Within the grandeur of Clavcrest Castle, Yun stood before the entrance, seeking guidance from the System. "System, what is my next course of action?"
The response was clear: [ To activate the Elemental Synthesis Method skill, assume the Lotus Position for 1000 years, remaining motionless and keeping your eyes closed. Do not stir or open your eyes until you hear my voice. Fear not the necessities of sustenance, for these five treasures shall provide energy for the duration, eventually transforming into an artifact. ]
With determination, Yun commanded, "System, execute the Skill Elemental Synthesis Method and merge these five artifacts."
As the words left his lips, a surge of energy emanated from the treasures, enveloping Yun in a radiant glow. The air vibrated with anticipation, signaling the commencement of a millennia-long journey. Within the castle walls, the whispers of ancient secrets began to unfold, as Yun's unwavering dedication paved the way for a transformation of unimaginable proportions.
[ The Elemental Synthesis Method being used and merging these five artifacts:
1. Ardentia's White Feather (Fire element): A radiant plume imbued with the essence of flames.
2. Kurodos's Kokoro (Earth element): A sturdy, crystalline structure pulsing with geothermal energy.
3. Zephyr's Akira (Wood element): A delicate, petal-like core infused with the vitality of nature.
4. Kaelos's Dragon Bead (Water element): A shimmering, iridescent bead containing the essence of the ocean's depths.
5. Terran Blade (Metal element): A sleek, silver blade forged from the heart of the Earth's metallic core.
When these artifacts are combined through the Elemental Synthesis Method, they form a new, powerful artifact known as the: Guardian Orb.
Time: It will take 1000 years. ]
As the Elemental Synthesis Method skill activated, Yun's body began to glow with a soft, ethereal light. The five treasures surrounding him started to levitate, their energies entwining in a mesmerizing dance. The air was filled with an otherworldly hum, a symphony of ancient power and mystic forces.
Time seemed to bend and warp, the very fabric of reality flexing to accommodate the immense energies at play. Yun's form became indistinct, his body merging with the treasures in a dazzling display of light and color.
The Lotus Position, once a simple meditative pose, had transformed into a nexus of creation, a gateway to unfathomable power. The castle walls, witnesses to centuries of history, now bore testament to a new legend in the making.
In the heart of this maelstrom, Yun's consciousness expanded, his mind embracing the secrets of the universe. The mysteries of the elements, the whispers of the ancients, and the essence of creation itself all converged into a singular, blinding epiphany.
And so, the millennia-long journey began, a testament to Yun's unyielding dedication and the boundless potential of the human spirit. The world, oblivious to the transformation unfolding within Clavcrest Castle, slumbered, unaware of the epochal change that would soon reshape the destiny of all.
1000 Years Later
As the centuries passed, the world outside Clavcrest Castle underwent immense transformations. Civilizations rose and fell, empires expanded and contracted, and the forces of nature sculpted the landscape. Yet, within the castle walls, time stood still. Yun's form, now a being of pure energy, remained suspended in the Lotus Position, his consciousness exploring the vast expanse of existence.
One thousand years had passed, and the moment of reckoning had finally arrived. A soft, metallic chime echoed through the air, signaling the awakening. [ Ding! ] The System's voice resonated within Yun's mind. [ Host, open your eyes. It's time. ]
Yun's eyelids, closed for a millennium, slowly fluttered open. As his gaze adjusted, a warm, golden light enveloped him. The five treasures, now merged into a singular artifact of unimaginable power, pulsed with an gentle, ethereal glow. This beacon, a testament to Yun's unwavering dedication, cast a subtle influence across the globe. The fabric of reality, infused with the essence of the elements, began to resonate with an otherworldly harmony.
The System's voice continued.[ Congratulations, Host! The five treasures have merged into one, forming the Guardian Orb. ]
A pause ensued, followed by a query.
[ Do you want to combine this artifact with yourself? ]
The options appeared. [ Y/N. ]
Yun's response was resolute, "Yes. I grant permission. Proceed."
With his consent, the Guardian Orb began to glow intensely, its energy enveloping Yun's being. The artifact, now a radiant, crystalline entity, started to merge with its host. As the fusion progressed, Yun's form began to shimmer, his essence intertwining with the Guardian Orb's power.
The union was complete, and Yun's transformation was palpable. His eyes now shone like stars, reflecting the artifact's boundless energy.
The System's voice echoed once more. [ The combination is successful. Host, you have become the embodiment of the Guardian Orb's power. ]

Yun's voice was laced with disinterest, "Hmmm, I don't want to do anything like this anyway. Anything else apart from this."
The System responded. [ Yes, host, you can go anywhere on this earth or as far as the Exosphere simply by thinking. However, please note that you will not be able to breathe if you venture above the Exosphere. ]
Yun's excitement was palpable, "Exosphere? You mean space! Woohoooo! Let's go to space!"
The System's attempt to caution was cut short. [ W-Wait... ]
Yun's wonder was evident as he marveled, "Wow, I have become so huge, like a giant! The earth looks so tiny in front of me. It's breathtakingly beautiful from here."
The System's trailing words were lost in the vastness of space. [ ...Never mind. ]
Yun's transformation was nothing short of astronomical. His newfound enormity granted him a perspective that reduced the earth to a mere gemstone, suspended in the blackness of space. The curvature of the planet filled his field of vision, a stunning spectacle that left him awestruck.
Yun's voice was tinged with concern, "Hm? What is this? A satellite is heading straight for me! System, do something, or it'll collide with me!"
The System's response was calm and reassuring. [ Don't panic, host. ]
Yun's anxiety spiked, "Aahhhh! Wait, nothing happened to me? It just... passed right through me?"
The System's gentle reprimand followed. [ Host, think a little. As the guardian of earth, what harm can this small satellite possibly do to you? ]
Yun's expression turned sheepish, "Ahem... I know. I was just worried that if the satellite collided with me and fell to earth, someone might get hurt."
As the satellite harmlessly passed through his enormous form, Yun realized his newfound invincibility. His concern for the earth's safety was admirable, but the System's reminder helped him grasp the true extent of his powers. With a nod, Yun acknowledged his growth and the responsibility that came with it.
The System's voice was reassuring. [ Don't worry, host. As the guardian of earth, you are now invincible as long as you remain close to the planet. However, if earth suffers destruction, you will feel the impact. But rest assured, you won't perish. ]
Yun's eyes widened in wonder, "Wow, I can sense everything happening on earth! The heartbeat of the planet, the flow of rivers, even ants gazing up at the sky... Wait, why are all these creatures looking upwards? Why the sudden commotion among humans, all staring at the sky and taking photos? Is there something up there? But I don't see anything."
The System's response was simple yet profound. [ They're looking at you, host. Because you are visible to all. ]
Yun's disbelief was palpable, "Whaaaat?! Why didn't you tell me this before?! I had no idea I was so... exposed!"
The System's digital expression conveyed a hint of apologetic regret. [ :( ]
Yun's mind raced, grappling with the implications of his newfound visibility. As the guardian of earth, he had become a spectacle, a marvel visible to all. The weight of this realization settled upon him, a mix of awe and trepidation.
Yun's voice was laced with concern, "Can they even hear me?"
The System's response was matter-of-fact. [ No one can hear or see you unless you desire it, host. If you had mastered your powers earlier, this situation could have been avoided. ]
Yun's determination was evident, "What should I do now? I can't just vanish without taking action."
The System's guidance was concise. [ Simply convince them to minimize the commotion. ]
Yun took a deep breath, preparing to address the creatures of earth. With a gentle clearing of his throat, he proclaimed,
"O, CREATURES OF THE EARTH, FEAR NOT MY PRESENCE.I AM THE GUARDIAN OF THIS PLANET, SWORN TO PROTECT IT FOR EONS TO COME. MY PURPOSE IS TO SAFEGUARD THE EARTH, AND I SHALL CONTINUE TO DO SO."
His voice, like thunder on a summer day, resonated across the globe, reassuring all who heard it. The creatures of earth, from the mightiest beasts to the smallest insects, paused in awe, sensing the truth in Yun's words. As the guardian's message spread, fear gave way to wonder, and the world began to embrace its newfound protector.
Yun's curiosity was piqued, "So, how did I do?"
The System's response was concise and approving. [ Good job, host! Will you stay here now? Let's go. ]
Yun's agreement was hesitant, "O-Ok... Let's find a quiet place. Phew! I was scared for a moment. Now what?"
The System's reply was enticing. [ Now it's time for rewards. ]
