Act 9: Preparation For War Arc

I’ve killed thousands before, in a world far from this one, and I’ll kill thousands more before I’m done. This place is nothing new—just another hunting ground, filled with the same fragile, oblivious prey. They scream the same, beg the same, die the same. Their fear tastes just as sweet. With my gift, I can be anyone and I can be anywhere. By the time they realize what I am, they’ll already be bleeding out in my hands. ——— Art on cover is by u/tj_ill on Reddit (I can take it down! I asked for permission to use their art but I haven't received a response yet. I used it nonetheless because it genuinely looks unsettling—the perfect choice.)

Fifty years ago, a meteorite struck Earth, unleashing a wave of radiation that changed humanity forever. Mutations spread across the population, gifting some with extraordinary powers. From this chaos emerged six individuals of unparalleled strength, granted the title of "Gods." These powerful beings were each granted a domain—a unique stronghold where other mutants could challenge them for their title. To succeed in slaying a God was to ascend in their place, if successful you are given a special domain of your own. In half a century, only three challengers have claimed a godly title, leaving three of the original Gods still standing. The world remains a fractured and perilous place, dominated by these divine figures and their fiercely contested realms. Banri, an 18-year-old mutant with a fiery determination, has decided to carve his name into history. Tired of a life in the shadows, he sets his sights on dethroning one of the Gods. With his abilities untested against such overwhelming power, Banri embarks on a dangerous journey to rise above all others. The path to godhood is treacherous, but Banri is willing to risk it all to claim his destiny. Will he become a legend—or just another forgotten challenger crushed beneath the might of the Gods?

He remembered he was lying on his bed, now he was also lying on a bed, but the mat was made of unknown leaves, not like the foam on his bed. "Ding! Congratulations!" "The Many Children Many Blessing System is successfully integrated." Hearing the voice in his mind, he was shocked! He couldn't believe it. After all, the system was the golden finger of the transmigrators, their key to success in a new world. "Wait, wait. Transmigrator?" he said, looking around him. He looked at his hand, his fingers slender and strong, a far cry from the weak, trembling hands he had on Earth.
