They said that death was the end of the line but just like I have guessed, it wasn't. I died then somehow arrived at a different dimension. One which, judging from what I have heard, will give me opportunities to accomplished whatever I want.

" Admin, what are the so-called opportunities?" I questioned the invisible entity.

" The opportunities the Chief God's Dimension provided are many. Just relax and I will explain." Maybe I should classify the Admin as female due to her feminine voice.

" There are three levels of dimensions:

Ranked first is the Chief God's Dimension where the Chief God's Avatars stay during their downtime between Quests. Here, the Avatars can challenge the Ascension Tower to improve themselves or enjoy various amenities, trading or making various items, or relax from an arduous journey. An Avatar can only stay in this Dimension for 10 days before needing to spend more Exchange points for another 10 days. Do note that running out of Exchange points will result in permanent obliteration.

The second and third kinds of dimensions are Origin Dimension and Dungeon Dimension. Both are places you go to complete quests, earn Exchange points, and the ultimate goal is to conquer all of them. The differences between the two dimensions are:

Origin Dimensions are the place where tales, legends, anecdotes,... are created and from which the Dungeon Dimensions are based on to function. Usually, the strength and difficulty of an Origin Dimension are higher than those of a Dungeon Dimension. However, with greater risks come greater rewards. Your previous world was one such Origin Dimension though it was demoted to a Dungeon Dimension when it fell to ruin."

The Admin stopped for a bit as if letting all the information sink in.

" The rewards may also include finding your dearest..."

" Say no more, I'm in." I cut in, my calm heart fluctuated a bit. " After all, this is my second chance. Rather than wasting time on a vendetta, I shall travel and search for her."

" 50 Exchange points for a determined Avatar." The joyous Admin rewarded me again.

" Now, we will move on to the character creation session. Only when you have personalized yourself will you be a true Avatar and unlock all facilities for the Chief God's Dimension." A white holo screen popped up in front of me.

" Please type your name."

Without hesitating, I input the name my beloved gave me.

Kiseki.

A miracle that God granted, is what she would say if she was here.

" A fitting name. Let us move on to character customization." The screen was replaced with another one showing a 360-degree view of my body. I was about to fiddle around with the customization options but the Admin intervened.

" I will handle this personally, so just sit back." Said Admin cheerfully.

" Gender... Of course, it has to be female, though I will also create a Fulmar option in case you need one."

" Fulmar?" I questioned with a tilt of my head.

" It's basically what you would call a futanari." The Admin answered.

" Oh." I didn't question further. For some reason, I think that letting Admin customizes my character wouldn't be a bad thing.

" As for your look, let make you somewhat taller than your previous childlike body with ashen hair that went past your shoulder. Your skin is snow white that is soft to the touch. As for your BWH measurements, of course, it's a 36 24 36 figure. I can't leave you losing out in any aspect.

Next is your facial details. Judging from your past experiences and body features, I will sculpt your face like that of an angel, a beautiful one with a sad undertone. Your eyes' colors cannot be overridden due to one of your innate skills so they will stay blue like sapphire. Adding some minor touches here and there and that will be it. Have a look!" Very proud of her work, the Admin presented me with, well... me, stark naked on the screen.

" Uhm... Thank you for your work." I bowed, not sure why the Admin did all of that but saved me the trouble I guess. I did look good with her customizations.

" 100 Exchange points for an Avatar that knows how to appreciate fine arts!"

But is it ok to throw around all those points?

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

Sometime later, Admin introduced me to my Private Space. It's a space where I can make a home and furnish it to live in while staying in the Chief God's Dimension. She then introduced me to the Hub where lies the Trading Center, all kinds of shops, the Ascension Tower, Trial Arena, and so on...

During our little excursion, I saw many other Avatars of all races: few are humans, some humanoids, while others are mechanical or completely alien. I also bought many things with the allowance of 10000 Exchange points I was given as a beginner Avatar, not including the bonus points I received from Admin.

Back at my Private Space, I ask the Admin to help me erect a small mansion with a front flower garden and a backyard with a few other facilities like a smithery and shooting range,... They cost 2000 expensive points but this is a worthwhile investment. I'm surprised that it did not cost more considering that I could make items that I need with the backyard facilities.

" Well, not all Avatars have the skill to craft items like you so the equipment from the Hub comes with a reduced cost." The Admin explained.

" So that's how it is." I nodded understandingly.

Speaking of skills. I checked my status page again.

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

Serial number: 31052000

Name: Kiseki

Race: Artificial Angel

Class; Artificer

Title: Messenger of the Chief God

Status ( Sealed): Rank 5

VIT: 10/???? ( Sealed)

STR:15/???? ( Sealed)

AGI:20/???? ( Sealed)

INT:15/???? ( Sealed)

Innate Skills: Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Artificer's Will

Acquired Skills: All-Craft ( 1/3), Angel Mystic art ( 1/3), Fallen Angel War art ( 1/3), Fallen Angel's Vow ( 1/3)

Status points: 0

Skill point: 0

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

To explain, the sealed status, you could say that I am dying. To be more precise, my soul is breaking.

As an Artificial Angel, I wasn't supposed to exist but my beloved created a miracle. So, I was born with intellect, emotion, and an artificial soul. Everything was supposed to be normal until I overexerted my strength, rendered irreparable damage to my already fragile soul. It also explained why my stats are sealed.

As Admin said, I am too far gone to be patched up. To live on, I need to reach Rank 2.

Incidentally, Avatar ranking is like this:

Rank 5 all stats in total reached 100.

Rank 4 all stats in total reached 200

Rank 3 all stats in total reached 300

Rank 2 unknown.

Rank 1 unknown.

While asking why Rank 1 and Rank 2 are unknown, Admin said I need to figure it out myself. Each Rank also amounts up to 20 floors of the Ascension Tower in terms of strength. Though, it's just a reference value, not a hard-cap, informed Admin.

With that out of the way, my Innate Skills are interesting.

Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, a broken skill that can let me see the Death of all things at will. With a blade, I see lines of things I can 'kill' if I cut them slightly. With bare hands and projectile weapons, I can see points where I can hit to 'kill'. Armor, lifeforce,... all is meaningless in front of Death.

Next is my class, Artificer. As an artificial being not recognized by normality. My beloved gave me a class that allowed me to create, and improve skills that are suitable for my needs. She said that this is a cheat only I can use.

Even without skill, a person can still smith a blade, but with skill, the blade can be made much stronger than usual. But skill is what you're born with, it's very rare for the world to grant you a skill even with hard work. Artificer ignores that restriction, allowing me to acquire a skill if I have enough comprehension of the subject the skill stands for. For example, All-Craft which is now at level 1 can help me in making swords, blades, and medicines,... To have this skill I need to know how to make all of the above.

Took me a long time but during my stay at the mansion and the Ascension Tower, I reacquired most of my lost skills. Why? Because I died once.

Angel Mystic art is an all-encompassing magic art that only Angel could use by borrowing the power of God... or should I say, Chief God? This is still level 1.

Fallen Angel War art is an art that specialized in warfare and physical combat instead of mystical combat. It's also level 1 for now.

Fallen Angel's vow is a special skill that buffs all my stats by 100% of their current value. If by chance, I already have a stats buff, this skill can stack on with said buff to result in a more outrageous one. It is, however, last only 10 minutes. After that, I will face severe debuff while also worsening my soul condition.

" Rather than buffs, it is more like it removes some of your sealed stats. Allowing you to regain a fraction of your former strength at the cost of quickening your demise."

As for status points and skill points, they can be used to improve me but I can only get them through quests. The Admin said it is better to not rely on them too much, an Avatar can also improve through hard work and perseverance.

" Your stats are normal for a Rank 5 Avatar, it's your skills and combat experiences that even a middle-staged Rank 4 gonna have a hard time defeating you. You should be proud." The Admin commented with a happy tone.

" I'm glad to know that, but I'm not gonna get complacent."

" 100 Exchange points for a humble Avatar!" I shook my head with a wry smile.

" I did spend 6 days in training, the last 4 days I will focus on improving my arsenal." I said as I open the door of one of the backyard facilities. Inside, I arranged a smithy with some materials that I bought at the Hub.

" Time to start working." I tied my hair into a ponytail as I said that.

" 50 Exchange points for a cool Avatar!" A certain Admin praised.

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

On day 7th, I completed my Daisho. A pair of katana and wakizashi. They are recognized as a set by Admin.

White Moonlight ( Set gear)

The black katana is named Kuro, she improves my STR by 15%, all other stats improve by 10%.

The white wakizashi is called Shiro, this little girl improves my AGI and INT by 15%, all other stats by 5%.

Set effect: When wielding Shiro and Kuro, all stats improve further by 5%.

They are beautifully crafted with affection. Kuro compliments my Fallen Angel War art well while Shiro stands for my Angel Mystic art. While I don't need a weapon due to having my Mystic Eyes. I dislike the idea of fighting barehanded.

Day 8th, I created my solution for medium and long-range combat, a rifle and a pistol.

They are made to look like my previous world's Sig Sauer MCX Spear 6.8x51mm rifle and the FK BRNO 7.5mm F9 pistol. Just because they are the guns I used in my previous life. It's interesting to know that while they can fire physical bullets, they are modified and enchanted to fire Mystic rounds with various effects. The Spear grants me 20% more STR and 10% INT. The Bruno gives me an increase of 10% STR, 10% AGI, and 20% INT.

The whole set, when dual-wield, gives another 5% to all stats and gives me better accuracy.

At the end of day 9th, I made myself a few sets of clothing, underclothes, accessories, and shoes. All of the sets come in various colors and fashions, but they all provide an improvement of 5% to all my stats.

The last day in the Chief God's Dimension. I made various medicines, potions, and consumables. After all my preparations, I put all the stuff in a spatial inventory that is only accessible to me.

" It's convenient that as long as you will it, a weapon or armor will appear on your body." I mutter.

" That's the advantage of being an Avatar. You can be harmless in one moment, the next instant you can conjure up a large arsenal to deal with your enemy." Said Admin dryly, then her tone suddenly has a bit more fervor.

" But I'm honestly more impressed with you. With only 10000 points, you have made a lot of useful gears. The items you're carrying now worth 30000 points. Not to mention the ones you put on sale at the Hub, I bet when we return from a quest, said items will yield at least 15000 points. So I dare say that you got yourself a money-making scheme on hands."

" Sadly, I don't think I can stay still and work on crafting too much." I shook my head." Let us move on."

" I see, then..." After a few seconds. " Rolling for Dimension Quests... Detecting user holding items capable of interfering with the roll. Will you use it or not?" Admin questioned in a serious tone.

" Yes." I lightly replied, before taking and throwing a token in the air.

" Rank 5 Dimension designation token submitted. Please choose a Rank 5 dimension, number of participants, and difficulty.

Dungeon Dimension: Twilight of the Iron fortress

Dungeon Dimension: Gun Art Online

Dungeon Dimension: Sparknights

Dungeon Dimension: Witches of War

Dungeon Dimension: World Break of Spirits

" Witches of War, 1 participant, highest difficulty." I chose.

" Received. Rolling Quests...." After a minute. " Ding!"

" Quests rolled, difficulty Rank S, number of participants: 1.

Objective 1: Be classified as an S-class witch. Reward: 10000 Exchange points

Objective 2: Destroy the Dragoon nest at the South China Sea. Reward 20000 Exchange points.

Objective 3: Kill as many Dragoons as possible. Reward: The more you kill, the more you earn. The stronger the foe, the higher the return."

" Identity arranged. Starting transfer in 30 seconds." The admin informed.

" Phew, it was tiresome doing all these works." The Admin complained. " But hey, at least we can journey through a myriad of worlds in return."

" But I gotta say, even though you have some knowledge about that world. It's still better to be careful. You know, butterfly effect and the likes." Admin advised.

" I will take that to heart, thanks." I smiled and made a bow.

" 100 Exchange points for a good Avatar!" This has become a routine already, I think.

" I really need to be careful, for her sake." I thought to myself as a film of light engulfed me.
