Am I dead?
I thought to myself as i floated endlessly in an empty void, deprived of my senses, losing the meaning of time, wondering if its how i will be , for all eternity...was i being punished? I didn't remember committing a crime except stepping on some insects.
Slowly but surely I was losing more then my senses..my consciousness fading away, sinking ,depriving me the final remembrance of what made me 'me'.
"Arise"
I heard the void speak, echoing and reverberating as I was immediately flung upwards, colliding with a dark visage as finally light hit my face.
*GASP*
UGH... haaaa
I exasperatedly sucked in air as though I had just been saved from drowning.
I feel like i was dying...feel...I WAS ALIVE.
.....................................
A young man in his late teens laid on the silvery grass echoed by the moonlight, his eyes observing the moon, the forest around him, the insects and the sky...as if he was a newborn seeing it for the first time.
" Hahahaha" a joyful laughter broke out of his mouth as his hand grasped the air.

I could see it..The blue screen in front of me but what made me happy about it rather then questioning it was the contents of the blue screen.

Indeed it was similar to the system in solo leveling, I did not know what was happening but i was excited.
[Will u except the key?]
a message suddenly popped up, "Key? is it talking about the character key of red gate jinwoo?" My heart thumped...harder and harder
It wasn't fear but excitement! Accept!
WOOOSH
wind started circling around me and soon turned into a mini tornado, i could feel energy flowing through me, perhaps this was man? OUT of NOWHERE! a shadowy circle appeared below my feet and strands of unnaturally black energy started dying the tornado black, as if it was the abyss itself, soon the tornado became black, it then compressed into a whirling sphere around me and i felt myself being lifted up! I was Flying!
Golden light emerged from me, shinning violently and blasted through the abysmal sphere surrounding me as even the void failed to catch it.
[light of the ruler] the system message appeared
but soon the golden light was devoured as another light shone from me, Purple....
[Mana of the shadow monarch]
I could feel the overbearing energies which was so far beyond me that i didn't even thought of controlling it, The creation of the ruler and the end of destruction, both were the powers of the once shadow monarch ashborn and his successor jinwoo.
Finally the purple light dimmed as a gentle but brilliant blue light took its place, painting the entire forest blue.
[Character key synchronization complete]
the black whirlwind surrounding me suddenly disappeared as i slowly fell towards the ground.
My eyes closed yet when i opened them, it shone with a brilliant blue light.
A smirk involuntarily appeared on my face
