~Normal fonts like this are talking normally. While Italic fonts will be thoughts of the main character. Ding the system will remain normal as if talking to the main character. () What are within, are the actions of the people around the Main Character. I'm trying some new things in this novel so it may be difficult at the start. Leave comments below so I can improve on this style of writing.
DGEGS: Devil God Entertainment Gaming System
Chapter 1:
(Lighting flashes through the sky above an mountain surrounded by Heavenly fog. Left one feeling as if the world itself is grieving.)
Clash
(Atop the mountain, within an room where the laws of the world were the strongest. Lay a man, if possible to call him that, breathing slower and weaker each passing moment.)
'So, this is the end of my journey. *sigh* I always thought I would break through that final limit. So close, yet everything that I have built all this time will be left without a proper successor. My students, I trust them with my life and believe that they're ready to keep moving on without me. Yet, *hahaha* they guard themselves from each other and push themselves into a power struggle.'
Clash
(The old man looked with his profound eyes, that seem to know the limits of the world and heavens itself, towards a grand hall filled with his students and their disciples.)
'Haaa how a millennium just flew by. How it flew by while I was busy with running this Sect. In the end, I couldn't find a proper successor that could surpass me and suppress all outside forces. All I could do is divide my territory into 7 powers for my students. Even while on my deathbed I made all 7 of them swear an oath, to the Heavens and their soul, to never bear arms towards one another. Once they agreed I could feel the separation of my soul and its process of dissolving speeding up.'
Clash
(With his eyes he could see that they are waiting for my death to begin their plots and schemes to take control.)
'They think that can fool this old man's eyes with their petty tricks when they swore the oath. If they would have truly swore without schemes or tricks they could have gotten what they desired. All I wanted was to see the purity that I once saw in them even if it is a little. However, I guess it is the failure of , I, their master for letting them fall to such a scale.'
(Sadly looking away from the scene before him. Knowing all too well that my grand-disciples will soon be broiled into an succession war for power)
'If I could go back to those simple times with you again. I would leave everything for you'. *hahaha* "You said I would regret my choice later in life. I guess you're right James everything was for not. Everything was pointless and void of any joyment or feeling of happiness."
Clash
(At this moment the old man no longer had any of the 5 senses. The only thing he notice now were the roar of thunder announcing his end)
Unknown voice: "If you could go back would you cast aside your future, free will, and the future that could have been. You'll forever be at the beck and call to another power. What would your answer be...."
(This deep hoarse voice laced with a feeling of acquinity spoke directly to the soul of the man without any possible resistance. One must remember that the old man may be at his end but he is still a peerless powerhouse in the known reality.)
Clash
(Knowing alot about the laws/rules of reality. The old man knew that at this moment his body has already died and his soul was about to disperse.)

'Must be my last thoughts before passing...hun... even so, I'll give and do anything'
Clash
(Through the void of nothingness the old man could see an rift forming and greater laws of time and space shifted to an unknown rhythm.)
Unknown voice: "Kid, I'll grant your wish just because I'm a bored God of Death. I want to see how you'll spend your second life. I'll even throw in a little gift and see what fun will happen to ya...*hahah*. Remember if you don't let me enjoy myself you will regret ever making a deal with me."
Clash
Ding* "ID: DGEGS20194 activated... Processing.... Intergrading.... Opening passage... Death God Entertainment Gaming System User Number 20194"
Clash
Ding* "DGEGS20194 transferring data of soul... Welcome to Death God Entertainment Gaming System... We are not responsible for loss of memory, destruction of soul, or total body imprisonment for problems occurring during soul fusion and transfer. May you bring enjoyment to our Lord." ^.^
Clash
'Wait..' (Blacks out)
"Over the years there has been many different types of theories that explain the creation of reality. One, the scientific theory of the Big Bang. Second, things like Chinese essence or so called God ascension theory. Lastly, of the major theories that I want to talk about is the dream or computer/digital theory."
(In a simple 20 x 25 yd room with checkered flooring alternation between white and light brown. Walls painted with a light creamed color and a white board in the front of the room. Along with a project mounted to the ceiling. This room was filled with about 20-25 youths. With a 30 year old woman in front of the room pointing at the projection displayed on the whiteboard.)
'Where is this? What's going on? Hold up, hold up here; why am I here. This cannot be a rebirth can it? No, it's more like a temporal shift or maybe soul timed transference. However, all of that is not within my abilities or that on anyone in the current Era of Man. Maybe in the Era of Elves or Dragons, no, not possible either they are basically bonded by the orders of the Heavens. Heavens, right Gods or Devils.'
Ding* "That is correct. Our dear Lord is the highest and most talented God of all. Feared and loved by all, the wonderful, glo~rious, God of Death." ^.^
(The 30ish old lady looked at the clock to the side of the room. Noticing the time she turned off the projector and turned on the lights.)
"Alright, we'll end it here today. Remember for next class ya'll must research a certain topic about creation of your choice and bring an outline for your paper. This will count for 20% for your overall grade. Even if Texas allow AP students to bypass the pass/fail requirement for extracurricular activities it will still affect your overall GPA. "

(Distinct chatter of students)
'Calm down and think a bit. This is just a break or shift it doesn't matter either way. Even if it is a different reality from the normal one from which I came; this is now my reality. From what I can remember, this is a history course in my sophomore year in High School. *HaHaHa* right I remember this is the course that snake like bastard and I shared.'
"Hey Alec, Alec! Alecccc!!!"
'Speak of the Devil and He shall appear.'
(A young man about 16 years old, with a slim build around 5'10. Even though one would think he would look weak with this body type but David still gave off a feeling of strength. One can see the awakening masculine charm through his youthful appearance. Even the angular fringe hairstyle with his light brown hair gives off the feeling of wildness to highlight his budding confidence in life.)
"What do ya what David?"
David: "Just wondering why you're spacing out. We need to go to Mrs. Terry's Pre-Calculus course. You know how she is about arriving on time." (He turns around and begin to walk away) "Hurry up it's on the other side of the school and we only have 5 minutes. How the hell can they expect us to get to where we need in 5 minutes while also fighting everyone else in a narrow hallway to our next class."
(Gathering my materials quickly and following David) 'Such a simple life. It's been so long since I had such a burden free existence. Hey, Ding, Dingy, Little Di. You there?'
Ding* "....." Did something happen during the transfer. "Yes"
'Let's get straight to the point. What can ya offer for me and your purpose?'
Ding* "In this world, from what I understand. I am an interface that allows you to grow, learn, evolve, and protects you in certain instances. Like in this world games I keep your progress, allow you to purchase in store items, and most importantly the quest menu. First two are explainable by themselves, since you original came from here, you know them better than myself. While the quest menu is where our beloved Death God places tasks you must accomplish."
(Feels of warmth coming from right hand. After feeling the strange warmth I take look and see a skull wearing a golden crown inlay with three jewel in the center surrounded by white lotuses)
"Hey, Ding, What is this symbol?"
Ding* "That is the Nobel mark of our lord Death God ^.^ It is also the origin of the system. All you need to do is pass your thoughts into the symbol to access the interface. To see what our lord has given you for his entertainment. "
