VOTE: I need y'all to let me now right NOW…
Should I post daily chapters of 2,000 - 2,500 words, like other Authors do.
OR
Should I post long chapters every other day, or a mix between them both?! Because I have been writing and writing chapters, but editing the long chapter's take so much time, which in turn, delay my postings!
So, what do y'all think? Let me know!
Anyways, enjoy, we are finally getting to the actual plot!!!
- SpacialDevil, The Author

Yet, it appeared almost as a heavenly judgment.
Final, Complete, & Absolute.
Yet this was no heavenly or celestial judgment at all, this was pure, untapped, and untrained, Spacial Destruction.
The sky itself, was appearing to barley be able to withstand and contain its natural nature, from this devastating attack. Almost as it was begging for this monstrosity of a spell to be released, to stop the strain it had to resist against it, and well….
The sky's wish was quickly met….
- - -
While the sky's wish might've been met, the land could only groan and grimace in anticipation. As it received the full result, of the descending, and devastating attack.
Showdo's attack from earlier, which caused a great deal of destruction to the land.
Now looked like, child's play.
Unlike when Showdo's attack hit the land, producing an instant sound of an increasing volume, Vector's was silent, the whole way…
Until, the Spacial Destruction Mana, ran out, and could not drill any further through the depths of the world. However, as a byproduct, this only increased the pressure, and as such, the blowback was absolutely horrific.
A sound which could not even be described took place, as what happened in a matter of seconds, would produce a terrifying effect, for what would come to be, thousands of years.
The craters which were formed throughout the earlier fights, like Showdo's attack, again… now, looked like child's play.
As the crater from Vector's attack, was now miles deep, quite literally forming a valley, which stretched throughout the land, causing an even greater distance of divide, between the two lands.
However, what followed next, was even more unprecedented.
The valley which was now being established, as the impact caused it, was only the result of the gravity coating along the attack…
And so, the Spacial Eradication caused an effect, which was even more extreme. As it drove on towards the depths of the world, as it was stopped by a resistance, not too far away from the bottom of the now created valley.
It was a natural Mana Geyser, a hot springs of sorts, while various Mana gems were embedded in the walls. Yet, all would be destroyed, as this only added fuel to the fire.
Which caused the blowback, to now, be even worse.
And worse was an understatement…
- - -
A blinding light could be seen by all, for hundreds of miles, as even the people in the Zenith Kingdom could see it. This event appearing as a beacon of shining blue light, which then, suddenly vanished, yet what came next…
Was an earthquake which would spread through the whole continent, along various islands located near, as the world itself rattled and shook.
As the land grumbled, moving the plates of this world, grinding them against each other, causing an earthquake which had not been felt for years. It was almost as the world's land itself, screamed in pain….
- - -
However, to the one's closest to this attack.
They could see the final events, as the pillar of light vanished, and a loud noise rang in each person's ears, one which couldn't be described. As it was not loud booming sound, nor one of an type of explosion.
It could only be described as an unbearable noise, one which people couldn't help but cringe too, but in this case, each person, dropped to the ground, while they covered both their ears, while briefly screaming.
As blood tricked down from their eyes and ears.
Until, it abruptly stopped.
And so, as the noise was now gone, alongside the pillar of light, which was now specs of floating Mana, which appeared almost as snowflakes. Even as the people were in pain, still recovering after that horrible noise which just played.
They still couldn't help but acknowledge the beauty which came after.
Specs of light fell down, as a breeze picked up, making the flakes of Mana move in an irregular way, as they now circled the group, startling the kids, causing them to giggle in joy.
Even Khione, as she woke up due to the events which just played out. Her worries now suppressed for the moment, as she witnessed the most spectacular event, she's ever seen.
Alongside, the now awoken, wide eye, and semi-healed Showdo. This was due to his Shadow assimilation ability, which helped him bind shadows to his wounds, therefore causing a significant speed of recovery.
- - -
The specs of light, started to come closer to one another, some connecting, forming huge balls of Mana, while other specs remained as little wisps of light. However, all of a sudden, they froze, causing everyone to startle. As the Mana then started to circle once again, yet in in reverse, causing an even greater breeze to pick up.
Yet it wasn't done there, the Mana started to spin faster and faster, causing leaves from the surrounding trees, to circulate through the air. Which caused more joy, as it excited the people, who were witnessing this stunning scene.
Which the people were quickly shocked once more, as an influx of Mana started to descend, trickling down, from the very edge of the sky, which many did not know, the name of what it truly was.
But we know what it was;)
Space.
A gateway, a warping of sorts, opened up above, as purplish-blue Mana, now appeared as small blobs of colored slime. Which continued to descend, until it too, started to circle with the other wisps of Mana.
This occurred for another 30 seconds give or take, before the warping closed, only for another to open right after, yet from a different location, which was slightly different, yet seemingly even more powerful.
It was located directly above, the now shining Moon, which wasn't supposed to be seen in the brightening daylight. Yet, in this moment, it seemed to be the only thing present in the sky, as a huge influx of Mana started to plunge down.
In the shapes of little wisps, as the others still circling around, until a huge raging ball of Mana, which appeared as a mini star of sorts, drove straight down, at a speed which shocked all.
As the ball of Mana got closer, all the Mana which was circling the people, started to get greedily sucked in, by this ever growing ball of light. But this light did not appear normal, nor anything one could classify, it could only be described as MoonLight.
It had a purple tint, yet held a great deal of white, alongside a pristine blue-like color.
And finally, as all the Mana started to float towards the ball, as it absorbed it all, causing the size of the ball to double, triple, and finally quadruple. As the now raging ball of Mana suddenly shot out, with what appeared as a beam of sorts, to the direction of where the attack and fight recently took place.
Which was now a great deal away. Especially as of now, with the huge valley which took place, and which was now in between the lands, as it stretched for miles.
Yet it mattered naught.
The light seemed to search, and search, until it stopped.
The people below, stared up above, with widened and curious eyes. As the beam suddenly started to move again, yet the opposite way of it just did so, as it was coming back towards the ball of Mana.
Almost as it was pulling an energy, no, an object….no, it was pulling a person.
You know. Which one.
This person, was none other, than Vector.
A blood drenched, heavily damaged, and barley on the cusp of being alive, version. Yet nonetheless, even in this state, he appeared as princely as ever. While even in his sleeping state, a smirk could be seen plastered on his face, and so, his body suddenly flew at a rapid pace.
Directed towards the floating ball of Mana.
And as Vector got closer, to the spinning and chaotic ball of Mana, he started to slow down.
For all to see, as he was now in visible range of eyesight.
- - -
Khione and Showdo seeing the state that Vector was in, were completely shocked, until they realized, they both had been out of it, as they started to connect the dots, with the final memories they recalled.
As Khione remembered what Vector called her. His daughter. As he practically went insane, as he beat the bad man, who tried to kidnap her. And so, she started to silently drop tears, which splattered against the ground, forming a small puddle.
As Showdo himself looked over at the heavily cracked land, and the newly formed valley. Which he could only infer was this man's doing, as he cursed himself for his weakness, of letting this man die….
However, most unexpectedly, the ball of light started to pulse, practically blinding the audience, with each wave. And in response, they all had cover their eyes briefly, during each pulse.
Only to open their eyes, as the pulses stopped, as everything seemed to freeze once again.
As Their thoughts ceased.
As Their mouths opened, while forming no words.
As the scene playing out… was simply too breathtaking.
- - -
The ball of light held a tractor-like beam, which pulled Vector towards the core of it, as his body was now in close proximity, as the blinding light started to pulse. Which in turn, made the people cover their eyes.
Only to open them, to see the ball of light and Vector slowly merge.
Vector the started to float even higher, to the point of being even higher than where the ball of Mana, once was. The Mana in the ball, which now coated each and every part of Vector.
Making him radiant, as he gleamed with various colors, appearing as a glowing star himself. While floating even higher, eventually stopping. As the Mana which was coating him, currently running over his body, appearing as slime-like substance, suddenly shot out.
Yet he remained floating, and in a span of less than a second, a tremendous pressure built up.
One which felt… cosmic.
Like earlier, his hair started flapping around, his aura now a pure white and black, as his injuries were all visibly becoming healed. As the blood was completely burned off. While the Mana which shot out, then reformed the ball of light behind him, as it started to trickle into his body, ever so slowly.
Combing with his now pressurized aura, effortlessly compacting it, as it seeped into his skin, blending in flawlessly. As the ball of shining light, which was an indescribable amount of Mana, started to rapidly shrink.
As the strands of Mana, were now being sucked in by Vector, at an alarming pace.
All the while, various symbols started to form behind him, causing many to look on with even more perplexed looks. And as the final strand of Mana finally connected with Vector's body, one final symbol was projected behind him.
For all to bear witness.
One of a Moon.
But, not a crescent.
It was a shining, Full Moon.
One which was bright in light.
Before it slowly transformed, liquefying into metallic-like substance, which gleamed, with a certain amount of class, almost like Royalty?
Yes.
Royalty.
The elegant metallic like substance, slowly moved like a snake in the sky, crossing the distance, in an elegant manner, as it slithered towards Vector. Upon reaching his body, it avoided each part his body, until it arrived at the top of his head.
In which it slowly wrapped around, as the snake appeared to bite its own tail, while the substance, then hardened. Forming yet again, another metallic-like look, yet one of indestructibility, power, and beauty.
It appeared as a shining silver metal, yet it held various colors alongside it. Purple, blue, green, red, and a blinding white. But not a second later, the metal started to crumble, bend, and work itself into another shape.
One of a crown.
This crown as elegant as the metal before, if not more so. As the silver band which was now wrapped around Vector's head, started to gleam with a brightening pulse, as it started to bend even more.
Finishing with a final pulse, which happened to be the most blinding of all, as the metal made a clinking sound, indicating its completion.
The result?
The crown now had a few tiny jagged spikes in the front, appearing as a mountain range of sort, while a smooth silver stone started to form from behind it.
One of a a gleaming, Full Moon.
One of immaculate luster, and what appeared, and felt like, of great power. Yet the changes did not stop there…
Vector's body started to shine once more, as the Mana he absorbed, pushed itself one last time, yet it stopped just on the surface of his skin, as it morphed his whole constitution. His body started to crumble, twisting, and curling up in a ball like position, as the Mana covered him, just as an egg would.
No more then a few seconds, until the egg exploded, as Vector re-emerged as something different, something MORE.
His skin complexion was the same as before, expect his skin now held a hint of a blue and purple tint, just as his evolved Mana. While, his body size changed slightly as well, now standing at 6'10, as his muscles and abs appeared the same.
Yet, they all held a significant increase of power. As well as his eyes, which were very much so different. As both his eyes, now held a much greater power in each.
His right eye appearing as the night sky, same as last, expect it shined brighter, having a significant more amount of stars, planets, and constellations. As well as his whole eye changing from a fully black sky. His inner sky now the same black as before, yet now, with a shade of purple.
While his left eye changed as well, his once royal purple, changed into a deeper shade, appearing as amethyst stone. Which now held a symbolic design embed into it. One which was traced in gray, appearing as a circular pupil, with a hexagon inside, as a triangle was inside of that.
However, the biggest change of all, was his aura.
As his aura before, felt like an untrained, beastly, dangerous and untapped power. Yet, now it felt like a refined, elegant, charismatic, and powerful being, which held a power inside them, that could tear reality apart.
- - -
And so as the people stared up above, gladdened at the fact their savior was alive, but most to all shocked at the power which was radiating out of him.
He looked almost as a … god.
But he wasn't there yet. No where near…
- - -
However, before they could think on his appearance much longer. Vector in his still clouded state of mind, made one last move, which shocked them all.
He slowly raised his hand, as his Mana responded, by shooting forth, as his now purple and blue tinted Mana. Slowly formed a huge rectangular box around the group of people, as they looked on, in fear and awe, as he said two words.
"Moon Stone". As his voice sounded deep, barley recognizable, fussy, distorted, but most of all, powerful.
After the two words were spoken into existence, a huge distribution of Mana occurred, which shocked all, as they suddenly found themselves seeing a blinding light, which was converging on all. Some thought it was the end, others a blessing, yet what had actually occurred, was something far more troubling, yet much more simple.
He teleported all 118 survivors, including Khione and Showdo, to a completely different location. As the people landed in shock, at the completely different landscape, until their eyes went on the figure who made this possible, as he suddenly closed his eyes, while his aura quickly diminished.
Which he then, started to fall rapidly to the ground. Almost hitting the hardened land, until a certain assassin caught him mid way, while muttering two words, which were spoken back, as a sign of respect, "Good Job".
- - -
As the survivors quickly panicked as of where they were now located at, Showdo gently laid Vector on the vibrant neon purple grass, making sure to inspect to see if any injures still remained.
After all, he was sworn to protect the young Prince.
However, while inspecting his body, seeing as no injuries remained, he hard a familiar voice. Khione came running, crying out in fear, almost barreling on top of Vector, until Showdo barley stopped her.
"Young Miss, he's fine. Completely healed, and even more so powerful. Much more.. as he just went through an evolution, one of unspeakable power, by the looks of it. Let him get his rest. No need to wake him up, he'll wake up on his own eventually."
"Though it will take him awhile, as his body needs time to adjust to his recently grown power level" said Showdo, as he calmed Khione down.
Yet that was the least of his issues, no, rather their issues. As the remaining survivors were currently squabbling amongst each other, bickering back and forth. Of where they were located, and if they were even on the FAE continent anymore.
And so, seeing no choice, as to try and diffuse the situation, Showdo commanded his now, nearly full tank of Mana to release. As his Mana shot out in the sky, forming a huge box-sized barrier of shadow, it hovered for a second, garnering the attention of all, before slamming down.
* BAM *
Now locked in place, the whole atmosphere was dark, as the people started to yell, while trying to scatter. As they could suddenly see themselves. Until little holes were punctured through the top. Letting strands of Sunlight shine down, making the people calm down.
All the while, two figures started to rising above them, as they all looked above, while recognizing the figure. And just as the people were about to speak once more, Showdo said one word, while commanding his Shadows to emit a deadly aura.
"Silence"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"You are all bickering like kids, while you have not even recognized the fact you are alive, nor the only reason that you are, is me and the man, currently lying unconscious here, all for you. However, even we did not want to fight for you, why would we? We owe you nothing."
"Yet this little girl spoke up, and was the reason you all live" spoke Showdo, as he completely shocked the crowd, as they all looked towards Khione, with various looks.
Ones of gratitude, trust, kindness, relief, and even shock. Yet, Showdo didn't stop there.
"Now listen up, your savior, in his final moments, while literally transcending, as you've all seemingly forgot. That you have witnessed one of the most beautiful sights you shall ever see… We are now located in his home region. We are in the Zenith Kingdom, located by a region, which was once under the rule of the "dud" Prince."
"There are countless villages located close by, alongside two to three small cities. We are in what they call "MoonStone", now please refrain from bickering, as we shall withdraw, and I recommend you do so too. Do not pester, ask, or bother us, as we are the only reason, you are all breathing."
"However, for the ones who want to come, travel, and possibly settle with us, follow, as we make our journey. I wish you all the best" said Showdo, as he dissipated his Shadow barrier, leaving everyone shocked, while slightly annoyed at the sun, while their eyes adjusted.
And so they finally were close by, to their attended destination. BUT, Vector was asleep… but it matter naught.
As Showdo swore himself, and Vector having already discussed his plans, and so, Showdo had enough knowledge to navigate from here.And with these thoughts, he looked over at the wide eye girl, as she giggled mischievously, while taking in her surroundings.
And so looking up to Showdo, and then back to Vector's unconscious body, she said,
"Uncle Sho. We need to go. I want Nice Ma- Father…Hmmm, yes, he said it. Daughter. Me! Hahahahah… let's go make Father happy!"
Showdo seeing the girl, beaming with a childish smile, couldn't help but smile himself, especially as he replayed the young miss's first words, in his head.
'Uncle Sho, hmmmm. She wants to make him happy, by getting there. Very well. Yet, I must be careful, as he warned me of the heavy presence of bandits and local gangs. Hah… we're here Young Prince, yet you're asleep. Oh well.'
"Hmm, yes young miss. Let's go, shall we?" Showdo responded back, while seeing half the crowd split, some going their separate ways, yet a significant amount of people came over to where they were standing.
Indicating they were ready to travel along with them. Including Khione's friends and their families. And so, after getting everyone rounded up, while looking for signs of which way they were, they finally were on their way.
The Journey to MoonStone begins!!!
