"Hello, everyone! I'm going to try writing chapters of about 1000 words each time. Let me know if that's enough or too little for you. I'm still a new author, so feel free to give me suggestions or tips to improve my book and writing quality. Happy reading!

"Welcome, inhabitants of the Milky Way."
As a terrible headache engulfed me, a voice, seemingly divine and distant, began to resonate with words that seemed illogical to me. Opening my eyes, I was surprised to find myself floating in the void alongside millions of silhouettes. Startled and panicked by the sensation of floating in space, I began to scream. However, when I opened my mouth, no sound came out. Turning my attention to the people around me, I noticed that no one could make a sound in this space.
The same voice began to speak again, "I am Lux, the consciousness of the Milky Way. I have summoned you, the peoples of the galaxy, to protect our galaxy and your respective species from invasion. I have collided with the Nebulae Primoria galaxy, creating a phenomenon called Bellum Galaxy. During Bellum Galaxy, a neutral zone filled with new planets is created, and the galaxy that fully claims it will absorb half of the other galaxy. To claim the neutral zone, galaxies summon a set number of inhabitants who will fight for supremacy."
As the alleged will of the Milky Way explained the reason for our presence here, I turned my head to my left neighbor, who, in my peripheral vision, seemed unusually tall. As my gaze met his, I was shocked to see a 4-meter-tall humanoid, with a smooth, white body devoid of hair or organs, just covered in skin. His face, although similar in shape to ours, was as smooth as the rest of his body, without eyes or a mouth. As I stared, slightly stunned, he turned his head toward me, and even though he had no eyes, I could feel him observing me. As we locked eyes, a shiver ran down my spine, a sense of horror and impending doom only lifted when he looked away. Once his attention was diverted, a feeling of relief washed over me, as if I had narrowly escaped death. After regaining my composure, despite the lingering fear, I risked a quick glance at the rest of the silhouettes around me. What I saw made me realize that humans were far from the only intelligent species in the galaxy. Most of the beings resembled those described in mythology and children's tales, from dragons, elves, and centaurs to giant snakes and sphinxes. I could even spot creatures resembling those in horror films like Aliens. As I observed the beings around me, the voice resumed, and I gathered my thoughts to listen to the information that would determine my future.
"You will all be randomly teleported to the newly appeared planets in the neutral zone. Each of you will be assigned a new race, territory, and assistance system formed by the will of the universe. The universe will shape your new race through a fusion of its will, chaos energy, and creation energy."
Lux paused for a few seconds before adding, "The survival of our galaxy now depends solely on you. May you reach the greatest heights and conquer the neutral zone. Until soon."
As she finished speaking, a blinding light began to invade my vision, and I lost consciousness.
Once Arthur's and the others' consciousness faded, Lux cast one last look at them before they were all surrounded by a mana bubble that propelled them, Arthur and all the others, into the infinite space toward the neutral zone. During the journey, various energies coursed through him, destroying and rebuilding his body into the form that suited him best. After some time, an increasingly large planet began to appear. Seas and continents covered the planet's surface. At first glance, it seemed to be easily ten times larger than Earth.
As Arthur's transformation finished, he entered the planet's atmosphere and headed at an indescribable speed toward the largest continent. As he got closer, a mysterious energy gradually slowed him down until he stopped a few meters above what seemed to be a vast forest. Arthur then hovered ten meters above the treetops. Some unknown energy coursing through his body began to merge with him, while the other part began to spread in the surroundings. As this energy spread, some of the trees began to disappear, forming a large clearing. After completing the clearing, the energy then began to shape four large distinct buildings. Once the four buildings were fully formed, the remaining energy disappeared, likely exhausted by the task it had just accomplished.
Arthur, still unconscious in the air and merging with the energy, began to descend into the middle of the clearing. The energy coursing through his body began its final work, as part of his body sank into the ground. His body gradually sank into the earth, spreading in all directions, while the part outside expanded more and more, reaching an impressive height of 30 meters.
Once the 30 meters were reached, the energy penetrated deeper into his body and ran through him one last time before being completely exhausted.
Several hours later, as the night on the planet came to an end and the first of the three suns in this solar system began to peek over the horizon, the sun warmed Arthur's body. His consciousness then began to slowly awaken.
