{Aghhh...What happened?}
My name is Percy Atlas Magus....
I am 17 years old...
My blood type is O+….
I am a Capricorn....
And the last thing I remember... was chaos.
A massive lightning storm appeared out of nowhere, splitting the sky with unnatural force. I felt it—raw, untamed energy surging through me, latching onto every fiber of my being. For a brief, fleeting moment, my muscles, my organs, even the very molecules in my body felt like they were in perfect harmony—synergized into something greater.
Then, as suddenly as it came... it shattered.
The discord was unbearable. The momentary unity of my body collapsed into disarray, like an orchestra suddenly stripped of its conductor. Now, I feel... off. Weak. Disconnected. It's as if my body no longer belongs to me, like I'm floating in an abyss with no anchor.
I try to see, but there is only darkness.
Am I blind? Did that storm take my sight? Or am I just... nowhere?
How long have I been like this?
Then again, does it even matter? It's not like anyone would miss me.
My so-called "friends" stopped hanging around ages ago. Teachers wouldn't bat an eye if I disappeared. Society? It keeps moving, whether you exist or not.
My parents... they're gone. Dead. A distant memory that lingers in the empty corners of my mind.
But... my little sister...
She's still here. She still exists. I can't leave her. I won't leave her.
She has no one else. Just me.
Well, unless you count our uncle and his vile excuse of a wife—leeches who never gave a damn about us. Their demon spawn of children? No better. Honestly, they can all rot in hell.
Oops—sorry, Satan. That was an insult to you. You're far more respectable than those parasites.
But I can be at peace knowing that at least my sister will be okay. With the money our parents left behind, she'll have enough to get by. She can go to an elite school, build a future. She's smart and resourceful. She'll make it.
After that… I don't know.
Thinking about all of this is making me tired…
No.
I can't let myself fall asleep. Not now. Not when I might still have a chance.
As long as my brain stays active, as long as I don't drift into the void, there's at least a 15% higher chance of survival. I have to hold on.
I need to think. Keep my mind moving. Let's go over everything.
I remember... the court ruling in my favor. Sole financial custody over my parents' trust fund.
I remember my uncle's face when he realized he had no control over it. Oh, that was priceless.
I remember holding my sister, feeling her relief, her joy. We were finally free of them. No more control. No more manipulation.
I remember my investment in Kelp Electronics—a gamble that paid off. A 10% buyout on the initial payment.
I remember…
I remember…
...Wait.
My thoughts are slipping. My mind is unraveling.
It's like a screen that's already black from a lost signal, but you can still feel the energy humming behind it—fading, flickering... about to turn off for good.
No.
I won't let it.
Gughhh...No! …...I cannot shut down...
I....
Have...
To...
Stay...
Awake...
Percy felt himself slipping—his connection to his body unraveling thread by thread. It was an eerie sensation, like floating in an endless void, unable to move, unable to feel. His limbs? Nonexistent. His breath? Silent. His heartbeat? A distant echo fading into oblivion.
There was nothing he could do.
Damn it!
A surge of raw panic surged through his mind, thrashing against the encroaching emptiness.
I don't want to die yet!
His thoughts clawed desperately for something—anything—to hold on to.
There's still so much left to do!
His sister. His unfinished plans. The future he had barely begun to shape.
Please!
He didn't care who was listening—God, fate, the universe, or some cosmic force beyond his understanding.
Whoever's out there... Please, let me live!
His mind screamed into the abyss, a final, desperate plea.
I'll do anything you want!
He didn't care if he had to crawl through hell, make a deal with a devil, or sacrifice every ounce of his strength—he just couldn't die here.
Please! Please!!
Tears pooled in his unseen eyes, a silent agony of helplessness washing over him.
Then, just as despair threatened to consume him whole—warmth.
A gentle, radiant embrace wrapped around him, dissolving the suffocating cold. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before—a warmth that soothed, that cradled, that whispered of solace.
Percy's silent sobs stilled. His breathing steadied. The fear gripping his soul loosened, giving way to something calmer, something deeper.
And then—a memory.
Like the soft flicker of candlelight in the dark, a scene unfolded before him, drawing him into its embrace.
Young Percy: "Mommy is there such a thing as magic?" little Percy asked to the beautiful woman who let him sit in her lap.
Percy's Mom: "Of course, sweetie! magic exists even in the things that don't seem magical."
Young Percy: "But mommy if magic exists everywhere then how will I know the difference between reality and fiction."
Percy's Mom: "The answer is simple...Perspective!"
Young Percy: "Perspective?"
Percy's Mom: "Exactly, my little angel is so smart! If you believe if something is magical then it is magical. It may not be the same magical item in other people's perspective, but it doesn't change the fact that in your eyes, it is magical."
Young Percy frowned and looked down a little.
"Why do you ask sweetheart!?" she asked Percy.
Young Percy: "No reason!" he said before his mother picked him up and took him back inside their tiny house.
Percy's Mom: "Come on, I think I heard daddy coming home with your favorite strawberry cream and vanilla frosting cake."
As Percy was zoning out, he stared at the little blue screen before him,
{Infinite Omega System Initializing...Current Progress 1%}
After the memory phased out, Percy was reminded of that little screen that shortly disappeared after at the end of his birthday for the next 12 years...
(Why did I just remember that just now....)
(I never could figure out what that thing was...)
(And it always showed up on my birthday from the beginning of the day to the end....)
(Wait! ....Wasn't my birthday today?!)
As if on cue, a blue screen displayed before him just like it did during the past 12 years of his life. Except there was something different about this time!
{Infinite Omega System Initializing...Current Progress 99.8%}
(What!!! Only .2% left, come on baby make it 100%.)
Even though he could not feel his body, he knew deep down or whatever, that something great was about to happen to him.
{Current Progress...99.9%}
(Come On...) he said while matching the speed of the progress rate.
{Current Progress...100%}
The screen went blank for a moment.
(What, that cannot be all there is to it....)
Then more sentences began typing out...
{Welcome…Percy Atlas Magus}
{My name is Beta, your lifelong assistant and personal guide to help navigate the complexities of the aforementioned program: The Infinite Omega System}
{Since it is your first time using this system, you have been given 3 welcome packages!}
{Would you like to open your packages?}
Percy couldn't wait any longer...(YES!)
{Wonderful...Your first welcome package consists of "Eternal Lucky Charm" how amazing is that!}
(What!! ….)
(How the hell is that supposed to help me right now!!) Percy said throwing an annoyed fit.
{Moving on...Your second welcome package consists of "Life/Death Benefits" Wow, aren't you amazing!!!}
Percy looked at the screen completely out of it, (What the fuck is that supposed to mean!??? Are you fucking with me right now?)
{Hold on to your seats because the best is yet to come....}
Feeling a surge of irritation at the unfolding events, Percy was on the verge of letting his frustration get the better of him. However, in the midst of his annoyance, the message caught his attention, prompting him to reconsider his immediate reaction.
{And finally....your third package consists of "Absolute Immunity" Unbelievable!! Your unstoppable!!!}
(ARGHHH--UHHHHH!!!!!) Percy, overwhelmed by the situation and his emotions, let out a loud, exasperated scream. This primal outburst, echoing from the depths of his frustration, served as a release for the pent-up tension and stress he was experiencing.
(THESE THREE PACKAGES ARE USELESS TO ME!!! IN CASE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE BUT MY BODY AND MY BRAIN ARE CURRENTLY DYING!!!)
(SO, BETA MOVE YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, THEN I WON'T HAVE ANY CHANCE TO USE THIS IS SO CALLED, ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY!!!)
{…}
{Based on a rough scan of your body, it appears as the vessel has been damaged due to overcharge of electrical energy....if host wishes, I can use the system to heal your damaged body.}
After reading that, Percy sighed loudly.
(Finally, you say something that actually helps me! Yes, please go ahead and use the system to heal my body.)
{Very well, I will use the system to loc--}
(I don't care what the process is, just hurry up and heal me?!)
{But I think the master should really Lis--}
(Look I do not care how you do what you do, I just want you to do it as fast as possible!)
(It's like I can feel my soul leaving my body, like it is trying to move on!)
{….}
{Very well, I shall begin the process...Please note that by operating the full system to its extremity I will not be able to take any additional commends due to the large amount of processing power; I am about to undertake.}
Percy was silent but nodded.
{Operating multiples systems...}

{DDS...Current Progress 59.7%}
{…}
{Finding dimension where the host body meets likelihood of surviving at its most optimal form....}
Percy's instincts flared, a deep unease settling in his gut as he sensed a shift—something fundamental had changed. His gaze snapped toward Beta, his mind racing to grasp the implications of what was unfolding.
(Wait—Beta! What do you mean by 'locating dimension'?)
{Dimension Found!}
{DDS currently converting injuries and host body to new dimension...Current Progress 75%}
A pulse of energy surged around him, distorting the space in a way that sent alarm bells ringing in his mind. His breath hitched. (This wasn't normal.)
(Beta, stop! I didn't ask for that! Don't send me to a different dimension! That's not what I meant—damn it, listen to me!)
But his protests went unheard, drowned out by the overwhelming force that gripped his existence. His surroundings warped, twisting at the edges of his perception, and then—
{IOSR to new dimension...Current Progress 55%}
{Converting Soul Compatibility to Mana Soul Compatibility System...Current Progress 69%}
(What the hell is a 'Mana Soul'?)
The words formed instinctively, yet he barely understood them himself. A concept foreign and enigmatic, hovering just beyond his reach, teasing at something buried deep within him.
His pulse thundered in his ears as he tried to break through the chaos.
(Beta!!)
He reached out, desperate to grasp some control over the spiraling situation, but it was like trying to hold onto smoke. His words vanished into the void. Beta remained unresponsive.
And the world around him—was already changing.
{BRS...Current Progress 70%}
{MSCS...Current Progress 89.3%}
{IOSR....Current Progress 74.9%}
{DDS....Current Progress 95.6%}
(Damn it… This is my fault. I pushed the system too fast without fully understanding it first—why didn't I wait?!)
Regret gnawed at Percy as he was thrust into an experience unlike anything he had ever known. His reality unraveled, replaced by an overwhelming cascade of memories, light, and raw sensation.
Scenes from his past—familiar faces, moments of joy, flashes of sorrow—raced past him in a blur, too swift to hold onto, too fleeting to fully grasp. The corridors of his mind became a tempest of recollections, spinning out of control, refusing to let him focus.
Then, the world around him changed.
The darkness that had once enveloped him was suddenly illuminated—not by any single source of light, but by an entire cosmos unfolding before his eyes. Stars ignited like celestial beacons, painting the void with a brilliance that defied comprehension. Planets, some barren, others teeming with alien life, spiraled past him at speeds his mind struggled to process.
Each world he glimpsed was an enigma, thriving ecosystems of unfathomable landscapes and strange, majestic creatures. Yet they flickered by too quickly, offering only tantalizing fragments before vanishing into the abyss.
The celestial scenery expanded further, as if reality itself was peeling away layer by layer. Vast galactic clusters stretched before him in an infinite web of existence—spirals of light, nebulae breathing in radiant hues, the slow, ancient dance of celestial bodies older than time itself.
It was… humbling.
A sense of insignificance and wonder settled over him, the enormity of the cosmos both terrifying and beautiful. This was more than just a vision. This was a revelation. A core memory that would etch itself deep into his very being, altering the way he saw existence itself.
Then—something changed.
The galaxies twisted, collapsing and converging as if guiding him toward a singular destination. The motion pulled him forward, faster, faster still—until, with a breathtaking shift, he saw it.
A planet.
At first glance, it looked like Earth. The blue oceans, the swirling clouds, the continents laid out like a map he knew by heart. But something was wrong. The more he observed, the more apparent it became—this was not his home.
(What the fuck—?)
Before the thought could fully take shape, before his mind could process what lay before him—his vision went dark.
As if something—or someone—did not want him to see what came next.
{Finalizing transformation of new dimension from old dimension.}
{BRS...Current Progress 100%}
{MSCS...Current Progress 100%}
{IOSR...Current Progress 100%}
{DDS...Current Progress 99.9%} {ERROR}
As Percy drifted through the celestial expanse, the final echoes of his cosmic odyssey reverberated within his consciousness.
"{Master will wake up momentarily…}"
The system's voice, devoid of emotion yet imbued with an undeniable weight, signaled the impending conclusion of his surreal experience. The words lingered in his mind, not as a mere statement, but as an irrevocable decree.
Everything he had witnessed—the rapid-fire cascade of memories, the luminous constellations burning across infinity, the alien worlds teeming with mysteries beyond comprehension—was more than just a fleeting dream. It was an experience that transcended mere perception.
Was it a vision? A simulation? A test?
The truth remained elusive, but one thing was certain—this was deliberate.
The system had orchestrated this journey, guiding him through the labyrinth of his own mind, exposing him to a reality that dwarfed his understanding. Perhaps it was meant to prepare him, to shatter any lingering doubts about the world he now found himself in.
And then, as swiftly as it had begun—it ended.
A vast, consuming darkness descended, swallowing everything. The boundless cosmos that had once stretched before him vanished into the void.
Silence. Emptiness. Stillness.
This abyss was neither warm nor cold, neither suffocating nor freeing—it simply was. A void of transition, the brief moment between the infinite and the finite.
Percy did not struggle against it.
He understood.
He was waking up.
