Darkness. Cold. Silence.
For a moment, there was nothing.
Then—
Gasp!
Ryzen Valefor's eyes shot open. He sucked in a deep breath, his lungs burning as if he had been drowning. His vision blurred, his body ached, and his mind swirled with fragmented memories.
Where was he?
Who was he?
No—he knew who he was.
He was Ryzen Valefor, a soul that had reincarnated countless times, wandering across dimensions. Each life was different. Some were long, some were short, but all had led him here.
To Blue Stellar.
And this time, things were different.

A New World, A New Beginning
The moment Ryzen's mind cleared, he felt it—the weight of a new body. He sat up, his hands gripping a smooth, metallic floor. He wasn’t in a forest, a desert, or a medieval castle like his past reincarnations.
This world was advanced.
Bright lights flickered above him. Towering metal walls, floating blue holograms, and machines beyond anything he had seen before surrounded him.
A sterile room, filled with strange cylindrical pods lined against the walls. Some were empty, while others contained figures floating inside, locked in some kind of deep sleep.
The moment he tried to stand, his head throbbed with pain. Memories surged forward—but they weren’t his own.
They belonged to the previous owner of this body.

The Identity of Ryzen Valefor
This body had once belonged to a young man named Ryzen Valefor, a citizen of Blue Stellar, a planet that had long surpassed the age of magic and stepped into the age of dimensional travel.
Blue Stellar wasn’t just one world.
It was the heart of the multiversal network, a civilization so advanced that it had established contact with countless other dimensions. Explorers, warriors, scientists, and even bounty hunters traveled between worlds using high-tech devices called Dimensional Gates.
Ryzen's past self had been one of these travelers, but… something had happened.
Something that killed him.
And now, his body had been claimed by the soul of a reincarnator.

The System Awakens
Ding!
A sudden mechanical voice echoed in Ryzen’s mind.
> [SYSTEM INITIALIZING…]
[WELCOME, HOST: RYZEN VALEFOR]
[YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AS A TRAVELER OF THE MULTIVERSE]
[UNIQUE SKILL: "INSTANT" – UNLOCKED]
[BEGINNER QUEST: SURVIVE AND LEAVE THE FACILITY]
The System had arrived.
Ryzen clenched his fist. A slow smile spread across his lips.
Finally…
This was the start of something big.

The First Challenge – Escape!
Before Ryzen could fully process everything, the room flashed red. A blaring alarm rang out.
“WARNING. UNAUTHORIZED SUBJECT HAS AWAKENED. SECURITY DEPLOYED.”
Shit.
Without thinking, Ryzen activated his system menu.
> [ITEM INVENTORY: EMPTY]
[SKILL LIST: "INSTANT" AVAILABLE]
He had nothing—no weapons, no armor, no tools.
Except for his unique skill.
He took a deep breath and focused.
System, use "Instant"!
The moment he activated it, information flooded his brain.
> [CHOOSE ITEM: ANYTHING IN THE MULTIVERSE]
[LIMITATION: DEPENDS ON SYSTEM LEVEL & LUCK]
A bright blue interface appeared in front of him, displaying a roulette wheel with hundreds of weapons, tools, and skills flashing in rapid succession.
Spin.
The wheel spun at insane speed, slowing down until it landed on—
> [ITEM ACQUIRED: BEGINNER LASER DAGGER]
A small black-and-blue dagger materialized in his hand.
Just in time.
Because the security drones had arrived.
