(*I know I said I was gonna change the way I write to make this more understandable, or more spacing, well... this was drafted a week ago, didn't have time to change this and wasn't dedicated enough to care so you just have to trust me that next chapter there won't be a wall of text in your face)
dimension world Ilatra, full official name Ilatra Casanova, a place where there is no star that shines the day, a world, a planet that is forever traveling straight in the cosmos, the dark sky enveloping the planet is what some fear but what hides behind it are stars and galaxies that can be seen even with the naked eye. the city of anomalies is the world's most popular place, villages are littered far away at the shining city of Casanova to see the beautiful stary sky, the light of the city of Casanova is so bright that once inside you'll never see the dark sky. there are communities, portal hubs that liters in the city of Casanova, the goddesses set multiple planets revolving around the planet Ilatra, approximately 500 are known to be revolving around the huge giant planet Ilatra, one planet that I'm currently resting at is at world:project, it's a small planet that only has the radius of 1,500 km. it's a baron planet with no life or mana to generate, only members can get in the planet legitimately by teleporting in, for non-members of the community, the only way to get inside would be to sky jump or go to outer space and enter in, although it's practically impossible. people who have contributed to the goddesses that will change the system of the world will be granted protection of the goddesses, one such was Kirin Sakuraba. he has made world transportation, dimension transportation and time change all possible, it was a feat nobody could accomplish, manipulating mana to his will instead of using ether. "Nick! didn't know you came back?" "ah, Sylvia, where are the others?" Sylvia, she lost her surname... well more like forgotten her surname, she's been a chaotic for 100 years, she stopped massacring planets by the time she got what she wanted, Absolute Smite, a skill that can destroy a small planet. a girl with long purple hair and casual clothing. "they're still in the middle of research, by the way, about the new recruits" "the girl's new at fighting so go easy on her, the other one's capable at fighting but mediocre at best" "I'm not talking about that, it's about her skills" "ahh that, I've given her a few, she was an anomaly even before I've given her skills, apparently she received her blessing from someone else" "ahh... well then about those two, they're good to enter, where are they now?" "training just outside Casanova" "thanks, I'll go meet them right now" haahhh peace and quiet.
I haven't been this comfortable in my life, truly a place to relax, although we have practically zero defense mechanism for intruders or disasters, the place has no Mana and it dissipates mana so we can't use magic here or skills that need mana. this place was a baron wasteland but thanks to a few people we managed to make this as luxurious as possible... although this place may seem luxurious there's no nature, there's no atmosphere in this planet or world so it's not possible, only this place guess I'll go back to Ilatra for now...
black sky with no star anywhere, it's scary but scenic, the outside of Casanova though, now that's nature at it's finest. trees of made of Ether that it faintly glows the dark areas, stones that glow in dark caves, this world really is a planet of treasures, these anomalies use these items for weapons that they like, no one bothers with armor because their skills can just carry them all the way through. system, Isabelle's coordinates please. -alert: Isabelle's coordinates, north-east, 1000 meters- huh... not that far, they're just inside the forest of glowing fruits. these fruits contains Ether, not mana, surprisingly researchers of World:Muse created these fruits, we're currently in a good relationship with them, they help us with research and we help them in gathering, most of them don't have fighting skills, cultivation, analysis, and creation. all of them are past researchers and they have an array of races, bunny and sheep beastmen, some Dragonoid smiths, and humans. our community mainly consists of people who can fight. ghoul warriors, human berserkers and a few actually sane people, we have 30 members and the top 3 holder of strongest is me, 1st is the leader and the 2nd someone I don't really talk to. we're really like a band of mercenaries, fight for more power, main reason why most of us are chaotic or have been chaotic.
"Nick! you're here!" "Isabelle, how's Naoya's training?" "We haven't found any strong monsters, It's actually surprising that these monsters are made of mana" -alert: Naoya has killed L'ais, a fire serpentine and Mel'marh'A, a dragon Gargoyle, Naoya has strengthened blood scythe- "huh... well congrats Naoya, you can probably last 20 or fewer hours" he's panting quite heavily that he can't respond "hahaha... well you can take a rest today, how'd you find this part anyway?" "w-well... we asked a few people and they said one of place to train was the glowing forest, monsters kept running away from me but not to Naoya apparently." "well the reason is that those creatures fear Anomalies, rather than target you, they target someone with less Ether" these creatures were made to be hunted and trained on, they'll revive with no memory on what happened to them, I'd say that's dark but it's mercy for the poor souls "Where can we rest?" "ahh, you'll rest on our base, it's much safer rather than here anyway... system, can you teleport us to base world:project? -request available, teleporting now- great!" most of the time this fails due to incompatibility but I even know why that happens. anyway "we're here!" "Welcome! recruits!" just 4 people huh... well the two they have met... probably... "H-hello there... I-I'm Isab-belle... Civia..." "Naoya Ironhart" "Nick... you've changed huh?" "changed? no I didn't" "oh really!~ little Isabelle is here as proof!" "p-proof?" "ahh so you haven't talked about it then?" "wait aren't you supposed to introduce yourselves?" "ahh... right I forgot, well I'll go first. I'm Ma'li Juno, the current top one ranking in world:project, a pleasure to meet you two" a Man clothed in Light clothing, he resembles an angel if not for his personality "I'm Tamamo Mae, the 10th place holder" a girl clothed in blackish blue, she hides most of her face but when in our base she takes it off, quite an assassin though. "don't underestimate her, she's good at reconnaissance and spying at other people's privacy" "idiot... isn't it your turn?" "hahaha... well please let me, *ahem, I'm Sylvia, I don't have a surname so you can just call me Sylvia or something" "Sylvia here has been one of the longest-running members here, although she lost her surname due to being chaotic of too long but surnames are just surnames so don't mind it" "now last is me, you may have meet me at Nick's House, I'm Noel Maya, currently 18th place holder for World:project, I don't fight but if I need to I use my voice and instruments, they're coated in mana and ether essence so they'll only work on me" "and one of the richest people here in World:project, seriously mind donating some to me?" "nope!" hahh... well that was a good attempt "well I wouldn't mind helping out sometimes but you gotta work for your money, I'm not donating" "Come on! even just a little bit?" "Nope! but if you want, want to work for my company?" "hell no, what do you think I am? Labor?" "hahaha the usual Nick, well if you change your mind I'm always open" "why don't you take the opportunity?" "Isabelle my child, he's an evil person that'll work everyone to the bone! they might get a lot of cash but I am not Labor!" "Haahhh... Nick here just doesn't want to work for a boss, not his style" "SHUSH! I don't need any of this! I'm going back to my room!" I'm done! "... he entered Mika's room..." "KYAA!!!" "haahhh... well I'm sorry for Nick's behalf, his just... Nick..." "hahaha..." "GET OUT!!!" (I feel sorry for Mika and Nick's students...)
I'm Ma'li Juno, 1st place of the hierarchy, "Ma'li... should I call you that?" "Isabelle! yes, you can call me anyway. what's up?"
"well... about my training with Nick... he said I was supposed to ask for others since he's resting"
"well, you can ask Mika for that. she might need another friend... and a person to apologize for Nick's intrusion" she nods and takes her Leave... that kid's recently just became an anomaly and she already has one of the strongest skills.
"Ma'li sir, what brings you here?" Naoya's room looks extraordinarily clean, considering who's teaching him... "just checking the conditions of your room" his room looks quite ancient but this is what Nick thinks he's comfortable with. "Ma'li... just curious, what kind of person is master" what kind of person? "well... in reality, he secluded himself from us from the time of the incident, oh right you don't know about that... well let's just say this... wait, this might take a long time, so would you like to listen to me for at least 10 or so minutes?" he nods and sat in a chair. "well... guess it's story time..."
-"Nick's been an anomaly for about 500 or so years, we honestly don't know since no one has seen him become an anomaly, info on World:Kara has instigated that Nick has skills born from others. although they don't have any information on this even if they did they won't give them to people as it's giving bias to certain world communities. Nick's past, he was known to be the king of death, he uses his skills quite efficiently and a thing that he'll do, always do is faking that he is weak or pretending to be tired in a middle of a fight, a way to let your opponents lower their guard.
there's a reason why Nick has taken that kind of fighting though, the community Kara has no proof but it's one theory after asking some witnesses. it's believed that Nick had a lover once, her name was Heila. Heila wasn't an anomaly like Nick so he was hesitant, not in a way that he's scared of love, no! the real reason why he was hesitant was that it might affect Heila. if an anomaly gave an offspring then that child is immediately sent to death's door, there's no loophole in this. but that's if an anomaly gave birth to a child, what if the one that gave an offspring was a human? if a male anomaly and a female, normal person mesh with together then what will be the result?
as what it would expect, a monster, Heila gave birth to a demon, a demon that takes the form of a human, it's an anomaly yes, an anomaly child is quite unexpected considering the gap between each age, yes some people will look like 18, 15, 10 or so but never a one-year-old, they are simply reborn back being a child, not knowing what happened to it but what Heila gave birth to was an anomaly child, an anomaly to anomalies, now this is the troubling part.
anomalies are age immortal beings, except you Naoya. Me, Nick, Isabelle, all of us are anomalies, and we have the image of a child to an adult, never changing but Heila's offspring was different, he has immortality but not it's body, Heila died after the birth and the child took Heila's soul as nourishment, quite dark but it's the truth. Naoya noticed this and aimed his knife to his own child, he was, hesitant, he has been, always hesitant but from that time he has known less, he couldn't kill his own child, and now that child has transported to who knows where at the age of 400 or so, and he's been the target of multiple anomalies here but the instant a person witnesses the chaos that thing had made it's already too late, your death will be inevitable. Nick, after 200 years resolved himself in killing what he has made but couldn't find him, and I doubt he could even kill it by himself."-
"his personality became like that because he's afraid that people will exclude him, even us, so he hides it in the facade of a weakling. you curious as to what known skills are that child has?"
"yes"
"good answer, these are his stats" I prompt a panel and show them to Naoya
Name:║╜♀╧♦
age:¥σ╡▌å
skills: chameleon memory. destroyer of the universe. Blood manipulation. Shadow manipulation.
digi♦╧♦. age manipulation. gender mani╧♦ß↨@. dark spirit's blessing. World link transport. ß↨@¥╡╜♀v╧. -------------.-------------------.----------.
"This is all of them although I don't remember the glitch, I might ask World:Kara for. this information hasn't been touched for several decades...
well, that's about it, you can guess what kind of person he is judging from how he talks, he's kind even if he's a bit selfish."
"thank you for taking your time Ma'li sir!"
"j-just Ma'li is fine, you don't have to be formal with me" "I see... I will call you Ma'li from on then."
Nick might be having his year rest, for now, I couldn't even sense any ether from his body, did that fight really took him that much? oddly concerning considering that Nick's capabilities are higher than anyone here. Naoya's below average if compared to a normal anomaly but considering his training and right now actually he's improving quite faster than an anomaly.
Isabelle doesn't like fighting but her skills are extraordinary and since I have her information I wouldn't say she's not part of the community, she's nice despite the clothing but her clothing though... I might ask miss Mei about this.
