Prologue: Rebirth of a World

A young man clad in armor made of magic stood atop the walled kingdom's main gate. Accompanying him were individuals around his age. All of them were wearing a black hood identical to the gray one the man was wearing, hiding their faces with it. Wounds, blood and soil stains covered their bodies, their posture showing weariness after being through a very long battle.

This group of ten young adults had led the world's last kingdom on its final stand to overturn the tides of war against the Worldeaters, creature originating from the Void. They live and repopulate by devouring all life from a planet then moving to another once all the resources had been used up. These creatures have the ability to create void gates to cross between dimensions.

Now, the war was finally coming to an end. The signal had been sounded. All the humans outside the kingdom immediately retreated within its walls. After the last person has entered, a barrier was activated surrounding the whole kingdom and preventing any Worldeater from entering. The barrier won't hold long but its enough to last until the whole plan is completed.

While overseeing the current condition of the battlefield the man disabled his magic armor . With the sound of the signal still ringing in his ears, he finally let himself be at ease and sat on the edge of the wall while looking at the Worldeaters charge at the barrier in frustration. They were able to successfully defend the kingdom and give the Great Elders the time they need to cast their ultimate World Level Spell [Terraformation].

From the center of the kingdom a spell was released. A magic circle formed at the sky above. Dimension gates all over the world collapsed upon themselves and the cracks left in space were sealed halting the Worldeaters from crossing dimension. The remaining Worldeaters were sent into confusion.

"Looks like the elders were able to complete the incantation in time." The man spoke to the woman who sat besides him.

"Yeah, the spell took a long time to cast though. We had to fight nonstop for two whole days! Without a time for a break or to eat! I'm really out of gas."

"Well we got no other choice, we are the strongest they have in the army. If we were to retreat in the middle of the battle to rest, the troops moral may waiver."

"Sheesh, I know. You don't have to remind me."

"That asides since it seems we could finally relax, won't you give me the privilege in inviting you to witness the main event together? The spell's final part is about to begin. Those Elders told me its gonna be flashy."

The woman face him with her head tilted and asked. " Whats that suppose to mean? Are you inviting me on a date?"

He chuckled. "Well you could treat eat that way, but the show wouldn't last longer than a hour."

"That's fine enough. Sure, I accept Mr. World's Savior."

"Haha....hey don't flatter me. i sure did led the battle and devised the plan, but I couldn't have done it without help from everybody. Also, if it weren't for this certain girl's encouragement i wouldn't have gathered enough courage to step up in the first place. I'm not that great of a person as you think.'' He spoke placing his hand on top of hers.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The woman blushed while trying to suppress her giggle. The way he humbles himself always amuses her. "Pfft...no matter what achievements you get, you sure know how to be a humble person till the very end."

The man's eyes lit up. "Shhh! Look. Its starting." he said urging her to look up in the skies.

The colors of the sealed cracks changed from black to luminescence of varying hues. A few moment afterwards the cracks shattered, enormous amounts of mana gushed forth and was released all throughout the world. The night sky was filled with brilliant display of aurora lights and the whole world aside from the surviving kingdom Avalon underwent transformation.

Terraformation.

It is a worldwide spell that summons multitude of locations across other dimensions swapping them with the ones from the world where the spell originated. In simpler words, a massive land exchange among wolds. With this they could get rid of the Worldeaters while replacing the land the have razed.

Barren lands were replaced with lush forest. Empty marshlands were changed into mountain ranges. All the lands devastated by the invasion were one by one exchanged with bountiful ones from another dimension along with the inhabitants living within it. New diversities of life were introduced to the world.

"Ah. What a marvelous sight to behold."

Seeing the guy's childish smile along with the breathtaking background behind him, weariness the girl felt earlier was lowly washed away.

"Yeah it sure is." she agreed.

Everything from here onward will depend to the relationship the Avalonians would build with those inhabitants from the other worlds. At least it should be relatively easier, since there was a reason why the spell took too much time to cast.

Normally, by default it would just randomly replace lands from the other dimensions and casting it would take no longer than quarter of a day. However the Elders had modified it by the young man's suggestion. It was made so that those relocated lands would be originating from the worlds that were also under the Worldeater's invasion before they could be all annihilated. A last resort spell not only to save the kingdom from doom but also to save other remaining races and create an alliance in the future once the Worldeaters find a way to return the this world.

"(Sigh)...but our job doesn't end here does it? Tomorrow we'll surely have more work to do."

"Nope, we're heading home."

"Huh? Aren't we going to help in building that alliance you had suggested?"

"Nah...We'll leave it up to those geezers. I believe we've done the parts we could, and lent the help more than what we were capable of. Its not a bad idea if we just silently leave and give ourselves a rewarding rest after all those hardships. Besides we haven't seen our love ones for quite a long time. They'll be worried if we still don't come back."

The lights in the sky finally began to fade. The entire transformation of the world was finally complete. The man stood and offered the woman a hand.

"Shall we get moving?"

"Yup, you got a point. the show did remove my fatigue, but I'm still starving. Lets grab a snack while we're at it."

The woman reach out for his hand and stood.

Behind them the sun has began to slowly rise from the horizon. A mark of a new beginning. A start of a new era for the world that was transformed anew. A world that would be onward called 'NeoGaea'.
