Chapter 1 - The Beginning

Matthew Wells was a 17 year old depressed teenager. Growing up, he was never good at communicating. He was hardly a popular figure. This left him without any genuine, long-lasting friendships. Thus he suffered from loneliness, which eventually turned into depression. Hence he spent most of his time regarding light novels.

But that was not the only cause of his suffering. His father, John Wells died when Matthew was just two years old. Hence, he grew up without a father figure. He didn't know how his father died. His mother told him that his father died in an accident. Whenever he saw his neighbours and his classmates with their fathers, he used to get jealous and upset. Until one day, it no longer occupied his psyche.

At the age of 14 his mother, Aliyah Wells was diagnosed with breast cancer. He felt as if the ground swept from beneath his feet. He became terribly worried for his mother. Whenever he went tohis mother with a concerned face, she would say with her tired eyes that everything was going to be ok. But that did not dissipate his worries. He used to cry a lot when he was alone. But there was no one to console him. He was not a religious person but, he still prayed to many gods of different religions, hoping that a miracle would happen and his mother would be cured of her life threatening disease.

But in the end nothing mattered. Last week his mother passed away. At the age of 17 he finally became an orphan. He had seen his mother's health decline over the years, and he knew that it would have happened eventually. But nothing could have prepared him for her inevitable death. He cried like there was no tomorrow. He still couldn't believe that she was gone forever. He didn't know what to do anymore. At last, he decided to end it all. What could he possibly live for anyway?

"Mom, dad both of you are gone. I don't know what to do anymore. I am sorry mom. I couldn't live on happily after you were gone. I am weak and a coward. I couldn't fulfill your wishes." After saying this Matthew went to the edge of the top of his house. Then he spotted something glowing at one corner of the rooftop of his house. "Huh what is this? What is glowing over here?" He went near the corner where he saw the glowing orb. After deciding for a while he finally decided to touch it and examine what it was.

All of a sudden the world around him turned black. "Wh-what is happening?" He looked around himself. It was black everywhere. Then he heard an ethereal, gentle voice. "Child, look over here". Matthew was shocked, then he looked upward and saw the glowing orb. "Wh-who are you? Where am I"? The orb said " I am a part of The Primordial Consciousness. We are currently in the Omni-directional void."

Matthew was surprised. "You are The Primordial Consciousness? This is the Omni-directional void? I don't understand."

The orb said "I am a part of The Primordial Consciousness. Not it's whole. The Primordial Consciousness is always in a state of deep meditation. I am a part of it, that woke up a little and became a bit more aware after sensing your enormus grief."

"Huh? You were meditating? On the rooftop of my house? But since when?" "Let me explain child. The Primordial Consciousness is a formless, omnipresent sea of consciousness that exists in every world, universe and timeline. Everything that exists is a mere though of The Primordial Consciousness. Hence The Primordial Consciousness is the origin of everything , even you.

Matthew couldn't believe it. So the Truth of reality, existence and everything was explained to him directly. " But why do you not appear every time? Why did you not appear to me earlier? Many people carry huge grievances, but you do not appear to them."

"My child, whether I wake up or not is a case of probability. When I sensed your grief, the probability of a part of me waking up from my deep meditation increase. Me waking up for any emotion was not absolute. However I assure you that I am an all loving creator and this Omni-directional void is my highest created realm. Child I have seen your past. I know your pain. Hence, I shall grant you three boons. 1st, you shall be transmigrated in a new world, that has infinite potential. There you shall be able to make many friends and there you shall have a new family. That world is going to be a world of monsters, demons, beasts, dungeons, kingdoms and empires. 2nd, you shall have a power core called The Versatile Warrior System embedded into your consciousness. Since this is just a tiny part of me that has been awakened, I cannot make the power core very powerful from the start. Hence I shall give you a growth capable power core. The more you use the abilities of the power core, the stronger it is going to get. For the 3rd boon I shall give you the spiritual module called the ability assimilatior. The ability assimilatior is complementary to the The Versatile Warrior System. It will allow the power core to learn and absorb new abilities from the environment."

Matthew Wells became extatic. "Wow, incredible. I can get a System like in those light novels. It is a wish come true. Please give it to me my lord." "There you go my child. You shall be transmigrated into the world of prime material plane ".

With that Matthew became unconscious. He later woke up in a bed with a male doctor on the left side talking to a concerned pair of adults and a female nurse, who was holding his hand to check his pulse rate . He looked around and saw that he was in a wooden hut. His head was throbbing. A lot of memories, belonging to the previous owner of his body entered his mind. He realised that he had finally transmigrated in a new world. So began the journey of Matthew Wells.
