A clear blue sky suddenly distorts, crackling with golden energy. The air hums with an ominous vibration as a colossal rift tears open. Swirling galaxies, burning nebulas, and countless celestial formations appear beyond the cracks. Massive portals shimmer into existence over cities across the globe
"On that day, the world changed forever."
People on the streets stare in awe and horror as shadows descend from the portals. Towering figures with radiant auras, monstrous demons with burning eyes, and ancient celestial warriors emerge, stepping into the mortal world. A thunderous roar shakes the land as a dragon, its scales shimmering like molten gold, coils through the sky, blotting out the sun.
News Broadcast (on a TV screen in a crowded electronics store):
"Breaking news! Strange entities have appeared across the globe--"
(Before the anchor can finish, a massive explosion erupts as a titanic creature--an armored behemoth with molten veins--slams its fist into a skyscraper. The building crumbles like sand, and people scream as debris rains down.)
Chaos Unleashed
A crowded intersection in Shanghai. Akash's young man in his early twenties, stands frozen, his reflection visible in the shattered glass of a nearby store window. His black hair is tousled, and his sharp eyes widen as he sees the destruction unfolding before him.
A piercing shriek fills the air as a winged beast with obsidian feathers and glowing red eyes swoops down. Cars flip over as the creature’s wings send shockwaves through the streets.
Akash (whispers):
"This… this isn’t real, right?"
(His voice is drowned out as a group of armored warriors, their golden armor gleaming, descended from the portals above. Each carries a weapon pulsing with divine energy. One of them--a tall figure with glowing blue eyes--speaks in a deep, commanding voice.)
"Mortals! The era of isolation ends today! The Great Convergence has begun!"
With a flick of his hand, a surge of golden light erupts, turning a nearby tank into dust. Soldiers open fire, but the bullets dissolve before reaching their targets.
The streets are overrun with creatures of all kinds--shadowy specters slipping between alleyways, giants covered in armor, and elemental beings made of fire and ice. Police officers and military units attempt to fight back, but their weapons prove useless against beings far beyond human comprehension.
In the distance, a colossal serpent coils around a skyscraper, its emerald eyes glowing with ancient wisdom.
Amid the chaos, a young girl cries, separated from her family. A flaming wolf lunges toward her, its fangs bared. Just as it’s about to strike, a hooded figure appears, slashing through the beast with an ethereal blade.
Akash watches, his fists clenched. Fear battles with something deeper inside him--a strange sensation, as if something inside him is awakening.
The sky rumbles again as another wave of beings descends. Among them, a group of robed sages floats gracefully, their eyes glowing with cosmic power. One of them gazes at Akash as if seeing something within him no one else can.
Akash breathes heavily, his heart pounding. The world as he knew it had ended. But in its place, something new has begun.)l
"And so, the world merged with the realms of the divine, the monstrous, and the unknown… ushering in an era where mortals and legends would clash, and the fate of all existence would be rewritten."
To be continued ....
Akash stands in the ruins of his city, gripping his weapon, breathing heavily. The corpse of the demon he just killed is beside him, he looks exhausted from the battle .
Akash (thoughts):
"I really absorbed its power... this system is real!"...
Suddenly, the ground shakes as a giant shadow looms over him. A towering Demonic Lord steps forward, his crimson eyes glowing.
Demonic Lord:
"You... a mere mortal, killed my soldier?"
The Demonic Lord raises his hand. The air vibrates with intense demonic energy, forming a dark sphere.
"This pressure... I can't even move!" Akash thought,
The demonic energy se launches toward Akash
The Demonic Lord raises his hand. The air vibrates with intense demonic energy, forming a dark sphere.
Akash(thoughts, nervously):
"This pressure... I can't even move!"
The demonic energy sphere launches toward Akash at blinding speed.
Just before impact, the system panel appears with a new option.
System Message:
• Emergency Skill Unlocked: Shadow Step Allows instant movement to avoid attacks.
Akash's body reacts instinctively, and he vanishes, reappearing behind the Demonic Lord.
Akash grips his metal pipe tightly and swings at the Demonic Lord's head.
Akash said
"Take this!"
The weapon shatters on impact, barely scratching the Demonic Lord, like nothing happened.
The Demonic Lord smirks and backhands Luo Zung, sending him flying into a collapsed building.
Demonic Lord said
"Pathetic. You're not even worth killing."
Akash coughs up blood, his vision blurring, but a notification appears.
System Message:
Pain Threshold Unlocked: The more you endure, the stronger your will becomes.
• Absorption Technique is still active-demonic energy detected.
As Akash lies injured, he suddenly feels a surge of energy rushing through his body.
Akash was shocked
"I... I can feel his energy flowing into me?!"
His wounds start healing rapidly, his body adapting to the demonic aura.
System Message:
Partial Demonic Resistance Acquired!
The Demonic Lord frowns, sensing the change in Akash.
Demonic Lord:
"Impossible... no human should be able to absorb my energy!" How can you absorb the energy.
Akash smirks, gripping his fists as black lightning crackles around him.
Akash rises to his feet, his body still aching but stronger than before.
Akash:
"Looks like I'm not as weak as you thought."
The Demonic Lord growls, preparing another attack, but before he can strike, a mysterious figure appears as a cultivator from another world.
Mysterious Cultivator:
"That's enough. This boy is mine now."
The Demonic Lord glares but steps back because he can sense a powerful force from him .
Demonic Lord:
"Tch. You got lucky, human. Next time, you die."
The Demonic Lord vanishes into the shadows, leaving Akash staring at the newcomer.Akash was very anxious to know that who saved him from the hideous and scary creature
Akash:
"Who... are you?"
He was very confused about him,
The cultivator smirks, his robes flowing in the wind.
Mysterious Cultivator told him :
"Someone who will teach you how to survive in this new world."
(To be continued).....
^
Akash stands before the mysterious cultivator who had just saved him from the Demonic Lord. The air around this man feels different—calm yet overwhelmingly powerful.
Akash (thoughts):
"Who is this guy? He made that demon retreat without even fighting. Just who... no, what is he?"
The mysterious cultivator studies Akash with a smirk, his piercing eyes gleaming with interest.
Mysterious Cultivator told :
"You've already absorbed demonic energy? Interesting. You might just survive."
Without another word, he turns and starts walking away.
Akash:
"Wait! Who are you?"
The man stops but doesn't turn around.
Mysterious Cultivator:
"If you want answers, follow me."
Akash hesitates for a moment, glancing back at the ruined battlefield behind him. He clenches his fists, steeling himself before following the man into the ruins.
The Hidden Base
The mysterious cultivator leads Akash through a series of underground tunnels, eventually arriving at a massive underground base. Inside, a group of survivors—warriors, archers, and cultivators—are training, wielding weapons and performing powerful techniques. Energy hums in the air.
Two figures step forward to confront the newcomer.
Karan:
(A muscular young man with a cross-shaped scar on his chest, his arms folded.)
"So this is the newbie? Looks weak to me."
Subham:*
(A calm, intelligent-looking guy adjusting his glasses.)
"If Master brought him here, he must have some potential."
Akash glares at Karan, clenching his fists.
Akash:
"Say that again, and I'll prove you wrong."
Karan smirks and cracks his knuckles.
Karan:
"Then show me what you got!"
The Sparring Match Begins
Akash and Karan step into a sparring arena inside the underground base. A crowd of cultivators gathers around, eager to see the fight.
The mysterious cultivator speaks up.
Mysterious Cultivator:
"Rules are simple—no killing. First one to land three solid hits wins."
The moment the words leave his mouth, Karan lunges forward with incredible speed, throwing a powerful punch at Akash.
Akash (thoughts, shocked):
"He's fast!"
He barely dodges, but the force of the punch creates a gust of wind that pushes him back. Karan wastes no time, throwing another attack. Akash dodges again but starts to realize something.
Akash (thoughts):
"Wait... I have a skill! Time to use it!"
Activating Shadow Step, Akash vanishes and reappears behind Karan, landing a solid punch on his back.
The crowd gasps.
Crowd:
"He hit Karan?!
Karan stumbles slightly but then grins.
Karan:
"Not bad... but let’s see if you can handle this!"
He channels spiritual energy into his fists, preparing a devastating attack. A New Path Begins.
Before Karan can strike, the mysterious cultivator steps in, stopping the fight.
Mysterious Cultivator:
"That's enough. Akash, you pass. From now on, you train with us."
Akash breathes heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead. His body aches, but his spirit burns with newfound determination.
Subham:
"Congratulations, Akash. Welcome to the Path of Cultivation."
Akash looks up, his eyes filled with resolve.
Akash (thoughts):
"This is just the beginning. I will become powerful—stronger than ever before!"
