Chapter 1 - Library Of Myriad Worlds**

Outside the omniverse, a eldritch monster resides.

His continuosly growing body, so large that nobody can even find the starting and ending point, if he don't compress it's size.

Slimy tentacles streching from his body.

A absolute aura of destuction and creation radiate from his body. But nobody was aware of his existence, since he has always concealed himself with other appearances.

*******

Countless eyes slowly opened on his body. Each of the eye with different shape and colour.

"That was a good sleep."

A ethereal voice resounded in the nothingness.

A dark purple aura emitted from his eyes and wrapped his whole body.

His body size started to decrease rapidly. After a while it transformed into a human shaped figure.

Slowly, the dark purple aura dimmed and disappeard, leaving a young, naked man standing.

He opened his eyelids, revealing a pair of vibrant blue eyes.

He had tall, well-built, and strikingly handsome body of 192 cm, with distinctive white hair reaching his shoulders.

He opened his mouth and revealed pearly white teeths. His lips streached to the side and a big smile creeped out on his face.

He combed his hair with his left hand.

"It's been a while but ... It's time to have some fun."

"Let's start with this."

*SNAP*

He snapped his finger and a huge golden door with intricate design appeared in the nothingness.

Upon a closer look, many ancient looking words could be seen, written on the door surface.

He streached his hand and touched the golden door.

Suddenly, he and the mysterious door, both disappeared.

*******

"Wow....no matter how much i think about it, it might really be entertaining."

My name is Nox.

For a long time, i was just floating in nothingness or void, without any purpose.

I slept, woke up, slep again , and the cycle continued, untill one day, when i opened my eyes and detected some other life forms heading towards me.

But as soon as they came in contact with the energy, that was leaking from my body, they disintegrates and disappeared.

"I didn't know how to control my energy at that time."

"But since they were travelling here, they must have been strong creatures."

Anyway...

*******

With this encounter i confirmed, that there were others, who existed other than me.

At this point, i had already developed many abilities.

I used my abilities to search for other beings in void, but there was only me in there. I stopped looking for other creatures and closed my eyes.

Once again, the same repeatative cycle started. I slept for a long time, woke up, looked for other creatures, slept again.

After a long time, when i woke up and was searching, i finally saw a creature.

It was also heading towards me, but was still far away in void.

Because of my previous encounter, i had some idea about what was going to happen soon.

But this time, i felt some strange urge to...swallow that creature.

*******

"Fuck... that was my first time having a meal."

"I didn't even have the basic desires before that time."

Later, i also developed seven basic desires, sloth, greed, gluttony, envy, lust, pride and wrath.

*******

At that time i did not know, what this feeling was, nor did i care.

As my instinct told to, i streached a tentacle towards the approaching creature.

As soon as my tentacle reached near him, a mouth shaped hole, filled with countless sharp and cannie like teeths appeared on the creatures head.

Before the creature could even realise anything, the mouth shut close on his head, swallowing the creature alive.

I could feel it desolving and turning into energy inside my body.

Soon, i received some unknown memories and felt a unknown power flowing in my body.

Although, it was nothing compared to my own power, i learned a new way to use my power.

It was the first time that i had eaten something.

I focused on the memories that i recieved just now.

(Devoured memories of Zhou fan)

In a world, filled with cultivators, a boy was born in a poor farmer house.

Five years passed.

The boy, Zhou fan was growing helthy. His parents were poor but they still fed their child well.

One day, while he was playing outside his house, a old man with long white beard descended from the sky.

He looked at the boy and muttered,

"Ho ho ho...what a surprise. A boy with ancient heavenly void physique."

"His talent is wasted in this backward village. I should ask his parents to take him as my direct disciple."

The Old man talked with zhou fan's parent's.

After they agreed, he took zhou fan and flew away.

After a few hours, the old man descended in his Ancient hidden sect, and proceeded to head towards talent checking piller.

The old man and zhou fan stood in front of a giant stone piller.

"Disciple zhou, touch this piller with your right hand palm."

Zhou fan did as he was told. He streached his right hand towards the piller.

*BOO* *BOOM* *BOOM*

As soon as zhou fan touched the piller, a loud noise resounded in mortal realm, immortal realm, and demonic realm.

A strange phenomina of dragon and phoenix dancing in the sky, was seen by everyone.

Inside the talent checking hall...

Seven coloured light shone on the stone piller and cracked started to appear on it.

*CRACKLE* *CRACKLE* *CRACKLE*

Soon, the cracks spread on the stone piller like webs of spider.

*BOOOOOOM*

With a loud sound, the talent checking piller blasted and it's debris was thrown in all directions.

Old cultivator made a protective shield aroud him and zhou fan.

Zhou fan was stunned and frightened for a moment, thinking if made a mistake.

Hesitatingly, he turned to look at his master expression.

Zhou fan rekaxed as soon as he saw a big smile at the old man's wrinkled face.

"Ha ha ha ha ha....."

"What a luck, what a luck... My new desciple possess the never before seen talent for cultivation."

"Not only that, he also have all affinity for cultivating all laws."

"Zhou fan, my disciple , you are going to reach the peak of cultivation someday ...and maybe surpass it."

Zhou fan felt happy, after hearing his master praising him.

In this world, cultivation was everything.

If you are weak, you get trampled like ants.

"I will become the strongest cultivator."

Zhou fan clenched his little fist as he vowed in his heart....

*******

Although, they were not my memories, it felt like i had lived the life of Zhou fan.

I learned many things from those memories, along with the fact, that devouring other beings is just another form of cultivation.

After having my first meal, i kept repeating my routine of sleeping and waking up.

Everything was same as before, except for the fact that i had dreams this time.

Whenever some new guys came, i would wake up and gulp them down my throat.

I learned to properly utilize their devoured abilities with time.

Sometimes, creatures who looked similar to me also found their way to me.

They were specially delicious.

After those creatures stopped coming here, i used my abilities to enter their world.

But now i had enough knowledge to understand that i couldn't enter their world as i was.

I utilized some of my devoured abilities and choose to transform in those creatures form.

It was not long after travelling to a few worlds that i realised somthing.

I was too strong to feel any excitement from doing anything in those worlds. Plus tavelling without any aim was also boring.

After realising that, i returned to the void and entered another cycle of sleeping and waking up.

After an unknown amout of time passed, i woke up and summoned a artifact.

This artifact belonged to one of my meals.

After devouring him, i became it's new owner.

I had never used it before, because it was just a library to read storybooks. There was no other function.

*******

So this is basically why i have opened this library, 'Library Of Myriad Worlds'.

"I have read many stories in mortal world as well but this..."

I walked towards the bookselves and looked at endless books contained within them.

"...is something else."
