In the Manor of the luxury Bertus clan.
There sat an elderly man in the main hall with some other clansman chatting and drinking wine relaxed.
„Haha this year our Bertus clan made a huge profit, it will not take long till we will be declared as an intermediate clan." said one white haired elderly man in purple robes with golden accents.
„Yes, yes you are right big brother Edison! It sucks that we need to hide our real power so that nobody would come and investigate."
The bertus clan was in reality a middle-sized clan but they could not reveal that they swallowed many other clans with the help of the prison.
They could make excuses because nobody found the missing experts and no evidence could be found.
(Clan sizes will be listed later together with the power levels)
Suddenly.
„Patriarch! It is an emergency. I am sorry for interrupting you so suddenly, but the prison is changing!" shouted a voice from the entrance of the hall.
„What?!" Edison lost his wine cup. „Quickly tell me the details!"
The Two guards from before finally arrived in the main hall and retold the events.
„For little Gordon to allow that little brass to know the clan's secrets means he is serious this time. He told me about many girls but that Lina of the Kyro clan to move his heard is really rare." muttered sighed Edison in confusion.
„Big brother what are you saying! The Prison! Now!"Cried the other elderly man out in surprise.
„You are right Elliot! Gather the troops we are going to the prison.
The clan's manor grew frantic while outside troops of hundreds busily gathered.

Inside the Prison.
There were 4 guards and the captain standing slack jawed inside the desolate area behind blurred curtain.
One could not see what was going on from the outside, but every Captain was at least once inside the prison area, but the sky was nothing like before.
The whole area was covered in black clouds while the former glad ground was littered in debris and trembling like in a apocalypse.
Where once was the second blurred line at 50-meter mark was nothing at all.
Suddenly…
The sky in the centre cleared and showed a dull night sky that was clear as the galaxy itself.
„What is going on? I hope this is a heavenly opportunity and not disaster…" muttered one guard under his breath.
Experts of the world sacrificed their life everyday to every time and only the weakest one or those who had a family chose to stay behind.
There was one star in the middle of the starsea that shone as the brightest, with an azure colour.
„What is that feeling? It feels like someone looks directly inside my soul and knows every hidden secret… I got the feeling in need to prostrate here and now, it is so uncomfortable. Like the heavenly emperor or the devil itself is looking down." thought the captain.
The brightness increased and suddenly a hoarse voice could be heard.
„Haha it is good that you guys are here to sacrifice yourself to my liege. Don't be impatient and wait there he is about to come into existence…"
All hairs of the 5 intruders stood straight, nobody dared to move.
It was not like they could do it even if they tried with all their might.
Slowly all of them were filled with terror. What did they do? How can they flee?
„The hundreds of souls you brought over at the last thousand years were really useful, thanks!"
And with that…
An azure beam descended from the heavens directly to the centre of the platform and brought an awe-inspiring aura with it.
All their legs grew sluggish, and they slowly transformed into a puddle.
Not just them.
Earth started to fold, the air seemed to swallow itself and the sky dissipated.The whole area that had a diameter of 3 kilometres turned into nothingness.
—
Outside of the former prison.
The 8 Guards, the young master and Lina were kneeling with terror struck eyes.
„How can that be?! I did not feel anything and now everything is gone… Our fortune, the prison just disappeared. Madness!" Shouted Gordon unwillingly and began to shake.
He gathered his thoughts and hoped for his father's arrival.
Lina looked awestruck.
All these things were too much to take in. First, she was chased by gordon, then she found out of the prison and now everything vanished? Who would believe her this story?
„Hm? What is that? There is something moving around on the ground." shouted someone.
—
In the big hole where the former „prison" stood was a little crater.
It was just enough to fit in a human adult.
There it was.
A little humanoid body laid inside the pit that was about 1,50 meters high, with rather long black hairs, a comparably handsome face that had sharp eyebrows, deep grey eyes and a pointy chin.
After a little while those sharp eyes gained its focus back and moved into every direction in confusion.
"What is going on? This sensation… so familiar. Ah! It feels like I've lived before. I mean before I was that whatever it was." Muttered the former wisp to itself.
It had no real thought process and couldn't remember anything before, but now? Everything came back because the needed capability was met.
"So strange… I feel so powerful. I don't know how I couldn't miss that feeling it's so refreshing. Haaa…" it adjusted its body and took some deep breathes in and out.
Suddenly…
"Raaa, krkr dear ancestor you really made it!" sounded a creaking voice behind him.
"Huh? Is my mind messing with me?" thought the little boy and turned around. "What do you want bird?"
"What bird? Hmpf! I won't shrink back even if you're the ancestor." Creaked it again.
"Oh, you're that old man, why are you a bird? Is that some strange behaviour of yours?"
"No, I already departed from this realm and bound my remains on you for further guidance. There are some things I don't know in this form but at least I can give you some advice" chuckled the bird. "Wait! What bird?! I am the almighty moon owl in this form."
"Ok got it, what's the plan now little birdie?"
"You- ah, never mind I don't care anyway. I'll not tell you much, only the general knowledge and some advices here and there. You should make yourself a name in this world and decide your path. This world is called Akazap and is one of the lower realms. Even my esteemed self doesn't know how many worlds there are but the stronger you are, the more control you get. The lower realms will at some point reject stronger beings but it's not like experts would look for lower worlds."
"Wait, why should I gain power? Doesn't that mean I need to fight against others? Can I not just live a leisurely life? It feels SO good to be alive." said the little boy disregarding the whole world issue.
"...Yes, you can try that if you want but in this dog eat dog world the weak people will never gain peace. What you first need to do is get out of there and look for some clothes. I didn't think about that before. While you are at that you can look at your surroundings."
"I seem to forget something… he told me something before, but I don't remember it clearly. Guess I'll ask later." Thought the youngster while climbing out of the pit and deciding onto a random direction.
"Ancestor, you need to decide on a name for yourself, I'll go to sleep for a bit."
"Next time just call me young master I am not that old yet. Wait, what do you mean sleep?
"If you would know how old you are you would probably drop dead haha. It seems that his young body influences his mind deeply." Thought the owl man.
"Enough of that I'll tell you later. Till then."
