1 Prologue(I/I)
(N/A: Thank you for giving a chance to this work~! I recommend reading the Prologue to the End, as this first part is VERY misleading~ Warning to my reader friends who make exaggerated decisions after reading certain...words :p Take it easy on me!)
BOOOOOOOOOM
A powerful explosion occurred in the midst of the Void, causing an extremely powerful light to suddenly emerge for a few seconds before disappearing again into the absolute darkness of the Void.
This strange phenomenon happened several times: one after another with irregular intervals, making the Void look like the sky during a festive season: filled with fireworks.
At the location where such lights appeared and disappeared, two figures moved at an absurd speed, confronting each other with immensely powerful blows that made the Void itself distort and tremble amidst the impacts of their strikes.
''RAAAAAAAGH'' One of the figures roared in fury as he delivered an extremely fast punch towards his opponent's chin.
The punch's target dodged by leaning backward and countered by raising his foot, hitting the side of his attacker with tremendous force, sending him flying, possibly several kilometers away.
''Urf...I...Urf...am tired...Urf...of you...!'' The figure that was kicked quickly recovered while roaring at the one who hit him, in fury. His blue-eyed gaze showed an enormous amount of anger, making his appearance more intimidating.
"...And you think I wanted to be here?" The other figure responded with an irritated tone, his body hyperventilating due to the absurd exhaustion he was feeling at that moment, his entirely black eyes staring at his adversary.
He observed in fury that man with blue eyes and dark blue hair, who seemed to be his conceptual counterpart, not physically but on a more conceptual level.
His 'counterpart' had an appearance vastly different from his, as while he was the personification of the opposing force, his counterpart was simply a...human, with talents that shouldn't make sense.
This human wore eccentric clothes, which were almost completely faded due to their fight. All that remained was a relatively tight black pants and a strangely shaped orange glasses that were almost completely broken.
''Let's...end this...soon!'' The human declared as he pointed his arm upward, his fist almost completely closed while a single finger extended forward, simulating a kind of drill. At least, that's what could be understood.
The blood in the human's body began to float and shine with an enormous amount of [Spiral Energy], creating a tremendous sense of danger, forcing a similar-level attack to emerge.
Both the human's blood and his blood began to form drills around their respective fists: his on the right, while the human's on the left, counterparts to the end.
When their action was perfectly ready, both stepped on the 'ground' of the Void with tremendous force, causing it to shake completely, with huge cracks spreading across it: an impossible feat that unfortunately went unnoticed by either party.
''RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'' / ''GRAAAAAAAAAAAAA'' They released their strange shouts in fury as they ran towards each other, each of their steps forcing the 'Ground' of the Void to tremble as the cracks spread even more, until they entered each other's range.
They extended their arms and attacked each other in sync as the tips of their drills repeated a phenomenon that had occurred earlier in their long battle: colliding one tip with the other, creating absolute pressure that further affected the 'Ground' they stood on.
They pressed their feet to the ground and leaned their bodies forward while trying to push their drills, spending all their strength in this simple act. And similarly to before, a reaction was generated from this clash of blows.
A spiral motion arose from the collision of both drills, a strange and already known signal for both appeared on each of the drills, causing their eyes to widen at the sudden change due to the symbol that emerged.
''HEH'' A smirk of mockery appeared on the human's mouth as he looked at the [Infinity] Symbol representing the result of the strength from both sides, making his eyes widen.
''YOU...!'' A last attempt to verbalize his hatred quickly surfaced but was swiftly erased when the two infinity symbols expanded completely, engulfing both as the 'Ground' of the Void cracked.
"Let's...end this...soon!" The Human declared while pointing his arm upward, fist almost completely closed while a single finger extended forward, simulating a kind of Drill. At least, that's what could be understood.
''HEH'' A smirk of mockery appeared on the Human's mouth as he looked at the Symbol that represented [Infinity] emerging as a result of the strength of both sides, making his eyes widen.
''YOU...!'' A last attempt to verbalize his hatred quickly surfaced but was swiftly erased when the two Symbols of Infinity expanded completely, engulfing both as the 'Ground' of the Void cracked.
In the same way, the [Infinity] generated by the collision of their blows engulfed their bodies and completely cracked the Void, causing the few 'things' that existed in this place to be completely erased, including both parties.

All that was left in the location was precisely [Nothing], nothing beyond what originated all this result.
All the darkness of the place began to spiral in a slow fashion, with its speed consistently increasing until a black hole was perfectly simulated.
If either of the two Figures were still in this place, they would know how bizarre this phenomenon was. The [Spiral Energy] in which they believed to have no consciousness was acting, without interference from third parties.
The Energy filling this infinite 'nothing' began to enter at an unlimited speed into the strange 'black hole' that was generated. If any User of this Energy saw its current action, they would know how excited/happy 'it' was.
Within an unknown amount of time, the Energy disappeared completely from the infinite 'void,' before the 'black hole' itself vanished entirely, this time leaving nothing behind.
Perhaps something would return to exist in the future when another 'entity' emerged to reset everything in this Universe.

A simple-looking Human figure could be seen waking up on what seemed to be his bed.
''An unknown ceiling...'' The Human figure, with a male voice, widened his eyes when he realized what he said and quickly got up. ''Urgh...!'' He placed his hand on his head as his vision became relatively dark due to the speed at which he stood up.
''An unknown ceiling, a different body...'' The figure murmured, sounding amazed. ''I've reincarnated! FINALLY!'' He commented with an enormous amount of happiness, looking like a complete idiot.
[The User's reincarnation was a success.]
[Now, the System will introduce itself to its First and Only User.]
Two yellow screens appeared in front of the man who began to smile extremely excited.
''My golden finger!'' He celebrated to himself while letting his happiness take over, imagining the infinite things he would do now.
Things like gaining an enormous amount of power, building a kingdom solely of women, having a massive harem, and various things like that, things that 'normal' people dream of.
[The system will begin to intro-]
''Huh?'' He stared at the System with a strange look when he snapped back to reality, not understanding why the System stopped the message halfway.
BRRRRRTZZZZZ
Electricity started emanating from the yellow windows of the System as the entire sky outside darkened.
''What the hell is happening?!'' He demanded an answer(?) as he looked at the System's strange reaction and the blackened sky.
[An error has occurred.]
''...An error?'' He questioned, his extreme emotions of happiness slowly fading away.
[An unknown entity influenced the System's path.]
[You are not the one who should receive the System.]
The man's eyes widened slowly.
[Security measures have been duly taken.]
The electricity around the boxes intensified.
[Those who deceived the System and its Creator will receive their proper punishments.]
[Soul Extinguisher(?) Ray has been utilized.]
The electricity took on a black tone before hitting the horrified man at an enormous speed, and before he could even say anything: his body was completely erased.
The electricity didn't stop there; it continued expanding at absurd speeds while engulfing the house where the man was, his neighborhood, city, country, continent, and so on, not allowing reactions to happen or news to spread.
In less than 5 seconds, the entire world was wiped out. All that remained in the vast space was a yellow window.
[Punitive action successfully carried out.]
The window was just declaring its actions to no one(?).
[The True User has been found.]
[The path to the User has been duly created. Initiating movement.]
And thus, the yellow window disappeared, causing the solar system of this Universe to no longer bear a 'Planet Earth,' as well as killing ALL normal and supernatural beings that existed on this Earth.

Small World. It was a little dimension created in an unknown place, made to accommodate one or more people. Typically used for training or powerful individuals who liked to distance themselves from reality, within certain limits.
Within this Small World, a 'Human' resided. He was sitting on a wooden chair, sipping a juice through a plastic straw, his posture quite relaxed as he looked at the sunny sky with his sunglasses.
This 'Human' didn't have an overly flashy hair color or an excessively muscular body, or at least that's what it seemed 'externally.'
The outer part of his hair was black while the inner part was blonde, creating a beautiful contrast for the relaxed man. His eyes, hidden behind the dark glasses, had a considerably bright purple color, giving him a beautiful contrast in terms of 'colors' on his body.
The man's skin was lightly tanned, enough for him not to look pale, while being covered by a kind of black kimono with rather simple details.
...
He had been staring at the sky for who knows how long, seeming to be waiting for something. And this same thing seemed to have appeared at this very moment as a yellow tab popped up in front of him.
[Hello.]
''...'' He stopped sipping the juice for a moment while shifting his gaze to the yellow tab that appeared in front of him.
[...]
Both the tab and the man 'stared' at each other in silence for a while before he slightly lowered the glasses while raising an eyebrow.
''Lost, aren't u?'' He asked with a slightly amused glint in his eye, considering how long he had been waiting for the yellow tab.
[...No..?]
''Pfft'' He could hardly hold back a laugh at the uncertain response from this adorable yellow tab.
''Alright, let's pretend I believed you, and now we're in the explanation part.'' He commented while shaking his head amused.
[..Thank you.]
[As you may already know, I am a [System].]
[I was created with the sole purpose of making things more fun for you while you get stronger.]
''Hm....~'' He stared at the three windows that appeared while humming lightly.
''More fun, you say? Well, we can work with that.'' He gave a thankful nod to his new System, which seemed to respond in kind, causing the tab to move up and down slightly for his amusement.
[Like some other Systems, I have few functions initially, and over time, I will unlock more and more functions as you achieve accomplishments or interesting things.]
[This way, you won't need to be indecisive or pressured about which option to use or what to do. And of course, don't worry about having your privileges revoked or potential limited; if necessary, new functions will be unlocked due to the urgency of the situation.]
''Good. What are your current functions?''
[My current functions are: {Status}, {Missions}, {Chat}, and {Fusion}.]
[{Status} > Allows the User to view their own detailed Status and that of other living beings, provided they have the strength or knowledge necessary for it.]
[{Missions} > This is where tasks assigned to help the User are located, and various rewards can be found here.]
[{Chat} > Enables the User to communicate with various other people, exchange information, techniques, knowledge, and even travel to their respective worlds.]
[{Fusion} > Location used to merge one ability with another, creating something better.]
The purple eyes of the Man gleamed slightly before he spoke with a curious tone.
"Before I start extracting more information from you, I want you to focus on this {Chat} function, explain it to me in more detail."
The System seemed to understand what the Man meant, as it provided the exact answer he was looking for.
[{Chat} connects across Worlds, allowing different people to contact the User randomly, as long as the User permits it.]
[People don't necessarily need to be System Users or important beings in their respective worlds; they just need the minimum luck for this to happen to them and not someone else in their respective worlds.]
[Think of it as a messaging app where everyone can talk to you but not with each other, at least not without the User's disclosure and permission.]
"Quite practical considering your previously explained capabilities..." He murmured while absorbing the explanation. "Now, let's get better acquainted before we move on to the more basic parts, shall we?"
Thus, for the next few hours, a floating yellow Tab and a 'Human' engaged in conversation without realizing the passage of time, both focused on their respective tasks.
[...]
After precisely 27 hours since the appearance of the Yellow Tab, the man now gazed at the tab with a small satisfied smile, feeling that he had grasped enough of the System.
"Let's start with some additional information, {Status}," he commanded as the yellow tab extended, revealing a vast amount of information.
[Name: Vesper Chronothread Nebulaspiral]
[Level: 0]
[Age: 1]
[Gender: Male]
[Race: Veserithorn]
[Title: {Spectral of the Divine Spiral}]
[Strength: 1/1,000]
[Agility: 1/1,300]
[Speed: 1/1,300]
[Stamina: 1/1,000]
[Focus: 1/1,200]
[Skill: 1/2,000]
[Energy: 1/2,000]
[Leadership: 1/1,000]
[Tactics: 1/1,000]
[Passive Skills: {One with Destiny(MAX)}, {Veserithorn Advantages(MAX)}, {Elemental Affinity(MAX)}, {Lover of the Spiral(MAX)}.]
[Active Skills: {None}]
[Mastery: {Spiral Energy(Lv.1)}]
[System Points: {0}]
"Whistle Quite a packed start," Vesper commented, relatively impressed with the number of abilities he began with.
"There's a lot to see, but since I'm not in a hurry... let's go through each piece of important information," a curious gleam shone in Vesper's eyes as the details of what he was facing began to unfold.
[Strength: Physical Strength (Brute) and Resistance (Brute).]
[Agility: Agility and physical dexterity, the ability to move quickly and precisely.]
[Speed: Movement speed, the ability to travel at high speed.]
[Stamina: Physical endurance, the ability to endure prolonged effort.]
[Focus: Mental concentration and clarity, the ability to keep the mind centered.]
[Skill: Proficiency in specific skills, the ability to perform tasks with mastery.]
[Energy: Precision and Freedom in Energy Manipulation(+)]
[+: This focuses on the main Energy of this Body [Spiral Energy], and will change if new Energies are added/detected.]
[Leadership: Ability to guide and inspire others, the ability to lead effectively.]
[Tactics: Strategic thinking, the ability to plan and execute strategies efficiently.]
"Is there any way to compare my current self to anything else?" Vesper suddenly asked after finishing reading the Status explanations.
"An adult human can reach up to '2' in each of their attributes except 'Focus,' which can go up to '2.5.'"
"The average for the Human Race is '1,' while world-class athletes, super geniuses, and various others can exceed the mark from '1' to '2.5' (maximum)."
"What is the maximum weight a human can attempt to lift?"
"About 300kg in a brute force manner, with their peak being 350kg using extreme techniques."
(N/A: I think 'converted,' this is around 600(+-) lb)
''Hm...'' He narrowed his eyes at the response while looking at the Strength Limit that the Status was showing, ''Well, with this maximum attribute limit, I don't doubt being able to lift a mountain in the future,'' he commented, seeming quite amused by this somewhat surreal idea.
[...]
Seeing how his System was silent, Vesper widened his eyes in response.
''You're kidding, right?'' He asked, somewhat apprehensive about the answer.
[It shouldn't be a problem to lift a mountain with 1,000 Status Points; you should be able to do that even before reaching 1,000 Points.]
''Haha... I think I underestimated you a bit, dear System!'' He commented with a loud tone, exasperated by the response.
[Indeed, you underestimated us (both me and you).]
A small smile crossed Vesper's face as he read what the System was saying.
''Well well~ With an answer like that, I'm even more hopeful for the future, you know? Let's continue with what we were doing!'' He moved his eyes to the next things, with a certain happy embarrassment.
[Veserithorn: A special race created after the strange collision of distinct yet similar concepts. Generated after the Void's End, the Veserithorn is highly resistant to abnormal Space conditions and extremely gifted in various areas. (+)]
Vesper opened the '(+)' to see more detailed information.
[(+): Generated through the collaboration of [Destiny] and [Spiral], the Veserithorn is extremely favored by these two primordial concepts. One governing the creation of things, while the other commands the Cycle of Creation and Destruction, which will always repeat.
During the creation of the Veserithorn, the Concepts that accepted the fact that it was impossible to avoid the creation of a new being when they collided decided to do their best so that at least this being would be to their liking, providing enormous benefits to the Veserithorn that was generated shortly after.]
''Sigh Well, now it seems like I'm in a cycle. A cycle of creating an expectation and having that expectation surpassed by a wide margin,'' he shook his head, exasperated, as he read the information about his Race.
Vesper had been in this place for no more than a year; he had simply appeared there as a new being and put into existence, like a good and beautiful newborn. The only difference between a newborn and Vesper at this time was the body, which was exactly the same body as now.
He was extremely confused about who he was or why he kept gaining knowledge about how to speak and words he had never heard, but he just decided to accept it as a consequence of his growth, which proved not to be too wrong now that this information was revealed by the System.
''This at least explains a lot of things. Not that I'm going to complain~ The more benefits, the better,'' he said with a relatively cheerful tone as he moved his eyes to the next line of information.
[{Spectral of the Divine Spiral}: Title that emphasizes the mystical and ethereal nature of the Veserithorn, demonstrating its exclusive ability to manipulate and assimilate the primordial spiral energy, highlighting its sacred presence in the Universe. (+)]
[(+): +1,000% affinity with Sacred energies / +10,000% Efficiency when Training Spiral Energy (subject to increase over time)]
Vesper decided to just memorize this information and move on to the next piece of information; he was running out of reactions to offer to the System. He honestly didn't know what else to say or do about the absurd things that were appearing to him.
[{One with Destiny(MAX)}: The Veserithorn is unique; it exists outside of Destiny and the infinite cycle of creation and destruction, incapable of having an end: only of coming into being. (+)]
[(+):
Whenever the Veserithorn dies, it will be reborn after a variable period of time (depending on the type of death), being able to be reborn with or without memories. The Veserithorn exists only in the [Present], unaffected by the past or the Future, making Predictions of the Future not see the Veserithorn in their predictions. This feature is changeable to affect Future Prediction as a form of 'divination,' allowing Predictions to see the User in their Predictions but not predicting the future and instead trying to guess the choices and actions of the User (which will never match the prediction). Destiny will always be on the side of Veserithorn, even against a supposed 'destined one' or theoretical 'child of destiny' (after all, the true Child is the Veserithorn).]
''And so, I'm Immortal.'' He commented with an impassive look, reading the effects of his Title. ''I can't even think of anything more ridiculous than that... not that it's new; I've been alive for a year.'' He sighed as he moved on to the next line of information with a small smile.
[{Veserithorn Advantages(MAX)}:
Extreme benefit with the [Training and Enhancement Cycle] (+1,000% Training Speed) Extreme benefit with the [Study and Comprehension Cycle] (+1,000% Learning Speed) Extreme benefit with the [Battle and Death Cycle] (+1,000% Experience when killing enemies) The feats of the Veserithorn will spread much faster, beneficially (+1,000% Popularity after their first heroic act) The Energy Attribute will increase by [+2] each time a Status increases by [1]. High resistance to abnormal conditions due to Birth in the Void. Upon reaching Level 5/25/50/75/100, new EXTREME benefits will be unlocked. The mind of a Veserithorn cannot become arrogant. The mind of a Veserithorn is perfectly capable of enduring living for Eternity without going insane due to the Concepts from which the Veserithorn was generated.]
Vesper settled in the chair he was in after reading these Benefits that his Race gave him, causing some trivial concerns to vanish from his mind.
''Only three more 'pieces of information' to go~''
[{Elemental Affinity(MAX)}: Due to being born in the Void, the Veserithorn gained 'Null' Affinity, which does not make it 'less' or 'more' with the Elements, always making it 'nothing' when interacting with an element.(+)]
[(+): By always being 'nothing' during interaction with an Element (physical, visual, spiritual), the Element will behave as if it were in its natural environment when interacting with the Veserithorn, allowing the Veserithorn to control the Elements without any interference (one with the other).]
[{Lover of the Spiral(MAX)}: The Eccentric Spiral Energy Ego loves him deeply, as it considers him the only [Equal] to it due to his Origin.(+)]
[(+): +10,000% Affinity with [Spiral Energy] / +5,000% Experience in repeated Actions.]
''...Thank you?'' He responded confused, not knowing how to feel about this information.
In response to his sentence, a light breeze hit Vesper's body, causing his hair to swirl a bit.
[{Spiral Energy}: The primordial Energy that represents all [Cycles], as well as the power source behind actions made with [Courage], [Determination], enabling [Limit Overcoming].(+)] [(+): Allows the Veserithorn to control Spiral Energy in a different way from its other Bearers, being able to use it as various other types of Energy and not just limited to Objects and its own body.
This way, the Veserithorn can perform actions like using Elements or other powers with Spiral Energy, which can make such techniques stronger according to the initial concept behind it (the Energy). The greater the Understanding and Use of Spiral Energy, the more benefits will increase (extremely).]
''And with this, I'm done~'' He commented in a cheerful tone as he stretched, looking at the dark sky with his sunglasses.
Things escalated so ridiculously that he couldn't care anymore about reacting excessively to everything, especially when considering that things will escalate even more from here on out.
''I guess it's great to be unable to get arrogant; otherwise, I would already be calling my future self invincible and probably would go around doing things without thinking about the consequences...'' He murmured, feeling strange about it, but in the end, he decided to accept that it was better this way.
''With all the information acquired, is it okay to start the 'plan' now, System?'' He asked curiously.
The Plan he referred to was one of the hundreds of pieces of information that the System threw at him in those 20+ hours they spent talking. It was quite simple; they would use this [Small World] as a kind of training ground, allowing Vesper to grow and train properly for as long as necessary until he was minimally strong.
Vesper had already asked the System why not stay until he had his attributes at maximum, and the answer had been quite simple: there is a limit to how much a being can grow without experiencing/living, regardless of whether they trained for 10, 100, or 1,000,000 years.
Finding this logic very reasonable, Vesper didn't argue about it. He had only been alive for 1 year, and everything he knew came naturally as he lived, and if he learned something during that 1 year of life, it was that the information that came did not involve anything supernatural (except for the arrival of the System) but rather extremely basic information about words, objects, and various others. He couldn't use this to grow or master his powers.
[The Plan can be initiated whenever the User wishes.]
[Do you want to start the Plan?]
[Y/N]
Vesper gave a small smile before clicking [Y]; he was extremely curious about what he would see during this training time and how it would affect him. He sought fun and, in a way, self-evolution, and that's precisely what he would pursue.
[The [Small World] is being influenced by the System.]
[Destiny and the Spiral allowed the alteration of the [Small World].]
[The [Small World] has been altered.]
[Good luck.]
This was the last message he managed to read from the System before hearing a relatively loud howl in the distance, signaling the arrival of other life forms.
END.
-----
I like to talk and explain my reasons for writing certain things, so I will use this part for that purpose.
First and foremost, here are the meanings of certain names:
Race:
Vese: Inspired by "Vesica Piscis," a geometric symbol representing the intersection of two circles and symbolizing the connection between different worlds or planes.
Rithorn: Combination of "Ritual" and "Thorn," suggesting a mystical practice linked to spiral energy.
Thus, "Veserithorn" evokes the idea of a race with the ability to interconnect different aspects of existence through rituals and spiral energy.
Title:
"Spectral" emphasizes the mystical and ethereal nature of this individual, while "Divine Spiral" highlights their unique ability to manipulate primordial spiral energy, giving a sacred and powerful tone to their presence in the universe.
Name:
Vesper: Refers to the night or dusk, evoking a connection with the temporal cycle.
Chronothread: Blend of "chrono" (time) and "thread" (thread), indicating a manipulation of the threads of destiny in time.
Nebulaspiral: Combination of "nebula" (cosmic cloud) and "spiral" (spiral), suggesting a cosmic influence on the spiral of destiny.
Now, let me talk about other things I was interested in discussing.
I intend to maintain a 'slow' or 'medium' pace for this story, but at the same time, I don't want to write gigantic chapters because I personally dislike reading overly lengthy works with many chapters; I find them lose their appeal and become boring as the plot progresses.
At least, that's the case for most stories. Anyway, my point has been duly made. My writing is quite novice and may tend to meander because I often forget various things, but I'll do my best to minimize that.
The narrative will undoubtedly have some elements of 'Villain against Protagonist,' with the Fanfic's Protagonist playing the role of the Villain while 'horrible' things happen to certain protagonists from certain works (although I have no idea which world I will send the Protagonist to :p).
I'll do my best to implement this with genuinely good protagonists and avoid creating excessively uncomfortable scenes. The focus of the work is not to 'crush protagonists' but to create something fun involving the multiverse and more.
I dislike convoluted plots involving nonsense with trillions of powerful enemies appearing out of nowhere with no clear motive. Thus, I'll provide a precise explanation (or at least attempt to) for why a particular being appears when the time comes.
Finally, the protagonist will grow and develop (mentally and physically, even if the physical aspect is just to make him more attractive, lol) to gain a personality and become a good man, rather than who he currently is.
Everything he has done so far is based on the information he acquired over the year and his thoughts wandering as he spent that time ALONE in this small world. He is basically a baby with a mental capacity far above average, with no experience of ANYTHING.
So, even though he will try to act 'intelligent,' 'cold,' and 'not showing many emotions,' this obviously won't go as planned most of the time. I'll avoid making him emotionally embarrassed (in public) because I cringe a lot when embarrassing scenes involving the protagonist happen.
Just a heads-up so you know that he is not perfect and will make mistakes, even though he's not human. Maybe in the future, he'll become perfect? Who knows. But definitely not anytime soon.
Anyway, that's it. As I said, I like to chat, and I'll continue doing things at my own pace as I see fit. Below are the current 'buffs' that the protagonist has to facilitate understanding.
''+20,000% overall with Spiral Energy / +5,000% Experience in Repeated Action
+1,000% efficiency with Sacred Energies (+6,000% if repeated action)
+1,000% Training Speed (+6,000% if repeated action)
+1,000% Learning Speed (+6,000% if repeated action)
+1,000% Experience when killing Enemies (+6,000% if repeated action)
+1,000% Popularity after a heroic act (+6,000% if repeated action)
The Energy Attribute will increase by [+2] each time a Status increases by [1].''
