After I say that vision turns black, and I find myself on the ground. And now I can see things thankfully. I was getting tired of everything being blurry. I let out a sigh.
I open my eyes and see a red sky and think 'An unfamiliar sky'.
'No shit it is unfamiliar, 9395' a voice in my head says causing me to jump out of reflex. 'Ha-ha that never gets old, I just thought I would say that your system has a welcoming package in its inventory as a 'till next time' present. So, tata 9395.' The entity says with a gleeful voice.
That guy must be one of the weirdest people I have met. Well, I should check my surroundings for anything hostile. Then I can check whatever this 'Welcoming package' of his is.
I look around and see a lot of what looks like… is this pure gold wheat? This must be a type of meadow that grows gold in the shape of wheat. It seems like money is literally grown on this planet. How convenient for them. I continue looking around and see a lone tree in the middle of this gold wheat that seems at least 100 feet tall in the shape of a bonsai tree. It has pink leaves with light blue bark. What the hell is wrong with this world's coloring! At the very least the coast looks clear. I guess I will head over to the tree and sit under it to get out of the sun.
I stand up and almost fall over. The hell, why do I feel so… tall. I look down and see that my feet are in the shape of hooves… seriously. Then I notice that my skin is blood red. Hmm, interesting this is fracking interesting. When I finally balance myself standing up, I feel something is attached to my back. It feels natural like an extension of myself. I twitch my neck enough to notice two massive bat-like wings. "Hahaha… ah, I am going to die in some crusader more than likely," I said self-deprecatingly.
I start walking over to the tree slowly getting used to this body. I seem buffer than in my past life. Like a lot buffer than before. Maybe it has to do with whatever race or species I am. When I finally reach the tree, I sit back down. I lean back against the tree "Hah, that was harder than I thought it was going to be."
"Ok let us start… hmm how do I open it?" I think for a moment then I say "Status." Then a light blue screen pops up about a foot in front of me.

"Yep, like I thought a very game-like system. Makes me wonder if this thing has an ios or something powering it. People who don't wonder about this when they get one in a manga or novel is strange." I say out loud even though no one can hear me. Though, it is probably because no one can hear me that I am saying something so confrontational… sigh. "So, I am a demon ogre, huh? I can assume that is why my body is this way." I look at my body, seems legit. Anyway, let us check out this package.
I click the inventory tab to open it.
[Inventory: 1- Welcoming Package]
I then click on the package to open it I assume.
[Ding! You have acquired (Voice of Oblivion) weapon.]
[Ding! You have acquired (Gift of Shadows) armor set.]
[Ding! You have acquired (The Forsaken Whisper) ring.]
[Ding! You have acquired three (Free Summon Tickets).]
[Items have been sent to your inventory.]
"Well, how about that." It seems like the package had some stuff in it. I wonder if they're any good. Guess I will have to see if I can see their information in my inventory.
I reopen my inventory
[Inventory: 1 - (Voice of Oblivion)
1- (Gift of Shadows)
1- (The Forsaken Whisper)
3- (Free Summon Tickets)
100 Platinum Coins]
I then click on the weapon Voice of Oblivion.
[(Voice of Oblivion: A scythe that was made by the best blacksmith known to man in the past. Around 60 million years ago. Though no one remembers his real name anymore just his pseudonym Ferrarius that he has engraved on every single one of his works. It has been used in many wars over the ages. I have been witnessed that this scythe can cut through anything.
+100 in Strength if equipped
+100 in Intellect if equipped
Ability: Sever - severs any being from the plain of existence living or otherwise.)]
Oh dang, this seems pretty good. I pull out the scythe and marvel at its beauty then notice where it is engraved. Seems like this can be trusted so far. I then click on Gift of Shadows which is a set of armor and not just one thing apparently.
[(Gift of Shadows: A robe with plate gauntlets and plate pauldrons with engravings on them in some foreign language. The armor set gives off a feeling of superiority to anyone who wants to try them on and if you don't pass its test your soul will be sucked out and consumed to strengthen them.
+100 in Agility if equipped
+50 in Constitution if equipped
Ability: Shadow Warp - Gives the wearer the ability to teleport to anywhere within shadows in their sight.
Passive Ability: Gives the wearer the choice to cover their presence at will. This prevents most spells or other methods from finding the wearer but not all. If a higher entity wanted to find you it would.)]
Alright then. It seems like this package has given me some overpowered items to get started conquering the world. I click on The Forsaken Whisper ring.
[(The Forsaken Whisper: The ring was forged and fitted with the best materials for the last demon monarch 60,000 years ago. By a higher entity that took a liking to the monarch. It is said that the ring connects two being's consciousness at their heartfelt consent. They would be able to communicate with each other with ease no matter their distance.
+200 in Intellect if worn
+100 in Constitution if worn
Ability: Mind Connection – Gives the wearer the option to connect two people's minds to communicate through infinite distances. But at the heartfelt consent of the other mind.
Passive Ability: Immunity to mind control – The wearer has immunity to mind control and their mind is not as easy to break as normal people.)]
Seems useful if I get a trustworthy right-handed man or woman. Hmm, I assume this Platinum Coin is some sort of currency. I click on Platinum coin next.
[(Platinum coin: A coin made of pure Platinum metal. Usually signifies wealthy individuals or companies in the world of Vinillia. It is higher than Gold in worth but can't compare to the Exalted Coin that only Emperor and Kings have.)]
'Seems like the money system in this world is not stable. I will have to change that down the line. Especially if you can just find gold like this.' I grab a hand full of golden wheat. 'Let's see about these summoning tickets I have gotten.' I click on the summoning tickets.
[Would you like to use Summoning ticket?]
[Y/N?]
I press yes.
[Commencing summoning now…..]
Then a light blue transparent roulette wheel pops up in front of me with a lot of names on it and starts to spin. After a few seconds, it stops on a section that says FORG.
[Ding! You have acquired a detachment from FORG.
FORG items and personnel from their world have been added to the store.]
Oh neat, I liked that game when I was still back on Earth. They seem appropriate for this type of environment. Just then dark red light started coming from the ground a few yards in front of me and people walked out from within the light and started to line up in a box at attention. Then what seemed like a team leader stepped in front and kneeled then the rest followed.
"Your majesty, it is good to see you are well. I am Captain Armen Stukov at your service." said the rather burly fellow with a bushy brown beard.
"Hmm, good, how many strong are you?" I spoke.
"There are roughly 40 of us, your majesty."
"Alright, have some of your men go around and do some recon, if possible, I want the whole area within a 5 km area to be mapped. Also, be cautious. There may be indigenous lifeforms that are hostile that you all are not used to. Then have the rest set up a camp around this tree, this is going to be our home base on this continent. I want this place functional within a week." I said rather straightforward.
"Yes, thank you, your majesty. It will be done right away." Said Armen. Then he got up with the rest of them getting up and started to move right away without having to be told.
'Seems like a reliable lot for the time being. Since I got them then it means I can summon pretty much anything through this summoning part of the system.' I thought. Then I looked at the other two summoning tickets. 'I'll use the rest of them no use holding on to them if I want to get started with my mission right away.'
I click the remaining two tickets and use them. The wheel shows up again and starts to spin. While it was spinning, I look at the guys in front of me and it seems they can't see the system. That is good, I guess.
[Ding! You have acquired a Void bundle. Items and personnel from the void have been added to the store.]
[Ding! You have acquired the god, Athena. Items from the Greek mythos have been added to the store.]
'Okay, these tickets seem rigged at this point.' I thought helplessly while laughing manically. Which in turn caught the attention of the soldiers.
"Is his majesty, okay?" whispered one of them to another with the other having a panicked expression and replying in a hushed tone. "Are you insane?!? What if he hears us?" They both glance over at me slightly cowering. Then they noticed I am staring right at them with a smile on my face thinking what the H is wrong with them asking if I am, okay? Both have shivers running up their spines and kneel begging for forgiveness then hurriedly jogging away. And I have a face as if asking what just happened.
"They must be overwhelmed by your great power, your majesty." Said a rather feminine voice that was nice to the ear. I turn and see Athena standing beside me looking at the two soldiers in the distance making their way away at a fast pace.
"What great power?" I asked confused. She then looked at me with a confused look of her own.
"You are releasing a type of power akin to us Greek gods. And you say you didn't know you were doing it?" she asked.
"Nope. I am just as confused as you in this matter. I just arrived in this world a few hours ago." She then looks like she is lost in thought. Hmm, I need to learn to control whatever this power is fast or else I will scare my soldiers off before they have been useful to me. I see what looks like 100 Void Marines, 50 Void Tech-Gurus, and 10,000 Void Shock Troopers kneeling without saying a word behind me. They seem like nice people. 'Not menacing at all,' I mused in my head. "Rise, my children," I say finally after internally laughing at myself. They rise almost immediately. Nice, they are just as they are said to be very obedient like a loyal dog. "Arcadians, this here is Athena she is to be my Heart in the days to come. She is also your Matriarch now. My Right-Hand shall be Armen." She snaps out of her thoughts and looks at me.
"Your majesty, are you sure?" She asked
"Why not? You are more than likely as strong or stronger than their previous Patriarch anyways. Besides, from now on you are going to be the captain of my royal guard."
She then bows and says, "I apologize, as you command your majesty."
"Ok, go work with Captain Armen to set up 24/7 security around the camp. Which shouldn't be a problem for you boys." I said looking at the Arcadians.
"Yes, your majesty!" Yelled the Arcadians in unison.
"For you, Void Tech-Gurus do what you do best," I said rather straightforward.
"Right away, your majesty." They said respectfully.
They all walk away to get to work on different projects. I should put on this armor set. I open my system and click on my inventory tab then click on the armor set and select equip.
[Ding! You have equipped (Gift of Shadows). You are now partaking in the test to see if you are worthy of it.]
After a few minutes have passed.
[Ding! You have passed the test. You now have access to the ability Shadow Warp.]
Now I should start planning out what I need to do to get started with my conquest.
