The chirping of the birds and the cool breeze blowing through the trees brought with it a lively scent, filling the air with a sense of vitality.
The Earth had reached its fill and was now releasing it into the atmosphere, invigorating anyone who dared to take a deep breath.
Despite the beauty of the world around them, the planet's inhabitants remained indifferent, too caught up in their daily affairs to appreciate the lovely atmosphere that their home provided.
They continued to harm the planet, taking everything it offered without a second thought.
But there was one person who might be able to understand the world's plea. Slowly but surely, the world was developing it's consciousness, as the world had taken whiff of the energy he emitted.
Unintentionally, he nourished the world every day, giving it life and vitality.
Today, the man felt happy, and the planet was pleased for him. It made the surroundings more comfortable for him, and the energy around his home grew denser.
The fake hill that once stood nearby began to evolve into a real hill filled with pure energy, a testament to the man's power and the world's response to it.
.....
Erick Home, Second floor,
"Hmm..!!!"
A soft, beautiful hum emanated from the glass chamber, where a breathtaking beauty lay sleeping. As her long, shining eyelashes fluttered open, her wine-red eyes captured the attention of anyone who dared to look into them.
Her stunning appearance was nothing short of breathtaking, and in this moment, she looked like a goddess who had descended from the heavens to the mortal world. Her crimson hair, with its golden tips, flowed down to her hips, exuding a sense of peace and tranquility.
Her snow-white skin, tinged with a slight redness from being in the liquid solution for hours, made her even more stunning and attractive. Her bust was perfectly proportioned to her figure, and her small yet curvy hips only enhanced her appeal. The round, firm curves of her buttocks were nothing short of tantalizing, and her long, beautiful legs had a hypnotic quality that made one want to reach out and caress them.
In short, she possessed a body that would make even the goddesses jealous of her beauty. But it wasn't just her physical appearance that was captivating. The disposition she exuded was nothing short of divine, and one couldn't help but feel compelled to worship her without any malicious intent.
Erick waited anxiously for Aashi to awaken from her slumber, admiring her perfect physique as she stirred within the glass chamber. When her wine-red eyes fluttered open, he greeted her with a smile.
"Ah, finally! I was beginning to think I'd have to wait a few more hours," he said, his voice laced with relief. "Now, if you'll just step out of there and put on some clothes, we can begin."
Erick pressed a few buttons, emptying the liquid from the chamber and opening the glass door. He stepped out of the room to give Aashi some privacy, but found himself unable to shake the image of her naked form from his mind.
As Aashi emerged from the chamber, Erick quickly averted his gaze and closed the door behind her. He waited outside, giving her ample time to dress and collect herself.
As Aashi stepped out of the room, dressed in a beautiful white floral dress, Erick couldn't help but marvel at her stunning beauty. He knew that he had poured his heart and soul into crafting her perfect body, but seeing her in person was something else entirely.
Aashi, meanwhile, felt a deep sense of gratitude towards her master. She knew that he had laboured tirelessly to create a body that was worthy of her soul, and was overjoyed to see that it had surpassed her wildest expectations.
"Master!" she called out, interrupting his reverie. "What were you thinking about?"
Erick's expression faltered for a brief moment as he was caught off guard by Aashi's sudden inquiry.
However, he soon regained his composure and flashed her a sheepish grin. "Just admiring your beauty, Aashi. Your soul has truly infused every aspect of your body, and made it a thing of unparalleled beauty. You truly are one of a kind," he replied, his voice oozing with admiration.
Aashi blushed and covered her cheeks with her hands, acting like a cute little girl. "Ohh, Master... you don't have to compliment me so much. It's embarrassing," she said, her eyes shining with a mix of joy and shyness. "Master! Can I learn more about these feelings and emotions? It's the first time I've experienced it, so I want to know everything about it."
"Hmmn! I am fine with it. I was just about to mention it, as it would be needed if you want to evolve ahead. You have the best talent, so you will only need one month to learn everything about the expressions and feelings," Erick replied, his voice filled with encouragement. He knew that the more understanding Aashi had of human emotions and behavior, the better it would be for her development as an assistant.
In fact, he was even considering making her the CEO of his future company, so he could have more time to laze around.
Aashi's gratitude was palpable as she expressed her thanks and promised to work hard to make him proud.
Erick's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from downstairs. "It's almost time for Mother and Father to wake up, and they will be in the dining room shortly after. Before that, we have to move there. Also, I have to introduce you as a close friend whom I met a few days ago. For now, this will do," he explained to Aashi, hurrying her along by the hand.
As they entered the dining room, Erick introduced Aashi as his close friend, and the two of them proceeded to act out their roles to perfection.
Aashi, who had been programmed to act human-like, played her part with finesse, her expressions and gestures perfectly in sync with the situation.
Erick couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he watched Aashi interact with his parents, her every move seemingly natural and effortless.
It was clear that she had come a long way since he first created her, and he couldn't wait to see how much further she would go.
......
Erick led Aashi to a small alley, which was secluded and away from prying eyes. This spot was going to serve as their transportation point to the island where they would execute their plan.
The place was empty, as it was used only for the purpose of dumping waste. Erick whispered to Aashi, "This place will do, as nobody is here at this time of day. But next time, make sure to buy a house nearby, so we can teleport ourselves without causing any disturbances."
Aashi nodded in agreement, "Yes, Master. I will do that once I finish the work you have assigned."
Erick then transferred his knowledge of how to make the labour force LB model to Aashi's mind.
He emphasized the need for her to have enough resources to expand the work faster, as he wanted everything completed in a month and ready for business by the following month.
Aashi had only recently awakened in the physical world and was still adapting to the new environment. Therefore, her powers were limited to scientific applications.
Erick was confident that with time, Aashi would assimilate both her body and soul, allowing her to use most of his skills. They shared a special bond, which would eventually grant her that privilege.
"Master, I will do my best. I promise to finish it before the next month," Aashi said with a determined look on her face, reminiscent of a shonen protagonist.
"I know you can do it, Aashi. But please remember that the location of the island must remain a secret," Erick reminded her with a smile, patting her head gently.
"I understand, Master. I will be careful," Aashi replied, nodding her head in understanding.
"Good. Now, come here and stand on this circle. It will teleport you directly to the island. And remember, if you need to come back, just give me a warning so that I can perform a reverse summoning spell. Alright, off you go," Erick drew the Archrunes of teleportation on the ground and had Aashi stand in the middle to ensure the spell's efficiency.
"Okay, bye Master! See you later!" Aashi said with a cheerful smile before disappearing in a flash.
Erick then left the area and returned home. After greeting his parents, he went directly to his room. It had been a while since he had proper time to meditate and cultivate his skills.
He assumed a meditative posture and began to cultivate.

My master instructed me to first complete the basic structure and stabilize the foundation before building any facilities. I should observe the island first and then start working on it," Aashi commented as she took in the beautiful surroundings of Blurry Island. Although small, the natural energy on the island was abundant, and it had started to develop into a spiritual land. Aashi took a two-hour stroll around the island, taking in every nook and cranny before coming up with the ideal plan to develop the island as per her master's wishes. The island had a few small hills, a small forest, a pond, and a breathtaking waterfall that fell from the tallest hill, directly into the pond. The scenery was like a painting that had come to life after the gentle touch of natural energy. The island was fil

Aashi pleaded with her puppy eyes. This new tactic had proven to be quite effective in getting what she wanted from her master, Erick. "Alright, let me get ready," Erick relented, still reeling from the cuteness overload. It had been a month since Aashi had begun her island project. She had purchased a damaged building at a bargain price, and with the help of the LB models, quickly renovated it to her master's liking. Erick had also created an illusion to disguise the construction, making it appear like a normal site. Once everything was in order, Erick marked out the area and set up a formation for creating common pills. Aashi then began advertising for workers to help run the company. Aashi was now able to control her body and powers halfway, making it unnecessary for her to have constant pro

As fishermen made their way to the seaside, they often remarked upon the island's perpetually blurred appearance, a mysterious phenomenon that lent an air of intrigue to its existence. Within the ethereal confines of Blurr Island, an abundance of energy flowed, imbuing the land with an almost sacred aura. What was once a small patch of land spanning a mere few kilometers had expanded exponentially, transformed by the newfound infusion of natural power. The island was meticulously maintained, showcasing a harmonious blend of features. On one side, a modest forest stood, adorned with gentle slopes and hills, now accompanied by a scattering of buildings nestled at the foot of the verdan

Renowned throughout the city, the hotel boasted a lavish and extravagant reception, captivating guests from the moment they stepped inside. The rise to fame of the Ais Hotel was owed to a single woman, whose exceptional talent and unwavering determination propelled the establishment from obscurity to the pinnacle of luxury in a mere three years. Aisa Hironaka, with her magnetic charm and resolute temperament, had carved her own path in the realm of hotel management. Alongside her two close companions, she was affectionately referred to as one of the "three untouchable flowers." The Hironaka family, proprietors of a vast and illustrious business, commanded the admiration of the entire nation. Aisa's grandfather had painstakingly built the Hironaka Group from humble beginnings into one of

John whispered to his friend Mark, skepticism etched on his face. Mark nodded in agreement. "I don't believe it either. But curiosity got the better of me, and I had to see it with my own eyes." The murmurs in the common sitting area grew louder as more people gathered. Some were driven by curiosity like Mark, while others were afraid of missing out on a golden opportunity. If the product truly worked as claimed, those who hesitated would regret it immensely. These individuals had spent enough time in the business circle to develop a special sense, an instinct that allowed them to discern between genuine opportunities and mere illusions. The brave ones who dared to believe stood a chance at success, while the hesitant ones would be left behind, their chances slipping away. "Ladies and gentlemen!" Aisa's voice rang out, capturing the

Now you won't complain about being unable to get out of bed and have some fun with us old geezers," Mr. Toya's friend taunted, his laughter echoing through the air. This particular old friend of his had always pestered him, mocking his inability to join them in playing mahjong on occasion. "Hahahha! Old Han, consider yourself invited today. Once this banquet is over, we shall celebrate in our own way!" Old man Toya responded heartily to Old man Han, who was seated in the VIP area beside them with his family. "I'll hold you to that, hahaha!" Old man Han accepted the invitation with enthusiasm. "Hahahaha! Old Toya, you won't invite this old man now that you've regained your health and won this opportunity?" Another influential figure sarcastically commented from across the room, his seating area adjacent to Old man Han's. "Haa... Humph! I h

"This remarkable item, ladies and gentlemen, is the grand finale of our auction today," Aisa declared, her voice projecting with an air of anticipation. The crowd leaned in, their curiosity piqued, as she continued to build their excitement. "Since time immemorial, humanity has sought the elusive secret to extending our fleeting lives. Countless individuals have dedicated themselves to this noble pursuit, often sacrificing everything in their quest. And now, my esteemed friends, we stand on the precipice of witnessing something extraordinary—an opportunity that has eluded generations." Aisa's words hung in the air, casting a spell of intrigue upon the expectant audience. They understood that what lay before them was a testament to the tireless efforts of those who had come before—a chance to grasp the intangible. Eager whispers spread through the crowd, their minds racing with possibilities. "In the

Kristine pouted, unable to tolerate Erick's playful antics any longer. "Hahaha! Alright, alright. Here it is... Aashi is the CEO of the SD Group, the Star Dust Group!" Erick finally revealed, a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he pointed a finger towards Aashi. "Ehhhh!!" The stunned expressions on their faces were utterly priceless. Sensing the perfect moment, Erick swiftly retrieved his camera from his pocket—a clever disguise as a transformed Megatron wrist bracelet. He skillfully captured multiple photos from different angles, freezing the incredulous reactions in time. "Aashi is the illustrious CEO of the burgeoning Star Dust Group (SD Group)!" Erick exclaimed, his eyes sparkling mischievously as he reveled in the success of his prank. Upon hearing Erick repeat himself, the two women snapped out of their bewildered stupor and no
............Aashi gently pried Yuyun from her embrace, whispering soothing words to the frightened child. "Alright Yuyun, let's go. We need to save those big sisters and brothers over there, okay?" She placed Yuyun on her back and quickly moved towards the cries.Erick and Aashi turned and sprinted towards the explosions. Aashi headed to where the injured were, while Erick ran towards the Malice Creatures attacking the elven guards.As Erick reached the first defense wall, he saw the extent of the destruction. The once strong barrier was now a smoldering ruin, and dark, twisted Malice Creatures were pouring through the breach."Boom... Boom... Ahhhh...!" The elves were fighting valiantly, but they were clearly outmatched. Their traditional weapons and combat techniques were ineffective against the Malice Creatures, which seemed impervious to normal attacks.Erick moved forward, energy leaking from his hands, blades of wind and fire shimmering with a strange, ethereal light. "Let's
............"Splash...!!""Whoa... how much energy did you put into that attack, Master?" Aashi asked in wonder, looking at the explosion and the water splashing over their shield."Not much, but enough to crush that annoying portal to bits," Erick replied, glancing down to ensure no traces of dark, foul energy remained. While the area was cleared, some fish-shaped Malice Creatures had been flung into the distance and were being erased slowly."Master, can you leave the rest to me?" Aashi asked, sensing her master's thoughts."Oh, okay. I'll take care of little Yuyun for you," Erick smiled and nodded before crouching down to pat the little girl on the head."He he... Big Brother!" Little Yuyun giggled, enjoying the affection."Okay then, watch how Big Sis handles those bad monsters!" Aashi said with a smile. She stepped onto the water's surface, running across it just like Erick, without causing any ripples."Boom... Bam...!!"Loud noises echoed as Aashi handled the Malice Creatures
............Aashi paused, listening intently. The sound came again, a weak cry. They immediately searched for the source and found what appeared to be the remains of a house, left in ruins after being devoured by the Malice Creatures. Beneath a pile of rubble, they lifted the debris and found a young girl, her body battered and bruised, but barely alive. Her eyes were shut, and her body quivered nonstop from all the pain.Erick immediately used his Origin arts to heal her and fed her a life-saving potion he carried in his storage. Before long, the little girl was cured, and her body returned to a healthy state, making Erick and Aashi sigh in relief.“It’s okay, you’re safe now,” Aashi said softly, lifting the girl gently.The girl coughed, opened her eyes, and whispered, “Thank you…”Erick knelt beside them, his expression softening. “You’re a brave one, aren’t you? Can you tell us if there are any others?” he asked, seeing the girl calming down.The girl shook her head weakly. “E
............“Oh, let me introduce my Master to you. He is the person who eliminated all the malice creatures in this area and the one who made me follow you guys.” Aashi smiled as she proudly introduced Erick to the kids and the Elder.The Elder and the children looked at Erick with awe and curiosity, their gratitude toward Aashi extending naturally to him.“Thank you, Master,” the Elder said, bowing deeply. “Your actions have saved our tribe's future.”Erick nodded, a small smile on his face. “I’m glad we could help. Your strength and resilience are admirable. Even though you lost so many of your tribesmen, you still didn't lose your will and continue to protect the children. It's commendable courage.”Aashi glanced at the children, noticing their worn clothes and tired expressions. “Do you have enough supplies and food? It looks like you’ve been struggling.”The Elder sighed. “We’ve been running low on food and we don’t even have a warm place to stay now. The malice creatures have
…………"This is not good; they are suffering from the bitter ice-cold!" The adult man observed them and realised they were suffering from an illness common among the tribe's people living in these cold plains.“I don’t have any medicine to cure them, damn it,” the man muttered, frustration evident in his voice as he watched their condition worsen.In normal times, he could easily help them with their cold, but now he couldn’t leave to search for medicine. Going out would be like signing his own death warrant if those creatures caught their scent.“What should I do? At this rate, these children won't be able to endure the cold and will succumb to it. No... no... I can't let that happen. These few children are all that's left of our ice tribe!” The elder felt a deep bitterness inside, trapped in a situation where every option seemed doomed.“Boom... Boom...!!”He heard loud noises and movement in the distance, and the tremors suggested that the Malice Creatures had picked up his trail.“
*******…………"Isn't this the east side, right?" Erick asked, feeling a little confused by the scene he was seeing.Erick and Aashi arrived after flying for hours, but they didn't see any forest there."Yes, it should be the east," Aashi nodded, having already calculated the direction when they flew here."So where is the forest that is supposed to be here, and what about the tribe residing here!" Erick muttered, looking at the distance with no forest or vegetation around, only the black, charcoal-like grounds were left."Master, I am sensing a foul stench from there!" Aashi's nose suddenly perked up, and she pointed in a certain direction, detecting an unusual foul scent."Hmm, this isn't supposed to be here!" Erick and Aashi flew in that direction and arrived there.It was a place that looked like a wrecked village or something, with a well made out of sand and mud mixed with blackish substances.Erick felt familiarity with the substances filling the well. After sending his energy d

We are sincerely grateful for your invaluable assistance," Erick and Aashi expressed their gratitude with utmost respect, acknowledging the wisdom and guidance of the revered priestess.Elder Ilona, with a gentle shake of her head, dismissed any notion of inconvenience. A warm smile adorned her face as she conveyed her genuine pleasure in their company. "No, no trouble at all. In fact, I relish your presence. Do pay me another visit in the future," she suggested, her eyes gleaming with joy at the prospect of their return.Erick and Aashi nodded appreciatively, bidding Elder Ilona a proper farewell as they took their leave. Their gestures conveyed their gratitude and respect for the priestess, who had graciously shared her knowledge with them.As they emerged from Elder Ilona's abode, Elder Ryfang awaited their return, a patient figure in the fading light. His curiosity piqued, he inquired

"I have been expecting you."Erick and Aashi exchanged greetings before settling onto the cushions that had been laid out for them. The woman before them exuded a sense of accomplishment, as though she had achieved great things in her life and had the love and respect of nature itself."Thank you, Elder, for having us," Erick said, his voice full of gratitude and admiration.The Elder smiled warmly at the two guests before her. "So, what would you like to hear first? I will do my best to answer all of your queries, but first, let me introduce myself."Ilona, the guardian of the small wolf tribe and priestess who oversaw the ceremonies held in the clearing, introduced herself with grace and poise. Her name carried weight and respect, and Erick and Aashi felt a pleasant warmth to be in her presence."I am Erick Dahl, and this is my companion, Aashi," Erick intro

Chieftain hurriedly replied while hiding his fear and reverence coming from his heart."Ahem, let me introduce you, Chief Ulric, this young man is Master Erick Dahl and she is his companion, Madame Aashi. And you both already know our chief Ulric name and she is the mate of Chief Ulric, Madame Ayla." Elder Ryfang tried hard to ignore the earlier what he felt and maintained his usual smile while he introduced each other, Erick and Aashi to His chief and Madame Ayla.Erick and Aashi observed the now standing Chief Ulric and Madame Ayla in front of them.Chief Ulric is a tall, muscular man with a commanding presence. He has broad shoulders and a chiseled jawline, and his piercing blue eyes seem to see straight through to a person's soul. His hair is a deep shade of brown and falls in unruly waves to his shoulders, and his beard is thick and well-groomed. Ulric also has wolf-like features, including pointed ears and
