Part 2: The Central Zone

The Dark forest’s Central Zone. Home to the most vicious and powerful monsters known to man. dozen of the most powerful monsters in the history of the continent believe to come from that territory.

It is unknown to outsiders how many ancient monsters still lived there, waiting to go out. The most famous of them all is the Tyrant Ant Queen, the leader of all known sentient insect races to the continent.

She personally claims to have come from there and due to a conflict from other monsters that she was driven out of her home, venturing to the outside and rallying all insect races under her banner to build an empire within the Northern Desert of the Dark forest.

Her goal is to go back to her home as she is bidding her time to build an army and claim her home again.

But time would not wait to no one as monsters grew faster in that territory, her enemy probably stronger than her by now.

In the Central Zone, the land is completely barren that you could not see plants or animals, only rocky volleys and dark pits. Empty and silent, that’s how you could describe the Central Core. It was different how the outsiders who describe and made stories and legends about strong monsters roaming everywhere and an untouched paradise.

In fact, this territory is the safest than the Outer Layer and even Middle Layer.

Unless… you step on a dimensional crack.

At the beginning where the world is in the process of creation, it was the ages of chaos. At that time only primordial entity, the Titans walk on earth. They were beings created by the world itself, powerful entities that can command elements and possess myriad of Godly powers.

Each one of them doesn’t look the same to one another for they are influenced by the elements, mimicking nature itself, creating some sort of avatar.

There is a Titan that looked like a tree, a Titan that made out of water. There’s even a Titan that looked like a mountain.

Due to differences and somehow similarity of relation to a specific element of another titan, there formed 4 factions in the relations of the basic 4 elements, Fire, Earth, Water, Air.

In the present time, they have disappeared in the eyes of the ordinary mortals, only from fairytale and legends foretold the first beings that created the foundation of the world.

But few who have power enough to reach the apex of their profession knew their existence at the present time.

They have been dormant for a very long time, scattered across the world, blending and invisible. But some are active and grow an attachment to mortals and secretly guiding them.

The continent to Aswerth’s Titans largely concentrated in the Dark Forest, specifically the Central Zone.

The Central Zone is seemingly Tiny compare to Middle and Outer Layer but multiple pockets of dimension made by the Titans contain worlds in it.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the land has been developed to withstand the high level of primordial power to contain multiple worlds.

It was created by the Titans for their creations to lived and flourished.

Nobody knows how many small worlds there are. Each world has its own specific law made by a Titan creator.

Some worlds connected by one another by the dimensional gate without passing to a more dangerous portal like dimensional crack where you would be transported with a high risk of danger to the outside world.

But few worlds were isolated that people living there do not know they are living in a small world. Either their Titan creator left the world or they met with tragedy.

There is one particular world that devoid of life. It is called the dark world by the Titans.

Light doesn’t shine in this world.

This world’s origin goes back way before the Titan. Numerous Titans attempted to explore this world for this was the one and only world that the Titan didn’t create and made reference of.

All never comes back.

Only the echo of wailing ghosts could be heard at the entrance of that world. The wailing still continues to this day to remind who attempted to go venture only death awaits.

The Titans still grew wary of that world as they believe a very powerful entity residing it. And so, for the first and the last time, the four factions work together to seal the entrance so that if the said being is ready to go out, it will fail.

Or so they thought.

The present.

The Dark World, ghost wails echo for a very long time. The voices of agony and resentment would make people who heard a goose-bumps.

But for some reason. The wails intensify as the sound of it is like fear and desperation. The sounds of the wails slowly moving towards a certain direction.

Countless different voices from old to young, who knows how many countless voices in the Dark World. It is still a mystery that only a few hundreds of Titans venture to the unknown but you could hear voices of millions if not billions of people as if all the world's dead soul is being concentrated in this particular world.

A few moments, it became silent. Then BOOM!

A large explosion occurs that shook all the worlds in the Central Zone. Not only that, but it also affected the whole Main realm, alerting even the dormant state Titan to wake up.

The main world of the Fire Titans

The leader of the Fire Titans, Freza

Their main world stronghold is the nearest from the location of the Dark world’s Dimensional Gate. As the Chief Titan Freza conduct the daily routine to his world. Lighting the sky giving warmth to the residence below. Suddenly an explosion occurs.

“hm!?”

Shock appears in his face as a phenomenon appears in front of his eyes.

The sky that used to be yellow like a blazing sun suddenly turned dim. In this world where he is the creator and all living are his creation not one could defy him and his Godly powers.

But the phenomenon defied his powers and overrule his control, which shocked him the most was the feeling of the fire element weakened by half in his world and the primordial power source of all world momentarily stop.

It was enough to cause him panic as this is the first time since his existence that control is out within his reach even for a few moments. For him, it's not a good feeling at all. He still can’t change the phenomenon that dimming the light sky he created.

His creation is probably panicking by now, similar to him.

“Keel!”

Shouted Freza

“Yes sire!”

Suddenly appearing out of thin are a man named Keel

“Summon the council, this a bad omen for all of us”

“Understood”

Like how he appears, Keel disappeared in an instance to deliver the message to the Titan Lords under Frieza's leadership. Traveling to satellite worlds and informing the Titan Lords would still take a lot of time even for the fastest messenger under him, so Frieza tries to use his power to reverse the situation as it could leave a long-lasting effect to his creation but still fail.

Meanwhile, The Dark World collapses. Leaving nothing even a trace of it as if it didn’t exist. But before the collapse, right after the explosion occurred a meteor suddenly ram into the combined seal of the Titans, and the seal collapses immediately as it penetrates through it like a thin piece of paper.

The meteor’s trajectory headed to the Eastern Forrest. The event happens so fast that the nearby Titans distracted and unaware of the thing that spews out from the Dark World.
