Archen slowly opens his eyes to see a fascinating world, full of weird creatures.,"What is this place? Where am I?" Archen thought one moment he fell down a canal the next moment he's here, Confused, he starts to wander around the weird but huge gorgeous city, While he walked, he saw some mysterious people carrying strange artifacts. Some of them looked like orbs, some of them looked like swords, and some of them were indescribable by his human language.
Archen saw luxurious buildings that looked like some sort of mansions, but that were painted with a color he had never seen before.
He saw some heavenly-looking creatures constantly entering and leaving the buildings, He kept roaming until he stopped in a tremendous lake. Its water looked like ruby, and its water reflected the marvelous place like a mirror. He stopped for 10 minutes to contemplate its beautifulness.
"This place is awesome!" Archen said he didnt know why he was here but he likes it, He kept walking fascinated by this world, exploring it. Unconsciously, he entered a 'not so beautiful' town while looking for more beautiful places to explore. He perceived a bad presentiment from it,
Archen didn't look at anyone, he was a little bit scared, While trying to leave this village, he accidentally reached a creepy alley, where horrifying creatures resided.
"Ah shit stumbled too far off I gotta leave if I don't wanna run into anything nasty..." Murmured Archen, When he tried to go back to the entrance, he couldn't find it. "What?! Where is it? Did it disappear?! Archen frantically thought" I gotta leave right now" He preserved his sanity while walking through the alley until a monstrous creature started approaching him.
It looked like a big old man fused with a bear.
.
Archen turned frightened and faced the monsterous beast in front of him"Are you lost, little boy? This isn't a place for kids like you, you know?"
Archen fell back frightened and shouted "W-What the Fuck! What are you!
"Glad you asked I'm the robber and I won't leave you alone until you give to me all the stuff you have, little boy." Said the old-looking creature acting likes it's stating the obvious with a dominant voice.
"Shit, I gotta leave this place right now " thought Archen. He started running as fast as he could in the opposite way the old man was, but it wasn't enough, The man rapidly caught him, and it smashed Archen into a wall.
"Ugh-!" Groaned Archen the pain from the canal had only healed a bit combined with this slam it cause extra damage "I told you to give me all you got!" Yelled the creature stomping on Archens leg "This isn't a game, kid. If you don't give me what I want right now I will have to-" Before the man could even finish his sentence, Archen tried to punch it in his chest. Obviously, it didn't work even though Archens leg felt broken he needed to get away
"Did you really think that a kid like you could even hurt me? I mean what did you expect to happen" - The man asked like he was stating the obvious
Archen couldn't move, he was totally shocked, Suddenly, the old man stopped laughing, and said - "Since you've been such a nuisance I'll just kill you and take your stuff myself!" It tried to punch Archen, who was still on the floor But, unexpectedly, when the creature was going to end Archen's life, a mysterious girl showed up for. The shadows of the alley.
With a single look, she shocked the man. "W-what?! What's happening! I-I can't move!" The mysterious girl whispered something while pointing her finger at it. "𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥- 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜", "Hey, you! Who the hell are you?! Are you the one doing this to me?!" Yelled the man angrily
After he said that, she pointed her finger at the man and he turned to dust
Archen hurried backwards frightened waving his hand infront of him "WAIT WAIT HEHE I'M NOT A THREAT" He nervously laughed, The girl looked at him a second then her eyes widened as she placed her fingers down she then walked up to Archen who's eyes were widening closed them, Archen expected something and was right the girl kicked him In the rib Archen gasped in pain "Fucking rib shot THE THIRD TIME"Archen shouted as the girl snickled a bit but then got serious again " How are you able exist here?" The girl asked, Archen didn't know how to respond so he just said "because of g-good genes I guess? " he said still a bit frightened, The girl stared down his soul and explained " You come from the 5th realm you shouldn't be able to exist here as your body is designed for your realm only and the fact you have no capabilities of traveling here so how? " she asked again, Archen in fact didn't know how so he just explained what occured "I fell down a canal and boom I'm here" He explained to her.
She continued to eye him up but then just sighed "Well I can't let you stay here alone I mean your the first human in the realm of heaven you'd be a prime target", Archen understood what she meant as a reference to the previous event that just occured but had one question left " since you saved my life and I feel I can trust you I got a question " Archen told her, The girl looked at him and nodded letting him proceed, Archen took a deep breath In and asked "what was that thing you did with the fingers and the dust?".
The girl looked almost flabbergasted as she forgot to explain things to him " What I used was a heavenly skill 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 one of the many magical powers capable here" she explained, Archen was confused and asked "magic powers? How does that work? " She sighed and said "Well before I explain to you how about we introduce ourselves to each other ", Archen Nodded " Well nice to meet you my name Archen the boy you just rescued what's yours" he asked the girl "The names shirone" she said winking, "Now that we got introductions done let me explain, In this world there are 4 Realms representing their respective theme Heavenly,Demonic,Nature,Cosmic each types of magic are split into 4 categories Basic,Advanced,Expert,Godlike what I used was a expert skill temporary existence erasure also known as 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐄𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 Archens heart started to beat faster and he took a deep breath as Shirone continued "Each magic have weaknesses And strengths Heavenly is strong against demonic, Demonic is strong again nature, Nature is strong against cosmic and cosmic is strong against Heavenly of course if it's a full on free for all Cosmic would win but that's going off topic now" She took a deep breath in and continued "Each magical element comes from the core of magic the origin of all" she explained "and that's all nothing else to explain" Shirone finished off.
Archen took the information in and was a bit overwhelmed just not too long ago he was in his world going back from school now he's in heaven literal Heaven he tried to take this all in but it was hard "Alright I think I can manage all this" he said taking deep breaths again, Shirone smiled and dragged him along to elsewhere
