encountered beings of great power and incomprehensible abilities. Some embraced the celestial visitors, forming alliances and receiving boons in exchange for their service, while others feared the unknown and resisted the intrusion.

As part of the god's entertainment, a cataclysmic event occurred when monstrous creatures from various dimensions spilled forth through the opened Rifts. These monstrous beings, drawn to Earth by the allure of new territory and challenges, wreaked havoc across the planted, throwing the world into chaos and uphill.

The awakened humans pooled their strength together and devised strategies to repel the onslaught. Battles of epic proportions unfolded across the globe, with Earth's cities becoming the battlegrounds for clashes.

As the battles raged on, a realization emerged - the outbreaks were not merely a test of strength for amusement but an opportunity for the growth and transformation of mankind.

The gods and constellation's entertainment inadvertently became a crucible for the evolution of mortal beings on Earth.

It took 20 years to stabilize the situation, Earth was forever changed. The scars of the monster outbreak served as a reminder of the trials humanity had overcome and the unity they had achieved.

The Arcadia Federation was formed. A technologically advanced federation of nations who stood together in the face of danger.

Along with the Arcadia Federation, many other new countries rose from the ashes of the old world. The current beacon of progress and innovation. Its gleaming cities beat cutting-edge technology, eco-friendly infrastructure, and a harmonious blend of nature and urban development. The nation's emphasis on sustainable practices and progressive governance made it a global leader in research, education, and technological advancements.

Currently, there are four big nations including the Arcadia Federation.

The Solaris Confederation stretched across the southern region of the globe, thriving on the boundless energy of the sun. Vast solar farms and advanced solar technology have transformed the Confederation into a powerhouse of renewable energy.

The Sanctum Theocracy has gathered around the old Europe, deeply rooted in faith and religious beliefs. Its grand cities are adorned with majestic cathedrals, temples, and shrines dedicated to a myriad of western deities. The Sanctum Theocracy's societies are guided by a sacred doctrine, and religious institutions wield significant influence over its governance and culture.

In the east, there was the Skyborne Archipelago, comprised of interconnected floating islands that rise above the clouds. Futuristic sky ports, high-speed maglev trains, and levitation technology have made it a central hub of international trade and culture. Its cities showcased a vibrant fusion of various traditions and cutting-edge urban design, making it a melting pot of diversity and ingenuity.

Then, there was the Wasteland, places that were too severe and polluted with mana from the aftermath of battles. Vast regions of Earth had become a harrowing reminder of the tragic battles that continued for 20 years. Towering skyscrapers were reduced to dilapidated skeletons, their streets overgrown with twisted metal and toxic vegetation. The polluted mana had rendered the lands inhospitable and barren, leaving being a lifeless, cracked earth that yields no sustenance.

[9 a.m. | 7th August 2055 | Neo Horizon City]

Ella and Ethan stepped into the grand exhibition hall of the Rift Relics Gallery, where a hum of excitement filled the air.

The event they were attending was a historic one - the unveiling of the first-ever Rift artifacts retrieved from gateways that had opened 40 years ago.

The hall was an awe-inspiring display of technology and wonder. Holographic displays and interactive exhibits adorned the walls, showcasing artifacts that seemed to transcend time and space. The place buzzed with chatter as visitors from all corners of the world marveled at the relics before them.

As they wandered deeper into the exhibition, Ella's eyes lit up with curiosity. Her research background made her eager to learn more about them. Ethan was more reserved since he knew most of the stuff here only had historic value, nothing else.

<Father of Gods and Men wants you to do something interesting>

<Love and Fertility Influencer asks if the girl is your girlfriend>

Ethan ignored the prompts as they stopped before a glass display, where an intricately designed amulet gleamed under soft spotlights. The amulet was adorned with celestial symbols and seemed to pulse with energy. A holographic plaque beside it explained its significance - a legendary artifact believed to have been gifted by a benevolent constellation to the first awakened individual, bestowing upon them unique abilities.

"This is amazing!" Ella exclaimed, her eyes never leaving the amulet. "To think this piece of history shaped the very foundation of our world."

"Monke, give me information about this artifact."

[Amulet of Strength - Broken]

[Grade: S -> D]

[Durability: 26/1000]

[It once he'd the potential to grant unimaginable strength to its wearer. Broken in a fight against a behemoth, its once-imposing glow now flickers like a wobbly candle at a birthday party. Instead of granting Herculean strength, it's more likely to grant you a chuckle at its unfortunate state]

Ethan laughed at the description. However, he quickly stifled his amusement when he remembered that Ella couldn't know why he was laughing at a serious exhibition."Hey, what's so funny?" Ella asked, raising an eyebrow at Ethan's sudden outburst.

"Oh, nothing," Ethan replied, trying to hide his amusement with a forced smile.

Ella looked at him quizzically but soon turned her attention to the next artifact.

As Ethan wandered through the exhibition, a sense of nostalgia washed over him. For the past five years, since Ella's death, he had been fighting and leveling up nonstop. This change of pace was quite welcoming in his opinion. But he needed to be strong to protect this peace he had been granted.

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven has heard his disciple's plea and wants to issue you a main quest]

[Do you wish to accept?]

Ethan hesitated for a moment, his mind torn between the peace he had been granted at this moment and the sense of duty that had driven him for the past five years. Memories of Ella's funeral lingered in his heart, a constant reminder of the price paid in this dangerous world. He knew he couldn't be complacent. Ethan may not be able to die, but that didn't include everyone he cared about.

With a determined glint in his eyes, Ethan took a deep breath and pressed the "Accept" button.

[Accept]

[The main quest is being issued …]

[Main Quest - A Journey to Troll the Heavens]

[Part 1: Become Level 10 in two weeks]

"What the fuck! Who names their S-Rank Skill like that? Does it do what I think it does?"

<The Great Sage Equal to Heaven confirms your suspicious and says that this skill is very powerful>

"Why? Why not something less …deviant?"

<The Great Sage Equal to Heaven sees that you need some conditioning>

[Side Quest (Daily) - Reject Humanity, Return to Monke]

[Not fulfilling the conditions will result in a constant headache for a day]

"Ah goddammit, I should've learned my lesson and not mess with the monkey …"

<The Great Sage Equal to Heaven laughs at your face>

<Father of Gods and Men is amused>
