The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

After Damien told his fabricated story, and the group of pixies sobbed at his story, two minutes have gone by. And in that time, the pixie prince sobbed the greatest out of all of them.

"What a sad, sad story." It glanced towards Juliette's stomach, and even more sadness oozed out of its body.

"..."

Juliette did not say anything at all, and just stood there. In the story, she actually lost her children, through miscarriages. That was sad, but not all. She was actually almost s*xually assaulted.

Ten times.

She could not believe that these little guys would fall for this. "Missy, if you want, we can give you a royal wish that can alter the whole of Existence, and give you back your offspring. Do you want it?"

The little pixie prince inquired out of pity. Juliette was warned about their sneaky behavior, and turned to Damien, who nodded at her. "Yes." She agreed.

"Well, would you like an ordinary pixie wish? A noble pixie wish? A royal pixie wish? A mystic pixie wish? Or an enigmatic pixie wish?" The little guy shrewdly asked, like a business man.

"Enigmatic." Damien said, then added, "I feel like that's what we can currently afford. Anything else, and it won't be much. I need the best of the best to succeed."

"...Amazing. A great man, must have ambitions. Well, if you want that, you have to go through fifteen of our trials. Would you like that?" The little pixie asked, ignoring Damien.

But he, himself did not ignore it. "We'll take two wishes, each one for each of us."

"...Okay then. Anything else, unfortunate hero." It asked, and Damien shamelessly responded. "Do you have any other specialties of your kind? I'd like to experience some."

Hearing his words, the little pixie prince beamed once again, "Yes!!" It then further elaborated, "We have the God Tree. A Tree that can give you any three great rewards of your choice, if, and only IF, you can impress it."

"We also have the Faith Pools, that can give out abundant faith to anyone who is a god, or is searching for a way to become one. One barrel per person." It winked at the last sentence.

"What do you say? Would you love to try them out?" It asked, all excited and expectant. Damien also feigned excitement and responded, "I would love to."

"That's freaking great!! But first, what would your wish be?" It asked, rubbing it's palms together, as sparkles danced within its eyes.

"I wish to avoid the coming future." Damien casually said such, and the little pixie's expression froze. "I cannot do such a thing."

"I wish to become Absolute." He changed his words, and the reply, "Oh? I can make that possible to the level of the entire Existential Bubble."

"I mean beyond Existentially."

"Forget it."

Both man and pixie stared at each other until Damien changed his words, "Fine. I wish to make humanity transcend their past and future. Is that possible?"

"Hmm?" The little pixie prince thought about it, searching within its records (brain), what humanity was. Moments later, it beamed and heavily nodded its head. "Simple. Done deal."

"Now, to seal this deal completely, here are your trials young man." It waved it's hand and a Template appeared before Damien, which would determine to what extent his wish would reach.

[ TING!! ]

[ You have triggered the pixie race's Hidden Quest: Wish Trials. You will be given trials that will be formed from your Fate, Karma, Fortune and Misfortune ]

[ Once you succeed, you will obtain a Hidden Class that correlates to your being and that of your wish. To unlock the next trial, one must first defeat the former trial ]

[ 1. Child of Inferno ]

[ Detail: The infamous King of Inferno has planted out multiple off spring within each powerful race within the last century. These off springs are born demigods, yet the most powerful and most favored off spring resembles the King of Inferno more, and has inherited his Inferno Blaze ]

[ You are to hunt down the Inferno Prince, and see to it that he is either extinguished, or brought to the light. For another King of Inferno, might destroy the balance the Dimensional Realms have established ]

[ Reward: Infernal Energy Circulation Technique ]

"..."

Damien read through the first trial, and was impressed. He was more glad because this trial, had to do with one of his close friends from the previous timeline.

It was striking two birds with one stone.

"Missy, you're next. What would your wish be?" The little pixie ignored Damien and moved on to Juliette. She first paused and slightly panicked, for there was a lot to wish for.

But for her, 'Wouldn't wishing for a happy ever after with Damien be the greatest wish for me?' She thought, but later felt slight pain on her forehead.

"Don't waste your wish on something that is bound to happen any day from tomorrow." Damien reminded, and went back to assessing his trial.

"..."

Juliette pouted at his words, but found that they did make sense. She then thought of what wish she truly desired the most right. What did she need, that would benefit her family the most?

She thought and thought but could come to an answer. She felt like there was a lot to wish for, and she could not choose from each one.

"Don't stress yourself. You have a couple weeks till we leave, so just relax." Damien patted her shoulder and said, then turned to the pixie prince.

"We'll deal with the God Tree and the Faith Pool later. For now, we are tired. Is there anywhere we can rest?" He asked, despite knowing the answer.

"Yes, there sure is." The pixie prince waved his hand, and golden glitter spread out everywhere. Moments later, a large mansion appeared before them.

"..."

"..."

The duo was stupefied, and the pixie prince said "You can stay here for the time being. And please make yourselves at home. The world is currently going through an evolution, and it would not end till a few days later."

"An evolution?"

The duo questioned at the same time, and the little pixie nodded at their shock and further explained. "Yes, an evolution, or rather, a transformation. It would be similar to a Tier 1 material realm by then."

"A realm that is comparable to Reality if you will. In other words, this world would be the equivalent structure of a reality, and be formed through nothing but Universal Rules that make up a Reality."

"..."

"..."

The duo was even more shocked at hearing this, but the pixie prince did not stop. "With this, people's potential would increase by a point, and the overall Mana and time ratio would be different than the outside world."

"The density would also thicken, that including gravity. Basically, without the protection of a god or demigod, life would be a bit too difficult for civilian mortals." He concluded with a nod.

Juliette hurriedly asked in shock, "Wait, what do you mean our potential would increase?" The pixie prince looked at her, but the one that replied was Damien.

"If your potential was 10, then it would be 11. Something like that. And the higher the Tier of the Realm, the higher the increase would be. A Tier 7 Realm, would increase potential by 7 points."

"But that's for another time. What's important is that, potential determines how much Mana one can absorb every minute, and how far they could reach in life. The higher it is, the greater your path of power would become." He concluded as such.

Then the pixie prince took it from there, and as for time ratio, at Tier 1, the world would flow seven times slower than other worlds. A year here, would be seven years down below.

"But because of that, the path of Ascension here also becomes seven times greater than normal worlds. If you include the +1 potential mark, then you all have it better than average worlds." It also concluded.

And Damien nodded, "What it said."

"I see." Juliette said in understanding. Basically, the world just became foreign and stronger to her. And for some reason, that excited her greatly.

"Well you should not worry, we are within our own world now. We will be unaffected by the change greatly." The pixie prince said, Damien nodded and added, "Mana absorbed here will also be increased by ten times. Use it wisely."

"Yes." Juliette nodded in excitement. She already had a one thousand three hundred times boost thanks to her affinity and bracelets, adding ten times to that, would be over a hundred times more than usual.

Then a few days later, adding the effects of the Tier 1 Great World of Gaea, then would it not top to almost five hundred times the Mana that she could absorb?

But more importantly, "With the breathing technique, would I not absorb over hundreds of Mana every second? Within a day, how much is that? Then within weeks?!'

Juliette was looking forward to that, for right now, she had already her breathing in the fresh, sorounding Mana of her environment.

Damien also did not let off such an opportunity off. Juliette had spent many efforts teaching him and his parents the breathing method, then spent much more teaching it to the Gray House.

But nobody was as lucky as her and her man.
