Ethan was a martial arts prodigy undefeated, unstoppable, and yet, unfulfilled.
One day, on his way home from a world championship, a truck's blinding headlights ended everything.
He expected darkness.
Instead, he woke up floating in a void of stars.
A beautiful woman descended before him her hair silver as moonlight, eyes glowing with divine warmth.
> "Mortal soul, your time in your world has ended," she said softly. "But your spirit... it's interesting. You fought not for fame, but for strength. For meaning."
Ethan blinked. "So... this is Heaven?"
She smiled. "No. But it can be paradise... if you want."
She extended her hand. A golden light pulsed within it.
> "I offer you reincarnation a new world filled with demons, monsters, and gods. A world where strength is law. And I'll grant you something rare… my blessing the Demon System."
Ethan stared at her her beauty was beyond divine. Her presence made his heart pound.
> "What's the catch?" he asked.
> "Survive. Grow. And… maybe… find me again."
Ethan laughed quietly, shaking his head. "You know what, Goddess? I think I already love you."
The Goddess froze a blush touching her celestial cheeks.
> "Foolish mortal," she whispered. "Then live long enough to prove it."
With a wave of her hand, light swallowed him whole.

In the distance, a roar echoed a massive demon beast, claws like blades, eyes burning crimson.
