Two hundred years ago, beings from outer space descended upon Earth, proclaiming, "Citizens of Earth, we come in the name of our God's Revelation to bring about the betterment of your future. You have a choice: join our kingdom, where we will protect you against future invaders, or remain independent and face the challenges on your own."
Upon hearing the announcement, panic gripped the hearts of the citizens of Earth. However, the United Nations council and major nations convened an emergency meeting and collectively decided not to align with any kingdom. Yet, they soon realized the gravity of their decision when, four months later, an invading fleet descended upon Earth, unleashing devastation and mass casualties. In the face of imminent destruction, a hundred heroes emerged from seclusion, determined to confront the invaders. For four days and four nights, they waged a fierce battle, ultimately repelling the invaders and saving civilization from annihilation.
Those heroes then disclosed their origins, revealing that they hailed from the era of gods. They had chosen seclusion because they found it challenging to integrate into modern society. Despite their reluctance, they could not stand idly by as Earth faced its darkest hour.
Due to the world nations' missteps, the heroes concluded that seclusion was not the answer, but rather intervention was necessary. They set out to dismantle the existing system and establish a new order, one characterized by equal opportunities for all. Thus, new societies arose: the Ming Dynasty, ruled by four heroes, emerged in China; Aryavart, governed by ten heroes, rose in India; the Middle East saw the emergence of an empire led by one hero; Egypt witnessed the rise of the Egyptian empire, ruled by eight heroes; Europe experienced the emergence of ten empires collectively governed by fifty heroes; the Russian Federation empire, led by seven heroes, took shape in Russia; and in the USA, eight families ruled under the guidance of eight heroes. Meanwhile, in Japan, two royal families, guided by two heroes, emerged. Though these heroes eventually stepped back, leaving their families to manage affairs, they instilled a crucial principle: never to discriminate against common people.
The heroes, having triumphed in battle, were presented with advanced technology as a gift, a gesture tinged with the implicit threat of its potential. Among these advancements was the virtual machine, a tool that greatly enhanced their abilities and facilitated their quest for power. Moreover, it granted them access to a vast virtual world, parallel to their own reality but on a grander scale. Within this virtual realm, they could acquire resources and capabilities, which could then be manifested in the physical world through a sophisticated delivery system. Thus, the virtual world became an integral part of their existence, enabling further advancements and augmenting their influence on a global scale.
After extensive research, scholars began to unravel the true purpose of the virtual world. It was discovered that this realm mirrored their own world in many ways, yet with a crucial difference: death within the virtual world did not result in physical demise, but rather had a profound impact on the soul. Repeated deaths in the virtual world gradually depleted one's spiritual energy, lowering their level. If an individual's level reached zero, they faced a dire consequence: five more deaths would lead to permanent death, sealing their fate.
Moreover, access to the virtual world became accessible to all beings through a special bracelet, capable of opening portals to this alternate reality. With this revelation, the era of the virtual world dawned upon civilization, opening new avenues for exploration, adventure, and peril.
Now back to the story.
8 years later after the birth of Aiden (year 2347)
In a vast, spacious room dominated by a double king-size bed, Aiden slowly awakens from his slumber, a bright smile gracing his lips. With anticipation coursing through his veins, he rises from the bed and makes his way to the bathroom, eager to freshen up. Today marks a significant milestone for Aiden—it's the day he'll log into the virtual world for the very first time and his age of awakening ceremony.
He exchanged his night outfit for casual attire and descended to the dining room, where his mother, grandfather, uncle, and a family of two – including his wife, daughter Luis – awaited him to commence breakfast.
Aiden enters dining room and went there greeted everyone
Aiden with a smile "Good morning mom, grandfather, uncle, aunty, Luis"
They all said with a smile on their family "Good morning, dear Aiden "
Selene gestured for Aiden to sit beside her, and he complied, taking the seat she indicated.
While they were eating, Aiden opened the system panel to check his status menu. He named the system "Serena" because constantly saying OmniSystem didn't feel right, so he decided to give it a nickname.

Seeing his wealth and strength Aiden nodded his head in satisfaction. For MP and MANA it will activate after age of ceremony which is today as for Class it will be given in virtual world so he is not panicking about it.
While Aiden checking his stats his grandfather suddenly said with a happy tone.
"Tonight, your coming-of-age ceremony will commence, and my father will personally oversee it. Be prepared, as other guests, including your great-grandmother and families of other heroes, will be present. Don't worry if you don't perform perfectly during the ceremony; you will always be my cherished grandchild." Ezekiel said with a smile.
"Yes, father is right so don't be nervous we are always with you " Selene said with a gentle tone.
"All the best Aiden" his uncle and aunt said with smile.
"Aiden be prepare let see if you awaken more power than me in awakening ceremony if you do I have a gift your you" Lisa said while giggling.
Aiden felt a sense of solitude because in his past life, his great-grandfather was absent during his awakening ceremony. This absence led to a tragic event where assassins took advantage and killed all his family members, preventing him from awakening his bloodline.
Aiden thought 'With both the great-grandfather and great-grandmother present, the chances of assassination would be virtually zero. They are both heroes capable of single-handedly facing down a nation. Anyone attempting an assassination would find their efforts swiftly and decisively thwarted.'
Now, Aiden feels more reassured that the tragic events of his past life will not repeat themselves in his new life.
So he thank them for the encouragement and started eating.
After breakfast, Aiden went to his room to complete his daily quest, which involved exercising.
