Chapter 1:
In the unending void there are many planes floating amongst the chaos energy. Each plane that floats in the void is present at different dimensions. Rarely two planes exist in the same dimension.
Every plane is of different size and laws. But there is one thing common between all the planes. They were constantly devouring the chaotic energy floating in the void.
In a void region where the chaotic energy was low there is a plane thriving on mana. The whole plane is filled with the warmth of civilization. Mana has transformed even the most hostile region into a habitable place.
In the most mana rich area a planet filled with countless storms exist. This planet is special as it alone planet. A planet with no sun to revolve around. But life due to the grace of mana exists here. There are various temples floating on the planet.
A temple is floating in the most mana rich area. A temple so huge that it can be seen when observed form space. If someone gets nearer they will get the illusion that it is a large island instead of a temple.
Inside the temple there are countless people with enough power to destroy a planet. But there is one who is the most powerful of them. In the most protected chamber an old man is meditating peacefully. One will not realize that he is facing the most powerful person on the plane. Suddenly sound of steps is heard and a young man is seen running into the room.
The young man said "Master, there is something wrong with the crysphere.”
The old man opens his eyes in shock and said “There is something wrong with the crysphere?” The surprised look quickly turns grave as he realized the gravity of the situation. He stood up and vanishes from the spot leaving no trace behind.
He appears in another tightly secured room of the temple. The room looks as if it has been made out of crystals. But strangely instead of shining and reflecting light they looked opaque. In the middle of the room a large crystal sphere is floating. Strange equipment can be seen floating around the sphere. It show the whole map of the plane with all the celestial bodies located in it.
Normally it glows with a peaceful blue light, but currently it is emitting a piercing red light. The old man walks toward the sphere in shock and puts his hand on the surface. The light of crystals flickers and the vast expanse at the edge of the plane is shown in the sphere.
Strange runic marks are present in the void and rapidly multiplying. The face of the old man becomes grim and he teleports to the place where the runic markings are present.
He raises his hand which releases a piercing golden light. But when he is about to destroy the runes a black light shoots towards him. He hurriedly dodges the strike, stopping him from destroying the runes.
He looks up to see a pair of eyes floating in the vast expanse of space. Upon looking at those eyes a realization dawns upon him. With a sorrowful face he asks “Why?”
Suddenly a rumbling sound is heard saying “Blame this upon your student!” with a voice that chills one to the spine and suddenly a vast amount of mana is emitted and the speed of creation of runes increases. Slowly they form a sphere enveloping the plane in which the planet is present.

Suddenly the plane shakes and a powerful will descends. The planar will which had been awakened because of the threat tries to destroy the runes. But as soon as it came the same black ray descends and causes the will to vanish.
The old man is filled with sorrow as he realizes that the plane consciousness has been destroyed. But when the sphere is about to complete and only a small region in front of the old man is left his expression turns ruthless and determined he screams “I REFUSEE!!”.
He raises his hand and golden light envelopes him and a scream is heard “SACRIFICE!!”
His body bursts into golden light which moves toward the circle of runes which is about to seal the last remaining area. The golden light envelops the area and starts forcing back the runes that are forming and rapidly increasing the area free form runes.
Suddenly the pair of eyes which has been watching turns blue and the runes rapidly starts to increase, forcing the golden light back. The golden light tried to struggle but in vain. The sphere rapidly forms and when it is completed a sorrowful scream is heard coming from the golden light before it vanishes.
The second the sphere is complete all the mana in the plane enveloped in it starts to move towards it. As the plane will has been destroyed nothing can force it to remain. A crystal sphere rapidly starts to form covering the whole plane.
Soon all the mana of the plane is sucked into it forming a crystal sphere having compressed mana between the two layers.
One layer is formed to stop the world from receiving outside help and the other to imprison the world inside.
Soon all the structures using mana starts to fail and a major up heaven occur on the plane. Life on inhospitable and dangerous planets vanishes without having mana to support them.
People with mana try to use it, only to realize the great weakening of its power in the low mana environment. Only some planets have life remaining on it. But the damage is so enormous that the worlds would find it difficult to thrive.
All this is watched by the pair of eyes with a look of indifference. The pair of eyes watched over the world for few centuries ensuring the decline of the worlds and the functioning of the seal. Once it was assured that the seal is functioning as per required the pair of eyes vanishes without a trace.
But unknown to it a strand of that golden light still alive. Present in the inner edge of the plane sealing layer. Absorbing the mana to recover itself and under the will of the strand of consciousness present it tries to break the inner crystal seal.
But due to its hardness it is only able to break it an inch per century even with the presence of the enormous amount of mana aiding it and without the risk of discovery by the pair of eyes.
As time passes its consciousness begins to fade. So it uses its memories as fuel to make the strand remain.
First it converted all the events it has experienced since birth.
Then it used its knowledge of paths that are likely to end.
It consumed its memories till only the important knowledge remained. It only remembered the paths that do not require mana to maintain strength, the planes enemy and the reason for the sealing.
Many millenniums passed by and the outside world has changed drastically. Finally one day a crack appears in the plane layer of the seal. Allowing the mana to once flow in the plane and the amount of slowly starts increasing allowing the being the possibility of harnessing its power once again.
Due to the flow of mana the amount of cracks in the crystal starts increasing rapidly. Soon a golden light is seen coming out from the crack and a golden ray of light finally comes out and starts hovering in the space.
Suddenly it splits into two, the consciousness of the old man present in the light moving towards the worlds, to see the changes that have occurred in the past millenniums and to help the magic users rise again.
While the other part moves towards the crack with only one goal engraved in it to crack the remaining inner seal and increase the mana in the plane. It starts directing the mana that is cracking the crystal to destroy it faster. Both the strands have split but they have one goal for their existence.
Their goal is to make the world stronger and become strong enough to make the people who ruined their world pay and have their REVENGE
