It's been two excruciatingly boring weeks of the same routine, day in and day out. Feeding, sleeping, and shitting like a mindless robot. I yearn for something more, something exciting to shake up the monotony of my existence. And then, my System grants my wish.

As I delve deeper into the information it provides, I realize just how messed up this world truly is. It may look like a modern world at first glance, but there's a hidden layer to it that's just waiting to be uncovered. A layer of martial artists, magicians, cultivators, and all sorts of fantastical beings that have emerged over the past few decades.

To cope with these sudden changes, the governments of different countries have banded together to form the World Council. It's been a few years since its inception, and they've been working tirelessly to gather information about the disturbances happening all around us. What they've uncovered is mind-boggling. There are multiple worlds out there that coincide with our own, and when their boundaries momentarily weaken, people can get swept into them. And when they return, they possess incredible abilities that are beyond anything we could have imagined.

There are martial artists who can split mountains with their bare hands, mages who can conjure fire in their palms, and cultivators who can break through their mortality to achieve immortality. It's a world of endless possibilities and breathtaking wonders.

As I read on, I discover that each person who came from those other worlds had a unique story to tell. They all experienced different world structures, which means they must have gotten into various worlds and completed specific missions to learn those incredible powers.

Realizing the potential of these otherworldly abilities, every country started to move and vie for these powerful reinforcements or nurture certain individuals to maintain public order. After all, left to their own devices, these returnees might cause chaos and mayhem everywhere they go.

After years of hard struggle, the World Council finally stabilizes an academy where they can keep all the returnees, or "world call" individuals, under control. Most of these individuals are between the ages of 12 and 20, but there are a handful of exceptions, like a 30-year-old person who came out of another world and quickly established himself as an authority member within the World Council.

But that's not the only change that has occurred since these otherworldly individuals started appearing. In fact, the entire planet has transformed from a dying old world to a new baby with wings on its back.

Various scholars have studied this phenomenon and come up with theories. They say that when these returnees come back to their original world, they keep their abilities suppressed. However, when they enter this world, for a brief moment, the energy leaks from the crack along with the person. This energy leak is what has helped Earth feed off the otherworldly energy, slowly transforming into a planet filled with vitality.

This transformation is great news for mankind. It means that people will have fewer health problems and can enjoy longer lifespans. Regular exercise will also lead to a healthier body. And even though these returnees' physical bodies are suppressed, they're still above world-class athletes in terms of strength and endurance.

As I read all of this, I can't help but be awestruck by the incredible possibilities that lie ahead. It's as though the entire world is on the brink of a new era of enlightenment, with limitless potential waiting to be unlocked.

.....

Now even after 20 years or so later, the supernatural is still secret from normal citizens but there is always a rumour around.

The academy is situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, on an artificial island put together by various powerhouses around the world. It's a sprawling mass of land, 1000kms in total, with all kinds of facilities. I can't help but imagine myself attending this academy with people from all around the world, interacting with different cultures every day. It would never be boring.

But as much as I daydream about attending this academy, I can't let myself forget the reason why I'm here in the first place. I need to make an unbreakable, solid foundation to reach my goddess level. Otherwise, I would have chosen to transmigrate with a young body. Despite the boredom and monotony of my routine, I can't afford to lose sight of my ultimate goal.

......

As a child, I was a quick learner, able to pick up languages and knowledge with ease. But my brain was not yet fully developed, so I had to rely on the System database to protect my stored knowledge until I turned 10.

As the years passed, I grew both physically and mentally, developing into a young teenager at the age of 10. And though I had been blessed with a loving family, my father's exhaustion upon returning from work every day hinted at the changing times.

Supernatural abilities had become a hot commodity, and those who possessed them were given special privileges and opportunities. My father's fatigue could have been the result of society's newfound obsession with these abilities, as the upper echelons of society clamored to hire those with supernatural powers.

Despite these changes, my mother remained a beauty, her Nordic features maturing into a charm that could only be found in a mature MILF. And though my father struggled, he worked hard to provide for us, even if it meant coming home exhausted.

As I prepared to embark on my journey to becoming op, I couldn't help but feel excitement and curiosity about this new era we found ourselves in. 

......

Currently,

As I sit in my room, I can't help but feel a sense of simplicity surrounding me. A lone table with a chair, a modest bookshelf, and a humble bed with cheap-looking sheets make up my living space. Despite our economic struggles, I recognize that my family's social standing is well above average in society.

Turning my thoughts to my appearance, I know that I have been blessed with my mother's genes. My short silver hair with golden tips perfectly complements my soft Nordic skin tone. My sharp, sword-like eyebrows frame my striking features, which include a dark blue pupil with a light ocean covering it all. Looking into my eyes is like getting lost in the depths of the ocean. I am confident that my handsome looks are enough to turn heads, but my tanned swimmer's body is the cherry on top.

At 5'4 feet, I may be small in stature, but I know that in a few years, I will blossom into a young, handsome stud. The way my growth is progressing, I can almost feel myself becoming taller and stronger with each passing day.

Leaving that aside, 

Today is the day that I embark on my journey of cultivation. Sitting cross-legged in my room, I immerse myself in deep concentration, accessing the vast knowledge of the System database and memorizing the techniques necessary for this ancient art. As I focus on loading this information into my mind, I can feel a sense of anticipation growing within me.

After some time, I open my eyes and take a deep breath, attempting to clear my mind of all distractions. I enter a meditative state and begin to chant the mantra of my chosen cultivation technique. Hours pass as I channel my inner energy, and I can feel the universe's various energies swirling around my body.

The cultivation technique I am practicing is unique, as I am directly tapping into the purest and oldest energy of existence, the primordius energy. This energy has existed since the creation of all things, and all other forms of energies stem from it.

As I focus on the energies flowing through me, I can sense them circulating through my body. The technique I am using automatically converts them into their purest form, taking on the primordius energy's essence once they reach my core.

Though cultivating in this manner is time-consuming, I know that once I carve arrays and inscriptions in the place I live, I will be able to convert existing energies into the primordius form, streamlining the cultivation process.

After several hours of intense concentration, my body and soul suddenly feel as though they have been released from a shackle, and the burden of the world has lifted. I can sense the energy flowing freely through me, and a sense of exhalation overcomes me, leaving me feeling refreshed and invigorated.

As I open my eyes, I am greeted with the gentle chime of the System notification. A feeling of pride and excitement swells within me as I realize that I have taken the first step towards greatness.

[...Ding...Congratulations host for taking the first step toward greatness so you have been awarded a Tier 1 Gift. It has been delivered to your Inventory.]

As I stand up, I notice that my body is covered in a black, sweaty substance. I take a moment to catch my breath and assess myself before heading to the washroom to freshen up. After a quick shower, I feel refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to take on the world once again.
