The tires screeched—a sound that tore through the quiet evening air like a jagged blade. I didn't even have time to look up from my phone. I had been scouring every obscure forum, desperate for the latest High School DxD release. My thumb was hovering over a "Buy Now" button when the world exploded into a blinding white glare of high beams.
CRACK
There was a sickening thud, a moment of weightless suspension, and then... nothing. No pain. Just a sudden transition from the cold asphalt to an endless, silent void.
"You really should watch the road, Izuki Ren," a voice crackled, sounding like a corrupted audio file.
I blinked, looking up to see a shimmering, glitchy figure—a R.O.B. (Random Omnipotent Being). I didn't scream. I just looked at my empty hands and sighed. "If I'm dead, at least tell me I managed to order that volume first."
The figure let out a metallic laugh. "Priorities. I like that. Since your death was an 'administrative error,' I'll give you a second chance. Three wishes. Anything you want."
I didn't hesitate. "First, I want to be reborn into the world of High School DxD before the Great War. Second, a Multiverse Chat Group System with a Shop where I or any member can buy anything. Third, anything I receive must be multiplied randomly from 100x to Infinity."
The void shuddered. "Fine. Show me what happens when a 'Zero' is given the sting of a supernova in an age of Gods."
[The Underworld - Pre-Great War Era]
I blinked, and the air changed. It was heavy, saturated with a raw mana that modern Kuoh couldn't dream of. I was standing in a dark, jagged valley where the sky was a permanent, bruised purple.
In my pocket, I felt the weight of a smartphone forged from a material that didn't exist on Earth. I tapped the gold icon: The Hub.
[System: Welcome, Admin Izuki Ren!][System Login Reward: 100 System Coins.][Passive Trigger: Infinite Singularity! Multiplier: INFINITY!][Total Balance: ∞ System Coins.]
I stared at the screen. Infinite money. The Multiverse Shop was now my personal playground.
['The_Honored_One' has joined the chat.]
['Uchiha_Avenger' has joined the chat.]
[System: New Member Rewards Distributed!]
[The_Honored_One has received 90 System Coins.]
[Uchiha_Avenger has received 85 System Coins.]
[The_Honored_One]: "Oh? A new Cursed Technique? And 90 coins? Is this for a vending machine? I could use some."
[Uchiha_Avenger]: "Where am I? Is this a Genjutsu? 85 coins... if this can buy the power to kill him, I'll play along."
I ignored them and opened the System Shop. My eyes scrolled past legendary swords and dragon souls until they landed on the most fundamental building block of this world.
[Item: Eternal Mana Source (Rank: Divine)]
[Price: 50,000,000 Coins]
I clicked 'Buy.'
[System: Purchase Successful!]
[Passive Trigger: Multiplier INFINITY Applied!]
[Result: Source of the Primordial Void (Infinite Mana) Acquired!]
BOOM.
The valley didn't just shake; the space-time fabric of the Underworld groaned under the sudden weight of a power that shouldn't exist. My human circuits were obliterated. In their place, a bottomless abyss of dark, starlit energy ignited within my soul.
It wasn't just "a lot" of mana. It was the Primordial Void. I could feel every atom in the Underworld, every heartbeat of a Devil, and every breath of a Fallen Angel.
I could see the Original Satans in their distant palaces—Lucifer, Leviathan, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus. Their combined presence felt like a tiny puddle compared to the infinite ocean now coursing through my veins.
Ren swiped through the System Shop as the air around him began to crackle and warp.His human vessel was beginning to groan under the sheer pressure of the Infinite Mana he had just unleashed. Threads of silver light began to leak from his skin, threatening to atomize the very ground he stood on.
"I need a container," Ren muttered, his voice echoing with a dual-tone frequency that wasn't human. "Something that doesn't just hold the power, but becomes it."
His finger hovered over a forbidden tab in the shop.
[Item: Eternal Chaos Physique (Rank: Primordial)][Price: 500,000,000 Coins][Description: A body forged from the primordial soup of the multiverse. Capable of housing infinite energy, concepts, and laws without end.]
He clicked 'Buy' without a second' of hesitation.
[System: Purchase Successful!][Passive Trigger: Multiplier INFINITY Applied!][Result: True Void-God Body (Conceptual Immortality) Acquired!]
TH-THOOM.
The sound wasn't a physical explosion; it was the sound of a new law being written into the universe. Ren's physical form dissolved into a swirling mass of dark stars and silver nebula before snapping back into a human shape.
He looked exactly the same, but his skin now felt as dense as a neutron star and as light as a shadow. Every cell was now a miniature universe, perfectly harmonizing with the infinite mana coursing through him. He was no longer just a 'living being'—he was a Living Reality.
[The_Honored_One]: "Ren? Hello? The chat just turned pitch black for a second. I can't even see my own messages. What the hell did you just buy?"
[Uchiha_Avenger]: "The pressure... I can feel it through the screen. My Sharingan is bleeding just looking at your status icon. Admin... are you even human anymore?"
[Izuki Ren (Admin)]: "Humanity was a limitation I couldn't afford. Satoru, Sasuke... I just became the foundation this world stands on."
Ren looked toward the horizon. He didn't need to teleport; he simply willed the space in front of him to cease existing.
In the Lucifer Palace, the Original Lucifer had just summoned his spear, his 12 wings unfurled in a desperate display of power. Beside him, Leviathan and Beelzebub were shaking, their demonic auras flickering like dying candles.
"Show yourself!" Lucifer roared, his voice cracking.
Ren stepped out of a rift in the middle of the throne room. He wasn't flying; he was simply standing on the air as if it were solid ground. His Void-God Eyes landed on Lucifer, and the Devil King's knees hit the obsidian floor instantly, forced down by a gravity that didn't exist a moment ago.
"You called?" Ren asked, his voice cold and terrifyingly calm.
