Chapter 1 - the blue light and rising of new era

**Title: The System Awakening**

This story begins when a boy named Yash had just passed his 12th grade and was going to college for the very first time. Everything felt normal—until suddenly, far in the sky, a mysterious blue light appeared. Within seconds, it exploded with a loud blast and spread across all directions.

Some people who came into contact with that light began to glow, and they gained a strange power called a *System*.

Before Yash could understand what had happened, the light disappeared, and everything seemed normal again.

But far away, something unusual occurred—a portal to another world opened. From it emerged a messenger named Drake, who came seeking help. The military quickly surrounded the area. When questioned by the General, Drake revealed a shocking truth:

Their world had been conquered by a demon king named **Malphas**.

He explained that Malphas was slowly planning to invade Earth as well. Their warriors had failed to defeat him, so their sacred artifact, the *Divine Gem*, opened a portal to this world. It had chosen certain people and granted them powers—these were the ones who could save both worlds.

Drake also revealed that those who had received the *System* would gain additional abilities, and after one week, they would be transported to his world to fight.

This announcement was broadcast worldwide.

Yash was an ordinary boy, and this news shook him deeply.

Soon, military forces across the world began gathering all individuals who had gained powers.

Yash had two friends—Raghav and Jay—who had also received abilities:

* **Raghav** could become invincible for two minutes.

* **Jay** could teleport within a certain range.

* And Yash… had a rare power—he could create clones, control them, and even transfer his soul into them, effectively switching bodies.

They were taken to a military base where the General and Drake explained everything. Each chosen person was given a special bracelet that would monitor whether they were alive or dead in the other world.

After one week, the time finally came.

Everyone was tense.

Suddenly, 50 chosen individuals vanished… transported to the other world.

But something strange began happening.

One by one… they started dying.

It seemed like a conspiracy.

Yash grew suspicious. He requested to speak with the General. Together, they created a plan.

Instead of going directly, Yash would send three clones wearing the bracelets. Meanwhile, he and his friends would secretly observe and communicate using a hidden device.

When the clones entered the other world, they were immediately killed by strange creatures. The creatures spoke:

> "Our master's plan is working perfectly. No one can stand against him."

Yash realized the truth—Drake had betrayed them.

He quickly informed the General.

Back on Earth, the General set a trap for Drake. He invited him into a room filled with explosives. The moment Drake entered, the room was sealed and detonated.

But Drake survived.

The General picked up a rocket launcher and fired at him. This time, Drake was fatally wounded.

With his final breath, he said:

> "You may have learned the truth… but your chosen ones are already dead. Nothing can stop our master. Your world will soon belong to us."

And with that, he turned to ash.

Meanwhile, Yash and his friends were attacked by wolf-like monsters in the new world. During the fight, Yash was badly injured.

Raghav told Jay to teleport them to safety. Jay moved them to the top of a mountain.

As they began treating Yash's wounds, he stopped them.

"I'll just switch bodies," he said calmly.

He created a clone and transferred his soul into it. His old body became lifeless, while the new one stood up as if nothing had happened.

Raghav and Jay were shocked—they had no idea Yash could do this.

The three of them continued their journey through the forest, facing wild creatures along the way. Eventually, they reached a river and decided to rest for the night.

Food was scarce.

Yash, being vegetarian, survived on fruits, while the others caught fish.

After resting, they resumed their journey in search of civilization.

Finally, they emerged from the forest and saw a massive gate with towering walls in the distance—a city.

At the gate, a guard stopped them and asked who they were.

To hide their identity, they lied:

"We're from a nearby village. Bandits robbed us on the way."

The guard felt sympathy but remained cautious. He brought out a spherical object and asked them to touch it.

"If you are evil, it will glow red. If you are pure, it will glow blue."

One by one, they touched it.

It glowed blue.

The gate opened.

The guard allowed them inside and instructed them to create new id
