Hello, dear readers! This story had a VERY poor start on both P@tr- (you know where) and Webnovel... But I've decided to give it one more chance. I'll be releasing another week of chapters, so if you want to see this story continue, please show it a lot of love <3

In the distant future.
The world had long since died, leaving behind only scarred wreckage.
The sun had extinguished. All that met the eye was a dried-up galaxy and a dilapidated world.
The sky was an eternal dusky yellow, the earth was solid steel-rock, and the atmosphere had long become too thin to obscure the stars.
One only needed to look up to see dead, shattered planets in outer space, as well as the roar of ceaseless magnetic storms.
That was a Lostbelt Podado...
Bottomless fissures riddled the earth, through which one could faintly see the ruined worlds connected to them.
Those were once Inner Seas of the Planet.
Darkness, cold, and deathly silence. These were the embers left after the Great Extinction.
But...
The battle was not over.
"I am born of heaven and earth, I am the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Humanity, why do you stand before Me?!"
Flames!
Blazing flames radiating endless light and heat blanketed the sky and earth, rolling through the clouds from the high heavens. The blinding light felt as if two suns were slowly rising.
But immediately after, a body of steel, more colossal than mountains and more vigorous than cities, stood up amidst the thin mists.
That was not the sun; those were the Stone Monkey's eyes.
That was not a mountain either, but the Stone Monkey's ten-thousand-zhang true form, sitting in the lotus position.
The flames burning the sky were nothing more than the raging mercy of the Buddha within his eyes.
Merely by standing up, he pierced the cloud layer. His magnificent body, weighing who knows how many quadrillions of jin, stood erect upon the earth. Like two solar disks, his golden flames gazed down from above the stratosphere.
As if gazing at something insignificant.
"Humanity. Let what is past dissipate; let what is old die. Only by letting go of the past can one walk toward the future, and can a new self grow from the wreckage of the old days. This is... the Principle of Heavenly Evolution!"
Accompanying his voice, Heroic Spirits—some merciful, some kind—emerged from the void with pity...
Oh, humanity.
The greatest mercy to you is to perish in this moment and be reborn in the future~
"No. The past can be reproduced, and regrets can be redeemed. This is the miracle named 'Will,' the brand of us humans burning in history!!"
A small yet firm voice transmitted from within the mountains beneath the Stone Monkey's feet.
One, two, three... Countless ancient heroes stood forth as Heroic Spirits, exchanging a smile with their Master.
Yes.
This was their human will.
"Is that so?"
The Stone Monkey lowered his brow, sighing with the mercy of a Buddha.
The Anchor of the World, known as the Ruyi Jingu Bang, was slowly raised, and then ruthlessly swung down.
"Then step over Me!!"
This was not a battle of past good and evil, love and hate, nor a Battle against a Beast of Humanity.
It was not a duel of survival and stance between gods and men, different Lostbelts, or different world lines.
The calamity of the end had no right or wrong, only a difference in ideals.
The past and the future, regret and hope, the collision of different ideologies...
Its name—Terminus of the Abyssal Star Corpse.
....
"...So hot, burning me to death..."
Roser felt hotter and hotter, as if he were on fire.
He suddenly snapped his eyes open. In his pitch-black pupils, a divine starry symbol seemed to flash and vanish.
"Damn it, feels like my brain fluid is boiling and my internal organs are about to be cooked... Did I really catch fire?!"
Roser looked down and saw a stream of flames actually rising from his scorching chest and abdomen. The blazing fire had already burned more than half of his shirt and nearly ignited his hair.
He immediately rolled onto the floor, quickly extinguishing the flames.
"Matrix, what is going on?"
Roser was completely bewildered.
"Creator, originally you created two types of Magecraft inscribed upon your soul. However, just now when you activated Overclocking, your soul was also ignited in that moment. It was the final straw, causing a qualitative change."
"??"
Roser hurriedly pulled up his personal panel.
Creator: [Roser]
Life Level: [Mortal (Extraordinary)]
Theoretical Lifespan: [103]
Attributes: [Body: Normal], [Soul: Extraordinary], [Energy: Normal (Vitality)]
Traits: [Strong (F)], [Dexterous (F)]... [Soul Ignition (Rank D)]
Skills: [Acting (B)], [Riding]... [Annihilation Dragon Grand Fire], [Gate of the Left]...
Functions: [Fate], [Creation], [Deduction]
Heavenly Dao Jades: [7.1]
The other things hadn't changed much.
Aside from his Life Level changing to [Extraordinary] and two newly created Magecrafts appearing in the skill slot.
The biggest change was the addition of an attribute column.
Clearly, the reason he stepped into the Extraordinary level was that his soul had undergone a qualitative change.
The so-called 'Extraordinary', simply put, meant breaking the limits of the human body.
Although he was still a mortal, a chasm had already opened between him and ordinary people.
An athlete's single physical attribute could reach four or five times that of a normal person, and their comprehensive quality could reach three times.
But even world record holders were far from the limits of the human body.
Because the physical limit of the human body is about nine times that of a normal person.
Of course, since this broken world actually has Conan...
Then clearly, there are quite a few people who have broken the human limit.
After all, kicking a stone pillar in half requires an explosive force of four or five tons, no matter how you put it.
At least twenty or thirty times that of a normal person.
However, he didn't know if there were any who had broken limits in terms of the soul...
In other words, his soul strength was at least a dozen times that of a normal person.
The advantage was that when casting Magecraft without the Matrix's assistance, his control and casting speed would be significantly reduced, but the power and recovery rate would rise drastically.
Then if he did it a few more times...
"It is not recommended for the Creator to continue. This method is essentially burning oneself. A recovery period of one month is suggested; otherwise, there may be future consequences.
"This survival was only because the Creator used Heavenly Dao Jades to protect your vitality.
"Normally, the instant a human brain Overclocks, they would die within 0.03 seconds."
Understood.
Commonly known as 'SEED Mode', right...
"Forget it then, water first..."
Roser couldn't hold out anymore; he felt his body was about to turn into a dried corpse, suffering needle-like pain all over.
He grabbed ice water from the fridge and downed it in one breath, then stuffed two burgers and a box of beef jerky into his mouth in just a few bites.
"Finally came back to life..."
Only after eating a pile of pre-prepared meals did Roser slowly exhale a breath.
Although it had hurt like hell.
That feeling of brain Overclocking, as if he were omnipotent and everything was so simple, was truly too exhilarating.
But business was more important...
"Matrix, has my inspiration been recorded?"
"Recorded, Creator."
"That's good. Now, use that as a foundation to deduce a fifteen-minute, 100% realistic CG. Optimize the soundtrack in my head, but don't change the keynote; that is emotional rendering you cannot understand."
"Yes, Creator."
Roser nodded.
That simple segment was the integration of the entertainment essence from the information explosion era of his previous world, adapted into the Type-Moon system.
It wasn't purely Type-Moon; after all, in a normal Type-Moon, there isn't a Lostbelt called Soul Society...
And he wasn't purely integrating things; this world itself was a hometown for transmigrators. Who knew if a wave of reverse-transmigration would happen someday?
Roser took out his laptop and rapidly browsed the online games of this world.
Some fantasy-style ones still existed, but Souls-like games were completely extinct.
However, this didn't matter.
He would directly have the Matrix hijack the global gaming platforms. They couldn't ban him even if they wanted to.
"Creator, the task is complete. Should I publish it?"
"Wait. First, make me an emblem with a dead starry sky above and ruined earth below, with a light rising that looks like both a bonfire and the sun. Use it as the production company logo."
Roser thought for a moment, synthesizing Dark Souls and Warhammer to come up with a Type-Moon style logo.
Soon.
A game company appeared like a ghost on all major platforms.
Icon: Star Soul in the Darkness.
Company Name: Chaldeas.
Developer: Merlin's Fun Little Hut!
Production Team: Chaldea Midnight Quartet.
Director: Big Brother Merlin!
Location: Avalon!
Graphics: Otherworld-Level Virtual Reality.
Language: Omni-lingual (Anyone can understand. How about that? Magecraft is magical, isn't it?)
Release Date: Da-da-da-daaa~ One month from now!
.....
Tokyo Metropolitan Area.
"Good lord, being this arrogant?"
At the headquarters of Neon's largest game platform, "FULLDRIVE".
Taiga Narumi, the audit manager with thinning hair, rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Just in the blink of an eye.
This 'Chaldeas' game company had passed the audit right under his nose and even received the Gold Lightning verification mark.
It even arranged the biggest ad slot for its own game trailer.
Holy crap, it even set up pop-up windows. Did we even make this function?
Taiga Narumi's face turned green.
Aren't hackers these days a bit too wild?
"Ban him! He's too arrogant! Ban the account, blacklist the company for fifty years—no, a hundred years!"
The next moment.
"Section Chief, we can't ban it! That account is like a ghost; we can't find it at all!!"
