Chapter 2: 2.boundless universe
From the dawn of beginnings to the end of endings, there exists a realm shrouded in primordial chaos—a force said to be older than existence itself, encompassing the seeds of creation and destruction alike. Though no proof binds it to our understanding, its legend persists, whispered among the eons.
But what truly is the Boundless Universe?
It is a colossal, infinite expanse teeming with the marvels and terrors of cosmic existence. Asteroids drift like ancient messengers; meteorites streak as fiery heralds of destiny. Comets carve luminous trails through the void, while stars burn as eternal beacons amidst the black abyss. Nebulae breathe colors into the darkness, and black holes devour the fabric of reality itself.
Yet, even these are but whispers of the Boundless Universe's scope. Warp holes twist the threads of space-time, planes ripple with dimensional energy, and cosmic beings—some as enigmatic as the Anti-Spiral—emerge as the architects of fate. Beneath its vast tapestry lies a web of multiverses, each layer folded upon the next like the skin of a celestial leviathan.
In simplest terms: it contains all and everything.
To speak of the Boundless Universe is to see one's imagination mirrored. Every concept you name, every entity you conjure—somewhere within this infinite realm, it already exists, its form etched into the boundless expanse.

A Universe of Infinite Life
Billions upon millions of life-bearing planets thrive within the Boundless Universe. Yet, it is not confined to a single sphere of existence. Lords—the chosen players of this grand game—are not limited to a mere world like Planet A31, where Louis has awakened. No, countless worlds serve as crucibles for these Lords, each a stage for their ascension or fall.
And beyond even this? Multiverses.
Worlds and dimensions so intertwined that one might, on a rare and fateful day, find themselves face-to-face with their own mirror image, a reflection born of opposing circumstances. Such is the sheer might and absurdity of this vast cosmos.

The Player's Journey
Newcomers are spawned at random coordinates, their arrival dictated by chance and fate. They may find themselves on unfamiliar planets or within realms yet uncharted. Each player begins with a Novice Session, a fragile cocoon of safety and preparation, for the Boundless Universe does not forgive ignorance.
Here, the game begins:
Will you rise as a conqueror, a scholar, or a forgotten ember in this eternal expanse?
Only time—and the Boundless Universe itself—can tell.

A true fantasy epic awaits within the Boundless Universe.
Here's a humor-filled recreation with a comedic twist and plenty of flair:

Welcome to the Lords' Chaos Academy
Picture this: every wannabe Lord from every random backwater planet within a galaxy is unceremoniously flung into a chaotic bootcamp—a cluster of two or more concatenated planets (fancy word for "smooshed together death traps"). You get dumped there with a sparkling smile and a slap on the back.
Your job? Survive or die trying.
Sounds simple? Oh, sweet summer child, no.

The Novice "Survive-or-Get-Screwed" Session
The first year is your trial period, a.k.a. the "honeymoon from hell." Here's the deal:
Month 1: Your territory is protected! No one can touch you. Peace, quiet, and cozy vibes. Ahhh.
Months 2-12: The gloves are off. Your enemies? Bandits, monsters, and your charming fellow Lords who may or may not want to barbecue you and steal your loot. Oh, and you can also die in Month 1 if you're especially unlucky. Surprise!
By the end of the year, you'll either be a rising star or a forgotten footnote in the Boundless Universe's obituary archives.

Post-Trial: Welcome to the Big Leagues!
Survive the first year? Congrats! You're now unceremoniously yeeted into the Boundless Universe proper, a.k.a. where dreams go to die. You'll land in a random country with a 12-month protection bubble. Great news, right? WRONG.
Why? Because the moment your protection expires, the "fate-sealing festival" begins. There's an old saying:
"The moment you enter the Boundless Universe, your fate is sealed tighter than grandma's pickle jars."
But wait! The fun doesn't stop there. It's widely rumored that our cozy little planet (you know, the one you're reading this from) is somewhere hidden deep in the Boundless Universe. Either we're so protected no one bothers us… or we're buried so far down the multiverse chain that even cosmic janitors can't be bothered to clean us up. Cheers to safety or obscurity!

Starter Pack: Universe Edition™
When you first arrive, the universe (after countless millennia of Lords whining, crying, and dying too fast) has graciously given you a Starter Pack. Here's what you get:
1 Talent: Could be god-tier… or you might get "Professional Toenail Clipper." Pray to RNGesus.
1 Skill: Fireballs? Swordsmanship? Or maybe how to scream real loud.
1 Troop: If you're lucky, you'll get knights. If not? Cockroach army it is!
1 Additional Troop: Because two armies are better than one. Or not.
1 Hut: Yep, your mansion dreams start with a cozy shack. Luxury on a budget.
1 System: The real MVP. It does your taxes, answers dumb questions, and helps you not die.

The Legendary Shop of Doom
Ah, the Shop, the crown jewel of the system. It's here because a handful of ancient beings with ungodly talents (we're talking SSS-level, EX-level, OP-as-hell beings) got so bored after tens of billions of years that they gave up their powers to create this intergalactic eBay. They died for it. Literally. (10/10 dedication.)
The Shop lets you:
Buy stuff: Weapons, potions, and probably the meaning of life (if you can afford it).
Sell stuff: Trash loot or your soul. (Price negotiable.)
---
System Rankings: A Reality Check
Let's get one thing straight: rankings are meaningless.
You might get a "Trash G-Rank," but don't sweat it. If you're clever, you could murder an S-Rank with a banana peel and some duct tape. Rankings are just a "friendly" measurement system made for lazy Lords who can't math. So if you see a G-Rank Lord laughing at their title, be afraid. Be VERY afraid.

Survival Tip:
When life gives you lemons, sell them in the Shop, buy a sword, and start swinging. Welcome to the Boundless Universe, newbie. May the odds be ever in your favor.
[ATTENTION VIEWERS: AS I SAID, THERE WILL BE A SYSTEM, BUT DO KNOW THIS—THE RANKINGS AND ANY KIND OF "CRAP" YOU'VE SEEN IN OTHER "LULU" NOVELS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO COMPARE WITH WHAT WE HAVE HERE. AND REMEMBER... THE SYSTEM RANKING IS JUST A USER-FRIENDLY APPARATUS, DESIGNED TO APPROXIMATELY MEASURE USING THE PRE-EXISTING KNOWLEDGE OF LORDS. SO EVEN IF YOU'RE MARKED AS A "TRASH" G RANK, YOU COULD STILL KILL AN S RANK LORD WITH YOUR OWN METHODS…
WHY? BECAUSE WHO THE HELL EVEN MEASURES THEM? IT'S JUST A STANDARD METHOD... NOT THE WHOLE PICTURE... KEEP THAT IN MIND.]
But none of these generations spawned over millions of years know anything about this stuff, and they all think the highest rank—SSS-level—is the absolute pinnacle of godliness, above and beyond, in the eyes of countless beings. 😜
Because, you see, the one who awakens a "normal" S rank is treated like the blessed son of the heavens 🙏, a real powerhouse in their world. The probability of even getting an S rank? One in ten million. 😱
(Do you get it now? 😂 I'm not like those other "shitty" writers... okay, fine, let's just appreciate my genius work for a second, darlings. 😎)
**In this world, you can conquer planets 🌍, stars 🌟, galaxies 🌌, nebulae clusters 🌠—heck, maybe even whole universes 🌐, if you're lucky. But hey, don't get your hopes up, because there's no record of anyone conquering a multiverse yet 😅... **
I mean, thousands of billions of years of history, and not even one complete universe has been conquered. 😒 But who knows, we might just figure it out in the future. Let's leave that for our jerkmate to puzzle over, shall we? 😂
And thus, the Lords have acquired talents ranked from the humblest of beginnings, starting at G rank, all the way up to the esteemed SSS rank:
[G•F∆•E∆•D∆•C∆•B∆•A∆•S∆•SS∆•SSS]
Now, the might of their military arms, their very power itself, is classified into 11 regal levels—each more impressive than the last, but with the most refined and distinguished of distinctions:
1. Trash Level (Can fluctuate from 1 per second to 100 per second—let's be honest, you don't want to know what that looks like 💩)
2. Normal Level (5 per hour—barely enough to make a difference, but hey, it's a start!)
——————————
3. Super Level (3 per day—alright, we're getting somewhere 🔥)
4. Noble Level (2 per week—look at you, aristocrat! 👑)
5. Commander Level (5 per month—commanding the masses like a true leader 💥)
——————————
6. King Level (2 per month—royalty at its finest, ready to rule the world 🌍)
7. Saint Level (Top Legendary) (10 per year—achieving sainthood, no biggie ✨)
8. Legendary Level (1 per year—wait, a Legend? Oh yeah, this is it! 🔥)
9. Mythological Level (1 per two years—welcome to the pantheon of gods 😇)
10. Divine Level (1 per five years—truly divine power, blessed by the heavens 💫)
11. Mahathma Level (1 per decade—behold, the ultimate pinnacle of power, unparalleled and sacred 🙌)
Now, let's put this into perspective: Even with a century of average luck 🍀, most Lords would be lucky to even hear of, let alone face, those at the Legendary Level. But fear not, for what may exist beyond these.
the true might of these Lords lies not only in their own ranks but in the power of the subjects they command.
These three subjects—beings of unimaginable power—can each rule an entire world all on their own. One Lord, one subject, and the world is theirs. Imagine the sheer magnitude of influence...😮🤯
A world ruled by such divine might? We're talking top-tier, pure luxury here, folks—truly fit for the gods. 💎👑
Ah, yes... welcome to the boundless levels that span across everything from your humble soldiers to the grandest of civilizations. A place where numbers aren't just numbers, but the very essence of existence.
For example, let's talk about a normal French swordsman... a level-1 soldier. No, not the knight of your dreams, but just a regular ol' guy who swings a sword. Here's what he looks like in the system:
Troop:
A French Swordsman
Strength = 2.5 💪
Agility = 3 🏃
Dexterity = 4 ⚔️
Combat = 3 🥊
Defense = 1.95 🛡️
Coordination = 2.75 🎯
Health = 230 (average: 200, but don't you dare think you'll know the exact number without a special talent for it. Only trained soldiers or tech can guess it. Don't ask the guy next to you either.)
IQ = 2.15 🧠
Intelligence = 0.5 (We're talking magic, soul, Kai, Kami, haki, mana… all that fun stuff. Or none of it, depending on your vibe.)
Vitality = 3 ⚡
Loyalty = 2.5 🦸♂️
Cognitive = 2.1 🧠
Independence = 1.7 (After all, they're soldiers. They do what they're told. This is not a "free thinker" situation here. 😑)
So, what we have here is your standard level-1 soldier, living his best life. Not magical, just a dude with a sword. But… wait for it… once he hits level-2, everything changes. Magic enters his life like an unexpected visit from your favorite anime character. 🪄
The magic? Oh, it's unbelievably hard to unlock unless you've got a Lord with some serious secret sauce up their sleeve. And not the kind of sauce you're thinking about. 👀 (No, it's not a French female swordswoman's panties. Stop it. 😑)
But, as you can imagine… it gets harder the higher you go. As the levels increase, so does the difficulty.
Here's the breakdown of these prestigious levels (because we're all about precision and complexity in this universe 🧑🔬):
Level 1 = Can't even call it "level" just yet. It's more of a… "basic existence" kind of thing.
Level 2 = Magic evolves. "You've got the magic in you" 🎶
Level 3 = Tech enters the chat 💻
Level 4 = Fictional beasts! No, we're not talking about your average house cat. These things will eat you alive. 🐉
Level 5 = You're dealing with fictional characters and their items—stuff like Excalibur, lightsabers, or… whatever you think you want. ⚔️🦸♀️
Level 6 = Fictional groups and organizations—yes, we're talking factions, alliances, and legendary teams like the Avengers or X-Men (just… no crazy mutant powers. Please? 😂)
Level 7 = Welcome to the fictional god level—where mere mortals fear to tread. ⚡
But wait! There's more. Each of these levels has 50 stages. And don't even think about skipping them, because if you do, you're like the kid who tried to skip math class. You're gonna fail miserably. 😅
And for those of you thinking, "Hey, it's easy to reach the top, right?"
Let me break it down for you in the most poetic way:
"Unless you grind your ass to the bone, break it into shards of glass, and walk barefoot through a forest of thorns, you'll never see the top." 🌿✊
And don't forget—if you're truly determined, you'll get a magical ride of a lifetime. But if not, well… there's always room for another French swordsman at level 1. Don't worry, we've got tons of them. 😂
So, prepare yourself. This universe is full of surprises... and levels... and pain. Mostly pain. 😈 But at least you'll have a good time laughing at your failures while climbing to godhood. Enjoy the journey, dear reader. It's a bumpy one. 🎢
