Chapter 5 Elias
Elias, a world said to be so huge that millions of planes are being born and destroyed every moment with only the main plane stating firm through the ages.
According to legend, in the beginning, was the void and from the void, the creator god Kaos was born. With the head of a dragon and a humanoid body he sits and watches the void for all eternity.
Over time perhaps due to loneliness or whatever reason Kaos decided to create another life other than him and open the sky!
With just his bare hands he waved them towards the endless void with all his strength causing the seemingly empty void to show signs of destruction. However, he continued to attack the void. Time passed, maybe thousands of years, maybe millions. With the repeated action a large space formed since then there had been another attribute to the void, space!
However, unlike what he hoped to achieve there was no life, just a space. Before he could figure out what was going on the space started to close in. Unwilling to let his achievements be reduced to nothing he stepped forward into the space he created and held it up but with the pressure coming from all sides of the void it seemed rather impossible to allow the space to stay open.
Turning a look to the space one last time he grits his teeth as if making a painful decision " The void is above! I Kaos would like to sacrifice my all to keep this world alive" he shouted looking towards the endless void as if talking to someone. Silence filled the air and after an unknown time a voice that seemed to transcend endless time and space descended, causing the whole void to ripple " allowed!" Breathing a sigh of relief Kaos as if noticing something turned his eyes towards another direction and smiled.
As the pressure on both sides kept increasing Kaos finally couldn't keep it and then fell but with a strange smile on his face. As he fell an unknown force from the depth of the void acted on his body causing his falling body to scatter into different pieces. His skin turned into the membrane that protects the world from the void, eyes turned into the sun and the moon, hairs turned into stars, and flesh the earth. His blood irrigated the earth and his breath caused the four winds to form. the sea originated from his cells with his fall a truly magnificent world had formed.
Unfortunately, there seemed to be some leftover void between heaven and the earth causing the world to be fragmented in many places leading to a strange phenomenon where many smaller versions of the world were formed orbiting what is known today as the main plane.
After an unknown amount of time with the cry in the sky the first being and first God-king Hyperion born out of the sun was formed followed by Selene the goddess of the moon, Gia the mother of the earth-born out of his flesh, and Oceanus the god of the sea these four ancient Gods were born and the world trembled as if celebrating their birth a series of phenomenon occurred I the sky.
Watching all this happen, Elric could have been said to have witnessed the birth and formation of the world. Through the information received from something called the will of the world, he as the first mortal to create a method of becoming extraordinary has been greatly rewarded by the world for promoting its growth.
Firstly the most noticeable change should be the A.I. Due to the world will intervention the A.I. has thoroughly merged with his soul causing it to become a unique existence with the possibility of growth, at this point he wasn't even sure if it should still be called an A.I. chip anymore. Secondly, the world i'll opened up a unique space in his soul known as 'the source of the extraordinary' meaning that no matter who practises his extraordinary method their knowledge would also be imprinted onto him which also reduces the possibility of him being taken ahead by his juniors. And lastly, this was from Kaos, not the will of the world it seemed that he left his inheritance to whoever could make an impact on the world. Elric couldn't help but shudder when he thought of those eyes that seemed to pierce through the void, it felt like all his secrets had been seen through.
Before he had time to check his body he noticed everyone seemed to gather around looking at him weirdly. It was George who finally spoke up "Elric did anything strange happen while we were asleep?" obviously from his tone, it seemed as though he was sure that nothing did happen.
But unfortunately, he met our protagonist who even back then on the blue star was known for his thick skin. "No, why would you ask that?" still thinking about how to escape the current situation Elric replied.
" Cough cough " It was Davis who brought everyone's attention back "young master it would be better if you saw it yourself" with that he led him over to the lake outside the cave.
Looking into the cave Elric couldn't help being stunned, his blond hair had turned silver and his blue eyes turned pitch black as if to symbolise the night. But what stood out the most was his physique! his skinny build had somehow turned into what most people would describe as a work of art! the standard eight-pack abs coupled with his sharp piercing eyes it seemed his demeanour had changed overnight.
Taking a deep breath "A.I. chip scan my body!"
[Beep! Scanning in progress.]
[Beep! Scan complete. Elric. Strength: 4.4, Agility: 4.5, Vitality: 4.4, Status: all injuries on the host are currently healed with a slight genetic strengthening taking place]
Looking at his current status he was sure to take down Davis even without having fighting skills. "It seems that whatever the will of the world did to me also has a strengthening effect" however he had more important things to do than admire his new looks, turning his head to the crowd he spoke "Everyone! Last night our ancestors spoke to me in a dream and gave me great power to lead us to the future!"
"What!?" Ignoring the gasps around him, everyone faced a calm face. It sounded unreliable, and after he changed so much overnight he could just say he discovered a way to be extraordinary through the use of his A.I. chip. That is his biggest trump card and he's not going to let anyone know including his closest relatives.
"Young master, although what you said sounds incredible, how can we be sure that you have such power?" This time Davis spoke in a somewhat unwilling tone; he felt like his position as the strongest was being threatened.
Ignoring Davis, Elric stretched out his right arm which seemed to release black smoke. "As you can see I have already mastered this power and you can also master this kind of power!" Showing a bright smile knowing he had already caught their attention, after all, who wouldn't want to have power, especially after all that happened yesterday
"But!?" Before Davis could finish speaking he was interrupted by George "Enough Davis this is obviously for the benefit of all of us why do you keep interrupting him" Although the others didn't speak, the displeasure in their eyes spoke for themselves. Knowing that if he spoke again he would create a gap he shut up wisely.
Surprisingly it was the thin shy boy from before Harris who asked the next question "u..um..young master I would like to learn. what is it called?" feeling the gazes all around him he began to stutter while looking to the ground, it seemed he mustered up all his courage to say those few words.
"Well, I don't seem to have a name, why don't I give it a name?" Elric spoke, without waiting for them to answer he continued "Magic! I'll call it magic!" the black mist in his hand began to change to different forms as he spoke.
"Magic?" George mumbled under his breath apparently like everyone else he had never heard the word before, however since Elric was the one teaching them they had no opinion.
Deep in the void, at this moment an unknown existence opened its eyes, it seemed to turn its gaze towards Elric and the others "Is it about to start?" with a slight pause, it closed its eyes and continued to float in the endless void.
