"Kekekkekeke!"

"After all that effort and scheming every day to steal a dollar from Father..."

"Finally..."

"I finally bought this game..."

"HURRAY!"

"Well done, Reign... you truly are a mastermind of poverty," he muttered to himself, screaming in joy as he raised the game case.

He quickly opened it, pulled out the CD, and slid it into the drive slot before nudging it gently.

A soft click echoed, followed by the game details beginning to load.

1%... 2%...

A few moments later, a jubilant voice erupted through the speakers.

Welcome to the era of Global Awakening.

The sound tore through the speaker, accompanied by intense beats and BGM that made his heart pound.

"Damn... this intro... this is insane... I love it already."

What followed was a short cinematic intro video stating the world’s background.

Fifth Aeon, 791...

The Gods, who treated mortals as fodder and used them to consolidate their throne, were defeated by Leonard the Great.

"Leonard the Great... defeated the Gods...?"

Reign leaned forward slightly, his eyes narrowing as interest flickered within them.

Knowing resistance was futile, they sacrificed their power to preserve a fragment of their existence and abandoned the world... which allowed the Outer Existences to descend along with their world.

In a world abandoned by Gods, where the will of other worlds invades...

Leonard chose to become a pillar merging with the universe and granted extraordinary power.

Now, he lies in slumber, awaiting the birth of the chosen one who can share his burden.

So, chosen one, are you ready?

"Of course... I am...!" Reign shouted excitedly and slammed the Enter key.

The screen changed, and a drop-down menu appeared.

[Please select your class...]

[You can either create your own class with predefined parameters or take a leap of faith.]

"Uh... so it’s not some random lottery system."

"Since I have the option... why not create one?"

Reign’s hands moved swiftly, creating a steady clack-clack sound as he scrolled through the dropdown instructions.

There were no limits to class, but they had to follow the general hierarchy of groups.

Warrior, Mage, Healer, Rogue, Hybrid, Support.

"You need to choose one... and then create your special type under it."

"Ah... I don’t want the same boring Swordsman or Mage class..."

"Healer... that just kills my offense."

"Rogue... thieves, hunters, ranged types... fast, agile... flexible too."

"Wait... the Warrior has Paladin types too..."

He paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Nah... I want something unique... something people will laugh at first... and regret later."

So, his focus shifted to the Support class.

There were always hidden monsters in that category.Crouching dragons and hidden phoenixes... Well, not exactly that, but you get the idea.

He had read novels about the kung fu chef, killer fisherman, legendary farmer...

"Yeah... something like that."

Reign decided to go with it, but before finalizing, he clicked on Hybrid class creation.

After a few moments of calculating, he finally clicked on save.

The moment he did, the screen went blank.

"...What the hell?"

"Huh?"

"Did it just crash...?"

He clicked back. The menu returned.

He selected Hybrid again.

The screen went dark again.

Reign frowned slightly, his fingers hovering over the mouse.

"No... wait... why is the screen growing dark...?"

"Is it a glitch or a bug in the system?"

"..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

He repeated the process several times, but the issue persisted. The cursor blinked back at him, almost like it was mocking him.

A thick vein bulged over his forehead, tempting him to smack the PC.

"You’ve got to be kidding me?"

"After all that trouble... I can’t be stopped by this... I will just reboot it."

He was about to do so when the windows of the room suddenly began to rattle, first lightly, then violently, slamming against the wall as if a torrent of wind had entered the room.

He tried to ignore it, but the noise kept growing louder.

"Damn..."

He got up and began walking towards the window, peering outside at dark, dense clouds and fierce winds that shook everything in sight.

The next moment, the current was cut out, plunging the room into sudden, suffocating darkness

The PC switched to its backup battery, emitting a sharp, persistent beeping noise.

"ARGHHHHHH!"

"Is the entire world against me playing one damn game or what?!"

He glared up at the rumbling sky and raised a middle finger.

"Fuck you!" he shouted, then turned to close the window. Suddenly, the sky outside lit up, almost as if the heavens had noticed the small human who dared to challenge it.

The air grew sharp and heavy.His skin tingled as if thousands of needles pressed against it.

A faint metallic taste filled his mouth.

A blinding flash lit up the sky and ground.From the flash,a streak of lightning struck down.

Reign turned around instinctively towards the flash and his eyes reflected the sight of light spreading through the sky like veins.

The air shook violently. A loud crack shattered the silence as lightning struck down aiming straight at him.

FAAHHHHH!

With his eyes wide open, the world seemed to freeze for a split second as the fierce rays of light flooded through the window and hit him..

BANGG!

The force hurled him backward, slamming him into the PC.

The entire room trembled violently as the impact released a scorching surge of energy. Sparks erupted and danced wildly across the walls, and the smell of burnt flesh and broken debris filled his lungs.

A massive shock rippled through the world.

The blinding light flooded the room, swallowing everything in white as the delayed thunder crashed down, rattling his ears and drowning his senses in overwhelming sound.

Then he was greeted by absolute darkness.

For a moment, he felt his soul crawling out of his body and getting pulled apart vigorously then stretched, torn, and dragged apart

And it was then,he heard a sound.

[Hybrid Class has been Selected.]

....

[Sequel To The Grand Duke Son Is A Heretic.]
