Chapter 1 — Welcome to Terra
Somewhere deep within a vast, ancient forest, a young man with silver hair and godlike facial features lay unconscious on the mossy ground.
Slowly, his golden eyes flickered open.
"Ugh... what the hell?" he groaned, pushing himself upright. His limbs were stiff, his body aching as if he hadn't moved in days. Trees stretched endlessly in every direction. No buildings. No paths. No people.
"All I remember is heading to the game store to pick up the latest release…" he muttered, scanning the dense wilderness. "Where the fuck am I?"
Then came the inevitable breakdown.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS?! WHOEVER DID THIS TO ME, I SWEAR TO GOD—WHEN I FIND YOU, I'M RIPPING YOUR INNARDS OUT AND MAKING YOU EAT 'EM THROUGH A STRAW!"
His lungs burned from yelling when a soft ping echoed in his head, followed by a calm, robotic voice:
(Hello, user. You have been chosen to receive the MULTIVERSE SUMMONING SYSTEM. Please say 'Menu' to begin. Input your name to check your status.)
"...What." Kuro blinked, caught off guard. "Are you telling me this is one of those isekai things? But I didn't get hit by a truck! I was just walking, and then—BOOM—blinding light!"
(That 'light' was the system scanning Earth for a compatible host. You were selected. Welcome.)
Kuro rubbed his temples. "Great. Kidnapped by a sentient lightbulb…"
Still, curiosity itched at him. "Fine. Menu."
A red translucent screen blinked into view:

Kuro raised an eyebrow. "Alright… this actually looks kinda badass. Input name: Kuro Hayama."
(Welcome, Kuro. You have been transported to Terra — a world ten times the size of Earth. Your current location: Ancient Forest.)
(To grow stronger, you must defeat the native beasts of Terra. Points are earned as follows:)

SP (Summoning Points): Sell rare items rich in life energy — beast eggs, magical plants, etc.
Kuro whistled, impressed. "So that's how I grind, huh? Alright, let's check out the stores..."
He browsed through the Item Store, eyes wide at the assortment of potions, pills, powders, and weird magical junk. Then he tapped the Summoning tab——and instantly screamed.
"OH MY GOD. I CAN SUMMON ANIME GIRLS?! HOT ELVES?! THIS IS EVERY OTAKU'S DREAM!!! HELL. FUCKING. YES!!!"
(Starter Gift Pack available. Would you like to open it?)
"Yes, please!"
(Congratulations. Kuro has received: 10,000 IP, 10,000 EP, 10,000 AP, 10,000 SP.)
Before Kuro could spend his newfound wealth, another ping chimed in—this time with a sharp edge.
(Warning. A highly dangerous entity is approaching. 0.01% survival chance in direct combat. Hiding recommended.)
"What?!"
He darted up the nearest tree with surprising agility. Moments later, a massive lizard—easily four meters long—lumbered into the clearing, sniffing the air.
(Forest Lizard — Level 9)
"Oh hell no."
Kuro's heart pounded. "System! Open EP shop! Get me a sword and something to paralyze this thing!"
(Purchased: Short Sword, Paralyzing Powder — Cost deducted.)
A sleek white sword materialized in Kuro's hand. A pouch filled with fine purple powder appeared at his waist.
"Let's hope this works…"
He waited until the lizard passed beneath his branch, then tossed a cloud of powder into the air. The beast inhaled—and froze. Paralyzed.
Without hesitation, Kuro dropped from the tree, blade in hand, and plunged it straight into the creature's skull.
(Enemy slain. Kuro has leveled up!)Level 2… Level 3… Level 4… Level 5!
Warmth flooded his body. Every muscle felt stronger, every nerve sharper.
"Damn… this feels good."
(Sell Forest Lizard corpse for IP?)
"Hell yeah."
(+790 IP earned.)
Kuro grinned. "Show me my points."
IP: 9,980EP: 7,900AP: 10,000SP: 10,000
Time to get serious.
"System, open Ability Store. Show me swordsmanship."
(Beginner: 1,000 AP | Intermediate: 5,000 AP | Master: 10,000 AP | Grandmaster: 100,000 AP | Sword God: 10,000,000 AP)
Kuro's eyebrow twitched. "Ten million? Who do I have to slay, a god?!"
"Whatever. Buy Master Swordsman."
A blinding pain crashed into his skull. Thousands of sword drills, forms, and training techniques were force-fed into his brain.
He dropped to his knees, gasping. Then — clarity.
He stood, sword in hand, and flowed through a perfect kata. His body moved like it had been training for decades.
"This is awesome. Time to test it out."
Kuro dashed deeper into the forest, brimming with confidence. Soon, three snarling wolves crossed his path.
(Grey Wolves — Level 6)
They pounced.
But Kuro danced through them like wind through trees, blade flashing. One fell with a clean slash. Another lost its throat to his grip. He used its body to block the final wolf's leap, then drove his sword through both in a single strike.
(Level up! Level 6… Level 7!)
"Damn, that was intense," he said, breathing hard but unharmed.
(Sell wolf corpses for IP?)
"Yes, system. Take 'em."
(+2,190 IP)

Kuro wiped the blood from his blade and looked ahead, a grin spreading across his face.
"This world is insane… and I'm just getting started."
