Chapter 3: Everything about the new world I
Jack found himself floating in a dark void, one that stretched endlessly, with no ground under his feet, no sky above his head, just endless black that went on forever.
The silence was so deep it felt like it could swallow his thoughts.
’Where am I, I’m not dead again right?’, he thought, and he started checking if his heart is still working or if his brain is dead, his hands moving over his chest, feeling the beat, touching his head, making sure he was still thinking, still aware, still alive.
Then he felt it,a strong pressure, a weight pressing down on his soul, something massive looming around him.
[Jack or Lynx now, you’re the chosen one of the All Powerful System... after billions of years of searching. Now it’s time to tell you everything].
Lynx was listening, he can’t see anything but the endless black void, but he’s feeling some presence, really strong presence, a presence that felt older than time itself.
[The system originated from the Absolute God, the Strongest God in the Celestial Heavens and Below, he fought against the other gods in the Celestial Battle of the Gods, a war so vast it tore through dimensions, where stars fell like rain and the sky itself was split open].
[Almost all gods against him, he gave his all, he burned with rage and power, but he was overpowered at the end, betrayed by his most trusted people].
[But he didn’t go down alone, how could he, he didn’t fall without a price, he destroyed the celsetial heavens, he pulled the golden halls down, he shattered the thrones, he killed most of the gods and almost all the creatures in the celestial heavens, their screams echoed through across dimensions]. The voice spoke with coldness.
[He used the last of his power to create the system, his will, bloodline, he poured everything into the system, his memories, his hatred, his hope, all of it went inside, then he vanished, into nothingness, no trace left, he was just gone].
[You can also say when you unlock the full power of the system, you will be the strongest being, even surpassing the other gods, you will stand above them, above the heavens, above fate itself]. The voice spoke with certainty.
[You will learn further as you get stronger with time, i’m restricted from telling you everything about the heavens and the Absloute God].
’Wow this is crazy, so tell me everything about this world I’m in, how it works’, Jack asked, he was listening carefully, every word sinking into his mind like a blade.
[This world is called Aetherion, a world where The Blessed rules, and all races exist, a world split into continents of different races].
[9 billion population in total, but the world is x10 bigger than earth, so don’t think about what you’re thinking].
’What was I thinking, I haven’t even think’ Jack complained but the system or voice ignored him.
[4 billion Humans, they can mate with any other race, they adapt, they learn fast, they survive anywhere, from deserts to frozen mountains].
[1.5 Billion Elves, tall and elegant, with eyes like the moon, they live in forests that touch the clouds, they master magic that humans can only dream of, their cities are made of living trees]
[1.5 Billion Dwarves, the greediest races, and they makes the weapons and every tools, and equipment used in Aetherion]
[1 Billion Beastkins -catkins, wolfkins, Rabbitkins, foxkins and other beastkins, they run faster than wind, they hear whispers from miles away, they have claws that can tear steel, and instincts that never lie].
[400 Million Demons, all demon races].
[300 Millon Vampires, as you know creatures of the night, they walk when the moon is high, they love human blood, they never age, pretty cool creatures actually].
[200 Millon Dragons, oldest creatures and the strongest]
[But all races don’t live together, each have their own kingdoms, vast lands that belong only to them].
[They’re not enemies either, nor friends but some keep alliance, peace treatie, but the human race and the vampire race are lifelong enemies, it’s in their blood, it’s in their history, no truce can stop it].
’Well it’s expected, no one will want to be friends with creatures who sees you as food, but damn I can’t wait to meet some elf’s’, Lynx thought grinning at his own thinking.
But inside him he felt something else, something new like excitement, fear, and a hunger for power.
They system continued anyway, its voice growing louder, filling the void like thunder rolling across the sky.
[We have normal beings and we have Blessed, Blessed are beings or creatures blessed by the Gods, marked by divine power, chosen by fate].
[They awakens at 16-17 once a human passed that age, no matter what they can’t awaken. Of some rare people awakens late, people who trained themselves to the ultimate peak, and some other luck ones chosen by the Gods].
[But it is rare, once past 16-17 and you aren’t feeling divine powers in your body, it means you can never awaken or be a Blessed].
[Just 16-17 for Humans, other races have different ages they awaken].
[All race varies, but this is a mana world the mana is thin but it’s still there, people use it to push themselves to be peak, to be different from normal].
[Many humans are not born with abilities but they strive hard, study things, train their body, drink potions to help them grasp small magic].
[But being a Blessed put you above your peers, it gives you powers and abilities surpassing normal standards, it makes you a monster among men].
[Once a blessed awakens, the world trembles, the air shakes, the ground cracks, among the 4.5 billion humans, only less than 500 million are blessed, that’s how rare they are, one in ten].
’Are all Blessed strenght the same?’ Jack found himself asking
[No, There are Blessed above Blessed, some blessed just live normally, do day to day activities, build families. Some abuse their powers, some try to take over but fails, because all Blessed can never be the same, there will always be people stronger, sitting at the top in].
[A Strong Blessed can take on a full country, an army of millions means nothing to them, they are that strong, they are living weapons].
[There is an academy blessed attends, a school to teach them how to control their powers, how to grow, how to fight, those stuffs academy are used for, they train day and night, they bleed, they break, and they become gods].
[But take note this isn’t Earth where you came from, this is Aetherion, a normal human is still strong, think about a peak human, a soldier who can run for days, lift a horse or a truck and won’t sweat, break stone with his fists, yes that’s how strong they are].
[Because they aren’t blessed doesn’t make them weak either, they still live, they still train and fight, and they still survive].
[Humans here live up to 300 years without being a blessed, their bodies are tough, their will is steel, a blessed is practically immortal, age doesn’t touch them, wounds heal fast].
[Blessed can also be killed too, but it’s hard, you need divine weapons, you need to be another blessed but stronger than your opponent].
[Human blessed have a tiny golden flame mark imprinted on their forehead, other races have their own... Each blessed have their own abilities, some affinity with fire, some ice, some lightning, it varies some have 2 or more abilities].
[You’ll learn about the other races as you get stronger, but for now you’re focused on the human world, the human continent is where you start].
[You’re going to conquer the Human continent, where you have absolute authority, be the strongest here before you travel and do the same to each continent].
[Your goal is to become the strongest Blessed to ever live and you shall have powers that surpassed even the Gods themselves, powers that rewrite reality, powers that make the celestials fear your name]...
’This System hasn’t even tell me about anything concerning this new body I’m at, has he forgotten what he brought me here for’.
