Chapter 27 - Eikon, The Mother of Spirit

Long, long ago...

God created three different realms: Gaias Land for mankind, the Spirit World for spirits, and the Underworld for demons. In Gaias Land, humans thrived, building civilizations and kingdoms, while the spirits resided in the ethereal Spirit World. The first spirit to be created was Eikon, and from Eikon, many other spirits were born.

Each spirit possessed unique abilities and governed over specific domains or elements. They were beings of light and wisdom, and their purpose was to maintain balance and harmony in the Spirit World. They guided the spirits that came after them, ensuring the natural order of things.

Meanwhile, the demons dwelled in the dark and treacherous Underworld. Led by their powerful ruler, Malgazar, they harbored jealousy and resentment towards the harmony enjoyed by the spirits and mankind. The demons yearned to conquer Gaias Land and extinguish the light of the spirits.

This desire for dominance led to a great conflict known as the War of the Realms. The spirits, along with the Spirit-Bound humans who could communicate and harness their powers, valiantly fought against the forces of the Underworld. The war raged on for centuries, with victories and losses on both sides.

Within this tumultuous time, a prophecy emerged, speaking of a chosen one—a human with exceptional abilities and a pure heart. This chosen one was destined to unite the spirits, the Spirit-Bound, and mankind against the forces of darkness. They possessed the power to restore harmony and peace to Gaias Land.

This prophecy brought hope to the weary and ignited a sense of purpose in those who believed. Heroes from different corners of Gaias Land rose to the challenge, embarking on quests to find the chosen one and fulfill the prophecy. Each hero had their unique abilities and strengths, driven by unwavering determination to protect their world.

As the war waged on, the destinies of the spirits, the Spirit-Bound, and mankind became intertwined. Together, they fought against the demons, drawing strength from unity and the conviction of their cause. The final battle approached, where the chosen one would confront Malgazar and determine the fate of Gaias Land.

This is the tale of the ancient conflict between light and darkness, the resilience of mankind, and the power of unity. It is a story of sacrifice, bravery, and the potential for redemption. The outcome of this epic struggle will shape the future of Gaias Land and all its inhabitants.

But Malgazar proved to be too powerful, overwhelming the spirits and humans in their fight against the demons. In a desperate last attempt, a momentous contract was forged between the strongest human warrior and Eikon, the original spirit. This contract marked the first transcendence stage, granting the human extraordinary power.

Empowered by the essence of Eikon, the strongest human engaged in a fierce battle against Malgazar. Their clash was a spectacle of immense power and unimaginable destruction. Ultimately, the human warrior managed to defeat Malgazar, but at a great cost. The price paid was the sacrifice of the strongest human's life.

In the aftermath of the battle, Eikon, having expended much of its energy, fragmented into six distinct forms, each representing a different elemental power. Unikon, the embodiment of light, arose to wield the power of illumination and purity. Sinkon emerged as the harbinger of darkness, harnessing the shadows and mysteries of the night. Tongkon commanded the ferocious flames of fire, while Kingkon controlled the ever-changing currents of water. Pikon became the guardian of the earth, attuned to its solid strength and nurturing aspects. Lastly, Cikon embodied the swift and untamed winds, carrying the power of movement and change.

Back to the story...

Sinkon introduced himself to Shu, revealing his true identity as the embodiment of darkness. Shu, confused and disoriented, asked Sinkon about their current location.

"Were am I?"

"WELCOME TO NAMELESS ISLAND"

Sinkon explained that they were in an interdimensional space created by Sinkon's former master, known as the Nameless Island.

The Nameless Island existed as a mysterious and secluded place, hidden from the rest of the world. It served as a sanctuary and training ground for those chosen by Sinkon's master, offering a unique environment where individuals could harness their potential and unlock their hidden abilities.
