Unrivaled in another world

[: Daniel POV :]

My jaw nearly dropped as the system's message kept unfolding before me, each word heavier than the last.

The Forbidden Continent.

A land erased from history.

A place so cursed, so dangerous, even gods had turned their backs on it.

"…Of all damn places…" I whispered, staring at the horizon where silver rivers coiled like serpents and floating mountains churned in slow defiance of gravity.

Monsters that could destroy cities with a breath?

A realm where the Gate Calamities broke reality?

I should've been afraid. I knew I should have. Everything the system just told me screamed death, doom, and despair.

But instead…

I laughed.

Quietly at first. A dry, disbelieving chuckle that slipped through my lips like a crack in a dam.

Then it grew—deeper, rougher, more alive.

I looked up to the fire-lit sky, wind brushing past my face, and I couldn't help it.

"…You've got to be kidding me."

The world threw me into the one place no one comes back from—alone, with my body still aching, my mind barely pieced together—and yet, deep inside me, something stirred.

A thrill.

A hunger.

A spark.

After everything I'd endured, everything I'd been broken by—I was finally awakened.

I clenched my fists, feeling the quiet hum of power in my veins.

It wasn't chaotic, not unstable like before.

It was balanced..Likee, I had become one with something deeper than blood.

This was what had been sleeping inside me all this time.

This was me.

"…Alright then," I muttered, cracking my neck as I took my first solid step across the luminous ground.

"Let's see what you've got, Forbidden Continent."

I glanced toward the looming shadows in the far-off valleys. I could sense them—behemoths, their auras massive and wild, older than kingdoms.

They were waiting.

And I was done running.

"This place wants to devour me?" I said, smirking. "Let it try."

Because once I get out of here...I will have my revenge. 

"I swear… on every scar you gave me," I whispered into the wind, voice burning like steel forged in vengeance, "Velroth… I'll tear your whole family apart."

"And the slave merchants?" My eyes narrowed. "I'll erase your very existence. From kingdoms to caverns, every last one of you will fall."

No more chains.

No more collars.

No more stolen lives.

Now…

Let the hunt begin...

But before that, I need to learn about my powers. 

I still don't know what I'm capable of just yet. 

''System, can you give me a detailed explanation about my awakening powers, and I need to review my stats''

The flood of information hit me like a storm.

My eyes darted across the glowing text, the words flashing in front of me as they seemed to sink into the depths of my mind, like ancient secrets being etched into my very soul.

I could feel it...each skill, each form, each ability resonating through my body, setting my veins alight with raw power.

I could sense their potential, their implications… but I couldn't quite grasp how they all fit together.

The words echoed in my mind, their meanings reverberating in ways that seemed… impossible.

How could something like this even exist? I stood there, frozen, staring at the glowing screen of the system.

Eyes of Calamity. Abyssal Core. Indomitable Destruction.

It was like I had just unlocked the very blueprint of destruction itself.

The skills weren't just powerful—they were primal, fundamental forces that could bend reality to my will.

Annihilation, Oblivion, Destruction...the very fabric of existence seemed to be at my disposal.

And the forms… I couldn't even begin to wrap my head around them. True Cataclysm Form, Apocalyptic Form, End of Epoch…

What in the world is all of this?

I wasn't an idiot to know that the meaning of locked means that there must be something that I need to do in order to unlock it. 

But still...this is just too insane. 

I could feel them...these abilities, these immense powers—already pulsating inside me, yearning to be used.

I could see the images, the visions, the endless possibilities that came with each skill and form.

Abyssal Core would make me a god of destruction, raising my stats to untold levels, and regenerating my life force with terrifying speed.

Incredible.

Indomitable Destruction made me the embodiment of ruin.

Manipulating the very essence of decay, collapse, and annihilation at will. I can bring down worlds with a thought.

But it wasn't just the destructive power that shocked me.

Eyes of Calamity, Reverse Cataclysm, Apocalyptical Form—they were more than skills.

I staggered slightly, trying to catch my breath, as my body hummed with the overwhelming energy coursing through me.

"How... how can something like this even exist?" I whispered aloud, struggling to process the vastness of what I had just unlocked.

I could feel the answers, the understanding of these abilities, being fed into my mind, overwhelming my senses with their details.

End of Epoch—A skill to end everything, even time itself.

One command, one word, and I could bring the end to all things.

And then, there were the Conqueror and Void skills—those were different.

They were… about mastery, about power over all.

Authority Over All, World Tyrant, Void Erasure.

To bend space, time, and reality itself, to shape the world and everything in it.

The magnitude of these powers made me feel small.

And yet, there was no fear.

Only awe.

Awe and a sense of destiny.

"Am I truly... this powerful now?" I muttered, the air around me vibrating with raw energy.

But then, the question came. Why now? Why was I given this power? Why was I brought here?

I knew that I had chosen the powers, and I was somehow lucky that the system chose me. 

But still...it's hard to believe that I am destruction itself. 

I shook my head, focusing once again on the task at hand.

The promise I had made.

"Fine," I muttered, cracking my neck as I took my first solid step across the luminous ground. "Let's see what you've got, Forbidden Continent."

I glanced toward the looming shadows in the far-off valleys.

I could sense them...behemoths, their auras massive and wild, older than kingdoms.

They were waiting.

And I was done running.

"This place wants to devour me?" I said, smirking. "Let it try."

Because once I get out of here...I will have my revenge.
