Introduction This universe consists of Gods, Superheroes, Villains, and many more advanced civilizations. This universe was created by Omkar who is the god of gods. He created many universes and then they created Lord Brahma The Lord of creation, Lord Vishnu the Lord of preservation and Lord Shiva the destroyer, they were also called together Trimurti by other gods. They made other gods and gave them their unique powers. They decided to make a leader of the gods and they chose God Indra to lead other gods. Trimurti also created rakshas, asura and many more powerful monster like creatures but, that was their mistake to create them as they attacked on the gods to get more powers and the motive was to conquer the world but Trimurti helped Gods and locked monsters in several pockets of patal lok every pocket could be unlocked with several special keys made by God Vishvakarma, and gods started living in swarglok which was so peaceful place. Later all gods decide to make 5 elemental rings(these rings also can choose their owner by there own) full of cosmic energy (there are two types of energy that are Cosmo and Cosmic, Cosmo energy can be achieved by anyone but Cosmic energy can't be possessed by anyone who is not a god except one in the history) with the help of God Vishvakarma. They made some elemental stones with the help of rings which can be attached from the rings(unlike rings, stones can't choose their owners by themselves). All the rings were preserved in 5 different chambers no one knows where those chambers were. Thousands of years later one person got all of the rings and unlocked some of creatures from patal and started killing everyone in the universe but some gods managed to kill that person and decides to not interfere in the universe directly instead operate all of the universe from swarglok and again put all the rings in the chamber and later that chambers got broke and all rings lost in darkness of the space some says that the chambers broke eventually and some says it was broken by someone Later on&..

Tighyt Sasomac is a normal person on the world of Kantala. Sure, he's a powerful human, and basically the leader of a city, but a normal human, at least for his level during the current regime. He went to bed like any normal decade. He woke up on another planet. One named Earth. And there, no one has any idea about magic. So yeah, he's basically able to do anything he wants-but monsters lurk on Earth. As his large mana pool fills Earth, the threats to Earth grow. Maybe it isn't some slum where there isn't any magic after all... That's the story. Here's more of the technical aspect. So, most of you you probably know that isekai is one of the most popular genres on this platform. For those of you who don't know what isekai is, it's when the main character, a normal person from Earth, gets teleported to some other planet with magic. Progression type magic. This is a spin on isekai. Instead of the main character, an Earthling, getting teleported to some planet with magic, someone from the magic planet, with powerful magic, is teleported to Earth. I wouldn't exactly call the main character's powers magic, but super strength achieved through a magic system is close enough to magic (the MC is a melee fighter). That leads to all sort of funny scenes where no one but the MC knows about magic power. Until the MC uses his high-level mana pool to make Earth into a magic planet, combining Post Apocalyptic with isekai. High fantasy with low fantasy. All sorts of stuff going together that shouldn't have. This is ruling class, but it won't be dedicated to town-building (it's more "MC is so OP he can declare himself king of Earth because he feels like it and the natives are too weak to resist). Content warnings are mainly for creative freedom, but I'm going to keep it within boundaries. Sadly, I couldn't do a full sized novel, but I promise, my next story will be out soon, and much higher quality (more description). Plus, unlike my previous story, this is normal-in a good way. Here's what to expect: Longer chapters Character driven Decent grammar Consistancy
