Absolute darkness surrounded him, he felt nothing. It was as if he was in a suspended space without any existence, he did not know if this was the space after his death or a deep sleep that haunted his thoughts. All he remembered was his body being torn to pieces, while there was even the possibility that his remains would be eaten by a gray wolf. He did not feel the passage of time. He stayed suspended for seconds, minutes even though he was thinking about many things, he didn't even feel pain for his strange death. He thought about his family, the distance and hardship they faced, but he didn't even remember the feeling of sadness, his limited consciousness was staring at the blackness ahead.
His eyelids didn't move, they were all black whether they were closed or open, but he couldn't move either. Silence and only silence could be heard around.
He felt lonely more than ever, loneliness did not mean only the absence of feelings towards a living being. The surrounding environment also left its love in existence. The homeland, the warmth of the sun's rays, even the slightest displacement all had their own effects. He didn't know how much time he spent in this empty space, but his consciousness was slowly fading.
Years or decades, maybe not a minute had passed. Finally, he showed his light, he still couldn't move, but that was better than before. A large hourglass appeared and started working, but it was doing a different thing. Instead of moving down, the grains of sand went up bit by bit and filled the upper half of the clock. The more time passed and the closer he got to the end, the more he lost his ability to think. Until he saw only a screen, the rest of his consciousness was lost.
A lady so beautiful that just looking at her could destroy a mortal's mind in a second was lying on an ancient black bed, her long and messy fiery hair was down to her waist, her amber eyes were shining and her shirt Long indigo, which spread peace with its delicate movements. It wasn't just beauty, the aura around the woman was no joke even without unleashing her power.
All around the hall, the servants were waiting for his command, each of them, like himself, emitted an aura of nobility and at the same time deadly. Over time, there were many visits to the castle. Scary servants, each of whom seemed more mysterious than the other, subjects who did not resemble a normal subject, and commanders who all looked at him with respect.
Years passed like this, the red dragon's castle was famous in the immortal world, he treated people well and no one dared to invade his territory. The same expectation came from the right hand of the God of Light, but it was not worthless.
People were living happier than the previous day and this was always progressing, walking around the city, laughing and having fun without any pretense. According to his own words, he had all this by the grace of the God of life. Unfortunately, the world was not Golestan everywhere and it never always went as it should.
The seven great gods each ruled a part of the eternal world, the god of life, who was also known as light, the god of chaos, also known as death, right in front of him and the staunch enemy of life. Relying on the name was enough to understand the opposition between the two, as opposed to the realm of life where they were spending their days peacefully and happily. The people of Chaos Realm were more greedy and power hungry. Death was natural among them and poverty was common among people. The only way to make a living was by looting other people's property.
The images were moving fast, it reached a point where no light could be seen in people's eyes anymore, the darkness penetrated the realm of the God of Life and tormented them. People who were supposed to be immortal died one by one. The sound of screeching metal and severed heads filled the thriving realm.
The war progressed evenly, even though they were surprised, but the power of the red dragon was unmatched after the gods. Unfortunately, cleverness and cunning did not always penetrate through the power, sometimes he would sneak and put his opponent to the ground with a trick.
The red dragon had everything in life, happiness. God's blessing, his people, long life. But despite all this age, she was still an innocent girl who dreamed of love. The chaos dragon of a cunning man in the field, despite his weakness, conquered his mind and body and little by little. This was a disaster for the realm of life. A disaster that ended in their defeat and the reduction of their territory with the lives of many people.
He lost his blessing, was betrayed by his love and was cursed by his god. It was abandoned by people, except for two servants and an empty castle, only the fruit of his unfulfilled love remained for him. All that glory turned into a crippled woman on the bed, her face no longer looked beautiful. It was as if he had been infected.
He saw his baby cry until he was on all fours. He had exactly the same fiery hair as her with beautiful honey eyes. In general, he had inherited his former beauty and glory, this was the encouragement to continue his life. Little by little, the girl took a step and grew up. But his condition seemed worse and worse day by day. Thieves broke into the castle and took the things, sometimes they beat him and made fun of him. Once someone even came to the castle hoping to find the body of the most beautiful woman in the world, but when he saw her, he ran away like a madman.
His face became uglier and uglier until he decided not to talk to his daughter face to face. Four people in an empty castle and a growing girl was in a bad situation. Hardly years passed. The girl became more understanding than before until she understood all the events. She did not hate her mother because of the past, she always smiled warmly at her and despite all the hardships, she did not complain to her even once. He had no way to go out, his mother was weak, and almost the only person who had trouble with them was the door and the wall and sometimes the rats of the castle.
He was secretly crying without a shoulder to take refuge in. His mother was getting worse every day. After many years, a servant left them and no one remained in the castle except his mother's servant. He had to do something, all this was the fault of his bastard father, that's why he often blamed himself for his mother's suffering.
He made his decision and went to God of Light, knelt down and begged to remove his mother's curse. He did not see God but only the inspiration he got as a result of his talks. It was a test to go to the mortal world and pass the punishments of his mother. He had no conditions, the girl happily agreed without a second thought. He would give his life so that his kind mother could taste happiness again.
He was destined to be tested as the servant of a mortal of the same root as his race and to ascend again with him. It was not an easy task. How many mortals were able to ascend to the immortal world? Except for the humiliation of taking orders from a mortal. But with a life of several thousand years, it did not seem so difficult.
"You can only choose a mortal once and you will pass a test together. If you fail, both of you will die, but I promise you, in any case, your mother will be the same again."
After seeing all this, Ryan regained consciousness. Although he was still suspended in the dark, he could feel everything. A voice broke the surrounding silence and illuminated the path ahead of him:
"Aspect Awakening Test."
Victory will be a return to life.
And failure will bring more pain and torment than death.
do you accept?
Ryan was happy at first, hearing the word aspect was rare even in the entire sect, but seeing the situation he was in, it was not a very digestible option. He had no other choice, he did not suffer less and this was the only way to return and become stronger.
The core was used to enhance aspect and over a long period of time, consuming it at once brought nothing but death. He had read all this and that one person out of every 1000 people gets this blessing. He hadn't heard anything about the test, but it didn't matter.
He just accepted and as a result his vision became dark again......
