Ethan groggily opened his eyes and found himself standing in the middle of an enormous forest, surrounded by towering trees and dense foliage. Confusion washed over him. "Where am I? What is this place?" he muttered to himself, trying to make sense of his surroundings. A voice echoed in his mind, breaking the silence. [You are now in the Asura Forest, located in the world of Ignisia. It is one of the three largest forests in this world.] "Who's there?" Ethan asked, his eyes darting from side to side, searching for the source of the voice. [I am an artificial intelligence, or more accurately, what you would call a 'system' on Earth. I'll be with you until you become invincible.] Ethan's mind raced. "The last thing I remember is being in my room... How did I end up here?" he thought to himself, trying to recall the events that led him here. The system provided an answer. [You were caught in the crossfire of an interdimensional battle between two primordial gods, resulting in your immediate death.] [As compensation for their mistake, the gods have decided to grant you system privileges.] The voice paused for a moment before continuing. [To learn more, you can call 'status.'] Ethan, feeling somewhat unsettled but curious, said aloud, "Status." The system responded instantly.

Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky.

Synopsis: 'The Unknown" The city was a tapestry of ancient rivalries, woven with threads of power and magic. In its heart beat the pulse of two dynasties, the Dawn Kingdom and the Night Kingdom, locked in an eternal dance of light and darkness. But beneath the fade of splendor lay a sinister truth-a conspiracy that would shake the foundations of both realms. One fateful night, the air crackled with treachery as the forces of evil descended upon the unsuspecting city. In a cruel twist of fate, the good witches of the Dawn Kingdom fell victim to a malevolent plot, their lives snuffed out in a whirlwind of betrayal. Among the fallen was Eithan, heir to the throne, his dreams of a united kingdom shattered in an instant. Yet, amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope remained-Nisa, his beloved, spared from the clutches of death by some twist of fortune. Together, they were laid to rest in a remote island sanctuary, a silent testament to the tragedy that had befallen them. But time, it seemed, was not content to let their story end there. Thirty years passed like shadows in the night, until one fateful evening, when Nisa felt the stirrings of destiny calling her name. Driven by a restless longing, she ventured beyond the confines of her solitude, seeking solace in the mundane pleasures of the mortal world. As the rain poured down in sheets, washing away the sins of the past, Nisa found herself drawn to a forgotten corner of the city-a place where memories lay dormant, waiting to be awakened. And then, like a bolt from the blue, fate intervened. A chain, ethereal and glowing with otherworldly light, materialized before her eyes, beckoning her closer with its silent plea for aid. With trembling hands, Nisa reached out, her fingers closing around the cool metal links. And in that moment, she heard it-a voice, soft and haunting, whispering words of warning and redemption. Terrified yet resolute, Nisa stood at the crossroads of destiny, her heart torn between love and duty. For she knew that whatever path she chose, the consequences would be dire, the sacrifices profound. But as the seconds slipped away like grains of sand in an hourglass, Nisa knew that she could no longer afford to hesitate. With a steely resolve, she made her choice, the chain glowing brighter with each passing heartbeat-a beacon of hope in a world consumed by darkness .And so, with the weight of centuries upon her shoulders, Nisa took her first step into the unknown, her fate intertwined with that of her beloved Eithan, in a tale of revenge, mystery, and undying love.

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.
