Eon Aris was just a normal 17-year-old boy. He liked quiet places, strange stories, and asking questions nobody could answer. One afternoon, while walking past a half-built building, something made him climb up — maybe curiosity, maybe something more.
The floor beneath him cracked.
He slipped.
A heavy metal beam hit him hard.
He collapsed, bleeding, scared, and alone.
That's when the world changed.
Everything around him went silent, but inside his mind, a voice spoke.
"You've been chosen."
Eon didn't understand. Was he dreaming? Dying?
Then, in front of his eyes, a glowing screen appeared — floating, real, but not physical.
It said:
SYSTEM ONLINE
Level: Mortal
Mission: Become the Lord of the Universe
"What… is this?" Eon whispered.
But no answer came. Only a strange feeling inside him — like something had unlocked. A hidden door in his soul.
He looked up.
The sky felt different.
Somewhere far above… a god opened their eyes. And they were afraid.
Eon woke up in a hospital bed.
His body hurt, but something felt… different. The world wasn't the same as before. The air buzzed. The light flickered. Somewhere deep inside, something was active — watching, waiting.
Doctors called it a miracle. He should've died. But he didn't.
At night, when everyone slept, the glowing screen returned.
MISSION UPDATED:
Survive. Discover your power.
Each day, Eon noticed things. A bird flapped its wings too slowly. A teacher's voice echoed before they spoke. Time… wasn't behaving.
One evening, he raised his hand — and the window across the room shattered.
He hadn't touched it.
"What… was that?" he whispered.
The voice spoke again.
"You are evolving."
He was scared.
He was excited.
He was something else now.
But somewhere far away — in a palace made of stardust and storms — a council of god-beings gathered. Watching Eon. Whispering.
"He's awakened," one said.
"Too early," said another.
"What do we do?"
And slowly, one rose from their throne.
"We stop him. Before he remembers who he is."
