The very foundation of Mularkham was built upon a hidden, intricate network of forces, each one contributing to the stability and continued existence of the world. At the heart of it all lay the Uni-tree—a transcendent existence that acted as the conduit through which the components of YOR could be accessed by the living organisms of the universe. The YOR system was not just a simple set of abilities or powers; it was a living force, fragmented into twelve primary components, each governing a different aspect of existence. The Uni-tree was the bridge between these components and the life forms of Mularkham, allowing them to access and harness the power of YOR.
Each Uni-tree birthed two planes of existence, essential to maintaining the balance of YOR across all worlds. These planes were created to supplement the incomplete nature of YOR, as one Uni-tree alone could not support the full breadth of such a powerful, multidimensional force. Each plane acted as a supplement, providing the missing pieces of the puzzle for life to thrive, ensuring that no being was ever without the opportunity to tap into the components of YOR. Life, it seemed, was always seeking to evolve, grow, and transcend its limitations.
Under the command of the Akashic Records, the cosmic database of all knowledge, a supplement was created for each incomplete component of YOR. The Akashic Records were the ultimate authority, determining the hierarchy and potential of all beings. Every lifeform, every entity, was measured and classified according to the strength and potential of the YOR component they inhabited.
This hierarchy allowed beings to process and formulate an "Origin" of their own—a unique, individual form of existence that granted them access to one or more of the twelve components of YOR. This was the PRIMA-VERSE, the world of endless possibilities and untapped potential. The process of ascending from one component to another was difficult, a path laden with challenges, but those who managed to overcome them could access more power, more strength, and more of the potential that lay dormant within the YOR system.
However, this system was not without its challenges. Competition, survival, and the constant quest for power were ingrained in the very fabric of life on Mularkham. The Aniroid, the living manifestation of the various components of YOR, thrived within this system. These beings were born from the intersection of the Uni-tree and the planes of existence, and they served as both protectors and challenges for the beings who sought to ascend and harness the power of YOR. They were also responsible for maintaining the spiritual energy that kept the inhabitants of Mularkham in check. Without Aniroid, the worlds would be overrun by cosmic horrors—terrible entities that existed beyond the comprehension of most lifeforms.
The central structure of Mularkham was the Maraj-e-Qutb, a towering, interconnected structure that linked all seven of the Uni-trees in the third orient. It was not only a hub for the resources of YOR but also a gateway to the other worlds, connected through the shifting laws, concepts, and energies of the components of YOR. The Maraj-e-Qutb was the heart of the Aniroid system, providing access to the worlds that lay beyond, where new, unknown realms existed. This structure was a monumental force, one that granted those brave enough to seek it access to the higher levels of YOR.
The Maraj-e-Qutb was not easily accessed. Only those who had reached a certain level of mastery—those who had either formed their own origin or willingly sacrificed their previous achievements to begin anew—could enter its depths. The pain of sealing away one's accumulated growth, leaving behind years of effort and advancement, was excruciating. It was a gamble, a test of one's will and ambition. For those who chose to endure it, however, the rewards were immense. The promise of ascending beyond the limits of the current component and discovering new paths of power awaited those who dared to step into the Maraj-e-Qutb.
Yet, for all its power and significance, the Maraj-e-Qutb was not invulnerable. As the years passed, life on Mularkham adapted and evolved. Kingdoms and empires rose from the ashes of wars and cosmic horror, their inhabitants finding ways to tap into the energy of the Uni-trees and Aniroid. The fierce competition between these powers led to the formation of factions, each vying for dominance over the resources and territories of Mularkham. Some of these factions focused on nurturing their inhabitants, promoting talent and potential, while others simply sought to control and exploit the powers of the Qutb.
Amidst this turmoil, the world began to change. A shift was coming, something unseen but undeniable. Life on Mularkham had always been marked by uncertainty, but now, something else stirred within the very fabric of reality. The mists of the Misty Mystique Ocean had always been a barrier, a place where even the bravest of explorers feared to venture. Yet, the world was beginning to change. The oceans, once a vast and unexplored expanse, began to beckon. It was not just the oceans that shifted; the very laws of the world seemed to bend and twist, as if the universe itself was preparing for something great.
The birth of Akizakura, a child whose very existence was tied to the YOR system, seemed to mark the beginning of this change. The boy, a vessel for the incomplete components of YOR, was born under extraordinary circumstances. His birth did not go unnoticed. The systems of Mularkham—those vast networks that governed life itself—had detected his arrival, sending notifications across the world.
"Secret Realm: Drifting Shallows," read the notification, its words flickering across every screen, every consciousness in the world.
"Location: Misty Mystique Ocean."
"New level of realm difficulty generated."
"Introducing Uni level. Discover the hidden conditions. Perfectly conquer the realm.
Rewards:
Complete ownership over the realm's landmass and resources.
????
Remaining rewards will be disclosed at conqueror's discretion.
Good luck!!!"
This announcement sent shockwaves throughout Mularkham. Every kingdom, every faction, reacted with a mixture of awe, excitement, and fear. The Drifting Shallows, a previously unexplored and dangerous realm, was now accessible—though only to those who had proven themselves worthy of conquering it.
But amidst this global uproar, one estate stood out: the House of Sakura, the estate of Akizakura's family. The birth of Akizakura, though seemingly a joyous occasion, held a much deeper significance. His connection to the YOR system and the changes it had brought to Mularkham meant that his existence could not remain secret for long. If the world learned of his true nature, the consequences would be catastrophic. The House of Sakura, with all its power and influence, had to protect him—at any cost.
Meanwhile, Akizakura himself was blissfully unaware of the world around him. As a newborn, he was simply soaking up the love and affection of his family, a child in the arms of his parents and grandparents. His physical maturity would take time, and with it, his true potential would begin to emerge. But for now, his unique existence was postponed, locked away by the YOR system for one full Mular year. The countdown had begun.
But the world, much like Akizakura, was on the verge of change. The Drifting Shallows had opened its doors, and the promise of power, resources, and mystery beckoned all those brave enough to venture within. The tides of history were shifting, and soon, the true scale of Akizakura's birth would be revealed. The world, and the universe beyond, would never be the same.
