Chapter 1 - First Beginning

17 years, a soul drifted among a dark void without intelligent life, light warped around a small singularity that was his manifested consciousness...

A deep silence reverberated for many years, a light grew silently once more until it covered the black singularity that was a misled soul. It disappeared from existence...

...

Among the tall, red-leaved trees of a spectacular forest, a white singularity floated down from a black droplet of a mysterious constitution, falling off a singular leaf of resonant beauty and symmetry, of a tree 100 feet high.

The singular white light joined the mystifying sea of other white light.

A very large, mystical, and mysterious forest. This scenery seemed unusually dangerous.

As a boy was pondering his situation, suddenly...

[ | Welcome to your System | ] ~~

~[ | Please name your System... | ]

"What..." The boy says in slight shock as this appears in his conscience simply as if it were casual. This greatly confuses him, but he regains composure.

After thinking for a while, he found a name in his mind which stuck mostly to his naming sense, which was unfortunately non-existent.

"Stellar." says the boy

[| System name is now Stellar. |]

[| Please calibrate your preferences. |]

[| What system voice would you like to have? |]

"Calm and intelligent..."

[| System voice calibrated... |]

Suddenly, the robotic voice suddenly became an annoyingly arrogant one in his head.

Then...

[| The system needs to be graded, to identify your ability to comprehend its functions. The grades are called comprehension and are measured by /100 in each level. |]

[| Of course, beyond level 1 ( Human ) is comprehension level 2 ( High-average ) then level 3 ( Superior ) then level 4 ( Gifted ) then level 5 ( Top-life ) the level 6 ( Blessed ), level 7 ( Sagacity ), level 8 ( Beyond ), level 9 ( Esoteric ), level 10... ( Delphic ), level 11 . . . . ( Erkca ) > |]

[| Measuring comprehension:... |]

He watches as a little box that was floating in front of him containing a number that was increasing very quickly.

[| Erckaic comprehension identified... system capabilities identified. |]

"So not only is there a comprehension test for the system, but I got the best one?" said the boy.

He could only be curious as to what features this system could provide.

[| Well, now that everything is set up, I will now try to explain... |]

[| You, are Silas Nauseus, and you were recently put into the world of 'Terram', or 'Terram Aurora', the lowest terrain in the lower heavens, spanning thousands of miles across a flat plane, among approximately 8 billion beings. The place you are in is the lowest of the lowest heavens, and each heaven is a dimension or place of sorts in a multi-universal all-inclusive called 'Aurouris', which is multi-universally named. Each heaven higher than another has more resources for the obtainment of power, and each heaven more difficult to enter than the last, but in exchange for the difficulty, each heaven has a more profound extremity of [Erkcanum], or [Erkca] and [Erkca] is the makeup of existence and the thing that brings every being supra-normal powers. There is a multitude of different types of [Erkcani], for example, [Ground Erkcani] is an extremely common and weak [Erkcanum Type], and the more rare the [Erkca Type] the more abilities and power you have, and every heaven has a higher extremity of rare [Erkca] in their cellular makeup. Making them more sought after. Erkca and its many types can each defy the laws of physics, Erkca in its every state being the first law of thermodynamics, which is that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Many other things in this multi-verse also affect these laws.

The world of 'Terram Aurora' is extremely expansive with different cultures, land, knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, morals, and customs, with countless societies and places to go to. The world is most economical and competitive for power and resources. It is so competitive that those with power have complete authority and riches, leading a very pleasurable lifestyle, and those who are weak, who are born with no affinities and a weak soul can only opt for pleasantry and slavery, possibly even merchantry depending on the skill of the person in question. The world is run by multiple factions, empires, and kingdoms that govern over specific districts of the world. Such as the Jade Empire, which governs the district 'Glass Isles', hence its arrogant name. They are an important figure for the economics of Terram as they provide essential resources for affinities and have a higher Ercka density than most districts, some districts have more advantages than others, but most districts balance their rule with power, hence the stability and peace of most districts.

-

Each being in 'Aurouris' has a [Soul], and every being has a soul no matter how weak, every [Soul] is a black hole that consumes any type of Erkca in exchange for abilities, and the collection of [Erkca] is whats' called the absorption process, where one must follow a multitude of steps to conceive their first [Crystalline] which is a semi-singularity of sorts that absorbs more and more [Erkca] the more the complex, bright, and large it is. But the concept that narrates the amount of [Erkca] one has in the beginning steps is its appearance as a mist of sorts when you first condense it to make your first [Crystalline]. But after condensing the [Crystalline] the mist then quickly needs to be condensed into your first [Annulumn Ring] which is the storage of sorts for that specific type of [Erkca] that halos' the [Crystalline]. There is an unknown amount of [Annulumn Ring]'s you can have, each having its own purity.

[Purity Rating: The purity of an Annulumn is represented by its brightness, and the higher the purity, the more powerful the rings' ability to store their respective [Erkcani Type]. When the ring runs out of storage for the respective [Erkca], the [Erkca] takes the form of a mist and revolves around the ring, slowly dispersing over time. Purity does not just affect the ability to increase capacity but also increases the affinity with each [Erkcani Type].

[Erkcani Type], also known as 'Aura Natura', 'Aura', or 'Essense' is the basic origin of all things, some 'Aura' are more powerful, complex, and noble than others, all [Aura] have their own traits that all require in order to either cultivate the [Aura] or gain its affinity, which is much harder. They are not physical but can be manifested when it is drawn, through a multitude of different ways, some places have a basic foundation of a specific type of [Aura] in its area, especially when the place is extremely exotic, ancient and complex, but it is not found commonly in an alleyway of any sort.]

The affinity you have resembles affection from the type of [Erkca], and with this affection comes blessings from that type of [Erkca], and those who are born with higher natural affinities are naturally much more, charming, intelligent, and fearless. Each type has a mind of its own and is attracted to the being that resembles its qualities or has its own [Genesis Seed]. The few ways to purify an [Annulumn Ring] include having a treasure that increases affinity either permanently by consumption or temporarily through a treasure, but there is not really any other way other than being born or gaining the affinity further in your lifetime. As affinity scales with aging and maturity.

Affinity is an extremely important factor in your prosperity to authority and reverence, and with more and more affinities to different [Erkcani Types], the more unique, and complex one becomes.]

In [Erkcani Types], there are branches of physiques of their respective types, the lower/more common/elementary of the specific [Type Physique]s are of the [Lesser Physi], whilst the higher physique, closer to the original physi of the specific scale-physique, are more powerful and effective, and as the affinity over a certain lower physique reaches a certain level, the higher physique will become more and more attracted to your presence. Causing the scaling of higher physiques. Higher physiques have complete authority over their lesser family. ]

Currently although, you are in the beginning of lower heaven where every being has started out before climbing to higher heaven, and you are situated closer to the middle of a large forest in the Heavenly Kingdom called 'Starforest Aurelia', which is the main garden of the estate of the royals of the kingdom. |]

"..." Silas pondered for a moment, he really needed this huge info dump considering he just woke up, without any memories, in the middle of a forest.

Silas knitted his eyebrows at everything Stellar just said, he is in the garden of a royal right now?

He decided to ask what Stellar could do for him so far.

"What can you do?"
