Chapter 1: Death… and a New Beginning
"Is this… how I die?"
Arman's vision blurred as blood filled his mouth. His body lay broken on the cold ground, the sound of laughter echoing around him.
"Trash like you should never dream of becoming strong," one of them said before kicking him again.
Arman couldn't even feel the pain anymore. His fingers trembled weakly as he stared at the dark sky.
He had tried… tried so hard.
In a world where strength meant everything, he was born with zero talent. No matter how much he trained, he could never break through.
Mocked. Beaten. Forgotten.
And now… dying like a nobody.
"I… don't want this…"
His voice was barely a whisper.
"I want… power…"
"I want to live…"
His eyes slowly closed.
[Ding…]
A strange mechanical sound suddenly echoed in the darkness.
[Detecting strong desire…]
[Condition met… Activating God-Level System…]
Arman's consciousness flickered.
"What… is that?"
[Binding host…]
[Rebirth process initiated…]
A blinding light swallowed everything.
🌑 …
Arman suddenly opened his eyes.
"Hah!"
He gasped for air and sat up instantly.
"This… this is…"
He looked around in shock.
A small wooden room. A broken table. A familiar bed.
"This is my house…?"
His heart started pounding.
"No… this is impossible…"
He rushed to the mirror.
A young boy stared back at him.
Not the broken, dying body from before…
But his younger self.
"I… I'm alive?"
[Ding!]
[God-Level System Successfully Activated!]
A glowing blue screen appeared in front of him.
[Host: Arman]
[Level: 1]
[Strength: 1]
[Agility: 1]
[Skills: None]
Arman froze.
"A… system?"
His breathing became heavy.
"This… this is real?"
[Welcome, Host.]
[You have been granted one beginner reward.]
A box appeared in front of him.
[Open Beginner Pack?]
Arman's hands trembled.
"This is my chance…"
"This time… I won't be weak."
"I won't die like before."
His eyes burned with determination.
"Open it!"
[Ding!]
[You obtained: God-Tier Talent – Limit Breaker!]
"What?!"
[Limit Breaker: Allows the host to surpass all natural limits.]
Arman's heart almost stopped.
"Surpass… all limits?"
"That means…"
"I'm no longer talentless…"
A slow smile spread across his face.
Not a weak smile.
But a dangerous one.
"From today…"
"I'll become the strongest."
"And anyone who looked down on me…"
"I'll make them regret it."
Outside, the world was still the same.
But Arman…
Was no longer the same person.
[Main Quest Activated!]
[Become stronger. Survive. Dominate.]
Arman clenched his fist.
"Let the world… watch me rise."
