After more than three hundred centuries in the alternative world, human has developed to a certain extend that is far beyond the development of earth, the alternative world is full of wonders and great knowledge and everyone willing to seek this knowledge will make a breakthrough in the area they wish to thread.
After battle as reduced to a level of small skirmish, human got some breathing space which allow them to focus on other areas apart from developing combat power. Equipped with the knowledge from earth and the resources in the alternative world which is ten times better than that of earth, human developed at a very fast rate in term of technology, medicine and other areas, while introducing new things to the alternative world that is unique to human and not found in the alternative world like human culture and civilization, art and craft and the different kind of entertainment that intrigues other races.
Every races in the alternative world has their own uniqueness, the Elves are known for their nature and elemental magic which is beyond the comprehension of other race, the dwarf are well known for their high level of material technology development that makes what human does looks like child play before them, The Titans are known for their great and unfathomable strength, the beast-kin are known for their ability to shapeshift between humanoid form and their innate animal form, the Nagas are well developed in the art of cunningness while the insect race are holding the top rank when it comes to battlefield strategies due to their connected mind which allows them to have effective communication ability and rapid information gathering.
But the diversity of human is what this other race cannot wrapped their head around or understand no matter how much their try, though human are not well developed in each areas of knowledge and ability like the other races that have a unique traits, the all roundedness of human is what's unique about them, they not only know magic, though not to the level of the Elves, but they also have knowledge in technology, medicine and are beings with high level of intelligence.
Due to human uniqueness, they were able to form alliance with other race who are not in conflict with them like the Dwarves, Elves and Insect race, further helping them to improve in the area of magic, technology and soul development. Because of how insect communicate with each other, human discover that, it is not only beneficial to them to be friends with them to get things done faster, but learning how their mind works has also helped human strengthen their soul to a higher level thereby improving their overall Spirit and Soul quality.
But with all this great development that has happened in the alternative world, everyone's knowledge of how things work was overturn with the situation of a young teenager.
Nicolas was the first of his mother and the second of his father, having two other siblings from his mother, the secret of being the second of his father is not known to anyone apart from his parent and sibling and none of them speak about it openly. Like every other teenage of his age, he has been looking forward to the day of his Spirit Affirmation Ceremony which will determine his fate and the direction he will follow. He has always dream of becoming a combatant, entering dimensions and fighting corrupted being and become stronger.
Conquering dimensions and realms and obtaining the resources in it has been the greatest contributor of every race in the alternative world. With the ability of this dimension to reflect and affect reality, it has been a very vital part of the parallel world and everyone's desire is to be able to influence reality with their power and decide not only their fate, but the fate of many others.
Nicolas is not left behind in this desire to take his fate by his hands and like many young ones in the Human Alliance, he look forward to the day of his Spirit Affirmation Ceremony that will decide the direction of his fate.
But all this desire and dream were soon forgotten when it was discovered on his Spirit Affirmation Ceremony that he had a decayed Spirit root, it was a devastating moment for Nicolas and a day he earnestly which he had not been born. For what has never been in the record of mankind and even in the parallel world happened to him, he was born with a decayed Spirit root.
He became the dreg of the world, with everyone wishing to kill him and erase him from the history of mankind, he also despise himself and many times tried to kill himself to no avail. In order to protect him from the wrath of the world and to protect their little family, his mother sacrificed her soul power in order to move them to a place where no one will be able to find them in order to survive and leave the rest of their live peacefully, but Nicolas and the rest of his family life was never the same again.
His sibling, Tabitha who came after him was not able to perform her Spirit Affirmation Ceremony thereby being unable to unlock her Soul power and his mother also became an ordinary human after she sacrificed her soul power to help them all escape from their pursuer.
They begin to live from cave to cave, in the darkness where the world can't see them and won't be able to harm them.
Living miserably and being resign to fate, Nicolas decide to live out the rest of his days looking forward to the day he would encounter an accident that is enough to end his miserable life once and for all. But even at the lowest of the low, at the point where life become meaningless and living become pointless, destiny seem to be triggered and fate took an unimaginable turn for the better for Nicolas in a place unimaginable.
They say a man is build and nurture in a cave and comes out to the whole to become great, this statement is true for Nicolas when he found something that shouldn't have possibly be found under normal circumstances.
Deep in one of the cave channel Nicolas and the rest of this family are hiding is Nicolas doing his routine stroll moving from one cave to another and from one channel to another looking for the opportunity to be able to end his life and start afresh after being reincarnated as another person or probably a plant. Well anything is better than the current him, even a young grass that will wither away after a short while is of more value than the him.
Walking around aimlessly without any direction as he usually does though every time he move around like this, as if fate is mocking him, he will always by one way or the other find himself in the cave they camped in. One this faithful day while walking through various channels of the cave, Nicolas caught sight of something which attracts his attention.
It was a crevice on the wall of a cave not too far from him and between the crevice is a light that find it way to escape from the tiny gap between the crevice. Out of curiosity, Nicolas moved close to the wall the light is emitting from to have a better look at it, but he is unable to see through the light that is coming from the little gap in the wall.
After contemplating for a while, Nicolas decide to break the wall and see the source of the light. His mother always make sure that whatever place they are camping is free from beast or monsters that could threatening their safety so he is confident that there won't be any monster waiting for him at the other end.
Picking a stone laying around to break the wall, after just hitting it once, the wall gave way with no resistant and the whole cave is illuminated with a great light causing Nicolas to shut his eye due to the intensity of the light in the cave.
