Period: 3rd cycle
Continent: Fimbulwinter (Victoria)
Location: Orb’s Mansion
A few days after Niflheim was founded
Φ Still the dead of night one grey-haired young man in a room filled with people awakes and opens his eyes.
The young boy froze his body on the roof of the room and woke up he stared at all the people in the room, and smiles then says, “Let’s get started.”
Slowly I break out of my ice then using my legacy I freeze my feet to the wall and escape out of the room. Yet when I leave the room I have to continue to manoeuvre because outside the room is also filled with sleeping people.
After I brought everyone to Fimbulwinter to start our country we quickly ran into a problem and that is where are we all going to sleep?
Due to me not being affected by the cold, I was able to sleep outside, but the only other person who could put up with such intense colds for a long period was Cyrus.
Even though I have been moving snow away each day, it simply is just way too cold for everyone to sleep without suffering some horrible side effects.
So everyone had to sleep inside the mansion, and to save space I froze both me and Cyrus to the walls during the night.
Reaching the front door of the mansion, I say, “It used to be just me and Capti here.”
Smiling, with pink hair he says, “I have a whole lot of friends now, so I need to try my best.”
Going outside I take off my top then I create a giant block of ice and freeze it to my back, then I start to run.
Due to the fact, that I was asleep for 6 months lots of muscle mass I had built up had completely vanished, and when you add in the constant pain from Ahmed's Judgement, I was physically horrible.
So every day I run about 25km across Fimbulwinter, it takes me about an hour to complete. If I was at full strength I would be able to run much longer, but this run essentially kills me by doing it.
But I have no time to waste, so when I return I do a series of full-body workouts and as I do them, I activate my legacy and manipulate my snow to form objects.
Doing this allows me to separate and control my snow even when I am in extreme physical pain. This has allowed me to better control my snow.
But still, it is still not good enough. All I am able to make are very uncomplicated objects like a dog or a ball. Still, I can feel it becoming easier with each attempt.
Falling to my but, I say, “Three hours in I should rest.”
Taking a sip of water, Orb looks into the distance and gets lost in my thoughts.
My training is going well, if I keep at this I will eventually master fighting with my legacy. During Jedidiah, I reached a point of exhaustion really quickly, and that was simply just a fight for survival.
If I had to fight while protecting someone during that time, me and the other person would have died. Thankfully I had Anto, and his inversion legacy to allow me to broaden my options in battle.
But I won’t always have him as I option, so the best I can do is be more efficient with what I have. Which is hard with the judgment chains constantly inflicting pain and dulling my body.
Though it would be dishonest not to talk about all the advantages I do have, Legacy, Helix battle arts, enhanced senses due to my legacy, and my greatest power, regeneration. But even that has drawbacks.
Sitting up from the floor he was lying on, Orb actives his legacy and rips off one of his arms. Holding back from letting out a loud scream, I wait for my arm to grow back and it those so.
The first issue is that outside of Advent, my wounds don’t heal as quickly. The second is that it makes me a little too overconfident, which is how I got hit with those judgment chains.
And most alarming issue is that the afflicted wound grows back in a predetermined state.
This means that all my scars vanish, but it also affects my muscle growth. If I tear my muscles too explosively they will just grow back without becoming stronger.
So I have to slowly exercise to grow strength, and then after I do such that state becomes what’s natural and what my body will return to when damaged. It is a pain in the ass.
But with the exception of starvation, I might essentially be immortal. And there are other fun benefits, such as being able to grow my cold-resistant hair as long as I want.
Using his method I was able to make blankets and clothes for everyone that has been allowing them to function, and the best benefit.
Holding up his arm, Orb with a sick smile says, “How cool, how amazing. I always wanted a human arm, and now I have one!”
“I have wanted to always see the nooks and crannies of the human body, but to do that would require touching dead bodies, and Capti opening seeing me smiling at a book grabbed me and said.”
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
“Orb for the shake of humanity please give up your interest with the human body!” With a very serious expression, as if he was trying to stop a murderer from being born. I just started back at him with grey hair.
With bright green hair, Orb says, “But this is my flesh, so morally it is alright. Isn’t it!?”
Slowly but precisely Orb rips apart his arm and sees the insides. “This is the spot that always itches and I can finally see this.”
Stopping Orb says, “Maybe I should try that today? But what if I die? YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, SO WHAT IS THERE TO LOSE!"
Using his legacy Orb, slowly but precisely rips his longs right out of his body. Then collapse on the floor waiting for them to regenerate.
Getting up from the incident, Orb grasps for air, then he looks down at his lunges and says with bright green hair, “Humans bodies really are wonderful. I wish I could look through everyone's bodies. Suzuka, Cyrus, Atalanta, Iancu. I wish I could just gaze upon them all.
But if I were to rip them apart, but when they die after living long lives I can do it then, right? We are friends after all, and isn’t that what friends do for each other!”
With nothing but the smile of a pervert, Orb smiles and laughs.
Then a few moments later, his hair turns grey, then silver and he says, “I wonder how the mechanics behind my regeneration works. How does it remember which state of being my body should return to?”
With green hair, Orb runs back inside grabs something then comes out.
Holding it over his head, Orb says, “Anto’s lighting dagger,” The one we stole from Easifatan.
Then Orb using the daggers stabs it into his right arm and then cuts his arm off. But as Orb stares at his arm it doesn’t grow back, so Orb takes the dagger out of his arm and says, “It seems my idea was correct.”
It is my brain that remembers how everything is in my body. So when I get damaged it sends electrical impulses to regrow the limb, but when I used the dagger to absorb it my limb didn’t regrow.
Sitting up, Orb's hair turns yellow and he says, “Wouldn’t that mean if my brain got damaged or destroyed I would die!?”
Putting my hands on my head, I say, “It would, wouldn’t it? I need to be careful from now on!”
Standing up, I say, “I need to get back to work.”
Putting on my clothes, I grab my spear and start to run down Fimbulwinter.
-Break-
Calling Fimbulwinter a mountain would be a lie. In all honesty, it is simply just an elevated land mass that was once known as the continent Victoria.
This was very clearly written in some of the books Captivant left me. I had always wondered why there was such a weird use of language about it, but I realized it just shows a greater issue. The difference in knowledge among people.
Since talking to some of the former slaves and children of Skydust, I realized there is just a giant difference in knowledge between them.
The kids from Skydust knew a lot about the different continents and other key historical information. But some of the adult slaves, couldn’t even name Molstoria. It seems that some people really did just stay in their villages their whole lives.
Due to this, I suspect many don’t even know about the fact that Fimbulwinter was once known as Victoria. But the rumours of the demonic mountain that freezes countless to death would be a much juicer story to be spread, and hence why it is more widely known as such.
Still, Fimbulwinter is a strange place. Even after clearing all the snow, I noticed that the soil beneath was still great despite being frozen for a long time.
But more than being strange it is dangerous. Stopping under the golden trees of Fimbulwinter, I see a group of waptors pop out and attack me.
Grabbing my spear, I use spirit energy to reinforce my body, then I accurately pierce each and every one of their skulls.
Stopping, I say, “Still lagging a bit.”
My next training is to move around the bottom of Fimbulwinter and hunt wonderbeasts on Fimbulwinter. I don’t use my legacy so I can sharpen my physical abilities, but more than that my spirit energy control.
Even though, I can use spirit energy my control is still so horrible. When I was showing it to Suzuka a few days ago she said, “HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE, EVEN A BABY COULD CONTROL IT BETTER!”
The genuine concern, and confusion, Suzuka had made me feel really embarrassed. So I need to train, and more than that I have seen by simply using spirit energy, Atalanta was able to move faster than me, and Ahmed was able to cut Cyrus. I feel like mastering spirit energy can bring me to a new stage.
Seeing a Spercera charge at me, I say, “But spirit energy isn’t the only thing I need to sharpen.”
Dodging the Spercera charge, I rotate my body and build up energy, then I hit the Spercera with my palm on his head, and says, “Helix battle arts: Spiral.”
The rotational energy I built up flows through the spercera’s thick head and damages its brain causing it to collapse. I then use my spear to kill it.
The Helix battle arts I learned from Naji have been slipping from me, it seems to be asleep made me lose the sensation, so I have had to build it back up.
Helix battle arts: Spiral, builds up rotational energy then sends it as a shockwave through its target and can damage them internally.
A dangerous yet incredibly effective technique, and due to no one knowing the Helix battle arts except for me, I don’t have to worry about someone taking the energy and sending it back at me.
Seeing another Spercera charge at me, I dodge away.
Helix battle arts has another benefit, for a little time after my rotational energy passes through a part of my body, it strengthens it.
With my fist infused with spirit energy, I smash it against the head of the Spercera which leaves a crack in its face. Then using my spear, I stabbed through that hole and hit its brain.
“If I was using my legacy, I would probably have killed it in one blow.”
Looking at all the dead predasaur bodies around me, I say, “This reminds me of when Christopher and the other adventures left.”
We had to pay the Adventures with a ridiculous amount of wonderbeast corpses. Not so they would not tell anyone about us, but so they would make sure when they returned to Cordum that Christopher would be quiet.”
With Orb’s hair turning black, he says, “I hope they can keep him quiet.”
Looking around, I say, “I guess I should get going.”
On Orb’s head, his ears dissipate, and he grows two wolf ears and a tail. Even outside of Advent, I can grow my wolf ears and tail that I have in that form.
Listening in I find a wonderbeast, and when I do I return my body to normal and then run over.
After arriving I find a scardo. Looking at it I am reminded of the first time I arrived from the top of Fimbulwinter. “How nostalgic, but sorry to say I eat meat now.”
The scardo runs, and I chase after it slowly taking my time, and having fun with it. But then from the sky, I hear something coming for me, so I dodge away.
Looking at what was coming towards me, I said, “That’s a razordon’s plate, it shot it at me.”
Suddenly I start to hear a bunch of foot stomps. All around me a bunch of different wonderbeasts are heading towards me. Vanir Mammoth, Waptor, Atlas eater, Spercera, waptor, and others I am not familiar with.
“This is bad.” Activating his legacy Orb’s hair turns green and he says, “Looks like I am going to have to fight my way out.”
