《Undying Phantasia》 1 A day from one of life’s mysterious soul….. In an obscure and dark world, with illuminating walls similar to those of a blue bio-luminescent glow worms -which produce light naturally until their deaths. Crystals mirroring colossal wood stakes, and accompanying little crystals as little brothers. A silhouette was standing in the entrance of the cave, the light was dim and dark as if it never had an end, from the entrance, you could not see the outside clearly. Slowly, the figure entered the cave and saw another silhouette in the left of the cave in his view. The said silhouette looked dark and purple in color, maybe because of the flame-like aura of the same color emitting from him, it covered his whole body. He was sitting in the floor, similar to those people who sit against the tree''s wall, instead, on a dark and grey wall, with calmness. His face was blurry, but you can see a circle of a red color in the head of the silhouette as he lifted his head to look at the standing figure before him; probably his eye, emitting a fire-like aura similar to smoke coming out of that deep red eye of his, since he only looked from his right side, with the leg forming a triangle covering most of his body from the other figure''s view and an arm on top of the leg also covering his mouth, only showing the upper part of the head. In the other hand the standing figure had a green glow with a very deep green color, very dark and dark smoke-like aura emitting at the same time, this made up his whole humanoid shape like the other silhouette. His face was oval shaped and blurry because of the green fire-like energy similar to flame covering it just like his other counter-part, he was at least 6 foot tall muscular-like and his energy surrounded him like bandages in his arm and legs until the knees, where now it was all like a armor very thin but strong, like knights from the medieval ages, however, more like the lower part was similar to samurai''s leg cloaks. "Did the plan go as planned?" asked the silhouette from the cave, it seemed through telepathy or so it seems since in there is not even a single sound which came out that even if a niddle fell the sound could be heard from it. "I suppose so..." responded the other figure calmly. "What is the result of the Great War?" asked the person in the cave. "What do you think?" asked rhetorically the standing figure. "Hehe....so that''s how it is?..Hmp! I was prepared, that if, all goes well." said the figure in the cave in confidence. "We might be able to do the revival now" The greenish figure suggested with indifference. "We will see that later, but now leave me alone for some time, I will come after a while" Responded the figure in the cave in deep ponder. "I see...hope you do" Responded the figure standing before disappearing in the blink of an eye. "I shall dig further than.... Hell...or maybe reach above the heavens...because I know that there is no absolute evil or good. I will find the truth and find the source of the ''unbalance'', that is, after the revival..." His words resonated as a whisper in the cave thought the furthest of holes and entrances. To you and your people 1,000,000 years later In a sunny day in summer''s sun shine we find two boys in the roof of a building or should we say school.... "So Apolion you think we will be safe here?" Asked one of the boys with insecurity in his voice. He had blonde hair, green eyes, and had a blazer with a sign of their school in the left breast like any other student. He seems to have handsome qualities like a upside down peak in the face and sharp yet calm like eyebrows with a crystal eye. "Etto I don''t think so but...it was your idea in the first place!!" Responded the so called Apolion in a panic. He likes fictional stories and animations, specially, from Japan and USA, just like his geek friend in his left, that''s why, the strange words he speaks sometimes which adds to his calm, cold and happy prideful personality with empathy, hilarious and comical ingredients as special qualities. He seemed handsome at some level too; with a slim face and light brown skin and brown eyes. A teen of 15 years old like his friend as well. Wearing, as expected, his uniform. Located in The United Kingdom of Great Britain, London, Imperial high school of the Kingdoms of Britain. As the boys were chatting about their everyday life and the POSSIBLE danger they might face if found out in the roof, since it was...let''s say FORBIDDEN, someone. Suddenly came... EEK!, The door from the from behind the boys which was red in color and a metallic highlight to it opened itself as if it suggested their end was coming. The boys slowly turned around, very calmly, very slowly as if they understood they would be executed finally after their time of waiting in the jail room... "Don''t worry guys it''s me!" said the voice behind the door, with a feminine and very energetic too, you can tell by the tone alone. "FEEEEWWWWW" They both simultaneously did a sigh of relief. "So, Elizabeth why did you even come here? you almost gave us the scare of our life!" Said Apolion perplexed. " Oh, just came here to deliver this to him" Elizabeth took responded calmly. She was of the same color of hair than his other friend, the difference is the dark blue eyes she had. She had a blazer just like the other two and a skirt of red and white lines vertically surrounding it. A pair of black tight socks reaching the knee, black shoes with a mini-ribbon in both of them. However, oddly enough she also has a ribbon tied to the ponytail which instead of being in the back is on the left side of their-Apolion and his friends-view. She is both beautiful and cute looking innocent. But it seems her personality contrast a little with her appearance. The ''delivery'' was actually his friend''s notebook or so it seems. This is because of his name being present in there and the notebook is very similar to school ones. "Ah, my bad" responded Apolion''s friend. "Be careful next time Daniel" responded Apolion. "Naturally" Responded immediately afterwards, his so-called friend Daniel. Afterwards he went to Elizabeth, just as he was about to take the notebook from her hand.... "Okay now what?" Asked Daniel as she hid it behind her back immediately. "How about a reward?" Asked Elizabeth expectantly with puppy eyes. "Okay, okay what''s the deal?" Reacted Daniel with confusion. "How about you go and declare your love to that girl?" Said Elizabeth with a hint of playfulness. "Are you mad? She is the number one beauty and I don''t even know her that well, we are not even acquaintances and why do you think I love her in the first place?" Asked Daniel very tense and having a weird expressing which suggested his uncomfortable situation he is now. "Just a joke, okay?! It''s not like I can see you getting rejected very badly" said Elizabeth a bit angry that he could not tolerate a simple teasing. "Well how is that REWARD" said Apolion from the background, who seemed to be forgotten to Elizabeth. "It is fun to watch him do that...Hehe" Responded Elizabeth playfully. *Sigh*.... ''''Always the same Liza. You are one cruel creature'''' Said Apolion with her nickname that he himself gave her from childhood. "Hmp! it''s not like I am that cruel. I am cute and innocent with a very noble heart." Responded Elizabeth innocently as if she was wronged criminal. "Noble and innocent? Your sister!" Interjected Apolion annoyed. "I don''t have any...." Responded Elizabeth casually. "Hello? What about to me?! And what will happen to my notebook?!" Interrupted Daniel as if he was lost. "Just give it back already Liza it''s not like it has interesting things in it or yes...?" Suggested Apolion with matter-of-fact tone. "Here, here.... Next time don''t forget it in the school''s desk''s underneath it, ok?" said Elizabeth to Daniel in a sly manner. "Yeah, I will be careful" said Daniel apologetically. "The time has come I guess" said Apolion indifferently. "Seriously, the need of this happening just when we are about to have some fun...." Said Daniel in a sad manner. "That''s how life works...well the ''secret of the cycle of life'' might be mysterious sometimes" Responded Apolion realizing he spit something he shouldn''t. "What secret of the cycle of life?" Said both simultaneously in curiosity in their eyes.-Daniel and Elizabeth. "Nothing, just that I watch too much anime don''t mind me..." Responded Apolion with calmness. "I don''t believe you man. I have watched not even a single anime (fictional animations from japan) who had that name" said Daniel with suspicion that he was hiding something just by intuition. "Alright you caught me it was an invention of mine to just simply address life''s mysteries and circumstances. Happy?" responded Apolion nervously and acting as if they caught him with loose hands in the air. ''''But regardless, Daniel, just because you are correct does not mean you are right. There might be some fictional world which might coincidentally have that'''' Apolion highlighted to Daniel as if teaching him the rules of life. "Well, whatever, let''s just hurry up, we have to go to class" Said Elizabeth indifferent as if brushing the topic off the cliff and signaling the time through her hand gestures.. "Yes" Daniel reaffirmed differently. "Mmmhm" Apolion agreed "The bell is ringing" said in a hurried manner- Daniel. The bell suddenly ringed. Tin,Tin,Tin! on and on.... like the sound of church bells but in the form of rock music soundtrack. The students all went in class like a pack, the teachers being the alpha of course. -listening to their callings. So, in class... " So, the topic for today will be..." Said the teacher in the screen of a big white digital board. The topic is just a revision of the electromagnetic waves and radiation (GCSE sciences) according to the teacher. "The day seem to be quite calm now a days or so it seems" Apolion watched, serenely, the sky as he lost in his wonders. "Well i guess it is...?" said Daniel in low voice looking at the window and the teacher at the same time. Trying to keep up with the teacher but also enjoy the wonder of the outside. Everything went on normally, the school also went on normally with their typical routines. In their typical about to go out entrance.... with a reception desk just in the back of the door around 50 meters away, there was chairs in both sides made of metals more specifically steel with a blue fluffy pillow-like cotton to seat... The automatic glass door was closing as Apolion and Daniel made their way out. "So, it seems that I have something to do I forgot. Sorry bro, next time I will hang out lol" said Daniel. "Me too, I am not forcing you as its your life anyway" said Apolion. So, they departed. In the front there was a blank street of blocks of marvel and the grass filling the rest with a door of a mansion or so it is. They somehow didn''t realize that they are going to the same direction at first before departing after they pass the school gates.... Some typical strange phenomenon in society... "That incident of revealing some of my secrets was very close i should keep it as secret and undetected as possible" Thought Apolion as he went home. In home.... "How was school?" Asked Apolion''s mother with white skin, brunette hair with green eyes and an apron in the kitchen while Apolion was eating. She seemed to be in her thirties and still maintained her beauty form the twenties...a straight and clear hair and a very mature face with some sandals oddly enough in a carpet. "Same as always" Responded Apolion with a casual tone eating his eggs and steak with some broccoli and carrot. "Is dad back?" Asked Apolion wondering about his missing dad. "He will be back around in 7 o''clock." said the mom. "I see, very well" said Apolion calmly before expectantly waiting. ''Let''s see what is the deal today father....'' Apolion was thinking what will bring him this time around in the private sessions of father and son. _______________ Mini-World _________________ -Mini figures with big heads and small bodies in cute form are present in this world as a law of this mini world.- Lord Maximus: I did indeed a hard job in creating this story I guess...Although I have to practice for perfection..as perfect practice makes perfect talent and work. Hmp! I shall not stop here...I will go beyond the Heavens ! *I looked at the story one more time before turning my back from the table and looking at the far away valleys through my window* I don''t seem to be alone here...After all...not anymore... You are alive right? ''Of course man..I mean master!'' A voice resounded behind me like a energetic person about to do the best thing in the world. Lord Maximus: Heh..as expected... Welcome to the world..My dear creation... ... Apolion..... To be continued... 2 Memories of the pas "So Apolion what do you think?" said the man. He looked like a muscular but slim in appearance such a physique not too muscular not too slim. He seems seven-foot-tall and has brown light skin but the brown color is still visible. A clear straight black hair, with a very casual pajama of blue color looking very fluffy for its similarity to bath robes and blue eyes. "Let me see, so if i understand properly my great, great, great grandfather found this method somewhere in the Middle East to protect people from those ''negative'' entities and to succeed in life which contradicts the very basic of science?'' said Apolion. "Yep, that''s what it is or so I think..." said the man who now is obviously the father of Apolion. They were in Apolion''s room who had a window in the right side of the front of the bed, a computer in his left side in the middle and a wooden floor with a type of square-like carpet very large but not big enough to cover the floor. It was red in color. "So, there is something called the ''secret of the cycle of life''? and that consist of events happening for a reason as if there is always a cause or effect regardless and nothing is coincidental? it is similar to the Taoist teachings...'' said Apolion. "Exactly, and also there is this method for chasing off evil entities and cause certain people to feel fear or manifest your dreams to reality" said the father before taking out an old book and reading its content. "According to this I have followed suit and i am now successful and rich, so year. But it needs certain requirements such as you need to put your mind and heart together and visualize with your imagination and use some kind of inner force or in the book it says ''inner will'' to manifest, however it also says it won''t manifest unless there is clash so you have to compete with others or have a high level of positive feelings for it as it encourages and feeds that ''inner will'' to succeed." said in a long speech the father. "Hmm..can this be also used to become smart? or have good grades and manifesting a car etc..?''" said Apolion. "Yes, technically anything even your life partner." said the father. "So, what i do to become smart is that i think I am smart and study with intention and positivity and feel the ''Inner will'' surging in the heart like a warm feeling as in extend that to my body?" said Apolion. "Well, here is the book. Just follow suit. And about your mother actually don''t say too much since i pretty much hid it from her ...well technically almost 50% of it..Oh! I have to go on a business meeting bye..." the father hurried and quickly got up from the bed and run away from the room as if not want to speak more about it. ''''Oh yeah, if you are wondering why it doesn''t work on most people ? it is because they don''t do it properly or either have negativity or pursue something which is material but does not give them a meaning in life for example money this does not give any meaning at most it gives you a life of luxury but you will feel empty even if you did it. We all use this unconsciously but don''t feel it-''inner will''- that''s why you see rich people succeed with many riches but that''s because they do it for passion or do it with pure intention for a certain target or goal which most don''t. I have spoken for too much ...bye my son!....said the father before immediately vanishing in the blink of an eye from the door and going down the stairs. "Currently i am 11 years old but probably my father spread this to me since i might have showed some intelligent or prodigious qualities I guess, anyway I will try it!" said the kid version of Apolion. End of the flashback "I came back " said a certain voice in the back. "So, dad what is today''s training?" said Apolion as they hid some stuff from his mother including the dad for ''certain'' reasons. "Well let''s see maybe it''s the end" said the father. "Really?" said Apolion. "Yep" said the dad. The training is just a cover up what they actually do is just share knowledge and sometimes try to use the technique and discover new stuff regarding the books and knowledge. They came from a high-class family from part of the dad and mom from the family name Adalneos and Apolion''s dad was a business man. "Apolion, did you discover something new?" said the dad after his dinner and at night in his room( Apolion''s) "Yep or so I think" said Apolion who wanted to say it after a long time in days. "But as I told you I think we should stop for a while." said the dad. "Okay last one then, actually I theorize that that ''inner will'' is some kind of energy such as the vril or chi in the Asian or some ancient cultures which is the very basic and present in anything in existence and used for many purposes." said Apolion. "I tried it with my hands with the chi work in Asia." demonstrated Apolion as he touches his dad''s hand and it got hot. "Actually, there is something like this?" said the dad "Probably" said Apolion. "We should keep it a secret and move on" said the dad. "Alright" said Apolion. To be continued 3 Hidden forces and powers. "Hey, have you noticed that weird aura and energy?" said a feminine voice behind a fox mask in a Japanese attire in a black cloak in the shadows in a mysterious and shady and dark place supported by pillars. "Indeed" said a man wearing a Western Armor having a cloak and the armor itself looked very slim of a black as dark color. It also seemed Draconic because of the hands and breast showing Dragon scales-like designs. "But the energy seems very weak as well but very strange and it is categorized as a high-level tier energy from the high-level masters...but it comes from a very mortal body and untrained soul" said a mysterious deep voice, unknown from where it came from. They seem to speak another language too.... In another place in a high advanced technological airship in space. Speaking English. "Sir, I have a report after detecting something weird or strange in the United Kingdom" said someone in a high-tech armor, (Author''s note: Similar to Genji''s form Over watch search it in google if you don''t know to get an idea) . "Oh? say it what do you consider ''strange'' " said a voice from the upper sits in the main room with computers in the left and right below where people were working on something and a main sit in the middle where a man with another high tech armor (similar to iron man with no mask) with a cloak was sitting down with a type of hoodie not revealing his face. There is some kind of anomaly of energy detected from our A.L and us and we detected its from the United kingdom but because the energy is low we could not find the track but we do know its similar to a high level tier..." said the person but in a bowing posture . "Interesting, keep on with the work but just check and localize it in case it is dangerous" said the man in the middle. "Yes Sir!" said the person before leaving from the right door across the middle seat. Back with Apolion and his life. "There is this new release of the chapter of that anime you said." said Daniel "Well yep, it did" said Apolion. "By the way do you have any plans for today?" said Elizabeth from behind the class seats. "Nop, but I have something to do" said Apolion. "Well that''s sad...*sigh*" said Elizabeth. "It can''t be helped" said Daniel. _____________ After school..... .... "Well see you later then" said both of them before leaving Apolion alone and departing. "Well its very tiring but I have to work on a new business of my own and become a millionaire of my own...yes!" said Apolion very happy to follow his dreams of being...very rich. Until.... Rum Rum Rum!! "An earthquake?" Apolion gawked before some dark entities in form of shadows and red eyes surrounding him.... No one was there in the middle of this street as this place is an open and calm place before, it had only houses and a park and greener than green trees, there was a car parked in the other side and this side while there was a lake about 40 meters away...where he was now, there were no houses or walls but there was a open park he had millimeters close to him in his feet as he was walking near the park. "What is happening?" said Apolion in a worried way. 4 The meeting and revelation "What''s happening here?" said Apolion confused and terrified. The shadowy creatures were talking something which seemed from another language.The one thing Apolion knew that he had to escape and they emitted bad vibes.So, before even giving the creatures a chance to do something he flew as quickly as possible with his legs from the place. Shooo! He run immediately until the creatures were also running behind him but they seemed to not have legs but have body made up of just a torso ( Author''s note: like a imperfect susanoo with no legs from naruto). The world was stopped,no, more precisely there was no one to help and no one to see. The water oddly was not moving but it was stopped in a motion as if the time itself was stopped while him and the supposed enemies were not. He had to climb a building from roofs to roofs after getting tired of running but oddly they could not climb the walls of a building close to the lake with a grocery shop underneath. "What are this things? it is as if it came from movies or Japanise animes..." said Apolion before realizing another silhouette in the form of an angel with wings made of light but with a half halo contained in yellow vertical lines on it as well but not as long as the lines of the halo two wings which seemed like loose scarfs flying in the air but yellowish and shiny as light (similar to Tyrael from Diablo) The face could not be seen he had a hoodie like clothing on with a mask similar to that or armors (Author''s note: Like the helmet of Imperius but only the lower part from Diablo). He suddenly instantly came and grabbed Apolion by the shoulder and took him up in the sky without no time for Apolion to react in the blink of an eye. Cha! The shadowy creatures used dark-like energy blasts in the sky until it completely vanished in the air with just the movement of the wings of the said ''angel'' which destroyed them like fanning flames. "Look mortal you seem to be quiet different so many of this people will come to you for your ''amina'' and power." said the figure. " What do you mean by ''amina'' " said Apolion not daring to do anything stupid or so he thought as he did not wanted to be dead by the calamity which happens to him just a moment ego. " I will explain to you later but first observe,this creatures are lower rank and easily defeat able if you are in a certain level.You can just reality bend with your thoughts and immediately vanish them like this!" said the figure before snapping his fingers and turning the creatures into ice little by little in 30 seconds with a little hoarse scream that could be heard from below before snapping again and turning them into flames and destroying them into dust. " See? this is what I mean by level but you can reach that as well with practise,however, now you might have lots of questions and I will respond to you tomorrow after school when you go out in this location" said the figure transferring into Apolion''s mind through telepathy the location of a park which he clearly knows. " Another thing the time is stopped as you are in another dimension at the moment withing the same reality or dimension.I know its hard to explain but just wait" said the figure before snapping his fingers which had a gauntlet of an armor-like way just like most part of his body (Athor''s note: Similar to Imperious and Tyrael clothing) and making everything go back to normal and Apolion returned to the same location he was before the said event.... "Wait what? This can''t be....actually...OK forget it let''s go home and think clearly. In home.... "Oh Apolion you look so tired today?" said the mom. "Yeah ,yeah just playing football I will take a shower..bye!" said Apolion before going to this room in a hurry. "Oh! don''t forget to come down for dinner since you never do!" said the mom. After the said events happened such as the shower part and many others... ____ In Apolion''s room.... ...... "Actually there is such things...should I hide this?" said Apolion as he was reflecting in his bed. " No, I should wait a little bit more until tomorrow..." said Apolion before going to sleep... In school....in lunch time.... ....... "Oh we can hang out now I guess?" said Daniel. "Nop but I don''t know when....bro" said Apolion. They were on a bench talking until another boy came to them he had brown skin and straight black hair and brown eyes. "Hey, Apolion what do you think of participating?" said the boy he was one o the friends of Apolion. " Eduardo I can''t participate in the team now Ok...actually I don''t know when or where I could thou, but I will notice you when I can" said Apolion. "Hey, come its about to start" said another boy with light brown hair down in the background. *Sigh* "Well see you later then" said Eduardo before going. "Well what is that thing which is so important bro?" said Daniel. "Sorry I can''t tell but its nothing weird if you know what I mean.." said Apolion. "What if its illegal?" said Daniel. "If it was I would have told you long ego ,since you do like it don''t you?....." said Apolion. Before they both started laughing their hearts out...... "Hey, beauty would you mind going with me for the lunch? I want know you a little..." said random boy with dark brown hair to the said girl. " Daniel is not that the girl you like? the top beauty in the school or so it seems..I don''t think she is thou.." said Apolion. " Heh as if...but I will admit she is a beauty..." said Daniel. "Not interested,now get out of my sight" said the supposed girl.She had flowing red hair,green eyes and the same uniform as any girl but with a clear pale yet a little shades dark skin not much.her face looked mature and pretty at the same time... The girl friends she had along also followed her until..... She looked at Apolion ,as she turned her head for slight 5 seconds,her gaze was strange yet showed interest....but a very strange vibe emitted through it... "What?" said Apolion silently as he also noticed that short gaze of her before she turned around as nothing happened."That way of looking at me is weird and some weird feeling told me it was not normal neither is she ordinary...." said Apolion in his mind." But was she even looking at me or was just my imagination?" said Apolion. "What happened? have you taken interest, when she looked at me and not you? said Daniel in a joking way with a signs of craftiness. " What about you!? look at that dumb face of yours watching like a statue...when she gazed...just so he can get a view pervert.." said Apolion. "What did you say?" said Daniel before laughing with Apolion. After school... "Hey,boys don''t leave me alone." said a certain voice as Apolion and Daniel were walking together for a drink. " Of course I would not forget you Eliza that''s why I brought a drink for you too just in case" said Apolion as he threw it to Elizabeth. " Thank you, you are kind unlike that dumb idiot there.." said Elizabeth. " What did you say!? and besides you only come sometimes so I am not sure anyway and it so happens that luckily Apolion by intuition bought one for you.....and you are the dumb one you don''t even hang out with us everyday." said Daniel. "What!?" said Elizabeth before...they started all three laughing again. " I think we should stop the laughing like idiots like in the movies just look at the strangers thinking we are retarded or something" said Apolion hinting at the public from the shop they were.It was the typical grocery shop of course.And the public found them strange for a second. "Well I think so too" said Daniel. "Mhm" said Elizabeth. After having a chat with them they separated way and departed home. In home... After taking a shower and eating he told his mom he wanted to go out in the park for some frsh air for a day and she allowed him in the condition that he return in dinner and no more than that or there is serious consequences. After going out....to the given location..... It was the Bettersea park in central London. In a place where there were trees painted of pink giving a little Japanese Eastern vibe and mostly green it seems some flowers were still left hanging for a while before fading.They were of course innately dead. There was a road where Apolion was walking ,the trees from right to the left like guardians standing tall ,resisting the the flow of time like an eternity. After a long walk he found someone in a hoodie sitting in a bench with a immense tree close to him giving him a little shade.... "Isn''t the view of this peaceful site created by you humans wonderful..? I am fascinated as well...oh yeah..I have being waiting for you....." said the figure turning around slowly but...his head was not showing fully because of the hoodie but a mouth could be seen of white complexion. "Apolion" said the man... 5 New world "Apolion.." said the figure. " I see, are you the same guy from before?" said Apolion. " No, but I am in charge of taking you to a new world" said the man. " What do you mean ,and are you related to that angel-like guy ? " said Apolion. " Not exactly but we are related in a certain way I came here because of him to bring you somewhere special.Hope you are ready..it might take very long for you to even come out..." said the figure. " Wait what do you mean by I won''t come out that easily?" said Apolion. " You will naturally know later but don''t worry time shall be stopped here and now" said the figure before snapping his fingers and making the whole world turn black and white some colors still present which extended the whole world in the form of a yellow dimming light. "The world has stopped only for us in other words regardless of what time passes it does not exist on our eyes, as the flow of time itself was erased ,its hard to explain, but just relax this process is nessesary" said the man. " How strong are you? to even be able to reality bend?" said Apolion. "Well I can reality bend just like anyone, but it depends on the concentration ''Vrilin'' in you and the power of that said amount but if you wanna know how strong I am the rough estimate is that I can destroy this whole world with my whole strength" said the man. " Wait you mean anyone can do that?" said Apolion. " Yes and even a mortal like you, and we do this unconsiously of course in a lowed level scale because of the low vrilin." said the man. This therefore, triggered something on Apolion " so whatever my father was real and what i have doing all along was not my imagination or any placebo effect or coincidence but a actual truth..." said Apolion in his mind." Also that energy that I discovered last time, was it that vrilin?" said Apolion once more in his mind. "Excuse me can I ask a question?" said Apolion with curiosity and nervousness on his face. " Yes, I have all the time in the world but I can''t answer here and sadly enough i will not be able to answer everything but luckily someone over there might help you.However, I shall accept this as last question before we depart don''t worry you will be back in the same place again." said the man. " Actually, in regards to the vrilin is it felt in the heart and belly?" said Apolion as he also felt in the belly a few days ego but in high amounts. The man became startled for a second. "Where did you get that knowledge from? you knew about this or was it him who explained it to you?" said the man very curious and doubting what his ear even heard. " I discovered this on my own.." said Apolion telling only half of the truth while hiding the rest of the things ,so it was not a lie, in case he was detected lying and hiding some things were not a lie.So he developed this counter measure. " Hahaha, very interesting very interesting the boy that idiot picked up is not bad." said the man very happy and also laughing like a maniac from those horror films... " Very well, it indeed is felt there the belly normally is the part were it had most concentration and then it goes in your heart and spread through the whole body that''s why the high power of magnetic field even higher than the brain, not with just biology alone.Also you have use emotions which might increase or decrease the energy since emotions are energy and come from vrilin itself, it has another source, which are the thoughts that create the feelings, depending on the interpretation of the thoughts you have specific feelings and thoughts are energy and formed by the infinite amount of energy a consciousness has." said the man in a basic and in a tone of ''it''s a matter of fact'' way. " I see by the way let me think if I should go..by trusting you..." said Apolion. " Let''s not waste time . Oh! hold on, it''s stopped...I mean let''s hurry up since I am getting bored here." said the man before creating a image in the ground with Apolion in similar to a magic-like symbol from animes and fictional stories and comics Apolion watched and readed.It was about to activate. " Hold on! you said I can come back am I right?! besides I thought of it! I refuse! you heard me!!! I refuse!!" said Apolion. " OOoops! I forgot to tell you it depends on your ability to do so...and sorry I did not hear that! " said the man before immediately vanishing before Apolion leaving him there unable to move as if he was frozen. " Damn it!...could this also be my final time seeing this world ? The place where I grew up and the place where I have many things left to do yet before dying? But I will take a little time to say something...." said Apolion unable to move in a trance-like state thinking in his thouhts chaotically. " I shall try to come back with the best of my abilities I promise to everyone one day before you even die....!!! I can''t promise anything but....." said Apolion in his most serious tone and screaming like never before until he vanished from this world..... In the country of "The Azure kingdoms Union" there was a mountain where there was a cherry blossoms, a lonely tree watching in the far away valley in the peak of all,with waterfalls running down for an eternity...There was a the man in angelic form....sitting in a lotus-like form with a flute in his hands close to his face which could not be seen because of the type of hood from the back view,The tone and music played upon was very soothing and calm.....until..... A portal opened from nowhere with a spiral and green in color with everything else white. "Aaaah!" said Apolion before appearing close to the tree in the right behind the man. " I have being waiting for you... Yoh.....it''s me from before.." said the man he had the same clothing as he did before but with no wings this time.But a halo could be seen but it was still the same. Apolion got up from the ground in a little hurt.Everything seem normal after that comical entry to the new world from nowhere.He fell like those anime times with face in the ground straight with a hit... "So it''s you again.....you better explain me all this and why are you using slang? Aren''t you a divine-like being?...!!!" said Apolion demanding him to respond since he was taken without any permission asked and no chance of refusal. "Calm down first, I will explain okay? And also, I use slang because i thought you humans of young age would better understand it.But forget about it." said the man with crystal clear clamness like the wind. "And by the way call me Thariel.I know it seems fancy and angelic but its a name I named myself for anyone who wanna know me..its not my real name but stick with it, I am known like that" said the now Thariel. "Whatever, now explain...otherwise, I might get paranoid." said Apolion in a more calm tone, after calming himself a little and looking at him as if he is questioning at a criminal. "Don''t be in such a hurry, I have to explain to you the way you can get out of this world and what you need to survive and what this world is about and etc...such as geography you get me..?" said Thariel. "Okay,then go on.." said Apolion with indifference. "Okay so this world is.... To be continued.... 6 Beginning of a New adventure So Thariel narrated a long monologues and speeches and talks of the sorts about this world to him. Apparently,this world was called Neirol by them.It has 6 continents and each have their countries and empires with their respective cultures and languages however there is a main language all speak and its universal pretty much like English and its spoken in various nations in majority like for example the USA speaking English with a different accent o words. They were located in the highest waterfall mountain very famous for its mysterious history and a place to go on tourists.It had medieval level technology,however,to tackle this problem they had high amounts of magic,in other words a magical world. Then he said that in this country there is a monarchy a powerful one at that and there is various dukedoms who help the king govern the country,they were just below the king, and its in similar structure to Anglo-Saxon England but different in some aspects. "So, its similar to going to other world fictional stories?" said Apolion. "I don''t know what you mean by your ''fiction'' but indeed you are in another world" said Thariel. "And now explain ...Why am I here!?" asked Apolion screaming like an angry child. "Calm down...the reason why you are here is because.." Thariel responded him in a long monologue to explain it to him. He was here because the Earth was in danger to fall under attack of another race of evil entities who might try to take over it by force,however,the Earth is in a process to be conquered by the other races inter-dimensional or physical or astral or non-physical of any aspect. This is through the governmental control and disguise through the systems.This was done for hundreds of years with success but resistance was an issue for them ,as there was many, even up to day,however, not enough to stop them and they will achieve world domination to extract the souls of humans for food or either feed from them through their energy which are negative ones. They were here ..since the Earth was one of the many in the universe with weaker beings with great potential to become an intergalactic race so to eliminate them rapidly and to find a strategic location as Earth is located close to the portal to another universe and with the added disguise from other planets etc..Also humans were unique like many races to have high amounts of power and energy to feed ;a perfect planet for them to govern. They did not make themselves known as other races might fight for it, as well as also some races might interfere to side with humans for sympathy or for other cases or whatever reason to side with humans. Earth was a special case and beings from other planets or planes would be send for help to the humans normally like any other,however, since it is a special case because of certain reasons.He is not allowed to talk about it until they powered up in this world.So ,the humans have to do it themselves with certain types of aids that will be given.-Defeat those beings- He is a member of the ''Great order of the Divine Twilight'' as well as its leader a powerhouse withing this galaxy to establish order within the planets and balance.Other races are allowed to join, as one day they hope they could make the whole galaxy one, like other powerhouses did and create an empire but without an evil cause or negative intentions.They were making order and ruling over because it was commanded by a higher power which governs them''The Divine Heavenly realm of the The Great Arslen'' is possess and watches over The virgo super-cluster in this universe.Its power is unimaginable and this galaxy is less than even a drop of water in a giant sea.They communicate with a single messages passed down from Eons in the blink of an eye to between galaxies.But they were powers governed by the 7 heavens.This is just a tiny power. The Earth was the birth of some great beings on the cluster.The mysteries of the Earth will be unveiled after destroying the dangers on Earth. There is planes and realms within the same universe and its bigger than he thought it was.This is one governed by them and it is in danger so they promised this world to send help through individuals from other worlds.But they can''t interfere directly. Everyone, has to go through their own developments on their own and find their own paths regardless of the hardships or injustices,but when help is needed in extreme cases they will do it and personally sometimes but very rarely happens in planets and planes or realms. "So you came here because you have to temper yourself for a possible war and help humanity with learned skills and if you want you can share your knowledge in their world as well" said Thariel. "Also Gods and Angels and etc..exist and I am one of them and we did influence the Earth in some point.That''s why we are there in your writings in mythology" said Thariel. "So,apart from that..let me guess I am one of those chosen ones because of my energy or some kind of strange talent or something like that? I don''t know if you understand" said Apolion digesting everything Thariel just said. " Yes..but I will keep the details a secret for now..until you finish your mission...but you are not the only one as you had expect and more people will come here as well, you shall be a team of 13 with different qualities and skills..so far you are the first one..so now I will lend you a power but the power shall choose you depending on your feelings and will or what suits you or your soul etc...many things I have no time to explain. And a symbol will appear somewhere in your body and it has a unique design and the people will notice you are one of the 13 people we prophesied but you can hide it as well the symbols are unique to each individual but recognizable that you are one of the 13 by a certain similarity you will discover when you meet your companion.." said Thariel in another long monologue. "Okay okay, give me a break..so let me see what are the options? and besides will they all appear here?" said Apolion. "Not necessarily ,some might appear in different continents or countries and here we goo chose now...dear chosen one.." said Thariel in a tone similar to a grand master giving something to his disciple like those Eastern movies back on Earth. He extended his arm and a circle appeared dark in one side and light in one side forming a yin yang symbol, there was light orbs were circling the symbol with different colors 13 in number. "Now extend your hand.." said Apolion. As Apolion extended his hand in the symbol which lowered down..a reaction happened..a orb in the color of multiple colors and of a dark yet light at the same time, reacted..... Shoooooosh! the orb went flying directly inside Apolion. ''This- 7 The power and the mission. This power...I feel its flowing through me..." said Apolion as his body felt lighter and stronger with more stamina.So far no changes have being made.He felt a little calm as an emotional change. "Well indeed you match for this power" said Thariel calmly looking at him as if he was an statue. "What exactly is this power and how does it work" said Apolion perplexed. " Well it has to do with light and the stars,however,this power is also unique in a sense that it makes the union of darkness and light possible more easily and no backlashes as well as able to change your physiology more easily like metamorphosis -a transformation and gain certain abilities or even combine them.Quiet impressive as a power isn''t it?." said Thairel with hint of confidence in his tone. " Well can''t you.." before finishing the line from Apolion''s mouth Thariel interrupted . "I can''t go into specifics go discover it yourself...even thou you have 99% of chances dying.." responded Thariel with indifference. " Ehh? are you mad?!! why would you bring me here?! to die?!" said Apolion panicking and angry with a loud voice. "No you idiot! Nothing is fake there is no reason murder you! We have lives to take care of. And, thou.. you have high chances of dying, we put emergency backup when that happens so you can survive well only be triggered 3 times and so if you die after this.... sorry you became a failure and we have to send you back to earth with all your memories wiped and in the same place you were in the same timeline, don''t ask me how and by the way don''t worry you will be back after spending years here or the time needed till you finish the mission, to Earth in the same time you left as if nothing has happened." said Thariel. " However, if you failed you must be humiliated that even thou you were chosen you have to have send back again and chose another and you won''t accept that are you? added Thariel in a serious tone. "I know that saving the world is a privilege other don''t have but there is high risks because of it." Apolion got serious with a smile. " Indeed a humiliation I can''t wash away, so let me do what i have to do.Go on, tell me what I have to do after all saving the world sounds a great responsibility and since I was chosen I should be grateful." demanded and remarked Apolion as serious as ever. " That''s the spirit!" said Thariel very happy and confidently. " So your job is to defeat the group called "Holders" .They are an elite group hidden behind the powers of many countries, they want world domination and make this world nothing else but a place to pleasure themselves solely for them alone with the cost of making others suffer.By pleasure I mean they feed on peoples negative energy and want world domination according to the data so far. Their true goals are unclear, so I need you to investigate and eliminate them with your companion or you can do it alone if you are skilled but I recommend go in a group as you don''t know what will happen." said Thariel giving Apolion the main missions with a serious tone and clearly. Also there is this other named ''Satkhalsha'' meaning ,burning dark fire in the ancient languages of this world.He is a danger to humanity and the other races here as he is attacking them without discrimination in hopes to achieve a world domination to posses resouces and people to get stronger and conquer other lands and he believes that with a united strong leader the world will progress.His ideology is twisted as he wanted to unite everybody and do immoral acts or break some ethical codes of this world saying its fine and he has no mercy on anyone who he comes across. I want you to slay him with the other and bring his soul to us or send him in our realm.Also remember he is not human or of any other races seen here before" added Thariel in along monologue who has no end or so it seems with calmness as water. "Don''t tell me i have to fight with a similar character to the demon king like in Japanese animes.." said Apolion with a sigh and depressed state he seems disappointed. "Well life is life so just get on your things in the place down there I left for you, also I get this thing which is red in colour and it looks like a small cube.There i left the languages of this world which will naturally get you knowledgeable instantly through a transfer in your soul and give you a map of the world as well" said Thariel as he pointed at the little gigantic box almost the size of an elephant near the forest which has being cleared a little for it. "Also you might die anyway I have to go and the rest in up to you and also to recognize the other 12 individuals you will naturally know as you will feel a connection that will leave you perplexed..its a hard feeling to understand but you will know.And something special might happen who knows...? " said Thariel in a hurry and leaving instantly in a flash of light. "Like seriously....I am here in this valley...with a rather strange forest down there and a little village i see far away from here..all alone. and high chances of dying ,probably because of monsters or creatures down there i never knew about...Seriously???!!!!!!!!" said Apolion in a rage. 8 Training As Apolion got his farewell from Thariel; he went down the hill. The walking took an eternity as he was closely watching the forest and aiming for that ''cube''. However,he saw something strange.Something out of the picture. An ancient city in ruins could be found or so it looked liked.Abandoned rocks lay there beside trees like friends-unmoving. Roots of the greenish plants surrounded the old rocks with its trapping tentacles. It wasn''t far so only a glimpse could be viewed.He knew he had to come down before dawn. It was dangerous as anything could happen and he might die and the three lives granted to him might be shaken to only one or two.Although he was unsure if this affected him if he died by starvation for example or other ways which didn''t involve a third party. As he got down the dead stairs of the valley he found a small path leading to ,perhaps, the city where his necessity was located. He walked by the sky ,it is clear; everything is oddly silent. As he was walking trees upon trees -other gigantic while, others in the size of a baby. A small waterfall and river withing a ants nest was passing by.However is was nothing to him but beautiful too look at.Smaller in size but macro in size to the ants.The city''s entrance could be seen. He walked first to the cube next to the entrance with to half broken pillars of smashed stones.-left. It was an actual cube -red in colour.A small door with human size could be seen wooden as well giving vibes of carelessness to the surroundings as if it was the safest place. "Ehh?" frowned Apolion as the room was empty with a bag int he middle and big similar to those of survival. ------------- "So, in other words, the closest village is 100 miles away and I have to train here to develop my powers with the mechanical trainer robot here if i am correct." spoke Apolion as he was reading the book inside the bag after inspection.He was holding a pill similar to a tablet''s size. "Hmmm let me see so it''s like.." curiously said Apolion followed by throwing his pill in the ground only to be greeted by... A humanoid figure was forming- black in colour, 7 foot in size, it''s body had highlights of blue all over ; glows like stars with the darkness of space.its eyes shined with blue glows. *Visual aid* its like anti-spiral from anime called, tengen toppa guren laggan,combined with the black armour of iron man with no machine gun this time. "Waah..bro this is cool" thought Apolion as he looked at the unmoving figure.It had instrunctions to follow for its use-it was your partner for training only and he had a command remote device on his hand like a small phone. "So let''s try it later;according to the book the food is near" thought Apolion as he walked out of the cube to recollect food for survival. He walked accordingly and found a tree-through the given map as extra in the book.Located in the middle of a river 500 meters away with food-a strange fruit with seem healthy to it. This fruit is called ''Gales'' and looked like bananas but blue instead- with pimples all around it. "I see,I got a water,food and shelter and bed for support for 2 years it seems the resources in the bag are exaggerated.They must have planned it beforehand.It is impressive how they can store the resources is microscopic devices." Thought Apolion as he was collecting food. He then, came back.And started reading again.This went on for the whole day until he finally slept to get all the information as much as possible. Passing the night peacefully inside the cube through a comfortable bed out of one of those tablets.His plan was to train before going to the city next to him. In the next day... "Okay so this are the skills and powers i must learn." said Apolion before concentrically start reading after recollecting food once again in the day. "Luckyly I have a clock included" blurted Apolion and smirked.He had a handwatch included with the time here on the planet. He then reached out for a scroll in the bag. There was many laws in the universes and each laws can give you skills.One of the most known but only known to few is called "Heavenly omni-fire law technique" this technique can''t be inherited ,however,it happens in the rarest of the rarest cases less than 0.5% according to the book written by the organization he now was a member of.This technique ,however,is also a hybrid between a law and a actual technique int he universe there is only seven according to further readings. It is not even mastered neither reached half of the technique''s power by 80% of the people who practice this in the upper realms where the organization lived.It will disappear within 2 years to protect the information by burning itself so none can know about it.They,organization, were confident no one will know even if they had the scroll as it had the language English but not this world''s languages as it told Apolion along the book he was reading. It was skill in full detail given to him in the scroll he was holding at the moment -according to the book. "Hmmm interesting! let''s practice it!" screamed Apolion exitedly as he knew there were five more scrolls down the bag but he chose that one as the book said to choose one at first.He thought fire was useful already. After reading all the scroll he memorized all he could. If someone reaches complete mastery he will be able to control all fire powers in the unoverse and any fire based power.It''s might goes beyond galactic level. He tried to do as said it involved the control of his energy and then concentrating on fire and heat on a point where the energy is directed and obtain fire as the basics. ------------------------------- Long time afterwards "I did it!" screamed Apolion in excitement as he saw a little fire coming out before immediately vanishing....because of the... Shooh! Wind... " Wind you can''t be this kind of a disturbance are you?!" a loud voice from Apolion responded to the wind. ------------ He practiced breathing techniques and did this for days until mastery and then practice the other methods. Methods: -Use fire as if it was wind through a certain dance or movements. -Become one with the fire through the heat of the sun. -Use air to burn things by concentration. -Use punched and kicks of fire. -Be unaffected by fire thorugh fire exposure. -Dodge things and become faster through fire. ---------- After 3 months... "Ahh no bathroom is now getting on my nerves! Why didn''t they put a bathroom for God''s sake!" screamed Apolion as he was doing his necessities from a far away place.... The next stage was now to learn to fight properly. "Okay let''s put this on!" excitedly Apolion clicked the remote. Then the figure moved and glowed ;it looked at him.A intimidating stare that of a war veteran fighting many wars was in front of him. Apolion did some warm up with body movements such as push ups. 5 minutes later... "Let''s start" screamed Apolion once again. The robotic figure moved his right arm in the right direction to then create a sphere of energy of a blue colour...A intimidating air was being created the atmosphere became disorted.The ball looked like a black hole of blue colour in spirals. Apolion gulped.... " I think I will get my ass beaten badly.." it was his last words...before he... 9 Training second part END of training Bang! Shooh! Apolion immediately dodged the energy blast. The wall was hit with the energy ball,but luckily it did not broke but it got beaten into a pulp. In a hurry, Apolion clicked the remote in its stop button. "That was really close!" concluded Apolion before relaxing from the tension. He looked at the robotic humanoid figure one more time.It stopped in midair. "I will take it outside since I don''t wanna damage this I guess" thought Apolion before trying to move the robot out. After 5 minutes... "I think I will give up" concluded Apolion in the end after so much tries because he could not move it even a single inch.Pushing.Lifting.Moving.Nothing seem to have worked. He then began to read the other scrolls.And reading the last part of the ''Omni-fire law technique''. The last part of the fire scroll was was to comprehend fire laws withing themselves and this comes in different enlightenment periods.So its different to everybody. Once comprehended through the training given, one will reach certain levels which will tell them in what stage they are to completion. This can be done by leveling up through channeling ''innate fire energy'' obtained only with refining of the user''s energy called ''Vrilin'' which Apolion accidentally discovered and used it even to this day reaching a high level after the scroll''s teachings.This refining is done with many mental thought and detection just as the scrolls teaches. Once someone breaks through a stage there will be a different aura each time with more ferocity and or calmness depending on the user with many kinds of symbols from someones''s soul with each symbol carrying another symbol common within all its users this appears in forms of aura energies or energy''s images every symbol carries a show of level comprehended and how strong.The symbols of the users ,however, also can appear in many forms even as music. Apolion has reached the ''lower stage of the true fire'' with his aura emanating rounding circles or flames like a tornado as his personal symbol and the common symbol to identify as such level is the circle that appeared around Apolion as a yellow light with fire burning through it.The uers can also hide it too so none can identify them unless its another omni-fire law technique user above three levels or a high level characters with great power. -------- There was another scroll which says how to get the ''unbreakable Absolute armored physiology'' this is a absolute grade physiology and they can''t be born with it;it has to be trained.And this gives you an unbreakable,unmovable,impenetrable,undestroyable defence which no attacks in existence can damage you physically or mentally or spiritually unless its an absolute based attack with only deal little damages as if they were only lightly punching with little pain at you regardless of how strong an attack is and if not enough it provides regeneration. It was given to Apolion as the fire scroll do not give him enough defense. The other scroll was the control of energy of one''s own and use it to fly and getting stronger.It was general and what everyone should know,however,this one was permanent scroll and will not burn or be gone in 2 years since its general. The final scroll tells him about his new powers.They were called innate powers.It lets him fuse attacks and physiology and any techniques is one.It is a rare power only few have and it is not limited to anyone as it can also be obtained through training.it let him also transform and hoold various forms and create transformations.It also uses the power of the sun and stars or light and darkness combining them in one to use it for powers. ---------------- The book told him in this world there is many energies and powers,however,mostly governed by magic and only few people have a different power systems.It told him he can learn magic from here anyway so they didn''t give him any magic teachings.It told him the most common language to communicate and the language with the basics of the country he was in to get going but in such a small words he found it hard to read.It also told him about the development of this world it was as said medieval-style but close to the renaissance period. It gave him the knowledge of the basics of the country and a map revolved withing pages to fit in and he could get the idea of the place he was in with a location of where he was now. "I will see in what power levels i can reach to in this 3 other next months I am already tired and can''t bear it more" said Apoion in a sighing manner followed by" If I just had my old dear phone it would have been better" complained Apolion only to be heard by no one. "But before that let me check this robot how do i turn it off or make it small again?" asked Apolion in a annoyed way. Only to be greeted by a click from a small button found in the remote.Apolion accidently clicked with his foot without realizing it. Eeeee! Mechanic sounds appeared like a ghost. "Oh! here we go again" stated Apolion. Shooh! Shooh! A pounch directed Apolion was immediatly dodged. "Hmmm? its movements are slow and this time it seems it does not use powers?"remarked Apolion only to be greeted by another punch. Hooo! He dodged that as well. "I better get out!" screamed Apolion as he run away like a chicken. The robot followed him behind. It gave him another kick. Bang! He was as lucky in a million chances to be able to dodge the attack from the left side. A tree was smashed and a mini crater was formed.But not enough to destroy the tree.If a human was hit by that probably he would be in a coma right now... "Where is the damn remote!?"asked Apolion in a panicked and hurried manner. Bang! The chest of Apolion was punched right then and there. The lack of time made him be hit but still managed to dodged it. "Ahh!" screamed Apolion.Followed by another line "I have no choice but to fight and get 200 points as soon as possible to stop this!" said Apolion to finally start to attack. " I call this FIRE''S PALM!" Remarked Apolion a loud voice in a serious tone before start using a palm ignited with fire.And aiming a slap to it''s face. A fire''s trail was formed like a crimson hair in yellowish highlights from his hands as the closer it got to.It was fast yet beautiful. Bang! The robot didn''t detect that coming so it went straight to his head making a loud metallic sound ;and birds went flying.Their screams heard over all the forest. To stop the robot he has to reach 200 points through hits to it and every hit with techniques count as 10 points and normal attacks count as 5 this don''t have pure or hybrid energized attacks but innate attacks such use of ''Vrilin'' to strengthen oneself.If it was a normal then its only 1 points.The settings could be personalized but the functions it had now were by default. "Hee!" The robot remarked loudly "10 points earned" followed by another speech in its male robotic voice "Insufficient points". It attacked more vigorously than ever. Apolion also got serious and frighted for his precious life. Shoo shooh shooh! Bang bang bang! --------- The fight continued until dawn.And the sun set to go to sleep and its partner the moon is starting to show its light. "He he he!"Apolion panted before relaxing in front of a tree by sitting down beside a near riverside and bringing the remote over to see how to control or leave it. "Unnn!?" he found a button to close it all along and turn it off or make it small again as a tablet.He then clicked it to see it becoming small and slowly banishing into a small little chip-like tablet.It also had different modes easy to hard....probably the reason it was more easier to fight the robot. "How convenient!!" smirked Apolion sarcastically- to himself. "Well then now that i have the control I will train for three more months with the new skills.Winter seems to be coming to my adventure will start next year but the time here seems to be different i will check it later.The ancient runes next to me will be my first so hope its something fruitful" remarked Apolion as he thought of the precious sweet little phones,Pcs,and digital technology back home- on planet Earth. To be continued.... 10 The Tower Apolion was leaving for his journey to the ancient ruins. The day was great.The sun kissed Apolion''s face giving him warmth.The gentle and merciless touch of the the cold wind passed by in his body making him feel like freezing in a fridge. The winter was coming. The gate was 200 meters away from there-cube soon to be finished doing its duty to carry Apolion as its shelter. He tapped the cube only to be turned into a small little cube in red in his hand of a crimson colour shining like a star in the morning''s light.He learned how to transport the item from the book. He walked from grassed to plants to trees all passing by like citizens in a city.He finally arrived after 5 minutes fast paced in his own way. ------- Apolion''s pov. I am standing in a great door with pillars broken and half-sunken with the vast walls as towers extending through far away. I enter withing as I push the doors.I am trembling for fear of any dangers.However, it might be worth it.See what I can find! ------- He stepped in a green land.The world was shining it was as if the Stone Hedge''s land is there contrasting with the dark forest from behind. Ehh? it is as if i stepped in another world as if my world of forests is finally over. Murmured Apolion as he was watching the scenery. It was all green oddly,however, ancient runes could be found.Broken structures of stone giant stone buldings were present as its decoration from both sides and everywhere. Hmmm?! what is that? said Apolion curiosly as a giant tower extending towards the heavens is there. It was mighty and yet old.Hammered by time and destruction of an unknown power.It lay there tall viweable towards the land,however there was one problem. How far can that beeeee!! screamed Apolion in annoyance after that moment. ----- Long minutes of walking till he found the tower. He was close to the door as if he was facing an old castle.The door is wooden and metallic oxidized parts were there too. ----------- Apolion''s Pov As I entered this big tower I saw a place filled with ancient mystery with castle-like features. The place was round as a flat ball.I saw pillars similar to ancient Greece''s structures of palaces.The room was dark yet little light could be seen from the broken stabbed walls. A stair of gigantic magnitudes was present to me. I went for curiosity.As I stepped the stair there was no reaction i guessed it would be safe.i went uphill ;it kept on driving to the very peak.Now I was in the side of the walls with passages leading me to above. I found another door after a long tiring way.I am even sweating.This might not even be worth it i am probably wasting my time but i must preserve with patience.Since as the old masters said "patience is key". I opened the door only to be greeted by a new world.It was filled with luxury all over.Designs were very extravagant as if it was the mansion of a rich man back in Earth.Except this time very old fashioned and palace-like typical of medieval times.It was a big room it The room was round it seemed it had no roof as I stared upwards i could see nothing but a hole.A endless hole indeed. I saw golden pillars around the circular palace.Also some old nooks left in the corner being decomposed. But nothing caught my attention more than a door in the other side. However as I stepped in. The flow started to glow.Circles after circles formed from the big sizes to the small going to a peculiar destroyed little altar which seemed to hold something but now half-sunken and seemed raided.It was located in the middle but i did not pay much attention. Rumble! This is a trap!? I screamed in my head I should have being more careful.But the fact that it has traps means that there is something valuable left here even if this place was raided althou not always true within risks comes success. I immediatly moved back before... Ahhh! A deep howl could be heard a skeleton appeared out of nowhere from the ground and grasped my leg.A zombie in skeletal form with an warrior''s armour.His flesh was grey and brown he had no visible meat in the skull ..because it was a skull! This can''t be! I gasped before I immediatly used a basic technique of the scroll to smash the skull out of this damned monster. Fire ignited towards my hand.It got stronger in an instant that started to show its ferocious fire aura extending towards everywhere in the air. I gripped my hand and Bang! As I punched it as hard as possible The head of the zombie went flying till it burned constantly. The Wrath of the fire''s first style, of the physical realm,attack of the Fire''s Wrath chronicles, Ferocious Burning strike. This is one of the techniques the scroll offer,however, not the only style or realm or as you have guessed ,title. Ahh I did it..My first kill I guess but probably does not apply to me since its just a zombie already dead probably that''s why I was able to maintain calmness to this stage which was fine,however,it was terrifying indeed; but I can''t maintain focus as I see more coming out in the ground. They now all formed fully they had swords and seemed a little stronger.The amour is those of western armours-knights. They were around 100 and looked strong. This day might be the end of my life but at least I got a 3 life hack just like some kind of cheat I guess which should save my life and al thou for others its unfair,not my problem.But the issue is I am not sure how is it supposed to work exactly to activate it.And also they can''t be this vague to never let me know.They must have put in it somewhere in that book .I haven''t finished it so I will just quickly go and check it later if I am alive...but no time for regrets. A sudden realization came to me.Hold on if that door behid me was open I could just go back- Rumble! The door suddenly closed with a great massive wall in golden machine-like appearance as if something were turned off. Damn it! I should have escaped instead of just wondering as the old masters said ''In the cave you most fear lies the treasure you most seek'' well I am not too convinced now but I guess there is a ''light you seek in the darkness you face''. I am just 16 please be easy on me....and also I didn''t celebrate my birthday last year in August because of this.Be lenient with me.I beg you! let me pass this hardship successfully. ------ Prayed Apolion to life before he immediately got back on his senses ;and with a nervous stance filled with contradicting fearlessness. "It''s now or never! Let''s fight!" said Apolion before immediately dashing to the battlefield of the palace-like''s newly created arena. To be continued. 11 Within The Heavens Meanwhile somewhere else.... A figure of light could be standing in the middle of a great tower extending high above. The tower was covered in layers each with a realm of its own with plants and trees.The tower was a great gigantic titan holding as it seems a small world on its own. Below, however, you could see other lands,however, the sky seemed mixed with white blue and all the rainbows colours appearing as the celestial world it is.(Note: Looks like Alfheim in Sword Art Online but more circular and extending upwards) A palace could be seen inside the tower''s peak; two men standing on behind and one up, levitating.They were in human size. "Enoch, you think this was a good choice?" asked a figure with a face that of a fair skin and blond hair with deep shiny blue eyes.He had handsome features with a chiselled jawline.He had an armor with a cape falling down after his torso and a metallic blue luminous halo. Six wings behind him all in proportion to each other and blue colours waving like mighty lords.He was standing below. "Hmm.I believe so as it''s more likely it will be the best option as long as we have him join us and solve some ''problems'' if you know what I mean Michael.And besides he is a strong power." said Enoch in a confident and prideful tone.he was the figure above. He had 72 wings behind him, all in proportion.They were white and mighty.It was glowing and giving an suppressing might of an overlord.he had an extraordinary armor shiny with white light coming out from its shiny marks- highlighting every bit face being covered by a domineering helmet with a double halo in metallic shape with the first halo looking like a crown.( Authors note:Like Imperius from Diablo but shiny and cooler) "He can help us in the future''s possible wars and fight in the interdenominational and multiverse realms with us.Al thou, he lost all the powers." said Enoch in a deep voice still thinking. ------- Rumble! Bang! The doors were made of a metallic style with a yellow cover in the middle and a circle in the middle as giant as builds were there too.Decorated with symbols of an unknown origin yet. The mighty doors as colossus opened. "Hahaha! Enoch! or should I say ''King of Angels'' Metatron! you sure know your ways.I never expected you to use him and even be kind enough to give him that power which is very scarce even withing the 7 heavens!" said a different figure coming out opening the door with a kick in a laughing manner.He had a hoodie covering his face and and wings of a snake-like attitudes with long red and golden shiny light.The wings were very long and similar to undulating lasers.(Similar to Tyrael.) "Don''t be too loud Zarkiel!" interjected Michael with a commanding tone. "Hmp! you have no power over me even thou you are the ''Heavenly Commander of the 7 Heavens''.Besides,your influence is lower against archangels such as me.So you can''t easily command me!" responded Zarkiel in a matter-of-fact tone not caring a bit for him-Michael. "Now,now, you two, calm down.Zarkiel our 8th Archangel, 8th power.You rarely ever come here;It must be becaus eof the incident does it?" asked Metatron/Enoch to Zarkiel in a calm manner. "Yes,naturally,you even chose 13 people along as well and they are not normal either if my momery does not fail.I met the first one...does Michael know?" questioned Zarikiel in a cautious way to not reveal much. "Well,he doesn''t, but you can reveal to him and no one is here either." said Enoch/ Metatron. "I see,Michael,I know this might be shocking for you but let my man, Enoch, answer you. And leave me for a second will you?" said Zarkiel to Michael as if he was in charge. The archangel Zarkiel was an ancient angle who did not got known to the universe that much; as he chose to hide as much as possible for unknown reasons known to him only.His power ,however,rivals Archangel Raphael''s one,the second strongest Archangel,and considered one of the strongest in Heaven.The ranks of angels did not limit power.The Archangels are the highest Guradians and commanders.The rank above Archangels were Seraphins which had the job to help govern the 7 Heavens with order.But it does not mean they are stronger than Archangels and vice versa.Zarkiel''s power also almost reaches Michael and his strenght is oddly increasing and Metatron could sense it ,but already had an idea of why, so he did not bother questioning. "Very well,go on,but don''t think you are superior even if you control the flow of time itself and manipulate it as you wish;thinking you are high enough." responded Michael bad humored. "He is that same man right? the one....who made the ''Great Crater of Chaos'' within the Last Heaven ,the 9th Heaven,Highest land of the Heavenly gods.Correct?" asked Zarkiel in a calm manner. Michael was shocked ,his eyes amazed ,he couldn''t believe what he heard just now.It was as if the worst event he could ever imagine came.A nightmare.He became quiet tense.But listened to not miss out any other details.He knew this News were needed to be kept a secret at all cost. "Correct.You have met him right?" asked Metatron with a calm demeanour. "Hmp!.Yes,I did not expect him to discover the secrets of the ''Vrilin'' that early.Also,his background...I never thought it would be like that..It is quiet interesting.I talked a bit with him but his character is not bad.I don''t know how he was before thou..maybe you know, right?" narrated Zarkiel with a question out of curiosity smirking secretly behind his black hood of pure blackness hiding his face. "Well.It happened 1,110,000 years ego.And also not even I know that much yet.But I plan on meeting him again and probably make him an ally.Through this risky actions.If you don''t gamble I don''t think we can win against ''them''. Don''t you agree? Also I gave him a 3 life chance along with the others with all equipments." said Metatron in a confident tone looking at Zarkiel. "Very well althou I think it will be hard when the ''Time'' comes,however,good luck.I look forward to this! I watched him closely when he was with Thariel-He mistook the innate power of light and darkness of ''his'' with the ability you decided to give to them. But I let it be.With that said I am now out.Take care." Zarkiel finished what he had to say before vanishing in a flash and be gone. "Michael I will explain later,now let me alone for a second." said Metatron in a relaxed way to Michael. "I see,I will come after 5 minutes.You better explain me in full detail.." responded Michael in a very curious and yet serious face without putting away the fact of wanting more. He then left the place by closing the door after walking away. --------- "Hmm it passed a long time....100,000 years is it? You were quiet fearful but now...sigh...I hope you and I can meet again.Also don''t die after three times...it''s the most I can do for all of you..." And saying that, Metatron meditated in the meanwhile looking at the ceiling of the window contemplating at the clear sky. To be continued.... 12 Death Battle in the Tower The battle had begun. The room was wide as a palace as if a different space realm is there.Apolion took this at his advantage.He thought going to the sides could benefit him and climb up to deal with them one by one or slowly so he does not get overwhelmed. But first he had to clear the path to make a way.He can''t fight them all as he is not experienced. He knew he gonna get saved anyway,however,did not want to waste the lifes given to him for future use;he thought wasting them at first by trying to find another way to activate them as there was another section for it in the book but he didn''t look at it since he wanted to prioritize how to survive with battle skills. Clack! Swords clashed in the blue round shield of Apolion''s skin.This is an innate automatic skill which appears when the ''Absolute Armored phisiology'' user is attacked in any way:creating a shield to defend it''s user in the skin.Called the ''Innate skin shield '' Ruaaag! Screams of abyssal monsters resonated from the small mouths of the zombie-like creatures before charging in all together with their swords becoming bright with a blue light. before they could even attack, Apolion moved far away as quickly as possible and catch the book shelves and climb to go to a place where you can stand.oddly enough it seemed that the is a platform for you to stand in the round library;with many ancient objects and statues of knight-like armours. The more strange it became as deep as it could be endless in all its splendor..But where is the escape? Where is the hope? He was lost.His mind perplexed...for an instant. Ttti! Before being grabbed in the leg and bought back to life;being taken down again but this time a sword came towards directly in his eye. Shoo! Apolion dodged it immediately moving to the side only to be hit by another sword from behind as another zombie-knight. Bang! Blood dripping from the tip of the shining blue sword.It perforated his intestines ;the pain was spreading like a virus towards his body. The other creatures have now become silent. Apolion was clenching is teeth as hard as possible.This pain...was very immense.It was his first time experiencing it.He could scream all he wanted but he knew that he had to maintain calmness to see if anything else could be seen to learn from the experience if ever survived.But even if he was to die he should at least see the clear picture even if its terrific and horrible. A glimpse of a circular purple glowing ball could be seen withing the broken altar it might be the key to eliminate all this disaster,however,nothing matters no more. He fell in the floor.All eyes locked in his body as they watch him die.They oddly did not make any move as if they had another purpose to do. He saw the endless sky of the tower.He now had flashes of his memories from the past. -------- Apolion''s pov This is what feels like to be dying alone, is it? It seems I might not make it if I have no other life left as he promised.My eyes are burning.It supposed to be on fire yet I feel water coming out around my face.Was this all pointless? I now regret things I should have done before but I have no more words to express my feelings- its too late.I should have known that there is danger yet I foolishly accepted this ; thinking I would one day come back gloriously and have lived an adventure worth living.I should have being more careful and just live my life how it is.... It was all peaceful and maybe now I know why a simple life might give you the greatest pleasure.It was all simple but without any tension or any suffering what a wonderful world. .I had lost in the blink of an eye. ... If I ever died I do not know where will my soul or spirit go but at least..I know death is not the end after all this.. But I am scared...I am scared. . I feel lucky to know from the billions of people on Earth I was chosen. But It all ended just like that...Damn it...what guarantee is there for me..maybe I shouldn''t have chosen this path and go back home and live happily. The pain is too much.I never knew simple wounds I see happening could be this painful.... Will I be able to resurrect or even live? ----------- Suddenly everything turned black... ... "Where am I?" asked Apolion confusedly as he woke up from the ground filled with water all around him.The sky was filled with stars. "I see nothing good coming out of this." Said Apolion ;"Wait! why am I naked?!"exclaimed Apolion in surprise. The strange phenomenon left him perplexed.he soon relaxed.The environment was calm. The sky was like a beautiful night of galaxies closer like distant Suns in a wonderful dance. .... A big light appeared in the middle like a colossus from the sky forming a never ending tower.The world became brighter and brighter till a ray of engulfing light devoured everything in an instant like an explosion. Everything blanked out. .... . "What is this?" Apolion looked nervously as he stopped covering himself with the arms fromt he light. Muhay tu estin deis slor ''Mundonium Loyel Amper! "You are the mightiest God-slayer..'' THE WORLD BREAKER EMPEROR''!... An ancient voice resounded throughout the void.Filling Apolion''s ear with direct command and truth within. A figure could be seen standing.All light and white.galaxies floating around his body.A silhouette of humanoid figure. ''What''s he saying?'' wondered Apolion as he let the figure finish. Translated "Oh I forgot you don''t remember it yet..well i will speak in the language we know now." said the figure with deep ponder of the matter after looking at the confused Apolion as if he was a stone. "Well,I am you and you are me.Stay with that knowledge for now.I can''t maintain it for longer.However I will give you an ability which was already yours,however,you can use it only 3 times a year." narrated the figure hurriedly as if its the end of the world is nearing in a noble manner. ''''What what power? and what you mean? its too quick!'''' said Apolion in a panic. "I have no time,nevertheless,no one knows about it -neither those ''angels'' you met. I will let you know when the time comes.I am supposed to awaken in time you died in this lifetime only once to save you regardless even if its old age..save you from human ''mortality''..the concept of being ordinary as you are destined to be great and have a missions to do and carry out.This was set by you! Even better way to say it its that..This is not a destiny neither a job...you were not destined for greatness..you have set the goals to surpass anyone you came across and reach your dear ''goals''.. All this is now the past a long history in the sea of time. I will awaken once again after you have reached a level of enlightenment in the mind.I will give you the knowledge to do so as well as the power I said-the ability.We are now weak..to the extend we are lower than many beings in the universe..the truth is half of your soul is missing.You have to regain it as one mission.Your power is that of an ordinary person.We are lucky we got knowledge from a mysterious book from our family even thou your ''memories'' were lost and gained a bit of harvest but the reason you are able to gain ''superpowers'' or abilities that easily is that you got a boost up by the ability given to you by them. The only reason you are so strong and able to easily gain powers is that fortunately you reincarnated in a knowledgeable family and our soul is strong enough to be like that of an average person even thou half is missing and weakened significantly since then...to regain the soul lost go and defeat the Demon lord in Hell named ''Mammon'' one of the demon''s who left Satan''s faction.Since the ''Great War''...his location or clues of where he is probably found in the library in the seventh heaven named ''Library of the HOLY HEAVEN''S KNOWLEDGE''..you can reach there through those angels you met. When you go back to Earth you have to get stronger and reach the HEAVENS..again.'''' narrated and explained the figure directly on point like a almighty being. ''''Well I can''t stay for long sorry.I wish I could'''' said the figure as his body was fading.. Apolion lay standing in the water with a confused mind unable to have the time to digest what he has being revealed so suddenly..''''Wait I can''t understand everything that easily and I might forg-''''responded Apolion desperately before being cut off. "Here" immediately his figure extended its hand and touched Apolion''s forehead as it transported itself in front of Apolion. Suddenly floods of memories and records and knowledge immediately flooded him like a gigantic torrent, including the whatever the mysterious figure told Apolion. He was paralyzed.His body unmovable.He lay standing with eyes as wide as possible but dead and continued so until it stopped...in 30 seconds...it felt like an eternity to him. ''''Ahh ahh hehe'''' Apolion was panting and grasping for breath it seems oxygen was present even thou this world seemed dream-like and galactical.He fell in his knees.''''Thanks when I do all that I will look for you again'''' responded Apolion to the figure''s sudden action soon after very tired and trying to digest the information as well as staying calm. ''''I look forward to it'''' The last sentence before it faded like paper eliminated by fire from below to down. ...''''Well I guess I have to give it a try,be ready you damn stupid zombies!''''..Screamed Apolion before the world broke like glass. .______________ A knight zombie was about to stab Apolion''s head and another going for his backpack when suddenly... A massive wave emmitted from Apolion.Like a supernova it blew the whole zombie knights away. Some survived- around 10 and looked in surprised with their shields covering them. ''''Huh..not bad.Let me show you my skill.It''s name is..''World Negation''! calmly replied a voice from the shadows of the ashes. A big force fiend was created all around the palace of bright red and dark black colour. The swords suddenly stopped shining and the zombies were excreting a purple energy out of them but still standing but seem to become weaker and struggling to stand. ''''Well let me see what you gonna do without your powers now!'''' said Apolion before dashing as fast as a cheetah and taking a sword in the way;he neared between each one and began decapitating them. Kah Kah Kah! Rays of undulating slashes with high intensity and as bright as lights in fireworks presented themselves in rainbows. One by one.Heads rolling like balls.Cuts after cuts.Like a mad demon. AAh! The last head fell. The world became silent and the altars ball stopped glowing. ''Ahh this ability boosts my power by 10 by every enemy inside it.Even physically.It also cancels all powers linked to vrilin and supernatural powers per say. I am surprised thou I killed them..I feel calm.As if it was common to me yet not.'' Apolion thought a lot before releasing a deep sigh.''I guess I will see what they have here a bit I see a lot of gold thou I am not sure if it is but I will take it since it can be used for trading maybe.That is after I get my bag'' innately thought Apolion as he went to take his bag and looking at the gold minerals in the tower where books were.He noticed them after the fight. It seems his mind wasn''t clear at the time to realize their existence. ''Hmm interesting.everything is valuable in the wild..well in the situation I am now at the moment.Although being the chosen one feels good sometimes its tiring'' signed Apolion in his mind. ---------- He took a rest after a while and eat one of the fruits of the trees he got from the bag as he had.He took a small bag which had much more space than it looked liked. Well as the ''instructions of use'' said it could accumulate at least 10 kilograms even thou it is int he size of a palm and on top of that ''light as a feather''. It was a small rectangle with a opening at its wight -like a letter''s mouth but small-and looked like it was made by a unknown metal which is flexible as it is metal coloured yet malleable and easily change shape from a flat rectangle to a cylinder as you insert the hand. ... 30 minutes later ''Well lets see''. Apolion was trying to find one of the books from above. ''Eh? What is this?'''' He captured a book from above the colossal rounded bookshelves and looked at it with calmness. To be continued..... 13 The arrival to the village. The book depicted strange writings Apolion never heard before. There were magic symbols all over the place too, with descriptions of a unknown language. ''This could mean that it might be a magical book designed for warriors or mages of this world maybe...as I the symbols look like magic circles as depicted back home''. The books were very intriguing so he took one book to study while he left the others.The only reason he took that book was because it looked fancier than the others. It was grey and old.The dark lines of the voids highlighted the books cover.There was a symbol present in the middle; very complexly drawn and carefully made perfect in all angles.Golden in colour and shiny as stars. ''Well, I will just take this one althou the backpack has a lot of space I don''t think I want the whole library do I?. Maybe in the village and cities I might travel to I could find more interesting books or materials save space for emergency and future stuff''. Apolion made a firm decision and left the place. As the door seemed to be strangely open; perphaps, from the fall of the zombies as if it was a trial or a trap in pyramids or so thought Apolion. It turns out it is true it opened after the battle was over and the reason won''t matter for now..Well, not yet.You will see..in the future. Apolion wanted to go down and hurry up to the village as he might miss the opportunity to meet his future friends and maybe new adventures and quickly eliminate the danger of this world.Althou, this tower was interesting and it bought him bad luck -and was about to almost die-it made him more experienced and watch out for dangerous events. Apolion run quickly to get out from the nightmarish tower and didn''t want to remain any second as he didn''t wanna die, which, will waste his 3 lives , even thou, he was about to lose it in a moment of minutes ego. ''''Hahh'''' Breathed Apolion heavely with a big mouth multiple times by: Taking air in and air out, and air in and out. ''Let''s go no-...!'' before Apolion could think of something the big tower went on to collapsing and was about to fall in front of him.The danger was nearing.The bricks of death were unleashing their might. ''''Hell No!'''' Apolion ran like a mad man even thou the tower was nearing. ''Why does this things happen to me?'' As Apolion was running in the front and the shadow was nearing closer he was in despair. ''What do I do? Will I die stupidly again?'' In a moment of chaotic thoughts he saw the other part of the ground where the tower was not facing. Tah! With a jump. Apolion made it alive by going to another side where the tower did not fall upon. ''That was close''. He thought of the stupidity of not realising there was other places where he can skip through by going sideways in a tower''s longitude.But, the past is the past. He deeply looked at the destroyed colossal havoc the tower made by self suicide one last time and parted. He looked at the countryside ahead. There was a yellow road like in those animations and cartoons he used to watch back in Earth with a fantastical countryside allways with a srange middle road out of the blue. Even in artworks and real life it happens. He wondered: Who made them? A mystery for him for now. ..... A youngster walked in silence, with a hat with circles of red highlights bellow the hat''s tower(similar to Ace from one piece''s to get an idea) and a bottle of water hanging out in his neck.The clothes he wearied to look like a high quality clothing similar to high level lords of warrior class,specially from stealth types such as assassins.With a white hood hanging from his back.A suit joint together with the hood and its back as long as his legs making two strands of wings hanging like leaves.(similar to Altair''s clothing from ''assassins creed'' but only the hood part and down from the legs part the rest is open suit with many buttons. To get an idea.)There was another layer of clothing as his torso and black in colour as if its a jumper but with chains hanging with other buttons in between the abs and breast forming arcs. The sun was burning and hot yet the wind was cold like knives in a bloodshed.The trees lost their hairs.The world was deadly silent.The clouds were everywhere; some dark \u0026 some pure. ''The 100 miles! will end...I can finally see it!'' thought Apolion as he saw glimpses of a village after 2 days of going alone and taking breaks and encampments in the process.And the gate was visible and some guards were present. ''Finally people I can talk to!''. Apolion tried to understand the language and he put his mind steadily in memorizing the language given to him named ''Engorian'' which is similar to English so he can learn it fast.He mostly knows how to write but not pronounce as he needed verification form real people to see their pronunciation. He knows some meanings the basics to get going but its not easy as it seems he still has trouble to remember everything so he will mostly rely on writing and sign language. 5 minutes later.... ''''Hello I am ''Apolion'' and I am a traveler. I came here for staying and visiting the place and maybe join your people if I feel obliged or like it.I do not have a country and I was raised in a remote village in a forest. I do not know language much.Can I pass please?'''' said Apolion smoothly as he practiced the same paragraph along the journey for entrance.The rest he planned ot use sign language of other basic words. ''''Oh? you have any identity card or anything to prove that you are not a threat such as any documents?'''' asked one of the guards guarding the gate. The gate was massive and had a round sign with two unknown words written on it.It looked like it was filled with golden highlights.The gate''s door was red and made of a dense wood as it seems.There were two guards ,strangely enough, guarding the gate.But the others might be hiding or inside the village. They looked as if they had a western armour with a lance.A helmet similar to vikings, however, but no horns were present.They had white complexions but the odd thing about them was their hair.One had a Blue hair and the other had a green hair or so it could be seen from the bits of hair coming out of their helmet and the eyebrows. ''They might be dies or natural colour never seen on Earth.'' thought Apolion as he looked wiht interest. But ,nevertheless, Apolion was confused. He did not understand what they mean by ''identity card'' so he just passed it off by saying : ''''I do not understand Engorian and your language.Only little bit''''. The guards looked at each other with a bit of amusement and confusion in what to do..until.. ... "Well then let''s just get him an interview,it''s winter and we shouldn''t bother much with this after all this is the ''Village of Sparcian'' owned by Lord Achil .His clothes look like that of a noble.He could be one of those who escaped from a forced marriage or something, but, definitely untrustworthy, and he seems to struggle to understand our language and on top of that does not know Egorian.Probably from a small country far away I don''t know how he managed thou..'''' said one of the guards to the other-the one with green hair in the left. ''''Well you are right.But I feel pity for him so lets just get him an interview from the Lord, after all we have a noble here and apart form your speculations he might be from an enemy nation or a country with problems too.Only the Lord can solve this problem.'''' said the other guard reflecting on his companion''s words. Apolion waited expectantly to let him pass or get him some kind of interview but knew nothing but ''crap'' about what they were saying.The angels didn''t bother to at least give him a translator or something that is not a book instead. ''A pain in the ass'' as thought by Apolion himself.If he complained they will come with the excuse of Good for your brain or tempering of the sorts from the organization or so thought Apolion as he wandered the ''Why there were no translators?''. But suddenly... ''Wait a minute...Thariel told me there is something in that cube that let me know the language of this world..yet why didn''t I find anything?'' Thought Apolion in despair in a flash as he was so focused on training and surviving that he forgot about the language and communication''s importance in this world. ..... In the Great order of the Divine Twilight headquarters. In a hidden realm with a towering palace of marble-like materials.Above gates bellow and waterfalls raining bellow with no stairs to go to as if you had to fly.In a room with a desk that is round around one person who was Thariel with colossal glasses behind his back for a celestial view around the horizon with sun burning with light watching over the trees of exotic colours such as purple. ''Hmm I am sure I missed something but i don''t remember what I was about to give..I mean I have a feeling I have failed to give someone of the chosen ones a ''thing'' but what could it be?..I don''t have that feeling with the others..Its all complete for the other 12 But it kept for days now I guess its months for them..I hope everything goes alright....wait a minute...The TRANSLATOR.!'' Thariel manifested a small chip by extending his hand as an energy sphere was present around the chip. When given to the skin it attaches itself to make them understand any language as well as it can be disactivated any time and the language will be learned and memorized by the chip and slowly make the user gain knowledge of it through interactions even thou it knows the language it needs interaction and time for the chip to give knowledge and for confirmation to give necessary correct and accurate knowledge possible.Whatever they say will be translated into another language with the person they are interacting as its a omni-linguistical device. But he just failed to give this to Apolion...in the overconfident tone without checking anything. ''''How can I be this idiotic..Kid I am sorry ...you are on your own..but always look at the bright side...'''' sighed Thariel for the last time in the whole day. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Mini randomness and summary They look like people from Isekai Quarter....... Apolion has a mini hoodie on and clothes from first chapter. Me: I am wearing a Dark Armour of an overlord and the helmet you see in my picture..not mine but inspirational and dealing with my next target in a online game with a futuristic iron-man style panels everywhere behind me. Apolion: Hello guys I am mini-Apolion! You might be wondering what am I doing here....? Well, its easy to answer. I am here to summarize this chapter after all, I am the protagonist...right Author? Lord Maximus: Hmm? Apolion: Isn''t it I am the protagonist? Lord Maximus: Yes you are but the difference is that you will probably have a hard time... Apolion : Wait! Hold on! Are you saying you are sadistic? Making me suffer like this.... Lord Maximus: Great Protagonism and Power comes with great Suffering and Responsability. Now,..Leave me alone I have to conquer my lands. *Looks at the online game again strategically to attack the opponent* Apolion : Bu- Lord Maximus: No Buts! Get lost! If you don''t wanna lose protagonism in the story you better behave. Apolion : Well guys back to the topic... You see I arrived at the village but I did not know how to communicate so I will be in big trouble. That is if my sadistic Master doesn''t do anything weird... Also see you next chapter.... Lord Maximus: Did I hear correctly, the word, ''sadistic''? * Looks at Apolion with a death stare. Apolion:* Intense sweating*...Definetly No....How could I shame my master you are the Lord... And that''s how Apolion kiss footed me till 3 hours... 14 Lord Achils ''''I am wondering where am I going?'''' said Apolion with curiosity as he entered the village and the gates opened.He looked around with wonder and thought with questions about how they lived in this medieval planet setting different from humans in his world with a guard accompanying him. Now that I think about it...This people look almost like humans, maybe, they have most of their genes similar to us? pondered Apolion. The street was barely populated.The streets were made of old flat rocks and few grass were coming out.But the place they were was in the main gateway, they walked straight, on top of that, was smelly filled with rotten meat and unhygienic sewage. Apolion thought that : /If this is medieval setting what if there were some Roman-style settings for powerful countries since Rome seemed more advanced than Medieval people? But, Thariel told me this is medieval-style..Well, even an angle can be wrong right? Since he lied to me after all..or maybe he forgot..who knows what those strantge guys do after all?./ ( Author''s note: Me) However, amidst the strange few disturbances there was picturesque houses which were relatively clean and polished.There were shops in the streets and some ordinary individuals selling fruits and vegetables which were very different from Earth such as a product similar to a banana but blue in colour. As the walked they went to a main street in the right side..where above you could see ropes around the houses and big buildings with castle-style blocks were present..shops were open but only quiet a few.The sky was caged in a wonder of fireworks of flags in the ropes of different colours as if there was a festival before. Soon a castle could be seen of small magnitudes similar to a 5 story house.It had a clear path now with many other interlocking in a circle where the castle was located in the middle. He path was much more clear with flowers around them for a tasteful air. The place was definitely medieval yet much more advanced in architecture than the normal homes he saw. ''''Enter here please'''' said the guards coolly towards Apolion as calm as water with a signal with his hand pointing towards the door in the castle. The castles door was wooden and looked like any other medieval doors depicted in stories and fictional worlds.There were two other guarding the door. Well, let''s see what awaits me. Apolion thought calmly as he thought he had powers above the common people in this world and everything would go fine, even if, they seemed to have powers since he could escape, somehow, if he is in danger.At least, in his mind. Inside the room in the castle.... There was a desk in the middle. Far away from the door. There was a big window in the back giving light to the room and candles in each corner of the square room to destroy dark atmospheres as much as it can. The room had a red carpet covering the place and there was a man in the desk.he looked robust and has a cloak around him.he had a medieval luxury clothing which made him look like a royal.A beard that only reached half of the neck; very imposing and plainly spiky.White hair and long reaching to the neck.Eyes that looked at him with authority and a penetrating blue in colour as the sky.A face strong and hard yet decayed like iron. ''''Who is this person?'''' asked Lord Achils in curious and authoritative gaze but always being cautious. ''''This person is foreigner from a remote country or area we do not know or so he claims.He does not know out language so we bought him to you but we suspect he is a noble for his clothes.'''' calmly explained one of the guards. ''''The problem arises in dealing with him without making any big problem as we are not sure if he is gonna bring us trouble politically'''' remarked the guard following what he said before with a troubled expression. Lord Achils signaled the guards to go away. And so, the guards vanished from the room instantly. Apolion was left alone. ----- ''''You don''t seem to understand our language neither the main language is it not?'''' asked Lord Achils in a serious manner as if it was a crime. ''''There is no point in discussing with you. Look'''' remarked Lord Achils before signaling to the books and made gestures indicating to take those from his shelves. They were books of history of and tradition that was left in the dust of this country. Well he tells me to check the books out, I guess, I will check it probably to teach me how the country works.Through Apolion in his mind. ''''Well we need to teach you language I will get someone to teach you how to speak'''' Lord Achils made a firm decision. Apolion clueless watches the books and also listens to the man''s sayings without a way to learn what he was talking about. Suddenly, Lord Achils told him by gestures and signals to sit in the sofa next to him. Apolion looked at him once and nodded with agreement and sat on the sofa waiting for the next action or guidance but with impatience since he needed a place to rest. ''''Wait here'''' said Lord Achils with a sigh before going to the door and vanishing before signaling Apolion to stay. ''''This might take longer than expected'''' Apolion remarked loudly before relaxing on the sofa and waiting.You must have patience. He waited in calmness and contemplation towards the skies out the windows.He _________ ''''Call her'''' Lord Achils commanded to one his servants. ''''Yes Mi lord" The male servant went out of the castle. Lord Achils went outside of the castle in the process as well and waited in contemplation like Apolion but the only difference was..His face looked stressed. /''The battle of the ''Phantom winter'' is coming and the nations beside us are not as patient as it seems.'''' However, there is something odd about that youngster. We border the forest of the Destroyed Wood forest .A forest infamous for the disappearance of many yet he came out alive.He either has some ability or the forest is in a strange state we don''t know for sure. Most importantly, I have to figure out whenever this youngster is from an enemy nation.Everything seems too suspicious.Besides, he does not know Engorian yet he traveled up to here without skills to communicate? I have to find out first by teaching him our language and use help from that girl. I put a protective shield and magic circle in case he does anything strange in the room I left him.it will allow me to detect anything strange. In the end I can relax after a long day in this darkening skies.Although they look evil, they have a dark beauty indeed./ Thought Lord Achils as he waited in the outside of the castle while houses from the front watch him in tranquility. _________________________________________ Mini-world.... Lord Achils: It seems that you understand my language after all? Apolion: well yes, after all we are in another dimension where all stupidity might become real.. Lord Achils: Well true. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that you looked like some weirdo noble with those clothes... Apolion: Wait..How? Lord Achils: Well in the village not anyone can afford that luxury you wear.It''s common but sad... Apolion: Leaving it aside..I see that you put counter measures against me? Lord Achils: Yes after all...you are a shady youngster from a shady land. Apolion: *With a smirk* And you are an old bag with no life at all I bet your life is so sad you can make the king cry indefinetly! Lord Achils: You shameless bastard you dare to be rude to your elders?! Apolion : Look who is the hypocrite..and look at the double standards...you say I am shady..yet you now turn out to be an angel?! Lord Maximus: Shut up! You two ! I have to find peace in my meditations to regain the power of light..*meditates in calmness in the sky''s clouds* Apolion: Wait..if you are trying to reach light..with that armour- Lord Maximus: Who said you can''t reach the light..being in the dark side with my dark armour? In order to comprehend the light know the darkness. Only when the darkness invades is when light is needed. Our mere existence is to transmute the darkness into light.... Apolion and Lord Achils simultaneously: Ahhhh....now I understand. Lord Achils: Well this place in the sky is kinda strange can we go back to the story? I am wondering what will master write...after the meditation. We were all standing on a platform formed by clouds and a high palace similar to a celestial realm with towers going above of golden colours extending towards the space.We are close to a mountain where we can go down too. Lord Maximus: Well I guess its time...say farewell to the readers... Apolion and Lord Achils simultaneously with a loud shout: Good Bye readers! Apolion: Also don''t forget to ask us questions if you wanna know more about our feelings..if you care...that is...*Looks at you with puppy eyes* Lord Maximus: Enough! *snaps finger* 15 An arduous day It was a long process that took at least 20 minutes..which passed like an eternity for Apolion as he waited in the room impatiently. ''''Sorry for making you wait so long'''' Suddenly a voice from the door could be heard at last, which was lord Achils walking in vigilantly until he realized Apolion does not know his language so he decided to be quiet for now. Apolion saw something that caught his eye. It was a female next to Lord Achils.She had red hair and blue eyes.Her clothes looked that of a typical noble house''s lady with long dress.She had flowers of a white colour extending towards her skirt like spirals.Her dress was also red and green shades with a open back.Her skin pale yet shiny.Her hair as long as her waist with a headband attached to a blue flower similar to a rose. Her body had curves highly highlighted and big breasts of at least cup D. Apolion looked at her with curiosity and fascination... ''This world definitely has beauties''...Thought Apolion as he also noticed scent emanating from her.''Also in terms of scent impressive''...Followed Apolion with another compliment in his head as he watched her every graceful move and he secretly glanced at the breasts without her knowledge with a rapid eye movement to not get caught..He was a master at this after practice in the forest against the robot.. ..She seemed a bit older than Apolion but definitely young. ''''So, you are the foreigner who is a bit lost over here right?'''' asked a angelic voice from her mouth that Apolion was dumbfounded for a bit and regain composture as he was resistant to beautiful women and girls. Apolion looked at her with a clueless face.I guess I have to say something.Determined Apolion as he realized he won''t go nowhere if he doesn''t highlight he is illiterate and ignorant of their language even thou they probably know. ''''I not speak language'''' Highlighted Apolion calmly as he nervously waited for an asnwer even thou it was broken Engorian. ''''Well he doesn''t seem to be lying you can rest assured I will deal with him.By the way prepare a inn where he can stay and we will judge his situation.'''' said the girl before looking at Lord Achils with a confident tone before explaining to Lord Achils to not be worried and the sorts. ''''Well, its relief that he is not a troublesome fellow after all.But I will maintain my guard on specially in this times as it is gonna start in 2 weeks time. But are you sure its alright with you? if it is...I shall say no more..but be careful'''' remarked Lord Achils before going to do his businesses after closing the door, leaving the two alone. Her sky blue eyes looked at Apolion who was having difficulty looking at her eyes. My name is Lorenya Xi Kyolictlium but call me Lorenya'''' said Lorenya very calmly and fascinated by Apolion by directing a finger at her to highlight that is was her. She detected that Apolion had an unusual bearing and origin as his aura is very different form the auras she could read from people.The reason she was so sure Apolion was not lying is because of her ability to detect lies through her magic but what was odd is that this magic barely worked and showed that is true but the magical energy''s flow is too shallow compared to what she had experienced. She looked at Apolion with interest. ''''I am Apolion'''' responded Apolion in a respectful tone but still a bit nervous. ''''Ok, it seems you know a bit of Engorian yet you don''t know the full language, maybe, your family didn''t taught you the language or either you were learning but for some circumstances you left home. Nevertheless, first, lets teach you a good lesson..'''' said Lorenya in a calming voice and determined with a confident face. ''''Etto..'''' Apolion was speechless for a second as he didn''t know what to respond. ''''Well, I will take you around the village. So come on !'''' said Lorenya before setting to the village as she had nothing else to do.She hinted this Apolion by signalling to go outside. She was already bored in her way here so she decided to go outside a bit after dealing with Lord Achils. Apolion nodded and went outside along with the Lorenya.He took his bag with him too. Apolion saw the picturesque world once more but this time he felt felt relaxed as he was walking with a beauty.. As they were going to the street a carriage with two horses came and the servant greeted them respectfully before signalling to go to the carriage. The servant had black hair and black attire similar to a suit.But extravagant yet humble in both senses. Apolion was looking it at it with curiosity.It looks ordinary but maybe, only nobles can afford carriages like this..Wondered Apolion before he was dragged by Lorenya to the carriage. ''''Sit here and feel free'''' said Lorenya before looking at him carefully. She prepared this to go around the village and explore, as the village was still new to her, beforehand..even thou the carriage looked too simple and wooden it provided less highlights and stand out less.She thought it would be a good opportunity to find some material mentioned by her father and few accessories..but never she thought she would meet a strange person almost the same age as her or so it looked like that posses a strange aura around him.This is many instances meant that the person hold some talent or a special ''secret''...it happened only a 2 times..in her life..this is the 3th.That is, apart form his above than average face. ''''I will explain to you the meanings of things you don''t know by going to shops as I so happen to need certain materials for going to the capital.'''' ''''Oh! you didn''t know what I was saying never mind.'''' Lorenya said in self realization but she decided to wait till they reach the clothing shop she wanted to go to and find out Apolion''s mystery as soon as possible but, nevertheless, even if she wasn''t successful she would just be happy to help another individual she found interest in.She hardly ever pays attention to people that vigorously for her magical talents which could lead to arrogance that''s why she decided to temper her mind by living in adventures, after all, the nobles in the capital were arrogant, well, not all, but the majority. Since her status was special she stayed indoors most of the times.However, she could go outside some of the times and had quiet a few friends. With her appearance and talent she receives a lot of compliments and sons of noble houses try to woo her or gain her favor and some even propose marriage proposals...but as expected she rejected them all. They hold ulterior motives and unpleasant personalities for a room to even chat or be friends with as she sees through them. This ability of hers was kept hidden and only she and some of her family members know..and few of her close friends or acquitances such as Lord Achils-whom she considers very close. When she looked at Apolion he didn''t have lustful motives..well at first he did, but she thought its to be expected..but then it quickly changed to awe and tranquility...which is rare in a youngster like him looking at her beauty yet Apolion felt a bit flustered at first too, which made her laugh a little in her inner world. Since this boy was different form the rest she decided to give a shot at knowing him. the reason Lord Achils chose her is because it so happens that she is here and she is good at language so she could be a temporary language instructor for Apolion since she will stay for the winter. Apolion only understood the first part so he just nodded. Apolion was looking at the window not trying to miss any detail as it was all new to him and he knew he could not let his guard down.At least, not for now. Houses after houses and children, women,men were passing by nothing was odd.. But what made Apolion impressed is that there was a woman with feline ears walking in the street.He decisively watched her...it was very strange and too unrealistic.it was a female too and the two kids a boy and girl also had those ears.Rare to the sight for Apolion. ''''That''s a Beastkin of the Chatlic race...why you seem very impressed'''' asked Lorenya with curiosity and signalling him why that reaction. ''''I can''t explain'''' responded Apolion with an obvious matter-of-fact gaze. ''''Soon you will'''' Lorenya then focused on her thoughts and the people outside just like Apolion. The commoners were also questioning whats a carriage doing there at first until...they thought its another acquaintance of Lord Achils and that was common to be in few cases so they ignored it.However, it left questions in their mind. 5 minutes has passed... ''''So this is the so-called store Uncle Achils mentioned?'''' asked Lorenya to the servant. ''''Yes, Milady this is the store.'''' said the servant with submissive and respectful tone.He was an middle aged man with caution and respect with utmost sincerity. The store had a glass highlighting various dresses.. and mannequins.. Apolion was standing along with her in the store''s front. Lorenya was much one centimeter shorter than Apolion as the outside view them could be seen by the owner who immediately went to greet them. The store was wooden and was linked to a house just like in Earth''s groceries. There was something Apolion couldn''t grasp. ''If this village average then why is there some luxuries? Also maybe this is common yet some things are not?''...Apolion''s thought wandered through the sky. ''''Let''s go'''' as Lorenya entered Apolion did too. They watched dresses constantly and she was picking all the beautiful dress she could find and buying them like crazy.. The old man from the shop felt quiet disturbed but respectful as he thought then his clients from other backgrounds could not buy his pieces of clothes anymore.He was the most talented in the village in regards to clothes and known for a special design related to symbols...most widely known among women... and it so happens that this noble girl from God knows where..is stealing everything..from his shop.He never met her before but stayed calm since the other party is superior is power and he would still get money. Apolion watched with a sweating glance at Lorenya as he thought Is she always like this?.. Until she grabbed Apolion''s arm and made him go through the dresses..and made him chose one for her. But Apolion was flustered again and quiet reluctant until he gave up and showed her what he liked since he could not reject a beautiful woman or girl looking at him helplessly since he was still hot-blooded teenager. And also she forced him to memorize words depicted in clothing and also their names as well as teach him basic verbs in the way.She was too fast Apolion had to use a great deal of brain power to memorize and take notes by taking out a notebook from his bag..as the language was not Engorian but Froleian the official language of this country and village. This went for the whole day.they also visited trestaurants for food and the common people clooked at them with strange eyes as it was unusual seeing a lady that beautiful and a another young man who seem to be form illustruous background together... They were all staring at the both of them , specially, Lorenya. But decided to keep quiet and tell this event back home..and just admire the view.. it was so odd that at some point Lorenya got uncomfortable and left the restaurant with Apolion as she was teaching him the names of food which made the commoners from the restaurant look at them with more confusion, so, to not cause a big trouble they left as soon as possible. Apolion thought Maybe my clothing will cause chaos so next time lets buy ordinary clothes with my hacks if Thariel really gave me one to earn money...later I will check.. Well this kept going for the whole day.exploring shops after shops and places after places... The sun was setting... ''''Ahh! It was quiet a interesting day.Even thou you were quiet mute your reactions were very funny but hope you learned something at least'''' laughed Lorenya looking at Apolion. ''''I did learn something'''' responded Apolion with frank knowledge of what she was saying with a bet if he undestrtood it corectly or no..it all depended on the answer... ''''I see, good'''' responded Lorenya to Apolion''s sentence...with a smile. ''Yes I did it'' Apolion spoke in his inner world happily. But when he looked at her smile he was awe struck one more time before quickly getting back to his senses. ''''Look, that is where you will stay. The rest is fixed, no need to worry, see you tommorow.'''' Lorenya bid farewell to Apolion as she headed away in her carriage. ''''So this is the place I am gonna stay?'''' asked Apolion to the air as he contemplated at the tavern-like apperance of the inn. Probably a typical inn perhaps..in this world as perceived by Apolion after a while, of being here in the shops. ''''Oh hey it''s you come here my Lord'' I have a room prepared for you and food to eat'''' said a feminine voice from the side and it was a woman.her gaze locked on Apolion with curiosity, but nevertheless, did what she was instructed to do by Lord Achils. ''''Ah okay'''' Apolion understood the language a bit better but he responded after a long pause of 20 seconds trying to figure out what to say and not mix the languages as a response. The woman had a long waitress dress and blond hair and green eyes with a loose hair reaching her waist too.Her beauty was less than Lorenya''s in Apolion''s perspective but she reminded him of Eliza...just more mature on the middle of her 20s and bigger breasted...at least cup D too. But suddenly Apolion felt nostalgic remembering the past one more time. ''''You look kinda depressed are you okay?'''' asked the soothing voice to Apolion... ''''I am okay.I go'''' sad Apolion with a gloomy and tired look to the room as he signalling her to lead him to the room. After finishing leading him to the room she presented herself.. ''''I forgot to tell you my introduction.I am Krisblenia Taklem but you can call me Miss Taklem or Miss Krisblenia. I am the owner of this inn and althou... I look weak and alone I got my ways to stay safe and I assure you you will fine as long as I am here.Also no worries there will be workers coming in tomorrow so it will fine.'''' Explained krisblenia to Apolion as she introduces herself with signals trying to suggest what she is saying for better understanding for Apolion. ''''Ok. Thank you very much'''' responded Apolion with a nod before entering his room. In bed.... ''''What a long and arduous day.'''' Apolion thought before going to bed to sleep by leaving his stuff somewhere and finishing checking everything he has for seeing if anything was lost. He learned a lot and traveled a lot.It was time for sweet sleep for Apolion to recover.... ______________________ Forest...where Apolion came A figure with green attires and clothes similar to what Apolion wore was present but of a green colour with a hoodie on and a high tech armour arm was attached to the figure it seemed muscular yet slim of a metallic color and black highlights... The figure was neither muscular or slim but in between...it was standing in a tree and seeing from far away-the village''s landscape- even thou it was miles..away as if it had a supernatural vision.. ''''Hoh..a village...interesting..it seems the one he told me about'''' said the figure before vanishing in a dark smoke. _______________________ Mini-world _______________ Lord Achils: Look at the good boy sleeping...*Achils was pinching Apolion''s cheek as he slept in the inn''s bed* Lorenya: Uncle I think you should stop it you are not a child you know? Lord Achils: My dear Lorenya you know I like to tease my enemies..right? Lorenia:*With curious and furrowed brows* Uncle unexpectedly swings the other way..not only that, but he also likes little boys?. Lord Achils: Of course NOT! How could I? Stop making delusions..Why you seem to side with him? What''s this Plot armour, Plot romance,Plot hacks,Retarded character love interests? Which?! *sigh* Forget it. I just did this to make sure he is sleep now my plan will be successful...even thou is kinda lame..*Pondered in deep thought* Lorenya: What''s that plan? Lord Achuils: This..* he went to grab hot water to throw at Apolion* This is what I mean..watch! Apolion: You dare to mess with me?! Your Lord?* responded Apolion the voice of Lord Maximus in a sudden rage out of bed* Lord Achils: Nice try- Lord Maximus: Pathetic you can''t recognize your Lord? *said Me still in Apolion''s appearance and blowing Achils with a punch sending him to the sky* Loreyna: Master why are you in Apolion''s form? Lord Maximus: What do you-*looks at himself* Apolion prepare to get recket like never before! You stupid creation! You dare to mess with this Lord! Apolion:* In a secret room in the palace* He...He.. Achils pay for your crimes against me...*He has paint in his face* This is the payment you have to pay after humilliating me... *A flashing thought came to Apolion* Oh My GOD Lord Maximus...is coming for me...I am dead I better run...far away as I can..i don''t wanna go to the time out corner..anymore..I thought it would go smoothly yet that damn vixen must be with him too....ruining my plans like this... *Runs away* 16 The Encounter Apolion was eating at the inn in the morning and some other customers were present in the tables around him. He was something similar to a round bread typically depicted in medieval history.But what was odd was that they were serving curry with a certain vegetable similar to onion''s taste yet it looked like red pepper. But you eat what you get. ''''Was the food good dear lord?'''' asked on of the waitresses to Apolion. She has typical maid cafe costume but very different from those of earth with just an apron and long skirt..which was quiet odd for Apolion to see in a world different than his.She had brown hair and brown eyes. Althou, Apolion pondered if the people in this planet were humans or aliens similar to humans in terms of genes as they were strikingly similar to humans. Thariel made it clear but probably its written in some place of the equipment.. ''''I am fine'''' Responded Apolion with certainty in his face.. ''''Dear Lord...Sorry for the rudeness but I was asking how was the food..? But it is good to know you are doing good.'''' said the waitress. ''''I am good food'''' said Apolion in a broken Froleian nervously and sweating as he messed the meaning up again.. ''''Ookay? I shall be going Milord..'''' The waitress bid farewell to Apolion. She thought Apolion was odd and might be a foreigner from another country that didn''t know Froleian..but what was odd is he didn''t speak Engorian as it was a global language to understand each other.. ''What a strange person'' muttered the waitress attending another client. *Sigh* Apolion signed heavily as he was trying to practice two languages at the same time...he decided to just stick with one next time...probably Froleian . As Apolion went to his room again he went to check his bag. He remembered there was a digital tablet he hasn''t used for ages. The reason he left is because Apolion was concentrated on the main training technique as he was paranoid he gonna die after Thariel''s scary statements...he thought ''Who wouldn''t be fearful of death, unless, certain reasons I guess?'' Apolion was a normal human at the beginning, well, with powers that is above an average person but the mind of a young teen but that doesn''t mean he wasn''t maturer than the average teenager. ''''Let''s start!'''' Apolion was expecting something great to happen... The tablet was similar to an imac but thinner. A blue screen showed up.And a circle where suddenly a red light appeared in the middle.It showed signs of loading.. Apolion waited 1 minute till it was complete.. And a sudden feminine robotic voice appeared out of nowhere. ''''Hello, beholder, I am your personal A.I. I am here to help you with anything you might need and questions you might ask. Beholder, please enter your name and put your finger in the screen for the analysis to be done and identity confirmed.'''' That is what came out of the tablet. Apolion was speechless for a second..''So you are telling me I was so stupid I never noticed gold in front of my stupid eyes? My life would be easier with this...Forget it..the past is past..'' Apolion did as instructed..and the voice asked a few setting to be done. ''''What shall be my name?'''' asked the A.I ''''Hmmmm, how about, Alize?'''' responded Apolion as he was typing the name since it needs double verification. ''''Thank you beholder for my name.What shall I refer to you as? Master, Host,Beholder or any other suggestions you might have?'''' asked Alize one more time. ''''Master shall be fine'''' said Apolion with a grin. ''''Yes,master'''' responded Alize. ''''For what purposes you need me?'''' asked Alize afterwards. ''''Well I need you to tell me what you can do exactly?'''' asked Apolion with curiosity. ''''Master, I can do many varied activities such as analyzing existing objects,people and data and give you a detailed information within my capabilities.I have two options to do this. Either I can attach myself to you inside your body or outside in the form of glasses to provide information and commands to be executed or provide information like this or in the form of an object either attached or I can transform into one.However, bear in mind I can''t obey or transfer any command privileges or uses from the first user..in other words master cannot make other beings take control over me as its not part of the system for security reasons, even thou it is possible forcefully it might trigger a emergency alarm to the higher realms to the order who created me.'''' Narrated Alize to Apolion carefully. ''''Awesome! Then you should attach yourself to me in form of glasses I don''t want a strange A.I inside my body for safety reasons too.'''' said Apolion with excitement.He was about to get a powerful A.I which can save him time and power giving him hacks in real life. ''''All hail the hacks!!'''' Shouted Apolion in excitement than ever before. ''''Yes, master.'''' The tablet started to metamorphose into a pair of sun glasses but with a clear lense. (Author''s note: the glasses look similar to spider-man homecoming''s gifted by iron man but not black but crystal clear..the transformation is similar to how transformers transform.) ''''This is pure gold!'''' Apolion hurriedly hold on to it and put it on his face. ''''Welcome, master. This is the form requested by you.Also any other commands?'''' asked Alize in Apolion''s mind as if it was telepathy. ''''Wait you can communicate telepathically?'''' asked Apolion even more surprised. ''''I am also powered by supernatural and natural energies such as vrilin and I can feed and get stronger through the user''s power..but you haven''t bonded with me in order to do so'''' Explained Alize to Apolion. ''''Oh alright lets bond then'''' Apolion requested. ''''Roger.Initializing. it might take 2 hours...in the meanwhile, master can do anything he wants while, I prepare for the bond but do not take off the glasses.'''' said Alize. ''''Oh okay'''' Apolion sighed one last time before going out and fixing his bag and leaving the room. He just bid farewell to the owner before..he was met...again by her.. ''''I have being waiting for you.It seems I reached in time and you coincidentally came out in time too'''' Lorenya greeted Apolion with a enthusiastic smile. ''''Oh come on...'''' Just when Apolion wanted to explore everything alone..with no one to intervene. specially with his glasses which is highly likely never seeing before..at least the design. ''''What are those strange glasses you are wearing is that a object from your culture or country?'''' asked Lorenya curiously as she came as close as she could to observe. ''''Emm'''' Apolion was more nervous than ever. Only then did she realize they are too close. ''''Ahh sorry'''' She apologized hastily. ''''Its okay'''' said Apolion with relief. ''''Never mind. Today you will learn numbers and a few other names and meaning come on let''s go to the countryside.'''' said Lorenya before instructing Apolion to go into the carriage again. Apolion sighed before going inside again and boringly wait for 25 minutes... ''Well it seems my time will lend in December but he will be here as I need to discover his strange physique as much as possible''. She was always curious about magic and the working of beings to strength herself and a way to venture the world of mysteries which fascinated her when young..she was always trying to discover the working of all that exist to maybe possibly find new solutions to problems and discover magical stuff as it was a fulfilling life for her ''''Hey. In which magic you specialize in? ''Me in elemental''... look... fire.'''' She made a magic circle appear in her hand and a little flame started burning she said the name fire a few times for Apolion to remember and get the information. ''''Ah me too'''' Apolion formed a fire out of his hand too but with no magic circles appearing. ''''Wait there is no magic circles from there and also why I don''t sense any magic being used?'''' She questioned Apolion how it worked through signals... Apolion was speechless for a second and signaled that it comes from him by pointing a finger at himself and pointing at her and making a gesture of a ''No'' to highlight that it was different. This sparked the might of fascination to once again be alive in Lorenya since she wanted to know how different Apolion was...his manner was too calm to be that of a teenagers and his mannerism more mature than the nobles she sees. Apolion was shrouded in mystery for her althou, she knew this was just a temporary request by Achils it does not mean she can explore too right? (referring to Apolion) --------- ''''Anyway, here we are..in this countryside there is quiet a view isn''t it?'''' She said to Apolion who was awestruck by the beauty of a long yellow road, humble houses of wood and bricks, and agricultural land in form of semicircles and green lands..with a mountain far away that could be seen by the colossal size and darkness with a descending waterfall... The longest he has seen in person in his life..it was foggy as they were very far ''''Fantastic'''' muttered Apolion in English. ''''Un?'''' Lorenya looked at Apolion to see what he was trying to say. ''''I mean beautiful'''' said Apolion in a panicked manner again to not mess with the language again..he was sure he got it right.. ''''Ah I see, right.Also, let''s go and visit the place''s green areas to relax.'''' Lorenya said before they got up of the carriage and started walking alone with Apolion along with her.This time she was wearing a more countryside clothing which was still filled with a dress that signifies higher ranking individual even within a village.It was plain dress with a long skirt and light blue. ''If you really don''t wanna stand out just don''t wear those clothes but nice try..from knowledge of the earth if i remember correctly it was still hard for peasants to even by high quality dresses like hers I guess..She probably is a new traveler as I realized since she seems to explore the village al thou...I am not sure how did that old man get her to teach me and also Why is she with no guards? probably a high strength there is no doubt by the magic she emanated from that fire magic I think. I wonder what ''elemental'' mean probably a type of mage or a ranking status..'' As they were exploring the village people noticed them with curiosity as she was wearing yet again another dress which as expensive but this time less striking so the gazes reduces..Apolion was wearing a peculiar jumper of a red colour and big shorts(Author''s note:Like Sora from Kingdom hearts)..He had other clothes given to him in the bag too, which, had almost infinite storage..but of course, like any other material it has a limit thou. They walked around the village with odd gazes sometimes.. They were nearing the mountain-1 hour and a half has passed. ''''You see this?'''' pointed Lorenya as she picked up a flower.. the flower was a red colour like roses and it had many layers like a rose yet highlights all round it with green and blue colours as if it was a artificial flower made by someone..it was also illuminating and shiny it had a certain smell Apolion could not explain... There was just 5 other flowers left but they were scattered around the trees they were a bit far away of the main countryside where houses were located. ''''This special flower is ceremonial flower given to someone you love and its pretty rare..there is a legend behind this but I can''t explain you this yet as you don''t know'''' said Lorenya with a sigh to Apolion. Apolion seemed to understand a little bit of what she was saying or so he thought. So he just nodded non-stop. ___________ In the mountains peak.... It was located quiet high to provide the view of the whole village. There was a tree hanging below the waterfall and another cherry-blossom-like tree in the middle. With rocks old as time itself from innumerable hardships throughout the ages. 3 silhouettes lay standing in the middle on the waterfall in black cloaks. ''''Are you sure this is the location that our lord set us and the energy you feel is beneath this disturbing mountain?'''' asked the middle figure to the humanoid individual of the left. ''''Yes, Captain, the energy of the orb is here'''' said the other figure coolly ''''Very well, lets follow as planned.The monster within should awaken but first lets finish this village off as quickly as possible or maybe chase them away it is the best solution.Also, we have to stir up confusion within the nations for the other plan to succeed.'''' ''''But regardless of this lets follow the best method our lord taught us Go!'' The two figures jumped from the waterfall while the other sat down and meditated. _____ Bang! A loud howling sound could be heard form the mountains and great winds were forming. Apolion and Lorenya observed how to figures were flying in high speed towards them. ''''Damn it why now?!'''' cursed Apolion as he took Lorenya''s hand and run as he felt hostile gazes. ''''Wait, where are we going?..Never mind..lets go but stop holding my hand!'''' said Lorenya grasping for breath as she felt killing intent swipe thorough the land. All the inhabitants of this remote part of the village panicked.Dismayal and fear was filling the atmosphere people were murmuring around the street.Houese''s doors and windows were open and people were gazing at the mountains..until... ''''People from the village of Sparcian you shall all now retreat from this land and don''t come back! Tell your Lord we shall take over the mountain and this village''s lands shall become a catastrophe after a certain amount of time... If you want to blame somebody blame yourself to be living in a such a important place!'''' The deep authoritative godly voice resounded through out the Eons in the inhabitant''s ears like piercing swords of chaos. ''''Thi- what shall we do?'''' asked one citizen around. ''''I don''t know I am scared.'''' responded another villager.. ''''Mami will I be alright I am scared..whats happening?'''' the cries of children were present. ... ''I never thought it could reach this far..let me ask them'' thought Lorenya before..going to the person above and asking through magic to increase the voice by chanting something.. She knew it was dangerous but she had to do this to understand the situation they were in... ''''Who are you? And what''s your aim?'''' asked Lorenya as she was standing on a peak of a small rounded undulating land. Apolion observed..They escaped only to be caught so quickly Apolion thought o come back and prepare a offensive since he thought its a attack but they reached faster and not only that..but they were not attacking...it seems they were saying something.. ''''We are from the Kingdom of Orelia and we will destroy that mountain and that campus you have in this area so I suggest you to scram out of our sight! This is non-negotiable..otherwise..I shall rely on violence !'''' Responded the figure. ''''Aren''t you afraid of war?'''' asked Lorenya once again... ''''No we do not care. Enough of question! Scram!'''' responded the figure before making a magic circle appear in the sky and make a shower of purple light come across all around the place..in the area where Lorenya was. ''Elemental Earth barrier''. She thought to use to defend against herself...and indeed she used it. The earth suddenly formed a gigantic barrier in the front to defend herself against the foe. With a big magic circle in the ground. Apolion immediatly went offensive to activating his armored physiology and Fire techniques activated with a circle around him and tornadoes of fire around the ground ''''Master, I have finished! You seem to be faced against an enemy let me analyses him'''' Suddenly Alize was active ''''Thank you'''' Nodded Apolion before jumping high enough with fire strenght that easly..made him jump more than 100 metres from the hill they were standing.. Apolion in his practices back in the forest used to jump and test the fire law''s technique''s abilities and see what he could do. ''''Idiot! You thought you could even come close?'''' said the cloaked man furiously while, he extended an arm to create another white magic circle to appear darkness emanating from it and shooting multiple rays of darkness. The other figure went to immediately to attack Lorenya in a flash. She dodged the sword attack made of glowing purple energy form the cloaked individual.. They engaged in combat with wind magic circles and chants and circles she was fighting him even thou the long dress could disturb her in movements in case. She immediately ripped half of the part off. The other figure kept on manifesting swords of purple glows and chants to make shields of it. Apolion used the armooured physiology''s BROKEN SHIELD an ability which allows Apolion to create a blue protective shield around him to defend itself but the special ability of it was that it is easly breakable..and when it does so. ''''Pathetic! You thought you could defeat me with that attack and defend yourself with that shield?'''' asked the figure in ridicule until.... ''''Wait what?!'''' The shield''s attack reflected itself from the shield after surrounding the shield..as it slowly broke and Apolion was falling in the ground with a smirk. Shooo! The figure immediatly dodged but was hit by the arm and leg. ''''Damn bastard! You make me angry after a long time!'''' The ferocity of the figure increased as it engaged in close combat and Apolion was dodging and attacking with fire punches. Bang! The belly of the enemy was ripped and a burned mark in its white ripped abs''s skin could be seen. ''''You!'''' Bang! Apolion recieevd another punch in the face filled with extreme brute force as if it was titanic hammer hitting him to death. ''''Ahhh!'''' Apolion was bleeding from the right side of the face.A cut could be seen and bruises present.. ''''Like this? Its called ''''Eteric strenght'''' a form of the Heavenly Emperor Eter''s techniques...'''' Lorenya who heard of the conversation was deeply shocked until she was hit in the leg by a sword which she hastily managed to dodge but caused a cut. ''''Master, this person is someone you are not an opponent to his vrillin and mana concentration is too high and its strength formidable.I have a way to escape'''' Suggested Alize after analyzing the opponents.. ''''Thank you, Alice but is there any other way?'''' asked Apolion in a worry... ''''Well, actually there is...I feel a stronger energy coming towards us...don''t you feel it too?...It''s one of the 13..if he wasn''t here then we would be in a hard situation and reoccur to extreme methods..'''' said Alize to Apolion in a serious way. ''''Don''t daydream!'''' Another hit in Apolion''s stomach was given as a consequence for distraction... The glasses immediately changed itself into goggles and attached itself to Apolion strongly and this time it provided the opponent''s data as if it was a game. The fight began once again and the opponent decided it was enough. He flew to the sky. ''''You are formidable I wanted to see how you fight as I needed to warm up a bit...It''s not arrogant it''s just I am qualified but sadly enough, you are pathetic and weak compared to me, look at your wounds...'''' the voice resounded like the devil talking to the world. Apolion was badly injured but enough o make him move...cuts and bruises covered him like decorated human gourmets. .... ''''Oi...I think you should apologize and scram out of here,...but by apology, I meant a repayment..'''' Suddenly a manly carefree voice resounded among the chaos of the fight. Apolion suddenly felt strange as if he could feel a connection of this voice...As if it was familiar..not only that but..his body was glowing..of a yellow light..and feelings emanated to him...as if this voice and presence was a ''family''..Apolion''s body felt stronger and a symbol formed in his arm..he could feel it but was covered by his jumper in the right arm. He decided to see it later...but mostly importantly if he felt this way it could be one of them...as Thariel said... Apolion out of instinct said in English... ''''Are you someone like me too?'''' A flashing figure in a dark manifestation through crows appeared in front of the fight between Apolion and the figure... ''''Who you might be?'''' asked the other figure from the sky. ''''Me? I am just a...traveler..'''' said the anonymous figure to him. It told in English to Apolion. ''''Hello, Captain..Holder of the 1st tablet ''All-round Harmonizer, we will talk after I finish.'''' Apolion was shocked but definitely a fateful encounter bound to happen or so Apolion but his power had a name? How come he didn''t know about it? ''''I heard you are threatening the villagers in the remote part..you don''t want to face the consequences do you? ''''asked the anonymous figure in green attire..with a covered face in a hood and mouth open to the light. ''''Hmp! So, It''s not like you can do anything can you?'''' responded the figure mockingly. ''''Well, actually...reinforcements are in the way the Lord is coming and you better surrender and provide an explanation.you seem to be the gang leader....Ah also fighting with a lady...what kind of man are you and your friend over there?'''' ''''Hahahah...weakling you can only bark..face the consequences I don''t like-'' He immedialty coughed blood and was instantly flown away to the back. ''''It can''t be ...I just didn''t seem him moving...Wait! where is he?'''' The cloaked man panicked. ''''Let the show begin...'''' the antonymous figure appeared behind the cloaked man and was iming to pounch him he could fly with unknown abilities to Apolion. __________ Mini-world __________ Apolion: Why was I beaten black and blue? Lord Maximus: Convenient..for the plot as well as punishments... Apolion: But you can''t just make me be beaten that badly without able to even cause the opponent serious damage... Lord Maximus: Be grateful you landed a punch...Although, readers could argue why the enemy went down to fight you when it could just finish you off from the sky well...I did it for your dignity..not only..that..but the opponent just like any other human-even thou its unknown for you their race-need some warm up and was at the time too confident in his abilities so he wanted to beat you up into a pulp but let himself...be beaten instead by a punch.. Apolion: forget it...you are helpless my Lord....*Apolion went to his bedroom in the palace depressed..* ''''Master, do you think it was a good idea...to make him suffer later on...I think its too excessive...'''' *Lorenya popped out of nowhere to ask me* Lord Maximus: Well , you might be right...I will reduce his pain but it might make him grow... Lorenya: You are just like a father...Master..but didn''t you planned on making him some strange sage...or something? Lord Maximus: I have my plans... 17 The Beast awakens ''''Let the show begin..'''' Bang! A direct karate-like hand hit the cloaked man to the ground like smashed potatoes. ''''You..you!'''' The cloaked man lay in the ground in his knees but immediately sustained himself and got up from the mini-crater filled with highlights of massive power as if it was a orange''s inside when cut. ''''Apolion be in charge that man over there against that lady'''' asked the helping figure looking at Apolion one more time before going down and engaging in hand to hand combat. ''''Got it'''' Apolion immediately jumped in between the second battle and was closely trying to hit the other figure along with Lorenya but in long range it was hard to even hit. And Lorenya needed time to chant stronger spells and stronger magic which was almost impossible for the high velocity of the moving figure. ''''Let me see how you gonna boast of your brute force'''' The helping figure immediately engaged in hand to hand combat with the cloaked man. ''''Take this!'''' The cloaked man was confident about blowing a naked brute punch on the helping figure''s face and make his face come to light only...to find out that... ''''What?!'''' The punch immediately went through the helping figure as if it was a ghost and on top of that the helping figure went through him and immediately blew him from the back with a white lightning punch with ferocious electricity running in the winds. Boom! The hit was so great that lightnings were dancing int he wind like melodies of pain as it slowly yet rapidly made the body of the individual burn and send him flying in a nearby tree breaking it in half. Blood was spilling out of his mouth. Cough, Cough! ''''How did you trespass my punch? And why didn''t I sense magic in your attacks? You seem like that boy but I didn''t pay attention since he was weak..but you''''...cough cough The villain finally got up once again, barely sustaining themselves and the legs were dizzy like noodles. ''''You don''t have to know...you only have to know that...you either will die or be taken to justice..the court of this country. You decide'''' The helping figure mentioned with no remorse and very coldly. Rumble! ''''MMM!'''' Apolion wondered where did that loud sound came from as if it was mountains falling down to the Earth. Everyone stopped fighting to see what was going on.. ''''Hehe it was successful...prepare to die..retreat!'''' the cloaked figures immediately went flying away. ''''Don''t think you can escape from here!'''' The helping figure went after them until... ''''HAAAH!'''' A deep howl of a great beast occurred within the mountain''s range. The biblical might contained made the world tremble and the sky turn grey with fearful might and winds to collapse its movements of peace to raging war against all that it sees. The feeling of cold and snow filled the atmosphere with darkness invading the vision of all that was in the area. The helping figure immediately stopped moving. And observed cautiously through his vision from far away... A monster if it was possible to call it...appeared.. a dark figure with grotesque appearance of a gigantic head round and malleable yet looking like clay and eyes red as blood and hands colossal as buildings and mouths covering its face from the bottom part and layers upon layers of teeth could be seen from the inside..like a gigantic octopus-The Kraken. Tentacles looking like tails or wood appeared the creature was seemingly stuck in the mountain and seemed to be wanting to come out.. Regardless of this fearful appearance, the cloaked men were going to the mountain..as if something ''''''Fishy is is going on with this people..the situation doesn''t look good.We have to stop that creature before its too late I sense danger.'''' The helping figure said in perplexion. ''''Hey, what should I refer to you as?'''' asked Apolion all of a sudden from the ground. ''''Call me George...George Wellfost...The reason I know your name is because Thariel told me about you and said you were the captain..yet you seem so weak. I am wondering why they chose you but nevertheless I am no one to judge we will talk about this later.'''' Lorenya watched carefully at their conversation she didn''t know which language they were talking about but strikingly similar to Engorian in terms of pronunciations. They seemed to know each other as well as just like like Apolion the emanates a strange aura.her curiosity turned to a search for mystery form the two people..They seem to be from the same country or homeland or so she thought. But never she expected that there would eb another individual like Apolion in the same village but oddly enough he knows Engorian, perphaps because he speaks Flroleian it could be inferred yet Apolion doesn''t..The mystery of Apolion is even more so..intriguing, but it could all be her fantasy and a misunderstanding..but nevertheless... ''''I see...very well then do you know whats happening in there?'''' asked Apolion in a serious tone. ''''To be honest, I do not know myself I happen to pass by..But I see a disgusting monster over the horizon in that mountain over there.But I do feel that creature is about to make a mess..we should hurry..ask you A.I to guide you through the ground I will transfer my data to you through my A.I.Mine is called Melissa..See you in the front...'''' Signaled George to Apolion before instantly going over the mountain from the sky.. ''''He has a A.I too?!'''' Apolion was perplexed. ''''Of course Master..everyone of the 13 has an A.I a self assistance for this world as sometimes it might get hard because its not a normal world.'''' ''''I have received a data transfer by another entity named Melissa.Do you accept?'''' Asked Alize telepathically to Apolion with a virtual hologram of a notification reporting a data transfer with a box within the goggles..but only Apolion could see it. ''''I accept'''' Apolion responded immediately with a look of determination. ''''Initiating'''' Alize responded as a circle bar with loading stages was present and done withing seconds. A mini-map and a guiding signal appeared to guide Apolion to the location as a video game. Apolion then went immediately running and going to the direction signaled in the front at high velocity..but was suddenly stopped by a voice. ''''Where are you going?!'''' asked Lorenya concerned but knew it was to go to that strange howl created my God Knows what in her eyes. Apolion signaled to go where it came from to her expectation. ''''I will be going to'''' Lorenya asked Apolion in a serious face and determination burning like fire. She wanted to go as she felt she needed to make the villagers safe and be at service to the country. Apolion looked at her with confusion and with deep ponder. In the end he decided to signal her to go with him. She nodded and followed him in the quest to find what''s going on.. _____________ Mini-world _____________ Apolion: Mysteries everywhere... Lord Maximus: Can you shut up already I am in the middle of writing the story. Apolion: But can you give me some spoilers so I can take advantage of whats gonna happen? Lord Maximus: You are funny..HELL NO! Scram out of my sight! Apolion: Okay okay, whatever you want Master...*sigh* George: What''s up buddy you look depressed... Apolion: Just leave me alone you are already powerful...look at me..he made me so weak yet I am the protagonist? Where are my hacks? Where is my cheats?...This is not supposed to make sense! George: Our master wants to take a more ''character development'' approach. Apolion: Blah Blah I don''t wanna hear I am out! George: Well, Listen readers..as you see I am a new character created by Master and I have come to break down to you that, your future, doe snot exist. It will only exits and will go as you go in life and the decisions you make.The future in itself does not exist but the present moment.Live the here and now and manifest the future you want, because the future...is created by you and bought to you in the present. Don''t be like Apolion...Master is trying to make his bratty character grow. Well at least, he is pretty decent in the novel. In life never ask for spoilers.Make the spoilers yourself and make it true! You dictate life! In the case of Apolion going as our master writes is because he is a slave to the narration of the story..yet he never thought to break them..we did. That''s why we are here and our characters when created..goes as the character thinks and our master''s hand will automatically write our self made decisions after creating a character since we are living people...well at least in this strange realm... I am pretty new here... Oi Achils you know where the bathroom is? Achils: * In the background eating a souvenir* In that place over there...*signaled Achils* There was a public bathroom far away from the palace ''s gates far away from clouds to clouds.. George: Well done author..Well done making me suffer to go that far away.I can''t sustain that well I have to pee badly..I think Apolion was right about Master''s evil side. 18 Disaster Apolion and Lorenya were running towards the creature''s manifestation. ''I don''t seem to be able to reach as fast but eventually I will'' Thought Apolion running in exasperation and in sweats. George''s POV... The enemy does not seem to be that ordinary.Besides that, I met the leader, he seems quiet..decent but I am wondering why his power is weaker when i thought it would be overpowered? ''''Master, the creature seems to be dangerous and I sense high amounts hostile vibrations being emanated in the environment by that creature as well as high amounts of Vrillin'''' Said a robotic feminine voice from George''s head. ''It''s fine,, we have to deal with it either way or the other..can you send a SOS signal to the others?'' Asked George in a cautious manner as he was nearing the creature. ''''Roger'''' Responded the voice. _____________ ''''Captain I successfully got the orb'''' said the figure in a cloaked form to the captain that had ripped clothing. ''''Good, now let''s vanish from here the plan was a success.'''' Said the captain before.. Watching the nearing George''s figure and company. And also taking a glance at the ever growing creature and making a sinister face with smirk.. ''''Pathetic individuals..you will all die...Let''s go'''' Those were the last words before the group of three vanished in a dark smoke like the darkest night. __________________ Omniscient narrator... ''''Master, the individuals went missing'''' The robotic voice once again told George concerned. ''''Its fine, I saw it..I am not fast enough flying but only at close distance I can teleport or sprint temporarily, but let''s focus on getting rid of that thing'''' Responded George in a serious tone to the concerned voice. The creature seems to be quiet intimidating.George was questioning reality as he have never seen something like that before.Such monstrosity was of nightmares. !? Pheeeeeew! A tail immediately was nearing George''s body, which, he immediately dodged. That was close! It seems the tails or tentacles somehow can extend itself towards the opponents. the situation doesn''t look good. At most I have to lure it in a trap after it comes out and I know just where... But I better first inflict some damage. Heaven''s Thunder''s First chapter : Holy Lightning! Suddenly the sky was turning darker like the end of the world..the biblical as if might of God was descending. Hooooaaa! The creature turned to be angry immediately opening it''s mouth and creating a sphere of light filled with rich magic energy of a violet colour with star dusts all over the circle creating a immensely gigantic attack aiming at George. This can''t go on like this! The sky''s colour turned grey like death and the great abyss was forming and George''s body was glowing and particles of light ascending to the sky in a rapid pace. A sudden lightning descended and with the speed of the lightning, George''s figure moved in the right time to make it hit his hand. He gripped his hand. Bang! Haaa! A scream of pain was resounding towards the planes of the village. George punched the eye of the creature in a flash creating immense rays of electricity to liberate themselves towards the dance of death towards the land as the light of the lightning filled the whole mountain. The great sounds could be heard through he world as catastrophic conflict as if a war God was subjugating a Titan. * ''''Did you heard that?'''' asked Lorenya in a fearful and confused manner forgetting Apolion does not know what she is saying..well not properly understand the language. ''''Hurry!'''' Apolion responded to Lorenya''s worry with single word as if implying that they have ot go to find out. The wind had being fierce as swords that in it''s catastrophic dance it blew the hood of George off revealing his melodious light brown hair and shining blue eyes like electric rays. !? A sudden colossal attack of light appeared from another its eye as if it was a giant death ray of a red star pointing at George from another side of the head as the eye had the capacity to look 180 degrees including its plus sign pupil of a dark night. However, the light trespasses through George as if he was a ghost again. ''I managed to activate my Ghostly presence in time'' Thought George as he was nervous for the first time and teleported himself much further away from the beast. Malicious howls resounded once again and the shackles of rock were breaking.The monster was coming out. No legs were present..but tentacles of wood colour.But they all looked like malleable clay. Another ball was being created from its mouth like a star of a red light was beginning to exist as if the world will witness a great judgment. ''What is it trying to do this time?'' Thought George before the creature threw it far away and obliterating a remote city or village to dust. A great supernova light explosion extended towards the sky as a nuclear bomb. George saw that with the biggest shock in his life to witness such power never seeing before.Why was it present here? What was this creature?..Who exactly were those people from Obelia planning to do?..All sorts of questions popped in George''s mind. He was determined to take it out of here before its too late.He remembers there was a great waterfall unexplored according to the map and George view it himself. Its deepness was profound and abyssal as if the a great black hole swallowing the world was trying to break its shackles and devour the world. If he managed to make it fall in there it could probably stop the creature forever..if not..temporarily to think of a solution. He had to bet it all. Since he came to this world he thought it was easy to pass all the missions and the world seemed calm and turbulent. Yet now, he realized the world was dangerous and not so simple as he expected.He was inexperienced and immature to think matter would go smoothly..this was a death game.A real one at that.The world was at chaos that quickly was something he didn''t expect. * ''''Lord Achils, sir, are you sure we should call the royal army and all the great generals!?'''' asked one soldier in a hurried manner. They were moving towards the creature''s sight.It was massive and big that it was visible towards the whole village. An army was raised by lord Achils and directly heading towards the monster but it was only a single legion. ''''Yes and hurry! This is national emergency!'''' Lord Achils responded gritting his teeth and becoming serious. ''''Roger!'''' The soldier separated himself and went to the opposite direction along with two others. ''If my memory does not fail me..I heard that there is a creature sealed within this mountain and to not be awakened by no means regardless of the situation as said by our ancestors and royalty for the past as part of the institution of the kingdom and royal order. Althou, the order had unknown reasons it holds legends in this village...about a certain Heroic Emperor named Emperor Eter..But legends are legends in the end there is no guarantee its true.'' Achils wandered one last time before immediately hurrying to the cause of the disaster that was about to befall in this kingdom. The capital was pretty close to the village. So, the army should arrive in perfect timing. _______________ Mini-world ______________ Lord Maximus: I have reached enlightment about certain matters.. Apolion: What that may be master? Lord Maximus: Well I call this the ''Dao of the writer'' Everyone- Apolion, Lorenya ,George , Achils: That''s odd! Lord Maximus: very well, let me explain..in my mediation sessions after my sadness of no comments..I was wondering in my mind till..God came to me.. It told me i will always be with you..watching over all creation..eternally..it is like that..it will be like that..it was like that And then.. I realized that writing is a passion a work of your life''s task a power to create worlds to wander..worlds to explore ideas to spread..many many things. ''Let the world taste my stories as thousand stories flow..let the world change into a fantasy land..Let the world follow the melodies of those hearts that follow their purpose and passion as that is an act of creation in itself'' So I realized the Dao of the writer is divided into three sections and 2 paths. The four section: Blood-The energy to write..and the power to write..regardless of what it is..hands,feet,legs, computer...anything Sweat-The work and motivation.The energy of a burning fire within that your body will sweat itself. Thought-The will and imagination..The bigger you imagine the bigger the heights. Language: The language to write the effects you put and the way you put and express. The person who master this..shall become world''s top tier writer..an elite indeed passed down to legends. ...Everyone: Woahhhh Lord Maximus: Okay, enough.. I have to eat its dinner time..bye *snaps fingers* Apolion: Wait what about the paths? Lord Maximus: comment if you wanna know.. To be continued... 19 Unexpected ''''Your majesty, a report has arrived from the village of Sparcia!'''' A messenger with plain clothing but a luxurious touch came in front of the rectangle-like table in its sides. He has a cape and a symbol in his chest of a creature like a Lion with tiger marks in its face surrounded by a shield in silver decorations. His hair was long reaching to the shoulders only and had a pony tail of a brown fur. ''''What is it this time!'''' Asked a grave voice far from the table surrounded by ferocious and calculating stares from the intimidating atmosphere. ''''Your majesty, Lord Achils is in trouble and requests the Royal army and the national generals to come immediately. It''s a national emergency!'''' The messenger flat out said as he put a serious face with his usual bow to a King, while, at the same time looking at the ruler with his silver eyes. ''''What!?'''' The men in the room were in an uproar. All shouted in disbelief. ''''A national emergency?! At this stage of time? If its Achils...The situation does not look good!'''' A man sitting down in a golden spiky yet towering throne far from the messenger was pondering deeply as he sat in distress. He had a cloak surrounding his body of an azure sky color and highlights of golden ornaments of fire. His face old yet young. A man of his mid 30s. A face of a war veteran with a scar in his right eye reaching towards his cheek. His face showed strong power. The power of a king. ''''Your, majesty I suggest we should go immediately as Achils is a trusted individual, however, we should leave half of the Royal troops here in case anything happens'''' Highlighted a man sitting in the right side along with other men in a cool manner as he put his glasses on after cleaning them and looking at the king in a serious yet relaxed manner through his emerald green eyes. ''''I agree with the four eyes'''' Another grave voice resounded in the left side, however, he seemed to look down upon the man in the right yet agreed with him with a rising brow trying to maintain eye contact through his fiery red eyes and touching his silver hair in confidence. A robust man and more ripped than most here as it could be seeing through his arms gigantic yet thin muscles showing off from his plain clothing and cloak of a red color. ''''What about the rest of you?'''' The ruler asked in authoritative voice to all the men in the table. He seemed even more distressed than ever if there was a disagreement in a possible national emergency. He was even touching the back of his head covered in orange hairs in way as if, it was a pain-in-the-ass. ''''Let''s go!'''' A figure covered with a long snow-white cloak and a hoodie covering his face, smoothly and coolly without a care in the world. The rest of the dark men got up along with him. ''''The matter is settled then! We must put a strong front against the other kingdoms in this moment. Artheo you stay here and be guarding the capital. I am going too.'''' The King was determined. He didn''t get to fight for a long time. Now many citizens might die and a catastrophe was coming. He was wondering what to do and in a conflicting mind attempting to calm himself down as much as he can.But he could not. His heart palpitated with worry and panic. He barely maintained his composure. His never-ending thoughts were flooding him. The world was in a disaster already. Yet another disaster strikes the world once again. In his world. His kingdom. ''''Yes, your majesty'''' Another man in the left side with tall bearing said as he got up from the chair. His face invisible and covered by the shadows in the room''s corner that he was in. He was extremely stressed in the meeting regarding the contest of the ''Phantom winter'' and he now had to deal with event that could destroy the nation in itself. ___________ Fooooo! Geroge got out of the attack immediately after the lightning strike from his hand. ''It will cause enough damage I believe to weaken it.'' Though George to himself as he was wondering in the sky while the vapor emanating from the strike dissipated into nothingness. Pewwwwwwww! !? George saw it coming at him millimeters close to him. A red laser penetrated through George in an instant from the supposed damage. The sky formed halos of clouds around it as it went upwards like a thrusting sword towards the heavens. * ''''Did you see that master?'''' Alize asked in concern towards her master. Apolion watched with fear as he thought something happened to George. ''''Master, I lost the signs of the A.I Melissa and Mr. Welfost''s location'''' Alize said in a worried manner. The one thing he feared happened. ''Could George just have. Died? Just like that?'' Apolion was shocked and intrigued. A single attack and a person as strong as George are finished. His heart raced like engine in heat. The majestic attack left Apolion shaking of fear and despair. His sweat coming like running bullets made it worse for him to concentrate. His mind was chaotic. They had arrived close to the creature to be able to see the visible monstrosity and terror of hell. The lakes were evaporating and clouds of magnifying horror filled the atmosphere with darkness of pure white death flags. No legs or limbs were present below. But could not be seeing for the blinding might of the hellish white smoke. ''What is that?'' Apolion was stuck and paralyzed in his place. He looked at its eyes. Magnetic. As if it was going to seduce him to die. Lorenya looked with awe and panic. This was something she never expected, not even in her nightmares, to exist. She sensed death and danger emanating from the creature. ''What a monstrous magical energy. What kind of magic is that?'' Lorenya pondered as she watched with intrigue and fear. ¡­.. ''''Master, I got a transfer from George after the incident giving us a map with the instructions to lure it it a certain waterfall in the forest 100 miles away.'''' Alize told Apolion with total seriousness and worry for her master in her voice. !? Apolion was snapped back to reality from his thoughts by the voice of Alize. But he was calmer as he thought of the emergency features to survive. ''George surely would not die so easily.'' ''Alize, then, give me the map! And we shall go and lure it there. It seems to be the place I was before!'' Requested Apolion in a hurry with dead serious face. ''''Master is right. Mr.Welfost might have survived the incident. But here you go master. I will give you a directive guidance towards the location.'''' Alize told Apolion coolly before immediately transferring data and creating holographic map beside Apolion and making the world digital as if it was a videogame. A directive sign in the form of a small arrow. In the left side of him. All this was visible to Apolion only from his eye. ''Wait! How you know I was thinking of the emergency features?'' Asked Apolion as he was preparing to go out and attract its attraction. But the creature seems to be tired and in a regenerative position as its eyes are closed and red energy was coming to its tails in form of sparkles of red stars form the surroundings. It might even be an attack. They had to prepare. ''''I can read your mind. But if you do not wish to, I can activate another feature to only read your mind for commands by saying my name. Or just do voice commands or I can keep the current feature. But to distinguish me I suggest to add another code name next to my name Alize in the mind so I can detect it as a confirmation of giving commands or reading the mind if necessary.'''' Said Alize as fast as she could but in a pace Apolion could catch. ''''Ah I see, well. Alize zero is the code name for commands and the sorts. Anyway, let''s do this. But first I have to get Lorenya out of this.'''' Said Apolion determined. Apolion made gestures for Lorenya to go. ''''You go'''' Apolion said with seriousness trying to explain her to go. ''He is telling me to go? I won''t without you. I feel like he is going to do something crazy if I leave him here, this is not the time to play hero. I have to get him out and run for help I can''t just leave him here.'' Though Lorenya before forcefully trying to drag Apolion by the arm. Apolion resisted with determination and was not trying to go. ''''Huh?'''' Lorenya was confused. * ''''Lord Achils! I see that the monster. Its grotesque beyond Neroilean imagination.!'''' A second in command captain said to lord Achils from ahead as they were running with horses. But those were horses of a different colors to those of Earth. Some were purple while others green but other had strange tails such as one coming with spikes as sharp as nails.it was part of the body biologically. They were running from the mountain and descending while the Second in command soldier was going far away to give direction. ''''I got it, Guide us quick! Mages be ready!'''' Achils wanted to hurry as much as possible to prevent any damage to the citizens and crops. It is plain winter and the snow will fall after few days yet now a disaster strikes. They had to solve this. Otherwise, it will bring heavy consequences to the kingdom and that monster might even annihilate the entire kingdom. ________ Mini-world ______ Lord Maximus: Well, I want to take you to the world of authors. The place where your master comes from.While, the rest stay here. It''s between me and this guy. *I said as I tell to the people, I created Apolion and company* Apolion: For what is it? Lord Maximus: Well, Let''s go and take you there for exploration and getting to know the world.For the others I will take them after you. Apolion: Sure. But they seem to have fun...*Apolion looked at his companions having fun in the beach. Achils put the middle finger at Apolion while surfing in faraway wave* We were on a beach for a short break. ( Auhtors note: well since we needed a break of course) Apolion: Watch Achils! Watch...keep on surfing...maybe a shark will come to you. Lord Maximus: Don''t bother. Let''s go. It''s to a special palace for authors I found in the street in my everyday life. ¡­... Apolion: Master.It seems to ordinary..except that strange rabbit I see over there. Well, if it could even be called a rabbit. It''s the everyday guard I meet at times and the supervisor. *Apolion pointed at person with rabbit clothing with orange colors like the fruit itself and a hoodie on* Lord Maximus: This is the world of authors there is weird people everywhere. Just let him eat the carrot that he is eating and don''t make any- *Apolion without further notice went to the rabbit costume* Apolion: Mister, may I know why are you eating a carrot, while, guarding the gates of this museum with ten guns on the back? Rabbit guy: Well, I am the supervisor of this area. Also, I help my Master..Botto-san. *We were in a high street were people were coming in and out as well as walking by. There were green trees outside too* ( Auhtor''s note: I won''t be descriptive as people might complain unless you want it..next time.) Apolion: Who is Botto-san? * Curiously asks* Rabbit guy *while stroking his blonde hair*: Well she is queen of all the bots and robots in this world. She is my queen! She regulates this palace you see here. Apolion: Master, is he out of his mind? * Apolion sneakily came to me as I was standing and thinking if I should go there or no, as now that think about it, I could explore another place. While, I left Apolion to wonder around since he doesn''t listen at times* Lord Maximus: Well. To be honest. Not even I know exactly what he finds attractive of her. But forget it. Weird people have weird likes. Botto-san is basically a strange robot created by some dudes for protection. And regulation. But this idiot adores her. He probably doesn''t realize or doesn''t want to accept the fact that its ...not a good relationship to hold. And it won''t be during long.*sigh* Rabbit guy: I heard that! Lord maximus: rabbit go back to your hole. Also, its none of your business what I think! This lord will grant you death if you ever offend me. Rabbit guy: I am not a rabbit!..Wait...You got that part a bit right. But I am human Rabbit!. And how dare you mock me?! My name is not rabbit either. It''s the great RABBITCOl!! Lord Maximus and Apolion simultaneously: How original... Apolion*with a poker face*: I bet it''s made up Rabbitcol: You dare to make fun of me? You don''t want to go the blacklists do you? Lord Maximus: My importance is greater than your mere mortal being and insignificant influence in this community. Do you think you are all high because you got the favor of a lame Robot? Keep dreaming. But without other authors in this palace. You would not be no one as this palace would be nothing. You would not be able to get to know this place in the first place! Rabbitcol: You you!..you will pay for this! -Bow down quickly idiots!- !? A voice resounded through the air..it was feminine and similar to a childs... *A figure descended in the ground. She had white silver hair. Brown skin like she had a tan bath. And yellow eyes. With a hat of a general. And clothes of a female marine in white.her body was like a 12 year olds* It said : It''s me the great Fify! Now give the secret formula to your palace''s divine engine! And nobody gets hurt! She demanded. Apolion: Master, what divine engine?! Lord Maximus: hmmm...Its kind ridiculous how she suddenly appeared out of nowhere. And looking at us with those yellow eyes of a shark as if it wants to kill us. Yet...I can''t take her..seriously. Look at her! That mini-revolver is ridiculous its look like a toy! Apolion: That wasn''t the answer to my question! Fify: Now, now..Ribbitcol...long time no see. Now give me the formula obediently or I won''t activate the bombs I put around the park inside each tree..to make it fall...Which will activate in 20 minutes.! Also, you stranger with the black armor. Don''t think you gun escape the might of my gun! It can penetrate armors as easy as pie. Now bow down and say sorry that you said those words to this great. Rabbitcol: Like really? We met just yesterday. Also, I told you I don''t have the formula but I know where it is. You you...went to this extent, to even hurt common citizens for it! You there with the armor. help me in this! Don''t listen to her. Lord Maximus: Are you guys idiots? First of all, she just spurted out he location of the bombs and the timer. Second, you rabbit boy spilled out that you know the location...are you guys really this stupid? ¡­.. *Silence filled the atmosphere* Rabbitcol: You. Have a point. Fify: Too smart to live. Die! *She shot a bullet to my armor* Lord maximus: Is that everything you have? I will spank you and make you go back to your mama crying. You better behave kid. Stop messing with toys. Fify: How this could be? I am not a kid I am 17! Lord maximus: Whatever, now, scram out of here before it gets worse. Fifey: As if! Look at this thing! With this, now, I will blow up the palace. As the bombs in the trees apart from exploding and harming around the palace will diminish its reputation of a safe place. It triggers other bombs around the palace too. See the perfect plan. Muahahaha..wheihuhehe. *She laughs her hearts off as she shows a remote controller in her hand in the size of a palm* Apolion: What a weird laugh... Lord maximus: What thing? You mean this? *I have it my hand now* Fify and Rabbitcol: How you did that?! Lord maximus: Extreme telekinesis. It is what happens to idiots who are unprepared. You are not suited to be a villain. Go back to mami now. Otherwise I am afraid ''strange people'' like Rabbitcol might come for you to do very, very...''naughty stuff''. Rabbitcol: I heard that! Lord maximus: Now get out of here, otherwise, I will seriously report to the police. I don''t want to cause trouble in this mortal realm. Fify: You will pay for this! Lord Maximus:..Ah..again with that line. I don''t know how many times I have heard it. Well it''s your time to go. But if you want you can come to palace with us for a view. After all, I think I bullied you too much. Fify: *Goes on her knees* I planned This for so long...just to end it here. Lord maximus: I don''t want to hear your sad background. Go home or enter. Rabbitcol: Do you think I will let her pass? Lord Maximus: *Gives carrot* Look at the people around some even are looking at us strangely for the stupid screaming''s of you people. The carrot is a token for Apolion throwing your away and Also let me pass for free too this time. That carrot is extracted from divine carrot world. Yes, that one you dreamed about. Don''t ask how I got it. Well Apolion let''s go! We will get some editing done and get tools and inspiration from here. Fify: wa..wa wait! I am going too. Lord maximus*Ponders a bit*: Fairs. Well, let''s go then.Having another person in the convention is not an issue. *As Lord maximus and Apolion were going and Rabbitcol eating his carrot like a mad man..there was something sinister in Fify* Fify: ??Hmph...Pathetic..you let yourself be too merciful. With this, I will spy your abilities and get information maybe..i can steal your powers or get similar powers to you or even better...even if I can''t I might get the secret formula in the process...Hehhe'' *Thought Fify as she entered along through the stairs* 20 The Trap to the Beast. ''I am going'''' Apolion told Lorenya with determination. ''''This...'''' Lorenya was speechless and clueless about what to do. She knew that what Apolion was going to do is dangerous. He was a foreigner. He had no attachment to the nation yet he is doing a service unconsciously or consciously, even if it''s out of goodwill. Apolion let go of her arm and rushed to the creature forming a fire punch. Ferocious fire''s striking fall This was one of the techniques in the Omni-fire law''s techniques. A burning light appeared circulating as a tornado in Apolion''s arm and it filled the atmosphere with undulating lasers of fire going using a hurricane''s destructive dance. As Apolion jumped he hit the creature''s tail with ruthless might making the flames extend towards the surrounding skin like fires of a devastating explosion. Malicious howls resounded once again in the void and surroundings of the lands. A tailed immediately was trying to hit Apolion but he dodged and shoot another one of his skills at its head as the monster opened his eyes with fury. Shoo! ''That as close.'' Apolion thought carefully. ''''Does he have a plan? He does not seem panicked'''' Lorenya watched carefully but was not sure of what to do. She decided to step in after the army has arrived as she was not confident that the creature is vencible by only two people. As Apolion got the attention of the ruthless monster. He run and dodged the attacks in a dance for life against the tails like a videogame. ''''Be careful!'''' Lorenya also decided to bump in by shooting fire ball at the creature. ''''Thank you'''' Apolion gave his gratitude before dashing out in the western direction where trees were present to indicate the creature to catch him if he can. There is a chance this might not work. Since, it might be in a different state such as recharging afetr that blow to George. But to Apolion''s luck it moved towards him. ''''Its cha-'''' Lorenya couldn''t finish her sentence until a man shouted from behind her. ''''March!'''' Voices of ferocious warriors came from her back immediately arriving t the scene with armoured soldiers. And effectively Lord Achils. ''''That thing is definitely out of our expectations, Lorenya, you did well, especially that boy. But what''s he doing?'''' Achils signed and responded cautiously and in confusion. ''''I don''t know! He might be trying to lure it to somewhere.'''' Lorenya hurriedly explained the situation to Achils. ''''This. Wait! Luring if? But where? We will just contain the creature here it will become dangerous since we don''t trust that boy. He might have done something out of goodwill but it''s too dangerous and suicide. Men! And mages attack!'''' Achils responded to Lorenya''s worries with determination. Mages flying in the sky came. They were wearing a typical wizarding clothes as the focused their strength on the tails by shooting various amounts of elemental attacks. Forming rainbows... ''''Oh shoot...they are already attacking...could the plan just be useless?'''' Apolion watched midway of his running and thinking. ''Master, I think we should watch for now. If it gets bad let''s just go with your plan. But the problem will be to convince them. I will try to analyze body languages and environment to come up with language words...it might take time.'' Alize responded calmly. ''You could do that? Forget it, let''s watch for now...'' Apolion signed to then sate at the fight. He waited and watched for approximately 15 minutes. Carefully to not miss anything. It was a life and death battle. Many might die. !? ''Wait a minute!... Why is it regenerating and becoming stronger? I see the tails getting bigger and its figure producing an immense amount of energy. I feel if. I don''t know-how. Alize do you know anything?'' Apolion was seriously concerned. The men fighting with swords and magic were being tired as they fought for a while, yet it was becoming stronger and attacks becoming stronger... Lasers shooting from its eyes and mouth in form of death rays of bright star colours. ''Master, I think we should lure it. It can become problematic.! Also, help is arriving although it''s one. Person.'' Alize said in a worried manner again. ''Another of us?'' Apolion asked with curiosity. ''Yes, but for now master I recommend to focus and not ask questions. Leave it till the calamity has passed.'' Alize warned. ''I agree'' Apolion sent his last mental message before dashing once again. ¡­. ''''Hey. I have a solution!'''' Apolion suddenly bumped in the middle of the fight declared broadly. ''''What?!'''' many questioned why there was a youngster out of nowhere saying that he had a solution. And what was he doing here in the first place? Lorenya''s behaviours could be explained because of her background and power and personality and Achils knew her well...but Apolion?...many officers and soldiers questioned the veracity...of those words. ''''What is it?'''' Achils asked with desperately. The situation was getting worse and some men were killed and crushed. Any solution was fine. But he decided to believe him this once. ''''Go to the waterfall!'''' Apolion told loudly to Achils and company. He was speaking as Alize guided him with stored language knowledge and analyzing for more knowledge and words. ''''Waterfall?... Don''t tell me!'''' Achils realized in a flash that there was a remote waterfall as deep as an abyss and unexplored. But the way Apolion was signaling to make it go there indicated that they had to lure it in there. Either he knew something as he came from there or it could be a perfect spot to make it fall and eliminate the danger temporarily or forever. Questions were left for later. The soldiers looked confused. The officers were in deep thought but at the same time trying to combat the ferocious attacks that were like raining meteors. ''''Men, while, the Royal army arrives we will lure it to a waterfall I know. Also, one of you come forwards and stay here to advise the army to follow us too and see what we can do the further we take it away, the less the danger and damage to the country.'''' Achils shouted to his men with confidence. ''''Raiger! Sire!'''' A man got away from the battle and went to another direction with his horse and waited in a long hill..The army could be seen from the hill and it was groups of legions and some men flying. ''''Boy! You did well. If we survive this calamity, I will repay you as much as I can.'''' Achils shouted to Apolion and asked him through his veteran eyes to guide them. Apolion without further waste of time started to shoot a ball of fire at the creature and run with might and the other magicians were and the men flying were with Apolion and watching him from below and guiding the small legion of Achils to lure the creature. ''''Hmm..that boy is very strange. His Magical ''Tenzi'' is very low...but where does he get his abilities from?'''' A middle-aged man flying above Apolion looked at him with wonder through his emerald green eyes and bald head with an intimidating moustache. ----- ''''Generals we are arriving at the scene but the monster seems to be going away so hurry up!'''' The Ruler shouted as he flew and the horses of the men were becoming faster and energy emanating from the white horses filled with glows of shiny specks of dust...were flying above them. It showed they were faster. ''''My dear, Sulkhan! There is someone at the hill I see..it is from Achil''s army. I shall head over to see what he has to say'''' A general looked at the Sulkhan, the ruler of the nation with worry and tension. ''''Go and get the information, be quick and also lend them a hand and ask them for the plan if they have one. Its magical Tenzi is not normal. Its abomination that not even I have witnessed through countless battles.'''' The Sulkhan signed before looking at his troops and guiding them and maintaining his guard. ------ ''''My Lord we have achieved your wishes.'''' The man in the middle bowing down form a group of three were looking at a figure. A giant throne and dark armour covered with cloaks and clothing hide it like a cocoon. The only bits shown are his shoulder''s spiky metals coming out and legs of a dark metallic glow of silver. A face unknown. ''''Well done, but...they have arrived. The incident of the fire boy and that strange green individual..it will give us a problem. Luckily, I have prepared everything for the time. Never expected them to come that quick. Impressive... '''' A deep voice spoke with cooling the room with chilling and piercing might as if unfolding one''s sins with ruthlessness in the day of judgement. ''''My lord, does that mean they have arrived?'''' The man in the middle contemplated why that green person was so strong. But nowhere near his lord of course. At least for now. ''''Yes.I will give the next order later. Get out of my sight for now...also take your rewards. You should know where they are.'''' The voice emanated indifferently telling them to get away from the room. The men agreed and went away. ''''Very impressive... Such quickness and power levels being that high... especially for a human, that has its power genes dormant for so long...as a species. Worthy is it called the 13 Tablets of the Dark-Light world ¡­ ¡­. But I will get my lost tablet...back. Since you so joyfully sent all of them to me..let me Be mine. The game begins Metatron! 21 Various thoughts. ''''I have seeing something strange'''' Soldiers murmured between them as the royal army came closer. ''''I will head over first and Faotil and Renlil come to me and let''s go!'''' The Sulkhan commanded before dashing at full speed towards the area that had been damaged and the creature slowly moving. ¡­ ''''Uncle Achils are you sure his plan will work?!'''' Asked Lorenya intrigued with fear in her voice as she was running with a horse along with Apolion in another horse. Apolion was given a horse after he kept running like a mad man as he was too slow and can''t fly even if he had remarkable abilities. But neither could Lorenya. .. The creature started to increase its speed and tried to attack but the tails were evaded as they tried to hit the men and the soldiers retaliated with sword attacks. But the monster seems to get stronger and stronger. But strangely enough Apolion''s attacks didn''t increase this power. Which was quiet odd. Apolion barely showed Magical Tenzi in his body. This was unexpected and a strange phenomenon they haven''t heard before. .. Apolion signalled if it could go faster and how long it would take. He wasn''t expecting them to understand sometimes. ''''When?'''' Apolion said with his Floreian vocabulary. Achils instinctively replied with a hand with three fingers and saying three. ''''Master, he is implying 3 hours'''' Alize told Apolion with certainty. ''''Ah I see. Well then, I have to ride for a long three hours. Sigh..'''' Apolion signed one last time before going and concentrating in his horse. He never rided one. It very hard at first and he eventually adapted quickly as Apolion was genius in adapting to situations since childhood. --- ''''So it''s like this?'''' The Sulkhan signed and watched as the creature departed. And its speed increasing. ''''Tell half of the troops to be stationed here the other half of 50,000 follow me'''' The Sulkhan commanded before waiting and telling the two generals to go with them and inform the army has arrived. The Sulkhan had received the situation''s full details from the soldier sent by Achils. --- ''''The situation didn''t look good at first but we might be able to survive this calamity'''' The Sulkhan looked one more time before sending off his two generals. And waiting for his army to arrive in about 10 minutes. ¡­. A secret chamber surrounded by a gigantic altar and seats around a big round table filling 12 people was present. The world was dark. The cloaks had a symbol with them in the form of a star and circle. It contained complex drawings included. It was behind the back of all the covered individuals. ''''So he made his move?'''' Asked the person in the middle coldly. ''''Yes, but it seems he successfully took the orb. It will be problematic. We should send more troops and increase the campaign to demoralize his people and increase our morality in our pawns and vessels to defeat it. He is a dangerous man.'''' Another figure responded with certainty. ''''We...should be aware of our mission and we must do everything to achieve it. The world is nothing but a corruption for us. They are so pathetic they don''t realize they are eating themselves. Let them rot kukuku..they will be soon ended to benefit for this world..They need us. They will never know we did them a favour...kukuku'''' A figure laughed in satisfaction in one of the seats. ''''That comes later, we will let the world experience...oneness..that''s our aim...but to do this we must create peace'''' Another figure replied. ''''But peace...what is peace?...We want oneness. Oneness will create true love...once again! But. All that is dark is needed for that. Darkness is your teacher. To reach the light. People should feel pain and disaster to reach greater enlightenment. To reach the light. Embrace the darkness. Don''t confuse our aims Londier! Peace is not oneness...oneness is peace ! The main figure responded with a severe tone to the one that spoke. Everyone suddenly became quiet. ''''We hold the truth. Heroes are needed...Messiah..are saviours.. But what is a hero? What is a messiah? None that matters. The world needs inspiration. We are holders of the key. .. We are... The HOLDERS!'''' _______________ Mini-world _______________ Apolion: So, the bad guys now came? Didn''t you tell me a new pal will come master? Lord maximus: Well yet. But I changed plans as I was busy trying to manifest something with my powers. Creating stuff as author takes time you know? Apolion: Maybe. Well at least today is quite calm. In this. Beach, I guess? *Said Apolion as he looked at the window watching a beach and people enjoying themselves. * Lord Maximus: Well just go and chill it''s sunny already. This a VIP beach you know? So you can have the so desired...'' beach scent''. Although I can''t enjoy sadly enough. Apolion: Really? I am out! *He jumped out of the window* .. Lord Maximus: If I had the chance to enjoy like Apolion...No..I have to concentrate to exchange short term pleasure to long term respect. I won''t stop here. I will enjoy eternally afterwards... *Keeps writing the next events in the story* 22 Divine wind Three hours passed and the troops and Achils were going towards the waterfall. It was very close and The terrain was plain but filled with rocks. ''''Sure that monstrosity is definitely fast indeed'''' One of the soldiers highlighted in awe and fear. ''''Not for long'''' Achils responded with nervousness and sweat dripping down his face. A great waterfall with majestic in size and might. The wind passes with calmness but disturbed by the creatures howls and marching of warriors with iron and sweat. The water flow in harmony and the sun looked at the liquid mirror from the laming flowing river ending in a great hill. A Hill deep and big as if a meteor has ripped the earth in two. ''''We shall let it fall here troops spread but make it come there.'''' Achils shouted and the men began to do manoeuvring. --- ''''I will wait here..it might disturb the plan but if it gets worse....'''' The Sulkhan looked at his men to prepare and stay hidden for a while to wait for any failure or something bad happens. He didn''t want to disturb in a such a critical situation and mess the plan.he was watching what would they do. Even thou he would guess what was happening. ----- ''''Attack!'''' With a shout, many men were attacking the creature to lure it in the waterfall. Elemental attacks of fire and lightning were more prevalent and with water elements out of a river flowed to block the attacks from the tails towards the men. The battle was ferocious and some of the men were told to move towards the waterfall.The abyssal mouth was ready to swallow a great being. As the creature came closer it noticed the massive great aperture and immediately turned and were concentrating on its tails to attack the men and a lot of men of dozens were flown away and some died int he process. Blood spilt. And many were broken in mind and soul. Others had limbs broken and cries of men in despair resounded. The attacks got stronger as more attacks were given. ''''Not good! attack!'''' The Sulkhan flew immediately and attack the creature with a great black sword made of a golden colour to its tails to cut. With this shout, many men appeared and the generals came to see the view. ''''The royal army has come!'''' Many soldiers were cheered but they were still fearful if they had survived the catastrophe. Two tails were cut like sausages in a dining table. But suddenly new tails were regrowing and with a speed never saw before, the tail hit the Sulkhan with great might. A crater formed in the ground. ''''This is nor normal. Why does it increase its power? It''s as if magical attacks make sit stronger.'''' The Sulkhan complained as three with clocked bodies came. As they were about to reveal their faces. Shoo! A sudden disturbance in the wind had been created and A great vortex that cut the air in half was created with massive wind speeds like pushing walls were pressed against the people who were hardly resisting it. A green light surrounded the monster as if little specks of dust of green energy were emmited like broken papers. Suddenly... Out of the twelve tails. Six were immediately cut in a ray of energy and light with wind crushing the waterfall''s surroundings with catastrophic damnation. The rainbow green and red colours were formed and red blood energy was emitting from the tails. The red glows and green energies once again cut a great portion of the creatures bland and plain chest like cut jelly. But this time the regeneration didn''t seem to be happening. A figure suddenly descended from above. A young individual with a Horihakama clothing but legs with metallic iron glowy armour. A katana with an open sheath was present with green glows filled with red specks of dust was present. As he held it with one hand beneath his legs. The wind surrounded him like dragons in fury. A face with young and fresh pale and glowy skin. Black abyssal eyes and dark hair as shiny and dark as the night itself. The flag of the Great Imperial Japan was present from his back. A rising sun with a round shield having a Fox was there. He looked robust yet his face was young and his dead eyes looked carefully in silence before looking at the men bellow and meeting Apolion''s eye directly. -- ''Ranry¨± ten no kamikaze'' The first technique of the ''7 Arts of the Heavenly wind''. A technique the young individual no young than Apolion thought in his mind as he watched in silence to see the effectiveness of this attack. His face was expressionless. But he didn''t seem to care about anything yet he gave off the aura of an ally. Apolion and his vision were met and they watched each other from the distance to see the connection they obviously knew was related to the powers given by Thariel. ''''That was...indescribable...'''' Apolion muttered in awe as the glows of the both colours created a beauty filled with the dance of the winds of death and the howls resounded. While, everyone watching with awe and confusion at the youngster all eyes were focused on him. ''''How is that possible..'''' The Sulkhan saw a great power emanating from the mysterious figure. His long dark hair dancing in the wind like natural friends was highlighting a dark lord has come.But there was something strange. His eyes.They have never seen those type of eye before.Could he be a person from an unkown race? The people from Neirol wondered to such an anomaly expect Apolion as he knew this person was Asian. A quiet possibly from the land of the Great Imperial Japan from his world. ''''Renjishinku Shinatsuhiko'''' The youngster muttered indifferently and cooly with an expressionless face very loudly to Apolion before, concentrating his vision on the monster with ruthless intent coming from his eyes. ''''Wait did he just say Renjishinku?'''' Apolion heard that name in his world multiple times as he was into politics and sometimes in the news. Specially japanise ones. Could he be...'''' ------------- Mini-world ------------- Lord Maximus: Hmm let me see what we have for today... * As I was watching my Ero novel secretly disguised as a magazine while my creations play in the beach with other people someone came* ''''Hello sit, you mind some potatoes from potatotopia?'''' *A man with a swimsuit and few drinks and a mashed potato with decorations in it for maybe, scams.* Lord Maximus: No thank you. Waiter: But sir... Lord maximus: hell no scram out of my sight puny mortal. Waiter: yes...ye... yes.. *He nervously and fearfully left* Lord Maximus: See guys? Be like me. I think this armour is too heavy I will take it off later after I finish. You guys don''t deserve a face reveal yet. But the main point is. Do long-term suffering instead of short term pleasure such as certain human relationships we enjoy...That way no stupid people will go around chatting rubbish about you. but look at those puny short-term pleasure individuals.. Sigh.. 23 The End of the disaster After this feat was done by the silent figure.He descended towards the ground in slow motion before signalling the other to attack from the back. Everyone nodded. They knew he was an ally and since is strong enough they could push back the creature from behind. ''''Hmmm?'''' He observed the creature was making another attack.The same one used against George. An immediate light penetrated the turbulent winds before aiming at the youngster with deadly might. ''''Pathetic.'''' He dodged the attack in a flash as if he teleported before using another ability. ''Sen''nokaze no ten no katto'' Heavenly cuts of a thousand winds Suddenly thousand slashed of winds were formed to aim at the head. Bang, Bang, smooh! A rainbow of attacks formed in beautiful broken specks of dusts with each cut cutting deeper. .. ''It was already weakened by someone. That attack..its like a burning immense fire has fried it.It was heavy..who would have done that attack? If it''s George I wouldn''t be surprised but that one over there..I highly doubt it..but he might have hidden tricks and powess...'' He carefully observed the head to find a great wound and a burned neck that had veins sticking out trying to regenerate but it was slow. One eye from behind was smashed into a pulp like a tomato It was the same place George aimed before which damaged both the eye and neck. ------------- Apolion''s pov ------------ I heard that name before. He was from the royal Imperial family that resides in Japan. Although it does not govern the country completely. It has immense power. A clan to be feared with. This family is very mysterious and only come out when needed. They possess extreme martial arts feats showed in public in some cases from some members. But conspiracy theories on the internet said that they were from supernatural origin or stuff of the sorts. I bumped upon them mostly from the internet. Never saw one in real life. But that surname..is identical to that family. I am not sure whenever this guy is of royal blood or someone that happens to have the same surname as them. That family is said to possess special genes that allow them to perform superhuman feats which was a scientific discovery proven by ''The scientific world congress.'' The blood and DNA however, is heavily guarded or destroyed to prevent any fake samples of blood etc... Nothing else was said about them form along time. It is not even said which superhuman feats apart from martial arts. Most, say the superhuman feats is leaked information. I will question him later. It will give me a headache if I keep like this. Focus. --- Omniscient narrator. --------- The creature was being dragged by the attacks but also regenerating. The said japanise youngster saw the regenerating ability. As the creature was being dragged it gave a big howl before attacking everyone with the legs..but the generals stepped out and blocked it with their shields and decided not to attack as it might make it stronger. Only that youngster''s attacks were not making it stronger. So he is the one to respond. Bam! Two other legs or tails were cut off with his glowing green and red katana. ... Suddenly a great wind came towards the creature in the form of a colossal torrent of water harassing trees in its way immediately pushing the creature in the great hill. It gave a few howls before it fell. .... ''''It is the end?'''' many men wondered whenever it was finished and they were saved or no. Many looked with caution and to guarantee it was finished. ''Using 50% of my energy just to make that was quiet the tiring thing but worth it'' He thought. The youngster stood on the ground and seemed a bit tired. His arms were loose and leg a bit shaky like noddles. ''''Hmm?!'''' A few legs we used to climb itself upwards. It was slowly going upwards but Apolion noticed it.he wouldn''t let that happen and use his maximum strength to do so. He wanted to be useful. Not a burden to them. He activated ''World Negation'' and increased his strength 10 times before summoning a sword he took from the dead zombies from his pocket''s..divice..an almost infinite extra mini-pocket where he took the sword in an instant. He channelled his energy into it and forcefully cut the tails to let it fall.he had to rick it.It was very close next to wounded soldiers. Lorenya and Achils and company were watching how Apolion successfully cut of the tails before doing a final blow to let it fall. ... ''Impressive'' The youngster said in a bit of admiration in his mind before dashing to the scene and seeing the creature fall. ... ''''You did well'''' The youngster replied to Apolion''s action. Apolion looked at him with intrigue. Ah..I see you don''t have the translator. I will speak English.'''' ''''Apolion.. good work'''' The youngster said once again expressionlessly. Apolion just nodded. ----- A mere 2 minutes passed in silence before everyone started cheering. Some people were even crying and others were happy. ''''This passed so fast that it was beyond my calculation'''' The Sulkhan replied in thought. He abstained all his attacks and maintained low levels of attack as it increases its power by every magical attack.The strange eyes youngster and that other one seemed like foreigners who knew each other inferred by their actings in conversation and body language. They acted close for a bit.That was true.But he might as well be wrong.he was aware of that. ''''Lorenya let''s go to him'''' Achils said to Lorenya before going with her to Apolion and his new ecounter. ---- ''''Well this went quite smoothly I guess..but fast.As expected of you.'''' George was standing from a faraway hill while, watching the events unfold. He got back again after that attack as when he was near death it led him to teleport to somewhere else and shift his current body to a peak condition from parallel realities by blending them together. That is why they become stronger as it increases their power by 5 times every time they die or near death. Sigh... ''''Well, then I shall wait'''' 24 Chapter 24: A little talk Lorenya looked at Apolion and Shinatsuhiko with curiosity as their figures become metaphorically foggy in her eyes. ''These people are filled with mysterious backgrounds and their power is not normal.'' Lorenya thought before focusing her gaze in other things. ---- ''''Call me Shinatsu for short or Takashi. My full name is Renjishinku Shinatsuhiko Takashi, what about you?'''' Takashi asked in indifference with an expressionless face. ''''I am Apolion Aldaneos''''. Apolion responded with intrigue. ''''I see.'''' Takeshi nodded. ''''Are you a royal from Japan?'''' Apolion asked curiosuly. ''''Correct, but you seem to be really weak to be the captain. Are you sure you can handle the pressure about to befall?'''' Takeshi asked looking at Apolion expressionlessly. ''''Yes, I guess. But I am still ignorant of many things. As you see or wonder why I can''t speak the language is because I was new here and have to learn it even if it''s written in the book..you need actual people for the voice and writing.. But how come you guys know?'''' ''''I see. I will explain later, also you have to explain yourself as well. For now, wait till we get a private site. I don''t want to talk for now. Regardless of age or what is my origins in full detail. Everything will be unveiled later. '''' Takeshi said in English before stopping speaking. ''''Well, ok..'''' Apolion looked at Takeshi as if he was one of those characters in fiction who have sad backgrounds are loners or emos. -------- After arriving at the village and the soldiers and the official began reassuring the population after the big commotion that they were safe. The citizens were alarmed to see the Sulkhan himself to step in this little village his view was rare and his power was immense. But if he was here then the event must have been very important. After wall. Achils himself the Lord of the village, called for him.His status was very powerful within he kingdom. --- ''''My Sulkhan, although our power could easily crush it if it did not get stronger or regenerate..that boy, did it with ease and as if his power was unaffected.'''' One of the generals with a moustache and scary saggy face with flowing white hair asked suspiciously. ''''Indeed, but I already told Achils to contact them to take them for the capital. We will have a discussion.'''' the Sulkhan replied with expectation. They were flying around the area to see if any other event has occurred. --- Meanwhile, some soldiers and especially a group of four were inside the inn Apolion stayed and the owner of the inn Miss Krisblenia also sat down with them as she wanted to see the heroes of the village.s She had a connection with Apolion ,even though, they were small instances such as delivering food or providing basic things Apolion asked of her. Somehow, he was always nervous around her.But little did she know that Apolion discovered her breasts were bigger than expected and he stared at it at times but nervously keep his gaze away to prevent being caught and because he found her as a very atrractive mature woman. Of course, he kept it all to himself. To never see the light. Until he either get caught or found out or he confesses.Which is highly unlikely. Krisblenia thought it was cute and funny. A refreshing character in her inn after a long time. Lorenya and Achils invited Apolion and Takeshi for a drink and food. ''''Hmmm, you are telling me he can''t speak because of some issues related to upbringing?'''' Achils asked thoughtfully. That might explain the reason why Apolion did not know the language and even less the original one. ''''Yes'''' Takeshi was a boy of few words but he decided to answer questions for Apolion in a dangerous world where only 12 other people were closely related to him. he had to come up with excuses to not reveal things they are not supposed to know. ''''Oh, then will Apolion be able to talk in a few days as you said? Are you sure?'''' Lorenya had many questions to ask.But the day was very long and they had to rest after a big battle so she decided to ask only a few questions and go wit Achils as Takeshi asked them to leave them for a private talk between them. The rest he could explain tomorrow. He was informed they were invited to the capital. They had a limit of 12 days to come.It is very important. Achils also explained that he was a friend of the king since childhood since his background comes from a clan defending the Sulkhans when needed and they were fierce warriors. To explain it in simple terms as to why he was in this rather humble village.He said it was that he could not handle big territories and prefer simplicity, so he chose this village has his reward and settlement after a succession war from the past for the current Sulkhan. Takeshi understood the main points and abstained from asking more as he needed to talk to Apolion as soon as possible. ''''Well, then goodbye Apolion and Takeshi, take care.'''' Both of them got up and were leaving to go the door to exit and left. ''''That was an interesting talk handsomes'''' Krisblenia said charmingly with mature voice yet curiously and fascinated. This was once in a lifetime opportunity to see such big characters that were famous throughout the country. And maybe even the world. The people she sat with might even be famous in the future. She knew by intuition. Apolion secretly gulped. Takeshi maintained calmness and silence against such a seductress as if he was a piece of wood.He was unaffected by this supposed charming voice that Apolion admired upon. ''''Thank you'''' Takeshi put down the special hot liquid similar to tea in his world in the table.And looked at Apolion sharply. ''''Let''s have a little talk shall we?'''' ''''Let''s go then'''' Apolion said looking at Takeshi weirdly. He thought that Takeshi was a profound character. But at the same time, Apolion was quite annoyed as he had to sat there like a rock while Takeshi speaks for him. But he had no choice to not disturb the flow. But at least his Alize was analysing everything and giving him information and adding this to his mental space subconsciously. ''''Thank you'''' Apolion looked at Krisblenia''s eyes which looked at him as if it was a magnet. He resisted and noticed something strange in her aura. But quickly dismissed it as if it was his imagination. ''''Your welocme'''' Miss Krisblenia understood their meaning and took the glasses and went. It was quite a harvest of information and news and she was content with it.Better not overstep some boundaries as she was aware Takeshi was not bothered to talk anymore. The men in the inn looked at them with envy and some even signed but kept talking and chit-chatting making the inn livelier than usual. ''''Let''s move to your room we need silence or as much secrecy as possible.But I don''t like their loud behaviour it''s like stupid crows.'''' Takeshi expressed his annoyance and was walking with Apolion to his room which he was guiding immediately. ''''Well, our little talk will be-'''' Before Apolion could finish a figure with a hood presented himself. He had a purple cloak and blue armour mixed with prince-like clothing in his chest and grey and black legs looking as if they were advanced futuristic thin armours and legs mixed with normal sports trousers imagery. As if he was ready for battle. He had a cape surrounding the back of his body but it covered half off his front body too as he extended his arm towards someone asking: ''''Don''t forget me Takeshi-san, the others are coming too.'''' Immediately, the people paid attention to his attire. It was very strange like the strange eyes individual that was very strong yet he are a bit different. But gave a sense of fashion never seen before.

Thank you. 25 Getting to know each other ''''Hmmm. Well, where shall we begin?'''' George asked to himself thoughtfully as he and Takeshi sat down in a table in Apolion''s room fit for four people with polished wood. ''''Ah I know, First of all, let''s start with our adventures and how we met and the sorts..No wait! Let''s get to know what information we all have after coming here as we might have different information even thou Takeshi and me share similar knowledge, Apolion, seems to lack something...'''' George thought as he didn''t know about the tablets. ''''Ah, I could not figure out what are those tablets and what exactly my power is but I did found some power-ups along the way I guess'''' Apolion burst out in random words as he tried ot explain himself a little ashamed. ''''Well, then let us explain you all we know as similar information or common knowledge me and Takeshi have. We will ask you why you don''t know later or try to figure it out later.'''' George then proceeded to explain to Apolion in long monologues as if it was a great event that could change the world. ''Why monologues?'' Apolion thought annoyed. The tablets were from a world called the Dark-light world or twilight world and other names attributes to the same place. This world was long ago destroyed by a catastrophic war that occurred approximately a million years ago..but that is only within a certain timelapse as the flow of time was different in the place that the war took place, it actually has passed so much time that it was incalculable as the point of existence and exact dates were unknown as traces could not be found. Those who tried to access through time travel could not find any traces. As if it didn''t exist. It was considered a myth. As if it existed it should be accessed through the universal methods yet it seems to be impossible as even the most peak user of the flow of time in the universe could not figure out where it was. Therefore, it was considered nothing but a fairy tale. However, they found 13 tablets. The legendary tablets. Their names and power were unknown until it was deco-defied the meaning of each power yet their overall name was unknown. It is said that hell and heaven came from the remains of that world. After this, the small tablets were accidentally broken and balls of power burst out and went to many worlds to find worthy users as the greed for power of intelligent beings made another war in the process.It was lost until the users who posses it showed extreme power that one user defeated the king of the heavens or angels and another, the Lord of Hell back then. But it worked on physical entities only. But when they die or leave the body it goes away But there was a time limit and this power over time found incompatible as the soul or vessel was not compatible with any beings it went until powerful entities wilded it but the power-levels were decreased and it caused the decrease of life and it did not go with the user in the ''spirit world''s forms'' which are the boundary realm of the dead and the living a spirit could be a ghost or transcendental angel which do not have physical bodies yet they could manifest one if they wanted. The spirit realm also has physical things of some form as its a universal law of existence but sometimes it does not contact with the true physical world.heaven is one of the few places that are pseudo spirit and physical world.As time went with balls jumping from user to user they manage to retain it and when a user no longer is able to hold it, it goes back to a special place to stay in secure wheel made in heaven. Another war broke out to have it and eventually the power of the tablets was dispersed and only 50% of what was before was left and there were many limitations so everyone stopped fighting for it as it was not worthy for their works or powers and there were better things than that. But legend says that the user who defeated the Lord of heaven said that ''I could not unlock it''s full power'' This tablets have the power to even transcend and or be in the spirit world for a limited time as when your body dies it goes away. So immortals were perfect to wield this but they were eventually killed with special weapons or powerful entities so it was useless regardless. But luckily it''s power was reduced extremely between wars and no powerful entity wanted it. That is what they knew so far but there was still many mysteries. It was all over-simplified. ''''Ah.I understand now, then what powers I have?'''' Apolion asked curiously. ''''I don''t know about that you have to discover it I only know that it''s called ''All-round harmonizer'' and some of Thariel''s statements are clues'''' George said in thought. ''''Hmmm, fair enough. Well, how do you guys know all this?'''' Apolion asked curiously. ''''That''s what we want to know as well as know why you don''t know..dodon''t tell me you didn''t read or check the equipment properly?'''' George asked with a sighing manner. ''''Ah, I didn''t check some stuff...because I thought it wasn''t important because I had to deal with my weak power levels.'''' Apolion said as if he made a mistake like a child. ''''Well, it can be understood I guess...but that long? Really? Next time we will check together to see if we have the same things. We met some others through our devices and levelling them up in order to do so much easier, I guess. But there was something given to you to know where we are or where to find us..But enough for today we have to rest. ''''I already told Krisbleia to prepare me a room for me and Takeshi...Separately of course.'''' George responded with a bit of a tired tone. Takeshi nodded. They could feel him yet not. A very strange feeling.Like an invisible wind.Sometimes calm and sometimes mighty. But with very little or no sound. But wind is not the only one of Takeshi''s abilities. ---- In the end, they bid farewell and went on their rooms. They both got up and respectfully said good night before vanishing in an instant to their rooms. ''''More pieces of information to digest, come on!'''' Apolion was frustrated as he slowly closed the door with a high temper and determined to open the bad he had to see all its secrets in its full might. ---- Mini-world ------ Lord Maximus: Is it fixed yet? Electrician and the stuff: Not sir! Give us one more chapter! Lord Maximus: Fine! Sorry guys no mini-world....of craziness, well, whatever you call it! Sigh Maybe I will stop taking my helmet off it''s too much to handle... ..... Hurry Up or I will fire you! The stuff: Yes sir, yes! *They speed up very nervously and scared to not get fired* 26 The discoveries and festival The next morning. --- ''''Hmm, so this is what is going on huh?'''' Apolion was looking at the books and digital data provided through his A.I to get information he left untouched for his survival in the forest as a top priority. He became aware that there were many nations within this world and seven great ones with lots of power and status and many different languages were present too. The world was vast indeed. This world used magical powers they generally call Tenzi in all languages. Languages related to powers and magic had a specific language that was universal to avoid confusion which is more strictly implemented than Engorian. There was a location in black within the map highlighting Satkhalsha''s territory to defeat him. The Holders were hidden within society and were inside nations and they had to destroy them in another way. They were more dangerous yet no moves were present for 10 years yet in one of the documents about the emission it said to be careful as they were strong enough to destroy mountains with ease. Apolion knew he had to work himself to become a greater power to face them. Some documents explained that he could find new clues and things as he levelled up with the self-training robot which could grant him abilities and help him in battle and daily life. There was a way to find the other chosen ones. Which was by reaching through Alize and asking her or him to grant a scan in areas and send messages.But that can only be done after reaching two types of achievements which were reaching: The 5th stage of training my the self-training robot.This was done to guarantee the utmost safety and the basics to survive in case of any odd events.It''s not specified what exactly thou..but he could get an idea. The last achievement is to reach civilization and get in contact with them to gain allies or communication get to know the world. They both were simple. Yet Apolion missed completely by training. It was worth it he thought. otherwise he would have wasted one life in the tower and maybe die again if he was met with a unexpected strange creature. His power-levels were weak and it was told on the main book there is danger. He took the training seriously enough. Last time he checked the robot said through a hologram by the eyes and voice he was stage 4.He trained a lot with it while in his journey to reach the village a bit more and a few more extra times after the forest incident. --- Knock knock knock -- ''''Who is it?'''' Apolion asked the people at the door with his guard up. ''''Ah, it''s me Miss Krisbleia'''' Krisbleia answered from the door calmly. ''At the morning hours like this, why did she come this early for? I did it for a successful habit and something that can make you survive. But I guess everyone has their reasons...and wait a minute...how does she know I was awake in the first place?'' Apolion was in a dilemma and put his guard up. It might as well be a trap to Apolion in a dangerous world. ''''I have something to talk about'''' Krisbleia said from the door as Apolion opened the door. ''''And what that might be?'''' Apolion responded with Alice telling him what to say after a few analyzations. ''''I have been told as well to invite all of you to the capital as a reminder, but most importantly it''s to discuss about something. I am not that impressed you learned to speak that quick, as expected'''' Apolion put himself in alert and surprised that she was going to talk about this with an illiterate person like him and on top of that, at this hours and about ''something'' No matter who you ask..it''s suspicious, regardless of what level of beauty a person can have as a rose might be beautiful but the serpent underneath lies hungry for flesh. Apolion was staring at her with suspicion. ''''No need, to put your guard up. After all I took care of you here and if I wanted to kill you I would have done it long ego'''' Silence filled the room. ''''I will go to the main discussion'''' Apolion gulped ''''You need to come down for breakfast and the celebration of the festival of Sentai. Its a festival about the birth of this village. Every city or village have this annually. But on different dates depending on it.And Lord Achils told me to make you come down for a talk. You seemed to be awake which was good.One of your friends slept quiet well and I had to call your other friend to wake him up. The so-called Geroge is problematic. It will get lively soon.So many sounds will resonate that will make you awake regardless of how much sleep you have. Well, that''s all'''' kribleia finished her talk to Apolion calmly ''''I see'''' Apolion replied with the help of Alize. ''''Ah, another thing is...you were hiding something from us right? Your Tenzi is extrmely low that it is in dangerous levels yet you seem quiet powerful.If you have time come to my office alone. I have a little thing to talk about and do together. Fuffufu Let''s meet in a few minutes.'''' Krisbleia left just like that with a dangerous yet siren-like laugh. That laugh sounded fishy to Apolion.A very strange yet seductive woman. ''''I smell fish somewhere...She might as well be a thot or maybe no and I am crossing the line..'''' Apolion said with a poker face while wondering what to do. ------- 20 minutes later ---------- ''''Mr. Takeshi, how are you so strong?'''' Lorenya asked curiously sitting at the table while, some loud sounds and cheers could be heard from the outside of the inn. Takeshi and Lorenya and Achils were waiting for Apolion and George, who seems to have taking too long already. ''''Ah, it seems it''s getting quiet-loud little by little I guess.'''' Apolion thought with intrigue and curiosity. ''''Hello Apolion-her!'''' Lorenya referred to Apolion with a ''''her'''' as a way to refer someone friendly and close. Like a pun in their nation. Apolion was confused for a second, so was Takeshi, about that word, he was sensitive to the surroundings. ''''What''s that word ''her''?'''' Apolion asked. ''''Nothing, just a way to refer to you from now on don''t mind it'''' Lorenya was impressed that Apolion knew Floreian more faster than before. But little did she know he had a good intelligence and with the help of Alize it made it easier. ''''Well, what''s this party thing about?'''' Apolion asked with all his vocabulary in Floreian he could get. ''''Sit'''' Achils signalled carefully so Apolion could understand. Apolion did as told and started drinking the water reserved for him in the seat Achils pointed out. ''''Well.... ---------------Mini-world----------------- Lord Maximus: Hmmm let us see.. the world is at chaos right now? Apolion: What I heard from those shady dudes with tinted glasses mate. It''s not like I know its true. Lord Maximus: Well then, let us go and see. *After talking to Apolion in secrecy we decided to descend to the true world.Through a 4th wall diemnsion* Apolion: Man I never though you were able to do that. Lord Maximus: Only Gods like me can.But I have to admit some fall short. Although I met certain god called Nick something...I don''t remeber..I think it was 1 million years ago.He was kinda lonely and everything so were friends but we eventually had to go separate ways. We might meet again maybe..but well he had a similar dimensional power to mine. Yet lacked the same manoeuvres for time manipulation which I taught him how to do so. So not all gods are the same. Well, author gods per se. Enough talk let us see. Apolion: Hmmm...I see nothing... Lord Maximus: Me too. Let''s go down and ask that stranger over there. *A random man was walking calmly and he was bald, we were in in the continent of North America in US, new york.* Lord Maximus: hey don''t mind my appearance it''s a random costume for a show. I came here to ask whenever you know there has been anything strange going on? Stranger*Surprised*: Ah well...there has been some burning of forests in this recent year and some..of those...I will stay neutral for now though*He pointed behind his back as a statute of George Washington falls* Lord Maximus: Apolion, let''s better get out of here...maybe it''s the same back in Uk.Not a big deal. It will be fixed soon I guess or will be over soon...unless a certain zombie apocalypse happens like last time...I will tell you the story later...now let us get back. Apolion: Oh ..okay.... *Instantly back at the palace* Apolion: That was weird indeed. Lord Maximus: You are right... Is that ting finished yet? Staff: One more day because we accidentally joined a party held by Achils. Lord Maximus: You! *Technical issues have occurred we will be back later.* 27 The festival and a little introduction ''''How do I look?'''' Lorenya asked the three dense protagonists with curiosity as she wore their country''s traditional clothes with a specific design of blue and white colours as it was part of the village''s symbol. She was wearing a long western skirt with various layers of clothes going around in circles as if it had various skirts of different sizes blended in one.Althou it looked dense it was thinner on the levels of the clothing''s comfort and closer view. ''''Ummm, Good'''' Apolion replied in a hurried manner as he was caught off guard by Lorenya. He quiet impressed and admiring her new looks but he got curious as it strikingly similar to western clothes. She looked like a perfect girlfriend for ''me'' thought Apolion in his mind '''' You look splendidly beautiful'''' George was looking at it with admiration like Apolion as if it was a jewel. ''''Not bad'''' Takeshi replied as usual with indifferent facial features. ''''I am flattered.Thank you" Lorenya said with a smile. She felt this people were quite honest and funny. They look the complete opposite of each other. Even though she used to this compliments, it was different when people she knew complimented her, especially friends or family. The night was quiet splendid indeed.. ''''Wait wait wait! George !'''' Apolion cried as George was about to destroy the whole atrraction service they were presented in the village with brute force. It was similar to a shooting game but in this one you had to punch red pillow-like places that produce air pressure that knocks up few moving teddy bears but George decided to participate and try to get one for we know who, exactly, Lorenya. He exactly saw people gifting it to their partners as he was walking around. But by seeing he could not knock up one he got furious. George was even more determined after seeing her in the middle of the game that, his hand, filled with inhuman strength, was about to hit the pillow-like place mercilessly that it might shatter the whole table and destroy the attraction. The old owner was sweating between his white and black hairs that were worried for his business to be destroyed. He was one the corner watching as the hand slowly went down.. Bang! The whole table smashed and the people on the sides were fascinated, confused and scared in the bright night filled with glowing lamps of flames of different colours. The night was quiet disrupted but still lively and shining its light towards the dark starry sky of the celestial night. ''''My business!!!'''' ''''I told you to calm down!!'''' ''''You destroyed the clothes I so hardly got you for?!'''' Achils shouted as well.he had bought clothes for them to wear in this traditional celebration only for George to mess it as water and nearby food exploded like a volcano as the air pressure blew the Goerge and all the male figures had clothing similar to each other with different colours and designs. They had a hybrid skirt and pants similar to those in Rome or the ancient times. With a long shirt similar to silk''s properties of different colours and a cloth that surrounded their body like a circle upwardly in the right side. -------- Half a day ego... ''''So, it''s a party? Sounds good!'''' George replied quiet surprised ''''What''s a party?'''' Apolion asked in their language as he still was not able to speak as always ''''I see'''' Takeshi replied indifferently. ''''Well then, it''s decided you shall all go! You must wear some clothes of our traditions but its optional..but I think you guys should try'''' Achils replied decisively as if it was a decision of a lifetime. ''''Yeah!'''' George replied with decisiveness and excitement. ''''I never said yes'''' ''''Can someone explain me anything?'''' ''''Come on Takeshi don''t be like that!'''' George pulled Takeshi on the shoulder with force, making him spit his tea comically. ''''Fine, I will go but in exchange leave me alone for the day doing my own business'''' Takeshi replied only so that this people don''t pester him for the whole day. ''''Apolion I will explain later. Well then see you at nighttime'''' George bid Lorenya and Achils farewell instantly as he had something to talk about with the two of his companions. Takeshi noticed this and waited patiently. Surely it wasn''t anything ridiculous...''I mean I know this guy usually brings up stupid stuff but let''s hear him'' Takeshi thought one last time as George approached in the empty seat beside the three of them. ''''Well, basically there is a festival he wants us to go, so, we will be going. We need to relax a bit and discover this world''s culture and get back to Earth with interesting juicy stories to tell right? Maybe even get a girlfriend here..'''' George explained to Apolion and also thinking whenever it was possible he could take people from this world to the other and vice versa. ''''Don''t say unnecessary stuff we are here to do a mission not to relax or enjoy this world.This is not a tour. We must hurry and eliminate these ''targets '' before it gets worse.'''' Takeshi replied annoyed. ''''Listen Takeshi. I heard from the details that we can take things with us to the other world and even people but only three at a time with each person of the 13 tablet users. So why not get a girlfriend and some friends along the journey? I bet they are better than the Earth girls I am sure !'''' George replied exited. ''''Well, it doesn''t bad at all! But we must still be careful. Who knows there might as well be problems arising from the shadows'''' Apolion replied in thought. ''''Well then, someone is coming to us I sense it.So did you two right?'''' George replied silently telepathically all of a sudden. ''''Wait you could do this? I will try next time even thou it''s with the A.I''s but yes I feel like someone is coming closer to us with a similar aura.Very strange'''' Apolion replied surprised. ''''Master you can also learn true telepathy if you work hard enough on the Vrilin control manuals given or even create new techniques'''' Alize replied to Apolion''s concerns. ''''I see'''' Tah! George was hit in the face by the sheath of the katana of Takeshi. ''''No one cares for your perverted thoughts, a lesson for you.Well, yes I did notice already.But anyway let us talk about ourselves now.George go on.'''' Takeshi replied seriously. ''''I am from the elite Violet eagle division of the United States of America.Under training.My family comes from a background of spies and has high influence in the military.Don''t worry they don''t force you to join but it''s considered honourable so I joined to make myself worthy to my family, you can join at any age. It''s a special division designed to fight with supernatural strength and secret technology in order to hunt beasts and enemies of America in missions outside of public view.'''' George replied carefully trying to see what to say and what not to say. ''''Royal family of Japan, First in line to the throne, Our family is an ancient clan that has a secret background outside of the public to give us special abilities unique to us and we got our own techniques and manuls to create so-called superhumans. We operate with our highest of potentials outside of the public. I cannot say what missions or what exactly they do to a full extent. Only the emperor and other officials know the full extent of the clan''s and family''s situation. We are the main branch. As you have noticed there is only the royal family with ''that'' surname. The rest, are hidden.'''' Takeshi replied in a monologue cooly. ''''Well, I come from a normal background I guess, but the difference is that I noticed strange things that I am still kept on the dark about.For example, my father gave me a book detailing supernatural things including the existence of vrillin but they call it ''inner energy''.'''' Apolion replied truthfully. ''''Hmmm. I have the ''inner energy'' manuals as well and pretty much-taught form a young age but...your family is quiet strange. I will trust you for now. But I am impressed you show high amounts of power for a normal family. I believe you might as well be a special one. But I could be wrong.'''' Takeshi thought for a moment. ''''Well then, let us go and chill outside in the shops and the sorts.'''' George replied to break the serious atmosphere and travel together. And that folks bring us to here... After travelling and exploring the city and meeting Achils they are here now..at night. ''''Lad''s control yourself next time.M\u003coney doe snot come freely.'''' Achils responded calmly with an annoyed look as he had to pay reparations. ''''No problem'''' Takeshi said with a look of a guard taking care of George. Apolion sit there in tranquillity and thinking about the future actions.After all, the was the leader. ''''Ah Apolion, you seem to have learned a lot!'''' Lorenya came close to his face all of a sudden when he was daydreaming he was caught off guard and managed to reply with a ''''Yes''''. ''''I will keep teaching you and ask me anything if you need ok?'''' Lorenya said very kindly and with a smile. ''''ooh, oh okay'''' Apolion understood the main thing which was asking anything if he needs from body language and his own vocabulary. ''''I wish I was Apolion'''' George looked at Apolion with contempt and envy.. And the night passed till then with lights all over the place and many attrractions happening in multiple sides. A river nearby was lit by so many lights which were instantly flown over the sky decorating the sky with dancing rays of lights forming a great show of the cosmos.They were like flying lamps. ''''Seems familiar...'''' Takeshi saw it in wonder while, Apolion and company admired it as a great show. It was similar to a certain japanise traditions or culture.. ---------- Mini-world --------- Lord Maximus: What are you expecting from me huh? Do you think I have the time to listen to your garbage of demands for this strange mini-show? I don''t waste my time next time! Do you think I can entertain you forever with this crap? Lorenya: Master you are being mean to the audience. Lord Maximus: They have laughed at me too much..maybe..I need a break..but first let me finish my business. Say sorry for me! *Goes to the toilet* Lorenya: Sorry guys our master is kinda busy and in a bad mood for now...see you next time..maybe he will be fine.I hope you forgive him. *She vows* 28 The new member and The magnificent capital t was about time to head out to the capital. Apolion and everyone else were packing their things as they were gonna stay in another inn. But before that, Apolion, remembered that Krisbleai invited him if he have time. Well, he does have time now so he ''might as well go and visit her'' to see what was it about before going. A carriage with the unique horses of this world could be seen outside from the windows and Takeshi and company were having a conversation between them. Nothing out of the ordinary. ---- ''''Madam, the client named Apolion Aldaneos has requested to enter for a private conversation.'''' A butler entered respectfully and waiting for the reply of his master. ''''Let him in'''' ''''As you wish'''' The servant then made Apolion come out of the door and sit down with Krisbleia in the small table from the office near a small greenish sofa and bid farewell. Krisblea looked occupied at first as she was in her desk with papers to look and write with unknown business to Apolion. She put each of them away in a small space near her table so she could view Apolion but she also signalled to come to the desk instead of the sofa he was in and signalling to sit down. ''''I just wanted to give you something before you go'''' She said firmly. Apolion looked in anticipation. ''''Here take this'''' Krisbleia gave Apolion a pendant of golden highlights and shape of a drop of water but of the size of a thumbnail. A brilliant gem of blue colours displaying from within. ''''I can''t explain much since you don''t know full Floreian. But whenever someone asks you what it is, say its a gift from someone got it? This is a pendant that might help you at some point in your journey and you will be able to call me if I am close within a 2000 Tonelics. Oh to give you an idea... With a range as big as this country. I am not an ordinary person. I am from the Polenic organization. You will understand later. But this was given to me by my Granpha and told me to hand it out to someone named Apolion Aldaneos.. And to identify you he told me you emit a strange aura different from what normal citizens or all race''s auras and there is no one with that name in this world. He seemed correct, I never heard of such a name before. Especially your friends also have strange names never heard of before. Sorry if I am rude. But take care on your journey. Do you understood everything?'''' Apolion silently nodded. ''''Well, then..'''' Krisbleia came much closer to Apolion. Apolion in the other hand seemed perturbated and nervous that a beautiful woman is getting closer to him out of nowhere. ''''Turn around'''' her voice carried command as if she had the authority of the whole country. Apolion did as told only to be.. Muah! ''''Wha-!'''' ''''A kiss'''' That''s a reward for entertaining me and helping with the chores in some cases. Now that Apolion remembers.While he stayed here. When he had a bit of free time he decided to help the Krisbleia as since he knew he might be staying here for free why not help people a bit? ''''Good bye and take care hope I see you and your friends again'''' She said one last time seductively while bidding farewell to the departing Apolion who was processing what just happened. ----- ''''Apolion we have been waiting for you.Wait a minute! What is that sign..on your CHEEKS!'''' George burst out of the carriage waiting for them as he witnesses Apolion coming out to go the capital within the same carriage. ''''What do you mean?'''' Apolion asked confused. ''''Stop playing dumb.it was a girl wasn''t it?!'''' George pressed the matter as if its a serious matter like the end of the world. George got frustrated as he met mostly men and girls of his dislike while coming where they were..but that''s for another time. ''''Wait...give me a mirror!'''' ''''Look a yourself on the water reflection from that bowl over there.'''' George pointed out to a bowl close to them left probably by someone who was coming to pick it up or God knows what was it for.but convenient for the time being. Apolion looked with curiosity until he found an implanted kiss in red. Now that he remembers ..'''' Her lips were more red than usual...'''' ''Why can''t I get it off?'' Apolion tried to get rid of it to no avail.He guessed he had to ask Lorenya to remove it before it gets worse as she may know something about makeup. ''''Forget it, probably an accident with someone...'''' Apolion tried to hide the incident but George was suspicious as if it was his mother pressing on the issue. ''''Yeah right....I will get back at you on the carriage now get on'''' George said one last time before telling Apolion to get to the carriage. Throughout the journery long story short.They annoyed Apolion about the kiss and making all sorts of outrageous remarks. Lorenya was quite surprised while saying that the lipstick is called a lover''s lipstick or a long-lasting rare type of lipstick that only high-class ladies could afford and it will naturally wear of a become less resistant after 3 hours usually and Achils was thinking Apolion has the potential to be a ladies man. Apolion was however, thinking about Krisbleia''s words.. ''Did she say her grandpa knows me or did I misinterpret?'' ''''Master, you are right.It was extremely suspicious I suggest not to wear the pendant in case for now.But the woman sure was mysterious.I think you should tell someone like Takeshi or the Emperor if he knows something or Achils, but she indicated to keep it a secret to you master.In the end is your choice.'''' Alize said in Apolion''s head. ''Fair enough I was thinking the same.But I think I will keep it a secret only for now.maybe I will come across the organization or whatever it is somewhere on my journey. Deactivate thought reading'' ''Affirmative'' ''There shouldn''t be no one in this planet that know of our coming or even one of us theoretically.. but I will come back once again to gain more information after I learn more'' ---- ''''This is the capital? Awesome!'''' ''''Impressive'''' ''''Not bad'''' The three main individuals looked with awe. There was clear sky and giant walls in the size of roman colosseums surrounding the entrance.A high castle as the mountain from the right side from afar and a great palace in the same size but a bit bigger. Standing tall in their yellow marvellous colours in the shining towards the sun''s everlasting warm light. They had to stay in the carriage while they passed through the borders and after Achils had identified himself as a noble that know the emperor. There was various discussions.The matter of the ''beast'' was quiet popular within the streets. ------- ''''Sit down steemed benefactors and make yourself comfortable. Whatever you need, tell me.'''' The Sulkhan sat on an ordinary throne behind a table of big magnitudes yet simple. They were in a room filled with candles and lights from strange flying balls that mimicked earth''s lights. The generals and ministers were also present but with their faces naked in the light. ''''I came here to reward your actions towards our empire we are deeply gratified. But I also wanted to say that 2 days ego we found a strange girl about your age looking for someone named Takeshi and Apolion. And if you knew each other.She might explain the details later privately its your own matter after all Let me call her'''' The Sulkhan immediately signalled one of the minister to bring her in. He got up and left. After that..they were talking about where they came from and the sorts and so they had to make up strange stories to convince them that they were individuals from small states in a country that had been destroyed and they are just refugees but because of their high power, they were the last hope. There were 13 children like them who had a mission to either re-establish themselves in a new country or found their new country to its former glory.They were separated after a few incidences and they were finally meeting up after few years because they had an invisible seal to identify them or so the story goes. Just from few noble families who could perhaps live and be a survivor They even had to signal in the map and highlight it was conquered by the army and nation led by Satkhalsha and say they were just a new country that got conquered to avoid nuisance by making another country''s name an enemy. ''''Sorry for the wait'''' ''''Hello everyone. May I know where Takeshi and Apolion might be?'''' A feminine voice ,that was very calml, responded. ''''They are there'''' The minister pointed out while fixing his glasses with a finger. ''''Thank you'''' Apolion and Takeshi waited patiently.Takeshi knew she was the person he contacted through his A.I that one time he was in the forest but was far away.His skill and energy was advanced so communication through telepathy was possible. He told her that they will meet in this country or find Apolion as they were informed he was near this country. They didn''t meet directly so they didn''t know each other because they were prosecuted with a herd of beasts within the forest.But that''s for another story yet again. ''''Greetings'''' She spoke Floreianand very timidly spoke to the three of them Apolion and Takeshi could feel she was part of their group. While, George gritted his teeth comically by how Takeshi and Apolion always get the girls. She was wearing a dress that had a white skirt with blue highlights below reaching her knees and white tights were present.A pale complexion and blue eyes with flowing blond hair.A loose and modest clothing of a long sleeve in one hand while the other was naked and free with a bracelet. A shield was present in her back and belt with lot of pockets and few tools was attached above her skirt and a bag hanging from the shoulder to below.A typical high schooler bag in the movies but for survival this time or so Apolion and the other three thought. George kept staring at her big and round chest similar to a grown woman of cup D as if he was looking at art while taking photos to keep for show but this time in his brain. Before George could react he was hit by Takeshi''s sword''s sheath once again for his so-called stupidity in front of people. ''''She sat within a chair present and reserved for the three of them. ''''So that is what the seat was for huh?'''' George murmured. She sat down nervously.She seemed to be those that are very shy. They wonder how come she is chosen in a world full of cruelty or soon to be cruel like this..she was an angel..her beauty is off the charts the three acknowledged. ''''Not an angel because I clearly saw them and looked way different more like a heavenly creature? Or maybe something else? But nothing that of an angel don''t y''all think?'''' George thought and told Apolion. She got red in the face after George''s comment. He was shit again.Takeshi told her that they will talk later.She does not seem to know English and some other language which Takeshi could not decipher in the fit of the moment back then even though the device translated for him as the temporary storage got deleted accidentally for saved words. She was talking Floreian this time which made the communication easier. Since they came in this world..communication was a fat problem.But solved now. ''''Let''s talk a bit later..'''' The new member responded flustered. ''She is so cute'' George thought in his mind. ''''Ejem, ejem. Let''s get to the main business shall we?'''' the Sulkhan made his intentions clear. The room fell silent. ----- Mini-world ----- Lord Maximus: Is there anyone alive? *Looks at a destroyed city* Apolion: Nope I don''t think so master.Are you sure the soul breaker is here? Lord Maximus: Yes it is according to the map but if we don''t find it there must be a secret hideout where we can find it. Apolion: Got it. *We were in the middle of an abandoned building that a sin a ghost city.We heard a sound that''s why I was investigating if anyone was there* Lord Maximus: It''s probably something fall don''t mind it.I don''t sense anything in the area.There must be no one here. ??? : ''''I don''t think so'''' What?! * We both turned around* 29 Oneness ''''Leader, do you think this is good?'''' A man with a black cloak covering his dark face said to the tall figure next to him. ''''It is necessary'''' The tall figure replied quiet heavily. Screams.Fire.Smoke.Ashes. It All Happened in one single moment, dancing a terrible spectacle of destruction. People were dying in agony everywhere. Silhouettes were moving like preys hiding from hunters. The sky was extremely dark. The clouds were gone, only the fire''s breath was present, covering the sky with poisonous gases. An obscure dark night of pain and suffering. Builds and houses were burned to ashes. ''''Will I ever... ------------ ''''Verk, right? It means Unity in this ancient language.'''' A teacher replied while he was talking to a boy with black hair and loose medieval-style clothing. He seemed around 10 years old. It was in a class where the names of students were given to get their meaning for fun at this moment in time. There were desks everywhere as normal with many students. ''''That''s awesome. But mine is cooler it means victory!'''' Another child shouted in superiority. ''''Don''t be so proud Vinlon, Unity is definitely a good sigh'''' The other child replied annoyed. ''''I don''t think so, maybe I will be a noble in the future and I am quiet rich too!" The other had blood-red hair and a much better clothing of silk and more polished clothing.He was given his meaning before the Verk. "Hmph" With a fit he sat down close to where his friend was. This kept on going until the class and school was dismissed. It happened right at the end of the curriculum. ------------ A day with the silence of the wind and delicate moving of the clouds and ''''Hey, do you think we can create a world of peace one day?'''' His best friend who had brown hair and just as much loose clothing as him replied. ''''Definitely! I mean..I saw soldiers coming in and out some were depressed. And others died. This fear led to people suffering.'''' Verk replied in confidence. ''''No I meant, within the country itself. I mean didn''t you say you don''t mind if I was a Armdelian?'''' The boy soon put his tone down as if he was being cautious. ''''Hart. Remember that regardless of what happens I will be your friend.That is if you didn''t commit any crimes of course.'''' Verk replied calmly. Hart looked at the mark on his neck. It was used in order to identify people of his race.He had long ears which formed part of the identity as well as his pale skin. ''''Let''s hope so..'''' ''''I promise to create a world filled with peace where everyone could live happily. Where we all leave or differences aside. I realized that it all perhaps started when we all looked at what was the same..'''' Verk responded to his friend''s remarks and visible worry. ''''Oi, if one day I ever achieve it.I want you to admit that I am not an idealistic fool and admit that I saw far away to the future than you!'''' ''''Sure, sure, we will see about that'''' ''''Watch!'''' ---- ''''Leader are you awake?'''' His underling or companion asked. ''''Ah no problem'''' The cloaked man got to his composture after daydreaming about the past. ''''You seemed dazed for a moment, did you reach a new stage of comprehension of that ability leader?'''' The man asked. ''''Possibly.Let us go back'''' ''''Roger that'''' ............................ Within a great hall lays a desk filled with Lots of people with cloaks ................................ In this hall, however, there was quiet a discussion about the next moves. But to what exactly was unknown. A figure in the middle in a throne was unmoving and unresponsive as if waiting for the discussion to finish. But he was contemplating something.. Something... ''''Something like that a light within us... Ghak-'''' The boy coughed blood. ''''Wait resist a bit more I am sure you can be saved!'''' Verk replied to his friend. ''''It is useless, I am about to die.It is painful.You have to kill me and burn me.They will experiment on, basically torture us forever in this state.'''' Hart replied with the few force left. ''''Don''t Don''t die. You promised!'''' ''''I said the best of my ability I can''t see that world you will create.But...if you feel you can..I wil be there watching you.Promise no..I advise you that stick to your values and live a life you consider worth it in the least. And make a world filled with love. And-'''' Hart fell in the ground before Verk immediately holding him with tears dropping bit by bit... ''''Never give up...On your dreams'''' The last words resounded from a soulless body. ''''Ahhhhhh!'''' A great cry of despair resounded within the destroyed burning lands of ashes and buildings. ''''There they are the monsters. Massacre them. Not a single one alive'''' A deep voice resounded ordering men to kill Verk. Verk noticing it so decided to jump and run leaving his friends body in that place,he decided it was the best option for now as he knew that if he didn''t escape and think clearly he would die, clearly he was smarter than most of his peers. He promised in that moment onwards to not let anyone dear to him be hurt. A great genocide has happened. The country was in an uproar. A race was about to be officially vanished for a crime told by the government that Verk was ignorant about at the time. Most likely an excuse to erase that race. But it escalated to the extent of a full massacre. ''''No it can''t be...'''' His parents house was burning. Ashes lay within the sky and the clouds and the moon reflected evil grins to his now destroyed childhood. More tears began to form. Like great rain in a merciless hell that burned all hopes to darkness. ''''Whyyyyy?!'''' ----- In that night, there was a battle between various groups political ideologies and racial discrimination took place and the sovereign of the nation was split.many have died and the battle continued. Many escaped and many have died in the process. A boy with dull eyes walked within an empty street with trees keeping him company. He managed to walk from the country with scarce food he managed to get in hopes to leave. ''''There is a light within us..the darkness is a teacher and light is the teaching. Darkness is weird. It teaches us to fight it for our good. Although we might always win..he will always be there to remind us of our light when we fall into his claws. He is both evil and good. The Tenzi is a magical power that resides within us. But only by comprehending this we must take what''s inside our mind and body and blend it on our spirit to form a great power. The mind is the master, the bodyes both spiritual and physical is the vessel, the soul is the fuel, the spirit is the key to light or in some cases darkness...then you embody the teacher..but many fail and carries risks and will turn you into a monster... But it all relies on who uses it. Once reached enlightenment you must use the Tenzi and cast it all aside to then fill in the power of all that is..all things present has magical power but first, convert it using the spirit and combine it with the energy-filled within us apart from Tenzi. Yes that mysterious one.Then you might obtain unity with all things and individuality. You will be a light in the darkness or a teacher a darkness..or maybe something else? I do not know but I have been told there is other forms. Another thing is that...ghack.. Its that thing then that can unite people because you will make people realize that there is no differences that makes us fully superior to others or inferior to others. Anyone can reach this stage and when you do..you will obtain all advantages that other races posses as well as physiques and the sorts or make it useless allowing you to show in the end ... We are the same and different.'''' Those words resounded in Verk''s head. It was a teaching passed down to his friends race. His friend decided to pass it down to him and share it as his friend begged as a last thing just out of instinct. ''''Where could I go?'''' ''''A river? I need some water I guess'''' There was a stream of a river clear as crystals and shiny as the stars. Verk moved to the river he saw in the way and saw a fisherman fishing at night. Which was very odd. ''''Oh...who might you be sir?'''' ''''No one, just a fisherman'''' ''''I came here to drink water is it safe here?'''' ''''If you want some I have a bottle here, take it, I am guessing you are from that country in chaos right now is it?'''' ''''How do you know?'''' Verk replied before taking the bottle handed down to him and start drinking it like a mad person. ''''Calmly, calmly.. Now, sit here with me. I will tell you a tale.. But first..do you know what''s oneness?'''' ----------- Mini-world ----------- ???: Hahaha It''s me Maximus! Lord maximus: That voice, you are... Otin: I am Otin the Shatterer! Apolion: Master what is that thing? * Panicked* Otin appeared from within the darkness and a skull full of malicious intent and red eyes were looking at us. His body was covered with darkness..darkness that bent to form cloaks of obscure energy around him. As if..darkness is him and he is the darkness. Lord Maximus: It seems a battle is about to begin. Let me first get my armour out to unleash my full power I can only release a maximum 5% with that armour now I can release 50% with my ring blocking it. Forgetting my limit breaker..as well...me at 50% should be enough. Otin: Haha you expected me to be the same? Look at this! Lord Maximus: This power ..wait it cause a system collap- 30 The world will unite ''''No, I don''t know what''s that''''. ''''Allow me to explain with a tale'''' The old man relaxed himself and replied calmly. A long time ago there was a great countries and empires who fought each other because of the differences they had and all sorts of ideologies were clashing. Races were trying to name themselves superior to others and clans and also even individuals were fighting for superiority. They were called the Dark Clashing ages, occurred 100,000 years ago. In a distant past that only, little remains of. Also one day a great hybrid between 2 races was born from the races Nernians and Reynelians, in the constant wars to show that peace and coexistence was possible.His name was Eter. It was proven that were not that different to make a fuss such as wars and dominations. This was met with retaliation until Eter was hidden, and when he grew up he travelled the continents to establish his teaching.That of Oneness which was later forgotten and instead replaced with something such as peace. In the end, the world was united and harmony established until his death only to surge once again after 10, 00 years. The world is tragic. The concept oneness relies on that we are all part of one thing. And that this is the unity itself.Everything is connected. When a connection and harmony is established anything is possible. One such way to connect is through emotions and another through bonds, although they are all closely linked. A bond can strengthen a society where no boundaries are present. Only by viewing ourservels be one with everything and leave our differences aside and extinguish all evil then can you find peace. Violence can be needed but balance must be established.By being one we transcend duality. Remember, oneness is the unity of all things working in harmony like all things should be.In the end we are all the same. It is found is nature. Nature present oneness...Death comes to everyone. Because, it understands, you are all one and the same in the end. ''''Imagine a world without barriers without dangerous superiority without wars and pointless deaths and suffering. Because we knew that we are connected and our actions have consequences. but don''t discard your uniqueness...because in this unity.Everyone is not the same.They have different jobs and power levels that are useful in their own ways..what you don''t have others might have it.What you have others might not. Certain insects decompose certain foods while others use that decomposed things for other purposes. Just watch how nature unfolds and relax.In the end you are here for the experience.Life is a gift.But that does not stop the predator from feeling pity for those he hunts. The natural order..for us and this Planet''s habitants however as intelligent species is to unite. And work together for the well being of the planet.'''' ''''Does that mean destroying barriers like culture and the sorts which prevent people from tolerating other things?'''' Verk asked curiously. ''''I don''t know the answer but one thing I can tell you is, acceptance is needed for trust to exist, which turn things in order to have harmony to form that oneness.'''' ''''At this rate...the end of all life will happen or maybe..the existence of a certain group will get stronger after everything is erased.''''The old man replied nonchalantly as if it has happened before. ''''With oneness I can unite the people under one banner and end all wars and work together once more?'''' Verk replied. ''''I do not know either, but what I do know is..anything is possible regardless of how wild it can get.It''s an old legend. I can say that many things are added to it...I meant anything can be improved upon..nothing is perfect in our capabilities, Oneness is an idea improved upon times immemorial, So, it can be improved with the founding concepts or intention being the same. But the methods used to reach that oneness ...regardless of what it is might be a noble cause tommorow..or perhaps...'''' The Old man replied one more time and it seemed he was making his tone down. ''''Perhaps, the end of the planet..... ''''That''s awesome senior where might you get that know-'''' Verk noticed the Old man next to him was instantly gone as if he was talking to thin air all along. Nothing remained. Not even his bottle. He was observing the river for a few moments before it happened when he tried to turn sideways to the right. The grass was dancing the wind in the form of river waves. The trees were calm and the clouds covered two twin moons in opposite ends.One yellow as sand and one white as cotton in bright lights. ''''This-'''' ---- ''''Leader we have reached the decision.'''' One of the cloaked men said for the rest of them. ''''Good, the world will unite'''' With that, the last sentence of the meeting was spilt from the leader''s mouth...Or shall we say.... Verk... or maybe something else? ------I have no power and motivation for mini-world for now...unless you support me...damn--- Lorenya: Master you look too pitiful trying to not include yourself by putting what you were going to say as the title instead of ''Mini-world'' Lord Maximus: Leave me alone.
