"The moment these bombs are discovered," he warned, "you and your families will become targets of relentless pursuit. The Kingdom will not hesitate to make an example of you, sending a chilling message that such acts of defiance will not be tolerated." The leader continued, "It's pointless trying to use force or threats as that would only make the Royals deal with us to avoid their authority being questioned." He paused, letting his words sink in. "The only way forward is to get the support of someone…-

Somwhere in Kamer Kingdom. A meeting of six prominent individuals unfolded within the grand walls of a lavishly decorated chamber. The room was adorned with exquisite tapestries depicting scenes of valor and triumph, their intricate designs woven with silken threads that shimmered under the soft glow of crystal chandeliers. Thick rugs, imported from distant lands, muffled the sound of footsteps as the six individuals, each possessing a physique that bore the marks of a life of indulgence, settled into…

Kamer Kingdom, Capital A young man named Ferran, no older than twelve, moved with a confidence that belied his age. His footsteps echoed through the grand hallways of his mansion, a carefree tune humming on his lips, reflecting the lightness of his heart. He passed by two maids, their faces breaking into amused smiles as the sound of his humming reached them. "Good morning, young master," they chorused, their voices laced with a hint of playful reverence. "Good morning," he replied, his smile as…

"Destitute?" Elian echoed, taken aback. Did this imply that the awakening came with a hefty price tag? 'Well, that'd be par for the course,' Elian mused. It seemed improbable that the universe safeguards would be so easily circumvented. Perhaps the materials required for the awakening were exceedingly rare and valuable. He contemplated mentioning his family's wealth but reconsidered, standing before someone he suspected of near-omniscience who likely factored in Thorne's wealth. Regardless, he needed to…

"Do you really think I summoned you just to convey that? You're quite naive. I have better things to do than summon you for just a few words. The only thing the soul mutation did was force me to summon you earlier than planned," Ark said Elian, lost in his thoughts, didn't even acknowledge Ark's words. Despite facing Ark, his distant expression hinted at his mind being elsewhere. Ark picked up on Elian's state, delving into his thoughts out of curiosity, only to realize his misstep. 'How could I…

"Becau-"Elian wanted to justify but stopped because he realized the problem. Yes why couldn't he? After all, El manipulates lightning with the exact same body. Also Elian is still waiting for his mana veins to mature before knowing his elemental affinity and yet El, with the same unmatured mana veins can already wield lightning. How?! Both questions posed couldn't be adequately addressed by DID alone. From a medical standpoint, DID involves the brain reorganizing itself through alterations in neural…

"Hear me, young one. El is an oddity, a deviation from the natural order, and your presence here is guided by my knowledge to assist you through it. Before you make a fuss, understand this: if the current state of affairs persists, both you and El are destined for a departure from this world in the not-so-distant future." Upon hearing this revelation, Elian found himself in a state of bewilderment, his eyes widened, fixed on Ark, unsure of how to respond. If anyone else had uttered such words, Elian…

"Regarding the location," the being continued, its measured and thoughtful tone resonating with ancient wisdom. "It's a challenge to describe because this place defies fixed coordinates in space. It exists outside the constraints of specific cosmic points. Unfortunately, I cannot provide precise coordinates. Yet, I sense your true inquiry is, 'What is this place?'" Elian's eyes widened with anticipation as he eagerly nodded in agreement. The initial response had already left him in a state of…

Elian grappled with the heightened risk of sustaining brain damage due to mental energy depletion. The potential consequences, such as significant cognitive and emotional impairment, often referred to as 'insanity,' loomed ominously. The hallucinations arising from such impairment seemed like plausible explanations for the surreal experiences he was encountering. Yet, Elian swiftly dismissed this notion, his instincts asserting that this place was not a figment of his imagination. From his vantage point,…

Fainting, medically referred to as syncope, serves as a built-in defense mechanism. It activates in response to a sudden drop in blood pressure or insufficient blood supply to the brain. When the brain detects this critical reduction in blood and oxygen, it temporarily suspends consciousness to prioritize blood flow to vital organs, particularly the brain. This protective response minimizes potential harm by causing the individual to collapse, allowing blood to circulate more effectively against gravity…
