In the beginning there was void and nothing else, no energies, no matter, no souls and no Gods! But then in a cascade of light and dark the universe came to be, bringing everything into existence including being born in the light who had great power. These beings would eventually be called Gods.
At first the beings were barely self aware, a consciousness but with no knowledge, instincts or ability to think. As time went by these being learnt about the universe the were the residence of, interacted with each other, becoming more self aware and some fully sentient.
Over the first few millennial of the universe all the being became fully aware as well as discover who they were, as well as their powers they possessed. It was during this time of discovery that every single god had their first, instinctual earning, this was to come together and create a world and fill it with life. None new were it came from and many wondered, but not one of them decided not to do it. Together the then made the world. Pleased with their creation they called it Erial.
As time passed the sentient races were created, and the gods Guided them, they created kingdoms, discovered their own power to manipulate mana and advances their culture, thriving and happy the gods were content but this was not to last.
The Gods were brought into existence in the light, but unknown to them other being came to be from the dark, light cannot exist without darkness. The beings of the dark kept themselves hidden within it watching the Gods create Erial, and after watching the sentient races exist with only light, their first desire came to them, to full the world with darkness. They revealed themselves and started to manipulate the world with darkness.
This enraged the Gods of light and incited a war of light vs dark, and eventually caused the distraction of Erial, which in turn disturbed the only being who existed before everything came to be, from its slumber, void itself awoke for the first time since the Gods came to be. Void was neither of the light or of the dark, so when discovering what had come to pass during his slumber, was completely neutral in his thoughts. Seeing what had been created then destroyed by them angered him greatly, so immediately he subdued every being of light and darkness.
After his anger subsided, he set rules for them, they were not allowed to fight each other, directly or indirectly. The ones born of light must make a plane where they will exist and so must the ones of darkness. He then told them to recreate the world, but both light and dark can exist on this world.
Void then released them, and for the first time in their lives all of the Gods, both light and dark felt fear and realised they weren't the most powerful beings in this universe.
So what Void asked was done, a new world was created, they called it Turria and both light and dark ruled over it, after a few millennia the Mortals referred to those of Light as Gods and those of Darkness Evil Gods.

The Vlyrx are now virtually extinct, the reason is unknown to any but the few surviving members of the Vlyrx. It is speculated there was a war causing the destruction of virtually the whole of their race!]

(Ullr POV, Unknown forest in unknown kingdom)
After I left the Elven forest I ran non stop for near on 24 hours. A few hours after I left I realised they might send people after me, to try and prevent this I started changing directions at random times, but o always made sure I was traveling away from the forest. Being a good tracker myself I knew this wouldn't fool experienced trackers, so I also used force jump now and then. I can jump around 300m without exerting myself too much, even if this didn't stop them it would really slow them down!
Once I slowed my pace to a walk, I thought about how I got here and where here is. Last thing I remember before waking up in the Elven prison, was Kara's light sword piercing my body, as well as the pain I felt. After that not much as I was losing consciousness but I do recall a flash of light, and then next thing I know I am waking up back there.
Still with no idea what happened, so I decide to find the closest city, find out where I am, quickly earn some money and then leave this planet, and find somewhere I can live in peace!
I carry on traveling at a slower pace. Around noon two days after I come across the first settlement. It is a small farming village, there are only a few dozen building and about 100 residents, give or take a few. The main aspect of the village is it looks like a medieval village from Earth, only difference being the buildings decent construction.
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
Despite finding the village, I did not enter it to avoid unnecessary problems. I carried on traveling my mind more occupied with now more questions! From what I could see, this village had absolutely no technology. Now I have been to many very remote places but even they had some form of tec. This village seemed to look like it had the same tec as a medieval village from earth!
3 Days of more walking before I come across a much bigger settlement, and it was the same as before. I really could not rap my head around it! How and why did they not have any tec? Is this a pre space travel world? How did I get here?
It has been a day since I passed the second settlement, I am now in a forest and have stopped to rest and try to work out what is going on. I get a fire going and decide to meditate, hoping it will help revel what has happened to me.
I sit down and take the lotus position, closing my eyes I empty my mind and focus on the force that flows around me. Not long after I start I realise something does not feel right with the force, there is something else there, increasing my concentration I focus on this difference hoping to find out what it is and why it is there.
I don't know how long it took but finally I succeeded in pinpointing the anomaly, and start to explore what it is. As my conscientiousness reaches out to it, my mind is filled with information in the form of a vision! (A/N. The vision only reveals that he was transported to a different universe. He does not know anything about the gods that blessed him or he was summoned as a hero.)
As the vision ends, and I remember everything that happened I slump down on the floor. My breathing is erratic and I am covered in sweat, but there is a smile on my face. I now know I am in a different world and the anomaly I can feel in the force is mana, this is a world of magic! No more constant looking over my shoulder, no Kara hunting me and no Order to force their ideals on me!
As I sit there contemplating what I just learnt, I start to feel a strange but familiar feeling spreading through me. It takes a few minutes for me to recognise it as I have not felt it in a very long time, I feel free. Complete and utter freedom, I can go where I like and live peacefully without fear. The only problem is that the elves might be hunting me, but as I didn't kill any of them I hope if they do fine me, they are willing to talk as well as accept my apology.
Unsure what to do now I know my situation, I decide to carry on traveling and let the force guide me.
For the next few days I walk only stoping to sleep, eat and relieve myself. During that time I don't come across a single person. Admittedly I am not traveling by road but I did come across many roads and paths that looked well used. It didn't especially bother me but it did feel a bit odd.
It is early afternoon of the fourth day, it is a bit cold so I have the hood of my cape up as well as a scarf I found in the pack the elves gave me, rapped around my neck and pulled up over the lower part of my face. I am walking across grassland, to my right is a forest and to my left in the distance I can see a large lake. It is a beautiful sight.
Over the last few days I thought about what I am going to do and how I am going to live in this new world. Everything is new and unknown to me and a part of me wants to travel and see what this world has to offer, but not now.
As I have more or less zero knowledge on how society works or what is normal proceedings. If I set off without knowing how things work, I would stick out like a saw thumb, and more than likely end up getting caught up in something troublesome.
So in the end I decided to try and find a peaceful area near a village or small town to build a house. I would hunt my own food and sell anything extra and the pelts to the nearby village, as well as learning about the people of this world and what's normal! I also hope to find a spot near a river, small lake or stream so I can do some fishing.
Incase your wondering why fishing, my only memory of my Earth Father, was him taking me fishing. He died soon after and as my mother died in childbirth I went to an orphanage. But I always loved fishing as it was associated with pleasant memories.
The other thing I would do is improve my understanding of the force as well as try to master all my second parents taught me. Eventually I will go and see the world and all its wonders, but for now I am looking for a place I can live on my own in peace!
As I continued enjoying the view before me, I started to feel a little hungry, unfortunately two days ago the supplies I was given ran out. Luckily water wasn't an issue as there were a fair number of streams and springs I could fill my canteen at. For food I hunted some small game as I traveled, thankfully a large quantity of salt was packed so I could preserve what I didn't eat. Reaching into my pack I removed some of what I preserved, unwrapped it and stared eating it. The meat was from some sort of bird that was the size of a pheasant but it had more of a beefy taste. As I put the last bit in my mouth, a noise echoed through the forest.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH" I scream filled with terror, this did not come from an animal, it was from a girl.
I froze completely, not even blinking. A battle was going on in my head, part of me didn't want to get involved as it would definitely cause problems. The other part compelled me to help, at least it showed I still had a part of me that cared! After a few more seconds I decided.
"Ahh fuck it!" I turned and sprinted full speed towards where the scream came from and trying to sense where she is.
