Chapter 1: Rebirth of a Giant
Darkness surrounded me, the void of sudden death stretching endlessly. But then, muffled sounds cut through the silence, growing clearer with every passing second. A sharp groan escaped my lips as I stirred awake.
"Kill that monster!" A warrior's roar shattered the confusion.
"Huh!? Wait, I'm no—!" My protest was cut short as a barrage of attacks came from all sides, mercenaries striking without hesitation.
...
Hi, I'm Justin, and you're probably wondering...
How did I end up in this mess?
Well, let's rewind a bit.
...
I was just your average guy—an otaku, a gaming addict, an all-around geek living an unremarkable life. Then, out of nowhere, I died. And if that wasn't insane enough, I got reincarnated… as a Giant.
And not just any giant—I'm talking 150 meters tall, towering over people like they're ants beneath my pinky toe.
Just as I was trying to process my new reality, a familiar yet dreaded sound echoed in my head.
Ding!
"Welcome, Host, to the Giant System."
A system?! Just like in the mangas and novels I binge-read? Hell yeah! But then, something caught my attention in the interface…
[Harem Collection Quest]
...Harem?!
'HAREM?!' My brain short-circuited. Who in their right mind would date me, a monstrous skyscraper of flesh and muscle?!
Pushing that aside, I took in my surroundings—vast, empty, completely unfamiliar. And then—
Ding!
"Host has unlocked the Starter Pack."
Oh? Freebies?
Ding!
"Host has gained the Passive Skill Pack."
Ding!
"Host has unlocked the following passive skills:"
[Divine Famine]
[Immortality]
[Hyper Regeneration]
[Infinite Potential]
[Limit Breaker]
[Max Luck]
[Virgin Eyes of Truth] (Virgin female seeker)
[Copy Cat]
[SYNTHESIS]
[Predator]
[Intimidation]
[Auto Repair]
[Physical Resistance]
[Magic Resistance]
[Soul Resistance]
[Mental Resistance]
[Continuous Evolution]
[Quick Adaptability]
[Mind Reading]
[Lie Detector]
[Painkiller]
...BRO.
I'm busted. Literal god-tier.
I was ready to kick back and enjoy my overpowered life when—
Ding!
"Host has been given Daily Tasks."
100,000 push-ups
100,000 sit-ups
100,000 squats
100,000 sword swings
100,000 pull-ups
100,000 laps
100,000 jumping jacks
etc…
Wait, WAIT, WAIT! I'm already invincible! Why do I need to train?!
Ding!
"Host must put in effort to gain skills and experience."
Ding!
"Host has been given a Spatial Training Ground."
"Training begins now."
"Wait, what?! I'm not ready yet!" I screamed, but—
"Host cannot leave without completing the tutorial."
"Notice: Time inside the tutorial does not affect the external timeline."
And just like that… my hellish training began.
...
Weeks Later
Panting heavily, I wiped the sweat from my brow. "Alright, let's check my stats."

Ding!
"Host has completed 10% of the quest. Reward granted."
A brilliant flash blinded me, and when it faded, a book lay before me.
Martial God & Heavenly Demon Footwork Techniques
Heaven-Shattering Footwork: A technique of the Martial God, capable of shattering the heavens and achieving speeds faster than light upon mastery.
Shadowless Demon Flash: A footwork of the Heavenly Demon, perfect for assassination, erasing presence completely.
"Wait—why do I need assassination skills?! I'm the size of a skyscraper! My mere footsteps cause earthquakes!"
"Host will definitely need these skills in the future."
Yeah, sure…
...
Two Months Later
After relentless training, I mastered both techniques and even combined them into one ultimate move:
[Shadowless Heaven-Shattering Demon Footwork]
Now, I was 100x faster than any grandmaster.
Along the way, I picked up some other techniques:
Martial God Sub-Techniques:
[Fire King Hell Fists]
[Water King Fluid Movements]
[Supreme Golden Body Technique]
[Iron Dragon Scale]
[Wind King Storm-Breaking Slash]
[Lightning Emperor's Thousand Swords]
Heavenly Demon Sub-Techniques:
[Yama's Judgment]
[Thousand Poison Immunity]
[12 Swords of Death]
[Poison Palms]
[Iron Demon Technique]
[Heavenly Demon Body]
[Tomb of Swords]
…And that's just a fraction of them.
Ding!
"Host has completed 55% of the quest. Additional rewards granted."
"Training Hall Upgraded."
"Battle Simulation Unlocked."
Battle Simulation?
"A feature that improves the host's experience against all opponent types."
"Notice: [Painkiller] and other passive skills are deactivated."
"...Wait, WHAT?! I have to feel pain?!"
"Host must experience pain and death to avoid becoming a coward."
UGH.
And so… my real training began.
...
Three Years Later…
After countless battles, brutal training, and near-death experiences…
I was ready.
Ready to take on this world.
And if they think they can stop me?
Let them try.
