It had been almost a month since Alina had started her life in the camp without a name.
The people she lived with had become like family to her, and now everyone was waiting for the birth of her baby with great excitement. They had prepared everything they needed - medication, facilities, support. That night, when Alina was to give birth, the sky was clear, and far away in space, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, TON618 himself was watching this event. He saw everything and realized that this moment was the beginning of something bigger.
- Everything will be fine, - the people who were now her family encouraged her. Alina believed that her baby would be special, for it seemed that the power within her had always supported and protected her.
TON618 at this time was helping his macroparticle create a symbiosis that could merge a human body with his absolute essence. He needed a body that, though mortal, would have immortal strength and the ability to regenerate infinitely. This body was designed from birth to interact with neons, as TON618 generated them like an endless engine, filling every cell with its light and energy. This inexhaustible flow of neons gave it unique properties that provided it with the ability to regenerate and limitless power. This made him not just a creature, but a living embodiment of the energy potential of the universe. Each cell of his body he created from his own neons that had no analogues, endowing them with special properties that allowed him to interact with the world around him on a level unavailable to ordinary beings. Over time, these cells took on a gray hue, and eventually the blood that flowed in his veins also turned gray, reflecting the invisible power that lived within him.
When Alina gave birth to her son, an amazing event occurred.
The moment his body first came into the world, it was as if the entire galaxy froze for one brief second. The movement of stars and planets suddenly stopped, though no living thing noticed it. The space around seemed to have no right to move without permission. The stars shining in the sky vibrated faintly, reacting to the birth of a being that seemed inscrutable, as if it should not exist in the form of a human. In distant space, in neighboring galaxies, several of the universe's most advanced beings, who also sought to take possession of planet Earth FX12, sensed the event. For a moment they stopped their thoughts and actions, realizing that something new and unusual had appeared, something that did not fall under the usual laws of the universe. It was a sensation that sent a thrill through their hearts - a fear of the unknown. They felt the appearance of something new, something that did not conform to the laws of the universe.
These beings, who had never felt fear before, suddenly experienced an unknown feeling. It was a deep anxiety and uneasiness, as if the whole universe was warning them of danger. Even their advanced intuition could not determine where this power appeared, but its influence could be felt at incredible distances. Their hearts, which knew no weakness, clenched with fear when they realized that a being had been born that could change everything. They immediately tried to search for the source of this new power, but it turned out to be impossible to locate. But the fear that had settled in the hearts of these creatures did not disappear - they realized for the first time that there was someone in the universe who could change the course of everything, and this thought did not give them rest.
Immediately after the birth of the child, a gray aura enveloped the group of people who met him. This unusual light enveloped them, filling them with incredible energy. The very essence of life seemed to overflow into them. Everyone felt their bodies fill with power - wounds that had been untreatable began to heal before their eyes. People felt their youth returning to them and filling their hearts with joy and hope again. Some who had lost limbs in battles suddenly felt new limbs appearing in place of the old ones, restoring the integrity of the body.
- Aaaaah !!! - There was a shout of delight, but along with it came panic. People automatically rushed to their weapons, their hearts beating faster with surprise. The scream came from the tent where those who were on the verge of death were lying.
- Did those who were dying also recover ? - the people thought. When they entered the tent, the scene before them was frozen in horrified amazement. People who had already died but had not yet been buried had risen from their final resting places. They stood surrounded by a gray aura, the glow of which reminded them of something unseen and amazing. Many of them could not believe their eyes - their faces glowed as if they were young, and the wounds that had once reminded them of incurable diseases had disappeared as if they had never existed. This was the rebirth, the new beginning that Zero had brought. Subsequently, people began to celebrate this event as 'The Day of Beginnings.'
The child did not cry or laugh. He watched the world and his mother carefully.
- He is definitely special, - people said. - Doesn't cry and doesn't laugh, it's strange ...
Alina only silently looked into his gray eyes, in which you could see the salad dots. They mesmerized her, giving her an unusual calmness and strength at the same time. The gray aura that thinly covered his body protected the entire area, giving her a feeling of absolute safety. At the same time, animals that were advanced enough, and had a sense of death that they could see this aura, sensed absolute danger, ran away, saving their lives.
- What's his name ? What do we call the one who gave us a second life ? - the villagers asked.
Alina thought about the name for a long time, and when she raised her eyes to the sky, TON618 forced the stars and planets to form the symbol of zero with her mind. Alina smiled as she realized that her child would not be ordinary.
- His name is Zero ! - she said. - All my life I have had nothing. No friends, no relatives. Zero would signify the beginning of something new.
At the moment of birth, when there was a massive burst of energy, Zero was instantly able to take control of that energy. It was all he had the strength for at that moment, for he had already begun to analyze the world around him, his body and the processes of its formation, realizing that his earthly body could not withstand its power.
This decision became extremely important to him. He realized that excessive power could not only destroy his physical body, but also cause unwanted attention from other beings in the universe. Thus, Zero deliberately chose the path of anonymity and protection. His power remained sealed until his body was prepared to withstand even 0.1% of his true energy ...
- Mom ... - Zero spoke softly but confidently, and those words filled the space around them with incredible energy. The moment the child uttered that word, everyone present froze in shock.
How could it be that a baby who had just been born already had the ability to speak ?
Alina's eyes widened in surprise and her heart filled with warmth. She looked at her son who, despite having just been born, was already able to speak. There was an indescribable wisdom and calmness in his voice that amazed everyone around him. Babies usually scream or cry, but he seemed to be simply expressing his presence, his feelings for his mother.
The people around them began to whisper amongst themselves, trying to figure out what was going on. Some felt a chill run down their backs again, for what they were witnessing looked like something supernatural. Despite all the incredible events that had already happened, they couldn't help but wonder. In front of them stood not just a baby; it was a creature that violated all the laws of nature known to them.
Alina, still holding her son in her arms, smiled and said:
- Yes, I'm here. You are finally with me.
At that moment, everyone realized that something unique had appeared, something that could change not only their lives, but the very essence of their existence. The gray aura that surrounded the child began to glow even brighter, filling the space with a sense of safety and hope. Everyone around them felt that this moment was not just a birth, but the beginning of a new era where their wildest dreams and hopes could be realized.
[Dictionary Zero]
Beginning Day is a holiday celebrated by the campers when an incredible miracle occurred during Zero's birth. People who were on the verge of life and death were healed, and even those who were dead came back to life. This day symbolizes a new beginning for all who were present at his birth.
The gray aura is a rare phenomenon that appeared during Zero's birth. In the universe, different neons have different colors, each corresponding to specific types of energy or forces. The grey aura has never existed before and symbolizes the combination of all colors. This means that Zero possesses the very essence of neon, which encompasses all known energies, making it a power greater than any other form of neon.
The sense of death is a special state, similar to intuition, that occurs in an individual who has survived numerous battles on the brink of life and death. This feeling allows him to recognize life-threatening danger at certain moments. It is based on experience and sensitivity to the neons and energies of those around him, which allows him to anticipate dangerous situations even if they have not yet become apparent.
