In the vast expanse that covered everything and all things, possibility was not mere chance but a law which compelled the Omni-compendium of Totality.
Among the endless infinities that overlapped and each ascended the last one by a never ending margin, in a space that went even beyond space and time as well as the dimensions that composed, transcending them completely.
One of many worlds, a number of them that would not stop, no matter how hard one tried to reach the last, there was no such thing. Then again, possibility is a law, so who could ever tell?
The world in question had received a name long forgotten to most, Origo-Α~Ω. However, language has always been serving of the people, and as such has changed in accordance to them, so the past that was left behind had no meaning or bearing in the world of today.
As far as it concerned the people, the world they've known their whole life, the planet in which they reside has one name, and that's Revastellia.
Found the Omniverse of Totality, in one of inifinite Megaverses, the one known as 0-I, a Multiverse among endless ones, by the name of Mur-phy, contained a universe of a never ending amount of them, this one referred to as Primum.
From there in Primum a supercluster known as Atom,of a countless number of them, supported an infinity of galaxy filaments that had endless galaxy clusters, which boosted a never ending amount of Star Systems with infinite Stellar Associations, that contained endless solar systems with just as many planetary systems.
All that considered, in a cosmic web of never ending timelines, and that made everything that beings as insignificant as mortals experienced seem… Well, infinitesimal.
However, even still, the mortals keep going with their existence, most completely ignorant to how truly small they were, but even a lot of those who not only knew, they even understood what that meant, and yet…
Life moved on.
Even something a small as the elementary principles: quarks, lepsons, and bosons, did their part in maintaining everything, what was to say mortals didn't have a similar effect?
In the end, it was all but a matter of prespetive.
Such was the mindset adopted by a man who's soul was rather old, well at least from a human point of view, and a young body viewed through that same lenses.
This young man, was named Nirko.
Born and raised in a planet known as Revastellia, in the continent of 15 called Myrthana, boasting three Kingdoms, Thaloria, Eldaria, and Solaria.
Having lived barely just 18 years of his life as an Eldarian in the central Kingdom of Eldaria. Taking residence in his home village of Burdant, located to the Southeast side of the Verdant Forest, somewhere not quite at the edge or the center, a sort of in between of the two.
The secluded and self sustaining village, existed completely isolated from the outside world.
It was circular in shape, and surrounded by e 4.5 meters(15 feet) tall thick wooden wall, roped together with vines.
Boasting a population of around 200 people having about 53 wooden houses arranged in a similar circular structure, around the water well in the center of the village, just where gatherings, trade, and activities would take place.
This only had two exceptions to this being an area used by children to play known as the playground, the livestock area containing chickens, goats, and pigs, and then there were the crops which included wheat, barley, and vegetables that even had a hill next to them just inside the village.
The biggest house belonged to the village head, the houses mostly consisting of 3 to 8 rooms, except for the village head's house which had 10.
These houses tended to be adorned with carvings of animals, magical beasts, and even monsters at times. The houses also had straw and reeds built into them with the timber in order to keep safe from the elements.
When it came to the interior of said houses, it was similar for most with wooden furniture including: tables, chairs, beds to be found in every house. As well as hearhs for them to stay warm and cook meals.
Back to the wooden walls, they had a singular wooden gate between the north and east watch towers. While outside pitfalls and wooden barricades could be found to keep things secure.
Those same towers being at the north, west, south, and east of the village and standing at 6 meters(20 feet) tall. Each equipped with wooden signal horns, and basic wooden bow and arrows.
All that aside, the village had a church, a healing shop or clinic, a farm, a blacksmith, a tailor, and the hunters squad building.
-Year 718, Month of War(10 of 23), 28th day(Last day of the month)-
In a day like any other, in a wooden room with a bed, a variety of wooden tools could be found laying organized on the floor. Some of had used rock as a sort of weight and had vines as rope included in them.
The space was clean and there was an individual inside.
"101, 102, 103…" A young man with purple hair said as he lowered himself toward the ground, arms bending at the elbows as his chest hovered just above the wooden floor.
His muscles strained with the effort, veins standing out against his skin, yet he maintained his form with practiced ease.
The repetition continued until it was over.
"200. That's it. I'm done for today." Nirko had who had just finished his physical training and let out a sigh, as he got up and stretched his body.
Then a silver floating screen appeared before his eyes carrying written words as a voice resounded in his mind.
[Well done! It's honestly impressive to see you actually keep this up for years, every day. I guess it's like you said, you have Inept resilience whatever that means.] Aeonis could not contain how impressive d she was having followed all his life in Revastellia.
"Of course, I do. I have tone the strongest if I want to keep everything together and protect what matters. Plus, I have a harem to build, a territory to start and build, as well as Celestials to destroy…" He said with a smile, but as he got to the last part, the smile disappeared and a look filled with pure bloodlust infected his expression carrying a deep sadism behind it.
[Yeah… Just take it ease. We can think about that when the time comes. For now how about we rest a bit and then continue the day. Even though you wake up at 2 in the morning to do this, the days has 33 hours so better be ready for the 25 hours left.] Aeonis didn't comment on his look, instead choosing to focus on the day ahead as she spoke s cheerfully.
"Yup. Great point." Nirko nodded as the sweat dripped of his body.
Right then, he walked up to his bed, and lay on it letting himself take in the gains.
Over the years he had grown, and his body getting close to its full maturity now that he was 18.
His purple hair hagd grown and he tied it up in a ponytail rather then cutting, so it reached his lower back now. While his rose quartz eyes had a deep glow to them, almost hypnotic with how much they pop off under his purple eye brows, and call to attention.
Then there was his face that had grown to be sharper and much better defined then before, but kept some of the feminine traits it had giving a pretty boy look, with an arched nose and ears propertonal to his face.
Finally got the face there was his smooth skin seemingly unaffected by puberty, and his lips just full enough to look symmetrical to his face, his upper lip being darker with the lower one is more pinkish.
After that, there was his body, which stayed turned to and stayed im peak condition from his consistent physical training. His shoulders were broad, and the muscles in his body compacted not buff or big just muscular and lean. It was to the point his athletic physique would be unoticeble to most under clothes.
If anything could be pointed out as his major weak point physically at least in terms of attractiveness to the general female public, it was his height standing at only 165cm(5'4 feet).
As he breathed tired from the training his 8 pack would rise and go down, while the pants he was wearing hugged his legs due to his physique.
His current training routine involved 200 pushups, 100 pull ups, 300 squats, 30 bench press, 30 deadlifts, run a marathon(40km/26 miles) at his high speed, 100 box ups, 300 burpees, 30 minutes of plank, 500 sit ups, dynamic stretching for 60 minutes, and static stretching for 120 minutes.
Aside from that would sneak out and go to a river he found to swim multiple kilometers(miles) without rest in one go and then go climbing the equivalent before coming back.
Today he ended his physical training with pushups, and after taking a minute to breathe and rest, he got up from his bed and went to the bathroom to bathe in the bathtub he built for the house, using he an animal pelt towel, and the body wash as well as shampoo he recreated with Aeonis' help.
Once he was done and mostly dried himself with the towel, it was time to leave the bathroom, so he had the towel wrapped around his waist, the hummid near wet hair clinging onto his back and face as he walked out of the bathroom, his right hand on the handle of the opening door.
"Heehh!…" A voice could be heard carrying the panick and surprise of the scream, and while not the loudest it of course caught the attention of the purple haired young man it was directed towards.
Then a purple floating screen appeared out thin air in front of his eyes. A female mechanical voice ringing in his mind as the words said stood right there.
[Affection -3] Under the message the affection meter could be seen going down from 45 to 42.
So, Nirko turned to see a familiar face backed against the wall right in front of the bathroom, holding her towel to her face maybe to cover the embarrassment or it was simply due to the response of being caught off guard.
It was one of his two older sisters, Marina.
She was a young woman with Short neck length purple hair, and sharp pink eyes, the most similar to her own brother in terms of looks in the whole family. Her face was sharp but soft and more delicate much softer than his.
In terms of physique, it would be a bit much to say she was muscular, but she was definitely fit, and quite tall standing at 185cm(6 feet). Having a rather vuluptous body to match with a DD chest, and a rear to match. Not quite as well endowed as their mother, but she was bigger than most.

Then there was clothing, of which she was wearing what she wore at home, her home outfit which was a beige T-shirt and a purple long maxi skirt, accompanied by brownish slippers.
"What are you doing?" Nirko raised an eyebrow looking at his sister almost confused, though he understood she got startled by him.
"Huh… *Sigh*… It's you. You can't scare your big sister like that! I have big sister rights, I can scare you not the other way around." As soon as she took in the information and understood what just happened, the panic went away with a sigh.
Only for it to be followed by her walking up to him with the towel in her hand, and putting her free hand on his chest, tapping it as she talked a blush present in her face.
(Adorable! My sisters are all too cute.) Nirko smiled internally as he watched her.
Moving her hand gently away from him, the young man shook his head.
"You lost those privileges when you became a nun even after I asked you not to me, plus you got scared all on your own." Nirko said with a smile and turned to walk away.
Just as she was walking away, she grabbed his hand to stop him.
"I'm a priestess! Not a nun! Plus! You can't actually still mad about that! You're not a kid anymore, and I'll do what I want." Marina pulled him to stop, a serious expression beginning to fork into a frown as his words hit her as unpleasant.
Turning his head to face her, the purple haired young man answered.
"Ok… Miss priestess, It's on me for not wanting you near that pastor guy, he's definitely up to something. But like you said, you can do whatever you want, you're a grown woman, and as a grown man, I choose to be petty, so please let me go." Nirko narrowed his eyes and his left eye twitch at mentioning the pastor, as his feelings towards the matter were evident in his displeased expression.
Rolling her eyes Marina pulled him closer by his hand so they were face to face, as she looked down at him.
Another purple floating screen appeared.
[Affection -22] It kept decreasing and he could see the meter go from 42 to 20.
[Your relationship with individual Marina(Older Sister-Bio) has gone down from Stable to Normal]
"Hmph! Then whatever! I thought my cute little brother would be more supportive, but I guess you want to be an asshole! Have fun not having the best older sister ever!" She let go of him clearly disappointed, and even stops to look at him for a few seconds before letting go of his hand then slamming the bathroom door shut.
This left Nirko in silence for a few seconds before he went back to his room and started getting dressed.
[Nirko, maybe it would have been best to just support her decision for now and be there if it goes wrong. She has always been open about wanting to be a healer.] Aeonis said just as he was done getting dressed.
Having a long black coat over a white beige dress shirt, and black trousers accompanied by black boat shoes with beige socks. The young man sighed as he finished adjusting the clothes to his body.
(If she really wanted to learn healing magic, she could have done what i did and gone to the healing shop to become an apprentice there, so there was no need to join the church as a priestess.) He shook his head unconvinced by her words.
[That's unfair to your sister, not only would it taken her until now before she could even cast her first spell, You know she really believes in the Gods and Spirits.
[I know you have a grudge against the Celestial but not all non mortal beings are like that, and you know it. You have me.] Aeonis insisted feeling that he was being unfair in his treatment of the situation.
(That's true, and I'm not mad because it's the church, sure I don't like it, but I really just hate that priest. He gives Marina similar looks to the ones the teacher has been giving Genely for a while now. I know perversion when I see it.
(As a perverse man, I spend a lot of time having thoughts, but I don't like to violate the freedom of others with no real reason behind it, so I keep to myself for the most part, but those two, they seem to have trouble doing just that.) Nirko explained his reasons not backing down from his stance at all.
[… Still, you shouldn't be that way to your sister for it, it's not her fault.] Aeonis softened a bit as she heard him, but still insisted on making her point clear.
(… I guess, you have a point. I'll apologize to her later, and be nicer about my concerns.) Nirko who was solely focused on protecting Marina seemed to have forgotten about her feelings.
[Nice, thanks for understanding. I know you mean well, but you're being way too rough about it.] Aeonis sighs in relief as she speaks, feeling much better about the situation now.
Being done with that, Nirko left his room again and went to the dining table in the living room, where his family was having breakfast.
Seeing him come in his mother waves her hand at him.
"Oh, Morning! Nicky! You're just in time for breakfast." Amora said he scarlet hair on her back as her deep ruby eyes looked at him, a smile plastered on her face as she did so.
The G cup melons on her chest confined by the apron dress she was sporting, the apron being white and the dress itself gray. It didn't stop there as she had a rear to match making it hard for the chair to hold holding a large part of her round gluteus was spilling. The sandals on her feet hidden under the dress.
In terms of physique she was not quite fit, as she had some fat to her, but not much, only the average degree for a woman. Only adding to her thick look that could have most men willing to marry on the spot on looks alone.
Whoever saw her would not be able to tell that she was in fact a middle aged woman in her early forties.
Soon before Nirko could reply however, his father figure, in the form a futa, spoke up.
"Look at you, boy! You were this size yesterday and now you can do way more work than your pops! I raised you and now you want to take over my place, how evil the cycle of life is! Hahaha." Loralaine said with a laugh as she looked at Nirko with a warm smile, her long ocean blue cascaded and almost reach the floor at ankle length, while her pink eyes were darker than her son's eyes.
The c cup chest she had was modest but well rounded under the plain brownish T-shirt she was wearing, and the blue trousers matched her with the brown loafers she was wearing.
In terms of physique as the main worker of the fields with her son, she was quite muscular and quite a bit more buff than him, though her muscles were much less defined his.
Having a rear that matches her chest, it was also hard to have any idea she was in her mid forties.
"Morning, Mom, morning, Dad. Morning girls." Nirko takes a sit to Loralaine's left on the 8 seat table.
Meanwhile Amora sat across from Loralaine on the other edge of the table. On Loralaine's right and across from Nirko, was Marina the eldest sister, and next to her was another sister.
This one had long purple hair around the middle back length, and red eyes, her chest being a modest cup B, similar rear, and her physique the most openly and evidently muscular of the house.
And when it came to clothes, she were brown overalls with a white T-shirt. While her feet wore brown boots.
"At least greet us properly." Bonnie complained as she looked at her bother on the other side of the table, a slight unpleasantness presence in her face.
"Morning, Bonbon." Nirko smiled looking at his sister with a a slight smug.
"Morning, Nicky…" She rolled her eyes at the way he addressed her a bit annoyed at his attitude but nothing too serious.
[Affaction -1] That was until he received that notification and see it go down from 17 to 16.
(Just what did I do to piss her off?) Nirko found himself confused.
[Its probably something outside your control, don't worry too much about it, so long as it's not a negative number you're fine.] Aeonis reassured him seeing his worries.
"…Morning…" Marina then replied in a dry tone not even bothering to look at Nirko as she did so.
"Morning! Nicky!" One of his two younger sister, Millie was the one to speak, a wide smile on her face as she responded, waving at him enthusiastically.
Though she was only 2 seats to Nirko's right, it would voice like she was far if one could not see her.
The E cups on her chest jiggled slightly due to the motion, as she wore a scarlet sun dress acompanied by red slippers.
Her physique rather average with a bit of fat here and there, though she was overall average in that regard, and her rear could keep up with her mountains as it was rather flat.
"Morning." Sera, the last sister gave him a neutral greeting and focused on eating breakfast.
She had straight long hair and turquoise eyes. Wearing a beige blouse and a bluish long skirt with brown sandals.
Her chest an A cup, but her rear the opposite being quite thick giving her a pear or triangle-like body. Due to her average physique, that was as much as could be said.
The breakfast in family was abundant with vegetables, eggs, milk, and fruit all present in the table as they all ate together.
Once it was over, the first to leave, were Marina who left for the church and Bonnie who went to the blacksmith shop.
While Millie, and Sera left for school, Nirko stayed behind to help his parents, mostly Loralaine with the crops, and livestock, but he also spent some time helping with chores.
This was mostly his duty since he didn't have a job yet, as he became an adult the prior day, and was going to have to wait until the hunter trials come for him to become one.
Being used to this, Nirko had an easy time tending to the fields and doing his part, it was to the point he was at times more efficient than even the animals in certain tasks.
"You're something, kid. There's no doubt about it, you're made to be a hunter. I think you might even be able to become the chief hunter someday… Hahaha, I shouldn't be planting ideas in your head, sorry." Loralaine stopped her work to see her son, and she could not fully believe her eyes even now.
Her son's physical prowess was something else and before she knew it, Loralaine found herself saying more than she should. So she covered her mouth and apologized with a weak smile.
"I'll do it just for you, Dad. Don't worry it." Nirko smiled fully confident in his words as he said so.
"Hehehe, look at you all full of yourself. Not bad though, that's a good spirit. I guess some of my charm did rub off on you. Can you back it up, though?" Loralaine walked to to him and put her arm around his shoulder pulled him close as she spoke with a smile and a slight blush in her face.
"I know I can do it. Just trust me." Nirko nodded not a hint of worry.
"In that case, go help your mom inside. You've done enough for me out here." Patting his back strongly, Loralaine sent him off to go back inside the house.
This left her by herself with the crops and animals.
"So strong, and a little too full of himself… To be young. Still, I didn't need such a handsome son! It's torture when he's so helpful!
"It's not fair even if it's my fault for having being a beauty… But I wonder if they'll find him?… Us? Before the time has come… Oh well, I can worry about that another time, I work to do." Loralaine complained to the air, before sighing and stopping to wonder with a serious expression, which was soon shaken off, she she continued her work.
Meanwhile inside the house, Amora was cleaning with her son's help.
To help her clean the roof he was lifting her up by her waist carrying her weight with relative ease, before putting her down as soon as it was over.
"Thanks for the help… You've really grown into a strong young man. But still so cute." Amora pulled his cheek as she spoke warm smile on her face.
"No problem, Mom. Do you need help with anything else?" Nirko smiled despite the disliking of having his face pulled like that.
"Hmmm, actually I want to talk to you." She grabbed his hand and walked to the dining table then pulled two chairs for them to sit.
"What is it, Mom?" Nirko sat in the chair across from her, as he asked.
"Do you really want to become a hunter? I know you said you did and all, but are you really sure?" Amora asked her expression turned serious as she looked him in the eyes.
"Yes, I'm absolutely sure." Nirko nodded his eyes glued to hers.
"It's so dangerous though, and I want to to understand, really. Most of the deaths we have are people who join the hunter squad. There's a reason their members tend to stay the same with little change for a long time." Amora said watching him and his every reaction closely looking for any signs of hesitation she can cling onto.
"The newbie almost always all die in the their hunt or first few hunts. I know. I've paying attention and working for this. I won't back down, and I understand it's dangerous." Nirko made his stance very clear as maintained the eyes contact.
Looking away with a sigh Amora let herself fall back into the chair. There was a certain air of disappointment in her eyes, but it soon softened as she got up, before walking to him, and kissing his forehead, then hugging him tight.
"I wanted to be mad and yell that you can't, that you're my baby and all that stuff, but I know that won't stop you and probably only make you mad at me. I don't want that. I just want you to be safe and happy. Can you at least do that for your Mother?
"I know it's unfair to ask, but sometimes parents are like this, we make unreasonable requests because we believe in you so much… Maybe too much sometimes." She expressed with a weak smile as a few tears escaped her eyes, but she never stopped hugging him.
"I promise. I'll stay as safe as I can, and as happy as I can. I can't promise I won't find danger or ever be unhappy, but I can promise I'll find a way around both. I'll always eventually come home, that's my promise." Nirko got up and retributed the hug holding her tight and letting her cry a little with him.
That lasted a while, as she let out her emotions and he just accepted them in silence.
Then she finally let go off him, and he cleaned her tears away with his fingers, which prompted her to say.
"You're amazing and I know you'll be fine, but I can't help it. I'm still your mother, I'll always be worried. That's something I can never be sorry for." Amora smiled lightly feeling a bit better even if the internal feeling didn't go away, she choose to trust in him.
"Thanks, Mom. It's nice in a way. Even if a bit annoying at times." Nirko admits with a smile on his face.
"Calling your Mom, annoying?! I guess you don't care about me anymore now that you're all grown up, you break my old heart." Amora began faking heartbreak at his words.
This forced Nirko to hug her and pamper her until she was satisfied, and let him go.
"What a needy, Mother…" He murmured to himself as he was leaving the house.
[She's just worried. It will be fine once you complete the hunter trial successfully, and go on a few hunts. It won't go away fully, but it will definitely ease up.] Aeonis said to him.
(Yeah, you're probably right.) Nirko nodded feeling a bit less nervous about having to deal with so much emotion.
[So, are you going to get Genely from school, again?] Aeonis asked as he started making his way through the Burdant village.
(Of course, I'll keep doing it until she's 18 in 13 months. She did say she likes it.) Nirko responded calmly.
[Look at you so dedicated. How adorable.] Aeonis said with a mischievous tone.
(Don't start. I just don't have too much else to do while I wait for he hunter trial ok!) Nirko pouted at her words.
[Hahaha, look at you. You're normally unfazed by teasing, but look at you now. So cute!!!] Aeonis continue her teasing pushing some more.
This caused Nirko to go silent as he walked with a blush on his face, as Aeonis continued to 'bully' him nonstop the whole way.
