Chapter 2 - Chapter Two: Re-Awakening..

Clark sat on the grassy slope at the heart of his domain, gazing at the status panel still floating before his eyes.

"D-Class... Dominion," he muttered.

His fingers curled into fists in the grass.

He wasn't blind. Others were already posting in the Regional Chat, bragging about their talents.

[ShiningSword]: A-rank talent, 'Heaven-Slaying Blade' — baby, I'm gonna carve up gods.

[ForestSaint]: S-Rank, 'Spirit Whisperer'. Nature bowed to me, literally.

[GreedyBastard]: Bro got E-Rank 'Smelly Toad.' Pray for him.

He sighed. "Figures. I finally get isekai'd and I still lose the RNG lottery."

But then suddenly...

[ERROR DETECTED — UNIQUE SOUL SIGNATURE]

[CORRECTIVE PROTOCOL: GRANTING EX-CLASS DIVINE TALENT]

Clark's breath caught in his throat as golden runes circled around him.

[WARNING: You will attract the gaze of Outer Systems and entities beyond the Divine Continent.]

Clark sat frozen, barely breathing. His mind spun—not in fear, but in awe.

"An EX-Class...?" He whispered.

Even the system had glitched to accommodate it.

His disappointment evaporated instantly. His eyes gleamed.

"So I can multiply loot..."

He hadn't even begun and was already holding a broken weapon. His entire playthrough was about to change.

"Status," he commanded.

The panel updated instantly.

Clark exhaled deeply as he studied the panel.

"So far, so good. Two talents... am the only one with two innate talents.....i guess the system glitched due to my transmigration and mistaking our two souls..."

He paused for a moment, then opened his Territory panel.

"Open Domain Status."

Clark rubbed his chin as he analyzed the display.

"Everyone starts with two kilometers… but Dominion will let me push this far beyond others."

His eyes narrowed as he spotted the dormant Mystic Veins.

"If I can awaken those veins... this entire valley could become a cultivation sanctuary."

Just as he was planning his next move, the sky trembled. Universal Will echoed across the continent once more.

scend. Only one may inherit the true Divine Throne.

Let the Age of Divinity begin.

The voice faded, but the air itself felt heavier.

Clark stood silently, eyes focused.

"Rank 25… Only one may sit on the throne..."

He clenched his fists and whispered, "I'll climb every step... and take that throne."

Then, before he could move, another chime echoed:

[BEGINNER TREASURE C[UNIVERSAL ANNOUNCEMENT]

[BEGINNER CHEST GRANTED]

The golden cube hovered before him, humming softly as the runes danced across its smooth surface.

Clark exhaled, steadying his excitement.

"Let's see what the starting package looks like."

He placed his hand against the chest. Instantly, the system responded.

[BEGINNER TREASURE CHEST – CONTENTS REVEALED]

[Random Territory Recruit – Banished Crusader (D-Class Hero)] x1

[God's Residence – Tier 0 Palace] x1

[Divine Crystals] x1000

[Wood] x1000

[Stone] x1000

Clark studied the list carefully.

"So this is the universal starter pack."

He paused for a moment.

"Everyone starts with 100 Divinity at system initialization — that's standard. The chest doesn't give any more. But this…"

His eyes fell on the random recruit: Banished Crusader — a D-Class hero.

"A mediocre starting hero for most people."

But Clark was not most people.

Without any manual activation, the air around him pulsed. The Divine Multiplier automatically responded to the chest's contents.

[Divine Multiplier Activated – 1000x Applied]

[Recruitment Order Upgraded: SSS-Class – Fallen Angel: Seraphiel]

[God's Residence – Tier 0 Palace] x1 (unchanged – special structure)

[Divine Crystals: 1,000 → 1,000,000]

[Wood: 1,000 → 1,000,000]

[Stone: 1,000 → 1,000,000]

Reality shimmered. The golden chest dissolved into beams of light, and neat stacks of resources appeared around him, as if respectfully laid out by unseen hands.

Clark's breath caught as he stared at the numbers floating before him.

"A million wood… a million stone… a million divine crystals."

He shook his head in disbelief.

"Anyone else would still be scrambling for basic shelter right now."

But his attention locked on the shining parchment floating at chest height. The original D-Class recruit was gone—replaced by something far beyond it.

[Recruitment Order: SSS-Class – Fallen Angel]

Title: The Wingless Blade

Race: Fallen Celestial

Class: Divine Commander

Initial Loyalty: 90

Clark exhaled slowly, his heart pounding.

"SSS-Class... a Fallen Angel as my first."

He reached forward and gently took hold of the parchment.

"My advantage isn't just strong—it's overwhelming."
