Chapter Zero: The Man who was Created
Allen remembers a lot of things; things that he shouldn't remember at all.
He remembers being born to an Italian couple in the year 1820. He remembered dying to a Snow-Blizzard that lastest for 9 days.
He remembers reborn again in the same country in the year 1946. He recalled with vivid details of what happened before the Common Market was established in Italy, he recalled the politic unstabilized in 1978 and how his family survived. He recalled how he moved to America in 2006, set up a shop in 2007, adopted two children in 2008 and how he died in 2018 from a car accident.
And then, he remembered life before this one; when he was born to a Father who was a great author and how he died from it.
He even remembers living as a ghost for more than 200 years in a world full of human and puppets. And then, living as a plant- a fruit three- for about 500 years. And those memories aren't all of it.
With all of the memories inside Allen's head, at the age of 2 years old, Allen notices and come to an understanding for the first time that he wasn't normal.
No. For the first time ever since he could remember, even with his old and previous life(s) memories, he awakes to the truth of himself.
It was his fourth life, living as Allen- an orphan from the Old Kingdom that had been run over by the Beast Tides.
In a world of magic and swords.
A world called Grindarlea. This world has 4 Moons and yet, only one sun. 9 days in a week, 5 weeks in a month, and 12 months in a year with a Leap Year once every 12 years. The leap years only have 4 weeks; 2 weeks for the red moon period and 2 weeks for the blue moon period.
Weirdly enough, the languages or name of the month was all in Italian.
This world was huge so it has a lot of gods and goddess that help and governed the world. This was the results due to the 9 Common Elementals and the 6 Branches of Magic.
Elementals; Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, Wind, Metal, Dark, Light and Summoning Spirits Arts.
The 6 Branches of Magic; Nether magic- the magic which made it possible for the magician to creates and destroyed dungeon(s), Void and Neutralized Magics- literally what it means, Space and Time Magic, Lightning Magic, Echo Magic- or Sound Magic, and Ancient Magic- the Origin of all the Magic's magic.
It was this world that Allen came to self-awareness of who he really was.
He wasn't a real soul. No, that's not it.
Allen was not human at the beginning of time. No, when he was first created, Allen wasn't even Allen.
Trinity of the Three Souls.
He was an Artifact created by Chu Meng Yi and Li Youran using a bird's bone, a dragon's heart, a demon's core, and some materials that he cannot recognize even with all of his memories together.
He was a Flying Mount. A Flying Mount that Chu Meng Yi and Li Youran had created because of boredom. He gains a spirit through a blood pact with Chu Meng Yi, making him the first flying mount to ever have a physical human body. He had stayed with both Chu Meng Yi and Li Youran for more than 4000 years. And then, Chu Meng Yi had to leave because of transcending to a higher realm.
Allen doesn't remember what happened after that because all he recalled was missing his mother and fearing his father.... Li Youran was an absolute nightmare without Chu Meng Yi.
In a way, his father and mother are Li Youran and Chu Meng Yi, his creator.
... It was no wonder why and how it was possible for Allen to keep getting reborn without losing any of his memories.
At first, Allen finds it hard to believe. But when he died in that world for the first time, he met Li Youran- One of his Creator.
Li Youran wasn't someone who would talk to you nicely, if at all. However, he also wasn't ordinary. With a touch of his finger on Allen's forehead, memories of more than 4000 years that he Do Not remember experiencing came alive.
That's why and how Allen came to believe that he would never truly lost any memories that he has even when he died.
That's why, when Allen, or Erin, as what he is now known as, came to understand himself at the age of 2 years old- when his memories started to come back during a high fever that he has, all that Erin could do was groaned out loud with a designated moan and continue to fight off the fever.
