'I never thought I would find a natural monster without even looking for one.' Erebus thought with a bright smile.
'I believe his natural talent is among the best dark element talent I have seen in any mortal, but his elemental physique is even more surprising.'
'If fate hadn't guided him to me, then awakening his physique would have taken much longer, making him lose on so many early benefits he could receive from his physique.'
'The elemental physique, this lad has at least the potential to reach the Third transcend Rank, and with his physique and talent, he can reach the level of strength most geniuses could never dream about.'
'This lad has the potential to achieve great strength, but will he do the hard work needed to use the full potential of his natural gifs?' Erebus thought as he looked toward Alex.
'It would be a waste of his talent to give him anything less than the best guidance, and luckily for him, I am the best of the dark element user this world has to offer.' Erebus thought as he manipulated darkness to lay Alex down.
'The lad will take some time to regain his conciseness as his physique is still in its final stage of awakening.' Erebus thought as he looked toward Alex, who now had long hair with a slight change to his appearance.
'I can use this time to make the best version of my inheritance that could give him proper guidance and help him use the full potential of his natural gifts.' Erebus thought as he vanished from his place and appeared on his majestic throne.
While Alex peacefully slept, his avatar was going through various changes with every passing moment.
'The lad was walking the path of a magic warrior, so selecting the path with the sound combination of strength and magic would be a fitting inheritance for him.' Erebus thought.
'The legacy path I am about to create for this lad would be very challenging, but if he wants something great, he needs to prove his worthiness.'
'I won't be a hash teacher and leave an easy path to gain strength, but if he could walk the challenging path, he would become a real monster on the same strength level.'
'I hope he chooses the hard path for every Rank promotion and does not waste his talent by taking the easy route, but I can only give him an opportunity because, in the end, it would be his decision that would make him a moderate or a great individual.' Erebus thought after determining the legacy he wanted to give to Alex.
'Let's start the work.' Erebus thought with complete focus as he started the creation of a custom-made legacy for Alex.
-------------
'I don't feel any pain or stiffness, and the darkness covering me is also gone.' Alex thought as he regained consciousness.
Alex woke up from his slumber after four hours, and in that time, his body and appearance got changed significantly.'I wonder how much time has passed since I lost consciousness?' Alex thought as he stood and looked around to locate Erebus.
"You have been sleeping for four hours, but more importantly, you should get comfortable with your new body," Erebus said as he snapped his fingers, and a mirror made from darkness appeared in front of Alex.
'What the hell happened when I was unconscious?' Alex thought, looking at his changed appearance and body.
Alex's new appearance was the same as before but a little more refined, but his height went from 6.2 to 6.6 feet.
'My height has increased, but what about the muscles?' Alex thought as he quickly removed his armor and clothes, only leaving the underwear.
'What did Erebus do to make me gain such a chiseled physique in four hours?' Alex questioned as he looked at his muscular body that looked like it belonged to a full-time bodybuilder.
"The changes to your body have happened because you have awakened an elemental physique," Erebus said as he appeared in front of Alex with a bright smile.
'I awakened an elemental physique?' Alex thought with a surprised look, and the first thing he did was open his stats window to check the changes.

'I want to know what kind of physique I awakened and the abilities it could give me, but the system will take time to tell me any information about it, which is very disappointing.' Alex thought, seeing the system notifications.
'Erebus is a strong person with a lot of knowledge, so maybe he could give me some information about my physique.' Alex thought with an excited smile.
"Sir Erebus, could you please give some information and guidance about my elemental physique." Alex requested while still standing half naked.
"I understand you want to know about your elemental physique, but I will only give you the basic information about it because knowing too much could do more harm than good," Erebus replied.
"All Elemental Physiques are divided into three categories [Rare, Epic, Legendary], and each category is divided into [ Lesser, Superior, and Greater] Grades."
"There is also a higher category of Physiques that mortals called as Mythical, and as you can guess, your physique is of the Mythical category with the potential to reach the First Transcend Rank," Erebus said, mixing lies with the truth.
'If I tell him the real potential of his physique, he would probably get cocky with meaningless pride and waste his natural potential but giving him some false information would save him from mortal foolishness.' Erebus thought.
'I only know of a few players who had an elemental physique, and each one of them was a monster with unique abilities gained from their physiques.' Alex thought, remembering the broken abilities of every physique holder.
'I wonder what kind of broken abilities I will gain from my Mythical physique.' Alex thought with a foolish smile on his face.
Alex didn't have much information about elemental physique, but what he knew was good enough to make him delighted at his good fortune.
"You do know that every physique grows with its holder, and the higher potential a physique has, the more demanding the condition would be to make it reach its full potential," Erebus said, seeing Alex smiling like an idiot.
"If you advance through Ranks by just fulfilling the basic conditions, your physique will never reach its full potential, and there is also a guaranteed chance that you wouldn't even be able to use the abilities given by your physique."
"I never plan to settle for anything less than the best," Alex replied with a smile.
'It's time I grant this kid with my legacy and send him on his way.' Erebus thought as he looked at Alex's confident eyes.
"it's time for you to receive my legacy and start your adventurers," Erebus said.
'I waited for this moment for a very long time.' Alex thought with anticipation.
"The next time you open your eyes, it will be in Malefis Domain, so good luck in your future adventurers, and congratulations on becoming the Ruler of Malefis Domain," Erebus said as he touched Alex's forehead, instantly making him unconscious.
'I wonder if he plans to sit on the Ruler's throne in his underwear.' Erebus thought as he controlled the darkness to sports Alex's unconscious body from falling.
'Let's complete the final step.' Erebus thought as he placed his index finger on Alex's forehead, and instantly ancient symbol made from pitch darkness started to appear.
The ancient symbols didn't stay on Alex's forehead but instantly vanished inside it, and after a few minutes and thousand of symbols, Erebus removed his finger while having a satisfied smile.
"Lad, Don't disappoint me," Erebus said as he waved his hand, and a small magic circle appeared under Alex's feet, and after a few seconds, Alex was teleported to his next destination.
-----------------
A portal opened a few meters in front of a majestic-looking throne in a massive throne room, and after the dark portal vanished, it left an unconscious man only wearing underwear.
Alex was peacefully sleeping when his head started ringing with multiple systems notifications, rudely waking him up.
'I am in the Malefis Domain.' Alex thought after seeing a majestic throne in front of him.
'This looks like a Throne Room, and this place is hand down the most magnificent place I have seen in both of my lives.' Alex thought as he admired the beauty of the massive throne room.
The throne room was massive, with a wide empty area leading directly to the throne, and there were two lines of giant elaborately decorated pillars with six pillars on each side, and in front of each pillar, a backfill chair was placed, with each chair being different from the other.
The best thing about the throne room, besides the throne itself, was the ceiling with a massive breathing-taking battel seen carved on it.
"Mortal, Do you plan to take the Ruler's trial in this clothing?" A heavy male voice came from Alex's right side.
