Chapter 2: Prologue 1: Chaotic Evil System
If I told you that for 59,420 years, you would have to live various lives from being a baby to building relationships to proving yourself, for a reward, but you would also have to be fated to be a hero every single time and save the people. You always remember everything and can never do anything evil. Not only that, but you'll have to be born as a normal person until your powers awaken, and even have a body weaker than normal people's by default until you got your powers.
Does that sound like fun to you?
Well, that's how I lived my 6,968 lives. How did I have this many lives? Well, I was the kind of bastard living a depressive life on earth, and bam! Isekai after I got run over by a truck, a classic honestly.
From then on I was given the ability <Panmnesia> and now I can't forget anything so long as my soul exists anywhere in time and space. Now having absolutely perfect memory, I managed to use my advantages to rise in my new life in a typical fantasy world, and eventually, I became a hero... The worst of all my, honestly far too many mistakes.
After I became a hero, the celestial beings began taking interest in me and offered me their support in my journey to kill the demon king, which I did. Great, right? Well, apparently it was not great enough, as I died in that battle because I was inexperienced at the time, and the celestials told me I had to go through a set number of lives with the conditions I mentioned before, to ascend to a higher plane and rest now that my memory was impossible to erase.
-3rd life-
By this time I had gotten to my own and honestly, this whole being fated to be a hero thing wasn't too bad, at least I still could get married and have kids if I ever felt the need to, and saving people was always refreshing, plus there were always interesting people to meet along the way.
-12th life-
Tired that's how I feel, by now it feels like people would just rather let me try and die trying, rather than actually moving a finger to try and solve their own problems. I understand a lot of the monster-slaying stuff and all that, but the errand boy thing is such a pain already. Even still, I can at least find peace in knowing I'm saving people, and that won't ever change.
-60th life-
Once you get to a certain point of doing something everything starts to blend, and you forget what was when, right? Well, I can't do that, I remember every moment I experienced until this point in perfect detail. I don't need any more princesses, kingdoms falling, demon kings, and whatever else! If it wasn't for the fact that by doing this I at least save some lives and help make the world better even if by a bit, I would probably have stopped long ago.
-360th life-
I know I started this to become a celestial being and all that, but at this point, I don't think anything is worth what I'm going through. At first, it was just the typical fantasy worlds and I was actually getting sick of them, but now I have lived in all kinds of worlds, and they all have something me in common despite how different they may get, and that common point is how much they can't let me just not do everything for them! Trying to save these worlds?! I even tried getting rid of myself only to wake up as a baby in the next world! Great! Being a baby again! I thought it was hellish the first 359 times, but it somehow reached a new low!
-2,520th life-
No matter what I did or what background I was born into, in the end, I would always! And I mean ALWAYS be the hero as it was literally written into my fate that I have to and will keep being the hero of the worlds I inhabitant, and in a reality with infinite worlds, that was always a possibility. To distract from this I tried to focus on other things and get hobbies, master different arts, and all that. Saving people just happened no matter what I tried to do, and I was no longer sure of what the point of any of it was, anymore.
-5,040th life-
Why? Am I still here? That's a legit question I got used to asking myself. All the things I learned and trained, all the times, I had to master my hero powers and body! All the times, I had to prove myself to people because heroes can't do anything evil! All the times I was targeted by many individuals because of my position as the hero! No matter what I said, presented, or tried to do. My path as the hero was set by beings that existed beyond me, and all I could do was follow it. My only hope was that of someday ascending and being free from my mortal cycle. Saving people? I guess I do that...
-6968th life-
Through all the annoyances and my multiple crises, I couldn't help but feel like at this point nothing truly ever mattered and I was just a fool playing the game of reality, where there are no true winners, aside from those who chose to be. That's why instead of fully resignating to fate, I spend my time developing an ability to hear the celestials, something that was possible for any devotee being using Holy magic, which I did and it resulted in me finding out the truth.
I was never going to ascend... It was a thought that crossed my mind one too many times and I was well aware of the possibility, but like in many other cases, when it comes to humans, I didn't want to accept that as my reality and just told myself things would work out in the end. I'm tired, not physically or mentally but emotionally.
Soon after, they disposed of me. They threw me into a place known as the abyssal void, where all the things that didn't move according to the Celestias' plans would be thrown into. Of course, they could have simply destroyed my soul and have been done with it, but no, they instead throw me into a prison where they locked all their unwanted enemies and things, unable to escape. Why? Well, they do it because they are beings that work under the domain of order, they need to be 'good' more than they need to get rid of me, so I was thrown here. It's not like they ever saw a mortal like me as a threat.
This only lead to further pain, yes as one would expect, being locked up with powerful evil beings or rejects didn't go along peacefully. My everyday became even more of a battle than it was when I was a hero, at least then there were companions and people looking up to me, and even in all my tiredness of that cycle, I could at least fool myself into looking forward to something. In the abyssal Void, nothing was ever yours and everything could and would be taken away the moment you weren't looking.
Nobody was going to help you or show any mercy or pity. Empathy was a lie and sympathy was delusional.
As I journeyed this prison domain, I was eventually met with something that changed everything. The Chaos Conductor Core, an object that rejects and destroys everything that it's not compatible with to the last particle. Rumored to be the functioning core of the Abyssal Void, but never obtained by anyone in here despite being within reach. It was now right in front of me, a dark red sphere with no special aura around it. I who was tired of everything decided to touch it and maybe end things in a peaceful matter.

Then nothing! Once again I was left to wander with no answer in store, so I took it as a sign and decided to move on and change things.
Time passed, a lot of time passed and unlike my lives, I was not counting. If I wanted to, I could find out the exact number, but I just don't see the point of knowing that. Life in that chaotic environment eventually became the norm and as one would expect I got used to it... Though what surprised me about my lifestyle was not what it entailed, rather it was instead how much I appreciated it that surprised me. There was simply something about this chaotic unruly place, and a way it worked that just felt right... It felt liberating!... Fun!!
How long had it been since I felt any excitement towards the next moment of my existence, it was ironically now that I was technically dead, that I was finally alive again! So I killed, pillaged, kidnapped, tortured, manipulated, r*ped, mind controlled, ensl*ved, and whatever else felt necessary at the moment to increase my chances of making it out on top. How delightful it all was! That was the environment I lived my everyday life in for whatever time, not that it mattered as life and death moments aside, I had never lived more than I was doing so in this accursed place out of all things.
Maybe my mind was always distorted and perverse, only being revealed by the Abyssal Void, but whatever the case, I know that if I ever escaped, I would definitely pay back those celestial somehow, after all, if I escaped this place, I would have to be able to somehow deal with them. Oh, and I couldn't forget to conquer the worlds under them since from what I knew, they could be very profitable for celestial-level beings all things considered.
Oh well, that didn't matter, for now, I had to focus on my life here and what I was going to do next. There was a whole hierarchy in this place and all, but the thing was... I used holy magic as my main power aside from the basic elemental stuff, but here holy magic didn't work at all, so I ended up at the bottom surviving by hiding, stealing, killing, and all that for what I could. At this point, I had joined and betrayed various groups of bandits and other criminal organizations, it was the way of life around these parts.
Moving back and forth was my thing and it was working well so far, plus, if I stayed somewhere for too long, only death awaited me. The way things in this place worked was this bad in part because the ones who created the system and stood at the top were powerful evil beings, and in another part, because the vast majority of individuals here were created by those same beings, just to be part of lower classes and lower in the system they made.
There were unregistered individuals also known as void wanderers, such as myself standing at the bottom of everything, but I was already used to getting my hands on some forged identities, so it wasn't a big deal. After that were the void slaves, yes slaves were considered above those unregistered, since we technically existed outside the system, because we weren't marked by any of the 9 Abyssal Emperors, those standing at the top.
From slaves it went to void denizens, then void nobility, void royalty, and the Void 3 Imperial families. After which that, this same hierarchy repeated itself on the Abyssal stage. Oh yeah, I haven't mentioned that this place was divided into two main parts, the void stage where the lowly lived, and the abyssal stage where the actual people lived. Those in that void stage are considered cattle at best by those in the abyssal stage. That did not stop me, though.
-Later-
10,000 years! That's what it took me to rise from the bottom where I stood at be void stage to reach the top of the abyssal stage, getting rid of the very beings at the top. I became that who truly ruled everything in the Abyssal Void, and as such, I confirmed that the Chaos Conductor Core, I got all the way back was not the core of this place, as I got to actually stand in front of the core towering over me with its size of 300 meters radius of circumference. The Emperors of the Abyssal stage had hidden it in a pocket dimension, outside of everyone else's reach, and now all mine. As soon as I touched it, something happened.

Right after a small pink-skinned girl with reddish petal-like hair and purplish insect-like wings, wearing a green dress accompanied by green leggings that barely fit her, as she was thick for her body stature.
"Welcome to the Chaotic Evil System, Master! Leahfithin, but you can Leah! I'm your personal assistant from now on! Anything... Especially se-... And I mean anything you need just tell me, and we'll find a way around it." She talked quickly and despite being small, her voice carried an unusual level of alluringness to it.
"Can I leave this place?" I asked about what interested me.
"Of course! That's entirely and totally possible, but it will require you to bypass solely as a soul, which basically means reincarnation again... That is because there are many restrictions imposed on this place and even your soul as it is now, so to cleanse all that, this method would be necessary." Leah explained while flying around me.
"I don't care, just do it. I'll get my revenge on those pesky celestials eventually, not only that, but I'll take everything from them before I do. How fun it will be when I get to see their faces! Fuck! I'm getting a little too excited... No, I have to be patient, the best revenge is served cold." I calmed myself down from the excitement of the mere thought of breaking those bastards apart bit by bit.
"That's the spirit! Master, as the host of the Core, you have gained a personalized system to suit your taste and received a lot of perks related to that. Myself included. But right now, you have to make a choice. You can simply leave and reincarnate normally or, you can allow the core to consume the entirety of the Abyssal Void, granting you an internal universe, compatibility with all types of energy, void powers, and a base good enough for you to make a perfect human body for your next life." Leah presented the situation to me with an evil smile.
"You're joking, right? Is there anything to choose?! Consume all of it! Don't allow a single life... No! A single particle to escape!" What kind of idiot would hesitate to destroy such a place to gain benefits for themselves, heck, I wouldn't bat an eye even if it was my first universe with earth in it.
With my command began the event that was later titled the Bloop, as the entirety of the Abyssal Void disappeared and the Celestials had no idea of what Just had happened.
-6,969th life-
Right there, I stood in front of a gigantic man clad in black armor as he smiled at me with a vicious purple glow to his eyes. Behind him, lay various human bodies in the environment of a destroyed city. The water passed and moved around us without touching us, and in the evening sky, the moon could be seen to be much closer to the planet, not only that... It was now cleaved in half as one side of it was nowhere to be seen.
"Hahaha! Human, you hold power that I did not expect from someone on your measly planet, but if you believe you will survive this encounter, you are as delusional as everyone else on this planet." The man clad in black armor declared.
Then he moved his arm casually creating a powerful impact, that completely obliterated whatever was left of the city on that side, subsequently creating a tsunami as a result of his move.
"I'll rip your heart off and make you eat it." I responded seriously with cold eyes.
