Good thing Arran was a genius and his physique made it easy to control all kinds of energies, so the first problem was resolved. Now Arran just had to fine-tune his control over his energy.

This part also wasn’t a problem for Arran, since he already had prior experience in doing something like this.

This experience stemmed from back when Arran was training his bloodline in the academy after returning from Fort Crawford.

The conditions back then were quite similar to now. At the time, Arran had to perform a handstand with a large earthen stake on top of him. The weight of the stake was as heavy as two mountains... literally. And Arran had to bear the entire weight with his own body.

Fortunately, Arran didn’t have to bear the entire weight on his body... not exactly anyway. Instead, by using a mystical method, the weight of the stake was transformed into powerful pressure that was applied directly to Arran’s bloodline for the process of refining. During this process, Arran also had to a

    Arran was lost in concentration as he tried to wrestle with the energy in his body. He was trying to make it flow in a different way from how it was used to. This proved to be quite tough, as for the first time, Arran’s energy refused to listen to him.This was the first time Arran was facing such a situation. Previously, his energy had always been at his neck and call, and Arran had never experienced any difficulty in controlling it, even when he had first started out.But now it was like trying to tame a wild husky.It just refused to listen. This was quite understandable because what Arran was trying to achieve is like attempting to go against one's own instinct.What is flow?There were different answers to this question. Some would say that flow was a distinct pattern of movement or the continual progression of substance in reverse to stillness. But in fundamental terms, flow is an instinct... an instinct to ward off stagnation. It is this instinct that leads to movement, which

    “How is he doing?” Eris asked in concern, her eyes trained on Arran as she refused to look away.It has been more than thirty minutes now since Arran started attempting to control the flow circulation of his essence energy and throughout this time his eyes had been shut tightly in concentration.Everybody else had fallen silent save for the slight buzz in the air that came from the pressure emitted by Eris’ father.Both Eris and Charmy had been wracked with worry as they watched Arran in silence. They understood what he was attempting and knew just how dangerous it was.They weren’t worried that Arran’s life would be in danger since Eris’ parents were present. Should anything go wrong, they would definitely save him in time.No, what they were worried about was that should Arran fail, he might become demoralized and it might lead to him not leaving a good impression on Eris’ family.The relationship between members of the royal family was close-knit but weird and somewhat dysfunctiona

During this time, he naturally got to know the Von Vilysivich family closely.Emperor Hyperion was the Earth ruler of the Aeth civilization. His wife Avery came from a side branch of the Von Weissen royal family and was Charmy’s aunt. It was through this relationship that Eris and Charmy became very close friends.In the Von Vilysivich royal family, there were only two children, Eris and Erin. Surprisingly, Erin was married and already had a son.Erin’s wife was Eliza, who came from a branch of the Von Gregory royal family.

    Time is ephemeral... it exists only in fleeting moments! From the time of Arran’s first visit to Charmy’s and Eris’ families, five years had gone by. To some, these five years were like a long cycle of life where they got to experience a lot of things that served as enrichment to their growth. But to some, it was only a blink. In the unending depths of space that was void of almost all matter, there was a dead and barren dark star that stood alone in the vast, expansive void. On this star, a consciousness woke up after five long years of slumber. For the rest of the universe, five years had passed. But for the consciousness, it was like only an instant had passed between when it fell asleep and now that it was awake. Of course, this was only relative to the distance between various points in space. For a short moment since the consciousness woke up, its mind was muddled. But soon, it recovered its sanity shortly after. Who am I? Where am I? I am... my name... Kasack, that is m

    Ching!Ding!Clang!The grating sound of metal clashing against each other resounded in the air as sparks flew and ripples of forceful waves spread around the surroundings.Puchi!That was the sound of flesh being torn open as blood gushed from the slit throat of a green-scaled creature like a geyser.The body of the green-scaled creature was huge. It could just barely be considered a giant.Standing at two and a half meters in height, it towered impressively over the opponent before him like an executor before a convict. But it was by the blade of this opponent that the green-scaled giant had fallen, its throat cut open, spilling precious lifeblood on its enemy.Thud!The body of the green-scaled giant fell roughly to the ground. From its back, a tiny weird looking creature that was hideous beyond description quickly scurried away from the fallen giant in a haste to escape. But its efforts were futile.With a jerk of the opponent's hand, a brilliant flash appeared in the air. In an i

    The green-skinned mandrakes were a familiar opponent to Arran. They were a species of wild beasts with basic intelligence that grew in the wilds of Etherium.Most of the time, these beasts lived simple lives like every other beast, save for the limited use of simple tools that made for a primitive-level civilization. But at certain times, they would transform into a bunch of genocidal savages that wrought death and destruction wherever they went.This time was during the annual mating season when new offspring were conceived and later born.As a tradition and requirement for the birth of new offspring, female green-skinned mandrakes required a lot of fresh flesh and blood to provide energy to mate and nurture children. This led to the entire species hunting down any flesh and blood creature to satisfy their needs.This behavior is common in all mandrake races which were very common in the universe and not only the green-skinned subspecies. Because of their habit, the mandrake race is

    Arran’s speed was incredibly fast. He whizzed through the air almost like a comet in the sky before landing solidly in a forested patch of land a fair distance away from his previous location.The trees in the forest were huge and densely gathered together. Arran had to slow down to prevent being ambushed by any enemies lurking in the dense foliage.Inside the forest, Arran’s speed was still unhindered and, as he progressed forward, he didn’t encounter any obstacles.Shortly after, Arran reached his destination, but before arriving, he already knew what to expect.Deep in the forest, Arran reached a cluster of trees that were burning fiercely. The ground was scorched me baked until it became hard and the trees had turned into a blackened mass of charcoal.There was not much smoke in the air because something like a vacuum funneled all the smoke and drove it to the center of the burning forest.On the ground, charred bodies of green-scaled mandrakes and ugly furred gremlins littered th

    “What the hell do you want, Galen?” Kellogg barked at Arran angrily.“Are you sure that’s the way to be talking to me?” Arran responded in kind, his tone dismissive.“Spit it out or get the hell out of my way. I don’t have time to deal with you now.” Kellogg said.Humph!“I doubt you would have the brains to even comprehend anything I say, so I’d rather not waste my breath. But I’ve still got to say this...”“Should you really be using your powers so recklessly like this?” Arran asked.“Look what you did to the forest! Everything is burnt up and is a hollow of its previous self. How do you think this will reflect on your evaluation?”As Arran spoke, he threw a condescending look at Kellogg while gesturing to the burnt-up trees in the forest.Still, Kellogg responded fiercely to Arran’s words.“Are you telling me how to do things, hmm Galen?”“I don’t see how it’s any of your business which way I decide to carry out my assignment.

    The End… For Now!

    The battle which would later come to be known as the Apocalyptic Battle For Earth’s Survival ended in a dour note. This battle lasted for 4 hours and many lives were lost. Of these lives that went missing in the chaos of the battle, two were especially noteworthy for their relentless efforts to resist the vile invaders that threatened the planet Earth.They went by the names Arran Galen Von Stratenoff Nero and Faith (Poltergeist) Ohimai both of whom were presumed missing but still alive. Nobody knew where they went or what corner of the universe they currently found themselves. But wherever this was, they were both surely missed and everybody prayed for their safety and eventual return. … The Etherium… inside the royal council hall. A meeting of the highest importance was currently being held. In this meeting, every council member was present. Along with them, there were seven extra seats which were located at the highest point in the entire hall. Seated upon these esteemed chairs w

    Arran was sucked away into the void fissure which closed immediately after, but not before Poltergeist had managed to latch onto his thigh for whatever reason. Seeing Poltergeist clinging onto him, Arran was confused before suddenly developing the urge to retort vehemently. But he wouldn’t have that time for things were just starting to go very wrong. The space within the void fissure was just that… a literal void where nothing existed but the vast expanse of space. But the stability of this void was seriously compromised allowing for multiple fractures in space and time to open up in the surrounding void. Due to the force of the vacuum that pulled arran and Poltergeist into the void fissure, the two of them were barreling through this space uncontrollably without the ability to stabilize themselves. Arran was too weak at the moment after having all his strength drained from him while releasing the Earth’s World Will. As for Poltergeist, she was also weakened. This was because she

    World Will

    The awakening of the world's will of earth was not something Arran had ever expected much less that its awakening would have to do with him. It was then that Arran realized the cause of everything. In Arran’s hand, Soran lay there quietly, no longer trembling as before as if it had gone to slumber. But when Arran thought of how everything that just happened was all because of it, Arran was shocked beyond belief. Arran thought that he already understood what Soran was capable of yet only now did he know that he was yet to scratch the surface of all of Soran’s capabilities. Soran’s ability, Triumph, granted Arran the means to win. Before Arran thought it only made it so that he could meet his enemies power blow for blow regardless of the difference in the realm. But what if there was a situation where Arran was up against an opponent whose gap in the realm was impossible to cross logically? For instance, how would Soran ensure Arran’s victory if he was up against a god as a mere mort

    Soran left Arran’s hand, trembling powerfully in the air and creating a buzz of vibrations that spread into the surroundings. Arran was shocked by this not expecting it at all. Just as Arran was about to reach out to Soran to grab him, he suddenly paused as a feeling overcame him. Something was calling out to arran. Even more surprised, Arran looked around swiftly but he couldn’t find anybody around him. Then he thought of something and turned back to look at Soran who continued to tremble in the air. Indeed, just as Arran thought, as he focused on Soran, that call rose in his heart once again. It was as if something was reaching out to him through Soran from a mysterious place. Arran didn’t know who this person was but he knew what they wanted… to be freed. Arran didn’t give it much thought at all — there wasn’t anything to think about. The situation right was already dire. In releasing this person, what was the worst that could happen? Inwardly, Arran tried speaking to the ent

    Full Awakening… The Spark of the Universe’s Origin 2

    With the eyes of the old face half open, everything took a drastic turn for the worse for Arran and his group. Everybody else had lost consciousness except for arran who retained only a bit of consciousness in this situation… and one other person. With the opening of the old man’s eyes, the defense line was broken not only on Arran’s front but also on that of the Earth. The barrier of distorted space-time surrounding Earth after its barrier shattered was also broken through. Apart from Eris and Charmy, it was this barrier that prevented the blood sea from approaching Earth. But now that it was broken nothing was stopping it anymore. The polluted blood sea was free to advance on Earth. But the Aeth and the others could also now approach the planet. Having lost consciousness, all of them were free falling into the earth at this moment. They were unable to control their descent and were hurtling toward Earth at an incredible speed. At this height, falling with such a speed was enou

    Kasack vanished from the battlefield, scooped away into the safety of the dark star planet causing Arran to miss his chance at finally ending this threat once and for all. Arran was frustrated not knowing when he might ever have another chance like this again. But he didn’t wallow in his frustration for long. In no time arran calmed down and analyzed the situation. While it was a pity that he couldn’t kill Kasack, arran realized the urgency of the situation. Whatever Kasack did before his disappearance, it was bad… very bad. Looking at the visage on the surface of the dark star planet, Arran’s mind was met with a deluge of corrupting thoughts that tried to erode his mind. Even his resistance granted by his reality gate against mental pollution was not able to stop this corruption forcing arran to turn away from the planet. Yet even then, a chilling and slimy feeling lingered in Arran’s mind as his consciousness was continually under attack. Only with the combination of the World E

    Final Death Throes 2

    In his madness, Kasack did something drastic. He completely unleashed the power of the old one sealed within the dark star planet. Lying within the core of the dark star planet was the old ones' power. This power was meant to be given to his chosen champion as a means to fight the Aeth civilization. It was the strongest legacy left behind by the old one which could not be inherited directly. This power was only meant to be used at the critical time of the conflict with the Aeth civilization. It was Kasack’s greatest trump card one that he was reluctant to ever use. Yet at this moment, In the face of death, Kasack unleashed this power knowing full well the repercussions of his action. Moan! Following Kasack’s mad ravings, a loud wailing moan echoed throughout the surroundings sounding like an old machine shutting down or large gears slowly going still. In the chaos of the battlefield, this sound was so conspicuous that it forced everyone to notice it. Gradually, the fighting stopp

    Final Death Throes

    Kasack was sent flying after being hit by Arran. His chest was sunken and bloodied from the barrage of staff thrusts delivered to him and a mouth full of blood burst from Kasack’s mouth. Kasack was severely damaged, his injuries extremely grevious. But the most severe blow done to Kasack was the blow to his mind and ego. Despite everything, despite all the preparations and plans he had made, Kasack still hadn’t succeeded in killing Arran, yet it was he who was left battered and on the brink of death once again. This thought, Kasack could not bear it. His previous shame which he had hidden beneath a well of anger and rage resurfaced once more, bursting onto the surface like an erupting volcano. Aaaahhhhhh! Kasack didn’t know who was screaming so desperately. In his daze, he heard a voice filled with fury and indignation. His mind was foggy from the impact of Arran’s blows and the bruise on his pride and ego. When the fog finally cleared a little, that is when Kasack realized that
