Chapter 1: Reborn I

In the Sea State of Nothingness.

A man with silver eyes woke up. "Where am I?" He asked himself.

Then he freed his eyes from the darkness. White sky surrounds him.

"This..."

Then he somehow stood up like he was okay. "Where is that bitch! What did she do!" Yet he could find nothing?

There's Nothing!

Then the blue sky opened, an eye appeared from the sky. He watched it.

Then a scene of his body floating in the middle of something.

He can saw his body yet it was different. "What happened to me? Move!" He shouted. Yet his body did not.

"Purple!" He muttered. The Purple he knew ran at him with red eyes.

"Don't!" He called when purple is running at him for the kill!

"What are you doing purple! Don't do that!" He shouted but Purple didn't stop. She stabs him yet that didn't stop her from doing. Unexpectedly her body emanates with fire.

"This is her soul force! What are you doing stop that! You will die Purple!" Then what he didn't expect a layer of dark fogs protected him. Yet that didn't stop her. What he didn't expect after that stab she hugged him. "Purple?" Then what he didn't expect again was her confession.

"Ah..."

Gner falls unto his knees. Because purple died.

"Ahhh!!!!" He shouted in despair!

Then he saw someone running at him!

Hundreds of soldiers ran at him! 2 General on the front. That generals lead these 500 hundred men.

"This..."

Then his real body moved. "No, don't come after them! Ran away!" He shouted. But his body didn't follow him. It moved towards the soldiers. He is floating towards them! Bright green hair and deep green eyes that flickered in the darkness. The fogs emanated him whole!

"Kill!" The body of his muttered.

"Don't!" Gner shouted.

"Don't..." He watched this brutal scene. He massacred the hundreds of men within seconds. He killed them without mercy! Upon killing them his body move again. It has his own volition!

'If no one kills me then…' He thought what would be the possible thing that will happen.

"Then everyone will die! Only by stopping this damned devil. I must think as soon as possible." He crazily answered his pondering thoughts.

"There are many things about this damned place, no landmarks, trees, and infrastructure. The only thing I can see is the sky and the sky below!"

Then he strolls back and forth in this world.

Genr for a long time observed every details.

The sky turned blue to bright blue if he walked farther away it changes to white. As if there was something at the end of this horizon and is telling him to come, 'that must be it!' glued to his own thought so he tested out.

As the hue getting white, at the end of the horizon there was a green stone which shaped in diamond. It seems like those affinity stones but bigger and brighter by its colour.

"Green Affinity stones?" He muttered.

"This stone must be the power of that devil!"

He connected everything why it is so familiar. The colour and its brightness. He forcefully recalled his memories where this stone came from but it was all blurred from his memories.

As he looked closer to that stone, the insidious power surged out. The power is too dangerous at first look.

A powerful stone which can't be compared with hundreds of affinity stones, no maybe thousands!

'No, I won't back off. This is my only chance to prove that I can persevere and nothing else.' He thought.

Perseverance + Strong willed = Unstoppable.

As if his will to strive is very effective he continued his way towards the stone. He is 8 meters away and as long as he can jump or leap 4 times he can touch it.

Yet he bounced off.

There was a gravity or a barrier that surrounds it.

He attempted but he failed!

"If not for once then tens of thousands!" He called.

He attempted for 100 times! He failed! But his will to achieve didn't make him fall.

"I CAN DO THIS!" That was the only magic word he can mutter.

After a long time, he moved a little, a meter or so. The truth is, it was now his thousand tries! THOUSANDS! He was far from the stone! Just a 7 meters away! If he can do it ten times then he can do it again.

But he passed out.

After passing for a long time he woke up. He started again and again and again! He forgot the time and what was happening outside. If he knew then he would be stupefied.

Reality: Outside in the Sea State of nothingness.

A man with a bloody gown walked through.

Deep green eyes and bright green hair.

Everytime he passes he would kill without knowing his face, name, etc.

For every city he runs, completely, it turned silent. The only thing you can hear are the wails and screams of the pitiful creatures.

"Ugh.. don't kill me please, I still have two kids and my wife is pregnant."

"kyahh''

"arghh"

Tens of thousands died from this devil. No remorse and no mercy.

The plague is now happening. In front of their eyes is a devil. The devil with deep green eyes that flashed and flickered with his after images.

Bloody Killing!

Some of them passed out, burned alive, tortured by the whirlwinds, suffocated by the strides of water, and disappeared to nothing.

They were killed without mercy.

This devil is out of this world!

He is a devil with no limits. The only thing that can stop this devil are those damned Existence!

The Existence! The realm of possibility!

What if you have talent? What if! But in front of this devil, YOU WILL DIE!

If you have no way escape then accept your fate to Death! Die! This devil is out of control! Your fate isn't controlled by someone, you control you fate; your decision, choice and everything. But death is not an eye-seeing! To this devil you are nothing!

"Anguish and agony!"

Remember there's no simple thing from this world, only by challenging difficult things to be made it easy.

In the Sea State of Nothingness.

It was only 1 meter before he can reach out the stone. But a sudden unexplainable thing happened.

The stone disappeared!

"My child, you are not strong enough to hold that power. The power of that stone will devoid you from being a human or else you will turn into a devil. For now, I will give you a chance. Think twice! This is your chance to control your life and change your very existence!" A glamorous yet serene voice sounded. It doesn't have a form nor shape.

"Who! Where are you!" He shouted but that voice didn't call again.

"The stone, yes the stone. It was gone!"

His only hope was gone.

Then suddenly the Sea State of Nothingness collapsed or so shattered. He freed his eyes to see but he could only see a blurry images.

Black fogs and coloured rays are enveloping him. He closed his eyes again and feels his body.

'So this is my body. What a powerful aura. If I battled with an Existence then maybe I can block their attack 4 times but fleeing isn't an option. I know they were only a legend but feeling my body this powerful I can felt it!'

"With this power I can take what's mine! My revenge!" He cried out. He didn't even remember the sacrifice of Purple. Like it was nothing to him?

He touched his chest and slowly freed his eyes.

Then a sudden realization dawned upon him.

'This… this… what happened?'

Gner sees a beautiful landscape with colourful hues and the silhouette of a river and hell. His eyelid dilated when he saw what landscape had formed.

All of the calamities are present! Storm, glacials, erupting volcanoes, poisons, etc.

Everything is in havoc! Everything was ruined!

Those which appears like deserts turned into an ice field and many things that changed!

He strongly approved his power but seeing this mess turned into this state he cant think of something.

"I….." His body shakes. He falls unto his knees.

He couldn't cry, or even say what?

Sorry for what? He made this mess!

"My...."

His 25th years of life turned out like this.

He didn't even make more friends. He stayed out from them because he pursued his revenge! A life without friends! But he got a friends called fighting, killing and assassinating.

"I'm sorry! Ah...ha..ha...sob..sob" He cried.

Now, this thing happened, how come? he? Sorry?

For what…for what is the reason he would beg for forgiveness? He killed without mercy!

Only by experiencing life and death and so these unexpected things would feel like you were only a human. A human that breaths and a beating heart.

'Did I even think about the others? Purple? And everyone who cared about me? It's just me who is ignorant to the world, but what can I do? It is my will to take life, to take revenge for my parent's death. That was the only thing I want to accomplish in this life, but this… Am I pitied by the heavens to experience this all? Is my existence that vain?'

Then he shouted, "Answer me!Answer me!! What do I mean to you?? What existence I am?? Why do I lived for? Why did I live? Why do I… sob. sob." He shouted like his gut would break.

He sniffed and cried.

This is the 2nd time he felt that the world is unreasonable. "What is my existence, the reason of my existence! If I haven't I will make 3 or two, even thousands!"

'My child...' That glamorous and serene voice echoed in his mind.

'Is my existence has something to do with you?' He called out in his mind replying to that voice which seems to be everywhere.

'You do not have the sufficient power to know yet. To seek the truth and the answer, my child. For now grow stronger. The only thing you need to be is to become stronger. Follow what was your dream, youuur dreaaammm. My ch..i…i…ldddd….' The glamorous and serene voice faded.

Then he saw a golden light. Its coming on his way.

His mind became blurry and died out.

He vanished.

In the world where nothing is to be found.

A memory of his flashed in front of him. He could see his actions, his body. In that memories, he can see a person veiled in black, the slaughterer!

He's assassinating, fighting and killing. What a life seems so boring.

His memories were skipped out. He only closed his eyes and thought about what life did he choose.

'I think this is my fate? To die and go back to nothingness.'

He doesn't know what is the meaning of life. He only accepted it all, that this time he will die without reason to live again.

'This must be the feeling to die. The greater your sin the greater the pain.'

"In the next life, if I had given a chance to live again I would like to pass him my vendetta. Be stronger than you past self or be the strongest so you can protect your everything…"
