Author's Message
This is not a slow-burn cultivation story.
The beginning is calm by design.
The real power, authority, and scale of Void begin unfolding from Chapter 11 onward.
If you enjoy dark fantasy, a cold protagonist, and a story that escalates without losing focus — keep reading.
***
My name is Kevin, and I don't even have a last name.
I'm just another average college guy who lives his life alone.
The only thing I actually enjoy is reading novels and manhwa—
Especially the ones where the main character is insanely overpowered. Hehe.
Anyway, today was exhausting.
Jeez... I don't even feel like going home right now. I'm way too tired. Aahh, damn...
Kevin was so tired that he could barely walk properly.
As he slowly crossed the road…
BAM!
A truck came speeding out of nowhere—
And slammed right into him.
---
Crowd:
"There's a kid that just got hit!"
"Quick, someone call an ambulance!"
"Thank God, it's here!"
---
The ambulance arrived and rushed him to the hospital.
> "New patient! Severe trauma. W
e need immediate treatment!"
Get him into the treatment room — now!" the doctor shouted.
Fifty minutes later, the doctor stepped out, shaking his head.
> "He doesn't have a chance. I tried my best… but he can't be saved."
He turned to the nurse.
> "Quickly — contact his family."
Kevin barely opened his eyes.
He'd heard everything.
With a weak, fading voice, he said:
> "I... don't have a family. So it's no use, Doctor... Just… let me rest. And… thank you… for trying."
His condition worsened by the second.
And at the edge of death, his final words were:
> "Are you there… Mom… Dad…"
---
Then —
Kevin died.
Suddenly, a glowing blue screen appeared before him.
> [ Welcome, Host, to the System. ]
Kevin looked at his body — or lack of one — and froze.
He was surrounded by pitch-black nothingness.
He pinched himself.
"This isn't a dream… Where am I? What is this screen…?"
> "Host," a voice echoed, "I am your system."
Kevin's eyes widened.
"Wait… A system?! Like the ones I read about in novels and manhwa?"
> "Correct, Host. Hehe."
Kevin blinked.
"A system that laughs...? That's new. Never seen that before…"
> "I'm not like those garbage systems, Host. Don't compare me to them. Hmph."
Kevin smirked.
"Alright then… So what happens now? Don't you need to send me somewhere?"
> "Please wait a moment, Host. First — create your new body and face."
Kevin was stunned.
"Wait... what?! That's even possible?!"
> "Like I said—don't underestimate me. I'm far superior to those trash-tier systems."
Without hesitation, Kevin started designing his new form:
Long, flowing blue hair.
Eyes that shimmered in white and blue.
A face that radiated presence, dominance, and something divine.
> "Body creation complete," the system confirmed
.
"Host, you will now be teleported to the ground."
Kevin paused.
"Wait... Is this the world of cultivation? Or Murim?"
> "This is a cultivation world, Host.
And you may now select a new name for yourself."
Kevin thought for a moment.
> In my past life, I had no parents…
I never experienced love or family…
But this life will be different.
In this life… I will rise above everything.
I will become stronger than anyone.
He looked forward with confidence.
> "From now on… call me VOID."
> [ Name registered: VOID. ]
Void smiled.
"System… You can read my mind, can't you? Even if I just think your name?"
> "Yes, Host. I can hear all your thoughts. You don't need to speak aloud."
Void smirked.
> "Good. I won't need to talk to you in front of others then."
He took one deep breath in the darkness…
And with a powerful grin, declared:
> "From this moment on...
This is my new life in this world."
