180 The Truth And How It Ends
When Red disappeared he has emerged with the memories of this world. He saw how the world was birthed and how it nurtured its inhabitant.
At first, the world is just an energy. However, it attracted the other energies and absorbed them until it become big.
Then, the first life form was birthed. This life form is the simples form of life. It did not have a mind but was not sentient.
All it knew it to eat and reproduce. Further than that, the creature did not know it.
Meanwhile, as time passes by, the first creature had evolved.
For thousands to millions of years, they evolved, and finally, some gained sentient.
After a billion years, the first human had appeared. At this point, the most intelligent creature is the humans. However, they are weak.
It was like a character from a video game that had high intelligence but low physic.
Red waited for a long time to see them evolve. However, their ev
A young man is sitting under the tree near the beach, leaning on it as he seems to be asleep. Enjoying the shade and the sea breeze gently on his skin. *Ding* *Ding* *Ding* Moments later, rings of a bell can be heard which indicates the time. Specifically, time for work again, and also, the end of lunch break. The young man was named Red, or as the orphanage director called him which he adapted as time passed by. As his name suggests, Red has fine scarlet hair which seemed to be finely dyed, and seemingly crimson eyes but if you do not carefully look you may miss it. He was raised in an orphanage ever since he was a
Meanwhile, somewhere in the middle of the ocean, a dark and gloomy ship is sailing. The ship is very unusual, it's sailors are skeletons, that of an undead. Its sails are filled with tatters and patches and on above it a single black flag was raised. The flag is painted with an eye that's pierced with two bone swords. Inside the ship, in the gloomy room, a lady not older than 25 with exquisite looks and curves on her body that was sitting in lotus position had her closed eyes suddenly open as she muttered, "At last, the time binder is now born and about to awaken." Her lips curved into a fine smile that lightens up the gloomy room, akin to moonlight in the depths of the night. She stood and walked to the navigation room of the ship and pointed in a certain direction.
Red closed his eyes to calm down. He relaxed his body. All the thoughts in his mind disappeared one by one. The beating of his heart slowed down as he felt a unique feeling that he only felt for the first time, tranquility. The tear in his soul that is just recently mended still has marks, but at this moment a mark in the soul that is hard to remove is starting to disappear at a rapid pace. As it disappears, Red can once hear a tearing sound from his soul, and the tearing this time is twice more intense than the previous. At the moment in the foggy place, Red's glabella suddenly shines a piercing crimson light and starts 'absorbing' Red's reflection in front of him. Little by little the reflection is becoming fainter as time passes by and after a while, it completely d
Inside the forest, there was a lake that perfectly reflected the scenic view around it, the risen sun, the steep mountains, the tall trees, and the blue sky. There is only one word to describe this view, 'amazing'. This is the best place Red has ever gone yet, aside from the habitat of Little White, of course. On the shore of the lake, a young man with scarlet hair is roasting the meat of a wild boar and a white 'bird' is perching on his shoulder. The delicious fragrance of roasted meat can be smelled in the air and the beasts nearby that smelled the fragrance can't help themselves but to droll. But they dare not steal the roasted meat of the young man as their instinct told them of danger, even if they just show a bit of their greed towards the meat they will die in less than two seconds.
"This cabin was built for you, to be specific a waiting place for you," the old man added. "Eh?" Red was stunned and don't know what to say. He was flabbergasted and confused, how did they know that he will be here? Is this all a scheme? Was the death of his dear friend, Ienze, part of this scheme? His eyes turned crimson as he remembers the death of his friend, the anger and hatred that was hidden deep in his heart once again resurface and took control of him. But this time he did not hear the tearing sound from his soul, his heart beats fast as if it was racing instead. The blood in his veins felt alive. Every drop seemed to have a life of its o
"How can I become a magus?" Red asked. He was eager because part of him is telling him that he should become powerful. Or else, he would not know how he would die, and, aside from that, he would not be able to get revenge for his dear friend. "Not so fast young man. Let us first know each other" Red turned red from embarrassment. He was a little rash to ask, they did not even know each other's name yet. "I am Red, and this is Little White," Red introduced himself and Little White to the old man. The old man gave Red an odd look. How can Little White be little, his size is definitely not little. He is comparable to an oversized bird. With a wingspa
Right at the moment, Red finished testing the link between him and Little White, Kane came and asked him, "Do you want to become a magus?" Red excitedly answered, "Yes." "I forgot to tell you, there is a level beneath the nine cultivation stages. It is called the novice stage." "In the novice stage, you will be called novice magus, and a novice magus does not have a mana core. But, they still can cast spells, but it is so weak that sometimes it even fails." "But that does not matter, a novice is not called a novice for no reason. It is the preparation to become a magus. A novice's job is to familiarize mana, how it works and how can it be used or how to use it to trigger the elements." <
"Congratulations on meditating successfully for the first time," Kane congratulated Red as he opened his eyes after meditation. "You must be eager to cast spells now and by the look of it, you are suitable to become a magus." "But, before giving you spell models to study, check your spiritual space first." "Clear your mind of all thoughts and let consciousness flow to your spiritual space." "This is not meditation. So, at all cost, try not to sense the mana and the elements in the surroundings because they will bring you to your meditation world," Kane warned Red sternly as he emphasized the word 'do not.' "Just let your mind go blank, it shouldn'
