Chapter 1Goodbye Earth

Poltas didn't expect that by the end of his revenge he'd be lying in a pool of his own blood, slowly losing consciousness.

He was full of regrets. Had he known it'd end like this he would have changed his plan. Although those scumbags deserved to be killed after bullying his depressed sister to death, it was not okay for him to die with them.

Dying with them was a form of disrespect to his own life.

In his last few moments, he sincerely wished that someone would come save him.

Alas his wishful thoughts were not fulfilled, but unbeknownst to him, his determination for revenge had caught the attention of someone.

"Do you really want to use your wish for this Candidate?"

This inquiry from her supervising Transuniversal Officer brought her back from the dazed state.

"My time for choosing in this world has almost come to an end, if I do not choose now I'm afraid I'll have to return empty-handed."

The voice was laced with careful thought and a touch of sadness, hearing such words would make an average man willing to coax the being of light.

But the Officer was used to this. In her experience, Guardians had a tendency to appear as if they have been wronged, but in reality they all had scheming minds.

"Since you have selected this Candidate, please have a look at all the packages available for his transport to Floretia."

Nea, the guardian, nodded politely, but her misty eyes seemed to be saying otherwise. Looking at her blatant attempts to earn sympathy, the Officer felt perplexed before understanding the situation.

He came to the conclusion that she must be a poor guardian. She was not looking for a better candidate, but actually trying to find an affordable one. A half dead person with low extracurricular qualifications was probably the best she could take. But to still try and get a discount, she might not even have enough currency to take a dead man.

The Officer felt annoyed with her, but he had better feelings towards poor guardians rather than the rich trying to influence him, so he gave her a discount coupon.

With the 20% off discount coupon, Nea's eyes lit up like a volcano eruption.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, I will definitely leave a good review for you."

The Officer stomped his foot in anger at her words.

'What review? Our services are already a blessing, why would we take reviews from petty guardians'

Upon reaching the counter, Nea checked the packages and as expected they were all very bad and very expensive.

Basic Package: Candidate is transported in current condition to the universe of choice. No added benefits applied.

Classic Package: Candidate is transported in current condition to the universe of choice. Can choose one primary level skill at the cost of Candidate memory wipe.

Friendship Package: Candidate is transported in healthy condition to the universe of choice. No added benefits applied.

Deluxe Package: Candidate is transported in healthy condition to the universe of choice. Can choose one primary level skill at the cost of Candidate memory wipe.

Premium Package: Candidate is transported in healthy condition to the universe of choice. Can choose one primary skill at no cost.

Nea didn't dare to look beyond these packages. Overall there were about 30 packages to choose from. The only package she could afford was the basic one. The reason she had the option to choose now was due to the discount coupon.

The basic package was essentially useless for someone like her Candidate who was already on the verge of death. The Classic and Friendship Package were equally expensive but Nea was unsure if getting a primary level skill was worth it.

Primary level skills were strength, intellect, adaptability, charm and intuition.

Strength would make a person physically stronger. Intellect would allow a person to perceive hidden intentions of others and information from nature.

Adaptability helped assimilate the Candidate into the foreign Universe, making them aware of its culture, customs and languages. Charm was a very superficial skill to appeal to people but if used on the correct Candidate it would have a stronger impact than the secondary level skill, hypnosis. Intuition improved luck and survivability through any form of hardships.

Nea felt that intellect would be useful for her Candidate but permanent removal of memory was known to be problematic. And she did not want her Candidate to end up with a collapsed mind.

The Premium Package was very good but too expensive. So after a bit of consideration Nea picked the Friendship Package.

"Is that all? Would you like to try our add-ons?"

The person at the counter spoke monotonously, almost like a zombie. These words were probably said a lot during the job.

Unwilling to offend the person, Nea stared at the add-ons list. Even the cheapest add-on was more expensive than her entire package. Feeling attacked, Nea quickly declined the offer to try an add-on and paid with her money and coupon.

"We hope you had a satisfactory shopping experience at the Transuniversal Exchange Store.

And upon hearing these words her vision went black.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Young Master's PoV: Woke Up As A Villain In A Game One Day

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.
