Chapter 1 - Episode 1 – The Wish

December 31st, 2029 — 11:59 p.m.

Another ordinary New Year's Eve.

Families, lovers, and friends were counting down the final seconds together.

Everyone was waiting for the new year to begin…

everyone except me.

My name is Kael. Just an ordinary guy. I'm twenty years old, but I have neither a good life nor money to my name.

My parents died when I was seventeen, leaving me behind in this miserable world.

My so-called friends? They were either trying to use me or talking behind my back.

Eventually, I stopped seeing them altogether.

But that didn't matter, right? Life goes on… doesn't it?

Despite all the bad things that had happened to me, I was still an intern at a decent company.

If I kept working hard, maybe—just maybe—they'd hire me full-time.

After all, no one worked harder than I did. I gave everything I had…

and I was going to keep doing so.

Or at least, that's what I thought.

Back then, I believed nothing worse could happen to me.

But I was wrong.

The person I trusted most—my girlfriend—betrayed me.

She and her new boyfriend, a rising idol and the son of a wealthy businessman, posted fake "confessions" about me online.

Because of those lies, people began to hate me, avoid me, and treat me like trash.

Even my company fired me on the spot.

The worst part wasn't the rumors themselves…

it was who spread them.

The very person who was supposed to love me.

Ha… hahaha.

Every time I think about it, rage burns inside me.

And yet, more than anyone else, I hate myself—for trusting the wrong people.

But there's nothing I can do now. Nothing at all.

As I sat alone, waiting for the new year to arrive, I closed my eyes and made a wish.

I wished I could wake up from this world… and leave it behind as quickly as possible.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!?"

The Master of Reality grants you permission to leave this world and exist in another.

If you accept, you will receive Initial Rewards.

But remember—

the world you're going to is completely random.]

Potential Rewards:

A Mid-Tier Divine System completely devoted to assisting you (with advanced A.I.), or the option to create your own skill accompanied by a Low-Tier Shop System (also supported by A.I.).

Rewards:

Planetary Teleportation Parchment (Random) (One-time use)

(Will automatically activate if not used within one day.)

Skill: Master of All Languages

Tier: Super Epic

Type: Passive

Description: Instantly comprehend and speak all languages that exist within this Reality as if they were your own.

1,000 System (Shop) Points

Do you accept?

[Yes]    [No]

"Wait a minute, you can't be serious—this can't be real!!"

"I can't believe this..."

"System."

[Yes]

"If I accept, you're not going to ask me for something weird, right? Like... half of my soul?"

[Ding... No. I am an intelligence created by the Master of this "Reality."

Your soul, as a low-level being, could never attract the attention of my master—or mine.]

"Okay... then why me?"

[Ding... This "Wish" has been granted completely at random.]

"If it's really random, then why are the rewards exactly what I wanted?"

[Ding... This "Wish" was designed to align with the desire of the one who made it.

For example, if you had wished for money, you'd gain a power related to wealth.

If you had wished for women—or, as you say, a "girlfriend"—you'd gain a power tied to lust.

But you wished to leave this world. Therefore, these rewards have been displayed.]

"I see... fine, no point dragging this out.

I want to create my own ability, and I accept these rewards.

After all, there's no one and nothing left for me in this world..."

[Ding... Please describe in detail the ability you wish to create.]

[Skill:

Tier:

Type:

Description:]

"Hmm... If I'm really going to another world, and I don't know what kind of world it'll be, then I need to get stronger fast."

[Ding... Reminder: You can only create a skill with a maximum tier of Rare.]

"WHAT?! That's not fair! Even if I don't fully understand the difference between mid and low systems, I'm sure a higher-tier one would be stronger!"

[Ding... Those are the rules.

Even if we granted you an Epic skill, you'd grow too quickly—and that's not what my Master desires.

He doesn't want you to gain power too fast and become arrogant.]

"But you gave me a Super Epic Skill that lets me master all languages!"

[Ding... That is normal. While it may not be useful in combat, you can instantly comprehend every language in this Reality—including ancient and divine languages.

Knowing certain divine languages may even enhance your strength.]

"Wow... whatever. I've got something in mind. But before that, tell me the list of tiers."

[Ding...

In this Reality, these are the only existing tiers for Abilities, Equipment, and other entities.]

"Oh well, I've got something in my mind now."

Skill: Art of Infinite Creation

Tier: Rare

Type: Passive/Active

Description:

Based on an energy capacity of [10,000/0].

You gain 10 Energy every 24 hours, which can be used to create skills, equipment, and more.

There is a 10× Energy difference between each tier, except for the final one beyond Ultimate Celestial, which increases by 100,000×.

Tiers:

•Common = 10 Energy

•Uncommon = 100 Energy

•Rare = 1,000 Energy

•Super Rare = 10,000 Energy

•Epic = 100,000 Energy

•Ultra Epic = 1,000,000 Energy

•Legendary = 10,000,000 Energy

•Ultra Legendary = 100,000,000 Energy

•Super Legendary = 1B Energy

•Mysterious = 10B Energy

•Ultra Mysterious = 100B Energy

•Super Mysterious = 1T Energy

•Ancient = 10T Energy

•Transcendent = 100T Energy

•Ultimate = 1Qd Energy

•Semi-Divine = 10Qd Energy

•Divine = 100Qd Energy

•Semi-God = 1Qn Energy

•God = 10Qn Energy

•Ancient God = 100Qn Energy

•Transcendent God = 1Sx Energy

•Semi-Celestial = 10Sx Energy

•Celestial = 100Sx Energy

•Ancient Celestial = 1Sp Energy

•Transcendent Celestial = 10Sp Energy

•Ultimate Celestial = 100Sp Energy

•Infinity = 1N Energy

This ability can increase its own tier using Energy and/or merge with other creations.

With each Tier increase, Energy Capacity multiplies by 10×, while Daily Energy Gain increases by 10%.

(Every 3 tiers, an additional zero is added to the growth percentage.

For example: at Ultra Epic, it increases by 100% instead of 10%; at Super Legendary, it increases by 1,000%.)

"Does this look acceptable now?"

[Ding... For a Rare ability, these restrictions are quite balanced.

Creating even a single rare ability requires 100 days, and reaching Infinity—or even Ultra Epic—would take approximately 273,97 years.]

"Hehe, we'll see about that. Don't underestimate my intelligence."

[Ding... I look forward to it.]

[Ding... Rewards received!
