SSS-RANKED Awakening: Supreme Fate-breaker System-Chapter 5: Dungeons and Labyrinth...

Memories of his last moments on Earth resurfaced in his mind, his heart swelling with anger...

"Remember my name, Loki. Because one day, when you least expect it, I'll be the shadow that drags you into despair!"

The lights dimmed.

Ethan blinked, his surroundings blurring and darkening. His eyes tried to adjust, but everything was happening too fast. Apart from the searing rage in his heart, everything else was a blinding haze—too bright to make sense of his surroundings. Yet, the storm of emotions surging within him was proof enough that he was still alive. Still fighting.

When his eyes opened again, the warmth was gone, replaced by the sterile chill of a room steeped in wealth and power.

Gritting his teeth against the pain of his loss, Ethan's voice was low, almost a whisper. "Is this the alternate universe I was sent to?"

His eyes swept the room, taking in the polished surfaces, and many other things in the room.

He sighed in relief noticing that this world wasn't a primitive one, the last thing he wanted was to be sent to an alternate universe which is still at it's primitive time.

Sighing, Ethan studied the space momentarily, piecing together the details.

It wasn't just the room. The opulence, the technology, the way everything seemed meticulously designed for comfort and control—it all pointed to a life of privilege. Whoever was living in this room, seems to be leaving a good life, at least, that's what he knew from what he had observed so far..

But then, like a ripple in a still pond, memories began to surface in his mind. They weren't his own, but they felt close, personal, as if they had always been there, waiting for him to unlock them.

This body's memories!

Fragments of a life flashed before him—conversations, places, emotions that didn't belong to him yet felt oddly familiar. A young man from a noble lineage, a family steeped in wealth and influence.

Expectations, achievements, and failures weighed heavily in these memories, as though this person had lived under a constant shadow of judgment.

Ethan frowned, trying to piece it all together. "A noble? Technology like this? It's not Earth, but... it's close. It's technology advancement is almost, no it should be more than that of earth in my previous life!"

The more he tried to organize the memories, the clearer it became. This world wasn't entirely foreign—it shared echoes of his own, twisted and reshaped by forces he didn't yet understand.

As he stood in the center of the room, the sterile air felt heavy, almost suffocating. He had no idea what this alternate universe had in store for him, but one thing was certain—this wasn't just a second chance.

It was a new beginning.

From the memories flooding his mind, he knew this world was nothing like the mundane Earth he once called home, before he got transmigrated her, his former planet was just getting it's Apocalypse, but as it may seem from his memories. This world have gotten it's apocalypse, very long ago and have also adapted to it.

Hence Here, he had a chance. A chance to rise, to grow stronger, to surpass limits beyond imagination.

To ascend to godhood itself, bending dimensions to his will. If his memories was right, reaching the peak of strength, he stand a chance to go back to Earth in his previous world, while Claire's soul has been rewound he still had no idea whether she'll survive that apocalypse, but whatever the results is he has accepted it wholeheartedly in his heart already. But his main reason for wanting to get stronger, strong enough to warp through dimensions at will is to defeat, kill, the God Of Mischief Loki. He swore in his heart never to lose sight of this goal!

Gritting his teeth at the memories of his previous life, Ethan sat on the edge of the bed thinking about the memories he recently got from this body, This world, this life—it wasn't his, yet the memories felt too vivid to ignore.

He wasn't Ethan Cross anymore. Not entirely. Now, he was Ethan Drakethorne, the youngest son of one of the most powerful families in this world.

His thoughts spinning as fragments of the original owner's life played in his mind. Ethan Drakethorne, the youngest son of the mighty Drakethorne family, had led a life so different from Ethan Cross's that it was hard to reconcile the two.

Yet, their memories and identities were now tangled together, forcing him to make sense of his new reality.

The Drakethorne name wasn't just renowned—it was revered, it carried immense weight.

His father, Lord Gareth Drakethorne, was a legend—a conqueror of dungeons and Labyrinths who had secured not just wealth but dominance. Their ancestral home, a claimed Labyrinth turned into the grand Drakethorne Citadel, was both a fortress and a monument to Gareth's legacy. The second Labyrinth, Aurelian Depths, was even larger, housing a bustling town within its expansive chambers.

Lord Gareth Drakethorne, Ethan's father, was a legend, a man who had carved his way to the top of this world by conquering dungeons and Labyrinths. He has over 10 dungeons to his name with two Labyrinth of different ranks, which was extremely impressive, he was one of the strongest and most influential in this world...

Their family's home, Drakethorne Citadel, wasn't a mansion but a fully claimed Labyrinth, a monument to Gareth's Legacy repurposed into a sprawling estate.

Its grand halls still bore faint traces of its dangerous origins, a reminder of the power and tenacity required to claim such a place.

The second Labyrinth larger than the first and higher in rank, called Aurelian Depths, was an even greater testament to the Drakethorne family's might. It wasn't just a trophy—it was a functioning secluded city filled with people of different kinds. The Drakethorne family didn't just survive in this apocalyptic world; they dominated it.

***

Per his memories, this world, Nexa, was as harsh as it was advanced.

Dungeons are spatial dimensions filled with beasts, rumoured to be formed from the legendary Great Labyrinth, the largest and most mysterious dimension in existence. It is said to hold an endless supply of treasures and both sentient and non-sentient beasts.

Dungeons, however, are temporary. Once all the beasts within are defeated, they self-destruct, leaving behind valuable rewards and treasures for their conquerors.

Labyrinths, on the other hand, are similar in structure but vastly different in purpose and permanence. Unlike dungeons, Labyrinths are rare and do not vanish after being cleared. Instead, they remain, the Labyrinth conqueror having full control over it.
