Synchronicity, a word that sounds complicated.
What does it mean?
The logical scholar definition of synchronicity is the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible casual connection.
What of its spiritual meaning?
Synchronicities are a form of divine guidance. They are one way that your angels, spiritual guides, the universe, or a higher power communicate with you.
It is a powerful force that moves through all our lives.
On this day that a certain young boy had his first realm breakthrough, there was a synchronic event across the nation of Tiberia.
The awakening of the man who meditated underground Centerpoint City in seclusion for 10 years under the nose of Centerpoint Astral Academy was just one of the synchronous events.
Somewhere in a state faraway from Stoneflower State, a black muscular man covered with perfect streamlined muscles sat naked under an Oak Tree.
This Oak Tree faced a massive cassava farm.
He had been sitting naked under this Oak Tree for 3 years, yet the farmers who worked in the nearby farm never noticed his presence.
With his eyes closed, under the shade of the Oak Tree, his senses were honed to the peak as he observed the subtle traces and flow of wind coming from the farm. He swam with the gentle flows, and rode with the aggressive wind.
This was what he had been doing for 3 years.
With each breath that he took, bathing under the breeze of the wind coming from the farm, he understood more about the mysteries of the wind affinity.
After 3 years, at this moment, all of a sudden, a bright smile came over his face even as his eyes remained closed.
"Finally," He muttered with his eyes still closed. "Did I finally get it?"
"The essence of wind".
"No, only an epiphany, not the real thing yet". His voice was not laced with disappointment though, it instead showed excitement.
"It's a step in the right direction". For the first time in 3 years, he finally stood up on his feet as he stared at the farm opposite the Oak Tree.
Placing his hands in a praying position, he bowed towards the farm.
It was during this moment that he felt a sensation move through him, instantly he inclined his head and looked towards the South.
'This sensation…,' He was amazed. 'It's as if it's calling me'.
'My answer, will I finally get it there?'
Without thinking much about it, this warrior summoned his clothes from his space ring. He soon wore a baggy black trouser and a dirty light brown singlet.
Without saying another word, he embarked on a journey.
This man was a low-tier Commander Stage Warrior Transmutator.
3 years ago, he already fulfilled the requirements to breakthrough to the mid-tier but he held himself back, conditioning himself with the task of understanding the essence of wind first before growing further.
Would he finally achieve his goal?
…
Whoosh!
The sound of water rushing down a waterfall reverberated.
This was a famous tourism location in Tiberia, and at this moment, unknown to the other tourists, a famous bounty hunter sat with them, watching the waterfall that cast beautiful colors of a rainbow as the water fell.
For the past 222 days, she had been coming to this tourist location every day to observe the fall of the waterfall.
She was a powerful Warlock, a mid-tier Commander Stage Mage.
Today, just like every other day, she watched the waterfall without much expectations as she thought. 'Waterfall, rainbow, sun, light…, what's the truth behind it? What's the essence of light energy?'
As she watched like usual, she suddenly shuddered.
She was shocked. 'What is this sensation?'
'It's like all my cells are jumping in excitement!'
She looked to the South. 'What an unusual energy!'
'Without doubt, it'll attract a lot of powerful criminals'. This bounty hunter licked her lips like a prowling predator as her blood boiled with excitement.
As she turned back to look at the waterfall again, she was stunned as the rainbow light formed in the waterfall suddenly flashed in her vision.
Her eyes widened. 'F*ck! I'm so foolish!'
'Refraction!'
'That's the truth!'
'That's an essence of light magic!'
Carrying her backpack, this bounty hunter embarked on a journey.
…
Somewhere in Stoneflower State…
Swish! Swish!
Afterimages were left behind as standing under the sun, with his eyes closed, this young man with long black hair tried to cut the rays of the sun with his daggers.
He was so focused that sweat already drenched his body fully.
Despite the stench of his sweat, he kept on swinging his daggers. Not just the 2 daggers that he held, 6 other daggers revolved around him at this moment, cutting at ridiculous speeds.
After what felt like forever, he finally did it.
Swish!
He opened his eyes. "I cut a sun ray," He muttered calmly.
As soon as he said that, he felt something as instinctively storing all his daggers inside his vest that was beside him, he squatted like an ambush predator, becoming literally invisible to the naked eye through a technique that he used.
This young man was a feared assassin in Tiberia.
He was a mid-tier Commander Stage Manipulator.
"I smell blood". He licked his lips.
Whoosh!
One shake of his body and all the sweat disappeared from his body like they were never there. He wore his black vest the next moment then strapping his black backpack on, he started walking.
He had no destination; he simply followed the smell of blood.
…
Somewhere in a cave in Wheat Trye Wilderness…
BAM!
One swing of his hand and the gigantic rock before him was crushed.
BAM!
Another gigantic rock was smashed to pieces.
This was an ageing man built like a giant. His chest muscles were hefty like the huge ass of a fine babe, his hands as big as the same fine babe's waist.
He was a beast built in the shape of a man.
His short black hair that already had strands of gray dripped with sweat as he trained in this cave, even as he grunted with each swing of his arm.
This man was a powerful Evolver, a peak tier Commander Stage Warrior.
He went into seclusion 12 years ago seeking for the truth of physicality and hand to hand martial art that will guide him towards creating his own Path.
Till now, he was yet to find the truth. Despite this, he was not distracted, still focused on his goal until today.
BAM!
After one last swing of his arm and one last shattering of a rock, he stood straight as he looked towards the South.
"Something…, is calling me".
10 minutes later…
Thud!
The ageing man came out of his seclusion.
'Hmm, socialism, it's been so long it feels so faraway'.
'How long has it been? 10 years? 12 years?'
'I wonder if Tiberia still knows of the name, Fire Fist Ack'.
Even as this powerful Evolver came out of his seclusion having been called by something, somewhere else in the Wheat Trye Wilderness, at the very center of this dangerous wilderness, a pair of eyes snapped opened.
Blink!
They were the eyes belonging to the most powerful beast of this dangerous wilderness, the Drought Elk.
She looked to the South once, then bored, she closed her eyes back and slept.
Synchronicity.
…
1 week after Ramon's breakthrough…
Mr. Patrick stood before the 2 supposedly brightest students of this 5th year batch. "As Knight Stage Warriors, you are finally eligible to take on high risk external missions that the academy has been tasked with".
"Don't worry, they pay more than any other mission you have taken in the past".
"Why would I want to take on a mission now, fat man?" Ramon placed his hands on his hip and harumphed. "I have all the contribution points I need".
Mr. Patrick's eyes twitched but he fought the urge to hit this boy on the head.
"You know, as a Knight Stage Warrior now, you'll find out soon enough that your own effort is no longer fast enough to match your ambition".
"To grow faster, you'll want even more guidance and cultivation pills".
"You need contribution points for all of this".
"Huh?" Ramon rubbed his head in confusion.
"I accept". Freya Atreus accepted the mission.
"Huh?" Ramon felt even more confused. "How dare you betray me? How can you accept anything coming from him so easily?"
This beautiful young girl turned to face the boy with a gentle smile. "Ramon, taking this mission is for our benefit".
"Really?"
"Yes".
"Then, I accept". Ramon puffed out his chest with pride.
Mr. Patrick shook his head and finally gave them the mission summary.
