???: "What exactly is happening to this world?"
Steve: "Hahhhh, I'll tell you in a moment. Help me first."
Ragna: "Hey! Stop right there! How could a weakling like you destroy that mountain!?"
Steve: "And what if I did?"
Ragna: "You... Arrogant brat!" (Grabs his weapon)
"OPEN!" BOOM!!!
???: "What the heck is that kid doing?"
Ragna leaps into the air and swings his axe. Whoosh! Whoosh! SMASH!!
But ??? blocks the attack using a shield he created.
???: "(Pathetic lowlife)"
"Create Domain — 'Inside The Black Hole.'"
Under the domain's effect, Ragna collapses, unable to move due to the overwhelming pressure inside the space.
Ragna: "Wha... what... is... th...is... My... body..."
???/Steve: "Your body feels like it's being crushed, right? Remember this! If you ever mess with me again, you will truly DIE."
??? deactivates the domain.
Ragna, completely unable to move, falls from the height and dies.
"Axe Killer died by fall damage."
???: "Hey, kid! I'm done here. Now spill the story."
Steve: "Come to my house first. Better than having people see us out here."
Whoosh!!!
???: "Alright, we're at your house now. Start talking!"
Steve: "Alright, fine."
"Three thousand years ago, there was a king obsessed with power. He created a machine that could alter the world's system... But..."
King: "Hahaha! Finally, I've created a machine that can turn the world into mine! Hahaha!"
But when he pressed the button, the machine overloaded with energy and malfunctioned, eventually exploding. Instead of dying, the king merged with the machine itself. With his newfound power, he could take over the world in an instant. Yet, despite conquering everything, he felt empty.
'So what now?'
Steve: "That's the gist of it."
???: "How do you know all this?"
Steve: "I heard it directly from him."
???: "Huh? Describe him!"
Steve: "What for?"
???: "You're down to your last drop of blood, aren't you?"

∆Creature Not Found∆
The Creator: "Who are you? How did you get in here!?"
???: "Something like this is child's play for me."
The Creator, in a panic, opens the system panel to eject ??? from the space, but...
'Target existed before creation!'
??? lunges toward The Creator with a black hole in his hand.
The Creator: "T-That power... That's the power of the First King! H-How is this possible!?"
???: "Am I the First King? Heh... No. But I am the one who created the First King!"
??? halts his attack, his hand just inches from The Creator's face.
???: "If you want to live, erase the blood system from that kid!"
The Creator: "Y-Yes, sir!"
???: "Oh, and one more thing. Grant that kid whatever he wishes for."
After finishing their business, ??? and Steve return to Steve's house, ready to test out the new power.
Steve: "OPEN! Let me try it... umm... I want a TV!"
(A TV appears in front of his face)
Steve: "Whoa!"
???: "What is that thing?"
Steve: "It's a thing that can..."
???: "Can what?"
Steve: "Oh right! It can show images."
???: "Interesting, interesting."
Steve: "Alright, let me turn it on." Glitcchhh
News Reporter:
"In the latest news, the Association of Hunters, or as we commonly know them, AH, is finally holding the annual tournament again. If you wish to participate, simply register at the AH Colosseum."
???: "Let's go. I'm curious."
Steve: "No way! Your identity might get exposed!"
???: "Don't worry. I've got a plan."
