Tony was sitting down behind his keyboard typing away on his maths homework when an ominous feeling overwhelmed him. He turned around to check his surroundings to find a floating black cloth in the middle of the room. He jumped up from his chair in a panic, ran to the bathroom, and smacked his face repeatedly until he was sure he was awake…
What the fuck was that? He asked himself in the mirror. He slowly turned around and walked towards the bathroom door peeking his head around the corner only to still see the black cloth still floating…..
He turned around again, walked over to his bottle of cologne, picked it up, And grabbed a lighter off the floor. "I'm going to burn this fucking thing," he thought as he turned the corner and started spraying cologne all over while also striking his lighter VWOOOM the fire spewed everywhere engulfing the black cloth that was floating in the center of the room. After passing by the black cloth it also caught his bed on fire. However, in the middle of all of this tony noticed, the Black cloth was still floating in the center of his room but it now was facing him and had words on it ( Flame Challenger Detected Obsidian Key Accepted ) Before even realising what had happened or what was going on, he fell unconscious, landing on his burning ablaze bed…..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a vast dark expanse floated a soul being strung along by a thin fine woven black cloth
this soul was Tony's
"Where am I? What is this place?" he said while looking around
At this moment Tony looked down up all around only to see nothing but darkness well and--
"Ahh for fuck sake this black cloth is still here" Tony said after noticing the black cloth he tried to reach out to it only to realize he had no hands or arms " WHERE ARE MY ARMS AND MY HANDS WAIT MY LEGS MY BODY" At this time a large amount of memories appeared in his mind "Holy cow" His soul started trembling "im really dead I remember falling unconscious after lighting my apartment on fire" He thought as he eased up and relaxed a little bit "There really is a afterlife if im still here right?" with these thoughts in his mind he calmed down a little bit however as time passed he grew more and more worried his soul was just blindly following this Black cloth but his hopes were not yet diminished as this black cloth was heading towards a red star floating in this Abyss
As he got closer and closer to the red star he realised it wasn't actually a star at all it was a floating Tower like object that was cylindrical and was around 300 km tall as he reached 100km he could see large claw marks and all sorts of bones integrated into the walls of the tower the black cloth took him directly to the large majestic looking front doors and stopped here Tony witnessed one the coolest thing he had ever seen the Fine black cloth floated over to the keyhole of the large door while slowly burning up in a red and black fire that was so hot he could feel it melting his soul after the fire ended all that was left was a obsidian looking key that slid perfectly into the keyhole and unlocked the door....
As the door was opening a light gravitational pull followed and as Tony's soul was floating out front he naturally got pulled into the tower. As he entered the tower he could see a dark greyish looking floor black granite walls with lava trickling down the side and in the middle of the room was a red staircase seemingly never ending which was weird as when Tony was getting dragged towards the tower he only remembered to be about 300 Ft tall. **You are a challenger?** Tony heard a deep voice echo throughout the tower walls? Tony who was but a soul could not respond **Humph a mere human soul ha---** Tony heard the deep voice suddenly stop "**Who brought you here?** The deep voice asked
Tony who naturally couldn't respond was all of a sudden transformed and dropped on to the concrete floor in his original human body " Cough cough Ow that hurt" Tony managed to say after falling nearly 3 stories "Couldn't have just set me down nicely" He joked ** Silence** The deep voice echoed ** A mere rotten human wants to challenge the world of Exios ** Tony heard the deep voice say " Wait wait! Your highness Sir? I do not want to challenge any world? I was just laying around at home doing homework when your stupid cloth key thing took me here"" ** SILENCE YOU DARE TO CALL THE OBSIDIAN KEY ONE OF THE 7 LEGENDARY KEYS A STUPID CLOTH LISTEN HERE LITTLE HUMAN Cough cough Ahem ahem, I do not know why the key choose you but it did you will be the first Obsidian keyed Ruler to enter Exios I the Collector will make sure of this but first your human body must be shed..**
Tony who was quivering in fear after hearing that last part gulped...
**I will explain to you what the obsidian key grants and all the other 6 keys names but for now each key holds different respect for different aspects and abilities of your mind the obsidian key which is what brought you here is the Key of Obsidian it grants users**
(50x Strength multiplier) no matter what,
(Max proficiency in any Fire Spells) or really anything to do with fire
(Fire Resistant) no matter if its a campfire or a Lava pit you will never melt or burn
(Fire spirit organs) Offers Fiery Teleportation skill
**And then finally when you reincarnate to challenge Exios you can pick from 3 Starting races given from the Obsidian Key**
3 Starting races
ORC
orcs are a tribal race of hostile and bestial humanoids with muscular frames, large canine teeth and snouts rather than human-like noses
Wolf
Keen senses, large canine teeth, powerful jaws, and the ability to pursue prey at 100 km per hour equip the gray wolf well for a predatory way of life.
Goblin
Goblins are grotesque fairies that can range from dwarf height to human height. Various (sometimes conflicting) abilities and attributes have been given to them.
"Definitely can rule out the third one" Tony stated he didn't like the thought of being a Goblin and having to hunt children or small wildlife how was he supposed to challenge the world as a goblin "Hard Choice I would love to run freely as a wolf, I also wonder what kind of evolutions I could get out of a Wolf? Maybe a Holy Beast or something he thought but at the same time that was lame a mythical holy beast who people worshipped or ..... A mighty Orc steamrolling villages city's COUNTRIES ahahahhaha" Ehm tony laughed awkwardly.... " I choose the first option Orc!" Tony exclaimed ** Wise choice young Human, Orcs were one of my first creations and were based of demons to be a strong warrior society being a Orc is to be a Warrior, However hehehh** Tony heard this mystical being snicker and his hairs stood on end ** You're entering Exios! A mage's world where minds rule over muscle I wonder what an Extremely tanky Orc will do**
