Chapter 1 - The Convergence

The world was normal with nothing special,

well that was until The earth dimension collided with the heavenly and underworld dimension which led to catastrophic events due to the essence of the other dimensions.

The essence caused unbelievable mutation on both plant and animals given then supernatural powers.

Humans were not left out of the loop, as some people awakened unbelievable powers.

This might seem great at first, but it was just the beginning of the colaspe of humanity.

In just three days civilization was destroyed people with great powers who call themselves, conquerors,lords and heroes took over different territories.

Mike a 19 year old orphan who has had nobody to call family or friend, ran to the Forest amid the chaos.

His ability soul-master which allows him to collect soul was not suitable for battle so he decided to run away from the chaos.

After walking nonstop for a few days inside the Forest his body couldn't take the stress so he fell down and lost consciousness.

Mike woke up the next day. After surveying his surroundings he realized he has no idea where he is.

He first thought about how to get water. Thankfully there was a stream close by and there were a lot of fruit trees around.

After a while of contemplating his situation he decided the Forest would be his new home since it was far away from all the chaos.

Mike was not worried about surviving in the wild, this is because he can converse with the souls he collect and they have to absolutely obey his commands.

The night was fast approaching so he decided he needed to find a place to sleep for the night.

He first thought about making a tent, but die to the Convergence animals have also gone through mutation, which means a tent was not safe .

He finally settled on finding a cave. After walking for a few hours he finally came across a huge tree. Which was far bigger than any tree he had saw in the Forest, he decided that this would be the safest place in the forest.

He took a huge stick and started to dig right below the tree. After a few hours he was finally able to form a cave right below the tree.

He then went ahead to get some dry leafs and began to put them into the cave, after a while he was able to form a cushion.

Mike immediately dived into the cave and slept off.

Mike woke up the next day and decided it was time for him to make some tools if he wants to survive in the forest.

He first took a walk around the huge tree and found out the tree had different fruits, he also noticed the plants around the tree were emitting strange energy, he decided not to think much about it as anything was possible due to the Convergence.

" I can't explore to far cause I have no idea what dangers lies in the Forest " mike advised himself as he began to look for a suitable rock so he can make a stone dagger.

After wondering around the forest for a few hours he was able to gather some rocks.

After gathering the rocks he then asked one of the souls he collected which had a general knowledge on survival " how do I make a dagger with all this? ".

The soul then said " Select a piece of rock about the size of a small melon with a flat or concave side. A concave face is ideal, as it gives you a surface that can be struck many times and the flaking geometry is just right. This will be the rock you break into blades. Select another rock that's round and a little bigger than a large egg. This round stone will be your hammer. with your hammer stone from inside the concave face. Hit it hard—right on the edge—and follow through with the strike, kind of like driving in a nail with your hammer. ".

Following the instructions of the soul mike tried to make a stone dagger but failed multiple times, mike who was about to give up then decided to try one more time, and to his surprise he succeeed.

Mike then took the dagger and sharpened a a long stick to make a spear to protection.

" I need to get a general knowledge of where I am, and the best way is to get to the top of this huge tree" mike said to himself as he looks at the tree.

With the knowledge of the souls mike scraped off the bark of trees around the surroundings and was able to weave a long rope to aid him in climbing the tree, he was also able to create another dagger.

After all the preparation mike decided he was going to climb the tree the next morning.

Thanks to his dagger and ripe he was now able to create a make shift door for his cave.

In the silent night mike found it hard to sleep thinking someone might attack him while he slept due the events that happened after the Convergence.

he was able to sleep the night before because his body was tired.

The next morning mike came out from the cave looking tired. He was not able to get any sleep .

He went to the stream and took a bath , eat some fruits and then decided it was time to climb the tree.

The tree bark were rough which made it easier to climb but the more mike climbed the harder it became for him. He ten decided to take breaks in between by resting in the huge branches of the tree .

After a few hours of climbing mike then discovered a plain space on the tree which was enough for him to build an house on.

But mike decided to leave that for later as he had to climb the tree.

After a few hours mike was able to get to too top of the tree.

" Unbelievable " these were the only word ls that came out of Mike's mouth as he was too stuned to speak.
