Chapter 3 - The Extraordinary Events

The next day, Jonathan woke up and he begin to sit up stretching his body while looking at the window, he then stand up after that he leave his room and walk toward the dining area, sitting down on corner of dining area ordered the same breakfast as yesterday. As he wait his breakfast Mary Carter walk toward his table and sit down next to him and ordered another type of breakfast on the menu, Jonathan look at her and begin the conversation about their journey and their plan, the waiter return to their table with a foods and place the food in front of them while the waiter slightly bows and leave.

Jonathan and Mary Carter looks at their meals and begin to eat it while continuing their conversation, but suddenly an earthquake occurred all over the kingdom making so much destruction causes everyone panic and evacuate to a safe place. The earthquake were getting worse and worse, it won't stop and multiple building fall apart making around 1 thousands+ people died. Jonathan and Mary Carter was surprise by the sudden earthquake which they stop their meal and their conversation.

"What the hell?! An earthquake?" Jonathan said, his face full of worried and scared, "Y-yeah! And i feel something strange about this, but i can't put the finger where's the strange is." Mary Carter panicked and her hands cover her head to protect it from debris. Jonathan tries to calm her down, his both hands lay on her shoulder and said, "Calm down Mary Carter, we need to get out of here, so we should take all of our stuff first!" Mary Carter were calm little bit but still panic, and she nodded.

then they quickly goes to their room to pack their stuff ready to leave the kingdom immediately. As they gather outside of the inn Jonathan and Mary widen their eyes because almost all building are destroyed by the earthquake, the earthquake magnitude were around 10-11 magnitude, Jonathan grabs Mary hand and quickly run away. While they're running Mary's realize that something was off about earthquake too, the earthquake were unnatural like something causes the earthquake happening. Maybe there's gonna be much worse than the earthquake itself. And Mary's instinct was right, something happens underneath the kingdom which making a massive earthquake around the kingdom, as they kept running toward exit gate while dodging all the debris from the buildings that are about to collapse, the earthquake's magnitude is getting higher and much worse, it increases into 12-26 magnitude.

Those magnitude causes an massive cracks all over the kingdom, all houses and buildings fell down into a earth cracks, on northern side of kingdom the magnitude are much higher around 40-79 magnitude, and suddenly a space distortion occur all over northern side causing a very massive explosion which wipe out an entire northern side of the Kingdom and within inside of it too. Jonathan and Mary quickly look at the explosion their eyes begin to widen and fear, all question were build inside of their mind, they realize that the space distortion is going to wipe out the kingdom from earth.

Jonathan begin to speed up his pace and finally they exited the kingdom, they were exhausted and very tired due to run out the energy of them. They sit down leaning their body to the tree while looking at the Astrealist Kingdom fall apart while multiple space distortion appearing on multiple side of kingdom, the destruction of it are the worse on history and around 1 million people wipe out from the earth, while 2 million people gone and cannot be found and only 1 thousand people were survived those destruction, they immediately evacuate to another kingdom or some nearby village.

On middle of kingdom a supermassive space distortion started and making Massive Explosion on entire kingdom, immediately wipe out entire kingdom and within inside of kingdom too. And now the Astrealist kingdom were no longer exist only massive hole were remains. Jonathan and Mary surprise and shock again due to how much destruction are made by those distortion and huge one, but on middle of the hole a blue orb appears and it begin flying to the sky and left the earth with high speed, most likely speed of light. The strange blue orb left alot of question for those who saw that orb flies through the sky, they left speechless and terrified what the outcome of that orb and maybe it's the one who causes the distortion and earthquake.

1 hours has pass, Jonathan stood up and look at her offering his hand to help her stand up, she accepted his offer and she begin to stand up after that Mary's scanning the area around them, making sure there's no threat or attacked by wild animal or another humans. "Should we continue our journey?" Mary said, Jonathan smiled and put his hand on his waist. "Yeah, we should and i already bought some foods for us to eat on journey."

Mary giggled slightly, "Well that's good to hear, by the way i've brought a map from a dealer. It's gonna lead us the shorter path." She smiled at him too, "Oh really? That would be useful, tho we need a quicker path for saving our time, but is it safe? Just to make sure it was safe for us for venture." Jonathan hoping that path are 100% safe.

"Yep it is safe, don't worry about it i heard that a lot of adventurers using this path and yet no one died or seen any bandit or monster." Mary pointed the path on her map, then she look at him innocently. Jonathan sigh, "Well if you say so, but if there an actual bandit or monster, you owe me 10 silver coins." He said jokingly, "Alright bet, and if it safe, you owe me 20 silver coins." She replied to him while giggling at him.

"Then shall we go to that path?" He said, "Okay let's go". She replied to him her face are full of happiness and positive.

Their journey is now continues, they using a shorter path for saving their time. As they walking down the shorter path the surrounding are peaceful and the sound of birds chirping all over the sky, sound of grass were to perfect for someone wanted to live their life with peace. It was a perfect condition for they who wants calm sensation, although it used for a shorter path by adventurers and merchants now. Jonathan and Mary keep walking and passes multiple Adventurer and merchants, they sees a small store that provide a foods, drinks, a simple leather armor, small knife, and etc, all that for them to buy if they need before continue, Jonathan told to Mary that they should visit that store first because they doesn't have a sword or something that protect themselves.

Mary's agree and then they goes visit to that store, they open the doors and the store employee were welcoming them and explain them what they have in their store. There Jonathan sense a immense aura causes Jonathan gasped and shocks, he quickly turn around to a source of that immense aura, he sees the source of it and it was a one of sword on sword stand surrounded by the same aura, appearance of the sword is like a dusty Holy sword that used by a King, the condition of the sword is perfect nothing was broken on the sword too. Jonathan use one of his magic called 'analyze' for anaylzed the sword description.

The sword were made by unknown material and it's very light, the durability of the sword are unknown and the sharpness of the sword were unbelievable, because the description says that "This sword can slash through a whole The Universe easily. And destroyed each Concepts within The Universe." he's curiosity begin to appeared in his mind and slowly approaching that sword. While Mary asking the store clerks about what kind of stuff their selling, Jonathan stood in front of that sword and the aura grows even stronger making Jonathan felt pressure all over his body but he slowly reach the sword ignoring the pressure in his body.

When Jonathan grip the handle of the sword, everything turn into a pitch black and Jonathan realize that he teleported back into the same void. Jonathan look around the void his face are full of shock and disbelief that he's now back into a same void, as he stood there an mysterious figure appear in front of him, the figure appearance are combinations of Cosmic, and Abstract.

"Hello, Jonathan. We've meet again, as you wonder why you here again. You can see that sword in front of you right?" The Figure speaks and the voice are very similar to The Voice, Jonathan think that The Figure were the source of The Voice. Jonathan nodded, "Yeah and why this sword has an strange aura, its not like another ordinary sword does, even the Divine Sword or Holy Sword doesn't had that same aura as that Sword."

The Figure reply to his comment, "Well it is because that sword are one of my finest and strongest sword and the Sword called 'Constant Sword', it grant the user an infinite of power and desire. But the sword only accepted one people, and it was you. You are the chosen one. The Sword has accepted your presence and your soul!"

Jonathan even more shocks, he's not expecting this by how he was accepted by the unknown sword. Jonathan speechless and The Figure begin to laugh,

"Hahaha, your not expecting this aren't you? Well let me tell you something. That sword are one of the key to unlock a information about The True Unity Of Creation and your question will be answer, and also this sword are made by every strongest material in entire The Universe, because of that the sword are unbreakable."

Jonathan widen his eyes and says, "A key to unlock a information about The Unity Of Creation? And how exactly are related to my question?" The Figure laugh at him again and then answer his question, "If you are so curious about Creation then the first thing you need to do is that you need to have the information of The Unity Of Creation and understand it, because it was the very basic of Creation, if there's no Unity then Creation would be fall apart." The Figure was right, Unity are the basic foundation of Creation holding it for sustains all Existence and everything within Creation. "Okay, that make sense. But am I worthy of receiving this sword? Considered that i'm just curious guy that want to know about a Creation and i'm just regular adventurers."

The Figure nodded and crossed it both hands on it chest. "You're far more worthy than you think, because you are different than anyone else in The Universe. You should proud of that."

Jonathan sigh and look at the sword, "Well i guess you right, and what should i do with this sword now?" He looked at The Figure again, "figure it out yourself, i'm here just for giving a hint, so that you can know about Creation deeply."

Jonathan sigh deeply and slightly getting annoyed to The Figure. "Fine i'll figure it out, we're done right?" The Figure happily nodded and snaps it fingers, and then Jonathan teleported back to his reality.

Jonathan look around and he was still on the same place and same position. Mary was asking and negotiation with the seller, Jonathan finally looks at the sword and begin to grab it, he walks toward the seller Jonathan ask the seller how much the sword cost, Seller says that sword cost around 2-4 silver coins which is cheap for a normal sword. Seller doesn't know that the sword were the strongest in The Universe, Jonathan pays that sword and Mary's was in front of the store doors, she was finished negotiated with the seller and bought some stuff for her.

Jonathan grab his new sword and exited the store, he looked at Mary's his face were full of smile but on his mind he'd still thinking about that events. "Let's go Mary, i've got the sword so we safe for now." Mary Carter giggled and nodded. "Alright Jonathan, let's go continues our journey." Then Jonathan and Mary Carter begin to walk toward next Kingdom using a shorter paths, as they still walking on the path they passes multiple Knights patroling on shorter path which mean that they're almost at the next kingdom.

And at the end of the path they finally arrive at the next kingdom and the kingdom called 'Terienst Kingdom', Terienst Kingdom are small compared to Astrealist Kingdom but their Knights are one of the strongest among the strongest Knights on every kingdom on continent. As they arrived at the entrance of the kingdom, The Knights hold them and asking them to check their backpack nicely, The Knights were nice and very polite and kind which make alot of people on the kingdom wanted to be a knights for protecting a innocent people. Of course Jonathan and Mary Carter are cooperative to the knights and listen what they said, their checking were perfect nothing goes wrong with it, the knights nodded and step aside and then they enter the kingdom. They immediately tries to find an inn like a normal adventurer does.

They finally found a inn and it was cheap than the previous inn, around 5-10 bronze coins per night. Jonathan and Mary Carter rented 2 rooms for 4 days and 4 nights, they're tired due to long journey and they even didn't had a fully rest on previous kingdom due to unknown events that destroyed that previous kingdom. Jonathan and Mary quickly goes to their own separated rooms, immediately jump to their bed and sigh with relief, after that they fall asleep. After all they need some fully rest because a recent events occour on Astrealist Kingdom.
