A man, bound by black chains and held tightly by the arms by two large soldiers. Both clad in thick silver armor, as well as a silver helmet on their heads that covered their eyes, on the forehead of the helmet was the insignia of a golden bird, a phoenix to be more exact. Around the bird was an incomplete circle of flames, outside that circle were 6 stars. Each star represented the 6 stratums.

The lowest and 6th star represented the 6th stratum. Which was the rank of Commoner, where weak beings were classified

The 5th star represented the 5th stratum, of which was where those of Noble rank were classified.

The 4th star represented the 4th stratum, of which was where those of Royal rank were classified.

The 3rd star represented the 3rd stratum, of which was where those who were designated as Dominator Candidates are classified.

The 2nd star represented the most powerful publicly known force in existence, the 2nd stratum where the Dominators themselves were classifed. Dominators are beings whose power far outweighs those of the other stratums, also being rumored to have existed when the planets were first created. Once a Dominator dies, resigns, or is executed, their position goes to that of the most worthy Dominator Candidate. Who then receives the experiences of all previous Dominators who held the position, as well as a significant increase in their own abilities.

Finally, the 1st star, which was only shown on anything confidential or purely made for the Dominators to see and/or use, represented the 1st stratum, which was that of which Creators were ranked. There are only 5 creators, all of whom have existed far before the beginning of time, and created all of existence, including the first Dominators. The Creators are never killed, nor do they die or resign, they simply wait in the shadows for something that peaked their interest.

This man, who was restrained, had long black, messy hair reaching his feet. Six arms each appearing as if they were made entirely of a thick, metallic armor. Outlined in burgundy, while the inner parts were pitch black. The rest of the man's features were shrouded in darkness as he approached his grim fate. The man was one of the most infamous, and powerful Dominators in existence. The "Asura Lord" capable of crushing worlds with a single punch and travelling at, if not more, than the speed of light.

The man smiled, revealing his sharp and frightening teeth. "I swear to you Athena, I will not die, I'll come back and take my revenge for what you have done."

In front of the man, was a large, lavish golden throne. The six stars seemingly floated around it, not moving despite not being attached to any surface. Atop the throne sat a giant woman. Wearing a white toga, with a golden belt similar to an olive vine that started from her right hip to her left shoulder across the back, coming down, it formed a circle that allowed it to conceal both hips. Similar to the way a human would wear a seat belt, however this was not connected to any chair. Her porcelain colored skin was flawless, devoid of blemishes and bumps. Her body curvaceous and beautiful, beyond that of a model's. Her eyes were a chocolate brown and her long, silky hair a brilliant blonde. She had a type of radiance surrounding her that'd hypnotize anyone, whether they were man or woman. On her head, stood a golden headband braided with golden olive vines. It glowed with a beautiful and warm light, this crown signified that the wearer was the current leader of the Dominators. Even if they were not the strongest, they were the most respected and influential of the rest, the crown would shift in accordance to the wearers personality.

The woman smiled "Your empty threats have no effect on me. Despite your attempts to escape punishment for your crimes, I have finally caught you. Now it is time for your life to come to an end."

Before the Asura Lord could reply, a large magic circle appeared above him. It was a brilliant orange color, like that of polished copper. The two guards attached the chains restraining the Asura Lord to two poles, then left the area.

The Asura Lord struggled, attempting to break the chains to no avail. An evil smirk was shown on Athena's face as the Magic circle began to glow, forming three smaller ones underneath it.

In one final act of retaliation, as soon as a golden beam was shot from the final magic circle, the Asura Lord removed his soul from his body. Before Athena could notice, the soul of the Asura Lord, now dormant, was shot down into the vast emptiness of space from the lavish kingdom planet of the Dominators.

Despite being dormant and unconscious, the Asura Lord's soul traversed the endless void for a body that it could easily possess. For years he found bodies and possessed them, only for them to explode upon absorbing his power.

Finally, after several millennia, the soul arrived at Earth. Where it had found one last perfect candidate. A 16-year old boy, his body was in an unhealthy shape. Most would call him fat, maybe even obese. He wore glasses and a navy blue school uniform. He had short black, messy hair and his eyes were brown, although with him keeping his head down you'd barely notice. He was carrying a stack of books as he went to his next class.

The spirit dashed towards him, entering his body. However, not wanting to repeat it's previous mistakes. It transmuted itself into something more...accommodating. It turned itself into a technological interface, similar to that of a modern online rpg game. As it was the only thing that the spirit knew the body it possessed would be able to handle.

However, as it entered the boy, instead of taking control, it had simply occupied his mind. This was because of the boy's intense determination to change his life, the spirit had underestimated him. Taking him as a weak mind he could easily control. However, his own resolve far outweighed that of the Asura Lord's taste for revenge.

Instead of getting furious, as the Asura Lord woke from his dormant rest, he was intrigued. The boy would not have immediate access to his power, but he now had no way to even unlock it. This was when he had an idea to further change the makeup of the system of which he now referred to as the "Asura System."

These changes caused the boy to immediately collapse, as it drained too much of his energy.

A female student approached the boy with a look of disgust "Isn't that Keith?" she said, groaning. Another female student, this one with blonde hair which reached her chin simply nodded "I'll get the nurse, he'll give me an answer sheet." she smiled mischievously. The other girl looked nervous, chasing after her "Wait for me!"
