Prologue

I am a sinner. I was born when I should not have been. My mere existence made people feel uncomfortable. Everyone wished for my death. When I was weak, they hurt, used, betrayed me. Now that I am strong, they fear, avoid, and hate me. What was the right choice? What should I have done to be happy? Does happiness even exist? I just... wanted to be happy.

[Haah.... haaah....]

I'm laying back on the floor. My left eye is gone. My right arm is gone. My left arm is charred. My legs are mutilated. Spears and swords are impaling me to the ground. Poison and acid ran through my veins. My body was burning, yet freezing at the same time.

[Neo the Manipulator. Only a painful death befits an atrocious sinner like you. You, a mere human, have toppled the balance of the world. You have destroyed and massacred worlds left and right indiscriminately.]

Haah... haah... what is that old man saying?

The man who was speaking was Namgoong Cheonji. He was a tall man with a muscular build. He had a long gray beard and hair. He was battered and tattered. This old man is the peak of the Murim, a world dominated by martial arts. I beat him to near death though. He's missing an arm and bleeding severely.

[You should have never existed, you Monster. You made countless innocent people suffer brutal deaths. You aren't human. You're a human that has lost all reason and moral.]

Ah, this time, it's Lucy Frostail. It's the woman from one of those classic isekai worlds. I heard she's the greatest arch mage in that world. She's got long straight blue hair and eyes full of contempt. She's the one who's causing this burning freeze. Or freezing burn? I'm not sure. She has a few holes in her body and her eyes are both slashed.

[You manipulated the politics of countless worlds and had people kill their own kind. You've driven people to insanity and turned them into monsters that turn on their families and friends.]

Ah, who's this again? I don't remember this one. Let's just say he's some brawny muscle head. Emphasis on the muscle. He's 7 feet tall. I don't remember the world he's from either. Well, not 7 feet anymore. I shaved off some of that height when I cut his knees. He's just barely almost seven feet now.

[You threw away your only chance at redemption and stepped on the path of no return. Your sins are too great for even a million brutal deaths to pay for.]

This one's... ah. It's that one crazy tech woman. It's like she's from 50000 years in the future. Her technology is insane. I think her name was... Sara? She's got pink hair and she's pretty petite. Her technology is all broken right now though, and she's lost a lot of blood.

[Neo the Fallen. You have toyed with our world's and murdered our families. You violated their honor with your filthy ways.]

Ah, this guy. The guy seems so barbaric. He doesnt have a top on and he's got tattoos all over his body. Oh, he's the guy from the land of dragons, right? He has the blood of a dragon in his veins. What was his name...? Oh, yeah. Draco Grundsworth. His dragon buddy is dead and he's missing an few limbs.

[Even our merciful lord cannot forgive you for your transgressions, sinner.]

Ah, Anna Raisaline. The blonde nun. She's very powerful. She can summon a portion of an angel's power. I remember she used to be quite famous when she debuted for her generous chest. Even that's not pleasing to the eyes when it's covered in blood.

[.....]

The silent one is the death knight. I think he was called Ignis. Or something like that. He's from the land of the dead. Or you can call it world of the dead. He's extremely skilled in swordsmanship. He can slice through literally anything. He's fully clad in black armor though, so no one has seen what he really looks like. I almost exposed his face, but I failed. His armor has cracks everywhere, though.

[Not even a shadow of your existence should come back to this world. Since those annoying shadows of yours can do anything. Tch.]

This guy, Aster, perfectly fits the phrase, "Don't judge a book by its cover." He's so skinny but he has monstrous strength. He apparently draws power from the stars... he came from the land of constellations. I'd say he's the second strongest out of everyone here. He can draw a portion of a constellation's power. He's dressed like a power ranger. He's bruised everywhere and probably immobile right now.

[Too bad we can't kill you~ you're so damn tenacious that you won't die no matter what we do~]

This cheeky brat is a half demon. Not one of those devils that are just inferior copies, she has the blood of a True Demon. Her eyes are black and her hair is dark red. She's pretty short, though. Her name was... Kisara? She came from the farthest place. The demon realm. It exists in an entirely different dimension than that of all the others here. Oh, the land of the dead is also from another dimension. Anyways, that healing factor of demons is annoying. She's all healed from the wounds I gave her. Tch.

[Don't even think about coming back to this world, got that? You psychopath. No wonder they call you Neo the Apathetic.]

And lastly, that's Shion, a psychic. She can do just about anything- manipulate vectors, poltergeist, read minds, see through stuff... the world she comes from is pretty mundane though. Her green hair used to be long, until I cut it. And the rest of her body. She barely kept herself alive with her psychic powers.

[...]

I stay silent. I can feel their hatred piercing through me. I've killed many innocent people across multiple worlds and destroyed dozens of worlds. I even caused damage to the land of the dead and the demon realm, as well as heaven.

I wouldn't have done all this if you hypocrticial lifeforms haven't made me suffer so much. No matter what world I go to, what era I'm in... I'm always the bad guy. I didn't even do anything. If they're gonna treat me like a villain, I'll be one. And so I started destroying worlds and killing people... life means nothing to me. In fact, I would love to die... I was just made nearly immortal by the people who tortured me. 1000 powerful warriors from 1000 separate worlds have gathered to defeat me. It was a 1 versus 1000 war. I killed 990 of them, but I let my guard down and this happened. I've been defeated. Tch. If only I had predicted... ah, whatever. I don't even care anymore. They're going to seal me. Forever. I've always been alone, but I wonder how being sealed forever will feel? Being alone in an endless dark space with no other lifeform existing... I'm sure it will be hell. Again. But I've been defeated. The strong can do whatever they want with the weak. That's a natural law. I guess I have no choice.

The 10 who defeated me started gathering their power. Damn... I would try to escape if not for the musclehead's spear impaling me. It has the power to stop the movement of anything it touches. I don't have enough power to break its authority right now... I've been fighting this battle for over 30 years. Of the initial 1000, there were a bunch of supporters who would cast a buff that increased all stats by 10 times, and they would cast that on top of each other to make their allies thousands of times stronger than they actually are. And they get to tap out with each other and rest while I have to fight non-stop. I was also injected with poison that weakens me significantly and made me age 1 year a minute. It was really annoying. Just because I let my guard down at one crucial moment, these remaining 10 turned the tables on me. If I had survived a minute longer, the buffs casted on them would have dissipated. Ah, we're in space by the way. A place with no life other than us. This kind of a space is called a void. A place where you can fight to your heart's content without worry of destroying anything. It's like a pocket dimension. Anyways, the 10 finally finished gathering their powers.

What's with all those cringey phrases? Haaah.... I guess this is my end.

A flash of pure energy envelops my from the sphere of gathered energy. I can't see anything for a moment, and after a loud thud and the sound of a key locking a door, all I see is darkness. No light. No people. We'll, not like I wanted to see people anyways. I hate humans. But.... it's lonely here. Even lonelier than when people were all ostracized me deliberately. Even lonelier than when the entire world, no, the entire universe was against me. Not just this universe, but the universe in another dimension too. I'm.... really alone now.

.... I feel like crying. But I can't. My tear glands were permanently damaged so I can't cry anymore. I still have all these weapons impaling me and I still feel the burns and freezes. I'm just floating in the darkness... alone and suffering. I never wanted this in the first place. I wanted to be normal. I was born in Earth and my parents died the moment I was born. I had no family since my birth. I couldn't even be sent to an orphanage, because due to some sick joke, I was transported to another world. There, they drugged me as a child to increase my toleration against starving and sleep deprivation. To increase my tolerance, they gave me less and less food and time to sleep. They wanted to make a perfect human. One with no flaws, so that they can dethrone a god. Hah. How pathetic. How arrogant. Because of that, I was dragged into a dark life. They started impaling me regularly at age 5. They started poisoning me when I was 6. They burned me and freezed me when I was 7. They started making me feel the pain of every death possible, until I actually died. But they won't let me rest. They cloned my body and returned my soul into the body with my memories intact. With this, they were able to start using even more brutal methods. They killed me over and over and over and over.... no matter how much I begged... no matter how much I cried... now matter how much I screamed... they never stopped. No one saved me. They started hired people to rape me when I was 12. They started tampering with my brain to remove any unique characteristics of myself. I ran away when I was 15. I ran away as far as I can until someone finally took me in... or I thought. Any affection they showed me was a lie. It was all so they can make the betrayal hurt more. I was already known as a demon child for being so resistant to death. People ostracized me. I was an outcast. People told me I shouldn't have been born. People told me my life has no meaning. So what the hell was I supposed to do?! I don't even know how to die. Even gods, no, those evil creatures people call gods took me and lied to me that they would help me find happiness. But all they did was play with my mind, driving me insane. The cycle of suffering repeated with every new lifeform I met. They would use me, hurt me, betray me, and throw me away. They even made me kill people against my will to make me more tolerant against trauma and guilt. I never wanted to kill. You made me kill. All of you...! I... why did my life have to be like this...? I don't know what to do anymore... there is no hope in life. There is no good in life. There is no happiness in life. It's all a lie. Everyone is a liar. I'm going to kill you all..!

My face contorts with rage. Then, I relax my face. Haah... I need to get out of here first. If I'm to be trapped here forever, that means there are infinite possibilities. I'll slowly restore my strength and destroy the authority of the seal. Then.... I'm going to go back to the real world.
