Somewhere in West Africa, under a scorching heat of 41° Celsius at noon, students line up for the cafeteria under the sun. Here, we meet Isaac, 19 years old, who stands two heads taller than average. He is 1.90 m tall with fairly broad shoulders, a musculature not very pronounced but enough to be the starting captain of the university basketball team.
"Ahh... My head is on fire and my stomach isn't helping, I plan to make two rounds around the attiéké and dêguè stalls..." Isaac sighed to himself.
"Hey bro, remember to stay close to help me bear the sun," his friend Jérôme said. Jérôme, shorter, takes advantage of Isaac's build to get some shade during this hot period.
The two are second-year medical students. They are not geniuses but managed to get recommendations for medical studies. In their country, elitism is prevalent in the sense that most students are in fields that do not involve practical work on the ground but rather the comfort of an air-conditioned office. Isaac comes from a middle-class family, not living in the capital, and lodges in the university dormitory.
He is quite popular with girls, yet having very strict parents, he has not had a girlfriend yet. However, that does not stop him from dreaming of having one with appealing curves, kind, who will take care of him and all. Still, reality is harsh...
He has seen many get rejected with lines like: "You're just a student, you won't be able to take care of me," or worse, others have girlfriends who get courted by someone with a stable job. Of course, they leave the student. Well, they are partly right, because between a promise of a glorious future and a stable and certain present, the present is quickly chosen.
Isaac's parents forbade dating in high school to avoid this kind of "goumin" (heart break), but that doesn't stop him from having a crush from high school who is already engaged...
That said, to soothe his lonely heart, he indulges in reading manga and high school anime, then web novels at university. Afterwards, he imagines a life of adventure and fantastic encounters, one or several super companions to live an eternity with. Yes, in his country, if you acknowledge at your first marriage that it is polygamous, you can have several wives. However, it depends on your traditions, religion, and financial status. Like in the rebatté news where you win hearts by proving stability focused on the financial side.
But often, some women can be close to "Yandere" types who, to have a man, will put his soul in a bottle to keep him for themselves. He will do whatever she wants, and he will be called a sheep husband...
Well, let's get back to our dear Isaac, because yes, this story will revolve around him. While he was reading his novel in the cafeteria, a story about a guy tired of his daily life who meets an opportunity to become a being between mortal and divine who spends his time courting more or less crazy girls, he suddenly finds himself in darkness.
When he comes to, he finds himself in a vast room where people with canine ears are looking at him. They speak in a language foreign to his own. In front of him, a towering man with a dignified build who commands respect stands.
"Hahhh Hahhh... Where am I?" Isaac wonders.
Suddenly, a screen appears before his eyes:
[System initialization...]
[Progress... 002%]
[Progress... 010%]
[Progress... 050%]
[Progress... 070%]
[Progress... 080%]
[Progress... 100%]
[Welcome dear host to the Omniverse system]
[To begin, we will give you the universal language skills; you will be able to understand languages and speak to any living being endowed with reason]
After that, the screen disappeared, but now he could understand the people around him.
"He is different from what I thought, I believed he would look like humans from the galaxy of Immortals and Mages. He looks like dark elves, but without pointed ears," said a man in the corner.
"His hair is strange too, as if his hair had been fried," a lady nearby continued.
The imposing man named Gilgard Lucan is the Alpha of the Werewolves who rule half of the Red Moon Galaxy, alternately led by werewolves and vampires; he spoke:
"Welcome Human from the lost past; we are creatures who appeared several billion years after your realms went extinct."
"I am Gilgard Lucan, leader of the werewolf pack of the Red Moon galaxy. We co-lead this galaxy with the vampires with whom we have had millions of years of disputes that made us strong. We are the pinnacle of power in this galaxy."
"Unfortunately, like everything that has a beginning, there is an end. Our Universe, composed of 10 galaxies with similar powers including ours, is on the brink of extinction in 250,000 years from today. We have called upon diviners and prophets, and the solution is that each galaxy must summon a being from the extinct universe; this summoning in space-time allowed you to come. To save the universe, 10 of you are summoned, and the universe, in defensive mode against its extinction, generates systems in you, but only one system will be the solution to save the universe. Moreover, you were chosen because your lineage is the most adaptable and not yet fully defined. Thus, we will be in your hands."
He then continued: "As for the systems, we only know that you have them but do not know their nature and purpose because we cannot divine them, and we do not know which of the ten summoned could be the final savior."
"We only know that you will be representatives of our lineages and must acquire them before beginning your journey through the mortals realms."
Isaac, looking dazed, began to realize his life had just turned upside down; he wouldn't even be able to say goodbye to his parents. He finds himself in the situation he dreamed of but without friends or parents. He felt abandoned by the world.
"What to do? How to survive? Are they sincere? How will I accomplish this mission?" These thoughts raced through his mind when suddenly the system reappeared...
