As Robin sat on the cold marble bench under the shade of a large, ancient tree, he took a slow sip of his iced tea, feeling the cool liquid down his throat. The garden was serene, a stark contrast to the whirlwind of thoughts racing through his mind. With a glance at Oliver, his newly assigned butler, Robin spoke, "I think Deputy Butler Jackson has already briefed you on everything regarding my situation."

"Yes, Master Robin," Oliver replied calmly. "I received all the necessary information before being assigned to you."

"Good. That saves us some time," Robin said, nodding slightly. "Honestly, I don’t know much about anything here—not even the basics. I couldn’t just ask the Family Head or deputy butler Jackson all these questions seems like they're quit busy."

" Jackson said you’re quite knowledgeable."

"Your expectations of me are too high, Master Robin," Oliver said with a modest smile.

"Just give me the information I need—how the family came to be, its history, the worlds around us, the dead zone, the Council, everything you know. And also," Robin paused, pointing at the small, sleek bracelet embedded into his wrist, "you’ll have to teach me how to use this thing."

Oliver took a deep breath, his gaze thoughtful as he gathered his thoughts. "Detailed information might overwhelm you, so I’ll give you a brief overview of everything."

Robin nodded, leaning back as Oliver began to speak.

"The William family," Oliver started, "was once just a baronial house, overseeing the city you saw earlier and the surrounding estates, it was just a farming village back then. The title of Duke was something the family earned through generations of hard work and ambition. But everything changed with William VII. He wasn’t content with merely being a Duke; he was a man with grand ambition —he wanted to be a king."

Oliver paused for a moment, his eyes distant as if recounting a story from a novel. "William VII, with the help of his most loyal allies, orchestrated a coup that overthrew the reigning king. It was a bloody affair, but in the end, he took control of the kingdom. However, William VII’s ambitions didn’t stop there. Now that he had a kingdom, he set his sights on the world. He wanted to rule the whole world.He led his armies in a bloody campaign, conquering a huge chunk of the continent. His life ended on the battlefield, a fitting end for a man of his nature, but his dream lived on through his sons."

Oliver’s voice grew more intense as he continued, "Over the course of several centuries, the William family expanded its influence. It’s estimated that around a few thousand years ago, one of William VII’s descendants, Ted William, along with his brothers, managed to unify the entire world under the William family. From that moment on, the world has been ruled by the William family, and those who helped them during the conquest were integrated into the family as branch family, cementing a powerful and loyal aristocracy. These family are now in charge of all the countries."

Robin listened intently, his mind trying to grasp the scale of what he was hearing. It's seems lika a story from a novel.

"Without the constant threat of war the world’s progression was quick," Oliver continued. "The William family led the world from a Type 3 civilization to a Type 2 civilization in a matter of centuries. I'll remind you that the world you are from is a type 3 civilization.Technological advancements flourished, and soon, we reached beyond the skies. It was during this time that we made contact with other lifeforms, establishing connections with planets far beyond our own, we began space exploration and started mining and colonizing different planet. We found some habitable planets but back then we left them be. And something we only do research on them.

Oliver gestured toward the garden, where a towering statue stood, its shadow stretching across the meticulously kept lawn. "But the universe was vast and danger loomed everywhere. To cosmic entity to foreign invasion the world was under constent thrat . The statue you see there is of Aston William. The one regard as the father of modern William family.He was the one who removed all threats from this part of the galaxy. Aston was a brilliant strategist and a fierce warrior, but his story doesn’t end with battle victories. Aston on his conquest fell in love with a dragon,Who originally wanted this world to be her base . She was a creature of immense power and mystery. Their union was controversial, but it produced a bloodline that continues to this day, all the direct decent are from this bloodline. But only women from the family inherited dragons power . After Aston every head of family was woman."

Robin looked at the statue, a new understanding dawning on him. "So, your saying one of my ancestor screwed a dragon. ?" As he laughed.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

"Indeed," Oliver confirmed. "Although the power running through the family is a blessing but dragons tend to look at us with hatred. "

Robin was silent, the weight of this new knowledge settling over him like a heavy mantle.

"The worlds around us," Oliver continued after a moment, "are numerous and diverse, each with its own history!, there are some world we own that even the normal people from there don't know about our existence except the leader of each nation. There are also some beast world we own , thery are inhabited by animal"

"The Grand library in the mansion you saw earlier had all the history in detail. there is also list of everything we own in this part of the cosmos.the library is actually a relic.where only the blood of William family can enter. You can check it later. "

After taking a long pause Oliver continued, "The cosmos is so vast that it’s beyond anything we can truly imagine. But within this endless space, many parts are know many still remain undiscovered. The discovered part are recorded in grand codex. Everything recorded in grand codex is known as known universe, where many powerful forces compete for control.

Some parts are ruled by huge empires that span countless star systems. These empires are ancient, their origins lost to history, and their power is absolute. They control entire regions with massive fleets of warships and armies that could block out the stars. The leaders of these empires are often mysterious figures, surrounded by myth and legend, and their goals are as hard to understand as the universe itself.

Other areas are controlled by federations of families or clans, groups of worlds cluster or star system united by fragile agreements and common interests. These alliances are always changing, with member worlds either breaking away or being taken over by stronger neighbors. The politics within these federations are just as dangerous as any war, with betrayal and intrigue as common as stars in the sky. One of these groups is the Celestial Council. You might have seen some of their members before. The council is made up of 11 families, some as powerful as us, and others even more so. But none of them are strong enough to be an empire. The William family is relatively new to the council, and they control this part of the cosmos.

Then there are the rogue states—independent worlds and small clusters of systems that resist control by any of the larger powers. These are often lawless places, where pirates, mercenaries, and warlords are in charge. They thrive in the chaos that exists in the more unstable regions of the universe.

There are also some beings known as gods and demons. They are transcendent being. Who controll some planets. They like to play house with the world they controls.

To be honest if you ask me about my opinion about them all i can say they are bunch of lunatics. They don't let the world they controls to prosper.

And beyond all of these are the unknown forces, mysterious entities that exist in the farthest reaches of the cosmos.Nobody know their name or origin only Their influence is felt, but no one really understands them. Some say they are the remains of ancient civilizations; others believe they are beings from another dimension. Whatever they are, everyone fears their power. Even there are some recorded story about a arrogant god who was vanished without a trace by a unknown being. All organization always tried to not disturb them. And nobody knows how they looks like , there were some record in a ancient destroyed world that they they are the first being. After the universe was created the remaining energy created them and they are the messenger of creator who created the universe. Sometimes they like to live amongst us.

This recorded deemed controversial by verious experts from different world. The only thing we know that they're too powerful.

Besides in this vast and complicated universe power is everything, and control is just an illusion. Power shifts constantly, and those who seek dominance are always in a struggle. The balance of power can change in an instant. It’s a dangerous and unpredictable place, where survival depends on knowing who holds the power—and how to navigate the ever-changing tides of the cosmos."

All of this information overwhelmed Robin. But god knows how long he have to stay here. To survive in the vast cosmos, he needed as much information as he could gather.

With a heavy heart, Robin asked, "I've been hearing about this thing called the Dead Zone from everyone. The family head said I'm from the Dead Zone, but Earth isn't dead, right?"

Oliver took a deep breath before replying, "To understand the Dead Zone, I need to explain it from the root, but I'll be brief. Nobody knows for sure how the universe was created, but there's one thing everyone agrees on—a massive explosion of energy took place, which we now call the Big Bang."

Oliver paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts. "The Big Bang was a colossal explosion that occurred billions of years ago, sending energy and matter flying outwards, creating galaxies, stars, and planets. It was the birth of our universe as we know it. Every planet was created with a core, which some like to call the 'World Soul.' The core produces pure aether, a primary ingredient of life and energy. Every living being and object has aether within them. Living beings can store aether to do magic and other extraordinary things, while objects with stored aether become magical items."

He continued, "But not every place in the cosmos has the same density of aether. Some areas have a lot of aether, while others have very little. And then, there are areas with no aether at all. The places with abundant aether create strong life forms. The places with no aether are called voids, and the places with very little aether are called Dead Zones."

Oliver's expression grew more serious. "Aether flows like water. When a being with a lot of aether goes to a Dead Zone without protective gear, the aether stored in their body gets absorbed by the Dead Zone's atmosphere. That's why the most dangerous criminals in the cosmos are sent to Dead Zones. If you have an enemy, you can exile them there as well. Dead Zones are a curse for beings with high affinity for aether but a blessing for their residents. Other civilizations could conquer them, but it would be very costly, so they let them be.thats why you never saw any alien invasion.and i think many of the main figureheads in various civilizations on your home planet might actually be criminals or castaways from other planets."

Robin was left wondering, "How did my grandfather end up in the Dead Zone? Was he a criminal, or was he exiled?"

"As far as I know, he went on an expedition," Oliver replied. "After that, we never heard from him again."

"Then if there's no aether, how am I teleported here? I can tell to do any kind of magic you need aether and any attempt to do magic will be absorbed by atmosphere" Robin asked, puzzled.

"I'm no expert," Oliver admitted, "but i have a theory the little aether your world has might have been used to teleport you here. You could ask your grandfather's older brother for more details. He's a famous researcher ."

"I need to visit him," Robin decided.

"I'll add it to your schedule, sir," Oliver said, glancing at his terminal and looked at the sky. "It looks like we've talked for quite a while. It's time for lunch sir. I'll lead the way."

All this information made Robin's head spin. He had wanted to untangle the knot of mysteries, but instead, all this new knowledge only seemed to tighten it further.
