Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The System’s Outlier
The sky above him shifted in an endless spectrum of colors—violet storms clashing with golden clouds, crimson rivers flowing through the air like liquid fire. Below, a landscape stretched infinitely, defying any logic he once knew.
Floating in this surreal world, the realization finally sank in.
He had no race. No physical form. No defined existence.
And yet, the world around him reacted to his presence.

His eyes narrowed. The Infinite Ascension ability stood out. From what he understood, most people gained abilities based on their race, class, and rarity. But he had something that transcended the normal growth limits.
Was this a blessing? Or a curse?
Before he could reflect further, a new notification appeared.

[WORLD SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT]
[ Divine Systems have been assigned! ]
[ All transmigrants will now begin their journey. ]
[ Your first mission: Survive and establish dominance. ]
[ WARNING: Hostile beings already exist in this realm. You are not alone. ]
[ Good luck. ]

"Not alone?"
A heavy pressure suddenly filled the air. The sky darkened, and an overwhelming sense of presence washed over him.
And then—
BOOM!
The ground below shattered.
A massive figure emerged—a towering beast, at least 100 meters tall, with multiple writhing limbs and a body made of shifting, obsidian-like material.
Its eyes—dozens of them—locked onto him with pure hunger.
[ World Beast Detected! ]
[ Designation: Abyssal Devourer ]
[ Rarity: Mythical+ ]
[ Power Level: 10-Star | Tier 1 ]
His mind raced. This wasn't fair.
Most players had probably spawned in safe zones—small towns, beginner settlements, or areas where they could slowly adapt.
But he had been thrown straight into the territory of a Mythical-class monster.
And worse—
He had no idea how to fight.

[Global Chat]
[Player 51,902,783]: Yo, I just got born as a "Rare" rank vampire! I can already drain people's blood, lmao.
[Player 4]: I started in a safe town. Anyone else nearby? We should team up.
[Player 11]: If you didn't get at least "Epic," you're basically an NPC.
[Player 2]: Who else got "Legendary"? We might be the strongest players in this world.
[Player 51,902,783]: LOL who's already dying?
Player ???: I spawned in front of a Mythical+ monster.
[Player 11]: Bullshit. No one would get a spawn that unfair.
Player ???: I think the system is broken.
[Player 4]: LMAO RIP

He ignored the chat. Right now, he had bigger problems.
The Abyssal Devourer lunged at him. Its massive claw, sharp enough to split mountains, came crashing down—
BOOOOM!
A shockwave of destruction spread outwards, splitting the earth apart.
But he was still alive.
Because—
He wasn't solid.
The monster's claw had passed straight through his shifting form, as if he were made of air.
A realization hit him.
His body wasn't bound by normal physics.
He wasn't limited by mass, density, or even a fixed shape.

[STATUS UPDATE]
[ New Ability Discovered: ]
[Adaptive Existence] – Your form is fluid and can shift according to necessity. Physical attacks are ineffective unless you choose to solidify.
---
A slow smile formed.
He was literally untouchable unless he willed himself otherwise.
Which meant—
The Abyssal Devourer had no way to kill him.
But he had infinite time to figure out how to kill it.
---
Testing His Powers
He focused, trying to will his form into something more solid. Immediately, his body began shifting—flickering between forms.
A giant claw.
A humanoid shape.
A swirling vortex of energy.
And then—
Something clicked in his mind.
---
[New Ability Discovered]
[Conceptual Manipulation (Limited)] – The ability to partially shape reality based on your will.
---
The moment the notification appeared, his body morphed into something resembling a massive spear—pure energy, vibrating with unimaginable force.
And then—
He struck.
The Abyssal Devourer shrieked as his attack pierced straight through its obsidian-like body. A gaping hole formed, black liquid spilling out like molten tar.
It wasn't dead.
But it was wounded.
And for the first time, it looked afraid.
He grinned.
This world had thrown him into an impossible situation.
But now?
Now, he was starting to like it.
