Chapter 1 - Zoa

Craven was sitting outside his parents house when he saw a huge golden meteor coming down from the sky splitting into tiny crystals that streaked across the sky ten of them landed on his street.

The dollar signs in his eyes were as bright as the sun when he thought about much money he could make if he sold them. Some meteorites could go for a thousand a gram he remembered reading about it awhile ago.

Craven ran like a madman so he could get the Crystals and make a fortune he quickly collected them all and ran back into his house his oldera sister were both down in the kitchen while his parents were upstairs he called all of them in the dining room while he dumped all the crystal he carried in his shirt on the table.

"What do you want" his sister asked when she noticed the golden diamond like crystals

"These crystals fell from the sky i figured we could make alot of money from them since meteorites are worth alot" he said as his family started to grab them and look at them then they started to glow brighter and brighter and then instantly Craven was transported to a dark void that's when he heard a voice.

"Hello Craven" a monotonous female voice said. "Earths people have been chosen to survive the devouring of your universe. this universe once consumed an will give zoa more energy and allow its gods to become more powerful. Everyone with a crystal has a head start and gets a chance to awaken any ancestors bloodline as long as they belong to one of these professions: politicians militaries businesses scholars or artisans. you can also unlock a legacy bloodline which allows you to have the blood of a king or emperor "

There are exactly two legacy bloodlines inside you. which is the roman empire's Augustus and the 18th Thutmose Egyptian dynasty. which one do you want"

He wasn't suprised about his to completely different legacies considering he was mixed his mom was black she was a historian so he knew that he had some roman in him. His dad was white. his dad was in delta force. I think the thutmose dynasty- ." craven said out loud before he was cut off by the system "

"you chose the thutmose dynasty. let the test begin"

"what!? i was trying to say was i think the thutmose dynasty is the beginning of the Egyptian golden age " craven looked like he had just been slapped in the face. he was going to choose rome although nothing was wrong with Egypt rome had a stronger military and was more popular. "now someone else will get the agustus blood-" he stopped as he saw the creature of his nightmares it was a humanoid roach. he started shaking as terror ran through his bones until he realized that there was a sword on the ground he rushed to pick it up craven hated being afraid so in order to stop the fear he decided to kill it and dashed toward the monster.

"ahhhh I'm going to squash you like the stupid fucking roach you are he raised his sword and slashed at its throat but rolled to the side as the roach was about to block and then he charged again but the roach was fast and doged his sword while it lashed out with kick of its own which sent craven flying.

"Aghhh" craven gasped as a few of his ribs broke. he stood up ready to charge this time he rolled under the monsters kick and sliced off it's other leg. as the monster fell backwards he used its momentum to chop off its head after its body hit the ground the system started talking again.

"congratulations you have passed the test with a one-hundred percent completion. You not only fought your fears but also defeated them you have won three epic grade weapons one set of gold grade cut resistant torso armor from wyvern leather as long as the weapon attacking is under gold you won't be cut, but it does not protect from blunt or stab damage at all. what class do you want." multiple armor types apeared before his eyes.

Ranger class: a light armour set that allows it's user to stay fast and nimble while also allowing them to take a light amount of damage. A ranger specializes in stealth, nature, tracking, swords and archery.

Craven chose it without even looking at the other classes it sounded perfect for him he already new his style his mom had put all siblings in martial arts classes and he picked up sword fighting as well knife and axe throwing.

"You can now choose three weapons and an outfit allowed by your class in this world any weapon or armor you use that's not allowed by your class will lose effectiveness by fifty percent. all of your cold weapons are in this world but even the cheapest metals have magic in our world making them lighter and stronger compared to your world. the only hot weapons allowed are weapons like the hwacha. gunpowder is extremely rare here.

"The gods don't allow hot weapons because they have a high a death rate and they want to keep their followers alive"

"Are you a god." craven asked

"No I was created to show stats and achievements and help the people of this world choose their path. you can choose your weapons and outfit. all swords up until the 1600s are available you are not restricted by your legacy, you can create more swords once you have a blacksmith."

craven scrolled down the list until he saw a recurve bow that magically collapses into just the riser so you can put it in your pocket and a leather arm guard it comes with 5 epic grade arrows that's stored inside the bow that appear when you pull back on the bow string. Craven decided to get this bow and started looking for swords of this world.

"He found a transparent blood red falchion with an S shaped guard the blade also could secrete poison, it could absorb blood apon the victims death which allowed for a clean death. The last weapon he chose was a kukri it's cutting power was vicious it could decapitate almost any A grade creature it came with a ring that it resided in. The leather chest piece had dire wolf fur on the inside. it covered his his whole torso she had a black undershirt with long sleevesthat covered up the rest of his arms, it was made from a cotton like material, it also came with a long hood that looked like something from assassin's creed which was red and black with black boots. the falchion was at his side and the kukri in his ring.

"you are now finished with your inventory and will be sent to zena city."

"Wait is my family there" craven asked realizing his family got teleported too.

"yes they are" the system said.

With that a portal opened. When craven walked to the other side he saw a magnificent city made of stone an marble he saw a statue of a knight that radiated strength it was near that statue that he saw his family. he immediately dashed off towards them, and he quickly found out that all of his family passed with a 100%
