One of the gods tore through space with his arm. Once they passed through the rift, Kayden found himself floating in a space very similar to the one before. The only difference was that they were in a space with much more mana.
Practically a density of over 100 thousand times, it was so much mana that Kayden felt suffocated for the first time in his life. His spiritual sense, which reached over 1000 kilometers, was only at a small margin of 100.
"I hate pocket systems, they are so poor", one of the gods said and the other agreed. This time, they were speaking a different language. Kayden wasn’t able to understand and just continued cultivating with the new mana.
As he cultivated without a care in the world, the two gods escorting him stood frozen in midair without moving. They felt the presence of someone far superior to their existence.
A huge dragon several tens of kilometers long was floating in front of the two. Any god who didn’t live in isolation knew who he was: the Luck Dragon, the deputy leader of the dragons and one of the strongest gods alive.
"Boy", the dragon’s voice came out without him opening his mouth. It was dragging and seemed to carry the weight of eternity. "How long has it been since the last ascension?" The dragon spent a long time still in its master’s bubble.
All because a voice appeared out of nowhere and surprised him and his master. Neither of them had made a move for several years, more specifically since Kayden found his way. But the dragon was here only by a twist of fate, more specifically because Kayden had too many strands of karma about him.
"Approximately three centuries, Your Divinity." The dragon was surprised, it was just a blink of an eye.
"Child, wake up." He placed his mana on Kayden. He expected a scare and a fearful reaction, but he only saw a lack of emotions and dead eyes. Kayden didn’t speak a word as he looked at the dragon.
The God of Luck thought it was a state of fear. He withdrew his aura to the maximum and did not let any sign of divinity come out of him. The other two gods only realized now that they hadn’t done this yet, which meant that Kayden was unaffected by their divine auras.
"To be carried away by the council’s executioners, you’re in a pretty bad situation. I can offer you a way out." Kayden couldn’t see through the dragon’s words.
"Speak your proposal, Dragon God," Kayden replied in a neutral and respectful tone. His speech surprised the three gods; mortals were not proactive in their presence.
"I have a world called the Universal Coliseum. It is immense and accommodates mages of different kingdoms and ranks. All nations are at war. There is a system that manages points and popularity for each person inside. Everyone has their lives transmitted to the universal network at all times. It’s practically a big entertainment stage."
For most of the universe, that was it, considering that in one of the areas, only mages of the ninth realm were allowed and they were constantly warring. This made it a unique display in the entire universe.
It was one of the most profitable events in the diachronic race. The universe was so big that even the most mediocre participant had a few hundred billion viewers, and this whole situation was made so that the Dragon of Luck could study the luck and misfortune of mortals.
"Okay, I accept. Won’t the council come after me?" Kayden responded with a neutral mana. He hadn’t even heard the advantages or disadvantages, but it was undoubtedly better than dying for the advice. The Dragon God’s surprise was so quick that not even the two gods noticed.
"No, I have the power to do that." The dragon was telling the truth. With the dragon’s words, Kayden decided to gain a little encouragement.
"Can you do me just one small favor? I have a cat attached to me on planet Earth. Can you put it with me on the planet?" Kayden asked with a boldness that neither of the two head-down gods would ever have in their lives.
"This favor will be called for in the future," the dragon said and Kayden turned to the two gods.
"Lord God Wolf and Sheep, can you pass a message on to Merlin, please?" Kayden didn’t give them time to respond. "Merlin, do everything in your power to kill me. Look for me in the ends of the universe, because when I come looking for you, I will have the strength to remove your head."
Kayden didn’t care about Merlin. He understood the god’s actions, he just needed to have external pressure to reach even greater heights. Psychological pressure would always be good.
"Now sleep, child. You will wake up with a new language and a system of your own." With the dragon’s speech, Kayden lost consciousness. "Both of you cut this situation out of your memories." The dragon said in an authoritative tone.
The two gods obeyed without even thinking twice. A piece of his memories was directly cut off by a high-level spell. They played both pieces of memory at the same time as they turned off their consciousness. The Dragon God erased the memories and disappeared along with Kayden.
A planet as large as the solar system was floating in space, rotating on its axis without moving in any direction. Several artificial suns and moons were present so that the planet would have the necessary conditions for life.
At one of these points, there was a huge expanse of land. This particular part saw two moons and a sun during the day and only one moon at night, with days and nights lasting 18 hours each. Within this expanse of land was a cave, located in one of the weakest areas in terms of mages’ strength. Inside it was a person with black hair cut close to the scalp and completely dark eyes.
He had just sat down and had a massive headache as he tried to understand the large chunks of information about the language he had been given. It was one of the most complex languages he had ever seen in his entire life.
"Hey! Master Kayden Heart!" A cute voice along with a fairy appeared next to Kayden. The boy didn’t react; If it was an enemy, he would already be dead. "I will begin the presentation protocol."
"Make no mistake, you are not the protagonist, you are not special. This is just a world for the universe to enjoy. Your movements and actions will be recorded and transmitted at all times. Kill, steal, or destroy civilizations, you are free, but public support can be the difference in your life in this place." The fairy was quiet after that, waiting for Kayden to say something.
"Yes." Kayden thought this presentation was pretty poor.
"How do I access the system? What are its main features?"
"You just need to think and it will appear in front of you, only you can see it." Kayden did as the fairy said and saw a blue screen appear in front of him with various information. "It estimates your age and places you in a star category, namely SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F. Each of these levels has some advantages, whether in the world or outside it. Information from abroad about what happens here is prohibited, but techniques and some resources are allowed."
"How do I increase them?" Kayden saw a tab telling viewers it was in the two billion, a ridiculously large number.
"Gain an audience and raise donations for the Dragon Kingdom. How you do it doesn’t matter."
Kayden saw an area designated as a map. He found himself in a huge space of land, with the rest of the map in dark colors. The information that appeared on the map indicated that only people below the sixth realm were present.
"You can close the life for a few hours, but this is harmful to your ranking. The world is constantly filled with treasures and powerful monsters. There is only one universal law: not to cause mass genocide against the original populations of this planet." Kayden was quiet as he looked at the rest of the information.
There was an inventory tab, but nothing that was on her space earring seemed to count. Another tab showed their titles; at the moment, there was only the rookie one. Something very characteristic of RPG was also present, with a chat and guild tab available at all times, regardless of distance.
Kayden decided to put all of this aside and began to feel the mana around him. The density was ridiculously high, approaching 10,000 times that of its original planet. At this moment, he also felt something that he had already forgotten.
"Felix, you bum, wake up." Kayden kicked the cat and saw the animal dodge at the last second and meow at him.
