Chapter 1: Gaia

Author's note: I just want to inform my readers that this is my very first book and most of my ideas were just inspired by other books. I wanted to write my own op mc but there will be a lot of unavoidable mistakes and I would want to apologize in advance if you ever encounter them.

White...

Nothing but white...

The whole background was white. That's what Quinn could see right now. He tried walking forward but couldn't see anything new apart from the white background. He was shocked when he was suddenly transported to this space but now he was also starting to despair thinking he'll be trapped here for some time.

Suddenly, an emotionless and robotic feminine voice rang out in his ears...

[Greetings Quinn Tully, I am Planet Gaia's consciousness. I have chosen exactly 1 billion Earthlings including you to be transported to Planet Gaia.]

[I have been gathering data from your world and from you Earthlings' words, Planet Gaia will be a 'swords and magic' world. To also help you adapt to the world and gain strength much faster, I've also slightly changed the world's laws to make it resemble that of a game world. In there, you will be like a game character. Able to level up, learn skills and infinitely gain strength.]

Quinn was stunned speechless by the voice and the overwhelming information that came with it. Fortunately, he was an Otaku throughout his whole life and read about situations like this in hundreds of webnovels so he was able to process it after a few seconds.

After a few moments of contemplating, he then asked the voice, "Hey can I ask you something? By the way, I'll just call you Gaia."

[As you wish]

"Why do you want to suddenly summon a billion of us to your world?"

[My consciousness was born together with the birth of all living beings in the planet. The living beings were divided into Savage Beasts, beings without intelligence that only knows how to kill and devour the flesh of other beings. The others are the Intelligent Beings includes all living beings who have the slightest intelligence to make the simplest decisions.]

[The Savage Beasts have a very rapid rate of reproduction while also having a very rapid rate of strength increasing because of their endless fighting and devouring. The Intelligent Beings were nearly wiped out and all that's left is less than even Earth's population, despite being a hundred times bigger.]

A hundred times bigger than Earth?!? Quinn's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard that. 'Wait... no, that's not what's important right now'

"Can't you just help since your the planet's consciousness? Are you supposed to be omnipotent in that world?"

[I can see everything occuring in the planet but I can't directly interfere because of the laws. I can only give them some slight assistances but that didn't stop the Savage Beasts' rampage. After watching for thousands of years, seeing the population dwindling at a fast pace, I suddenly sense the creation of a new planet in a near parallel universe.]

[There, I saw the first life being born to the dinosaurs' extinction to the emergence of humans. Your planet was completely devoid of mana but the humans managed to survive by using the endless creativity and intelligence. This is something that a planet consciousness like me can't possess. I watched as the humans became the top of the food chain and slowly developed their culture.]

[After watching for countless of years, I finally decided to ask for help and bring this creativity and intelligence into the planet. As compensation and also for your protection, each person will obtain a talent that they will be able use to survive in the other world.]

'So that's how it is!'

Quinn's eyes suddenly widened out of excitement at the thought of transmigrating to another world and obtaining superpowers. He didn't even feel the slightest bit of sadness for the life he left on Earth.

'Eh, life was pretty boring there anyways.'

Quinn accepted his current situation pretty quickly and was even anticipating his arrival at the other world.

After a while of waiting, the voice spoke again...

[Please prepare for world transfer...]

As soon as the timer hit zero, Quinn's vision suddenly turned black and he fell unconscious.
