The End occasionally will be called a new beginning. It's supposed to be his new beginning. Instead, he was in a room.

The room could be said fancy. Expensive paintings were hanged, the walls are made from rainbow-colored metal, and a wooden desk that felt mystical. He sat on the chair, while there are two creatures standing behind the desk. One of them is stressed while the other is calm.

[Can I just ask what happened? Player]

The first one to talk was a buff bipedal owl wearing a tuxedo. He said it with a calm voice while the other creature is banging his head to the desk.

"What do you mean?" The player questioned at the owl's words.

[What!?! What do you mean you said 'What do you mean'?] The stressed creature put his hands on the table and glared at the player.

The creature is a white-skinned humanoid figure. He doesn't have a face and wearing a suit. It reminded the player of slenderman.

[YOU SPEND A Millenium in a tutorial world. Why!?! Why would you do that?] The faceless snapped, he tried to make an expression questioning Altuos entire existence from his faceless face.

The raged creature got a pat on the back from the owl. He whispered to the faceless beside him.

[I apologize for my boss's behavior.] He bowed slightly to the player.

"It's fine, just explain to me what's going on." Altous accepted the apology and put his hand on the back of his head.

[My name's Uterus, I'm the lawyer of this man] He pointed at his boss who has a look ready to kill someone.

Altous merely nodded in response.

[Do you know why worlds from games special?]

"I know, it's the NPC and the nature of the game" He responded Uterus question while recalling his memories.

[Correct, we need to apply restrictions and changes to everything because it must be identical. Let me explain.]

Unlike other types of fiction, games are technically limited. The game world never exists since it has different laws of physics. One example of it is characters. Characters in games and has a set of instructions they need to do. Such as a farmer NPC will be coded to farm. Other fictions whether it be anime, manga, light novel, and TV. They have no restrictions, they are only limited to the author's creativity.

Minecraft the world Altous chose. Has many problems. One such example is the 'infinite' world. To counter that problem, they make the world a different dimension. After you finished the world's quest then we're going to recreate your world perfectly. While they could let it be a dimension, they have to pay an immense amount of upkeep.

After Uterus explained he continued his talk.

[It's my client's fault that this happened.]

Altuos brows perked up at his explanation. His mind working a possible explanation. Old information and new information merged. Lawyer. Contract. Recreation. Fake. Every single clue is His face is smirking.

"I died right?" He hypothesized. The contract that the player mustn't be killed by the game is absolute.

[Almost. The body that was provided by the system was destroyed.]

The body that the system provided was supposed to be used from the tutorial. The body was special, it's able to increase your physique overall at a slow pace. But due to certain conditions, the game didn't do it. So the growth that happens during the tutorial retains.

But what happened when an object temperature goes from 0 to 1000. It explodes. The game needs to brute force Altuos growth to his new body. The game's interference is already too much that the system will detect it and make a report.

[You see, I'm a top streamer, by the name of Bighetti] The game took over his lawyer conversation. He managed to be calm and sit down on his seat.

Altous responded with a nod, urging him to continue.

[We didn't make the system. They're distributed by the Apotheosis Regulation.]

Apotheosis a term of ascending to become a god. His interest skyrocketed after hearing that word. His heart is beating wildly. An old smile appeared on his face after a long time. A smile that he misses. A smile that he always has during his childhood. A smile that screamed determination.

[Damnit, I hate reading your mind. Yes, you're right. This is just a ritual for you and another system user, a tournament to have a chance to become one of us.] Bighetti sighed in defeat. He truly hates reading his mind. Even though he only met Altous twice.

[The contract was made by the Apotheosis Regulation to regulate streamers, so they couldn't rig the ritual and ruining the player's chance.]

[Before that, they only distribute it randomly. But someone had an idea to stream the player's progress. Thus the creation of the job streamer. They make unique challenges for the player instead of the auto-generated by the system.] Uterus explained the summary of the streamers.

Altuos didn't care at all about the backstory. He wants to get back and completes the challenge. He will, no, he must blackmail them to give him an advantage against other streamers. While Bighetti is a top streamer meaning he has rivals that want to see his career burn. They probably will help him sue Bighetti. But he has no desire to be someone else tool, he rather makes others as his tool. Even though this is caused by him, he doesn't care at all.

Two long sighs resounded the room.

[Fine, what do you want?] said Bighetti with disdain. As an Ascended being overcoming many trials. It hurt his pride in being able to do nothing.

"Information and the gacha."

[What do you want me to do about the gacha] He understood about his first request since information is essential if you want to survive.

He only needs to read Altous' mind to know what he wants.

[Uterus] commanded Bighetti at his lawyer.

With a snap of his wing, a mystical paper appeared on the desk. Altous immediately read it carefully.

A satisfied smile and a signature were needed to start his new beginning.
