NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1: Prolog
It was a hot afternoon, and there were two teenagers in a quiet park. One of them was busy taking photos of his big red and black GSX bike.
"Angga, that's a good picture."
"Wait a minute El, after this the photos I take will be good!" Angga replied enthusiastically.
"Haah~ hurry up, this is the tenth time you've said that. In fact, you haven't liked any of them since then!" El was very annoyed with his friend.
El Ira Adrian, a handsome, good-looking man with black hair and black eyes, could only complain about his best friend's habits. El was his nickname, his family and close friends would call him El.
A few minutes later, Angga finally finished taking photos on his motorcycle. Then he stored the camera in the bag he carried on his back. "Okay, okay. This is finished. Just need to edit it at home. Okay, let's go home!"
Then Angga got on and started the engine of his motorcycle. And also invited El to come along because Riwan didn't bring his vehicle.
El smiled, "Finally you can go home! It's been a long time. If I had known from the start, I wouldn't have come." El was still grumbling because he was still very upset.
The reason El was upset was because from morning to noon the park was deserted. Angga was engrossed in his own photo session, not caring about the scorching sun. Meanwhile, El had been hungry, thirsty and hot since earlier.
Angga sped his motorcycle at high speed under the scorching sun. The road looked very crowded with various vehicles passing by. El, who was riding behind Angga, felt bad.
"You idiot! Slow down on the motorcycle." El hit Angga's helmet so hard that it rang. El did that because otherwise Angga wouldn't have ridden slowly. His friend had many very bad traits.
El had known Angga since he entered junior high school. They were quite close even though they were 2 years apart in age, in other words, El was older than Angga.
"Yes, yes. Ehehe. Take it slow!" it was so different from what he said. El stepped on the motorcycle and shifted the clutch and sped up to full speed.
"Idiot!" El snapped.
Angga passed every car, motorcycle, or truck with ease. But the bad feeling El felt was getting stronger. Therefore, El hit the back of Angga's helmet again.
Even so, Angga continued to drive his motorcycle fast. He didn't care what his best friend, El, said. Until finally they almost reached the crossroads.
When Angga was about to pull the brake, the motorcycle did not slow down. The red light at the intersection was already on. All vehicles on the path Angga and Riwan were traveling on stopped, waiting for the light to turn green except Angga and Riwan.
"Shit!" Angga suddenly panicked.
***
El realized that he was adrift in a world that was so dark and cold. 'Where am I? Cold, dark, nothing to see.' El thought, he couldn't move, he could only blink. When he blinked for the third time, he was surprised.
[Congratulations! You have been selected as the Beyonder with serial number 120,000 to enter the Infinity Room!]
Suddenly, El realized that he was sitting on a bench in a dimly lit room. "Where is this? I distinctly remember getting hit in the head by a truck and ending up in the world of the dead."
As far as the eye could see, there were only four concrete walls separating his room, the table and chair he was using, and the square red wooden door in front of him. "This is another form of the realm of the dead? Or is it?"
[Starting installation for beginners!]
[Finished!]
Mechanical noises began to sound in El's head. "Installation? What does that mean? Could this not be the realm of the dead?"
[Reincarnation Room, the world created by the main god Rencarnation Room]
[This world is connected to various other worlds, or perhaps what you might call the multiverse]
[Here you can gain the strength, wealth and power you dream of]
[However, everything must be obtained with your own hands. The Reincarnation Room only provides opportunities for Beyonders]
[The Beyonder with serial number 120,000 is chosen the moment after death comes to you. Therefore, you got the chance to come back to life and enter the Reincarnation room]
[Starting today, you are a Beyonder of the Reincarnation Room. You will come and go to different worlds. And get something that ordinary people never get]
[Of course, you can get all that by redeeming your points]
[Every newly joined Beyonder will get 1 random special ability, 1000 points, and 5 free attributes. Please use them wisely. Because it will affect the first mission you do]
[Some basic information about the Reincarnation Room and Beyonder has been sent directly to your brain]
[In 20 minutes, you will be sent to the first world. For the eligibility test, you will be tested in that world]
[For now, you cannot leave your personal space. Only if you pass our eligibility test do you become a true Beyonder. You are given 20 minutes to understand.]
[By becoming a true Beyonder, you can open up various worlds and also gain some possibilities]
The moment the mechanical words stopped, El realized that he was not in the realm of the dead. 'It's possible that the voice was the system, this is interesting! Very interesting!'
"So I have 20 minutes? Looks like there's only 15 minutes left. Time to get used to being a Beyonder. Alright, let's see, status?"
Ding!

"Based on the information sent directly to my brain. The power of the Beyonder, the first is attributes, the second is abilities, and the third is equipment. Like armor and weapons, accessories, similar in the game." Riwan began to understand the information in his brain.
"Then Nickname and Occupation, haha." El laughed. "I don't have any. It's normal, I'm just starting out." said El who already understood.
In the 3 pillars that are the Beyonder's main strength, the attributes represent the Beyonder's physical strength. Starting from STR is physical strength in the form of attack power and endurance, VIT is life force and regeneration, AGi is a measure of speed, jump and stamina, and the last is INT is a representation of miracles."
"INT determines the amount of magic. However, the information is a bit confusing. Is it perhaps some kind of energy that is unique to a certain world? Like magic, Chakra, Qi or Prana." El tried to understand the concept of INT in the Beyonder's power attribute.
El looked back at his attributes looking bad, he felt dissatisfied. Although El was currently 19 years old, he did not like doing sports activities. "Aih, it seems like it's my fault, if I knew this from the start, I would have been very diligent in exercising."
Since he was a child, El had suffered from lung spots. As a result, his lungs are now weaker at taking in oxygen, which helps the blood distribute nutrients throughout the body. That's why his body is slimmer than other people his age.
El suddenly remembered. "Ah! That's right, I also got one random special ability." On the status screen in front of Ira, there were the main pillars of the Beyonder. That is the attribute screen, abilities.
Just thinking about it made El impatient to see what abilities he would gain. El immediately pressed the 'random word' on the system's holographic screen.
Ding!
A round purple light that was the size of a pearl with 6 small black balls surrounding it, like small planets orbiting around a sun as the center, like a solar system and entering its body. After a while, the light finally went out and the hologram screen right in front of him underwent a slight change.
"Six Tomoe Rhinnegan? Isn't this Sasuke Uchiha's Rhinegan in the Naruto anime and manga series?"
