The time before the era of the gods
7 ancient mysteries that the gods called "embodiment"
Each ancient mystery has its supreme existence that still exists till this age.
One of the ancient mysteries is the "deity of the unforeseen world," the embodiment of destiny. He's the deity of mortals and gods alike. You can change your fate, but your destiny remains till the end.
"Liberator of soulless souls," the embodiment of death, the guide to eternal nightmare, the cruelest of the 7 ancient mysteries.
"Mother of all," "the first existence," with many more, and the embodiment of "life," she's seen as the creator of the world and also its destroyer.
"God," the embodiment of "gatekeeper," was seen as the first god of the world, and it was later known that he wasn't a god but the keeper of the multiverse.
"Heaven" the embodiment of heaven, is often seen as a place or a plane for gods.
"The forgotten one" is the embodiment of "fateless," as his name suggests; he's fateless outside of the world's restriction.
"The one who made wrath/fear/pride ran away." He's the embodiment of emotion and the founder of the "seven deadly sins" and "seven heavenly virtues."
"Ruler of endless era," the embodiment of "rebirth," countless eras, countless lifetimes, yet he alone stood in every lifetime, every era, as the ruler, the purest of the 7 ancient mysteries, and the most mysterious.
…
Billions of years pass since the tale of the seven ancient mysteries was known until their existence was almost nonexistent to the world.
And famous gods who became the face of the future era
The winner of "Ragnarok"
The top 5 major forces who won Ragnarok
"Olympus"
"The four archangels"
"Heavenly court"
"The Trimurti"
"Norse pantheon"
…
Billions of years pass, and countless times the world is reborn, and gods become a myth.
The new era is ruled by the new race, the world created with people who transcend their limits.
"Awakens" the people who awakened the power to infinitely grow stronger.
"Martial masters" are the people who practice martial arts that gave them supreme power to contend even against gods.
"Cultivators" are people who learned a technique of a god that makes them stronger and become immortal. Countless eras passed, and one technique became billions.
"Constellation": those whose life is full of countless stories, and those stories became their strength.
"SYSTEM USER" people that are rarely seen in the multiverse—a system supervising countless different people—were born after the world sensed the seven ancient mysteries disappeared.
…
In a shabby convenience-like store was seen in a forest that people rarely walked into.
Inside the store a handsome yet gloomy-looking man was seen behind the counters watching the door in case someone would really come in.
The guy in question was named Noah; he was originally just a normal student who worked a part-time job to buy a phone… yes, a phone…
But just as he saved enough money to buy his reward for his hard work, he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in this world. At first he couldn't even breathe in this world, as the air here was strangely stronger because of qi.
As his body gradually adapted, his body evolved little by little until he could finally breathe normally in this world.
Earlier he was shocked because a screen appeared in front of him.
Name: Noah
Age: 19
Affiliation: Owner of "Godly random stuff shop"
Points: 0
Stats: closed
More system information: closed (no sales)
1st mission: sell something from the "godly random stuff shop."
Sitting at the counter, Noah couldn't help but sigh.
As he's stuck here
Go out?
He tried it earlier, and he can't get past the door, as some barrier was there.
In moments of desperation, he tried to stab himself from threatening the system but learned from the system that his body was invincible inside the store every time he tried to hurt himself.
So after countless bickers with the system, he gave up and waited at the counter for a customer to scam.
System: Host, as the owner of the shop, you can't possibly scam people, right?
Host rule number 1: Scamming
Penalty: random loss of body parts
After seeing this, Noah sighed helplessly.
The system was too evil. Noah thought that as he probably can't win against the system.
Hence, we bring here why he's gloomy.
Looking around the shop, Noah found the store clean yet random.
Why?
Because the stuff the shop sells is random—in one row there's a random line of clothes, books, food, and even books and drinks.
It's really random, but clean. Looking up at the clothes and other things, he noticed that all of them look good.
And so he went and grabbed some clothes that fitted him and changed from his old earthly clothes.
Noah now stood up with a beautiful white robe, with his long black hair tied behind his back and a handsome face with a 5'9 height, which is already tall for him.
Looking at himself
"Hmm… my looks did improve." They didn't just improve; they soured. With these looks back on earth, he could be branded as a god.
But strangely enough, he wasn't that happy.
After staying here for about some hours, he finds it normal. I mean, there was literally a Ferrari in a small box back here. The system said if he pressed the button, the box would turn into the Ferrari.
So with that experience, his mindset got wider, if he says so himself.
But inside he was exploding with excitement.
It's not every day his looks could improve, but he couldn't show it to the system, right?
What if it didn't fit his bossy persona as the system showed?
Host rule number 2: be professional; don't show your emotion too much.
Penalty: random curse (blindness, gender swap, loss of prized position…)
…
Noah was sitting at the counter waiting for just one customer to come in, but he wouldn't see it as the shop doesn't have windows, so he's just waiting for the door to open.
"Bring bring…"
Hearing the bell sound, Noah looked up, and yes, he saw a living being at the door.
'Finally,' he shouted at his heart.
