How did it come to this, where did I go wrong. I mean I know I'm treated and considered as useless garbage by society, but to think someone would kill me over a simple misunderstanding that could have been cleared up by simply talking to me about it. I didn't even know a girl had a crush on me. Not only did this girl have a crush on me but she is even the most powerful genius summoner in General Highschool. Many people chased her, but I never had the thought or want. I have no powers I was given nothing upon birth besides pain and suffering. My mom died during childbirth and my father tried his best to care for me even though I have no Powers. His greatest pride was me because not only did I not have any powers at all, but I still tried my best to pass school and get perfect grades. He sadly passed away shortly after I started my second year of General Highschool from a brain tumor that formed due to extreme stress. Now I live on my own in a rundown apartment in the outskirts of the city. Oh well, I'm going to die soon so I guess reminiscing won't do me any good. Still as I look up, I still can't help but look back and wonder why. Why did he of all people do this. If you don't know who I'm talking about its naturally my best friend ever. He is also powerless but comes from a more well off family. We hit it off on the first day. Both of us being powerless formed what I thought to be an unbreakable bond between us, how wrong I was. As I look at his face which if you wish to know is an 8/10 in handsomest meter, while I am a 10/10. Which to be far was always a sore spot for him. If I recall correctly, he also had a crush on the number one school genius summoner. What was her name again, it seems my impending death has scrambled up my memory... Ah that's her name Bella. Now that I look back, I remember saying I'll help him score her for his first girlfriend if he does the same with the girl, I had a crush on. Although that was before I was humiliated by my crush in the cafeteria in front of the whole school on video no less. It seems when word reached my friend's ears that Bella had a crush on me, I assume he may have thought I stole her from him after my humiliation. Still to not even talk to me about it but just straight up murder me. I still don't understand at all why he did this and as I look into his eyes I see jealousy, a tiny bit of hatred, and... what was that I swore I just saw a massive amount of sadness for a split second. Before I could think further, I noticed a literal back breaking pain on my back. I could then feel as my entire body starts to become paste for a second before I black out.
As I drifted around, I suddenly feel a draft like the ones you feel in a cave. As I sat up, I realized I can move. I instantly looked at my body and noticed that I have a body but it's just transparent, almost illusionary looking.
"You're in your soul form, so don't look to amazed"
I heard a voice coming from my left and saw a man in what looks to be a black trench coat with bits of armor along his chest, shoulders, arms, and legs. He also has a black metallic looking mask with glowing eyes with a black hood on sitting in a brown leather armchair. As I started to make my way over there, I realized I wasn't actually walking rather floating there. When I got to where he was a black leather armchair appeared across from him and he gestures for me to sit down. As I sat down, I noticed that the man Eyes on his mask went from glowing yellow to neon blue and he started to what I would call size me up, but I learned right after that he was just analyzing my soul.
"What are you doing?"
"Looking"
"At what?
"Your soul"
"Why"
"Because I want to know why My Death Realm pulled you in here"
"Wait so I'm not supposed to be here"
"No, you're not, but I'm not complaining since your soul is extremely special."
"My soul is special?"
"Yes, it is"
This mysterious man then explained to me that my soul is special because it is what is called an origin soul, an extremely special and rare soul that is a soul that has not experienced any sort of form of reincarnation or transmigration. As i continued to ask questions like "What is a Death realm and why was I brought here?" He explained it all slowly as if this information must stick or something. Eventually I asked my last and most important question to me " Can I leave this place and return to Earth?" The man told me sadly that in order for me to leave and return I would either have to reincarnate back to earth and lose all my memories and my special soul or somehow make a new body and return to Earth. As I sat there limply saddened at the prospect of never being able to return to Earth without losing something, I suddenly had a Hopeful thought 'If this man is so powerful that he can create a Death Realm which requires the power level of the Universe couldn't he make me a new body. As I had that thought I decided to try it. I asked him if he could make me a new body. After I said that he looked at me as if he didn't expect me to ask that.
"You do know that if I make you a body then your soul will have to be changed so that the vessel, I make will work for you"
To be honest I forgot that he said that. I guess I got so wrapped up in my excitement that I forgot he told me that every person that has the power to make a new body will have that body be specific to their soul type as normally when someone makes a new body its usually for themselves. I immediately started to weigh the pros and cons.
On one hand having a new soul might not be the worst idea as I will lose it anyway once I'm forced to reincarnate and having a new body and soul made by a powerful being means a lot of power. On the other hand, I don't know how changing my soul will affect me it could kill me or change me personally and making a new body could be dangerous as I don't know how the body will work or if it has some unknown effect. After about an hour of thinking I made my answer.
"I want a new body to go back to Earth if I have to change my soul then so be it!"
The man looked at me for a second and then said "Alright your choice"
After he said that he snapped his fingers and I immediately fell out of my chair and was convulsing on the ground in extreme pain as I saw a weird Shadow like fog wrap around me while a buttload of new information entered my mind. After an unknown amount of time, I woke up in what looked like a small little cabin house. Once my eyes were open, I heard the man's voice talking in my head.
"Welcome to your new body Max, you are currently in a small cabin in another world a world of swords and magic!"
"What! I thought I was going back to Earth?"
"You were but I decided that in exchange for me giving you a new body and soul, which mind you took a lot of energy out of me. You will do something for me. This world has never had a united people or Kingdoms before and so as your training for the task I want you to do, I task you with becoming the number one powerhouse on this planet."
After he explained to me why I was here instead of Earth, he told me to get used to my new body and powers. I got up off the bed and explored the cabin finally stopping at a mirror looking at my new body. If my original body was a 10/10 than this new body is a 30/10. My original body was skinny and tall with an extremley good jawline, small nose. sharp eyebrows, long black hair, and deep green eyes, not much muscle more of a feminin figure, and extremely fair and smooth pale skin. This new body has all my original facial features except the color of my eyes and hair x10. My eyes are now a deep violet and my hair is a deep silver color. My body is now more lean and muscular than skinny and stick like. My height stays the same 6'4 and my little brother is quite long as well. After I finished looking at the cabin and my body, I asked the man in my head whats his name because I was getting tired of calling him "the man". He said his name is Shadow. Before I left the cabin Shadow told me something important.
"Just so you know you will have to kill humans it's unavoidable."
"I know, I just hope it won't change me to much"
"It will, war has a habit of doing that"
As i made my way out of the forest that the cabin was in Shadow told me that i was given advanced knowledge of Magic and swordfighting so that I don't take to long accomplishing the task.
As I walked through the forest I went over the knowledge given to me of the levels and types of powers on this planet and Earth.
Known Powers
Summoner: Has the ability to summon a familiar or beast and form a contract, however the contract must be beneficial to both sides.
Brawler: A fist-based power a Brawler is unmatched in strength besides a Beast King. They have the ability to enter a rage state that just makes them immune to pain for a little while.
Mage: A mage has the ability to cast spells using mana. Mages have the ability to cast spells ranging in power of a small grenade to standard artillery. If a mage drains himself of too much mana, then the Mage will be incapacitated.
Knight: A knight is nothing without his weapon, all knights specialize in a specific type of weapon and will only use that weapon in battle and knights have the ability to cast buffs on their physical body if they even bother to learn.
Ranger: A ranger can use anything that can be used at a distance be it a bow or gun or a slingshot. They are generally weak in physical combat and will engage in close combat if there is no other choice.
Healer: A healer has no combat strength whatsoever in fact their bodies are noticeably more fragile than a normal human body. This is because a healer almost always has a bigger soul than a normal person causing a greater toll on the body. Healers are incapable of bringing someone back from the dead, as well as being incapable of saving someone who has been mortally wounded.
Priest: Priests are the only power that can use holy magic and are generally very well respected. Most of the time it is priest's that are the ones holding power awakening ceremonies. Priests also have the ability to heal wounds but only if those wounds are infested with dark energy.
Unknown Powers
Shape shifter: Shape shifters have the ability to change into any living being they wish. however, if the thing the Shape shifter wishes to turn into is above The Shape shifters power level their power will be significantly weaker than the being they are. Shape Shifters are also incapable of turning into something that has a smaller mass than his or her own.
Copycat: Copycats have ability to copy any powers within their power level for a limited time of 1 hour they're incapable of copying a power above their power level. Depending on the power level of the Copycat compared to the being whose power he or she is copying they may be able to fundamentally change the effect of the power they copied.
Absorber: Absorbers can absorb and fire back the same amount of force they absorbed at the opponent. Although if the power level of the attack is higher than the Absorbers power level then they can't absorb it and any attack to the soul or mind cannot be absorbed by an absorber as it does not concern the body. Absorbers can also change the amount of force they fire back depending on the level of control he or she has over their power.
Assimilator: An Assimilator can take anything they find and assimilate it into their body however something's don't go well together, and an Assimilator is incapable of removing what they have taken and should things not merge well together it could be fatal to the Assimilator. They also can combine what they have assimilated into one body part freeing the spot for another part. Both parts obviously must be compatible, or the Assimilator may die or be seriously wounded.
Beast King: A Beast King is what would happen if you were to merge a Brawler and a Shape shifter. basically, just put these to powers together and you get a Beast King. a beast king also has 2 unique abilities that only a Beast King may use. A Beast King can Shapeshift into a beast that has more mass than he or she has. He or she can also intimidate any beast weaker than him or her, sometimes if their lucky may even be able to make the beast become their servant. Beast Kings also have a upgraded rage state as well. Their rage state makes them immune to pain but also doubles their strength and vitality.
Holy Knight: A Holy knight is a Knight who can use Holy magic as well as train in a specific weapon and instead of being able to caste buffs they can caste holy magic. Their Holy magic is not as powerful as an Archpriest but is more powerful than a regular priest. They also have the ability to create a holy weapon using their soul power once they hit a certain power level.
Archpriest: An Archpriest is basically an upgraded version of the Priest. They have the ability to summon angels and can even use necromancy but that requires them to become half-light and half dark not something most Archpriests may find useful.
Archimage: An Archimage is once again basically an upgraded version of a Mage. Their magic power can let them use spells ranging in power of bunker busting bombs to hydrogen nuclear missiles, just without the radiation. They also can now command familiars or they can create them if their power level reaches to a certain point.
God Summoner: Now God Summoners are the most powerful power on Earth, not only do they have the powers of a Shape shifter, a Copycat, and a summoner and Assimilator but unlike a Copycat, summoner, or an Assimilator, they don't have to assimilate everything instead they can pick a specific part and they also don't have a time limit on how long they can use others powers and also unlike a summoner as long as your power level is above your summons you don't need to make a mutually beneficial contract you can just force them however it's better to try the first option first for favorability points because summons are not mindless beasts they have their own feelings and emotions, they won't enjoy you being rude. All these extra abilities for the God Summoner only work for your summons.
Dead Eye: A Dead Eye is an upgraded Ranger that can use the ability of mind enhancing buffs to aid in combat. normal Rangers are incapable of using these buffs. Dead eyes also have the ability to use weapons that normally may have a lot of recoil but when using them have no recoil.

The other planets ranks
Knight ranks
Apprentice Rank
Knight Rank
Elite Knight Rank(First rank to be able to use Martial energy)
Silver Knight Rank(where Max is currently in the forest)

4th circle/Silver Mage(The rank Max is at currently in the forest)
5th circle/Gold Mage
6th circle/Platnium Mage
7th circle/Diamond Mage
As I looked at the rankings and what their called in my head, I found it intersting that Knights call Mages similiar to what their called while Mages rankings are just 1st to 7th circle and each rank in both the mage and knight systems are equal in strength to their knight or mage equivalents. I then thought that this task may not be as bad I thought. It might even be really fun.
As I was just about to leave the forest, Shadow told me that if I make any sort of companions during my training that I can bring them with me when I return to Earth. As he finished saying that I heard a scream down the road and knew that I just found my first companion.
