In the depths of a remote world where small, medium, and large worlds intersect, 001 was born in a humble realm. The village where he grew up was a small community filled with farming and spiritual practices. But for this strange child, his destiny was greater than just being an ordinary farmer. 001 was born with a rare bloodline, the blood of the Great Devouring Sky God and the Great Emperor Ink Giant, making his bloodline the greatest in this dimension. But with this mighty bloodline came a strange power: the ability to devour anything dead or lifeless and gain points from it, which he could use to buy tools and creatures from his system.
However, he didn't know that the beginning of his journey was about to change.
On a sunny morning, at the age of eight, 001 felt something strange. He was wandering in the nearby forest when a sudden light window appeared in the sky. It displayed cryptic and impactful words, a message from the system that had been with him since birth.
System: "Congratulations! You have now received your first gift. Prepare to discover your power."
001 was shocked by the contents of the bag. He pulled out a small egg, and when he looked at it closely, he felt something strange. The egg was glowing mysteriously, as if it contained invisible energy. But he didn't think much about the egg at that moment; the biggest surprise was that he had received something even more exciting: a new skill.
System: "You have gained a new skill: control of fire and ice. Your ability to control the elements is 1%."
001 was not accustomed to such skills. Although the skill was extremely weak at first, he felt something strange. Fire and ice were not easy to control. However, he realized that it would take time to develop this ability. But he felt something else as well. Despite the skill being weak, he had a sense that he could improve it with time.
System: "In addition to the skill, you will also receive some points to start. Use them wisely."
A small counter appeared in front of him showing the number of points he had earned. The points were few, but they were enough to give him some tools to use in the future. 001 felt the need to use these points wisely. He didn't have much time to waste thinking.
As he watched the egg in his hands, it began to crack slowly. In a sudden moment, a tiny creature emerged from the egg. It had pure white wings and shining eyes, looking like a small angel. This creature was unlike anything he had ever seen before. Its wings shimmered strangely, and it carried immense energy despite its small size.
Small Angel: "Big Brother?"
The small angel spoke its tiny words, its eyes filled with love and admiration for 001. 001 felt a wave of comfort in his heart, even though he rarely expressed his feelings. The small angel looked up to him as an older brother, someone who recognized him and relied on him. It was a strange relationship, but one filled with respect and love. At that moment, 001 realized that this creature would become an inseparable part of his journey.
System: "You have been chosen by this angel. It will be your loyal companion throughout your journey. Be sure to protect it and teach it."
Although 001 usually didn't show his emotions, having the small angel by his side made him feel something different. Now he had a small companion, someone who would make him face more powerful challenges in the future.
As 001 devoured more dead creatures in the forest, a faint light began to shine from his hands. Suddenly, he found himself able to generate a small ball of fire in his left hand, while also creating a small block of ice in his right hand. This control was far from perfect, but it was a strong start. 001 felt challenged and knew he would need to train to develop this skill.
Small Angel: "Big Brother! Can you teach me?"
001 looked at the small angel with a simple smile, as if agreeing. He knew that this angel would become an essential part of his journey, and he needed to protect it and teach it how to fight and use its abilities. But at the same time, he knew that there were many hidden forces he would have to face.
The training times were difficult. 001 focused on controlling fire and ice, but he couldn't do much at first. The fire flared up inconsistently, and the ice formed in strange, unexpected shapes. But over time, he began to master both elements little by little, until he started to feel that 1% of his power had turned into something he could use effectively.
As the days passed, the small angel learned from 001 how to become strong and how to control its emotions. With every training session, the small angel grew more confident, and 001 felt that there was a strong bond between them.
Small Angel: "Big Brother, do you think we'll overcome all the challenges together?"
001 looked at the small angel and gently replied, "Together, we can do anything."
And although 001 was still at the beginning of his journey, he knew that this ability to control fire and ice, no matter how small, was an important step forward. With the small angel by his side, he began to feel that the worlds he was unaware of would soon start to shape and evolve. This was the beginning of a long journey, filled with challenges and hardships, but with his first gift, he now had a loyal companion ready to help him.
