"huh!?! where am I"
Bruce's vision slowly started coming back.
"Didn't I die?"
"then this must be the great beyond"
"NO IT ISN'T!! " someone said with a calm but stern voice.
"Rise oh beyonder, for the journey hasn't ended yet"
Bruce's vision slowly but completely came back. He stood up to see who was the one speaking and where he was when suddenly he noticed there were some words floating in front of his eyes covering some of his vision.
He swatted his hands around to remove those words but soon he realised that those words were imbedded in his vision and he couldn't remove them. He focused at the words
---INTEGRATING MANUAL---
--COMPLETE--
Name - Bruce Mayne
Mp - 0 +5 = 5
str - 40+5 = 45
vit - 63+5 = 68
agi - 71 +5 =76
int - 86 +5 =91
Passive - as a transmigrator 5 points are added to each stat for a head start
Bruce stumbled back in shock,
"Have I been isekai'd like in those novels I used to read". " So mp means magic points or is it mana points" Bruce scratched his head confused " so I should be able to use magic, right" Bruce couldn't believe this was happening. As a weeb he always imagined these type of situations whenever he had free time as he was mostly busy practicing.
"str means strength, ooh it's quite high, maybe the basr strength of people here is high if so then it would be quite disappointing"
"vit means Vitality and agi means agility, int means intelligence it must be a strong component when using magic but why the hell is my mp 0, isn't this a fantasy world"
"Ahem!! " someone standing a few meters away from him coughed as he was being ignored even with all the holy light radiating from his halo.
Bruce lifted his head up but as soon as the man with the brilliant light emmiting from his halo came in his vision, a chill ran down his spine as the mean had a skull with no flesh and looked like the widely famous scythe carrying grim reaper back on earth but instead of a scythe this man had a wooden staff that also brilliantly shone on holy light. His face was covered with a hood attached to the robe he was wearing. The robe had golden stripes in the hand area and in the hood and looked quite noble.
Bruce was scared at first but then after having a staredown with the man, he asked
"Who are you and Why am I here with you"
"Iam Thanatos, the God of Death"
"You died after getting shot by that human guard and so you are here"
" Right now you are in my domain that's why
your soul is still intact and you haven't been judged yet"
'Judged'!?! oh boy I am surely going to hell if I am judged" Bruce thought feeling a little scared
"Fear not oh beyonder, for you will not be judged" Thanatos said with a voice that sounded utterly mighty.
"Umm why do you keep calling me a beyonder, what the is a beyonder and what do you need from me" Bruce asked frowning
"Don't worry oh beyonder, I will bless you with the wisdom you need" Thanatos said with his bony jaw "Every 2000 years calamity spreads in this universe, I am not talking about your universe but a different one, the one where you will be sent to"
" When the universe was young, the Supreme creator didn't create the concept of being 'evil',
back then the world was prosperous and every race lived in peace "
Bruce was listening carefully
" After ages the Supreme creator created 'deities' so they would help out the mortals and he would rest "
" He created 8 main deities and some lower deities"
Brella - The Goddess of life
Yain - The God of fertility
Ion - The God of Knowledge
Indar - The God of Nature
kiora - The Goddess of wealth
Helion - The sun God
Lune - The moon Goddess
me 'Thanatos' the God of Death'
and he turned a human named 'Jashei', who was considered the wisest mortal, into the God of magic as Jashei's understanding of magic was even greater than all the other deities
"Brella The Godddess of life is responsible for the rebirth of the souls that I have judged, purified and deemed worthy. "
"Yain The God of fertility keeps the fertility of earth in check so that every race is able to farm and sustain themselves"
"Ion The God of knowledge was the wisest among all and held the knowledge of of everything and had answers to every question except one, he was responsible for the passing of wisdom and knowledge required by the mortals"
"Indar the God of nature was responsible for everything that the God had placed, created or naturally came into being no matter living or non living"
"Kiora The Goddes of wealth is responsible for the well being and wealth of every living thing"
"Helion The Sun God took care of all the sun of this universe. He decided when the sun would rise and set and makes sure that the sun doesn't get too close to burn their respective worlds or too far that the world would freeze"
"Lune The Moon God took care of the moons and made sure the nights are lit enough to see and mana is poured to the respective world in an adequate quantity"
and finally Jashei The God of Magic who made sure the concepts of magic are passed on"
" At first everything was going smoothly and every deity did their duties earnestly , but when the Supreme Creator was still resting Jashei The God of Magic who now was the strongest deity after a millenia of Magic practice without any limitations overcame with greed and had the most followers as every being wanted power. "
"He believed that he was now stronger than the Supreme creator as he was never tired even after using magic endlessly without limitations while the Supreme creator needed rest and he challenged the authority of the creator to take the universe for himself"
"With this the concept of greed and evil was created and it corrupted countless beings"
"The other deities couldn't just standby and watch all this chaos unfold, so they formed a coalition along with their followers and declared war against Jashei"
"The arrogant Jashei fought back and then finally after 2000 years of war and bloodshed Jashei was defeated but couldn't be killed as every deity was immortal and only the Supreme creator could kill them so he was sealed in a hidden place somewhere deep in this universe"
"The aftermath of the war was devastating, countless people died and most of them were corrupted and turned into demons"
" The balance of this universe was sabotaged as countless souls were disintegrated into nothing, destroying the balance of life and death".
" To balance this we, the deities, came with the idea of beyonders"
"Every 500 years we select a soul from some other universe and bring them here, but we don't take anymore soul from that universe to not destroy their balance as well"
"Every 2000 years calamity spreads as Jashei's excessive mana leaks from the deal and empowers the demons, so we bestow strength to the beyonders and bless them to fight back against the calamity and protect this universe"
"oh beyonder, I have bestowed strength upon you but your soul is from a universe without mana and isn't compatible with magic"
"Unfortunately you cannot use magic"
"But don't fret, as you are blessed by me the personification of death"
"I have noticed that you are a sword martial artist so I shall bless with the strength of an ancient dragon so that your every strike can shatter mountains, speed so fast that no one will ever see you pull your sword out of the sheath, accuracy so good that can slice a drop of blood during rainfall and reaction so fast you can escape death"
"NOW WELCOME TO GROWLENDIA THE MAGICAL UNIVERSE"
"BECOME THE STRONGEST TO PROTECT THE WEAKEST"
" I SHALL SENT YOU TO A GOOD PLACE TO START YOUR JOURNEY, DON'T BREAK OUR HOPE OH BEYONDER"
As Thanathos said these everything started shining brightly. Bruce wanted to tell him that him that he hasn't practiced any sword arts and wanted to ask some from him but was too engulfed in the story that he forgot.
"I forgot to tell you that I needed some sword ar-" he was cut short and soon found himself in a forest.
"sigh, I should have told him sooner"
Bruce stood up and walked towards the opening in front. He soon reached a man made path and started walking out of the forest, all the while checking his stats and thinking what to do next. His mind was unexpectedly calm after he was blessed by Thanatos.
"Hey you with the weird armour"
Bruce turned back and saw some people riding a big armoured mount which looked a bit lime goats with large horns but this mounts had large lizard like tails.
"me? "
"yes you dumbhead, who else"
"why are you here so deep in the Great dark forest?"
"show me your hunter ID" asked the tall burly man with a neatly shaved head and plate armour which looked like those of Mideival knights back in earth.
"Hunter ID? What? " Bruce was confused
"maybe this is what they call adventurers" he thought.
"huhh, another illegal hunter" the man sighed with his palm on his face
"come follow me to the town, we will investigate you there"
Bruce decided to follow him as he didn't know the way to any town or villages so it was pretty lucky for him to find somebody who will show him the directions.
