In a dark empty void, something glows , a photon ring or an accretion disk type object that surrounds two pyramids one above another with the flat heads facing each other but not touching. All of them are illuminating the empty void and the only being there was a man ,he greets us ," how are everybody doing ", and he then thanks everyone for visiting him
He is standing in the void alone with only the two objects accompanying him , he has a figure of five foot seven, wearing a white body suit, with a green band which is pulled below his neck revealing his mouth and the upper part of his neck . He is pondering as to where he should start .
Though pondering on it at first , he soon comes to a decision . He starts the tale and says that he knows it was going to happen anyways and that it was meant to be this way but he is also curious to see if there is something he didn't understand or get , even though it's impossible because of his constant perfect knowledge and understanding , but he is still curious as to whether the readers will have a new perspective on the events that he doesn't has .
He said ,"once there was land and space before this empty void. Zorm was the wonderful land surrounding space. In that space there was a planet ,thriving of life, full of possibilities and wonders,once bright and vast space had turned into a dark empty void ."
"Should I tell the stories of the world and beyond, it will be injustice to it , but I will try my best ."
So he starts narrating with his constant perfect knowledge, he begins the story by mentioning Epoch, a security officer , his exploits are very important to the tale of how the void ,the illuminating pyramids and the photon ring type of object surrounding the pyramids came to be .
"Sam wake up look what's there.", the cir said . Samuel wakes up to find themself tied to a blood red object , Sam is unable to discern the object he is tied to but after a while his vision clears and he looks at it again this time he is able to clearly see it and recognize it . It is a flesh branch of a flesh tree .The flesh tree is blood red in colour with veins protruding from the base of the tree to the crown similar to the veins and arteries & veins ; inside a living being .
Though Sam was shocked when he realized the fact that he is not using telekinesis for hearing and is able to hear without it , he has this thing a heavy bony structure in front of him , a thick thing in its lower part ,he has two things in both sides , his head is shaped weirdly , he realises, this is because humans in this world don't have mouths,ears,nose and a name .There are no genders The very fact a concept like this exists bewildered Sam but none of it stressed him because of his Shurmex the glowing orb and the dark pyramid behind his head has changed which is seen as a wholesome thing that is why he is not panicking and is instead curious about the flesh branch he is tied to .
He speculated that this could only mean that he is going to get reabsorbed in the flesh tree . Sam thinks it is pointless because every human goes back to the flesh tree eventually and what it is the cir is talking about when it said, "look there" , He started jolting happily because his Shurmex was changing .Then Sam got reabsorbed which is similar to dying for this world , then the cir was flabbergasted but they can't get flabbergasted, somebody did something to it , they were at a factory complex , underground in a warehouse room, from the dark end of the room ,there called a voice ,"If you are there no need to worry, I am going to make it quick and easy ", The cir immediately confronted the visitor because this was not Telekinesis , it was an actual sound , so then then cir immediately asked "Who are you ? " The visitor replied," it doesn't matter " , he came out of darkness standing at five foot seven inches which is considered as a giant in this world where humans are only 8 inches tall , the Cir looked at them and recognized them to be Epoch , he stood there looking at cir curiously and asked him that has he seen a Human called Samuel , this confused and shocked the cir , the fact that it felt associated to the concept of "him" because cir's don't have gender just like humans, and the fact he knew the name Samuel , a name is a made up concept by cir to confuse their opponents , how does he know about this while thinking that the cir got teleported to a prison where the cir was held captive .Cir asked where is he held captive , Epoch replied ," you are at the planetary prison where you will be further studied." How did you do it ? " cir asked , Epoch answered,"I can bend concepts and ideas. Any ideas pre existing and unknown to me are known by just a finger tap ,and I figured out that The human had been reabsorbed in a flesh branch as he saw a flesh tree there .
Flesh trees are eternal. They have existed even before Zorm but they started to give birth to humans after mimicking Zorm's ecosystem where bugs were born from trees, it copied the behaviour and gave birth to humans .
Epoch tried to interrogate the cir but cir said " you don't need to" your Shurmex will not change Epoch said,"you know I have a name right"cir was surprised but " how and why ? " Epoch replied that everything that can be and will be is under his control through bending ideas he can wield them, even the ones foreign to him .
The very fact that he gave himself a name which bewildered cir , "how could it be " said the cir confused Epoch then proceeded to call out cir's name"Emphione right ?"Cir was so confused how did he do it, and the thing about Shurmex it changed or not doesn't matters because he doesn't attaches himself to it .Name is a made up concept by Cir to confuse it's opponents because normally people are identified through their shurmex by giving them a name,they confuse their victims as they are left thinking about the concept ,but how did a human came to know about it is beyond the cir's understanding .
Cir asked "can I get further information on your powers ? "Epoch said , " no I won't give any further information until something happens. "
Epoch then leaves cir to think and moves out of the cell where cir was imprisoned Epoch says that the prison wouldn't have been effective enough to keep the Cir imprisoned if it wouldn't have been for the photon ring type disc that surrounds it ,this was possible thanks to Epoch .
A human scientist came to visit Epoch he stated that a cir of this level , only the most proficient Voz or Security officer are able catch let alone hold them as a prisoner, Epoch stated to the pointy shaped head that currently they have detected over 9 million cirs to be around the planet and that they are showing the behaviour of naming and making flesh trees reabsorb the captured humans which is quite puzzling ias humans eventually end up getting reabsorb by the flesh trees so why to go and extra mile to send them back, this could be threatening the very existence of the human race, which not a big concern as the Shurmex doesn't changed due to it instead getting reabsorbed makes the two Shern and ex glow The was at ease talking to Epoch telepathically as his Shurmex allowed him to do so . He said ,"Shurmex and ex are integral part and getting reabsorbed creates a null like state in both of them so it's not a big problem instead it's a neutral state, if getting killed is not bad then this not to , I am sorry for that human not being present but I am not sad as he will be in a null state as at least there Shurm is ." Epoch looked at the mouthless and earless and said to him that he is going to find the root cause of this behaviour showcased by the cir's, he thought to himself there is reason behind it which is more important than humans getting reabsorbed he said in his mind"I will not reveal this or the authorities will make it public to the masses which will make the Cir go into even more hidden areas of the planet or even Zorm,"Normally they don't hide because hiding is not a concept achievable until someone starts looking for them . " Epoch and a few others are exceptions to it because they can bend concepts , he knows only two others who can do so but now his focus is on something else a giant flesh tree has gone missing and he has to find it .
Before taking any further action Epoch was disturbed by the scientist's questions.The humans questions,the human asked, " Hey how do you have a name , I heard the cir give names to their captured victims, so you might be a captured victim ?"Epoch replied " No , I gave myself one by making a new concept like name." The scientist said, "I thought you could only bend information to serve your purpose ." Epoch replied," No not only information ,but also concepts and much more.","How exactly?", the pointy shaped brain asked , Epoch answered , " exactly if you ask I bend concepts and through that I Am able to extrapolate and combine many concepts with each other,thus creating new ones." The scientist asked a question again ,"Can you give an example ? ", "Okay" said Epoch then proceeded to explain that for this idea called "name" he combined the concept of sound with the concept of association he then associated the sound with himself called Epoch,as soon as the scientist heard the explanation their Shurmex changed . He wanted to ask further questions but before it could ask Epoch leaves the room with the help of teleportation , The scientist was left there alone in front of the prison cell of the cir , Epoch teleported to the flesh forest there he stood up against a cut flesh tree thinking where it is currently and why would someone take a flesh tree he thought , somebody might use it to smuggle new born humans to traffickers who will then traffic them to be slave for building Char pillars for the amusement of others.Chars are pillars made out of Cha which is found on the peaks of mountains and are used to make those pillars which when made can make the spectators' Shurmex changed which is highly pleasurable, so it is highly sort after too and humans are required to make the pillar but another possibility is it could be used to smuggle the flesh trees to reabsorb humans, like all humans that's what Cir seems to be doing or the fact that it could be used to empting the forest which will create a decay landslide , a decay landslide is when there are so less flesh trees that their is nothing to hold the soil together then a landslide occurs which has the decayed particles which kill anything in contact , or to experiment upon and give birth to a new species or a completely different beings, many possibilities are but which one is it , as he does that the flesh tree near to him births a new human , Epoch looks at it , the human's Shurmex is activated and is rapidly changing creating a blast which is immediately contained by Epoch's aura,The blast is than nullified but then Epoch starts thinking"Whoever took the flesh tree modified this one so that if anyone comes to find evidence they will be killed by the blast,now there needs to be a sensor "Epoch theorized or maybe they planted a bomb knowing somebody will in future but for that it has to be accurate to the utmost certainty when someone is going to arrive which means either the user has high intelligence or is aware of When somebody comes to the forest he then goes to a local's house to ask whether they know about it or not,"Hey you folks", he exclaimed,"Have you seen someone suspicious going to the forest? "The locals answered, "No, they haven't seen anyone suspicious."
Epoch was standing in a empty room of a local house when Suddenly a wave came towards Epoch but his aura stopped it and then he started to think what could this wave be and what are its effects,The aura did not seem to be targeted at him but towards anyone , this could be a local's doing , or Epoch thought whoever did this is also responsible for the flesh tree disappearance and the human bombing, Epoch theorizes this was a contingency to make sure that whoever survives the flesh forest blast if comes to the local houses for any reason whether it's interrogation or help , they will be hit by this wave .This aura can have different effects on it's victims , their Shurmex could be affected or other aspects. He thought hard that killing doesn't seems the intention here instead it is about defense and not letting anyone to get to the bottom of the situation , as the blast in the forest was enough to kill a person but not many ,if many security officers would have been present it would have killed one one or two hardly and leave few injured so the intention here is not kill but to leave no trail and to shock anyone investigating the case .
Epoch had an idea but a risky one at that , he called one of the locals and asked them to stand in front of him again the wave came this time hitting the local as soon as it passed through there was only a small distance of thirty centimetre left between the was and Epoch and the wave was traveling at a remarkable speed of hundred kilometres per hour but Epoch managed to use his powers in a nano second ,he stoped the wave midway , then Epoch looked at the local to see what kind of effect it had but he found nothing out of ordinary ,there is no visible change but theorizes there can be internal change or something else may have occurred the he tried to ask questions to the local but the local couldn't reply or even say a word as if somebody has taken away their telekinesis then Epoch realised what's been going on, he deduces that this is done so that no survivor of the flesh forest blast can come and ask the locals for anything , the wave takes away it's victims telekinesis ,so there should be a censor which senses people or maybe the beam has an innate characteristic of sensing it's victims or maybe it hits periodically after a certain amount of time , so Epoch stood there to see whether it will come again but nothing happened so this means either there is a censor or the beam has innate ability to sense . While theorizing Epoch heard a large boom , he quickly teleported there and saw everything was fine , he then thought how could this be , he then scanned the area and he found a sound box , these boxes are effective piece of technology they can produce sounds of a blast , it is so convincing that anybody will that anyone will think a blast has occurred but the bigger concern is why would someone do this , the answer maybe because it is a distraction or a trap where they bait them with the sound bring them out here in the forest and then attack , so it happened Epoch was attacked by a tree beast but Epoch made a quick work of the beast killed it and then he scanned the energy signature of the sound box and the beast and traced it back to a castle where Epoch then teleported, he saw a non human entity standing in the middle of the hall way , it then disappeared Epoch started thinking about all the possibilities may be the human is faster than his perception, or maybe it can turn invisible and maybe it can enter a pocket dimension whatever is the case Epoch is alert about the slightest movement in the air and knows it will reappear at any second . There are many directions it can attack from front , maybe side ways, he thought of all the possibilities in a nano second , as he did so the thing attacked from behind but got stuck in the middle of air by an object which is similar to photon sphere then Epoch put that thing to rest , as he did so , he thought to himself any of the other security officers would have been killed . This was the plan Epoch theorizes first a blast that kills a single security officer or kills few security officers , then hinder the survivor's ability to talk to any of the locals if they manage to convince few of the locals somehow then a sound of a blast occurs which makes them come to the forest and there they get attacked by the tree beast if survived the security officer will use Kooam to trace the energy signature back to this castel where they will be attacked by the non human entity in a nano second whoever planned this is very intelligent and may have planted more contingencies , Epoch then uses his aura to trace back the energy signature to an empty ground in the middle of the jungle Epoch thought this could mean the non human entity was made here as not to reveal the location of the hideout or maybe it's here , maybe invisible , then Epoch used his powers but nothing was there , Epoch was pondering as to where the hideout will be then while thinking he looked at the ground and saw a worm going under ground which gave Epoch idea to explode the ground bellow him for this he used his powers .He two stones rotated thim in his photon sphere looking aura and smashed them at speeds beyond light it released massive amounts of force but then so not to make the explosion too big , he absorbs and changes them back to stones . The blast destroyed the roof of the secret lab Epoch went down levitating in the air he landed in the facility where he confronted the human there , The person said "you look different than others", Epoch looks in front of him there was the giant flesh tree . Epoch wasted no time and asked who are they and what are they doing but before any response there was a huge blast and Epoch contained the blast but the person died , Epoch theorizes that this might be the final contingency, if a security survived the previous traps they would trace the energy back to this place and would be caught in the blast thus leaving no survivors . Whatever the purpose this flesh tree has I have to destroy it before it is able to fulfill that purpose ,so did he , he destroyed the flesh tree .
Epoch is relieved that the mission was over , his Shurmex changed but it didn't affect Epoch as he can bend reality and existence so can he stay away from them ,the doings of Shurmex has no bearing on him , " this was a moderately difficult mission " he exclaimed There is something else he has to do a phenomena bad been worrying the security council , a blank phenomena has been detected on a surface of a star .
Epoch goes on a mission to find the origins of this blank , first he visits the star Ebilus which had sun mountains, mountains made out of plasma. By using his powers he is able to keep everything harmful away from himself,he made a pathway to the sun mountains by using his powers , in one of the Sun mountain's base there lies a blank , blanks are phenomenons that originate from outside the creation they are incomprehensible in nature so Epoch used his powers to join comprehension with the object to perceive it , the blanks originated with cir so they have a connection so if a Blank is here then there should be a cirs near but Epoch looked everywhere and found no cirs. Maybe it's a distraction or something else might be in play. Currently Epoch has no idea so he goes back to the planet,to security council headquarters.
The non-human Epoch killed , its corpse started moving it then started absorbing all the Shurmexs from the locals of the village on middle of its three horns surrounding the castle then sent the Shurmexs to different locations throughout the planet where it all collected in different pods .
The scientist took inspiration from a plasma butterfly while creating the non-human entity .
The plasma butterfly has wings made out of plasma , when it comes to reproduction, the parent will lay many eggs in different location and also lay a plasma collector , the collector will collect plasma and then when the plasma caterpillars is in their cocoon stage they will get the collected plasma , when they are ready to hatch they have plasma wings ,each butterfly will have different colours of wings .
The non-human was made by using the same concept , where the collector is the non human entity and this case it collects Shurmex ,the non-human was created as a distraction also so that the security wh the officers will think the mission is done but in reality this is just the start .
Even though the main laboratory was destroyed it didn't hinder the scientist's plans because there are nineteen different laboratories which has seven different flesh trees .
The scientists at the security office found that the blank entered the creation from the exact point where it is currently located this puzzled Epoch because typically the blank would be located far away from its entry point . " What are they up to ? "
Maybe this blank acts like a message for something to all the cirs or maybe it is some kind of ritual where some conditions must be fulfilled for something to happen until and unless he talks to a cir he will never know , he thought .
Epoch came in front of the cell where they kept the cir , he then teleported through the barrier and as he entered the cell he asked the cir about this behaviour, the cir didn't reply then Epoch used his powers to get an answer but he didn't get any answers or even the slightest clue as to what happened instead he got that the cirs are commanded to put blanks in its original location
This could mean it's a coordinated plan to distract everyone or some kind of ritual.
Epoch thought to himself either he has to find a cir who has more information or sacrifice his own life to inform every security officer throughout the planet
Though this is risky because not because it will cost his life but he one of the most proficient security officer and without him only few can handle a cir .
A scientist came to meet Epoch and told him that maybe the cir want to all unite together and conduct a massive invasion . Epoch said ," That's highly unlikely because then why have the flesh trees reabsorb all the humans ", the scientist replied "maybe to make humans go extinct" , that's also unlikely according to Epoch because the human population is ninety billion and there are only a million of flesh trees.
Both scientist and Epoch were left pondering on all the possibilities .
