CHAPTER 1: Awakening
Full moon in night.
Ash opened his eyes in the new world.
He is standing on the city’s altar where he is feeling surprise and a very warm sensation in his body as if something is getting into his body.
He feels a sudden pain in his mind, a very big headache like a group of ants is chewing his brain simultaneously.
Few minutes later his pain in his mind extinguished and he feels some relief and fresh in his mind as if he is newborn, at this moment, his vision and eyesight enhance and his body feels stronger than before but he also feels fear because of pain, and many of his skin’s marks disappear from his body and his skin seems younger compared to his age.
he feels a wonderful feeling. now he has a genuine smile on his face after realizing his body appears younger.
Few minutes later, he is standing on the altar, he sees the altar shine with golden color 3 times with his eyes.
After,
He gets information from the altar city to his mind directly that is telling him that he is standing on the altar and he gets to know that he was summoned by this world of Eldros. He is now feeling a very sad emotion and regret in his life when he gets to know that he is summoned in the world of Eldros. And he never gets to meet his friends and parents and brother.
After Ash tried to remember the last memory of his life on the blue planet, he remembered, he died on the blue planet because a truck hit him.
He is feeling pain in his heart and mind and his heart is pumping fast and his mind is in shock and his eyes are feeling numb and tears trickle down from his eyes and it goes to his nose and goes into his cheeks and he is shouting loudly "mom" "mom"
And Ash is grabbing soil with his hand tightly from near the ground and tears are quickly flowing on his face and he is remembering his family and brothers, sisters and friends in his mind and imagining their picture in his mind.
He feels like an exhausted man who lost everything.
After 15 minutes later,
He controlled his emotion and he tried to recall why the truck hit him? After all, the place he was walking was not a route for vehicles, few minutes of deep thinking in his mind, he remembered in his blue planet's memory. He may have been killed by a criminal.
He remembered that he was a journalist on the blue planet, and he always wanted to become a successful reporter. He got an offer to do a sting operation from his boss where he was going to uncover a very big drug network that was making a lot of youth addicted in his country. He accepted the offer from the boss.
After he worked 6 months in his investigation with putting a lot of effort and he felt tired and many times he had to flee because of criminals, he got to know big names in drug business and politicians were also involved in drug and cocaine sales. Yesterday was the day he submitted his report to his boss that is CEO of a conglomerate of a big news and media group in the country. But he thinks now, he feels the CEO sold him to those criminals and politicians for personal gains and maybe some big scheme is involved.
Ash thinks deep in his mind with clenching his hand “what can I do to them in this new world.”
He stays silent for a few minutes in his mind with calm expression, after he thinks that “I should focus on this world.”
**
He tried to recall the information that the altar city provided him.
Few minutes later,
He recalled,
“Here every time world of Eldros summoned anyone across the universe to bond with city’s altar for defending habitable land of this world against another entity and Eldros world is fighting for its survival and this war is going on for a very long time.
This world has power to make humans live a long life, in this world various kinds of powerful and mysterious methods are used to kill people and used to fight war and protect themselves. He knows that he is bound with altar city and if altar city exists in this world he will live, if altar city is destroyed, he will die but his body will become cannon fodder for attacking another altar city in this world and he will become a mindless monster.”
Ash is sighing at his luck,
He thinks deep in his mind “what kind of luck he has, to transmigrate in this killing world where he can die anytime without burial. It really sucks to think that he can die without getting virgin tag out of his identity in this killing world after my unjust death.”
"This really sucks,” he said with irritate look.
He hopes that he will get some power to survive in this killing world, as a human with a fragile body.
He cries in a loud voice on the altar “Give me some compensation to survive in this world.”
A moment later, he feels city altar shine brightly. An information comes into his mind.
Now he get to know that every new altar owner gets a chance to choose an ability ball from this world’s treasury.
He feels surprised and immense joy in this information, because, he thinks in his mind that “everything that can increase my power will be welcome by me with open arms, and I do not want to be a loser in this world after seeing cruelty in his previous life.”
After, He gets to know that
“These ability balls will become passive ability of altar after fusing with altar city. It will help altar city to grow in this world.”
Few seconds later,
He is teleported to a mysterious room where he feels some pain because of teleportation and few second later , his pain vanish and he feels surprise and confuse then he sees lots of shiny balls with different colors are available in the place but distant from each other.
He is feeling surprise and ecstatic after seeing those various ability balls, he tries to see all the places in this mysterious Place but this mysterious place feels like it has infinite space to him, in this place various ability balls exist very distant from each other and he can’t see an exit in this place after spending hours to see various mysterious ability balls here and there.
A mysterious prompt comes into his mind.
A window pops up in front of him.
…….
…………..
Mysterious room closed in: 10 mins
……………..
……………………..
Ash sees this pop-up, he panic for a moment, then he quickly starts to search for an ability ball to pick because if he exits the mysterious room without getting an ability ball then his city altar will not be able to gain passive ability, that will make his altar city very weak compared to other altar city’s peers. And he also thinks his abilities to survive in this world depend on his altar city so in any circumstances he will not make his altar city weak intentionally.
After 5 minutes of searching, he finally finds the ability ball, that ability ball looks quite mysterious to him, it is emitting extremely dark green color and this green color ray is giving him a feeling of freshness and all his tiredness vanishes in the thin air.
Here he feels some resonance between him and this ability ball, as if his mind and heart are saying you are made for each other but he ignore those feeling but after some few considerations in his mind.
Few seconds later, he caught the green ball with his hands and the green ball was in the hand of him and he feels this green ball is very warm and he feels a kind of different strength holding the green ball in his hand that he never felt before,
Like he can do anything in this world and he thinks “ I am feeling illusion because of the power of the green ball or this mysterious treasure room.”
He comes back to altar city where he sees in his hand that the ability ball is trying to get out of his hand but he is tightly holding the ability ball with his full strength. Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Few seconds later, altar city shines again and he gets new information.
That is, altar city needs to fuse with the ability ball now.
So, he slowly opens his fingers of the hand that is holding the ability ball.
A few seconds later, he sees with surprise look on his face, the ability ball rushed to the core of altar city because of this, the temperature of that area is rising, he can feel this afar from the core area so, he goes far from the core.
Few minutes later, Ash gets a new prompt in front of his eyes.

20 minutes later,
A new pop-up window comes into his mind.
