It was early in the morning, Tiny was buried in his mother’s embrace for the last two hours, she couldn't control herself, weeping all night.

She knew that there is a big chance she will never see him again. Tiny patted her on the head and said with a smile "Mother, everything will be fine I promise you, when I will be back I hope our whole situation will turn much better and I will manage to help you leave this place", his mother was only 18 years old, he in total was 26 years old so the way he looked at her was mixed with a love for a little sister and the love for a mother. It was really hard for him to develop such a feeling because he had never known motherly love in his past life.

After she heard it, she couldn't control herself, in the beginning, her son didn't look at her with a warm gaze, let's not talk about caring eyes, and his tone was lacking any loving ring to it. but now he looked at her with a loving smile and his tone was full of care she was terrified to lose him. she could do nothing but to keep crying.

"Mother I need to go now, please be at ease. I know they will not give you an option to come with me and if I do not go now, they will come to drag me there. So, before I go, please let me grant you a present".

His mother looked at him with big red eyes.

"You gave me so much and I couldn't give you anything in return, so let me grant you a name. to me you are not an object! I know that they forbid you to own a name but for me, you are much more important than them and their stupid rules. from today onward you will carry the name 'Opal' ", he said as the image of his own old sister and his newly mother mixed together in his brain.

She stopped moving as if she turned into a stone, the punishment of granting a name to a trash and giving him hope for a "normal life" is a cruel death if someone discovered you. but Tiny didn't care at all, the number of times that he saw his mother gets beaten because of him was so big that for her he really didn't mind putting himself in danger. for him, his ugly mother was the most beautiful woman in the entire world. to be honest he really hated any other creature on this new planet except for her.

He looked at his mother's face, kiss her on her forehead then turn around and exit the house. After he made no more than 5 steps, he heard a hysterical scream. he didn't look back as he started to run to the big plaza of the clan, where the ceremony will take place in.

There were approximately 30 children who gathered there, everybody knew that it was the most important day of their life, it doesn't matter if they were a child of a regular clan member or a slave, their status will only depend on their achievements today.

Of course, if your parents have a certain status even if you will stay nameless your life will be better than that of the normal slaves as long as your parents are alive and still cared about you.

"What an ugly world" Tiny thought to himself.

After some time, someone came followed by a group of people. he had white hair and red eyes, he looked very strong and his age was approximately near his late 30. he was one of the many different life forms on this planet looking somewhat like a vampire.

"Everyone follow me" he said without taking any glance at any of the children.

All the children followed him quietly for 5 minutes before they entered an underground structure that contained only one small room. the room was full of weird drawings which connected to each other in a bizarre way. The drawing surrounded a normal-looking stone with a height of almost 8 meters.

"Everyone in this room will go one by one to stand near the stone, if your mind is suitable to understand one of the essences created by any of the gods it will be presented on the stone, you will be considered as a creature who got recognize by the gods as long as the stone will change its color. you can do nothing to change the outcome, what god recognize is your beliefs and ideals, not the one you can learn by society but your inner values, your instincts and ideology".

After he finished his speech, he looked at a random kid in the audience. the kid shivered as he walked slowly to the appointment location. nothing happened everything was quiet, the child was afraid, but he couldn't do anything about the situation.

"What is your mother’s name?" asked the examiner.

"She namele..." before he could finish his sentence, his head vanished. he had been killed just like that before Tiny eyes!! Tiny almost vomited from the shock, most of the children were too young to understand what had happened.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

All the kids were so afraid not even the tiniest voice could be heard.

Afterward, more children went to test themselves. The powerless young girls were sent back to the slave region probably to make babies in the future. the boys were executed on the spot. the one who managed to make the stone to change its color went to stand on the other side of the room. the color showed how much of a recognition you get.

The color order is grey - black - red - pink - purple - blue - white. where grey is the normal color of the stone and white is a legendary transform.

Eventually, Tiny turn came, he walked to the stone, the tension long ago start to build up and he was afraid out of his mind.

He just stood on the needed spot and absolutely nothing happened. he starts to panic, he turned around and run in a random direction, a strong force surrounds him. he couldn't move anymore, it was the power of the examiner. Tiny shouted a hysterical scream, as the scream died out, everyone went quiet, it was because of the stone, it started to transform. Until now the highest recognition was a pink recognition, but Tiny recognition went all the way up to a blue recognition.

Silence, dead silence.

"HAHAHAHA at long last someone worthy in my clan HAHAHA Good, it’s great!"

"Kid what is your mother’s name?" he asks Tiny.

Tiny bite his tongue and said weakly "she is nameless".

"Oh really? Does a nameless woman give birth to you? kid do you care about her?" he asked Tiny.

"Yes, very much sir" Tiny answered as fast as he could. he was really afraid by now, he didn't know what to say he was afraid that the examiner will punish her because of some kind of rule he didn't know of, or he will make her a prisoner to make him behave. But in contrast to his negative flow of thought.

"Very well so why don't you name her? you own her now as far as I am concerned" In other words, he was going to give her freedom, who is he in the clan? how can he decide it by himself?

"Opal" Tiny said.

He put his hand on his head and went quiet for a long time, what no one of the children knew was that he is the next chief in line, he was so happy to find a good concubine who manage to give birth to a child with a blue recognition. he will take Tiny mother as his sixth wife and that kid will be naturally his 20th child, that way it will be much easier to get a name for himself in this world.

He told Tiny that he owns his mother, but it was only because he saw no harm in doing so. his mother was worth much more than her child, he still didn't know if his power mean anything. who knows which god recognized him? he had a weak mind to care for his "worthless" mother, but the mother already proved herself worthy. she can give birth to a lot of children until one of them will be recognized by worthy god. in any case how rare it is to get a blue recognition? in the whole continent, no more than 200 known people had it.

After some time passed, he told one of the assistants in the room to go and bring 'Opal', afterward children kept testing their recognition. in the end, only 12 children kept their life today, 5 got any kind of recognition.

"Right now, we can't know which kind of god gave you his recognition" said the examiner, "we will be able to find out only after you will start to collect world essences. everyone who managed to get recognition will start to train from today onward. at the age of 12, you will leave the clan to study how to control your essence under the academies. every academy has different entry restrictions, but even the poorest academy requires the first god stage".

"Cultivate are divided into 10 god stages the pinnacle will let you the power to create your own clan in the continent."

"But your cultivate level isn't as important as the god you take the essence from. because the level just means how much of his essence you collect, and if the essence is weak a huge amount of essence will help you with nothing".

"So basically, all the strongest people must manage to get into the highest god recognition level to be truly worthy, but there are lots of trashes with the highest level either!".

"The recognition color means how much power can the user manipulate with his collected essence".

"Each of you will take one book that explains how to meditate and collect the essence from the surrounding, everyone may leave except you" he said and point at Tiny.

After everyone left except for the middle-aged man and Tiny, they waited 20 minutes in silence before they heard running steps, it was Tiny mother, Opal. after she came The White-haired man wore an ugly expression, he totally didn't want to take this ugly woman as his wife, after considering that again he thought that as long as she will give him strong children it was more than worth it.

Both child and mother could see his train of thought, in his eyes they weren't more than tools, so he didn't try to hide his feeling. In the end, he said "Opal, from today onward you aren't a slave anymore you are my wife! the next chief in line wife. you will be given freedom, servants, and monthly income. You are granted the privilege to grant your own child a name, if you have any other requests or questions don't be polite and just say it. I don't mind revenging any person who hurt you till now" he said to her, of course if she didn't manage to bring him healthy and strong kids he will just kill her.

Opal looked happy right now. The truth was that the one who came to call her already explained everything to her, so her shock wasn't that great right now. it's did take more than 35 minutes to bring her to the room. she looked at Tiny with a loving gaze and said with determination "I dreamed about this day almost every night in the past 3 years, your name shall be 'Mormo', please accept it as it contains all my love and care for you".

"Very well, you don't have to take a book from there. A better one will be waiting for you at your home".

"Yes, sir" Mormo said and followed his new "father".

With a new life, he got a new power and from today he has a new destiny so of course, it is only natural to accept a new name.
