Vodovorot, A Higher Dimension where Perpetual Maelstroms rage, Time and space is chaotic - Where Reality is split apart into countless fragments and remeshed continuously. It is a place where order does not exist - Only Chaos- Pure Chaos that does not care about Good or Evil.
A Place where most New Gods fear to Even set their gazes on.
At an isle in the middle of the Perpetual Endless storms, A Distorted Castle would come into view with Symbols of Yog-Sothoth, the Outer God of Space and Time carved into every stone on the castle. From time to time - The castle would whisper faint voices that could drive anyone to madness, like a droning sound.
Within the Dark halls of the castle a faint broken clicking sound could be heard.
In a dark throne made of broken antique clocks surrounded by distorting time and space. Objects would move and move back, space would be chaotic - 3-dimensional gear would turn into 2 Dimensional, back and forth.
In the mist of this chaos, a tall, gaunt man wearing a dark hood, with his face covered by a dull silver metallic mask - with broken circular dials tinted with darker colors for eyeholes and a metal gas mask where the mouth hole should be.
His whole body was covered with patched up dull steel armor. If one could see a bit more clearly the threadings on the armor seemed to be wriggling and writhing.
An odd sight was a small pendant of an Aces of Spades card that hung around his neck.
The man sat on the strange throne uncaring about the distortions that happened around him.
Black Tentacles would come out of the broken holes in the armor as the man watched a projection of Aavesh enjoying with his family.
The small wooden clock in his hand was crushed when he saw Aavesh smile and enjoy.
He then punched the glass screen which had the projection to pieces.
He then took deep breaths and stared at the remnant pieces but one could not make any sense of emotion on his face, hidden behind the mask.
Not a voice came out from him. But Darkness oozed around him chewing pieces of order around him.
He then held his pendant out and stared at it almost longingly.
A hoarse static voice came out of his mask.
"Soon..."
The voice echoed out as it left the distorted castles as a remnant of something that should not exist at all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elsewhere in the Material Plane, On Sarkon, Near Blade Cliff, Aavesh and his family along with the grandmasters had taken an AV to arrive at the place. According to Aavesh, he would have to stay here for the next three months atleast. Antrix would stay back with him to accompany the brat while the others would leave after the Seeing the Effects of the Rune.
The Masters from DLCL would also come the Next Day, even if they were trustworthy they could not know abouth Aavesh's Runes and Situation. They would say that Antrix had taken him out for treatment in the SS-V Veritas Spaceship - a perfect excuse, considering that almost everyone knew about the child who was possessed by a demon and later saved by Irolin.
Besides about the Mystery of how Aavesh was able to perfectly inscribe the runes - Rayna and Kriti deduced that the memory was sealed be several powerful restrictions that let Aavesh act it out but not absorb the knowledge present.
It was a more of one time use Memory - seeing that special being must have long thought about this and planned everything thoroughly, atleast that being did not let Aavesh completely suffer due to its schemes, but at the same time it would not just let him easily absorb the special knowledge.
Knowledge was always king. Not everyone could get it. Not everyone was worthy.
Luckily, they were able to decipher the runes with some difficulty and could inscribe it on Aavesh's skin.
The Runes however had their own catch which they discovered during deciphering it- the runes would not erase immediately after being fully inscribed.
They would stick to the skin until, the whole recovery process was complete. They should finally dissolve within Aavesh and that would signify its full use and completion.
The User would possibly face continuous discomfort before the Runes dissolved but Antrix was adamant to do it anyway. It was his one chance that could possibly help him recover atleast his lifespan.
They could roughly understand its processes and described it as ingenious - They however had yet to fully understand the full functionality of each rune- it was like solving a complex equation of integration and differentiation at a whole new level in mathematics.
The whole group immediately moved to the spot which Antrix had paid to temporarily rent the place surrounding blade cliff for 4 Months with his connections. He wanted to ensure every chance for his child.
They quickly built a temporary residence pod with emergency communication- Sarkon may be a low tier planet - but it had its own wild life that had their own system in cultivating. Generally there was a form of understanding between both sides to ignore each other - After all the wild life was crucial to Sarkon's Ecosystem.
But there would always be some beserk cases where the other party had the full right to defend themselves. It was always better to be safe.
After everything was set up, Aavesh removed most of his garments, except his under wear and sat down on the Rune Table to begin the process. Rayna and Kriti opened up the image of the parchment containing the Runes and started to engrave the runes on to Aavesh's Body.
Each engraving was slow and measured. They would take their time doing this and not rush to make any mistake - Each time a rune would be complete - it would embed onto his skin and cause slight irritation to Aavesh.
But he bared it all - He had suffered far worse than this - he may have never really learnt how to fully control his emotions but he knew how to deal with pain. A few hours later they had completed it - though it was a very special case and the runes wear probably meant to last long enough - Both Kriti and Rayna had reaped a lot of gains from this.
After all inscribing runes was far better than simply trying to decipher it. But their concern was for Aavesh - After they finished linking the final runes, A slight Luminance shot out from Aavesh's body, the runes glowed together and Aavesh let out a low squeal from his mouth. He now was fully covered in Runes and looked like a small tattoed boy.
Without talking to anyone else, Aavesh got up and immediately sat on the Cliff Edge in the Lotus Position as instructed by Eon and let the final rays of sunlight before sunset hit his body. The solar power seemed to slowly concentrating on Aavesh and were being collected by Runes which transformed it into extremely small wisps of light specks which flowed into Aavesh's body.
The Light specks then dissolved into countless tiny threads that snaked into every corner of the Body and further split into more countless threads. These threads went to each individual cell and flowed into the nucleus where the DNA remained.
The threads slowly fused into the missing strand of the Telomeres, very slightly increasing its length. All the while Aavesh felt like thousands of worms were assaulting his body. But he continued to endure. This pain was nothing - nothing at all compared to what he endured before.
He could do it and would do it No MATTER WHAT.
The Sun went down and the Moon came up but this did not stop Aavesh who had closed his eyes and kept staying in the meditative poster. The Runes reacted a bit differently during night time and Actively absorbed spirit energy emanating from the trees along with Moon Light.
As Eon said before, for some reason around Aavesh, the spirit energy was a bit denser and purer - like the will of the planet wanted to thank him and help him out.
The combined effects of the Spirit Energy and Moonlight seeping through his body under the control of the runes, in the same process as before with the sunlight - instead now different aspects of his genes were being improved very slowly.
If Aavesh went for a Genetic Test - His talent would be F - the most ordinary grade and the one grade that absolutely had no talent to absorb Universal Energy. But now it was slowly improving as well.
After reaching Midnight, Aavesh opened his eyes and stopped practicing and went back to pod where he found his father also cultivating his own Techniques. Antrix sensed Aavesh approach and brought a full bucket of cooked food.
Aavesh did not waste time and munched down the High energy food and quickly had water before going back to the spot and continued to meditate. He knew the others had long left to go back home and greet the DLCL Master who would come tomorrow for Teaching Leo.
However he could only focus on the matters in his hand for now. He needed to keep doing this until he meets the target set by Eon.
Eon monitored all the changes and displayed a mini Percentage bar showing 0.6% on to Aavesh's mind. Aavesh was actually quite lucky to have had Axiomatic Relic master Of Machina to open his mind vision and Astral senses.
Luckily he still retained them, or the problem would have been very big.
