A girl drifted alone in the endless void, still wearing her pajamas.
Her black hair floated gently as if underwater, and her brown eyes were wide with confusion and fear. There
was no ground beneath her feet. No sky above her head. Only infinite darkness, stretching forever.
"Okay…" she whispered shakily. "What's happening? I was lying on my bed just a moment ago… and now I'm
here. In a void. Just… a void?"
Her name was Arsere Veyra.
An unusual name. And now, she was completely alone.
Her own voice echoed softly in the emptiness, sending a chill down her spine. The silence felt heavy—so
heavy it pressed against her chest and made it hard to breathe.
Then…
A tiny light flickered into existence.
It was no larger than a firefly, floating quietly in front of her.
She froze.
"What… is that…?"
Her hand trembled as she slowly reached forward. The moment her fingertip touched the glowing light, a
blinding screen suddenly unfolded in front of her eyes.

Arsere stared at the words in disbelief.
"Age… zero?" she murmured. "But I was eighteen…"
A cold realization crawled up her spine.
Had she… died?
Or was this some kind of simulation between life and death?
Her breathing quickened.
"What happened to me?"
she whispered. "Did I die in my sleep? That's impossible…"
She turned slowly, searching for anything familiar. But there were no walls. No ceiling. No ground.
Nothing but
endless darkness.
Her thoughts spiraled wildly.
"My family…" she muttered.
"Where's my family? My laptop? My money?"
A bitter laugh escaped her lips.
"I'm broke… I live off my parents… I had two little sisters and three brothers…"
Her voice cracked.
"I'm sorry, Dad… Mom… you five idiots,"
she whispered through trembling lips.
"I was a terrible daughter… a
terrible sister…"
Tears streamed down her face and vanished into the void.
Then, a blinking notification drew her attention.
With shaking fingers, she opened it.
SYSTEM MESSAGE ---
Dear Arsere Veyra,
I am something you do not yet understand.
I have chosen to begin a new universe. The entire population of Earth has been summoned into this void.
Do not worry for the children—they remain safely with their parents.
Here, you may create your own world, realm, galaxy, universe… or even a multiverse.
You may become a god, a demon, a devil, a beast, or any existence capable of creation or destruction.
Trillions of divinities await.
Your family has also been summoned. You may contact them once you have grown strong enough.
Gifts have been placed in your inventory.
Tips:
You may interfere with the system as you progress.
Chat and shop functions are available.
Goodbye,
Arsere Veyra. We will never meet again.

The words refused to feel real.
"So… everyone was summoned?" she whispered. "The entire Earth…?"
She lowered her hands, staring into nothingness.
"And we can become gods… demons… devils… or monsters that destroy everything…"
Slowly, a strange smile formed on her face.
"Then first…" she said softly, her eyes burning with determination, "I'll become a god."
Her heart pounded.
"My stage… my rank… everything will rise. That must be what they mean by progress."
Her gaze hardened.
"And after that… I'll find my family."
She opened her inventory.

Arsere's chest tightened with excitement.
"So this is it…" she whispered. "My first step as a god."
She took a deep breath.
"All right," she said firmly.
"Let's begin."
The light faded.
But a new universe… and a new destiny… had already begun.
For the first time in her life, Arsere Veyra had a real goal.
