Chapter 2: A new world.
Where am I? Who are these people? and why is that man shouting at me? He looked around him only to find himself in an abandoned building.
” Put your hands up in the air now!”
The men surrounding him were holding what seemed to be mechanical weapons and wearing strange uniform clothes.
“Why should I raise my hands in the air?”
“You are under arrest, now do not resist!.”Arrest?!, I did nothing yet in this world!.
“What are my crimes?”
“You have yet to commit any crime but your kind has caused more than enough damage to put you under suspension!”
Huh, my kind? The sage looked at his skin only to find it jet black, so because I am made of obsidian, I’m now a criminal? you’re gonna be speciesist?
He looked back at the speciesist man “rude”
“Now surrender, demon! Or we will open fire!” Demon? o how dare you. “Enough!” Yelled the sage, sending out a wave of mana, stunning all of them and using hands made of glass to take all their weapons. “You dare call me something's vile as a demon, Do you wish for death you lesser ant, for I will happily kill you and all who hold your bloodline, and with how horribly inbreed all of you look it seems I will have to slaughter all the humans in this world, so kneel before I make right of my words.” All his words were bubbling with rage and killing intent. The soldiers fell to the ground, pressure released from the sage too great for them to bear. Just then a woman came into the building, she is, by all means, a blonde beauty nothing compared to wifey
” Please forgive them, sir.” she asked while bowing to him
” Who are you? and why should I.”
” I am Einlina Ovastrecov, an awakened and the leader of this task force and it seems there is a mistake element king.”
King? What in the world does she mean?
” Tell me Einlina, what is this all About, why are you here to arrest me?”
” The magic Sensor picked up a very high reading of unknown mana, in fear of another great catastrophe we moved to intercept and buy time for a more ready force to arrive.”
” And the arrest?”
” such is the protocol when dealing with humanoids”
” Very well now out of my sight, I have no time for your useless games and protocol, it's not like you have anything I need.”
And so, the sage left the room.
======POV: Einlina=====
And so the jet black child left the room, yet Einlina could not stop sweating. Different from her subordinates she can see things for what they truly are, she does not know where the knowledge comes from; only that it is the undeniable truth.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
That kid was the highest class of elemental possible an element king. Humanity as they are can't afford the wrath of such beings. But he seemed to have a purpose different from the other intelligent creatures who came through these gates as they have come to be called. What does he want? I wonder if we can't let him simply be, why won’t the leaders won't allow such?
“Erik, follow him but do not interfere” she ordered her subordinate.
“Yes mam”
This is going to be a mess I feel it
====POV: glass sage ====
Mana levels are awful, people are inbred, and everyone is looking at me weird. Seems that they don't have this new skin tone in this world, and so the sage went into an alleyway to change his appearance back to its original. How? Glass has colors too ya know.
Changing his skin into stained glass and choosing his original skin tone. “Now time to find her”
His heartbeat a happy song as he placed his hand on it
our love undying, hearts connected, our souls tied together through the magic of old. O one who my entire being criers your name at its every waking moment, answer my plea and guide my way
Finally found you.
He spread four wings of glass and jumped into the night sky and flew at great speed towards the east. Just above the sea, he saw a glowing figure far away coming towards him at a speed he cannot match. She came close enough that he could see her face, tears started flowing out of his glass eyes; it's not like she was any better.
He spread his arms and she slowed down only stopping with her arms around him and his around her.
“I’m sorry, I'm so sorry Matt, I was tricked!”
Matthew holds his love closer
“It’s okay Leia, it's all over now, we can finally be together.”
She simply continued crying in his chest but now she seemed far more relaxed.
He took a look at his wife once again after a long time.
Her hair was as perfect as it always was but simply shorter, her blue eyes captured his heart as they always did. Yet when he looked at her to find her only wearing pajamas and she was definitely smaller,
“Love, did you shrink?”
she gave him a cold glare
“as if you’re any better”
He gave her a deep grin “well I evolved what do you have to show I wonder”
“no way …… WHAT, HOW?”
His answer was a mighty shit-eating grin
“A long story, far too long to be told in the air.”
He said gesturing to the sky around them
She grins and offers a challenge. “then how about the bottom of the sea.”
“Well, you’re in luck because I am now capable of going far deeper than the bottom of the ocean” and so Matt wrapped them in a bubble of his mana then made it solidify into dwarven glass, the one perfect for this task. Now encased in a dome of glass they dropped into the bottom of the sea.
To stop the ever-encroaching darkness, Leia shaped her mana into a tiny yet dense orb that began shining like a star in the middle of the glass dome
The bubble, after an hour, reached the bottom of the ocean, then expanded into an enormous dome, the glass moved and pushed the waters around and formed chairs, tables, and chandeliers, that were lit up using the magic of the star saint. They then sat down “So what happened after I was thrown through that hole asked Leia.
“Both our families destroyed each other like we both predicted, well more like I destroyed both when I was filled with rage.” matt shrugged
“Well I kinda expected that like what in the fuck where they thinking,” Leia said with a sigh
“So how have you been in this world, anything you would like to share?” Asked matt with interest
“Well from what I gathered and it's something you’re probably thinking about, mana is something invasive to this world, it seems that when I was thrown into it the passageway was imperfectly closed, cussing cracks that mana slipped through”
She moved her mana to help with explanations
“That explains why technology is far more widespread instead of magitech.”
“Yes, add to that the fact that magic is being kept a secret from the public and it becomes painfully clear how ruined this world has become because of those idiots”
“Demons are being born I guess huh this world is fucked if they don't do something about magic Research”
Demons born of the world to process Miasma into mana
But because of that fact demons are simply far more powerful than humans, add the fact that they see themselves as the chosen race, and you start seeing why humans and demons are like cats and dogs.
“This world is so fucked we better just live on the bottom of the ocean and let them destroy themselves”
“Uhhhh about that,” said Leia, seemingly apprehensive about telling him something.
“What in the law god's name have you done this time.” Said Matt with a glare all too familiar to Leia, after all, it's the look he gave her every time she complicated things.
