A deep, suffocating darkness pressed against him. There was no sound, no air, no feeling—just an endless void stretching beyond comprehension. Then, a single ripple of light cut through the abyss, followed by an overwhelming sensation of existence.
Ding!
[ Welcome, Transmigrants of Neutren. ]
[ 100,000,000,000 beings successfully transported. ]
A flood of voices echoed in his mind. Panic, confusion, excitement—it was a cacophony of emotions, all overlapping, all coming from people who had been thrown into this world just like him. He wasn't alone.
Yet, something was wrong.
As his consciousness fully awakened, he expected to feel a body—hands, feet, a heartbeat. Instead, he felt nothing. Or rather, he felt everything.
Something was off.
Then, another chime rang in his mind.
Ding!
[ Error detected. Identifying existence… ]
[ Analyzing soul structure… ]
[ Classification: UNKNOWN. ]
[ System unable to assign race. ]
His vision suddenly exploded with information. A status window materialized before him, unlike anything he had ever seen.

His mind blanked for a moment.
He wasn't assigned a race? That was impossible. Every other player should have been reborn as something—whether human-like or monstrous. Even the lowest-ranked individuals should have been classified as Normal or Common beings.
Yet, he had no classification.
And that wasn't the only problem.
Most people started at 1-Star Tier 0, the absolute beginning of the power scale. A genius might be born as 3-Star or even 5-Star, and a few lucky individuals might even start as 10-Star, granting them a massive advantage.
But he was 10-Star from the start.
Something was seriously wrong with his existence.

[GLOBAL CHAT ENABLED]
Before he could process his situation, messages flooded the Global Chat.
[Player 7,498,283,021]: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! I was just eating dinner, and now I'm a freaking stone golem?!
[Player 51,902,783]: Why am I a giant centipede?! This is some nightmare bullshit!
[Player 2,184]: My rarity is "Uncommon." Is that good? Someone help!
[Player 11]: If you're below "Rare," you're basically trash. GG, idiots.
[Player 4]: Anyone else see these power rankings? What's the highest rarity someone has?
[Player 2]: I got "Legendary"! Haha, suck it! I'm already stronger than 99.99999% of you!
His eyes narrowed. The first-ranked player wasn't talking. Was that because they had something even higher?
He didn't even know what his own rarity was. Would it be higher than Legendary? Or was he just some kind of glitch in the system?

[WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT]
Before the chat could spiral further, a massive golden text appeared across everyone's vision.
[ Congratulations, Transmigrants! ]
[ You have all been given a fresh start in a new world. Your potential is limitless, and your fate is yours to decide. ]
[ Rarity determines your potential. ]
[ Stars, Tiers, and Ranks determine your growth. ]
[ Your Army determines your influence. ]
[ Survive. Conquer. Ascend. ]
[ Welcome to the Infinite Realm. ]
A blinding light engulfed him, and before he could even react, he felt himself being pulled—ripped from the void and thrown into a new world.

A New World, A New Existence
When the light faded, he finally had a body.
Or at least, he thought he did.
Floating in an endless sky of shifting colors, he looked at himself… and froze.
He had no physical form.
Instead, he was a mass of shifting energy, constantly morphing and evolving, flickering between thousands of different shapes—humanoid, monstrous, celestial, demonic.
And then—
Ding!
[ You have been designated as an UNKNOWN ENTITY. ]
[ Due to your unique existence, certain system functions will not apply to you. ]
[ Rarity Determination… ERROR. ]
[ Assigning Placeholder Rarity: [????] ]
[ System Message: You are not bound by the same limitations as others. ]
A massive shockwave exploded from his body, sending ripples through the sky. The very air around him bent in response to his presence.
He wasn't just different.
He was outside the system itself.
And in a world where rarity dictated destiny, he had just become the ultimate unknown factor.
His journey had begun.
And the Infinite Realm would never be the same.
