Chapter 1 - Work’s Boring

Lux is a middle aged man that works in a company known as the Real business. The real business is a type of company where they run a legitimate company by day but, perform cultist operations by night. Lux was part of the people who work during the day and leave before it's night.

As he was doing his work his cooperate boss (mey) came in and told him to sort out some documents and hand it over to her before the meeting at night. Lux respectfully nodded and and collected it then, she said that if he does not do it he will be fired.

Lux in fear of loosing his job, since, he has no other means of livelihood gets some coffee and begins to work vigorously on the task at hand. Lux eventually falls asleep after completing his work then, an alarm begins to ring alerting all members of the organisation both day and night to report to the meeting and that the boss will be waiting.

Everyone was anxious since the boss only ever showed up twice every three months which meant that everytime he ever shows up he meant serious business. Everyone in the business began to run for thier lives but, Lux was still Submitting the documents. The meeting was about to start when Lux sped up and managed to join the meeting.

The Boss then smiled broadly with a slight smug on his face and then he asked them whether they caught wind on why he called them. They all said no! He said that there has been a fluctuation in the revenue the business is getting as a result of a snitch.

He then says that the police shut down one of their other branches and they lost lots of money. But, he said that a man from their company was the snitch and he was caught and will face utter punishment. A man is then seen hanging on a wooden board that looks like that of a roulette board but, has no probability options on it. The boss then carries his blood and takes it to the shrine as says, that is happens when you betray the cult. The blood then begins to glow then disintegrate. The man then begins to brutally burn in the ashes as the boss laughs menacingly.

With that rounded up the boss then says that because of that, for his sin Everyone must present a sacrifice of a full human being alive or dead before midnight OR they will meet the same fate as the traitor. All of them begin to run to find a victim to kill.

Lux is very confused since he is a day worker and never does those kind of stuff. Meanwhile most people are finding it easy to kill someone and take them back.

In all the carnage Lux was walking till he saw an alley with a little girl inside. The little girl was shaking in fear as Lux asked her what her name was. She hesitantly said that her name was Edris Aligma and she was looking for her parents. Lux did not want to ask her anymore questions, he just wanted to kill her then and there but, as tears rushed down her eyes the will of Lux slowly crumbled and disappeared. Lux then offered her to help her find her parents. She then looked at him with a smile then hugged him and said thank you mister. Lux then said that it was no problem.

Lux then walked along side the girl while retracing the girls steps until, they reach the bus station where she lost her parents. Then both of them began to shout while calling her parents names. Eventually, her parents saw her and rushed over to hug her. They let out a warm embrace and began to ask about her welfare. Edris then mentions how it waw lux that helped her to find them.

Edris' mom then sincerely thanks Lux and he felt happy and left to an alley way near the bus station then, he stops the fake smiles and unveils the fisade in which he has been was hiding after remembering what he was supposed to do and that he had only 10 minutes left.

As Lux was contemplating his life choices, standing on a building was Mey his cooperate boss who had been watching him In disdain for the decisions he chose. She then says that since he had plans to end her life she might as well just kill him for the fun of it. She then jumped of the building with elegance and grace before she began to attack lux with the two long blades she was using.

Lux only had a dagger which he got when one man dropped it as they were running out of the company. Lux then began to skillfully block and dodge her attacks while inflicting small bits of damage to her.

she then gets angry and resorts to using her her chain blades and grabs lux's leg which offsets his balance and makes him to float in the air. He then managed to land safely then, he grabs the chain and pulls her before slashing her with his Dagger.

After he does that one of her swords fly out of her hands and lux grabs it to finish her. As Lux is coming closer the clock is counting down from 10 and he is about to stab her while saying all the things that he hated about her and how much he wanted to kill her. He said that she always overworked him, Insulted him and generally disliked him . Lastly, he said that at least if he is going to die she will die with him.

As Lux was about to kill her he stabbed the sword on the floor and could not bring himself to kill her. She then said that it was just as she expected them she used the sword and slashed him as the timer was on one.

Lux died and was feeling some sort of presence. He saw himself quickly falling into dark until, he almost reached the bottom and opened his eyes to see he was afraid and breathing heavily.

Lux saw himself in the presence of the eight gods that rule over the universe;

1.Solemn Atrice: Ģod of Life

2.Gabriella cellia: Ģoddess of Protection

3.Sern Lorn: Ģod of magic

4.Grim reaper: Ģod of Death

5.Saandra alez : Ģoddess of nature

6.Celestia Varlus: Ģoddess of beauty

7.Dralon reinor: Ģod of combat

8.Eriza sen: Ģoddess of oracles

Solemn Atrice said that all the Ģods have come together to make a decision on his behalf. He said that it is true that he lived a sad painfilled life with mo family no real friends and no true motivation to live but, instead of sacrificing that poor girl he helped in her time of need and died as a result.

So the Ģods came together to offer him up a proposition giving him 2 choices;

1. He will go to a place known as lethro wear angels and saints stay.

OR

2. He will be Reincarnated into another world with blessings of all Ģods but, have no memory of his past life and have 415 stat points plus 185 Skill points.

Lux chose the second option and all the Ģods stretched thier hands towards Lux and said the words Begone Mortal. He then vanished and was sent like a beam of light to the new world known as EROTH!

Lux transcended down like a beam of light and crash lands in Eroth. Lux Lands on the floor when he noticed that he still had his memories of his past. He was confused and freaked out but, calmed down when he notices a book on the floor beside him. when he touched the book his name began to engrave on the book as he looked in awe. The book then began to glow which made Lux drop it then the pages began to open on their own and stopped on a page that told showed him how to access his stats.

Lux was so eager to test out his abilities so he went deeper into the forest to look for something to fight. He saw a beast that looked like a zombie but, had slightly more blueish skin. He began to test out each of his abilities one by one until he ran out of Energy points which are used to perform a skill.

After Lux was done he sat down only only to see he had a 100 stat points and 70 Skill points. Lux was so tired so he decided to take a nap. when he took the nap, he was woken up by cries for help coming from the forest. He then quickly rushed along with the slime while tracking down the source of the voice.

He finally found the origin then and saw a red haired girl being attacked by by a gigantic spider. Lux uses his Clairvoyance ability to see it's stats but could only see much since his Clairvoyance is still weak. He saw it's Specie which was a Node spider which is just a basic white and purple spider that has strong venom. Lux is about to fight it when the slime goes and absorbs the spider. Lux was in shock that a mere slime would poses so much so much power.

He then rushes over to where the girl is and she says that her name is Emily and she was sent by Lady

Lucia and Emperial lady of Alioth school magic to retrieve a boy that goes by the name of Lux Dreamfield. Lux says that it is him then Emily Escorts him to the Aloith school of magic. As they are going they are stopped by baby Wyvern. Lux uses his cloak ability to hide himself and Emily so that he can escape from the situation. As they were going Lux steps on a stick and the Wyvern sees them and they both run away.

As they were running Emily began to get tired and Lux carries her on his shoulder and continues until, they finally reach the Alioth school of magic where an arrow shoots the Wyvern.
