## Summary

Punk is the protagonist of the story. He's a lone seeker who's willing to use any means possible to achieve his goals.

*"On my way to glory, no one will be allowed to hinder my steps!"*

## Appearance

Punk is a handsome dwarf with thin skin, blue hair and heavenly eyes, often wearing a white robe

## Personality

Punk is a cautious, observant, intelligent, calculating, cold-blooded, and ruthless person. He has a neutral evil personality (even if he belongs to the chaotic neutral camp) and will go to any length for a benefit, regardless of the byproduct of his actions. Harming other beings does not affect his conscience whatsoever but he won't harm another being if there's no benefit involved (benefit in terms of research, practice, resources, opportunities, getting rid of inconveniences etc.). This is because he believes that "waste is a crime". However, he will decisively drop this if someone becomes enough of an inconvenience to his time or plans.

He's also secretive and lowkey (when possible). He tends to think before he speaks and acts while regularly strategizing ways to combat social power plays and attempts at manipulation after reading between the lines. Others' calculated favors are also destined to fail because Punk is not a person who is hell-bent on paying them back and he will just play along for benefits. Punk also doesn't mind playing polite and unaware on the surface and deflecting to get what he wants and prefers not to start an unnecessary and foolish conflict. However, if his hand is forced, he is always observing and ready to make a move to crush his opponents.

Punk has no scruples with using his allies as cannon fodder while infuriating his enemies with sneaky attacks and taunting them to move them mentally off balance and lead them to their finishing blow. He even does so while maintaining the same innocent and light-hearted demeanor outwardly. This is why Punks' enemies tend to call him insidious, cunning, and shameless.

When Punk's soul evolved in the void, loneliness was eliminated and fear was also mostly eliminated. However, he can still be inconvenienced, annoyed, or even slightly stressed in certain situations (but this comes more from expectations, cautiousness, and hope of success). Additionally, beauty, flattery, and romance have little to no effect on him besides as an acknowledgement of a circumstance involving it. He's more fascinated by the unknown and becoming more powerful, knowledgeable, and eternal. Instead, he will try to find ways to use this information against his opponents to further his own agenda.

Even if Punk has a slight appreciation towards another being, the furthest his compassion will go is a passing acknowledgement of their existence even after seeing their extremely tragic end. This absurd reaction creates almost a form of comic relief due to his nonchalant reaction to the situation which is uncharacteristic of most protagonists (compared to the expected cliché vengeful or sorrowful reaction).

At times, he tends to be quite philosophical due to his quest for knowledge. Since he values it so much, he regularly works to improve flaws in his thinking and is also disgusted by people who lack self-awareness.

Sometimes, Punk's risk-taking is compared to being someone from the chaotic camp but all of his risks are calculated before being decisively undertaken, even if they don't always pay off. These risks are what allow him to grow so quickly and steadily and are also learning lessons for future situations. Though Punk is sometimes referred to as greedy, it's more of a strong desire for growth which results in efforts and calculated risks to create opportunities to do so.

## Basics of this World

**Elements are divided into ten types:** Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Darkness, Life, Space, and Ether (could be converted into other types). Ether also could convert other elements into different elements, including elemental energy. The most important thing was that only the Ether could be directly transformed into all kinds of other non-elemental energy, such as- magnetic force, gravity, kinetic energy, and so on. This had established Ether Element as the "Primary Element" with unparalleled flexibility and applicability. You lose some energy converting from Ether to other elements though.

**Schools of Magic are:** Elemental (creating elements directly from the soul), Incantation (creates Ether from the soul and then use the Ethereal energy), Enchantment (giving attributes to an object), Alchemy (merging and separating objects or elements), Prophecy (using soul's perception to obtain information), Summoning (create creatures or other things in the soul, and materialize them in the Real World), Advent/dream (Using the concepts in the soul to erode the real World), Spirit (influencing the reality with the help of absolute will and soul).

These schools each had their own advantages and disadvantages. Regardless of school or Element, Warrior's battle Qi or Mage's magic, these were all primary applications of the soul, and all these different routes had the same destination, "Legend." And when someone reached this level, the soul could directly grasp the higher-level power of the law, then it didn't matter whether it was a different faction or profession.

**Professions:** Mage/Warlock/Vampire, Warrior/Berserker, Assassin/Thief, Ranger, Priest.

**This world is mainly divided into six factions:** Lawful good faction (the legendary holy maiden), Chaotic good faction (Heroic outlaw), Lawful neutral faction (Most regular people), Chaotic neutral faction (not good people but have a bottom line), Lawful evil faction (Organized evil forces), Chaotic evil faction (Psychopathic murderers).

**Laws:** After promoting to the legend level, one must choose laws to focus on learning which will increase one's powers and take up most of their time.

**Planes:** This refers to worlds which can be accessed by portals and that beings can move across. Some of these planes are highly dangerous, require certain conditions to access, and are only accessible to cultivators with a certain power level. Among these planes are the: Pheren Plane (where most events takes place), Endless Abyss, Shadow Realm, Paradise Mountain, Underworld, Chaotic Sea, and Astral/Star Realm.
