The sky above the Aeternum Empire was dark and ominous, with thick clouds swirling ominously. The moon, barely visible through the haze, provided the only source of light, casting eerie shadows across the forest floor. In the depths of the forest, a man stood in a small clearing, surrounded by tall trees that seemed to be watching him intently. He was dressed in tattered robes, his face twisted in a grimace of pain and concentration as he chanted in a language that was unfamiliar to most. The words he spoke were ancient and powerful and carried a sense of desperation and urgency that echoed through the trees. As he continued to chant, the ground beneath him began to shake, and the air crackled with otherworldly energy.

As the man continued to chant, the air around him began to vibrate with otherworldly energy, and a faint glow appeared around him. The trees around the clearing seemed to lean in closer as if drawn in by the power of the incantation. Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light, and a figure materialized before him.

It was a being that radiated an omnipotent aura, summoned to this world by the desperate incantations of the man. The being stood at over 6 feet tall, with an aura as black as the abyss and eyes that glowed like embers. The air around him seemed to hum with power, and the man could feel the weight of his presence pressing down upon him.

The being surveyed the man with a look that was both curious and composed. Its voice rumbled through the clearing, deep and menacing, as it spoke a language that was foreign and guttural. The man could feel his heart racing in his chest, but he stood his ground, knowing that the being before him was the key to his vengeance.

For a moment, the man could only stare in awe at the being before him. He had heard stories of powerful being like gods but never believed that such a being could truly exist. Now, he found himself face to face with one of the most powerful creatures from the abyss.

With a voice that sounded like it could shake mountains, Solomnis spoke: "Why have you summoned me, human?"

Solomnis looked down at the man lying on the ground, covered in blood and unusual state. He knew he had been summoned into another world by this desperate individual. "What is it that you desire?" Again Solomnis asked in a deep and powerful voice.

The man's eyes widened at the sound of Solomnis' voice, and he struggled to speak through the pain. "I want revenge," he managed to say, his voice barely above a whisper. "I want those who have wronged me to suffer as I have suffered."

Solomnis studied the man for a moment, his piercing gaze seeming to see right through him. He could feel the power emanating from the man's body, fueled by his anger and desire for vengeance.

"And what will you offer me in exchange for my services?" Solomnis asked, his voice unwavering.

The man grimaced in pain, but a look of determination crossed his face. "My soul," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "I will give you my soul in exchange for your help."

Knowing that his soul has no value to use it.

Solomnis nodded, and continue to face the dying man. "Very well," he said. "I accept your offer."

With that, Solomnis reached out a hand and touched the man's forehead. The man felt a rush of power course through his body before falling to the ground, his lifeless body lying in a crumpled heap.

Solomnis commanded his AI system to go through the memories of the summoner to learn more about what had happened to him.

"Commencing Search.....

Accessing the memories of the summoner. Scanning for relevant information regarding his current state.

Memories accessed....The summoner was a test subject in a laboratory that was involved with a dark society lurking around the empire. He was undergoing experimentation along with other students. The experiments were designed to enhance their magical abilities beyond their natural limits.

However, the experiments had disastrous consequences. The summoner's magical powers became uncontrollable, and he was unable to control the massive amounts of magical energy flowing through his body. To prevent a catastrophic result, the experimentation put him in a state of suspended animation until a solution could be found.

It seems that the summoner managed to escape from the academy but was severely weakened due to the prolonged state of suspension. He manage to summon you, using the summoning spell he learned and now he wants to exchange his soul for his revenge.

Is there any other information you would like me to gather, or is this sufficient for your needs?" AI says after its detailed answer.

The dead body of that man gradually grows a crystal on his body due to the adverse effect of the White capsule that they keep taking on, that their body changes. At last, the summoner's body become crystalize,

Suddenly chain binders fell from the sky, circling the body of Solomnis. The chains glowed with an ethereal light and emitted a faint humming sound. Solomnis looked down at the chains, feeling a sense of discomfort and restriction.

He asked AI what are those chains binding him.

"Commencing Database Skill…

Information has been found!

The chain binders that are currently circling you, Host, are known as curse chains. They are a powerful magic that was cast by the World Rule, the governing authority of this world, to restrict the power of powerful beings from other worlds.

The curse chains are designed to limit the power of those who possess immense magical abilities, like you, to prevent them from causing chaos and destruction. They emit an ethereal light and a faint humming sound, which indicate that they are functioning properly and are actively restricting your abilities."

"I can see the obvious AI" Solomnis reply

"Breaking free from these chains could have catastrophic consequences, as it would unleash your full power and potentially cause massive destruction. There is no information in this world on how to break the curse, most likely because you are the only one that has been cursed or the world rule is purposely not giving me access to the information." AI continues to respond

Is there any other information you would like me to gather, or is this sufficient for your needs?" ending its statement

"Seeing that AI does not have access to the information means it's true." Solomnis thought " This world rule knows immediately my presence and put a curse on me, how intriguing this is" as he look up at the sky.

------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Who could have thought that an omnipotent being can be summoned to this magical world? At the start a normal teenage boy is living on earth, he was named William, but unfortunately, by the age of 15, he died from his hereditary disease. However, his soul was not able to pass on to the afterlife and instead, it was drawn into a vortex that led him to the abyss.

An abyss that you will lose the will to live as you see events taking place that will make you kill yourself. Monsters on different levels, demons you could say are fighting and killing on the infinite battlefield. Allies are word that has no existence in the abyss as all have no concept of trusting the nature of that world.

The creatures In the abyss were not like the typical monsters found in books and legends. They were monsters of monsters, with resistance to magic that was beyond anything William can comprehend. To survive, William had to adapt and develop new techniques and strategies. He learned how to sense and predict the movements of his opponents, how to use their strengths against them, and other fundamentals for his survival.

William spent countless years in the abyss, honing his magical abilities and fighting against the unusual creatures that roamed its depths. At first, he was weak and struggled to survive, but he gradually became stronger and more skilled with each passing day.

While fighting through death in the endless battle he focused on enhancing his magical power and combat abilities to make it more destructive. Making him create only a destructive spell and technique to overcome this madness and adversity.

With the help of an AI system, luckily he has this system just like the novel he has read on Earth. Help him a lot to know things in the abyss, he relied on his AI system to help him strategize and analyze the situation at hand. With their vast database of information and analytical abilities, he was able to overcome even the toughest opponents. Using any means of possibilities they can make up to.

As he continued to fight and sieved William found himself losing touch with his humanity. He became ruthless, seeing all other creatures as nothing more than obstacles to overcome for his survival. The constant fighting and killing left him numb and desensitized, and he found it increasingly difficult to feel anything at all. He had become a monster, a being that was feared by all the creatures in the abyss that he slayed.

As the one who is omnipotent in the abyss, the abyss named him a title "SOLOMNIS" the ruler of ABYSS 0 level 0.

He took 100,000 years to kill all the creatures that keep on respawning. William finds it strange when he thinks that there will be no end in the abyss but it did stop. Also what's with the title he got, does it mean there is also another abyss just like this one he was in? That is the only conclusion he can make seeing that he is in Abyss 0 with a level of 0, does it mean that he is in the lowest level?

He cannot gain an answer from his AI for the Database Skill it does not have access to the information. He decided not to think much about it, instead, he began to search for how to leave the Abyss.

"Hey AI, what information do you have access to on ways I can use to get out in this Abyss." He commanded the AI 10,000 times, expecting it to give a new answer compared to the last time.

In his thousand attempts to find out ways he can use to return to his world, the AI always responds that it does not have access to the information regarding how he can return to his world.

Responding… … .

Data acquired… ..

Finalizing complete… … .

There is a way that the host can leave the abyss, however, the rule implies that the host cannot return to his original world because it can cause intrusion on that world that is not involved in magic. Moreover, the host can transport to another world that is imbued with magic and the host can enter other world without affecting the rule.

"That is unexpected, that you for almost not usable in this case have the answer now." He says disrupting the conversation "Go on tell me the ways for me to get out of this hell." adding on.

The host may use two ways as described:

Portal- You can use a portal to connect you to other worlds, but this way cannot be used as the Abyss is an independent realm that doesn't link to any world. Hence, the abyss is blocking the path for you to use the Portal.

"I see portal cannot be used then, alright, tell me the other one and make sure that it's a good one" William calmly said

"

Continuing…

Summoning- can be used when another world is being used a spell to summon a creature from other realms. Requirements needed, a summoner from the other world. Therefore, the host can be summoned to another world if you are lucky to be summoned by being in that world." The AI informed William with conviction, telling him even if it is possible to leave the Abyss yet it is impossible because of the circumstances.

Is there any other information you would like me to gather, or is this sufficient for your needs?"

Hearing those things made William unleash a tremendous wave amount of his magical power.

" What is the point of telling me there is a chance when the possibility is pretty low, even if the probability is non-zero what is the use!" he grinned his teeth, showing disappointment on his face.

The AI did not comment and left William with thoughts.

/////////////7 years on earth time has passed/////////////

This time without a single idea William feels an unfamiliar feeling, it is likely the same as when he was falling into the vortex and entering the Abyss in some way that it was still different. As it was suctioning him, his body start to glow and enter a state of slowly disappearing.

Finally, when he opened his eyes, a distinct atmosphere welcomed him, a cold breeze of air swarming the surroundings, and the moon shining a splendid bright of the night. Trees danced with the wind following their path and a silent night with restful sounds displaying over the place. It was a peaceful environment compared to an abyss full of madness.

Ultimately different from the abyss, William felt a warm feeling on his chest. After a moment of contemplating his surroundings, he sees first the man lying on his chest on the ground at the center of a magic spell. From the gist of the situation it was a summoning spell, he supposed.

To continue, the summoner on the verge of death unfurls his resentfulness making a deal for his vengeance with William in exchange for his soul. Trivial that his soul has no expense to William, he agreed with the dying wish of the man. Even though it has no meaning for him, in exchange for letting him out into the abyss, it is only a grateful thing to do.

"Hey AI locate where is the location of this clandestine facility." Order his system to find out where it is. Judging that the man barely manages to run off the place, that means it is in the radius.

"Understood…

Locating the target via the memories…

Mapping out/ 1km radius- not found

10km radius- not found/ 15km radius…

Searching… … target found

A total of approximately 346 traces of living were found at a distance of 13.7km to the north. With the trace of the footprint of the human, more likely he came from there. And… …understood"

"STOP! That is only the thing I need to know" he interjects what the AI saying and switches on the map function of the AI to visually see where it is. When he finally sees the exact location he immediately departs.

Quickly by using Warp he immediately arrived at his destination. Assessing where he was, the entrance to enter is a one-way out, it was a caved that they make it as a facility. If you look it up normally you can only see just a normal mountain, however, the mountains and their surroundings are affected by illusion magic. In that case, the eye of those who experience a thousand illusionary magic, cannot fool him.

"So this is it, using such low-level magic to hide this place, what a disappointment" William murmured to himself

William uses invisibility magic to conceal his physical appearance and a technique with magic to hide his total presence, even his breathing. He enters the facility easily, without the watchman noticing him. Not alarming a single man he passes by he already made it to the 5th lower floor, in total there is 12 floor underground. The laboratory is wide enough to experiment with a thousand subjects.

From what his AI gathered, this laboratory is experimenting with how to make humans stronger by making their magical power increase alongside their mana with the use of their developing white capsule. And black capsule to make the magical beast stronger than its average strength. Based on what they are doing, the potential is they are making powerful soldiers in preparation for something big to come. Aside from the human test subject they have, they are making a weaponized soldier using magic and technology.

Moving inward, the 7th floor is unsightly, where the dead bodies of failed test subjects more than a hundred. The similarities of the dead bodies are having a bright crystal illuminating and growing out in their bodies. From the feeling those crystal are mana crystal, this manner simply points out that when the body cannot handle the white capsule, the mana within the body crystalize.

"What an excruciating pain way to die, that man is lucky to escape this place with this tight security." He estimates thinking of what could that man do for his escape.

Observing the floors it surely is neatly made done as it properly designs for its different purpose. The first to the 3rd lower floor, are occupied with security and surveillance room. They are using a sensory type of magic and technology to sense when some anomaly is happening on every floor. While the rest of the floor is where the experimentation is held on.

Entering the 12th floor, was bizarre as it takes you to a highly condensed mana emulator. The scene was a big ball of red crystal around 10-meter height, it is floating above red water concentrating to make a lake on par with its size. The water is stimulating the red crystal feeding it with tremendous mana.

"Hey AI, what is that big red ball" asking with his curiosity, wondering on could it be?

"Search initializing… ..

Commencing comparison attribute… ..

10%... 20%.... 30%... 50%..... 70%.... 90… … .. 99%.. 100%

Information found…..

It is a core stone, having the red color attribute that indicates it is an inductor of fire elements. It is denser than mana crystal, and it accumulate an already 1000 year worth of mana..so, this crystal is more potent in terms of its power compared to normal mana crystals. Hence, this is a Mature core stone that can be used to make massive explosions and a wave of fire or a source of mana for at least a hundred years." Stating the information it found.

Is there any other information you would like me to gather, or is this sufficient for your needs?" ending the information

"This probably means, this organization is planning on making a large one that is impending. Tough luck I found it, this would make them trouble." He utters scheming on something "alright let's end this now, let's start the vengeance that I promise but before that let's have these soldiers" he added of what he said

" Does the host planning on destroying this place?" the AI just asked a question.

"There is no need for that, let's add an interesting for this," William answered lying on his teeth.

"Force Field" He cast a spell around the whole Mountain making all of the people in the surroundings not able to move on their knees because of the gravitational force bending them down.

Then he cast 3 consecutive spells "FIND, SNIPE, and BLACK Beam" to kill all the people in the laboratory except for the human test subject. Without him moving an inch and using great effort, he has killed hundred of being in just one go by projecting a beam of darkness that can easily penetrate a very hard object on their heads.

William plans to surprise that organization and intends to make it look like the place just suddenly abandoned by the people except for those dying subjects. As he commanded "Swallow" all of the bodies were swallowed by darkness and just like that no trace was left even their blood.

"Well to finally end this, let's settle these soldiers they made with an ability that can nullify magic." He said facing the only entrance for the soldiers, and thinking if he will use enough magic to destroy them in one piece or just destroy them one by one. The curse restriction would not let him use a spell that can destroy a mountain besides he doesn't want to destroy the laboratory because of his interesting plan.

Around 50 soldiers in total are swarming him making a move to kill him, each of the soldiers is equipped with technology and armor that can nullify magic. "Let us see, this should be enough" he utter, while he gather his mana forming a thousand lines of concentrated fire that reaches 5,000 degrees Celsius making a square surrounding and locking the soldiers. Gradually moving cornering and compressing, the soldiers were sliced into cubes ending them not even a sweat.

He again uses his darkness to swallow those pieces to not leave a single one, just that the vengeance of that man is fulfilled.

William uses Warp and ascended into the sky above the mountain and he takes a deep breath. Now watching the moon, contemplating what next he would do. It was a relief that he was feeling, at last, he can breathe nice air.

"Hey AI can you tell me who is the main culprit of this dark society, and all of those involved and its followers." William Seriously asks as he wants to know everything.

"Apology, as an AI I cannot tell such information on the host regarding what you are asking, as I do not have the authority to tell you this information. For, this might render an adverse effect on the future." AI explained by it cannot provide such information.

For a moment of silence, William replied "Are you sure AI that you are on my side, you are lying to me aren't you?" asking for his validation.

".. … … …" However the AI did not reply just quietly leaving its host in silence.
