Synopsis
**Synopsis** Danial Crawford is an ordinary college student on the surface—juggling lectures, deadlines, and the quiet chaos of modern academic life—until a late-night gaming session fractures the boundary between fiction and reality. In that moment, he is chosen by a mysterious force known as **The Supernatural Divine Godly Power System**, or more simply, **the Primordial System**. Unlike the systems of games and legends, this one does not merely grant power; it observes, judges, and molds its host. Danial’s selection is no accident. His compatibility is unnervingly high, and with it comes access to abilities that hint at truths far older and far darker than the world he knows. As Danial explores the System, curiosity quickly gives way to unease. Each new function reveals fragments of a hidden cosmology—layers of reality where gods are not always divine, heavens are not always pure, and power carries a price that cannot be ignored. Danial is not portrayed as a saint or a savior; like Truman Capote’s reflection on human contradiction, he is flawed, conflicted, and deeply human. He makes mistakes, doubts his own morality, and questions whether greatness is something earned—or imposed. The System does not correct him. It simply records. The world itself begins to change. Gates appear. Beings descend—radiant, terrifying, and wrong. One such arrival marks a turning point, when a presence from beyond steps through a celestial gate, shaking the balance of Earth and exposing the existence of a so-called heaven that may not be what it claims to be. As humanity reels, Danial is dragged into conflicts far beyond mortal scale, forced downward into the depths of Hell itself. There, through countless layers of torment and ancient power, he rises—not as a conqueror, but as something forged by survival. His ascent from Hell back to Earth becomes a shockwave that alters the fate of the planet, placing him directly against the false beings who masquerade as divine protectors. What follows is a relentless climb—through Earth, into the fake heaven, and beyond—where destruction uncovers buried truths rather than endings. At the heart of it all lies a mystery that has haunted Danial since the beginning: the truth about his father, his origins, and why the System chose him in the first place. And as the veil finally begins to lift, Danial steps toward a realm even the false heavens fear—a true heaven, and something above it—only to realize that the greatest revelation is still waiting, just out of reach.

Chapter 1 - What are you?

As I slurped my noodles at the town's famous noodle shop, I was completely absorbed in the rich, savoury taste. The world around me faded into the background as I focused on my food. Then, suddenly, a strange sound reached my ears.

Ping.

I paused and looked around, confused. Nothing seemed out of place. No one else reacted. Shrugging it off, I assumed I had imagined it and went back to enjoying my noodles.

After finishing, I headed home. The moment I stepped inside, the comforting smell of cooking filled the air. My mother, Sophia, was in the kitchen, calmly frying chicken. Watching her move with practised ease, I instantly regretted eating noodles earlier. No food compared to hers.

I declined, much to her surprise. Her disappointment was palpable, prompting me to quickly apologize and offer a hug. "Sorry, Mom," I said earnestly.

"It's okay, not your fault. I should have told you earlier," she replied, her mood lifting as I kissed her cheek before darting upstairs.

"That little... when will he grow up?" she chuckled, resuming her cooking.

Once alone, I changed into my pajamas and settled in front of my computer, ready to join my friends in a gaming session. However, before I could even launch a game, the mysterious "ping" echoed once more, followed by an unfamiliar mechanical voice. I froze in terror, my heart racing.

"Host has 100% compatibility with the System. Requesting the Host's approval to bind the System with the Host's body," the voice declared.

I stumbled backwards, landing unceremoniously on the floor. Panic coursed through me as I struggled to comprehend the situation. Who—or what—was speaking to me? Was I losing my mind?

I shivered at the voice's reappearance. "What the... why am I hearing things? Did the A.I. rebel and start attacking cities? Is the apocalypse starting? What is happening to me?"

"Host, do not be afraid."

Terrified, I remained frozen. "What are you?"

"Congratulations, Host. The Supernatural Divine Godly Power System, or The Primordial System, has selected you to be your guide to becoming the strongest in the Universe and participating in the Multiverse."

My jaw dropped. "The Supernatural Divine Godly Power System? The strongest in the universe? The Multiverse, what?"

The information overloaded my senses. I sat down, attempting to process the revelation. "The system, the strongest in the universe – is this some kind of joke?"

"No, it is not."

"What... you can hear my thoughts?"

"Yes, the Host's mind is connected to the system, so the system can hear every thought the Host produces."

"Damn, what a drag."

"Host's approval is required for the system to bind with the Host's body."

"Binding the system? What's the use of that?"

"Binding the system will give the Host complete control over his body and enable the training and cultivation of different powers and techniques."

"Cultivation techniques? Are there Grandmasters and deities in this world?"

"Yes, that is correct."

My mind raced with disbelief; the world held secrets I had never fathomed. The revelation of a supernatural system and the promise of becoming the strongest in the universe opened up a realm of possibilities I couldn't have imagined.
