Synopsis

World Manipulation

~Inside Wanderer's Forest

"Hey Boy ! Don't just stand there ! Catch that hog !" said a middle aged-man carrying hunting equipment.

"Yes" said a yet to be adult boy.

[ Order ! Launch Zephyr Element ! ]

Shouted the boy, while holding his hand up, targeting the escaping hog.

Wind began compiling in his hand forming a sphere. "Take this !" he shouted. The wind in his hand then, like a projectile, launch to the hog. It managed to severely injured the hog's feet. The middle aged-man then approach the hog and deliver the finishing blow.

The man and the boy then went out of the forest to a nearby village.

~ Gischkel Village

The man and the boy then settled down in the village's bar. They ordered food and began chatting. Their seat however was in the very corner of the bar, rather isolated from the others.

"You did good out there." said the man.

"Thank you, but it's a team effort Mr. Ekoda " the boy replied humbly.

"I guess it's true then, The Singular really is coming back to this world." he whispers.

This time the boy stayed silent while looking down avoiding eye contact. It's as if he felt guilty.

"But, It's okay boy, I won't tell no soul. You had helped me quite much by now. You helped me hunt, do my chores and meddle with a soon to be old man like me. So what if you're a singular? You didn't have a choice. If anyone makes you an enemy, I'll stand beside you." said the man seemingly trying to calm the boy.

"Thank you very much Mr. Ekoda" said the boy.

"But, I am curious, what exactly is it that you did just now?"

"What do you mean?" the boy asked in a clueless face.

"You know, the Order? is it?"

"Oh, that !" replied the boy.

"Someone once told me that, When a Singular was born into the void of existence they were given the ability to manipulate worlds."

"Manipulate Worlds?"

"Not exactly manipulate the whole world I guess, but it means we can somehow manipulate anything in any worlds that we enter. As for what I did, I manipulated the wind and launched it to the hog."

"So you can do that with anything? Not just wind?"

"In theory, yes. However it requires practice from time to time."

"Seems unbelievable to me. With that much power, what do you seek coming to this world or any other worlds?"

"I don't quite know myself. The moment I came to a realization of what I truly am. I was already here in this world." said the boy.

"That's too bad for you boy. But don't worry I'm sure it'll work out."

"Thanks Mr. Ekoda"

Singular. A supernatural race capable of bending the world itself. They're powers are known as the [Order]. The [Order] has limitless capabilities be it to manipulate any element, increase or decrease one's abilities, or perform unnatural phenomenon. To use an [Order] a singular must first know "command". Command is a word of power that specify the singular's world bending abilities. It is currently unknown how many commands are present throughout the world. Even so, to activate a command, the user needs to have knowledge regarding the word of power. This can be done by 3 ways. First, is through self-taught. A singular shall learn the meaning of a command through meditation and practice. This will lead to him/her gaining knowledge of the word of power. Second, is through knowledge transfer. It is possible for a singular to learn a word of power from another singular through this method. It's quite complicated nonetheless since it requires both the user to do a skin on skin contact usually by joining hands. The knowledge bearer then simply thinks about the command and its meaning. The knowledge then would transfer to the receiver granting him or her the same knowledge as the bearer. The last possible way is to absorb the knowledge itself from a dead singular. Though not many practice this, some ancient texts mentioned that it is in fact possible. If a singular were to find another singular's corpse. It is possible to extract their knowledge regarding the word of power. This is done by skin on skin contact, while simultaneously the receiver needs to think about the word he/she wanted to learn. As said before the user can't learn any command that he or she haven't heard yet. So the receiver must know the command word first before extracting it from the corpse.
