Chapter 8 - The Letter

Luciel grabbed the sheet with his right hand, removing the coin with his left hand and then putting it back on the black book, and then bringing the sheet closer so he could read what was written.

There was a beautiful handwriting written in gold ink, and just by reading the first part, Luciel would quickly go into shock.

[Dear Earthlings, Congratulations, it is my duty and responsibility to have to warn all of you who read this letter, that your home world, Earth, no longer exists. It came to an end, and it was destroyed, and with it, all living beings that lived in it ceased to exist.]

"Hey? How? ... Earth is destroyed, is was real?" Luciel wondered. - "Really ... everything that happened was real ... really the Earth is ... Destroyed?" - Reading such a thing returned to shake Luciel who began to think that perhaps it was all a dream, or that perhaps hem the others and Earth survived. - "So, where am I?"

But before he could continue to think about that question, Luciel remembered a specific moment, a moment that he thought about over and over in the dark place, a moment that would mark him forever.

"No, no, no!" - The young man yelled as he gripped the sheet tightly, even so, it did not seem close to being split, or wrinkled. - "No, please ..." - Luciel began to cry.

He felt that his world was being destroyed in pieces, the young man did not know what to do, but again, the same strange sensation attracted him to the sheet, making him forget at times the screams of agony, terror and fear, destruction, death , and most of all, the faces of those he loved as the end that was fast approaching.

Luciel read the contents of the sheet again.

[Even so, Congratulations, because even though it was your destiny to perish alongside your world, one hundred million people have been given the chance to survive, you have survived the end of your home world, and have obtained a new opportunity to live by being sent to this world, the Great World of Gea.]

Luciel was incredulous and rejected the idea that this was real, but looking up, he finally understood that what he was reading was true.

"..." - Luciel looked at the sky, a beautiful blue sky just like Earth's, but with a not minuscule difference. - "Moons ... there is more than one moon." - said Luciel who could see at least five moons of different sizes and colors in the sky.

"I really find myself in another world." - The young man exclaimed, who then gazed at him and fell silent.

"I'm ..." - after a few seconds in silence, he spoke again. - "I am alive ... but I am no longer in my world ... I am no longer on Earth ... my family ..." - but at that moment he reacted quickly and reread the part he recently read.

"A hundred ... a hundred million survivors?" - Luciel read the same part repeatedly, and then when he read it for the eighth time, a small light of hope lit up in his heart.

"My family ..." - yes, a light of hope that told him that it was possible that his family had also survived, was also in this world. - "The Great World of Gea ..." - said the young man slightly, who read again.

[That's right, all is not lost for those from the destroyed world of Earth, as One Hundred Million of you have survived, finding yourself now in this world, the Great World of Gea, a world that is very different from yours, a world governed by different laws to those of Earth, a world where there is the energy of power known as World Energy, which gives its inhabitants the opportunity to cultivate and strengthen themselves, the opportunity to obtain a power without equal, and reaching to have the slim chance of surpassing the limits of mortality and becoming more than mere mortals.]

"What?" - Now Luciel got confused with what he read. - "World Energy?" - What kind of thing had he read, or so he wondered, re-reading the same thing, he could only understand that apparently this world was quite different than Earth.

[This world is hundreds of times bigger, vast and immense than Earth, and you have been sent to the Continent of Skypea, a continent inhabited mainly by Humans like you, with the only difference that they are much more powerful than you. they have always been able to absorb and cultivate World Energy.]

[In addition to human beings, on this continent there is also the clearly presence of flora and fauna, although there is also Flora and Fauna very different in certain aspects from those of your world, and, above all, there is also the presence of Magical Beasts. and the Monsters.]

[Even so, do not worry, because we have managed to make your new beginning in this world easier, since we have given you the ability to absorb World Energy, so that you can cultivate and grow stronger. We have also given all of you the ability to speak, I heard listen, read, understand and reason to perfection the Universal Language, the language spoken by all the inhabitants of the Great World of Gea, so they will have no problems in communicating with the natives of this world, whose some individuals have already been informed of your arrival.]

[The other gifts are the Black Book and the Gold Coin that are next to you. The Black Book contains basic and necessary information about this world so that they can understand and adapt faster to this world, information mainly from the Continent of Skypea, where they are currently, recent information to the 50th day of the Month of Darkness of the Year 9987. While, with the Gold Coin they will have some money to be able to subsist for a few days without problems.]

At that moment, Luciel looked at the two objects, was extremely interested in reading the Black Book, and was grateful for not having to worry too much about having money to get something to eat.

[But bear in mind something very important, all of you should be careful, because, as I already told you, the Great World of Gea is a world very different from Earth, a world where the Law of the Strongest rules completely, a world where they can only live peacefully and without much worry or fear if they have enough strength to protect themselves. Only through Power will you be able to live better, that is why it would be optimal for you to cultivate, become stronger! Do not trust in anyone, just trust in your own power.]

[Only the Path of Cultivation, Battles and Power will lead you to let yourself be mere and weak mortals, only through World Energy will you be able to have a quality life and without worries in this world, for that reason never forget that, you can only rely on your own power.]

[Resist! To all the danger around you.]

[Fight! In the face of any adversity that comes your way.]

[Cultivate! To free yourselves from the chains of the destiny of mortality and to leave behind the weakness that condemns you to live like prey.]

[Prevail! For only through a long road full of difficulties that you will face will you be able to reach a place beyond what is known to you, become something more.]

[Survive! For your lives are the most important thing you possess, lives that got a second chance thanks to the sacrifice, courage and love that saved you, the hundred million survivors of the end that the rest of the Earthlings had to suffer.]

Luciel could feel the voice of someone who said those words directly to his mind, although he did not understand how this was possible, he could hear it clearly, he could feel a burning inside him that told him that only through power and strength could he reach to be something else, but at the same time, there was a cold sensation that ran through his body that extinguished that feeling.

[Resist! Fight! Cultivate! Prevail! Survive! The decision of your own destinies is yours. Resist! Fight! Cultivate! Prevail! Survive! Well, the cruelty of this world will swallow you up and will destroy you if you do not get stronger. Resist! Fight! Cultivate! Prevail! Survive! Only by cultivating World Energy, experience in battles, and a will of steel will you be able to leave mortality behind. Resist! Fight! Cultivate! Prevail! Survive! Make us interested in you, and that way you will get a gift that many of the natives of this world desire.]

[Resist!! To all adversity, pain, and failure.]

[Fight!! For your futures.]

[Cultivate!! Power is everything, and without Power, you are nothing.]

[Prevail!! To all that this world offers.]

[Survive!! Do not ruin the gift you have been given, a gift that you do not deserve to be honest, a gift that would be the worst crime to waste.]

[RESIST!!! FIGHT!!! CULTIVATE!!! PREVAIL!!! SURVIVE!!! FOR THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU, SURVIVORS OF THE END, TO BEGIN A NEW STAGE OF YOUR LIVES IN THE GREAT WORLD OF GEA.]

Luciel felt the passion of those words, but again a strange sensation made him feel confused, and he did not get carried away so much by the thirst for power that those words emitted in his being.

[Without further ado, I wish you good luck in your new lives, and do not forget, do not miss out on this new opportunity, this unique gift that you have been given. Yours sincerely, the High God of Messages - Alamud Kermes Sender.]

Once Luciel finished reading, the page began to slowly disintegrate into small, bright particles of light that were blown away by the breeze of the wind that carried them back from where they came from. - "Whoa." - Such a scene marveled and surprised the young boy.

The information he had gathered was difficult for Luciel to digest, and he only sat in silence for a while.

"Ah ..." - Luciel grabbed the two objects and finally stood up. - "There is no point thinking about it so much, the Earth is destroyed and right now I am in a world called the Great World of Gea. " - Luciel said as he looked again at the sky adorned by various moons.

"Even so, maybe ... and just maybe ..." - Luciel said from the bottom of his heart. - "They are also here."
