In a realm far away from the reach of a normal mortal. Where the perception of time and space do not exist, and where only the mightiest of beings can come. Two individuals looked at each other, one standing, and the other laying on the ground dying.
One is a seemingly young man standing tall at about 187 centimeters, bearing an extremely handsome and manly body features with well-built muscles, he had a head full of dark silver hair and silver eyes that appeared as if they made of electricity. He was wearing rough clothes and in his hand, there was a glowing sword that looked like it was both ethereal and not. Although his body was covered in numerous wounds that each seemed like they would be a normal man just from the pain and shock, on his face was nothing other than tiredness and relief like a man who just finished a very burdensome job.
While the other individual was a strange being who seemed like a hybridization of a dragon and the devil. He had a huge and imposing body at over 8 feet, with black scales instead of skin, there were three sharp horns standing high on top of his head and a pair of gigantic bat-like wings who constantly burned in gray fire. He had a face who resembled a flat-faced reptile more than a humanoid being, with completely black eyes except for yellows slits as irises. Similar to man his body too, had fatal wounds all over his body, only that he was clearly seemed to about to give in to his. In fact, his body already started to crack and crumble to dust.
"So." the strange being opened his mouth "you finally managed to defeat me, the all-powerful and ancient the Otherworldly Devil King Dramiel. Do you have anything you want to ask me? Now that you have saved this dimension and its inhabitants." he said while looking deeply at the young man.
"What a long a*s way to call yourself," The young man then sighed and replied, "can you stop acting like a "last boss" already? This was nice and all at the beginning but now it is way past just "getting on my nerves". Furthermore who the hell call himself all-powerful when he lay dying in front of the guy who killed him? Did living too long in this wicked realm rotted your brain?."
"Hur, hur, hurrr…" the Devil King Dramiel then let out a sound that makes one not sure whether he is laughing or coughing. "I can say a very similar thing about your attitude Nexus, to think that a mortal who lived for as long as you can still keep acting like that."
"Hmph! That's not the business of a dying lizard like you" Nexus snorted.
Dramiel mouth then twitched a little as if he is trying to smile, "since you don't have anything to ask me then let me ask you something. What are you going to do now that you have me defeated and can finally go back to your homeworld? Be a king or an overlord, maybe finally accepting godhood?"
As if hearing something good Nex smiled and said:
"play games and laze around all day like a fucking pig."
"...huh?"
Nex then continues "you know how annoying this backward dimension!? People here have the almighty magic power for them use, but they can't use it efficiently enough for daily use except for some royals and nobles who use it most of the time for things like slave collars. Every second person here is a battle junkie muscle-head idiot and every third is a psychopath wannabe magician. Most People here will stab their friends and family in the back if they think it will give them power or knowledge, and they won't feel much regret when they don't succeed. Every few years there is a new religion coming up saying they will help mankind reach new heights, only for it to be found out as a devious cult who called everyone who doesn't agree with them a heretic and burn them alive. And don't make me begin about the few entertainments around here, except a wooden sword the kids around here won't play with anything else, and the nobles? Their idea of enjoyment is to see commoners kill each other for food or just enslaving and torturing them. And don't think that I didn't try to change that but even after working my a*s off for decades finally changing their twisted way of life, they just go back to it the moment I am gone for a few years. So that it! Now that I at last finished off you, the main a**hole who kept sending his minions to corrupt even more this damn society, I will go back to my home world and do nothing besides living quietly where no one knows me, and where there is an actually normal and humane civilization."
"It seems that you have been through a lot." Dramiel said awkwardly, "But do you really want to forsake all that you know here for something so mundane? Everyone knows about your relationship with-"
"she will understand" Nex cut him off while his eyes dimmed a little "I already told her back from the start that that's what I am going to do"
"Hur hur, hur" Dramiel chuckled", Never thought that someone like you can be so cliche about that kind of thing"
"Zip it lizard!" Nex pointed his sword at him "What do you even know? Your whole existence is one big cliche, from your appearance to that f**king name, not to mention how you strategize, you know that you could have given me some hard time in the beginning just by sending one of your stronger muppets, but nooo! You had to send ones who are always weaker than me without end. Do you know how annoying it is to pee without suspecting anything and then suddenly having some lowly goblin trying to stab you in the n*ts?!"
"..." Dramiel sweated "we both aware that that's was my strongest ogre and not some goblin right?"
"Who cares!" Nex dismissed him "an annoying dog is still a dog, it doesn't matter if it is a chihuahua or a pitbull"
"Haa…" the dying Devil King sighed "as usual you are impossible to deal with. I remember hearing stories from what of my spies of time you acted like what you later called "A chunni", there was one that makes me laugh about you when you tried to hit on an old dwarf thinking its a-"*kick*
"Sheesh, look how much time take for you to die, here, let me help you."
Nex then starts to kick Dramiel like he's extinguishing a fire while clearly avoiding what he has to say.
"Haha!, you got shy huh?"
"Shut it, Dino!"*kick*
"Can't you let me speak like a person?"
"Sorry I don't consider a reptile as a person"*kick*
"You bastard! At least let me say some last word"
"What? I can't hear you with you turning to dust like that"*kick*
"Damn you!..." And just like that, the Otherworldy Devil King Dramiel has died, and his terror will no longer be present in the world.
Looking at the scattered parts of what was once a fearful ruler, Nex sighed and said: "it was a good fight, Dramiel". Then, he put his sword back to where he keeps it and began to stretch as if he just had a good work out, and suddenly all his wound disappeared as if they never existed in the first place "it's a pain fighting while pretending you actually got hurt, who knew he was so weak? I guess I trained too much," and while saying several more things that will most likely make the Devil King cry, Nex looked into a certain direction and smiled.
"I guess it is time to go home"
And with those words, Nexus the Transcended has left the Perias dimension and returned back to his homeworld, Earth.

The year 2172, GA(Global Alliance), New World Zone, in a small alley inside New Horizon city. A handsome young man who seemed around his mid-twenties, with dark silver hair and bright silver eyes wearing strange clothes that seemed like they don't exactly belong to the era.
His body was glowing while he moved weirdly as if he isn't accustomed to some parts in his body.
That man was Nex.
"Damn" he cursed "I didn't expect that unsealing my emotions back can be so uncomfortable… Oh well, it probably won't disturb me much haha" he mindlessly laughed it off.
Looking around at where he is for a few minutes, and finally, understanding that he is at last back on earth. He began to gleefully roll around on the ground while kissing it and shouting: "finally I'm out of that godforsaken place!"
A very long time ago, Nex was summoned to a fantasy world named Perias. In the beginning, he was happy since as an orphan whose parents died early, he didn't want to stay in a place where he has nothing and no one except video games and movie. But, soon enough that dream became a nightmare, this so-called "happy fantasy" world was nothing more than a hellish place with full of malicious creatures and people. For quite a while he had to fight day after day against countless enemies, and no matter how much stronger and experienced he became, there was always someone with enough strength to ruin the quiet life he was trying to build and hurt the few good people he met.
And finally, after countless years of suffering, where he long had most of his emotions sealed in order to not go crazy and had grown stronger than any mortal dared to reach as failed try's to find some peace and quiet, he found a way to undo his curse and return home to Earth. By defeating the enemy of countless worlds and the one who would be his biggest nemesis, the Otherworldly Devil King Dramiel. The Devil King was strong, stronger than he ever imagined, and so he decided to train, and train, and train. Until he thought he was strong enough. And luckily he was right(By a bit too much) and he managed to finally defeat Dramiel and at last return to the good old Earth where there is no monsters or another fantasy-type element.
Or so he thought...
Suddenly during his happy celebration, Nex stop and sense something, something he was so familiar with that since a long time it can be considered a part of him. He ran to the street and there he saw something that fortified the fact he wanted to desperately deny. Walking normally on the street where seemingly regular people, although some walked with weapons and gear that seemed like they come out of fantasy, but didn't matter to him as what gave him despair was something else. It was the undeniable certain energy that was coming off everyone's body.
"Nooooo!"
That's right, earth, Nex long lost home has gotten himself magic power while he was gone.
"Hey, you! Come with me to the station!"
♦♦♦
The investigator in the police station didn't know what to do, half an hour ago arrived a man wearing clothes that didn't seem from this millennium, who was arrested for public disturbance which usually stands for a night in the cell, but because of the unusual attire and bizarre action's and the fact that this is the border area, it was decided to not take any chances and keep him for investigation.
Normally, in these situations, the investigated person only needs to show some identifications and answer some question in order to be released. But this person isn't showing signs of wanting to cooperate and just keep muttering things the investigator didn't understand under his breath.
"God damn it, I should have expected that from the beginning, now what should I do"(Nex)
"Excuse me? all you need is just show your ID and you can go back home"(investigator)
"Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!"
Having veins starting to pop up on his forehead, the investigator tried to keep calm without exploding with anger.
"And now I stuck in this place with this weirdo"(Nex)
"HEY A**HOLE!"
Well, he tried.
"Huh? Me?"
Nex pointed on himself surprised(?).
While holding himself, back the investigator asked him again: "can you please take out your identifications?"
"ID?" Nex blinked and then smiled refreshingly.
The investigator who saw hope in that smile waited for him to continue.
"Of course I don't have any!"
"Why you little!"
Here's a fun fact about getting back your emotions after a long time like Nex.
"Ahh! Not the face!"(Nex)
It makes you(sometimes) a moron.
♦♦♦
"So," the police station chief said while he looked at Nex "you don't have an ID nor an address, and you aren't even registered in the GA database. Do you even understand how suspicious does that sound?"
"I suppose so?"(Nex)
"Then what do you have to say for your defense?" the police chief asked.
'Damn! Who knew that unsealing emotions will give this kind of results? Anyway, let's give this guy something convincing.' As a person who experienced countless things, Nex managed to quickly recover from his previous "slip-up" and immediately came up with an answer.
"My name is Nexus, but you could call me Nex," he said with an assertive smile and then continued: "I lived on a distant island with my master until lately there I learned how to fight and growing stronger through something he called cultivation."
The police chief that although he hadn't sensed anything that indicates a lie from Nex body language and confidence, he couldn't help but furrow his brows and ask "Even though you said that you lived in the distant island, how do you expect that I will believe that you never did something so obvious like getting yourself an ID?.
After Nex heard that his face darkened and he replied while gritting his teeth, "Its all because of that old bastard! That delusional old man thought that we are some kind of "Earth last protectors" and that our existence is some kind of grand secret. And because of that, he didn't allow any kind of connection with the outer world and even proof that we exist like having a registered ID! Stuck on that island I had nothing to do besides training and watch an old tv show's from god's know where from! Do you know what it feels like to be stuck on a remote island since you a kid by a crazy bastard and his loon friends!?"
At this point, Nex face was streamed with tears while his eyes become bloodshot, and due to the crazed look in them, the police chief didn't dare to stop him.
"Do you know what was the worst? It wasn't unknowing of the outside world, nor was it the lack of thing to do there." Nex then took a deep breath as if to calm his raging(?) emotions and then he continued with a voice filled with anguish. "The worst thing was that except the old friends of that old son of a bi*ch, there were no females there. For the best years of my youth, I met no ladies anywhere close to my age. Tell me is this what would you call this aside from living hell!?"
Although feeling his eyes getting wet as well, the police chief still tried to keep his cool and asked: "how did you succeed to get away from there?"
Hearing the question Nex eyes brightened and he said.
"I ran away"
"Ran away?" the chief became confused "Didn't you said you were stuck on a distant island?"
"That right it was a secluded island" Nex nodded "But I have a special power of teleporting, I can teleport to a distance of a few kilometers several times in a row. The problem was that normally that there was always the old man and his friends to watch over me so that I won't escape, but to my luck they one day disappeared and after realizing that they may not come back soon I teleported like crazy till I arrived here to this city." he finished his 'story' and then added lastly." The reason for my earlier public disturbance was because I found out about the time gap between now and the time the show's I watched was quite large and their next season's air time are long since finished."
After hearing the whole story, the emotional chief still had one more point he wanted to make clear. "Although I trust your story, there is still one more thing I want to make sure even though it can be implied by what you said, are you a Hunter?" he asked with a serious face.
Nex, as if waiting for that moment confirmed, "is that what cultivators called? Anyway yes, I am, but I don't know how the levels here are divided, so I don't think I can answer you what my rank by what is normally judged." he said while scratching the back of his head.
"That's not a problem, as later after we will get you truth test about what you said and register you as a citizen, we will have someone explain you some basic world knowledge and then we will have you go to register as a hunter and have your ability tested at the hunter association."
"Thank you for trusting me"
Nex smiled happily and thanked the police chief while secretly thinking 'good thing it worked'.
***
After passing a truth-testing machine that which to Nex convenience used magic power to test changes in the magic power and through that indicate whether someone lying or not, a thing that to someone with an experience like Nex it wasn't a problem to change the results, he registered himself into the database and got himself an ID.
Next was the part he waited for the most, learning about the world and what happened in the last 100 and something years.
***
Hundred and fifty years ago, happen an event called "The Great Awakening", what happened in that event was that earth started to produce a new type of energy known as "Magic Power" and caused two great changes. The first one was the emergence of a new type of beings that can be divided into two major faction's Light and Dark.
The Light faction is made-up of Spirits which are living elements and nature force of Earth, and the magic beast's which are an evolved version of earth's animals. This group are friendly or natural toward humanity and are mostly lives together with them in society.
The Dark faction, on the other hand, was composed of demonic beings and devils, both of which are vile creatures that feed on destruction and death, they supposedly arrive from another dimension and use a type of energy called "Demonic Power" which they use to turn other beings into what called a Corrupted and another member of the Dark faction. Their hostility to humans and ones from the Light faction are great and will always try to kill them.
On the moment the Dark faction appeared, the world fell into chaos. They attacked mercilessly and destroyed whatever the saw, normal weapons were useless against them and the help that the Light faction who was just born could give was minimal. Numerous countries were destroyed and more have lost most of their population. At that moment that is seemed that no hope has left they emerged.
The Hunters.
A short time after Magic Power was introduced to the world, cultivation who was once considered something from novels has become reality. To most people it only made them live longer with a more healthy body, but to those who could break past this level will turn into a superhuman being who can directly fight the members of the Dark faction.
So along with the new force named as Hunters, the remaining people of the world united into one large alliance called Global Alliance(GA), which created the Hunter Association whose job was to fight and restrain those from the Dark faction and the Hunters who have misused their power. These newly created power managed to repel the Dark faction and had it fall back into the territory that they emerged from.
And so, after much loss, the war for survival has ended and the world has entered a time of peace. That, of course, expect minor attacks from the Dark faction. The hunters that didn't work directly for the alliance began creating their own organizations and attack group's that are hunting the Dark faction for their high-quality materials that can be gotten from their remains. The world has begun to advance forward and together with the changes to the world, technology has advanced into an unthinkable direction thanks to Magic Power and helps from the Light faction, stuff like the (almost)absolute truth machine that Nex went through before and new kinds of energy and health developments began to pop-up rapidly everywhere making the life quality reach a whole new level.
"And now, in the year 2172, the world has reached can be said to belong to a whole new age then what it was more than 100 years before." concluded the teacher from the police, a kind old man. Who smiled after his explanation and then asked Nex "do you have any question now? Because after this you are on your own in the outside world."
Nex nodded and said "yes I have one question, do you have now a VRMMO's games." he asked with zealous eyes.
The old man was surprised and then smiled amiably.
"Hoho, yes we have them. I personally played one and if may say they quite immersive."
Delighted, Nex almost danced from joy and further asked the old man. "Which one do you recommend me to play?"
The old man deepened smiled and he replied without a doubt: "I recommend without a doubt the new game that is soon coming out, I heard that its immersive ability is on the level of a real world."
Nex eyes widened and he asked earnestly "what's its name?"
Knowing that this question will come, the old man, while trying not to laugh from how serious Nex seems just now, answered:
"The game name is The Mythical Age."
