Korea?

For all that i was, I never was a true believer of worldly Mystiques, Of Gods and devils. But reality is not as I was accustomed to it. death was real, After life was real, souls do exist, Parallel realities existed and even multiverse was true.

I remember not much, but surely I was given an option, not as a mode of entertainment, not due to some God's blessing, not due to any righteous work of mine, just simply on a whim.

A whim of one of the beings that could create and destroy in every single of their breaths. I remember being there, in a awe of an existence far mightier than me, that could truly be called as tree of life as the tree of multiverse.. a being that held universes in its arms and there were many.

I was frozen, to believe I was an insignificant man living in an insignificant world.. why would they be there for us.. why would religions matter, why would we pray to them. My mind was messed up. cause I now knew they were there, but also that for them we nothing not even worth what a pathogen would be to us.

still amongst the tuft of beings I was given an opportunity, to be somewhere I wished to, to be someone I could be. To be a man that is spoken as a legend, to be a king, to be a God myself.

And all I did was accept, for it would be wrong not to. I do not know if there were any other souls that ever had this opportunity or if it was only me. the sole thing I knew I could not give up.

And then I felt the suction, the pull that snatched me from the embrace of death and to this new reality.

A wormhole was ahead of me and behind there was tuft of these almighty beings, I knew I was leaving to somewhere, I could begone any moment, my existence was that fickle or i could be someone.. in the last of thoughts I felt another pull, I looked back and saw one of those Almighty beings with a smile. A smile that promised a gift, it could be for some other reason or cause but in that moment I was not someone that could do anything.

In the end I accepted it all, as a devout believer in karma I knew every action has a reaction. And not even these beings could ignore the karmic ties.

...........................,...............

I was reborn in South Korea, not the Korea of my old world but in a world where dungeons and gates were a common every day thing, where hunters existed and where strength dictated authority.

This world was mystical in it own ways , though I should probably be happy i was reborn in modern world and not in Mediaeval times.

Magic was a common thing here and people that could use it were called as awakened, the hunters. that would go into the gates and destroy the beasts that lived inside of them.

In past there have been many dungeon breaks, where the monsters would come out and kill humanity just for the fun of it. But one that hit me was the first opening of a S rank gate, which bought upon a dragon named as kamish, a destroyer, who laid destruction upon the West Coast of America and killed hundred of S ranked hunters. The existence of kamish , the in real version of igneel i should say made me realise where I was. and the realisation was not good.

This was the world of "I level up solo" better say "solo levelling", a world where death's skeletal hands did not even need to reach humans before they would die. A dangerous world in its wake, a world meant to be solely ruled by the successor of Ashborn, sung jin-woo.

I deny being a weak man in this reality too, for I have seen what weakness is like , I yearn for strength. I shall be the strongest in this universe and for all that are to come.
