A huge splashing sound was heard and he sank in the river like a gigantic rock, his eyes were open yet the deep was so dark, the water colder than his own father's deeds .
As he slowly felt the breath leaving him his eyes started to regain some vision.
" Is this the light people see before dying ?"
but the light was.. purple? similar to that sphere.
The wheelchair crushed to a underwater rock which luckily freed him, yet he still could not take command of his limbs and continued to sink .
The deeper he sank the brighter it got, it didnt take long for him to spot a purple sphere right below him.
He tried his best to hold onto his breath but his weak body was failing, it had already been a minute.
By the time he reached it he was nearing death from drowning, but just as he was about to pass out he felt pain on his forehead. HE HAD REACHED THE PURPLE SPHERE ...
The familiar light covered his whole body and information entered his mind.
- You have been assigned the title of Lord . CONGTRATULATIONS
- You have awakened the legendary profession ' PaperMan ' CONGRATULATIONS
A lifeless voice notified him on his brain, then a blue window appeared in front of him .
- Would you like to be teleported to your assigned territory ?
There were no options to choose so he screamed YES a thousand times with his inner voice , soon a puff sound was heard and he found himself far away.
When he opened his eyes he found himself laying in the ground, every bone on his body was hurting .
He placed his hand to his heart and he felt it to be beating so hard, he never wished to go through something like that again ..
" hmm.. wait a second "
He just realised the he was able to move his hand.
" Am I healed? "
The amazing feeling of being alive conquered him, he tried standing up but he fell down again..
He continued to try several times until he finally found himself standing, next to him was the purple sphere.
"This is different from my grandpas, its twice bigger"
The moment he touched it another window showed up before him .
- Welcome to the Purple Cloud territory, place the sphere on the earth to spawn your village.
So many weird things had happened in a single day that it didnt even feel bizarre to him anymore, he simply did what the notification window told him.
He shoved the sphere as deep as he could in the ground until more light started to radiate out of it.
Then the most amazing thing happened, the light first took shape of a wooden house and then gave life to it, then it continued to spawn 5 more buildings that seemed so foreign to him .
After it was done with the buildings, the light that came out took the form of 3 humans until they became reality, Erin immeditely tried running away.
His experience with humans had not been very pleasant hence why he developed a sense of caution everytime he was near them, besides, a human that spawned from a sphere was not something ever heard of, so this was a normal human reaction to change and to the unknown.
" My lord where are you going ? What is concerning you "
Erin moved his head to see if there was someone standing behind him, but there was none.
" Are you guys talking to me ? "
The 3 humans now developed distinguishing features, one was tall and muscular wearing leather armour, one was short and buffed holding an hammer while the other one was an old man holding a pen.
" Who else would we be talking to my lord, you are the lord of this village "
Erin finally stopped backing away and decided to hear them out, but at that moment another notification window popped up.
- The side effects of Talium entering your body like bone pain and fatigue have dissapeared, you have returned to your normal state. Talium has merged with your DNA completely, do you wish to look at your stats ?
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
YES, he thought again and as if hearing his thoughts a bigger window popped up.

After he read their stats all three of them knelt in form of greeting, and even thought it sounded cringe Erin had read enough books to know they wont move until he accepts their loyalty.
" Greetings to you all, thanks for coming to my aid I wouldnt be able to survive without you "
Their facial expressions turned smiley and they all stood up by his side .
After finishing spawning, the purple sphere shrinked into the size of a pearl and placed itself on Erin's finger, golden threads attached it to his finger permanently and it did not take long for it to take the appearance of a ring .
- PurpleCloud ring of Lords ( Talium Ring )
-The ring wishes to pass information to the lord.
Erin immeditely agreed to it, the changes were drastic and understanding his situation would help him survive .
After the purple light entered his brain, he learnt more about the new life that was awaiting him.
40% of the world's population had awakened with less than one percent gaining a lord's title .
All the remaining unawakened humans had gained boosted physical prowess and modified genes to help them survive the drastic changes .
All the awakened and lords had a Talium Ring, Irwin's and all the other lord's rings were legendary while the awakened had rings from normal grade to epic grades .
The ring was the most important item in this game, the experience you got from completing tasks leveled it up and made you stronger, while for lords not only made them stronger but also upgraded their villages .
The rings were connected to a marketplace that could be accesible globally for the first 7 days so that they would be able to survive until they adapt.
After 7 days major cities will spawn all over the world and the players can visit them and buy things,sell things, open up shops etc .
In short, the world had become akin to ancient civilisations, and all he knew was that for the first time in his life he was not disabled and had the chance to enjoy life, away from all the treacherous humans. In his territory he was a lord and at the very least he wasnt going to be tortured or mistreated.
After organising his thoughts he also found out that the village had stats as well, so he quickly took a look.
