Universal Sign-in: Ascending to Godhood With My 10x Rewards!

[WSA 2026 Entry] ____ Dustin Walters WAS a coward. He'll be the first to admit it. When life got hard, he ran. When his sister went missing, he ran. When the gang he tried to steal away their 'customers' from caught him mid-negotiation, he tried to run; but this time, he didn't make it. Beaten, broken, and bleeding out in an alley, Dustin whispered his last words: "I hope the world gets destroyed. It caused me a lot of pain." He meant it as... a joke. The universe did not. [Ding! Your dying wish has been granted!] Resurrected moments before the apocalypse he accidentally caused, Dustin's eyes met the sight of... [Ding! Daily Sign-in system initializing...] "A system?" [Ding! 10x Multiplier system initializing...] "Two systems??" [Ding! Leveling System initializing...] "Great. What a shocker. Three systems." Now he's stuck in a monster-infested hellscape of his own making, armed with nothing but a steel pipe, triple cheats, and the burning desire to stop running for once in his miserable life. The world ended because of him, and now he has to survive it while slowly ascending to the position of a 'guardian,' something that the universe itself calls him. ___ Here's a confusing question. How on Earth did someone who had been a 'coward' all his life ascend to become a god?

One Piece:The Accidental Emperor

Recently, a reporter from the World Economic Journal risked their life to secure an exclusive interview with the pirate who had just risen to the rank of one of the Four Emperors—Louis Bardell. Now known across the seas as “Pirate Commodore Bardell,” he carries a reputation unlike any other. Every captain he had ever sworn loyalty to was dead. Capone “Gang” Bege. Gecko Moria. Shiki the Golden Lion. Charlotte Linlin. One after another, the giants of the era fell. And yet Bardell alone climbed higher. From subordinate… to survivor… to Emperor of the Sea. To the world at large, Bardell is the most cunning fraud of the Great Pirate Era—a master schemer, a manipulator of grand designs, an ambitious mind said to rival even Blackbeard himself. But when confronted by the reporter, the newly crowned Emperor nearly burst into tears. “They’ve completely lost their minds with these theories!” Bardell complained bitterly. “They keep saying I betrayed my captains from the shadows. Tell me—does anyone honestly think I’m smart enough to pull that off?” He looked genuinely aggrieved. “Every captain I ever joined died in some kind of accident. I don’t even know what’s going on anymore!” He threw his hands in the air. “And becoming one of the Four Emperors? That wasn’t even my idea! Big Mom was terrifyingly strong, and then—bam!—she was just gone! The next thing I know, everyone pushes me forward and says I’m the new Emperor!” He leaned toward the reporter urgently. “You’re journalists. Report the truth! Clear my name! Print more papers if you have to, alright?!” The reporter merely adjusted their glasses and calmly finished their notes. Observe closely. Even at the pinnacle of success, the great fraud remains flawless—careful, airtight, never leaving a single crack in his story.
