Chapter 1: How this mess begun.

This is, where my story begins, although very hard and sometimes very frustrating, I never regretted my decision to start this journey….

--Taluin - middle/peak world: Lauren--

Lauren re Tauhal, the high priestess of Dharkal, Ambassador of Three Secrets Nations, The Peacekeeper of the world was ascending to the high worlds.

“Status!” she whispered.

Lauren re Tauhal     .......     Power priority: [Tier 20]  500 T        Prophecy and Destiny [Tier 20]  539 T Power of Law [Tier 20]  551 T Prophecy [Tier 20]  540 T Intuition [Tier 20]  517 T       Cultivation[Light, Water, Space] [Tier 19] 470 T Purity [Tier 19] 480 T Spirituality [Tier 19] 470 T Capacity [Tier 19] 450 T       Mind   453 T Avatar of Justice [Tier 20]  510 T Mindpower [Tier 19] 470 T Alchemy [Tier 19] 323 T ............     ............    

She nodded with satisfaction because her main Stat crossed the boundary of this middle-peak realm behind her back were strange wings made of treads of destiny. That fascinated the crowd of selected of the powerfull of this realm, who had the privilege to guard Lauren ascension to the high realms.

She started gathering her powers. The sky started cracking due to the Tier20 powers. By habit or maybe be her instinct, she cast prophecy power into the future based on her ascension to the higher worlds

“DEAD”….

That shocked her. All eventualities and probabilities 100% pointed to her death as soon as she ascent.

Shocked Lauren gathered all her power, cast another prophecy searched only for one answer: How to survive the journey to the higher worlds.

And she found it…..

Without any delay, she cast space rift and disappeared within….

The Audience, witch expected big show of Lauren ascension was just staring, confused, what happened…

--Earth - not graded world: Me--

I died, stupid car crash. My 33-year-old myself had a lot of things to do!

Well, that doesn’t matter now…

I was above the earth. There was a calling. Something like light and voice at the same time, washing my worries about this world and asking me to begin floating somewhere, somewhere where I belong now…..

“WAIT” shouted a female voice beside me…

I turned left and saw unnaturally beautiful female brimming with confidence.  She was of a young – but mature age that I was unable to determine.

She had a glowing aura around her, and behind her back was Wings made of an infinite number of strange transparent strings, which started on her back and their other end was slowly disappearing somewhere…

Wow, an Angel? They really exist at all! Wow, she is beautiful!

“Before you go there, let me offer you something” continued angel. “What would you say to be reincarnated into another world, where you would have ultimate advantage tailored to your soul, in exchange for a small favor, which would ultimately cost you almost nothing?”

WHHATTT?? “THIS” is happening!!!?  I was staring at the angel… I mean, this is almost too good to be true…

“Uhh … yeah? …what would that small favor contain? Can you tell me some details?” I tried to keep a cool head.

“Sure” nodded the Angel “Let me tell the short version of my life story.” She continued…

“My name is Lauren re Tauha. I was born on a small low world, where my family was a victim of great injustice, I prayed to the heavens to grant me the power to fight it. Imagine my surprise where glowing shard pierced the heaven and inserted in my head and fused with my soul. After that, I gained Ability tailored to my soul, which allows me to make sure all oaths in my vicinity would be fulfilled or I can name the consequences. It also strengthened all my other abilities. The system said something like this“ Lauren said…

Congratulation, you were blessed by high heavens and receive special abilities/abilities tailored to your soul. High heavens await your chosen one! Please wait a moment, to receive the best… …… ……

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Congratulation, you received ability Law Bringer. Law Bringer: If someone promises you something and broke that promise, you can ask the value of that promise x100. If someone told you a lie, which is harmful to you, you can ask compensation of value difference between lie and reality x10. If the target tier is different than you, compensation values can differ. [Priority Tier 22] Congratulation, you receive a strong boost in talent to Light, Law, and Destiny. [Priority Tier 22]

What? Is this kinda a game? I was seriously confused.

“That allowed to reverse calamites my family was facing, then after uncounted battles, I ascended to the middle worlds, where I was arbiter and peacekeeper, which everyone respected. I was improving myself facing almost impossible challenges, but my special ability, which assured me that everyone needs to keep their wows and could not tell me lies. That gave me a special edge. I kept improving until was time to ascend to the higher world, where I had a strong calling from. “ Lauren proudly continued.

Well, that would be a handy ability to have… I thought.

“Then I cast very strong prophecies, and discovered …. That I would die no matter what when I ascend. Basically, my best chance to go there is YOU”.  Lauren said with a little bit of anger in her voice.

Me? Really? How is this possible? I was quite stared…

“Listen up” Lauren spoken with calming patience “I will be there, hidden within your soul and guide you through danger and opportunities. Just promise me, that you will make the honest climb into the higher worlds. For some reason, I feel need to go there.”

 Oh, a pocket expert teacher on top of that ‘ultimate’ advantage, that would be more than handy….

“So, what’s your decision? Lauren asked. “It would be hard. I would not sugarcoat that. You need to work hard, risk your life and overcome yourself and several odds countless times. But it will be worth it, I promise” Lauren smiled.

Her words were calming and encouraging, I almost have forgotten about that calling light, which keeps calling me since my death.

This is a lot to decide… What the hell let’s try it, I can die again in the worst case!

Also, I wanted to discover fantasy-like world since I was a child. Let’s be honest with myself…

“Ok, I agree I m Noel by the way..” I needed. Uff that took more courage than I expected….

“Let's go” Lauren smiled. “You will experience a lot…”

She somehow ‘grabbed’ my soul, I feel kind of warm and safe.

“First, I need to grant you, a special ability, with only that It's probable that you will be able to survive a climb up,” Lauren said with a solemn tone. “It’s the shard that haven been granted by heaven. As my soul received the baptism of many ascensions, I think I should be able to separate it from my soul”

Lauren hesitated “Well it will be safe when I would be ascended to higher realms, now it will be a little bit risky, but I have to do this,” she said resolutely.

She started to flash blinding white light. The light slowly concentrated between her eyebrows. She yelped with agony, but she held her teeth with a painful expression. Finally, between her eyebrows pristine small yellow crystal emerged shining with sacred light.

Lauren gesticulated with her hand and that yellow crystal floated into my imaginary eyebrows.

Argg it hurts, what is this feeling…there is something…something….

It was like my mind was a small lake and some foreign rivers flooded into it. I saw yellow crystal in my soul, and from it, there were several glowing tendrils searching for something…

Some of the tendrils are damaged?!? I watched searching tendrils…Then I received a strange prompt in my mind:

Congratulation, you Xxca b̸̝̬̭̀͆̍͗͗͠l̷̨̨̮̭̟̝̜͖̈́͒̂̄͌̃͋̀͜ȩ̶͍̯̳̹̫̮̰̽͗̑s̶̲̟͑̀̑̊s̸̹̦̈́ḛ̵̗͕̘̜̮͎͋ͅS̸̨̛̻̟̜̘̳̳͈͔̝̋̽͐d̴͖̺̭̦̝̭̦̗̣̩͋ by T̸̝͍̺̙̀̋̓̇̑̋̊̓̏͘H̶̤̠̙̗͕̳̖̲͖̎̎̐̎̇̄͆̎̈́̕ͅi̴͈̮͚̘̝̩̘̩̫̎̈͗͐́̎͝͝͝ͅN̷͔̘͕͕̈͌̓̀̈́͘͘G̴̡̻̩̤̱̜͔̫̈́͒̃͑́͌̍́͘ and receive special s̶̨͚̥̬͎̰̯̣̠̬͑̍͒͑̎̅̕̕e̶̻͕͇̋̐̏͜e̵̛̦̫̘̋̎͛̓͂͜d̷̨̡̡̨̧̨̛̲̯̖͖̓ tailored to your soul.

This doesn’t look good! Was it supposed to look like that?

“Snap out of it, we don’t have time” Lauren pulled me back in reality.

I looked at Lauren, her state was….

This doesn’t look good!

She was bleeding from the corner of her mouth also both her eyes were bleeding….

“It was harder than I thought it would be…let's go” Lauren smiled sourly.

She tiredly waved her hand and made space rift and dragged both of us through it.

--Earth - not graded world – same place an hour later, unknown:--

Space cracked and made the shape of the two powerful eyes. They were searching for something. After some time, they made a frowning expression. Then they closed and it was peaceful again…

--Unknown low graded world – Me.--

We flowed for some time. It was a quite weird feeling being dragged as a soul. I saw a lot of strange phenomena I didn’t quite understand. There were strange colors everywhere when we flew through something that looked like a tunnel until we arrived before an earth-like planet just like 5 of its size.

“I originally wanted to bring you into a higher world, but the transferring the shard cost me a lot more that I thought I would. I’m dying.” Lauren sadly said. “Also dragging your soul here was surprisingly demanding. I was starting to think I would be impossible, but I spotted a strange whirlpool of karma and destiny from this world”

“I feel you should be able to reincarnate if I sent you right now if I sent you near that whirlpool” Lauren continued. “My soul is badly damaged, I will compress my soul and hide it within yours.  But I won’t be able to help you until I recover a little. Maybe some treasure from a middle-average graded world would help me, but don’t count to find something sooner”

Well, goodbye pocket expert teacher….Wait! hide within my soul?!?

I was quite shocked…

“Goodbye….and good luck Noel. Remember karma exists in this world. Sometimes you will face impossible odds, but heavens always give away, although sometimes It's very narrow.” Lauren gave me an encouraging smile.”

“Wait! I don’t know anything!!“I cried.

But It was too late. Lauren transformed into blinding white light which enveloped my soul. After that, all I could see was whiteness, the last thing I saw was:
