Within the vast emptiness of the dark void, two human-like figures, a man and a woman, stood exactly five meters away from each other. There was no platform of any kind beneath their feet, even then, they stood firmly not losing their balance.

The man looked to be in his late forties with a mohawk hairstyle, the two shaved sides of his head complimenting his appearance. The black suit with purple lining he wore could not hide his well-muscled body. He floated there with legs put together and hands behind him which emphasized his large muscle-packed chest. The most fascinating thing about the man was his pure black eyes with glowing purple pupils that looked intimidating even when he wasn't frowning.

"After so many years... I guess this is it, *sigh*. " The man said in a deep and calm voice that echoed out in the void.

"Yes, it was bound to happen anyway," said the woman standing away from the man. Although shorter than the man, she was still quite tall even though there was no one around to compare her height with. She appeared to be in her mid-forties just like the man with a slim curvaceous body and a beautiful oval-shaped face. She wore a white fitted gown with wide sleeves. On top of her head of curly golden hair that reached her waist was a small jade crown with nine gems.

"Let's just hope that this won't come to bite us considering the amount of emotions we might end up investing in it." Jurdelious spoke as he looked at the floating ball of multi-colored 'light' in between both of them, which seemed to be shrinking at a rapid pace.

Jurdelious and Krene slowly moved toward the seemingly solidifying ball of light. Looking closer at the ball of multi-colored light, a baby slept peacefully at its center. The reason the light was shrinking was that the baby who was the source of the light was gradually dimming.

Finally, the multi-colored light completely disappeared to reveal a fair-skinned baby who had already opened its eyes, looking around with a level of curiosity not befitting its age. The first thing to enter its sight was the golden-haired white-robed woman.

Krene approached the child and held him in her right palm similar to how one held a bowl showing how large she was in entirety. " It's a boy," she said while smiling. "Hmm, mortal and esper children would be crying by now.... just look at how he's staring at me, hehe."

"You can't compare the birth of a mortal to the birth of a god Krene," Jurdelious called out as he came over with a kind smile. Suddenly the smile on his face disappeared, his purple pupils glowing more intensely, he said. "What should we do about the others"

Krene, although still keeping a calm and happy face her eyes could not hide the arrogance that threatened to burst out if tested. " For now, nothing. Some reminders will be good. This is something that has been set, I don't believe anyone will be stupid enough to challenge me."

Jurdelious hearing this could not help but have an expression filled with pride. As he looked forward, the space in front of them rippled like a water curtain, then froze, then cracked and shattered.

A young man in a white suit who gave the vibe of a committed butler walked out of the portal with a smile "I congratulate Lord and Lady on the addition of a new member to the family"

"Ah! Yes, Ris, thank you, make preparations we're going to be leaving the domain temporarily, set down management protocols" Krene spoke while holding the baby closer to her bosom as she and Jurdelious moved into the portal.

"Yes my lady, and where might I ask will we be going." Said Ris.

"Hmm..." She turned to look at Jurdelious thoughtfully " We'll be heading to Planet Green Cloud then."

"How splendid, a perfect environment for raising a new god." Said Ris as he followed them into the portal.

.....

*Ninety-two hours later*

*Location: Planet Green Cloud*

On a wide, long, and noisy street filled with small shops and houses, Jurdelious and Krene stood outside a wide and open compound filled with weeds at the end.

In the center was a storied house that looked like it had seen better days, the walls were cracked in different places and looked like they would give out at any moment

"Ah yes, the house, neighborhood this would do," Krene said as she walked towards the house.

As soon as her feet stepped into the compound *WHOOM* the entire building collapsed as if a powerful and invincible wave had hit it. As she went forward, it was like her immediate environment responded to her every step.

*Step*

The house completely disintegrated into dust,

*step*

The weeds withered,

*step*

A tall wooden fence popped out of the ground and surrounded the compound.

*step*

Concrete walls burst out of the ground.

*step*

A grey cemented walkway formed.

By the time she stopped walking, she was in front of a new house with a bright green lawn in front and a clean walkway.

Jurdelious appeared instantly behind her, holding the baby which was covered in a clean white piece of clothing in his arms. Both of them were now 'normal' size.

He observed the house, nodding to himself occasionally, he let out "A hundred years, his time starts now."

Both of them walked through the door of the lovely house.

None of the inhabitants of the streets noticed the new house that just appeared in the vicinity, to them it was like..... the house had been there for years.

    There's a saying that everything that happens in the universe has an explanation, whether it be logical or mystical, but sometimes what is to be explained doesn't matter, what matters is the level of understanding possessed by an individual to process that explanation. Nevertheless, that means that the existence of gods shouldn't be an enigma.All beings who possess a soul can be categorized into different classes namely; Beasts, Mortals, Espers, Spirits, Otherworlders, and gods. Every one of them is unique in their ways, especially the mortals and espers who are spread countless races and spread across different levels of civilization.The gods, being the most unique of all entities, have a unique way of coming into existence. For something or someone to die they must first have life and ALL that has life can and will die. However, it's a different case for gods because they don't even possess life so therefore they cannot and should not die, the concept of life and death will for

    Jurdelious sat comfortably on a yellow couch that could normally contain three people, occupying half of the entire couch with his shoulders alone. In front of him was a wide screen showing a news channel, the reporter was talking about a wanted group of terrorists whose images were put on display just in case the civilians saw them. His eyes which were no longer black with purple pupils but regular black and white showed that what he was hearing on the screen was only amusing him and nothing more."*sigh*, mortals and their shenanigans," He said.Krene's voice came over from the kitchen like she heard his voice all the way from there." Oh don't be a hypocrite Jurdelious, your ways aren't pure either" Although she said this, her face was neutral, she didn't really care about what he was saying."That's different" He stood up from the couch, revealing his seven feet form, and headed to the window to just stand there. He stared at the green clouds that only appeared during the middle o

    Everyone at the scene was completely shocked by what just happened.A man with glowing purple eyes had just shown up out of nowhere and pushed their car 'gently' with his leg, in the process killing eight men including the black-suited leader gruesomely.Also claiming to be some god or something. Teddy and the rest of the armed men were completely flabbergasted. But seriously, no one would react to a man pushing a car out like it was a weightless skateboard normally."Hmm, I've already suppressed my strength so much. Everything just feels like cardboard these days," Jurdelious muttered to himself.If other people heard him, the level of their shock would have increased. How much of his strength was he suppressing and how strong was he exactly?Teddy and the rest of the men stood rooted to the spot, "what! Wait... what just happened?" he said as his mind tried to explain what he had just seen.Fortunately or unfortunately, Jurdelious's voice woke him from his stupor. "Normally, I would

    *One Year Later*Al'ravee followed Ris's advice and started meditation. He did his research and found out that what Ris had said about his father was true, he was starting to wonder what else he didn't know about his parents. He followed some online meditation sessions every night before going to bed and it did help. Until now.Al'ravee was currently sitting on the bed against the wall in his room. In his hands was a large math textbook, and beside him was a notebook and scrunched-up pieces of paper. Barking sounds could be heard in the background from the neighborhood."Why does he have to make it so difficult to understand? Why must we show our workings, huh? How did those guys do it anyway? If only I could copy how they did theirs" Al'ravee had at some point developed a habit of talking to himself whenever he was alone.*BARK BARK*The sound of the dogs barking traveled into the room from the neighbor's house. At this point, Al'ravee's face showed extreme irritation. Because of his

    Mortals and Gods.Among the two possessors of consciousness, mortals can be considered to be at the bottom, in terms of quality that is. Their existence was sustained mostly by decisions made instinctively towards external stimuli and they possessed a really low level of base individual power compared to the godsBeasts, usually low intelligent categories of mortals. Destined to be eternally oppressed by the smarter, stronger, and well-organized members of their class.They were either tamed or killed.That was why these two dogs did what any other large aggressive dog would do.They charged forward baring their fangs and claws, hell-bent on drawing first blood.Initially, the distance between Al'ravee and the two dogs was around six to seven meters but it was shortened within two and a half seconds.The slim dog which was faster than the chubby one reached him first.Al'ravee stared ahead with a blank expression.His instinct would have told him to run or dodge, but he lacked the most

    Al'ravee woke up on his bed to find his books on his lap, no cuts were on his body and his clothes were as good as new. For now, he couldn't remember anything.He went downstairs to get something to eat because he suddenly felt like he hadn't eaten in days.His parents were not home. Probably didn't bother telling them where they were going after seeing him sleeping.For some reason, he felt calm. Picking up his phone, he decided to read an e-novel while he ate.This was what he did during his free time. Reading e-novels and comics....*The next week* ...Al'ravee could be seen walking through the school gates along with hundreds of other students.He checked the time on his mobile device before proceeding to his class. Upon entering the classroom, his sight fell upon a few students. Not all had arrived yet or we were just not in class.Al'ravee spotted his 'gang' sitting together in one corner of the classroom. Four pupils could be seen sitting by the window having a discussion.

    *Later That Day*The school gates had students going out. Al'ravee, Murry, Selou, and Ivan walked out of the school gates while engaging in a discussion. "Ravee, what do you enjoy in those novels that you read all the time," said Ivan.Murry remained quiet as he walked behind them with Selou.Al'ravee responded as if he had waited for such a question. "You see, there's a certain joy I get when I get to see someone's life pass before my eyes, kinda like a spectator."Ivan clearly didn't get the vibe of what Al'ravee said. "I wonder, if you had time for your academics just the way you do for your e-novels, maybe you would have better grades. hehe. "Al'ravee was speechless. It wasn't like there was anything he could say to refute those words though.Ivan turned his head sideways just in time to see Murry wink at him from the corner of his eyes."Psst" Ivan called out to Ravee. He nodded his head backward. Al'ravee immediately understood."Remember, just as we planned, first the gaze thi

    Months passed since that day. Ivan and Selou started a romantic relationship together. Graduation was approaching and a lot of students were getting excited about life after high school. Some in school were preparing for college education, while some had other plans.All of them were oblivious to the turmoil going on in their star system....In the vast expanse of the dark void, a bright white star floated there, suspended in nothingness, spreading its radiance on the ten-plus planets revolving around it. The ninth planet away from the star. Boasting a circumference of fifty thousand kilometers, It was completely barren, filled with nothing but yellow rocks.Currently, half of the planet's surface had colorful lights flying around and it wasn't from celebration though, but from war.If a human-sized lifeform was to stand on the planet, it should only see a quiet wide stretch of brown and yellow rocks... They should. Right now, everywhere was crowded and filled with blaring noise.*S

    “Priya! What was that?” Clancy came over with worry for Priya.She had previously left Priya alone because Galgamuth was present, but when she heard that loud noise, she became very worried.Luckily, from what she was seeing, no harm was done.“Galgamuth is down there,” Priya said while frowning. She faced the direction from whence the being came from.Clancy looked over. Because of the wall, she couldn't see who was there but she could see traces of a red glow she recognized too well, and a foreign green glow.“Priya, let's go.” Clancy said as she saw the intensity of this glow fluctuating.They both knew Galgamuth had encountered someone who was keeping him occupied for now.Anyone who could keep Galgamuth busy for so long was definitely not an ordinary person.And if this was to break into a fight…“Priya, we have to go now!” Clancy repeated, this time raising her voice to allow Priya to register the alarm in her tone.If this was indeed going to break into a fight, they had better

    Meanwhile,Priya sat on the balcony as usual, this time accompanied by Galgamuth only.Galgamuth had his hands on the railings as he anxiously clenched down on them.“No need to be worked up, I have a feeling that things will go well,” Priya said while putting on a gentle smile.Hearing this, Galgamuth breathed heavily, “Did you get a vision?” He asked, his eyes filled with a longing for hope.Priya shook her head, “Unfortunately, no.”Galgamuth sighed helplessly.“But you shouldn't be worrying, even if something was going to happen, I'm sure a miracle will put everything in order,” Priya stated.Galgamuth turned to look at Priya with a strange look, “Miracle?” He scoffed, “I never took you as one who believes in taking chances.”Priya smiled at this, “Indeed, I don't believe in taking chances, that doesn't mean miracles can't happen.”“Miracle or not, that doesn't change things much. You're starting to sound just like Talliu.” Galgamuth said this with an awful expression.“Although h

    The sudden transformation into a large two-tailed fire fox startled the enemy combatants.Rijinna, in her fox form, lunged at the nearest person to her, which was a non-human.She jumped over ten meters to sink her teeth into the neck of the non-human.“Aaaaaargh!”The green-skinned man shouted frantically as those needlepoint teeth pierced into his soft neck.For a brief moment, the rain of bullets on Rijinna stopped as the shooters hesitated to shoot their comrade, but that hesitation would cost them.Not stopping to check if her victim was dead, the fire fox went after the next person closest to her, bringing all her intent to massacre along with her.At this point, Darius and the others arrived at the edge of the bowl-shaped crater.Everyone quickly ran out of their land rovers with their firearms. Among them, a few of the combatants had gone to the trunks to take their surprisingly large guns. Darius was one of these few.His rifle was almost two meters long, sharing height with

    Meanwhile.The twenty-nine landrovers all sped up after seeing the explosion. The black land rover on the other hand slowed down until the last vehicle behind it overtook it.The twenty-nine dirt brown land rovers continued onward.The black vehicle eventually slowed down. The driver opened the door casually and stepped out.*CRANK!*It was like the land rover had been suffering from having to carry a heavy burden. The noise coming from it after the driver alighted would raise questions anywhere.The driver himself had an appearance that didn't lose out to Rijinna.Standing more than six feet tall with a bald head and a stony gaze, his entire body seemed to be a statue… literally.He looked like a work of art that was carved out of magnificent grey stone. His muscles seemed well moulded and his jawline was as sharp as a cliff.Every movement of his was accompanied by a grating sound, like a stone rubbing against another stone.“Zillis, do your thing.” From the radio in the car, Darius

    One beautiful moon hung in the sky of planet Tavron. The light reflecting from the Daystar conveniently bounced off the moon, allowing the moonlight to shine on the still-recovering wasteland continent.The atmosphere seemed so peaceful and pretty, if only this silence could last till the end of time. Alas…A convoy of makeshift land rovers, thirty to be exact, rode fiercely on the dry wasteland like dirty mechanical beasts.All of them were armored, while ten of them had guns mounted on the top with someone manning them.A swarm of one hundred-odd bikes rode around this convoy, with two geared-up humans sitting on each bike.The combined roars of their engines scared away all low-level life forms while forcing the bold ones to remain rooted in place until they passed.Large centipedes and other nocturnal creatures could be seen scurrying into their burrows.Out of the thirty armored land rovers, the twenty-ninth on the line seemed a bit different from the rest.

I never planned on leaving it just the way it is anyway.”As Al'ravee said this he looked down at his hand, the perfect grey color reminded him of someone.Al'ravee opened his mouth to name himself. “My name shall be, Al'ravee Divera Murreleous Randolez Takuti Weada Balcin…”Al'ravee listed a total of twenty-two words for his full name. Some names came from his reference to certain people or places.Space seemed to want to flow and break at the mention of that full name. From now on, unless someone knew and called Al’ravee’s full name, he would never notice.As though to prove a point, the calls that had been in his head for some time immediately disappeared. No longer was he annoyed by the na

    “To think this mortal was able to derive an approximate time for our arrival, she has even seen your rough image, that's impressive,” Ozia said, his voice was laced with genuine praises.Currently, Al'ravee, Iyah, Norderline, and Ozia stood on the outer surface of the Golden Eye spaceship.“Who?” Al'ravee asked as he stared at the magnificent and humongous planet thousands of kilometers ahead.“There's a mortal who possesses the Oracle Talent in the same environment as your Darius descendant. She already knows we are here.” Ozia said, his glowing red eyes focused on one point in particular on one of the continents.Al'ravee looked at Ozia and then followed his eyes to the continent he was looking at. His two eyes immediately turned into two mirror balls as he manifested his concept of sight.He locked on to a wide stretch of wastelands, looking further, his eyes found a black fortress that seemed to have a lot of people gathering near its gate.On further inspection, he saw an old lad

    Priya and Clancy walked side by side, with Clancy's hand resting on the former’s right shoulder.“Darius has successfully integrated himself into our society as an inexpensive asset.” Clancy began, her voice echoing across the long spacious hallway.“Yes, he has,” Priya replied, undisturbed by the sudden words.The walls in the hallway were a smooth light grey, as though they had been sculpted into existence, rather than being built brick by brick.“We watched him rise over the past ten years, right under our noses…” Clancy continued. “Yes, we did,” Priya said.“His accomplice, Talliu, is peacefully placing both hope and doubts in the hearts of the commune's members, hope that goes against what we stand for, doubt over the very purpose of what we stand for.”“I know.”“We could have stopped it, but you told us some years back after your injury that they would be beneficial to our cause.”“Yes, I did…” They reached the end of the hallway, taking a turn down the spiral staircase before

    “Omega Vitamin?” One of the figureheads said with a grave expression. He had a short stature and had bushy black beards on his face.Darius placed his hands on the table, allowing his weight to rest on them. He breathed in and out slowly, his mind engaged in deep thoughts.“Yes, Omega Vitamin,” Galgamuth said. For some reason, everyone seemed to hover between the thin line of joy and sorrow, not knowing how they should feel.“From the letter, this Omega Vitamin is being sent here from their headquarters. How they managed to lay their hands on it is unknown, what is of concern to us is that they are sending it right into the arms of the Vaderian Cult base.”“Being concerned is one thing, doing something about it is another.” said another blonde-haired man at the table who wore black-rimmed glasses.“If this is the case what do you suggest we do?” Another woman asked.Subconsciously, they all turned to look at Priya who still had her eyes closed. “I already tried, I can't see any outco
