DogPerson

Jay Riemman , disappointed in the oppressive reality of the 22nd century is given a chance to destroy the society of the rich and powerful when Rifts begin to appear on Earth.

[This is my effort in creating a somewhat of a "villain" protagonist who is not supported by a super system designed for him nor an immense plot armor, but who survives by using logical thinking, relying on strong teammates, and using underhanded methods]  

[A lot of my inspiration comes from other novels that deal with the concept of portals to other worlds, but I am trying to make this work differentiate as much as possible by mixing various other concepts and some of my original ideas]

[Oh this is already too long but closing, I need to emphasize that this novel is something I do for fun and every possible feedback will be very helpful]

Break the World

The scenery changed drastically, the sky was scarlet, and the sun ... the two suns were more like small stars compared to the one I had lived under my entire life.


This was definitely not Earth, I wasn't sure whether I had traveled in space, time, or in an entirely different dimension, and so I began exploring my surroundings


At that moment, a strange energy began flowing through my veins, my mind felt lighter, all my previous exhaustion vanished and a message appeared before me.


[Challenger has come in contact with unregistered energy. Magi stat unlocked]


Mana or Ki one could refer to it, is a very popular term used in games in order to cast magic spells


Amazed with the possibility of using magic, I immediately shouted "FIREBALL !!"


Apparently chanting isn't related to my newly developed stat.


While I was confused as to what was my purpose here, I put priority in understanding the concept of magi.


I began experimenting with moving the energy through my body trying to redirect it to my fist, I realized shortly afterward that it was easier said than done.


The energy was leaking to the environment and thus only a small part stayed in my body


After a couple of minutes of continuous effort, I was exhausted, my mind felt dizzy and as I was about to lose consciousness I glimpsed at the message in front of me.


[The number of challengers has reached the amount required (3/3), instance event will be triggered]


Julius Armstrong was busy hunting a small group of goblins, using only his fists and the momentum of his gigantic muscular body to break the bones of his opponents each time he struck them


Being one of the world's strongest men was nothing of importance to Julius who had lost his desire to live after reaching the pinnacle of human strength ...


Upon entering the rift he was overwhelmed by the ecstasy of fighting his opponents to the death and the possibility of breaking the limits of the human body.


After the battle ended, he looked at the numerous messages in front of him


[Eliminate the goblins in the forest. Progress 4%]


"Hm it appears there are other people here", he pondered on whether he should engage in combat with them but quickly dismissed the thought ... since he doubted he would meet anyone strong enough to face him.


"Better start the slaughtering then...", he said to himself while brushing his huge beard covering the entirety of his neck followed by his extremely dense chest hair.


In the view of a distant observer, he had a closer resemblance to a brown bear than a human.


Friend or Foe?
