Chapter.1: New beginning

It was quiet nightfall, on a sandy hill a humanoid male person, was knocked out unconscious in the centre of it. With only one eye opened he could barely make out his surrounding and situation. The humanoid was completely covered in sand. While he could only barely open his mouth and breath air, it was filled with sand in his throat. While he tries to speak his mind became hazy and his sight became blurry. While his consciousness fades in and out as he could only muster the strength to cough up some of the sand, his face was half buried and only one of his eyes open as his consciousness faded out again.

"DON'T DIE ON ME!" :(A female toned voice was heard in his head as it faded into darkness)

"HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISEING TO ME!" :(The female toned voice was heard again, but this time he was able to slightly move his mouth)

"Hey, are you still with me." :(The female toned voice could be heard in his mind)

The Humanoid person was able to get conscious again and could only make a few muffled sounds while having a hard time to even move a finger. What could see is small, blue-skinned woman with long black hair and dark eyes, Fairy entity. As the Fairy looked surprised after the attempts it had made.

"Ah! You are alive." :(The Fairy entity said with a relieved tone)

"I thought you were a goner." :(The Fairy entity said as he was able to finally make out what she was saying)

"Thanks for saving me." :(The Humanoid Person said while coughing out sand)

"Are you alright? How do you feel?" :(The Fairy entity asked)

"My whole body feels weak." :(The Humanoid Person answered)

"Here, eat this, it will make you feel better." :(The Fairy entity offered food)

"How did you get here and end up like this?" :(The Fairy entity asked as it had a confused look)

"I have no clue." :(The Humanoid Person replied with a confused expression)

"Huh?" :(The Fairy entity stared blankly)

*The humanoid person drew on the sand based on his memories what could had happened*

"So, you are trying to tell me, that a wall crushed you." :(The Fairy entity said)

"Yep, exactly I did not see it coming, as I crushed flat like a pancake." :(The Humanoid Person replied)

"So, you fell here in the desert from other world." :(The Fairy entity said)

"Not exactly felled here, I felt I was left behind by someone, without you I would have died." :(The Humanoid Person replied)

"Aside from that, your clothing's do not seem native to this world it seems, what a cruel world that young boy like you have go through, tell me your name, what is it?" :(The Fairy entity said)

"Anyways if you want to know my name, it's Celli the best guide around these parts and who are you?" :(The Fairy entity asked him)

"Uhmmm my name, it's Aiden Ashwell." :(The Humanoid Person said)

"Aiden. Ashwell does not sound like a local name to me, I would just simply refer you as the outsider, something does not sound right how did a wall collapsed on you?" :(Celli said)

"I only remember being crushed by a collapsing wall during an earthquake, I died in that earthquake as the building fell apart." :(Aiden. Ashwell recalled about what had happened in the past before his death)

*After saying that Aiden. Ashwell started having flash backs of his life were collecting old memories that has been suppressed during his childhood with one dream of his showing inside of one the class rooms of a school building.*

"Aiden pay attention to the board." :(A teacher was scolding the 10-year-old Aiden. Ashwell)

"You have to focus on the task at hand, otherwise you'll never learn." :(The Teacher told the young boy)

[Wait, I barely even remember what school I went to. And how do I have the memories of my childhood? This makes no sense.] :(Aiden. Ashwell was questioning his own mind)

"Sorry miss Peach." :(The young Aiden. Ashwell responded)

"Well, it's alright. Just remember to focus on the task at hand. Now, let's continue with the lesson." :(Miss Peach said to the young Aiden. Ashwell)

"Yes, miss Peach." :(The young Aiden. Ashwell simply agreed and continued his work)

*The dream continued on but for the worse, the young Aiden. Ashwell had an encounter with his younger brother*

"You will never understand my pain. My sorrow. My suffering." :(Younger Brother said)

"I will always be there for you, no matter what. You are my brother." :(The young Aiden. Ashwell, tried to reason with his younger brother)

[Wait who is that in the distance, I never remember seeing that person in distance.] :(Aiden. Ashwell talked in his mind as he saw someone was looking at his younger self and brother)

"Are those bullies are picking on you again buddy?" :(The young Aiden. Ashwell asked his younger brother, as his younger brother nodded in agreement)

"Don't worry I will be here to help you." :(The young Aiden. Ashwell encouraged his younger brother)

"Thanks, big bro, I know I can always count on you." :(Younger brother replied to the young Aiden. Ashwell)

*The dream ends with an image of a younger sister and her friends, and then fades away, but that was start of something that went downhill fast, with the next dream showing the house he was in before his death.*

"EVERYONE STAY CALM!" :(Aiden. Ashwell's mother shouted)

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" :(Aiden. Ashwell's father demanded)

"It's the earthquake!" :(Aiden. Ashwell's grandmother screamed)

"OH GOD NO, WHAT DO WE DO?!" :(Aiden. Ashwell's grandfather said)

"STAY INSIDE, AND TAKE COVER!" :(Aiden. Ashwell's great-grandfather yelled)

"Brother look out!" :(Laura. Ashwell shouted)

*In blink of a second the wall behind Aiden. Ashwell collapsed which buried Aiden. Ashwell. It happened so fast. He tried to reach out his hand for his younger sister, but it was too late. Laura. Ashwell was crushed under the rubble, and Aiden. Ashwell's mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, and great-grandfather were killed by the collapsing walls.*

"Outsider, are you there?" :(A voice echoed but it sounded familiar)

Aiden. Ashwell finally snapped back to reality after seeing through his memories. Aiden. Ashwell had tears down his face, and he was crying.

"Why you crying Outsider?" :(Celli asked)

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." :(Aiden. Ashwell told Celli)

"Are you sure?" :(Celli asked)

"I guess you want some information about where you are currently. So, here's some basic information, you are currently on a planet named Adorila. A world of which there is only 8 elements, and this planet is governed by 8 divine Gods and Goddess or simply refereed as the Eight Divines." :(Celli told Aiden. Ashwell the basics)

[Wait a minute, I heard a game that had the Eight Divines it was called Abyssal Throne. Is there any chance I had reincarnated in a fictional game as a fictional character from said game?] :(Aiden thought as his mind became clearer while his head hurt a little)

[Why can't remember much from my life. Am I really an Outsider. No. I cannot be the Outsider from Abyssal Throne. I would have more powers and have the title of Starlight Blazer.] :(Aiden. Ashwell was in deep thought trying to think)

"You seem to be in deep thought Outsider, anything bothering you?" :(Celli asked)

"What would you do if you were given the powers and titles from Eight Divines and their realm. Would you accept such power or reject such a thing?" :(Aiden. Ashwell questioned Celli)

"That's a very interesting question. I am not sure, I am just a fairy who has lived in a world without magic, and this world is completely new to me also, even though I am a fairy." :(Celli answered)

"But I know the basics." :(Celli commented while reading through a tiny book she carries)

"So, we both are in same boat, in a foreign world without answers." :(Aiden. Ashwell noted)

"I can't defend myself Outsider, I am relaying on you to protect me from threats. So please take care of me." :(Celli said)

"I am not your owner Celli, but we are both in the same boat, I am relaying on your advice and help also." :(Aiden. Ashwell responded)

"We should get on the move on, before the heat claims us like it claimed others." :(Aiden. Ashwell advised Celli)

"But we do not have food and water. We will die if we do not get some soon." :(Celli said)

The pair both agreed that their journey was only begging, through a world foreign to them. Their main objective is survival, as the scorching sun take a toll on the both outsiders, and the harsh sandstorms threaten their very existence. The duo continued walking through the desert, searching for shelter. Through hours of searching they encountered a cave entrance, Aiden. Ashwell took the lead. Celli followed suit. As they ventured further into the cave, the air grew cooler and the light began to fade. Aiden. Ashwell and Celli kept a steady pace, avoiding traps and other dangers.

"This cave would be a base of our operations, for a while." :(Aiden. Ashwell announced)

"I am relaying on you. So, try not to die, otherwise, I'll die as well." :(Celli said)

"AHHHHH A DEAD PERSON!" :(Celli screamed as she floated right behind Aiden. Ashwell in fright of a dead person)

"It seems we not the only ones set up base here, but unfortunately they expired by the challenges presented to them. We have to be careful not to become another number." :(Aiden. Ashwell warned as Celli)

"You mean, you want us to die here." :(Celli assumed)

"No, not exactly, just not let our guard down." :(Aiden. Ashwell disagreed)

"Whoever sword is that, I am now repurposing it as my own. You will call me, the Starlight Blazer, or the Wrath of Nova Blade." :(Aiden. Ashwell made up the title and name)

"That sounds like a mouth full." :(Celli replied)

"I am the Starlight Blazer. I was bestowed the Light Goddesses power, to defeat the Darkness, and restore balance to the world." :(Aiden. Ashwell claimed his title as some his memories was regained)

"Outsider stop saying things that makes no sense, what the hell is the goddess of light, or what darkness. If I don't understand what you are saying." :(Celli told Aiden)

"My apologies, my ego caught up to me. Our objectives are to find food and water, we already founded shelter in form of this cave. So, it's a matter of time for we die from dehydration or starvation." :(Aiden. Ashwell noted)

"So, your plan is to just sit here and die, I think you are underestimating me and yourself." :(Celli said)

"You misread me Celli, our plan is to find water and food, I was thinking of taking a quick rest, and then we go on our way to find resources." :(Aiden. Ashwell answered)

"Well, let's do it. I can't wait to eat something." :(Celli cheered)

"Sit here Celli, I will explore deeper in this cave to find something that be beneficial for us, or even something we can use." :(Aiden. Ashwell asked Celli)

"Okay, but if I die here, I'll haunt you forever." :(Celli joked)

"Yeah, whatever. Just sit here and stay safe." :(Aiden. Ashwell ordered)

Aiden. Ashwell began a tread through the cave to find something of value as deeper he goes the more value, he would find but that just a theory. He continued his trek through the dark, damp cave until he found what seems look like an object shaped like a star beside a skeleton. He decided to carry it with him, unknown to him it was item that holds immense power, as he walked and climbed deeper in the cave, he could hear noises that not pleasant hear. To describe such sounds it might be screams, roars and death, such noises can send shivers down your spine, but this place is not home, it's a dangerous and unknown world. Aiden. Ashwell continued deeper until he reached a chamber where with a gate facing towards where Aiden. Ashwell came from. What was unknown to him is what the gate's purpose is, all he knows it not good news, he could see countless of skeletons surrounding the gate with their weapons, armor and books.

[This starting creep me out, I wonder if there's anyone or something inside of that gate.] :(Aiden. Ashwell thought out)

*Aiden. Ashwell walked to the gate to see anything in it, unfortunately no he only sees the other side of the chamber, it almost the gate itself does not have another side to it, as he walked through it only from him stay where was previously, he concluded the gate itself is a portal device rather than a normal gate.*

[What is this gate called, I seen on these gates in the same game before, it acted like a rift gate that channeled energy from God knows where.] :(Aiden. Ashwell was thinking, as he saw the gate itself was glowing and active)

[That is not good news!] :(Aiden. Ashwell was quite surprised that gate was still active, he raised his sword in the air in a defensive stance, ready to strike down anything come from the gate he now facing towards)

*In spilt of second countless monsters came charging out the rift gate, several of them charged towards Aiden. Ashwell, Aiden. Ashwell was able to cut them down, but he was unable to keep up with the overwhelming numbers. Until there was silence the ground was littered with corpses of monsters that came from the gate, until the rift gate that Aiden. Ashwell calls as it started challenging something massive.*

"That is not good news, I better prepare myself." :(Aiden. Ashwell talked to himself)

"OUTSIDER GET AWAY FROM THAT GATE!" :(Celli screamed from distance)

"OH SHIT, THIS IS BAD!" :(Aiden. Ashwell was startled by Celli voice)

*Loud static sound was heard from the rift gate but was shortly followed with portal opening up in above of them, after that a large entity appeared from it, it hit the ground like a large crash, dust was kicked up everywhere blinding most people. Unknown to Aiden. Ashwell the star object he picked up started to glow brightly.*

"Fear me mortals, for I am the gardener of the flesh the only Achlion. FALSE BLEAVIERS SHALL FALL FROM MY WRATH!" :(The Large entity named Achlion or the Flesh Gardener boomed with a loud and evil voice)

"Outsider we don't know who Achlion is but he is not friendly or messed with." :(Celli warned Aiden)

"Who the hell is Achlion?" :(Aiden. Ashwell yelled confused)

"ENOUGH TALKING, FACE ME YOU MORTALS!" :(Achlion screamed like banshee, while making a disgusting sound of flesh being ripped apart)

The Flesh Gardener named Achlion strike down his scythe down towards Aiden. Ashwell and Celli. The pair were barely able dodge the strike but the scythe manage to scrape and scratch Aiden. Ashwell.

"FIGHT ME YOU PATHETIC INSECT!" :(Achlion roared like an angry beast)

"You should run, while I buy you some time, I cannot keep up with this monster." :(Aiden. Ashwell said as he was getting up and ready for another round with Achlion)

"But. You. Will. Die." :(Celli responded with concern)

"Better me than the both of us." :(Aiden. Ashwell replied)

Aiden. Ashwell charged at Achlion ready to fight to the death, as he moved around voiding being struck down by the scythe of Achlion, Aiden. Ashwell was unable to keep up with the Flesh Gardener's ridiculous speed, as it's scythe nearly struck Aiden's torso but he managed parried it with his sword.

"USER OF THE FALSE GODDESS WILL BE STRUCK DOWN BY MINE WRATH, IN THE NAME OF THE GRAND MOTHER'S VENGEANCE." :(Achlion said in a demonic tone)

"Celli do you have any idea what he saying." :(Aiden. Ashwell asked the guide fairy)

"I am not sure, but whatever he saying, is not good." :(Celli said)

"I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU HAVE CARED IN THE NAME OF GRAND MOTHER!" :(Achlion shouted in demonic voice)

*As the fight continued, the scythe of the Flesh Gardener was knocked away from him, it fell and stuck in the ground. Aiden. Ashwell used this chance and grabbed the scythe, and was ready to finish the fight, but he was grabbed out of thin air by the Flesh Gardener and slammed right into the ground.*

"OUTSIDER!" :(Celli screamed as she could only watch in horror)

"This is it." :(Aiden. Ashwell told Celli)

"NO, PLEASE! THIS CANNOT BE!" :(Celli was begging and crying as she tried to reach Aiden. Ashwell)

"This is not how I wanted my life to end." :(Aiden. Ashwell thought to himself)

"DIE PATHETIC MORTAL." :(Achlion mocked the outsider)

*As the scythe was swung towards Aiden. Ashwell, he dodged the attack just narrowly as the scythe barely hit his torso, and the force behind the scythe's swing threw Aiden. Ashwell flying through the chamber, he crashed on the other side, but still managed to get back up despite his injuries, the star object was still glowing and shining brightly.*

"LET THE SEA BOIL, DARKNESS CONSUME THE LIGHT, I WILL KILL ALL BELIVERS OF THE EIGHT DIVINES!" :(Achlion charged towards Aiden. Ashwell)

[Damn it, if only I had my abilities, I would not have to struggle, like a fool.] :(Aiden. Ashwell thought in his mind, as he was getting tired, as he could barely see anything from his dazed eyesight, he was bleeding badly from his torso)

"I can't lose to you, even if it means to sacrifice myself. I am not giving up!" :(Aiden. Ashwell told the Flesh Gardener)

"You have lost the fight, your blood has been spilled, your efforts would be all for nothing." :(Achlion boomed, as he raised his scythe, preparing to finish the Outsider)

*Just at that movement the star like object Aiden. Ashwell was carrying glowed with intense light; it flew from his hand into his sword almost it combined with the sword to make a Light Blade.*

"Finish what you started, may the light be your weapon, your shield, shall the darkness be banished." :(A divine voice was calling out to Aiden. Ashwell)

"What the hell is this? Why did the star object merged with my sword, why it feels like I'm the wielder of Starlight Blade. How? Why?" :(Aiden. Ashwell thought out)

*In a split second, the scythe was swung towards the Outsider, who blocked the attack with his blade, creating a massive shockwave, dust was kicked up everywhere blinding most people. Unknown the Flesh Gardener's scythe was knocked away from him, Achlion roared with frustration*

"What are you, WEILDER OF THE FALSE GODDESS, YOUR PRAYERS MEAN NOTHING!" :(Achlion shouted loudly, with a hint of frustration and anger)

"I AM THE SWORD, OF THE RIGHTEOUS GODDESS!" :(Aiden. Ashwell shouted like he being controlled by someone)

[WHAT THE HELL I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY BODY, SOMEONE CONTROLLING ME!] :(Aiden. Ashwell panicked inside his own thoughts)

"I am the light that banishes darkness!" :(Aiden. Ashwell shouted and stabbed right through Achlion's gut with the Starlight blade)

"YOU HAVE BEATEN ME FOR NOW LITTLE MORTAL, BUT THE CAUSE I FIGHT IS ETERNAL, I SHALL SEE THE WORLD BURN WITH DARKNESS AND DEVESATION!" :(Achlion shouted as his body glowed with immense energy, the light was so bright that Aiden. Ashwell and Celli had to shield their eyes, the next moment the large monster was no longer there)

Aiden. Ashwell on the other hand had instantly collapsed on the floor of the chamber, as he lay their bleeding injured, Celli rushed towards him, she began to panic.

"No, no, no, no, this can't be." :(Celli cried, while she tried to help the Outsider)

"OUTSIDER, ARE YOU HURT?" :(Celli asked the Outsider)

"That just great he passed out. What should I do, I don't know any medical practices. I don't want to die, I can't die, not here, not now. Outsider, please wake up." :(Celli panicked)

The light of the cave entrance started to fade away as the glimmer of light of a moon appeared overhead. The cave is quiet, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the dead trees, suddenly, a light appeared, illuminating the entrance to the cave. The light is from a small light torch, what left of Aiden. Ashwell's expedition in the cave had become a living nightmare. Deep in his mind after his collapse he could hear voices of divine and unknown origins.

"I look up to the stars for answers they say let me pick, to choose any hero I wanted from another world." :(A Dream voice said, it sounded like it was divine)

"The power of the Abyss grows every day while my power weakens after a fatal blow, I can no longer protect my people while continuing my creator's work. I wish to call upon an otherworldly being who is a hero, the hero must be smart, caring and capable to face the challenges presented to them." :(The Dream voice said, it sounded like the goddess of something)

"But all my cries for help were not responded by anyone, all I could do is wait and hope for the best." :(The Dream voice said, it now sounded depressed)

"The situation got so dire that I have lower my age expectations to 14, and I did not get any response." :(The Dream voice said, it sounded a little happy, but then a little sad again)

"So, I went on the hunt for the perfect candidate to solve, the problems that was caused by my actions or happened on their own, it will be up to you to choose." :(The Dream voice said, it sounded hopeful)

"Not in a thousand of millennia's I had to resort to desperate measures, my inquisition was only a bandage to cover up a problem it got so dire that I had resort to other measures. May the hero or Outsider form other world forgive my measures and my sins." :(The Dream voice said, it had a sense of regret and sadness in their voice)

"OUTSIDER PLEASE WAKE UP!" :(A voice that sounded familiar)

Aiden. Ashwell coughed out some blood as he stared with his heavy eyes towards Celli, he was very weak to move any body part.

"OUTSIDER, ARE YOU OKAY?" :(Celli said worriedly, she was trying find a way to heal him, but she felt powerless to help)

"Celli...I am okay." :(Aiden. Ashwell said with a weak smile)

"You are not okay; you have a serious wound on your chest. THAT BLOODY DEMON HURTED YOU SO HARD." :(Celli said while holding a plant and a towel)

"I had to drag by your finger to move you up here, it wasn't easy you are so heavy to move." :(Celli said with a smile)

"Hehe, sorry about that." :(Aiden. Ashwell apologized weakly)

"Where did you get that towel from?" :(Aiden. Ashwell wondered why would she have a towel in a cave, it seems weird.)

"Well, I founded it at nearby town which it is lifeless." :(Celli said sadly and quietly)

"Lifeless, you mean like there is no people there anymore." :(Aiden. Ashwell said shocked and afraid of what she is saying, it seems like he is the only one alive, not just Celli)

"Yes." :(Celli said sadly and quietly once again)

Aiden. Ashwell was shocked at her answer, and his heart dropped, but he was not going to give up.

"Celli, do you have anything that can close this wound on me." :(Aiden. Ashwell pointed at a bleeding wound that is still active)

"No, this towel might close your wound temporarily, but I need to find you something else to use." :(Celli looked a bit nervous and anxious)

As Celli floats down towards Aiden. Ashwell's chest and wrapping a towel around it. She then floats away and starts searching for a what could be described as an herb of something, while Aiden. Ashwell was panting very heavily as his earlier encounter with a demon was not very good, even though he used a new power that came out of nowhere.

[If I am that reckless, I will no longer with this world.] :(Aiden. Ashwell thought when considering his actions previously that almost got him killed)

[I wonder where did Celli come from, she did not explain it to me completely before, perhaps she is trying to make me stable while injured me or the world is in danger?] :(Aiden. Ashwell thought while noticed something weird Celli is trying to hide)

[I don't remember what the voice in dream said but, someone was looking for a hero, I intend to find out the truth and mysteries of this world.] :(Aiden. Ashwell wanted more insight into why was he summoned in this world)

[Is there any chance that one my family members have been summoned here also, but where would they be now, they could not have disappeared and be gone, wait if I had a new body, could they have gotten one also.] :(Aiden. Ashwell had wide look out at the night sky)

*As Aiden. Ashwell uses his hands feel his body for any strange thing, but he felt a burn mark on his right arm, as soon he touched his right arm he felt a burning pain, as he moved his right sleeve that was covering it. He saw a strange mark that was shaped like a star with sword in the middle.*

[Was this mark here before I encountered the demon that almost claimed my life. I needed to speak to Celli and find out about what happened between there and the mark appears or here?] :(Aiden. Ashwell think positively and goof about it)

[Is the mark related to the star shaped object I am been carrying around this whole time?] :(Aiden. Ashwell had thought trying figured out where did that mark come from)

Aiden. Ashwell moved the star shaped object he is been carrying towards the burn mark on his right arm, to no one surprise it glowed with intense light which confirmed his idea.

[Is this star shaped object an elemental vision that houses great amount of power, every time I hold it in my hand it always glows?] :(Aiden. Ashwell thought and inspected what could be the truth)

[Since the blade I carried previously before it disappeared was like made of light, does this means this burn mark and the star shaped object means I am a light user.] :(Aiden. Ashwell was in deep thought trying figure out the correlation in his mind)

Aiden. Ashwell felt he figured out something, as he places the star shape object in one his pockets and covered up the burn mark with the right sleeve of his shirt. As he waits patiently for Celli to return back, with the information he learnt, he concluded that he is in the realm of Light that is only known as Realm of Chonituary.

[I must grow stronger if I want to survive, I remember that realm of Chonituary is the hardest realm of all. Only a few survive the harsh nature of its extreme heat and sun.] :(Aiden. Ashwell was thinking of if the information he remembers, is true to reality)

"Are done being in deep thought Outsider." :(Celli said as she returned much earlier than expected)

"Yes, I found some information about myself Celli." :(Aiden. Ashwell was telling truth)

"Eat this herb or I will shove it right in your mouth like that demon made a wound on your chest." :(Celli said warning him)

*Aiden. Ashwell without a second thought shoved it inside his mouth and it did not have very good taste to his expectations and did not chew it.*

"This cave is not good idea to stay at, we should head for the lifeless town." :(Celli told him while floating above his head)

"Why there?" :(Aiden. Ashwell felt, stupid and felt embarrassed by asking that)

"We can stay at a house of the lifeless town that could have some resources or clues about world we are in. Also, we can collect water and any types of medicine in these sorts of places. Can you still walk or I will pull your big fingers Outsider?" :(Celli is holding a leaf bottle with some herbs)

"Hmmm, I should be fine, but please ask before you pull my fingers." :(Aiden. Ashwell groaned slightly)

"HOW COULD I ASK YOU WHEN YOU COLLAPSED LIKE THE WALL KILLED YOU DEAD!" :(Celli shouted)

"I am only joking around." :(Aiden. Ashwell joked lightly)

"Tomorrow we are leaving this cave and heading for the lifeless town, where we can find out more on where are and start an adventure together." :(Celli sounded unsure what in store for them)

They both slept that night which passed without incident. The following morning, they set off to explore their surroundings; after wandering aimlessly for some time, they stumble upon the lifeless town that seems to be abandoned a hundred years ago. They wander around the town, finding only remnants of what once was a thriving community. As they explore, they discover a statue depicting a goddess that held her blade so high in the sky. But something is off that star shaped object, Aiden. Ashwell had started glowing violently, and his hand was starting to feel weird.

[Now my star shaped vision object is glowing in the mere sight of the statue, which confirms this statue is related to the burn mark on my right arm, and this star shaped object. I have been carrying around, not to mention the sword I carried also disappeared after I had collapsed.] :(Aiden. Ashwell was analysing the behaviour of vision that was in his pockets)

"I can't wait to lay flat on a smooth bed, the hard surface of the cave was so uncomfortable. IT HURT SO MUCH MY ARMS." :(Celli yawned and stretched her body)

"This only opportunity to get supplies and rest, no one seems to live here anymore, besides we should take a break after everything we went through yesterday." :(Aiden. Ashwell looked around at empty street and told Celli who was flying beside him)

"Everything we went through; no, it was your own stupidity that got us in that situation where we had a tough time escaping." :(Celli seemed annoyed by his stupidity)

"Right, sorry about that, I'm just...new to all this." :(Aiden. Ashwell tries to form proper sentence)

"It is all good, let's focus on finding a place to sleep, and I want eat something very soon, I feel so hungry right now." :(Celli moaned as she was stretching herself)

As Celli floating around going through window and window of the abandoned buildings, Aiden. Ashwell was walking through the town thinking what happened here, it feels empty in his mind. But his mind was chaotic and empty at same time, why was he summoned in this world without an answer, the threat he faced day ago the Flesh Gardener, does it have a clue for his answers.

[How many days was I laying on the sand, why can't I remember anything with it being hazy without clarification, why can I only remember things with clarification and related. All I want is the truth of my origins in this world I have awoken up into, this is far beyond this whole reincarnation business.] :(Aiden. Ashwell been questioning the truth that was being presented to him)

[All I knew is now meaningless, have I reincarnated in the modified version of the game I like playing, but I sense it's getting different now. Why was a great demon summoned in the first rift gate I encountered.] :(Aiden. Ashwell started at gloomily, and he had no intention to rush)

*As Aiden. Ashwell continued to wonder the now empty pathways through the lifeless town, as he was searching for clues with in the town. Until he heard a loud crack in the air followed by an arrow striking and shattered on the stone path right front of him.*

"WHO IS THERE!" :(Aiden. Ashwell shouted as he taken up a defensive posture ready fight, he imagined the word engage)

*Aiden. Ashwell's star like object vision started glowing until it faded after few seconds, but in his right hand was a sword that appeared out of nowhere.*

"HEY YOU STOP THERE!" :(Mysterious female toned voice said)

Aiden. Ashwell looked up to see a girl jumped in the air with a leather vest, baggy pants with a belt, a red cloak, and red boots, she has a red hood that covers her head. Then a loud clang as the girl landed on her feet right in front of Aiden. Ashwell.

"May the light goddess protect you stranger, I Aurelia. Wood ranger of the Wood family, you don't look like citizen of Olisville or even people of this realm explain yourself." :(Aurelia. Wood greeted herself in an awkward tone while holding her bow and aimed at Aiden. Ashwell)

"Says to the one that acts like a stalker. How long were you watching me." :(Aiden. Ashwell replied lightly while feeling scared of getting a sharp arrow in him)

"Y... You are a ruffian; I listen through the wind you and your companion dared to travel to my own home town that was left behind by everyone else." :(Aurelia. Wood said while aiming her arrows from the bow squarely at Aiden. Ashwell's grey eyes)

"Ruffian what does that even mean, my companion said this town was lifeless that no one was living here. Besides we just arrived not much recently, when did you returned." :(Aiden. Ashwell asked feeling flabbergasted and scared by an arrow)

"I did not return, I was living here idiot; your companion was wrong when I was hunting, that big fairy did not expect me to be here." :(Aurelia. Wood replied immediately after Aiden. Ashwell had finished his sentence)

"OUTSIDER what did you get yourself into this time!" :(Celli shouted as she floated down towards Aiden. Ashwell's head height)

"Two Idiots travelled to my home town searching for something, perhaps they wanted Stellar coins?" :(Aurelia. Wood guessed while analysing Aiden. Ashwell and Celli)

"I was searching for building to rest in, as we were attacked by a very great demon yesterday. We took shelter at the nearby cave; it did not last as long as expected." :(Aiden. Ashwell had started answering only three questions Celli was looking at Aiden. Ashwell)

"Hah you two taken shelter by a nearby cave how stupid you both can be, seriously a great demon just perfect for you two to run like chickens, which is why I enjoy hearing stupid people die to a great demon. Hahaha." :(Aurelia. Wood shouted on top of her lungs that's sounded a loud laugh with smile)

"THAT GREAT DEMON ALMOST KILLED THE OUTSIDER, AND YOU HAVE THE IDEA OF LAUGHING AT US!" :(Celli screamed and shouted like she is in full meltdown)

*Aiden. Ashwell was smiling wide and happy but inside he felt happy as Aurelia. Wood argued with Celli, but Celli looked very angry like her head is about to explode from a melting eruption. While Aurelia. Wood looked emotionless like she didn't care at all.*

"Girls please stop fighting on who is right and wrong." :(Aiden. Ashwell spoked out as his mouth started to hurt a little)

"SHUT IT OUTSIDER!" :(Aurelia. Wood and Celli screamed at the same time)

"That is just fine, you two shout away in the scorching heat while I am trying find answers, this needs to stop." :(Aiden. Ashwell simply said while smashing Aurelia. Wood and Celli's heads against each other)

"THAT HURTS OUTSIDER!" :(Celli and Aurelia. Wood moaned like they were in excruciating pain while experiencing a massive brain freeze)

"Let's start from the begging as you two got off track, I am the Outsider looking for truths in this world, this my companion named Celli who has same objective as me. And this is Aurelia. Wood the only surviving person in this abandoned town." :(Aiden. Ashwell answered while pointing with one single finger)

"So, Aurelia. Wood what you doing in this lifeless town, you sure be so lonely after years. Isn't strange when your people just suddenly vanish from existence like dust and ashes." :(Aiden. Ashwell pointed out about the situation right now)

"Well, I have nowhere to go, this town is my only home and it will remain that way. My family the Wood protected this town from any threatening people or forces." :(Aurelia. Wood explained while turning her eyes towards the two)

"Right, you are the only one left with nothing to protect but with your life." :(Celli floated up to her height, it seemed like she was getting a new friend)

"Hey don't say it like that, I am capable of defending myself even though I am the only one left of my family but still I am strong on my own." :(Aurelia. Wood put her both feet to ground and clenched her fist)

"Really and have you seen some types of dangerous or extreme things that you would call extreme, the Outsider had seen one thing which was a great demon, I expect you did not meet one in person but listen through the winds you say." :(Celli came more closer at Aurelia. Wood then shot a few arrows near at Celli's eye lids)

"CAN THIS BLOODY MESSAGE SPIRT FAIRY CAN GET ANY MORE ANNOYING THAN IT IS!" :(Aurelia. Wood seemed really annoyed)

"Come on, you both were arguing like no one is on your side but we have to resolve the hostile attitude you two have, we all got to work together or we won't survive in this world. Despite our differences we still have common ground, for now on I don't want hear any more negative words from you both most particularly you Celli." :(Aiden. Ashwell stepped up out with his sword)

"For I want find the truths along with Celli, I am guessing Aurelia. Wood wants to find out what happened to her home town as lifeless it seems to be. Perhaps we can help each other." :(Aiden. Ashwell confidently replied)

"Are you bloody sure you won't ditch at me later once you get a glimpse of riches; you are so persistent in pushing us to do your bidding." :(Aurelia. Wood gave a scoff)

"He doesn't have a ditching thing done yet, but he noticed he seems to rely on trust and honestly no manner how stupid he can be. That is why the Outsider you should be like as he is not ditching around you." :(Celli replied lightly and not much seriously than what she said before)
