"We've lost... All that work and sacrifice only for me to end like this... A lost soul wandering in the deep void of the Omniverse..." A sphere floating aimlessly in immense darkness that shows no signs of ever ending was basked in its own sense of failure, as the memories of the events that led to its demise and fall replayed multiple times in its mind further engraving that moment in its existence.
It had fought for glory and power... Not just any kind of power, unlike some who would be satisfied having gotten to where it once stood, it wanted more, it wanted absolute power, not for domination or even for the glory it also enjoyed, but instead it wanted absolute power so it could finally be truly free and safe, no longer at the mercy of the cruel and merciless Omniverse, where being under anyone would sooner or later lead to disaster.
Though it fought with all it could and even had companions who had similar views, even so, those relations meant little when the moment of truth came and it was betrayed, only to bearly escape as a soul duo to the sacrifice of those who were truly loyal... This gave it a new objective, a new drive... To avenge those who had fallen to the hands of the treacherous bastards who sold themselves to the enemy! And for the purpose together with its personal yearning for absolute power, it would need to once more raise in power, but not just to get back to where it once stood, no, that was not enough! It had to go beyond! As further up as possible!
Alas, it was in no position to dream of becoming something so majestic... After all, it was in the deep void of the Omniverse, where corrosion would eventually erase its soul permanently, unfortunately, it was also the only place where it could safely hide from its enemies without ever being found and immediately killed by those who once called themselves its companions and subordinates.
"I, Claudius Priveoan Sevmon, swear upon my existence that if another chance were to ever be bestowed upon me! I'll enjoy that life indulging in what I had repressed before I tear apart those treacherous fools, and reclaim that which will be my throne above all!" Claudius made his declaration as he remembered how much of his life had been focused on his objectives with few and rare occasions of any form of enjoyment aside from being closer to the throne he so avidly yearns for, now deciding that his existence should be more than a collection of sub-goals to achieve, to get closer to the main objective.
This was a decision that motivated him to survive at all costs in hopes of an opportunity since he was in the deep void, known as the most unpredictable area in the vast infinity of the Omniverse. It was said, that anything and everything had taken place in the deep void at least once, that was the kind of place it was and the reason it was heavily avoided, aside from the fact that all and any form of detection and teleportation were completely useless in it.
What Claudius didn't expect was that he was the luckiest individual to ever step foot or better-said form in the deep void, as the deep void for the first time began to merge its energy with an individual, and it so happened to be him. This moment was one that anyone in the Omniverse would be too lucky if they got to experience 0.1% of it. As the endless stream of energy fused with Claudius, it began to mold itself to help him achieve his desire as he slowly but surely became the owner of the deep void, now the personal domain of Claudius Priveoan Sevmon.
[Welcome to the Beyond System, Master]
"Hahahaha! It seems the Omniverse hasn't given up on me just yet. So, what exactly are you?" Claudius was excited to feel himself energized and his power no longer fading but unfortunately not rising either.
[You were chosen to be the heir of the domain of totality once in possession of The Greatest Sovereign, so this The system was created for two purposes, one, to stop the power from consuming and destroying you before you are ready to fully inherit it, two, to nurture you to the point where you can inherit that same power, becoming the all-powerful Sovereign.]
"Great! That goes perfectly in line with my plan. But how am I going to get to the level I need to be in? No matter how much potential I have, the moment I leave the deep void, I will be swarmed by hordes of Divines at the level of concepts!" Claudius asked as he was curious and worried about his progress now that he had a chance.
[The system has chosen a select few worlds outside the gasp of the Omniverse to nurture master through experience. You will be first reincarnated to each of the worlds and while in those worlds be bound to their rules. As the one who will inherit The powers of the Greatest Sovereign, your mission will be to dominate those worlds while following their rules, after all, before you can break the rules you must first understand them, and what better way to do than to be forced to follow them?]
"I agree with that, sounds like a plan to me. Before I go though, I need to understand if you're going to go with me or if you're just going to observe my progress?" Claudius questioned.
[I will be by your side for as long as you wish me to. I exist to make you into a proper heir and to serve you in any way you wish me to as long as it doesn't conflict with the first purpose.]
"I see, then from this day on, I'll call you Lilith Sevmon, as you will be my first companion and wife in my new journey." Claudius declared.
[Downloading emotion system and related functionalities... Process complete]
[Y- Yes mast.... Overload... Cooling... Process complete... Yes, master.] Lilith who until now was simply giving responses carrying no emotion was flustered at her master's request.
"Let us get going, I want to see you, I've read before that contact and communication are the bases for a good relationship. Though I find a way to kill you if I ever find you conspiring against me, and believe it when I say I'll know." Claudius expressed his eagerness.
[Master... I don't have a physical body... Plus, I'm incapable of doing such a thing.] Lilith said.
"Well, we just need to get you one then. Is there any easy way to do it? I would rather not have to steal a body. Personally, I would rather create a body from scratch with you so that it can be fully appropriate to our wishes, but mostly mine." Claudius commented.
[It is possible, as your system, I have other functions, namely: Status screen, Inventory, Harem, Personal Domain, Quests, and Locked functions. So, it is possible to obtain a body through the store, though they are all costly and will require a lot of BP, or you could also collect various materials to use in crafting to create a body, and there's even the possibility of creating a body in the world you end up depending on which one it is, there might be multiple ways to do it.] Lilith explained.
"Then send me to one of those worlds, preferably one with multiple possibilities in that regard. Once, I'm there and all the possibilities are on the table, I'll decide how to proceed." Claudius replied.
[Master... I'm sorry to inform you that I can't change the worlds or the order in which you visit them, as it might conflict with your training and inheritance, but don't worry, whatever world you end up in, you will figure something out.] Lilith was a bit disheartened she could not help more, but she still had a job to fulfill above the rest.
"Understood, if it interferes with my training then forget it. Just send me to the world and we'll figure something out. So, don't worry, I'm not giving up on my wife just because of minor inconveniences." Claudius announced.
[Master, before we start the reincarnation process, you most be informed that while your memories will stay the same, some other things will change. As compensation for all the losses, first, you will be given a starter pack and then you will have to create the avatar for your future look.] Lilith explained.
