Calamity Upon This World

~Swish~

A blue portal appeared out of thin air in a dark cave far away from the human continent.

A naked young man fell out of this portal as the portal behind him closed.

~bum~

"Oww, couldn't you have made the exit a bit more comfortable?" Sung complained to seemingly no one as he stood up and touched his body, still shocked at being alive.

"So I somehow managed to survive, huh?" he questioned himself, still in disbelief at everything that had happened.

A lot happened today, and his life probably won't be the same anymore.

First, he had been selected by a system and gained the opportunity to gain a divine aspect, which he failed to do.

Remembering that still left a bitter taste in his mouth.

He just lost the greatest opportunity in his life, all because of one talented prick who didn't want common folk like him climbing up the ladder.

Speaking of him, Sung still felt chills, remembering the display of overwhelming power that Edge Lord had shown.

Sung had almost given up on his life and had come extremely close to dying.

But still, somehow, he managed to live through it.

And now that he was alive, he had no intention of letting Edge Lord get away with what he had done.

Now, alongside his uncle and family, there was another name that he needed to get pay back on.

He had also betrayed his party, and while all the miners died, Edge Lord's party survived, and they would probably report him to the URF, meaning he was going to become a wanted criminal.

As betraying your party inside a dungeon is a serious offence, it would get him blacklisted from all dungeons, and he would probably be arrested on sight.

"How annoying," Sung grumbled, realising how shitty his situation was.

"I wish I was able to kill all of them; that would've been better."

Such a statement was extremely out of character for Sung, as before today he hadn't even killed a fly, and yet today he was casually talking about killing humans without even a change of expression.

This was obviously because of the god who was helping him, but Sung sadly didn't know of it yet.

'I feel thirsty,' Sung thought, realising he hadn't drank any water today and decided to venture into the cave he was in a bit further in hopes of finding something to drink.

And after a while, he found a small puddle of water to drink.

This probably wasn't the cleanest water, but Sung was long past the point of caring about hygiene.

However, just when he was about to drink the water, he saw something shocking.

He saw a reflection of himself.

"Who the fuck?" Sung exclaimed as he dramatically stepped back, thinking there was another person in the cave, but surprisingly, his reflection mirrored his action.

'Wait, this is me?' he thought as he touched his face, finally having confirmation about his doubt.

"Holy sh*t, this is amazing," Sung exclaimed, finally realising that the tall and handsome young man who was starting at him through the reflection was him.

Sung was always short and skinny due to him never being able to eat proper meals despite working all day due to him needing to pay for his mother's medical bill.

While Sung tried to ignore it, the truth is that he was always very insecure about his looks, especially when he saw everyone being taller and better built than him.

But his insecurity about his talent far outweighed his insecurity about his looks.

But it seems at least one of his insecurities was fixed; his new body was very tall, easily above 6 feet, and very well built with visible abs.

And even his face was extremely handsome, almost too handsome, like it didn't belong on a human, but who cares about that? The more, the merrier.

Even his manhood down there was much longer than his previous one.

Sung felt weird to suddenly become so incredibly handsome and well-built after being short and average his whole life.

But this was definitely something he could get used to.

'Mother would be so happy to see my new body'

Sung was getting excited just imagining his mother's reaction to his new body.

But before he got ahead of himself, there was another thing he needed to check.

------------------------------------------------------------

Silence engulfed the whole cave as he looked at his own status screen.

He was too shocked to even form a proper thought until a few minutes later, when he said.

"This is unbelievable"

He still couldn't believe everything that was being displayed to him.

While he failed to become a divine human, it seems all the pain he went through wasn't in vain, as it resulted in him gaining a Tier IV aspect, which meant he had the potential to reach the peak of all humans.

While there were other Tier IV aspect users out there, they didn't have a system to assist them, meaning that just by having this, he could reach the peak of all humans and take his revenge.

This, while not as amazing as having the potential to become a god, was certainly far better than anything he could have imagined.

And just by having his aspect evolved, he had gained more stats and battle force than what he had after years of training. Honestly, Sung felt a little bitter about it, but it didn't matter anymore.

What did matter was that his revenge was no longer a pipe dream but only a matter of time.

"Hahaha!!!" Sung let out an insane laugh as he finally realised that everything he had done and sacrificed was worth it.

"Edge Lord, in the future, you will wish that you had managed to kill me today, but sadly for you, I would be much stronger than even a talented prick like you by then."

"Mark my words, both you and my uncle will die by my hands."
