Gab decided to heal some of his injuries first and gain some strength before he starts to inspect more of that mysterious water in the pond and know what it can do.
Gab started to touch his body to locate dislocated and broken bones and apply first aid to them so that when he gets out from underground, he can make sure that they can still be fixed in a hospital.
Gab used elongated stones and his clothes to act as a support for his broken bones and slowly but surely fixed those dislocated ones.
The process took him almost ten hours as he was totally exhausted but needed to tend to his injuries immediately after the fight of life and death.
Ten hours was too long for him and also the hours he needed to apply first aid was only used at that job and he didn't even have time to eat anything, thus he was so hungry at the moment. Without having anything to eat and the strength to hunt for food, Gab decided that he should just sleep so that he cannot feel his hunger and also to gain strength to hunt for food when he wakes up.
....
While Gab was in peace inside his dream something different is happening in a galaxy so far away from him.
An old man with a white robe and a long white hair was seating on a luxurious wooden chair inside a room in a villa on an unknown island within a planet with his eyes closed. The old man also has a long white beard but when you look closer at his face you cannot find any trace of wrinkles on it. It seems that it was a middle-aged man used some artificial hair to cover his face and to disguised as an old man.
This man was silently sitting when suddenly his hands holding the armchair shook slightly and with it he opened his eyes that was closed awhile ago with shock on it.
"Is it possible? How long has it been when something like this appeared? The powerhouses holding this plane will surely be in an uproar when they will know that something like this appear again since the time someone with this kind of power appeared 1000 years ago." The old man muttered as if he was talking to someone but there was no one inside the room where he was at.
Although someone cannot find another person in the room the old man knew that there is only one person who can appear beside him without anyone noticing it.
A man covered in a black fitting attire all over his body and a black mask covering the upper half of his face appeared beside the old man without even making a single noise.
" What did you see this time Sight? It seems that it is something that is unimaginable for you to have that kind of reaction" The man in black inquired with a serious face.
"Shadow, do you remember the time 1000 years ago when we discovered the Gene Runes with Jack?" Sight asked.
" Yes it was that time when Jack discovered through one of our adventures in an unknown ruin a cube that we cannot move no matter what we do. At that time Jack have a cut on his finger when he was picking scraps from that ruin to study, and by the time he touched the cube it shined and went through his body. When we asked him what it was, he said that it was knowledge and by the time we don't know when, he just released something that the whole universe become crazy over with. Genecoding!" Shadow narrated.
"Yes, with the knowledge he gained and the new way of gaining strength through our genes, our universe started to have powerful beings that govern us and they are the Powerhouse. Jack helped them to gain power for us to have the ability to protect our universe from other similar planes and beings from higher planes. The beings of our universe started to have peace because of the Powerhouse's protection, Jack was delighted with this and thought that his plan was perfect. The only thing that he forgot to include in his plan was greed. The Powerhouse started to see the power in the strength that they have and what control can they do with it. They began to think that if they can control Jack they can also have unlimited power." Sight looked outside the window while reminiscing the past.
" What they didn't know was that Jack has a way to negate their control on him and his genes because his Gene Rune rank was higher than them and by the time they knew the reason, Jack already escaped in the higher planes. This is also the reason why they think that Ancient Rank was not yet the end of Genes that there is a higher rank than it." Black continued.
" The Origin Runes. What Jack got from that ruin was an Origin Rune and also the reason why all of us know how to code our genes. What they don't know is that Origin Runes have two types. The Major and the Minor. Jack being the Major and the two of us the Minor which he created and passed to us" Sight sighed when he finished telling about runes.
" Sight what does this story about our past and Jack have to do with your reaction earlier? I cannot understand." Shadow questioned.
" Because another Major Origin Rune holder appeared" Sight released the news that even Shadow cannot retain his composure.
"This! Is it even possible?! The chances of finding that kind of Rune in our universe is close to zero. We don't even know what great civilization created those things." Shadow almost shouted in front of Sight's face.
" I understand you, but I cannot deny it's existence as I saw something resembling the appearance of that cube we saw thousand years ago in my Foresight. What we should be prepared for is what does it entails to our universe." Sight reminded.
" You're right, the last time it appeared there was a great change happened. Now that it appeared again what will it cause to every life here in our universe." Shadow started to compose himself and became calm as he answered.
