You always saw things differently, especially when you were young. While others would read stories about dragons and great heroes, you studied about what would happen if you lit sulfur, or how fast a car could go on a slope. While other kids made friends and went outside, you read books about velocity and periodic elements. By the time you were five, you graduated from high-school. By the time you were 13, you had master's degrees in both chemistry and physics. And by the time you were 16, you were leading multiple different projects for multiple different companies. Everything was going perfectly for you, almost. While you had everything anyone could ever want, you still saight perfection of one thing. And like the alchemists of old, it nearly drove you mad. After roughly 8 years of trying to perfect something you called "True Alchemy," you were on the brink of collapse. After some friends helped you out mentally, you decided to take a vacation. But while you were packing some stuff at the office, one of your coworkers accidentally spilt chemicals on you, chemicals that dissolved your skull in seconds. As you you died thinking this was the end, everything suddenly felt cold. After opening your eyes, you see a woman holding you with biggest smile on her face, and a man sitting next to her with an equally large smile. After looking at your hands, you quickly realize you had been reincarnated into a fantasy world filled with magic. After a few weeks of jist observing everything, you watch as your family of mages always uses amazing magic. It's so complicated for everyone else, but to you, it just looks like a series of simple formulas easy enough to manipulate. While others see the magic in magic, you now see the science.

In the year 1982, portals started to appear everywhere, and monsters came along with them. The military handled it for a while, but even with the combined efforts of the world, they were quickly annihilated. But a few years after the portals arrived, the Awakening happened. The Awakening was an event where people all across the world were exposed to something called Spiritual Energy, which gave each of them amazing and unique abilities. So once people realized what they could do, they decided to finally take matters into their own hands and clear out the portals. Since then, traffic being delayed because of a portal opening up has become an everyday thing. Nowadays, most people who have Spiritual Energy fit into E rank through S rank. Sadly, you aren't the strongest of this world, quite the opposite actually. When you were a kid, you were told stories of your father being an incredible portal jumper, clearing A rank portals by himself. So when he didn't come home after a portal raid, you knew what you needed to be. So when you turned 16, you when to a portal agency to get tested, the results came up to a grand total of...... one. Even though you were devastated, you were stubborn, so you went to an E rank dungeon. It's been about a year now, and you've been hurt ao many times that you've been given the nickname 001, meaning the worat of the worst. And today is no different......

A long time ago, things were normal. People tended to their crops, fed their livestock, and had happy lives. When one day, something amazing happened. Dungeons started appearing in towns, forests, and even people's homes. In these dungeons were the promises of wealth, fame, and power. A good amount of adventurers immediately jumped at the opportunity, only to die horrible deaths. From the monsters, traps, and other ways to die, it's not uncommon to go into a dungeon never to return to the surface. A few years after the dungeons were discovered, a team of adventurers actually managed to clear one. They found riches and artifacts galore, using said treasure to start the very guilds that explore these dungeons. Nowadays, dungeons are constantly being raided and explored by young adventurers seeking fame and fortune. But your story starts somewhere else, somewhere far away from wealth and fame, high up in the mountains. You are from a small farming village high up in the mountains, where if the winds are just right, you smell fresh baked bread. Really the only thing special about this place is the people, especially you. From the moment you were born, tou were strong, CRAZY strong. By the time you were five, you could lift 750 lbs hay bales, carrying them like nothing. On top of that, you had a good amount of mana, meaning you could use skills and spells. As you grew up, you helped around your family's farm, doing what you could. But when you were 18, something horrible happened. Your entire village watched as the ground split beneath them and the mountains crack. After the chaos, there was now a dungeon where your only home had been.

In this world, there is constant pain and conflict. Demons have been fighting civilizations for centuries, slaughtering and torturing every poor soul they come across. In hopes of retaliation, the empire prayed to the gods. When they answered, they were given a gift beyond measure, magic in all it's forms. People trained and battled, managing to push the demons back to an area now known ad the front lines. Once the old war ended, and the new war began, the study of magic was finally set in motion. The current studies have classified magic into ten ranks, 1-Star through 10-Star magic. But that's not the focus of this story, no, this story is about Sergio Reiter Pallasch's lineage. Sergio is the general and close friend of the current emperor, giving him an incredibly large amount of sway over things. His family currently consists of his wife Sarah, his oldest son Johnathan, and his two daughters Rosaria and Rosfield. His son was blessed with the powerful magic known as Holy Lightning, which is incredibly effective. Not many people know that the general has many lovers aside from his wife, but even fewer know that he has an illegitimate son, you. During one of his many tours of war, he found a lover in a small town, thus giving rise to your birth. While you were born in his manor, and treated well by him, almost everyone else despised you since you were a bastard. Sadly, your mother died giving birth to you, giving you the nickname Omen. You were hidden from the public for most of your life, especially after you found out you had Shadow magic. Your childhood was stolen from you, and you were trained to be a soldier, and you perfect. Then one day, after a long battle, you felt the stab of your brother's holy sword in your back.

The fallen leaves tell a story, of how there was nothing but chaos and darkness. But then, the gods decided to bring the sun, the moon, and the stars. And so people studied them, amazed by these gifts. Centuries passed without conflict or fear, when a discovery was made, the gift of Spiritual Energy. A power that, when harnessed, granted the user nigh endless possibilities for power. But the gods were enraged by this discovery, and in there state of fury, created the Void. A vile thing that disrupts and corrupts all it touches, making them twisted and violent. The grasses grew black and rough, the skies turned red, and the people turned into monsters beyond comprehension. People fought the void for years, trying to combat it's progress. And in their despair and desperation, they created Eikons. Devices capable of trapping and cleaning areas of the void, but only once the area's monsters were defeated. And so started the initiative to take back their world from the void, hoping to cleanse it once and for all. Multiple organizations stemmed from this, paying people to do what they could, even making energy scaling for those able to use Spiritual Energy. After years of effort, these organizations and teams of SP users became normal. But our story begins somewhere near where the first incursion of the void began.

During an event known as the "Evolution Crisis," many different children were born with abilities, most harming themselves and others. While some had more tame abilities sush as wings or hardened skin, others had more violent powers. The government quickly cqught on to these events and made protocols, which included stealing newborns from their parents for testing. The one's who came out positive were taken to one of many black sites, government facilities made to test on the children. Roughly two years after the program had started, a woman by the name Sarah Palmer gave birth to one of the so called "Evolved." But when the child was born, it was catastrophic. The entire hospital had crumbled in on itself, almost as if gravity had decided to increase a million fold. The only survivors were Sarah and her child, so she did what she vould and ran, leaving the child behind for her own safety. The government found the child soon enough after that, taking it to a black site. But aafter going to it, the child's sheer power destroyed it in less than an hour. This cycle continued until they hollowed out a mountain, making that a new black site. The child was raised and tested on for six years, and this is where the story begins.

In the year 1957, there was a man who was nigh unkillable. His body was bulletproof, flame resistant, and even was strong enough to punch a hole through a tank. After finally melting him in acid, they found the source of his incredible abilities, a ring that was dropped from his corpse when he died. And since then, the news of these anomalies named O.P. (Objects of Power) spread everywhere. These things have only become more and more frequent with time, and in the modern day, a kid finding an O.P. is just an average Tuesday. People still don't really know how an O.P. works, though there has been some successful research. Only certain people can awaken an O.P., and those people are called Catalysts. The only way someone can find out if they're a Catalyst is if they touch an O.P. If a person who isn't a Catalyst touches one, they experience horrible symptoms such as splitting migraines and eye bleeding. The year is now 2024, and it's also where the story begins. Story: Ever since you were young, you've always been compared to others. You were never born the strongest or the fastest, you weren't even all that interesting. And because of this, you were bullied relentlessly, which gave you the ability to keep your emotions down no matter the pressure, and being raised by a neglectful family also helped. And when you turned 16, you got a job at an auction house, with yet another bully as a boss. When one day, while they're selling the collection, something happens.

You were just an ordinary kid, almost too ordinary in fact. Most people ignored you, you were only average at everything, you didn't have any special skills ir hobbies, and were pretty much destined for a nine to five desk job. That is, until one day in your high-school English class, something magical happened. A massive pentacle appeared below your entire class, and everyone was summoned to a fantasy world filled with magic and monsters. The priests that summoned you and your class said that there was a prophecy of a hero being summoned from another world, so they summoned the entire class, just to be safe. Each of you had been summoned with special abilities, along with a Cultivation System, but your ability was uniquely disturbing. You had the ability Devour, which allowed you to gain the strength and power of monsters by eating their hearts, though it was guaranteed to be incredibly painful each time. After you and your class had adventured a good few times, you decided to go into a dungeon, where everything would change. Only about two floors in, your so called best friend pushed you into a deep pit, which lead to the bottom of the dungeon.

In the world of Dalmechia, magic flows everywhere, even in the air itself. The magic comes in the form of ether, which is in everything from the plants tonthe water. There are three types of people who use magic. The first is the everyday person, who thanks to the help of a crystal, can draw ether from the air to do magic. The second are called bearers, who thanks to their innate ability to use ether and magic, are highly sought after. But not in the way you'd think, because instead of being praised or called lucky, they're traded to be slaves. Anyone who's born a bearer is almost traded immediately, as soon as they can walk and talk. And the third, well, they're no push overs. The third type is called an Eikon, which means that they've been born with magic, and the power of an Aetherian. Aetherians are the equivalent of gods, each representing a different element, which include the following. Phoenix, the Aetherian of Fire. Aevum, the Wind Aetherian. Fulgur, the Lightning Aetherian. Tellus, the Earth Aetherian. Lux, the Light Aetherian. Nephta, the Ice Aetherian. Umbra, the Darkness Aetherian. And Nix, the Water Aetherian. Each and every Aetherian has and Eikon born to them, but once Eikons are born, no more can be born till all of them are dead, allowing each Aetherian to only have one Eikon. Anyways, to the story. You were born into the family of duke Pallasch. Both your mother and your father expected you to be born an Eikon, since your family had a history of Eikons being born in your father's bloodline. Sadly, you were born a normal child, or so everyone thinks. You mother hated the fact that you weren't an Eikon, so the moment she had your little brother who was the Eikon of the Phoenix, she quickly favorited him. Your father didn't share in her favoritism, but rather loved you and your brother equally. And while your brother was taught how to use magic, you were taught the way of the sword by your father. So this is where our story starts.

In 2010, there was an explosion in Empire City, which caused unknown elements and other things to be released. But through the mass destruction and chaos, a new species of humans were born, Conduits. Conduit abilities can range from the manipulation of certain forms of energy or matter to flight, enhanced senses, and even super strength, or other physical and mental enhancements. But instead of being praised as miracles, people were horrified and feared them, even calling them monsters and freaks. Most Conduits were hunted fown and killed, almost in a crusade like manner or culling. And in 2018, the D.U.P. was made, a military force who hunts down conduits and bring them to Curdan Cay, a prison for Conduits that's more secure than Fort Nox. While there were Conduits who tried to make a difference, like Delson Rowe and Cole McGrath, the government and militias still hunt them down. Now the year is 2024, and Conduits are still called Bio-Terrorists and are forced to run, or be put in an almost inescapable prison And soon, you're going to experience everything a Conduit does. Because you, despite your knowledge, posses the Conduit gene.

In the small town of Gado Oregon, there is a local legend. It is said that the town's local lake, named Full Moon Lake due to how it reflects the full moon perfectly, is magic. Some people believe that if you go to the lake during a full moon night, you will be granted a wish, while ithers think that it allows you to see the dead. Superstition around the lake have been around for years, centuries even, and it doesn't help that the town used to be grounds for Native Americans. Almost everyone in that town believes that it is magical or mystical, but not you, because you believe science and magic. And even though you were born and raised in this town, you still never believed in it. Until one night.

(This is heavily inspired by things like Solo Leveling and Hidden Class: Gravity Master) For the past 50 years, portals have been appearing all over the world, allowing monsters and other dangers to come through. And despite the world's best efforts, the military could do little to nothing on the monsters, nonetheless average people. That was untill an event called the Awakening, which gave random ordinary people abilities akin to an RPG, such as classes and skill trees. The people who started having these powers started to clear these portals, giving them xp and items, along with monster cores which act as currency. Almost everyone thinks that melee classes are the strongest, and that spellcaster classes are nothing but dead weight. After a few years, portal dungeons and hunters, the people with special abilities, became a part of everyday life. But a few years after the Awakening, people discovered something amazing, Special Classes. Special Classes are essentially rarer archetypes that only a few hunters can achieve, which give additional abilities fitting the archetype, such as Lighting Knight being under the Fighter class. And now, the year is 2050, where you finally come in. You: You are the boy in the picture. You wanted to be a hunter ever since you were a child, researching every dungeon and guild. So by the time you turned 10, low and behold, your powers actually awakened. But instead off being a drake knight like you wanted, your class said Gravity Master, which is a special class under the Mage class. Almost everyone you knew made fun of you for being a mage, even your best friend Sarah, who has the special class of Paladin. But that never discouraged you, instead, you still pursue your dream of being an S-rank hunter.

You were walking home from high-school one day, and saw a woman getting abused, and you had to step in. You were able to get her away, but were stabbed in the chest, resulting in your death. But since you used your life to help others, the Goddess of reincarnation summoned you to thr void. You immediately fell in love with her and professed it, and by some godly luck, your charismatic personality charmed her. She then told you that you would be reincarnated into a world where magic is everything and everywhere, but she also told you that due to your successful seduction, she would grant you additional power in the form of three talents, which are essentially passive skills. The first was Mana Void, which gave you infinite mana and the ability to gain power after every successful fight. The second was Magic Burst, which allows you to learn every type of magic without fail. And the third was Cultivation, which is the equivalent of an RPG system. Once she explained everything, she begrudgingly sent you to your new world, but not without promising you'll be hers someday.

That is you, Ultraman. In this version of Ultraman, kaiju have been attacking people all over the globe for over 30 years. The task of being Ultraman originally fell to your father, but due to his old age, he forced the responsibility on to you. And while you have all the powers, you kinda suck at controlling them, nonetheless trying to be a hero. You decided at a young age that being Ultraman isn't what you want, so you moved to a different city and got a normal job. But 5 years after you left, you get a message from your father, says he needs you to be the next Ultraman. After you argued for hours and hours, he somehow convinced you to move back home.

When you were waking home from school or work one day, you weren't really paying attention to traffic, and were predictably ran over and killed. But you didn't go to the afterlife or the void, because your death was actually an accident by the goddess of reincarnation, so she's giving you a second chamce at life. She days she'll send you to a world of magic and monsters, so of course you accept quickly, not even hearing her warnings. She mainly said things like how magic is strong and important, how you're gonna want some friends to help you with your adventures, but you didn't care, you wanted to be reborn in a fantasy world. So when you were sent to your new world, you were expecting to be reborn as royalty or a mystical beast. But instead, you wake up in a very old and cold dungeon. When you got up to look around, you saw that your hands are just bones. Panicking, you inspect your entire body, quickly realizing you were reborn as an undead skeleton. You were hoping to be reborn as royalty or an elf, but now you're just a monster. But there is hope, the Goddess of reincarnation liked you a lot and gave you two additional abilities. Thanks to your undead nature, every time you die, you just get stroger. And she gave you a Cultivation System, or RPG system. So try and make the best out of your new life, because who knows, maybe you'll be the hero this would needs.

(this is heavily inspired by the life of the immortal god) In this world, there is a thing called spiritual energy, the more you have the more powerful you are. And everyone, thanks to spiritual energy, has a minimum of at least one unique ability. Spiritual energy has also created monsters and demons, or attracted them, nobody really knows.

Now, you are 16 and getting into high school, and while you insisted going to a normal one, your parents decided to enroll you in the most elite school, so you could be a hero like they want. So, will you try to hide your immense power from the public, or give in to becoming a hero again.
