Beginning
The odyssey begins on a Earth-like planet.
12:00 P.M.
A high school student was going back home after school. Walking steadily he thought,'What has mother cooked today for lunch.'
Suddenly he fainted, groggily he thought,'What is happening.'
Some people hurried to check him. Someone called an ambulance .
After sometime paramedics arrived and checked his heartbeat and found his heart had stopped beating. He was dead.
'Where am I ,who am I, I remember walking back home and fainted spontaneously.I am ..... Kaal.'Kaal pondered feeling free and spirited.
As he was feeling better than ever, he felt something in his psychee.Yes, he was able to feel his soul now. Kaal was trying to understand what it was and in doing so he felt it was boundless and quaint.
After a long while without having a concept of time he came to understand that it was a heavenly body,a huge seemingly boundless system of matter and energy.Suddenly he had an enlightment ,he saw or observed however it was possible without a body, a screen.
On it something was written.

'What is this?',Kaal thought bewildered.'What does physique represent,what is soul synchronization,what the hell am I seeing?'
After studying and contemplating it for a long time he came to a realization that it seems similar to the systems used in many light novels and manga.
Kaal thought,'So physique reperesents my body and spirit represents my soul power maybe but what is soul synchronization, creation and energy value.Maybe energy value represents the energy and matter in the boundless body in my soul and I manipulate this energy to create.Let's try it.'
Kaal's POV:
How should I go about creating, Maybe mentally manipulating the energy in the boundless body can do the trick. Let's start with baby steps by creating a pencil. Concentrating deeply to manipulate energy I was finally able to seperate a tiny wisp of energy but utilizing it to create something was seemingly impossible. What should I do?
I once again looked at the screen , I think increasing the spirit stats can help in improving my non-existent creation capabilities. Thinking as such I thought to press the (+) sign behind my spirit stat. I increased it by one, feels no different I guess ,lets increase it by 100. Suddenly I felt my psych clearing and my mental capacity increasing.
I once again tried to create a pencil but failed yet again.Feeling slightly irritated I increased my spirit stat by a million. As expected I felt wonderful . I felt I could do anything. And finally I was able to create a pencil. I can't believe it took me this much time to create a pencil, this is seriously tedious. I should make an AI to assist me in using my system. After it felt like days have passed I was finally able to create an AI.
Let's try it,'AI create coca cola.' I commanded, instantly a can of coca cola was before me. Well that was fun.
Now let's survey my surroundings, when I had just arrived here, it felt like I was locked in place, now as well it feels the same. Seems like increasing my spirit stat does not help in moving around this place.
Now that I think about it ,place does not hold any meaning here nor does time . Where, no what is this.
I am gonna die of boredom if I am stuck here any longer.
'AI create a characteristics for my soul to be able to traverse nothingness.' I for once saw a change in the boundless body in my soul, a tiny but noticeable part of energy was getting depleted.
I once again looked at the system screen

I guess travelling in nothingness is no easy feat.
'Characteristics development completed',AI asserted.
I can finally move I thought .And so I began traversing the nothingness.How weired I can feel myself moving while there is no concept of space and time here. I continued moving.
After it felt like weeks have passed I came across a cosmos..... ,no this seems different ,it is like multiples planes superimposed on each other.
Very curious I entered a plane . Suddenly I felt as if the whole plane was against me, trying to destroy me . I was finally able to feel something ,unfortunately it was painful, unbearably so. It felt uncomfortable and painful at the same time . I knew I wouldn't be able to withstand this any longer so hurriedly I commanded the AI to build a detector and find a humanoid living being suitable for my soul and reincarnate myself into that body.
Suddenly the painful and uncomfortable feeling vanished.
I was in a fetal position. I used my spiritual sense to know my surroundings, I was in a womb. I was able to sense that I was in a planet similar to earth albeit the organisms and environment seemed vastly different.
'I should sleep now, I am really tired.'I thought groggily.
I slept comfortably feeling warm and safe.
Few months later
It's been 6 months already, why am I not born yet . I guess gestation period of this humanoid species is longer than humans. My body is fully developed already I guess my birthday is near.
Later that week
My delivery finally commenced, after some struggle I finally came out and felt cold and uncomfortable. I was not comfortable with the environment yet. I feel tired . I will sleep for some time.
3rd person POV:
It was a dimly lit room with 3 people, one was the mother of Kaal and the other 2 were nurses. After giving birth, there was relief as well as tiredness visible on Kaal's mother's countenanace. She was breathing deeply.
A nurse said,"Congratulations! Mrs.Katherine, it's a healthy boy." with a pleasant expression. The other nurse wrapped the baby boy in clean soft cloth and presented it to Katherine. She asked,"What are you gonna name the child mam?" Katherine replied with a smile,"I will decide his name with my husband."
Just then a mature looking man came in hurriedly asking nervouly, "Where's my baby?"
"Here ", Katherine replied. "He's a baby boy."
Kaal's father said happily ,"He looks like a trouble maker."
Katherine asked,"What are we gonna name him karl?"
Karl replied after thinking deeply for a while,"Kaal!"
Kaal's POV:
It's been a few months after my birth. During these months I slept most of the time, now I can stay awake for enough time to start creating plans for the future and gathering intel. . First of all, I now know my parents' name, my mother's name is Katherine Frost and my father's name is Karl Vincent.
The planet I am on is called MK-0001 which is orbiting a star called M-001. I think there are 9 planets in this star system which I could sense by using my spiritual sense, I can't sense further than than 9th planet clearly.
'A.I. create a file containing data about this world in detail.' ,I commanded. A.I. replied almost instantly,'Required file created, naming it MK-0001 by default.'
'Give me a brief introduction to this world.'I instructed my AI.
'This planet has 3 continents ,2 continents are inhabitated by hoards of beasts and this continent seems to be protected by a energy shield made by a currently unidentifiable energy of some kind. 'replied AI.
'Seems like using AI to collect info is not very useful, I should investigate myself.'I thought.
"here's my baby, finally awake after months ,are you hungry?" my mother said gleefully .'I guess sleeping for months is not unusual here.'I thought. Suddenly I started feeling full ,spirited and clear minded after months of feeling lethargic. 'What's happening.',I wondered and I saw green light coming out of my mothers body like lightning, it looked beautiful. A smile formed on my face.
"Enough for today.", my mother said happily, seeing my smile.
'AI, what was that green energy thingy.', I asked my AI. AI replied,'currently unindentifiable.'
4 years later
I am finally able to talk now. After living for 4 years here, I got to know some interesting info. When I was 3 years old I asked my mom about the green energy , she replied that I was to study it later when I go to academy.
I found out that the humanoid being I am now are called Linkers; Linkers look like humans but are on average almost twice the size of humans. Also I noticed this now but the environment here is colder and dimmer(like dusk) than on Earth. A day on this planet is about 27 hours and a year here is about of 390 days, not radically different from Earth.
Mmm I am really bored here, my house is in a weird forest but there
are no animals in here. Weird.
'AI,compile information about social structures and technological advancement of this continent.'I commanded AI. 'Society here is simialar to rennaissance period of europe on Earth with few 21st level technologies. The continent is ruled by a alliance of 9 nations and social hierarchy is aristocratic and working class people. Education system seems outdated and filled with propagandas of aristocrats. All in all, staying here does not provide much advantages to sir.' AI replied. It seems staying here is not suitable.'AI search for the most advanced planets in this plane suitable for me.' I asked my AI with some interest.
AI replied,'According to user's requirement, there are 2 planets available. One planet is called Dagon with peaceful societes of linkers close to nature and much more sophisticated in the use of the currently identifiable energy and the other one is called Jebus, the base planet of a alliance made up of different intelligent species.
This alliance called Tumearanu is currently a type III civilization and seems stable, strong and old enough to meet sir's requirement.'
'It seems Jebus is where I will be going. But what about my parents?
I should leave them before I get emotionally attached to them after all I am gonna have to destroy this reality eventually, I thought to myself looking at my system's screen

I found out a few days ago when I checked out the boundless object in my soul seems to be losing energy gradually and it seems to be accelerating. According to my estimation it will implode in 10-20 years taking myself down with it. I found a method to make it stable by consuming energy but with the things I have consumed I finally surmised that, it will take the energy of this entire reality to make the boundless object stable and make it stop losing its energy.
Unfortunately, I haven't found the other planes in this reality so I have to make search for the remaining planes and find a way to consume this reality whole. I hope I will find a way to enter other planes in Jebus. But first I have to settle the matter of making a suitable body.
This body feels more like shackles and fetters confining me.
'AI how far is design of the body I requested.'I asked
AI replied,' According to users requirements the designof a body capable of adjusting itself to any conditions is completed. Permission to proceed?'
'Proceed.' I said sighing.
3rd person POV:
Far away from any galaxies a body was suspended in the void when it opened it's eyes. Almost instantly space-time became tumultuous like a newborn chaos. It seemed like annihilation of the reality has begun.
Protagonist's POV:
When I opened my eyes the same phenomenon as when I entered this plane happened only more worse but fortunately it didn't injure my soul this time.
Sometime later the unpleasant phenomenon finally subsided.
My quest of devouring this reality has to be hurried now, I thought looking at my system screen.

How did the physique stat change into body synchronization and why?
No use wasting time thinking about it.
This body feels really good ,it feels like when I was in my soul form:free and spirited.
How am I gonna move around in the vaccum, just as I was mulling over it I started accelerating. I guess features of this body are left to be discovered.
ON TOWARDS TO ANNIHILATIO NOW!
It's gonna take a long time to reach Jebus with my current speed and I can't teleport there. Let's just see how much I can accelerate with my current body. Thinking so I started accelerating and in a few minutes I was approaching the speed of light. Can I cross the speed limit with my perfect body?I mused.
Just as I was thinking I saw stillness everywhere I looked. So my body can travel at the speed of light, I thought excitedly. Maybe I can surpass the speed of light. Thinking so resumed accelerating my body and just as I expected I saw the whole reality warping,it seemed like the whole reality was trying to stop me, It was even worse than when I entered this plane. After some time the phenomenon finally stopped or maybe never existed as I saw the whole reality reversing,It looked wonderful;silent yet tumultuous, orderly yet unstable.
After admiring this wonder I started going toward my destination. In just a few seconds I reached Jebus but it wasn't as I expected. There was no any sign of a modern civilization let alone a type III civilization.'AI, what's going on here.' I asked AI.
AI replied,'Sir because of you travelling beyond the speed of light the time in this reality reversed.If nothing unexpected happens to this current civilization, in 10 million years you can expect a type III civilization.'
I don't have that much time left.
'AI,can you search for a way to enter other planes.'
'If I am upgraded I can do so.'
'Then do it,upgrade yourself and the detector. Permission to use energy granted.'
Until AI upgrades I guess I will devour some galaxies.
Deciding so I started gathering energy in my hands and shaping it like spherical net; it looked like a creator descending to bring judgement upon this world.
The spherical energy ball in my hands pushed the fabric of space-time and like a supernova, expanded rapidly to cover hundreds of galaxies almost instantaneously. I compactified the spherical net and inside it came a worming mass of energy permeating blinding heat and light.
I submerged the spherical ball into the boundless object in my soul and awaited the results.
And the results were as expected, it didn't make much difference.
'Upgrade finished, a total of 12 planes dected,with plane sir currently residing in included.The planes other than this plane contain only energy and very few beings. The beings in other planes seemed to be made up of energy only and are in a semi-conscious state. Other planes can be accessed by using the quantum plane which is the most convenient way to enter other planes. To enter quantum plane sir is advised to increase his spirit stat to more than 10^20 and shrink his body to 10^-39m.'
I guess quantum plane is really dangerous to need such a high spirit stats.
'AI increase my spirit stat as required.' I said.
Immediately afterwards I began to feel omniscient and omnipotent;I felt like I could create a entire reality by myself. I also got the ability to peer at other planes. Maybe I can enter other planes without going through quantum plane now.
Even so I decided to use the method devised by AI to avoid unwanted scenarios.
I looked at my stats and it looked really ludicrous

After preparing myself, I vanished.
3rd person POV:
Undulating structures and bizarreness was ubiquitous here suddenly the already chaotic scene became more and more chaotic as a zap of light encapsulating a human flashed by.
Protagonist's POV:
All I saw around me was darkness, darkness not alike the darkness in vacuum but darkness in nothingness. There was no concept of space-time but as stubborn as they are creation and destruction were present here. Blobs of nothingness were being created and destroyed unceasingly but my presence seemed to have disrupted the process as the blobs of nothingness around me transmuted into something.
I excitedly asked AI' AI,can I use this phenomenon to solve the current conundrum?'
'No, energy extraction through this phenomenon is possible but sir does not much time left to gather enough energy to stabilize the boundless object.'AI replied.
I asked again,' AI, can I devour this reality as devoured those galaxies before.'
'Yes, but it will be dangerous to do so with sir's spiritual powers.Sir is advised to use his physical body to do so.'
After getting reply from AI I used my hands to hold whole the boundless object in my hands, it felt like I was holding a whole reality on my hands. The boundless object after getting out my soul seemed even more unstable as it started ejecting chaotic energy like a newborn star.
I adroitly used my hands to mold the the boundless object in the shape of a net and let it loose. The net made up of energy, after leaving my hands quickly materialized and appeared in the different corners of this whole reality and compactified. With the copactification of the net, the whole reality compactified as well. Space-time continuum cracked and ceased to exist. Everyting in the reality and the reality itself transformed into a pulsating blob of energy.
'AI begin stabilising the boundless object.'
As I stared at the pulsating blob of energy trying to escape from my hands, it noticeably started becoming tranquil. After what felt like minutes, the blob of energy became tranquil. After placing the blob of energy inside my soul, I peered at my surroundings and once again I 'returned' where I started,
nothingness.
