"Damn, why is creating a skill so hard?"
Void finally took a deep breath.
"System, I've decided. I have a skill in mind now."
The system's voice echoed in his mind.
[System: Affirmative. Please state the name of your desired skill.]
Void smirked. "I'm using all 100 system points to create one thing—God of Void Sword. What do you think?"
[System: Magnificent, Host. A brilliant name worthy of a legend.]
Suddenly, a surge of divine energy enveloped Void. A glowing interface appeared before him, displaying a new sword skill:
> Skill: God of Void Sword
Forms: 15 Divine Techniques
Void blinked in shock. "Wait—fifteen forms? I thought I was creating just one sword skill!"
[System: Host, each form is a manifestation of your limitless void potential. Use them wisely. A sword that can handle this power is being forged now. Please stand by.]
Moments later, space itself tore open—and a pitch-black sword floated before him, humming with void energy.
[System: Host, this is your custom weapon—crafted to wield the God of Void Sword. Indestructible. Limitless.]
Void grabbed it. "This sword... it's pure black. Just like the void itself. It's perfect."
He chuckled. "A sword technique called 'God of Void'... and a sword born from the void. How fitting."
"System, can I try it out on a monster?"
[System: Host, please refrain. It would be overkill. Especially the final form—never use that on this planet. Its aftermath could erase continents.]
[System: Remember what I said when you arrived in this world. This power isn't just for mortals, it could slay even gods.]
Void laughed. "Hah! Slay gods? You're kidding me."
"But anyway… now that I've got a sword and a skill, I need food. And clothes. Can people here understand my language?"
[System: Yes. Speak freely.]
"Good. Let's see what this cultivation world is really like."

Two Hours Later...
Void dragged his feet through the wilderness.
"Damn you, System! You could've at least teleported me near a town. You scammer!"
[System: Analyzing. Walk another 20 minutes north. You'll reach a settlement.]
"Finally," Void muttered, his body aching. "Let's hope it's worth it."

[Black Fire Town]
A massive gate loomed ahead, with ancient carvings and a heavy aura.
"Black Fire Town? What kind of cursed name is that? Whatever, I'm starving."
As he walked in, he heard excited chatter.
"Oooh, look! The Young Master is issuing challenges again!"
"Whoever defeats him wins 10,000 spirit coins!"
Void raised an eyebrow. "System, what's a spirit coin?"
[System: It's the basic currency in this world. Mainly used by low-level cultivators.]
"I may not be low-level, but I need money before I starve. Let's do this."
Void stepped toward the ring, catching everyone's attention.
"Who's this guy? Is he insane?"
"Just because he's good-looking doesn't mean he can beat Young Master Lucien!"
Lucien, from the proud but arrogant Vaelor Clan, stood confidently in the ring. His guards stepped forward.
"Young Master, he's not worth your time. Let us—"
Lucien snapped. "Did you just try to order me? Know your place!"
He glared at Void. "I don't know who you are, but I'll enjoy humiliating you."
3… 2… 1… START!
Lucien struck first. Void barely dodged.
"Damn! He's fast!" Void thought. "I didn't even get time to unsheathe my sword!"
Lucien sneered. "That's all you've got? Pathetic. You're just a commoner brat. Go get your parents—I'll beat them too!"
Laughter erupted around the ring.
"This isn't
a fight—it's a one-sided beatdown!"
"A bug challenging a beast!"
---
But then… it happened.
[System: WARNING. Host, please restrain yourself. Your anger could destabilize the mortal realm.]
Void didn't use his sword.
He didn't even unleash killing intent.
He simply got angry.
"You insects… dare to drag my parents into this?"
The air froze. The sky dimmed.
Everyone fell to their knees. Even the Vaelor Clan's sect leader spat blood.
Void's pressure alone—barely 2%—killed dozens.
Crippled hundreds.
The town trembled as if facing a wrathful god.
Void took a deep breath and forced his rage back into his soul.
"Damn... I wasn't even trying."
He looted the reward money while the survivors trembled in fear. Then, calmly, he strolled into a food shop, packed supplies, and left the town behind.
"System," he said, chewing on dried meat, "I killed some people, right? Gimme system points."
[System: 50 system points acquired.]
"Only 50? Come on, that was a whole massacre!"
[System: Most of them were low-level cultivators.]
"Tch. Fine. Whatever. At least I've got food now."
Void vanished into the distance, leaving behind a shattered town and a legend that would haunt the world.
