Jack awoke with someone shouting from outside his house and his mother trying to explain something, this was leaving him just barely awoke but when a loud rumble coming from the front door and his mother screaming afraid made him awake, but it wasn’t him, his iris was different and this is impossible since no one can have the same iris as another person and unless there is medical intervention the iris won’t change. “Jack” walked slowly to the front door but everyone stopped, they could feel the presence emanating from him, it isn’t something a normal person have, it is the presence of in the top and when he appeared they all gulped when they looked at him.
- Back off – He said with an imposing voice that made the people who tried to invade his home flinch – You lowly beings who can’t even do things on their own and depend on the strength of a group are a shame to your race – “Jack” said while looking at then but his tone of voice quickly changed when he looked at “his” mother and saw her hurt, his iris changed again but this time even their color changed to a more reddish color which made everyone who invaded his home feel an instinctive fear, a primal fear that a prey has when it encounters an Apex Predator. He charged with a flying kick at the three first people and when he arrived at the ground, he did a sweep kick knocking out another three people, he lifted up doing an upper cut while jumping and when he started falling again, he trampled on someone head smashing it on the ground, then he roared:
- Who dared do this to my mom – When he looked around looking for answers, he found everyone on the street looking at him fearful, as if they are looking at a monster, then he looked at the people he hit and he noticed something that he normally shouldn’t, the people who where hit by his flying kick were all unconscious on the ground with skull fractures, the people who were hit bit his sweep kick had their tibia fractured, the person he did an upper cut at had their chin bones broken and the person who he trampled on it’s head had his entire skull fractured and all this fractures in his region costed a lot to treat at the doctor. Seeing all this he quickly came back and his iris came back to normal so he went running back to his home and left the people the invaded his home in the street, then he quickly searches for a first aid box and treated his mother who is shocked at what she saw but the first thing she said wasn’t anything involved with the situation that she just witnessed, it is something that Jack didn’t understand at first:
- What is this black thing in your clothes and body? – She asked pointing to some black stain at his clothes.
- Which black thing? – He said but when he looked at his clothes, he quickly became surprised to what he saw – What is this???
In his clothes and body, it had black stains with a bad smell and he didn’t have any idea of what it could be but the system quickly replied to him:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the impurities released by your body after using the Elixir-Fruit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Is this ease to remove from my clothes? – He asked in thought to not startle his mother.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be easily removed with water
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I don’t know what this is but I will try to clean this after I am done helping you – He said in a tender voice since he is worried for his mother well-being.
- Ok dear – His mother said and let herself be treated. When Jack finished, he quickly left by the back door and searched for a river in the wilderness outside his house. He found a river but there he also found his neighbor Mary taking a dive nude, okay when they were kids, they even bathed together but now she is a grown-up woman, okay she also has only eighteen (18) but this is still the minimum age to be considered an adult on most countries, so when he saw her, he quickly sneaked out but she smelled him:
- You didn’t take a bath or what? – She said joking since she could recognize that it is Jack just by the way he sneaks but when she looked at his direction, she became surprised with the black stains all over his clothes and skin but when she was going to ask him what this was, he quickly while saying:
- Sorry Mary, I need to go – He ran so fast that he even surprised himself but this isn’t what is most important to him – How can she be so beautiful??? – He asked himself while blushing and she was thinking something similar:
- Hehe how cute, he still can’t handle me being nude – She said this but she also blushed and submerged herself in the river. Now back to Jack he stopped running beside a river and submerged himself to clean himself and asked the system:
- Okay, my body becoming stronger is a result of it being purified and these black stains are the impurities that my body released what about my mind? In the description of the Elixir-Fruit it said that it has the same effects on the mind – He said remembering the description of the thing that shouldn’t be in this world.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The process of purifying one’s mind is when the mind becomes stronger but since the Titan’s mind is already very strong the elixir tried to make it stronger what resulted in your mind creating certain personalities that appear under certain circumstances
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- …… Basically, now I have multiple personality disorder, sigh – He sighed already imagining the problems that this could bring – So how I made those movements if I never trained them? – He asked worried that these personalities have more influence in his mind than he would like.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was the result of the passive card “Martial Mastery”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Wait, the cards work on Earth?!?!?!?! – He asked surprised.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only some of them that don’t break the rules of Earth
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- OK, so first let’s clean myself and then test the passive cards – He said and then started to clean himself but then he found an alligator but he isn’t afraid for some reason, he didn’t know but his iris is changing again and he slowly approached the alligator while the former was retreating slowly to but not fast enough since Jack quickly put his hand on the alligator snout and said – Now you are mine and your name is Alli – Then he used one of the Elixir-Fruits on Alli through his hand and the beast started to change becoming slimmer but with stronger muscles and bones and a bigger, more complex and more compact brain and “Jack” also used the “Create Card” card three times which generated the following three cards:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tame Beast
The knowledge and ability about how to tame a beast
Tame a wild beast
Passive/Action Card
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name Beast
To beast names are things more than just something to be called by it is also a way for them to improve
The knowledge and ability about how to name a beast
Passive/Action Card
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack didn’t know but Mary, after wearing her clothes, followed him and saw him taming Alli and consecutively he being improved and the only thing she could feel was astonishment for what her old friend did and she started to wonder what was happening to him.
- Okay, it is time to go back – Jack said after “changing” back, for some reason even with his senses improved he couldn’t sense Mary so he left without worrying to much about being seen since this was an isolate area where people feared coming here because of wild animals so he tried to go back to his home but Alli tried to go with him:
- Alli you can’t go to my home, you should build your own home – Jack said trying to motivate Alli to be an independent beast, and also because he couldn’t take an alligator to his house.
- Rwar – Alli reluctantly accepted and followed the river in the opposite direction, then Jack went back to his home and there he found that his mother decided to take a nap so he logged back at the game.
When he logged in Veritas, he found himself in the same forest and he decided to see his bag and there he noticed that he still had nineteen (19) of the Elixir-Fruits, then he decided to take a look at his stats after eating ten (10) of these same Elixir-Fruits:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stats: Jack Exarion
Strength: 120 Stamina: 125
Agility: 130 Dexterity: 135
Will: 150 Sensibility: 150
Perception: 150 Senses: 150
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Ok, so each Elixir-Fruit gives 10 points to all stats – Jack concluded after analyzing his stats – It’s best of I create at least one hundred (100) of them to have it in abundancy to do anything I want – He said this and started to collect the fruits, turn them on cards and fuse the cards to create the Fruit-Elixir. Everything was going alright until suddenly an arrow came flying into Jack’s direction, he managed to dodge it using his stats and “Martial Mastery” and immediately he turned toward the direction that the arrow came from and there he found what looked like an elf but with Asian features: epicanthus eyes, black long hair, but tall and with pointed ears and dark blue eyes.
- Nǐ shì shéi, nǐ zài zhèlǐ zuò shénme? – The elf said, in the beginning Jack didn’t understand but he quickly received a message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Knowledge of Babel’s Library” is translating the target speech to the Titan’s language and will translate the Titan’s speech to the target language
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Answer me: who are you and what are you doing here? – The elf said.
- Where is here? – Jack asked to try to locate himself.
- You are in the sacred forest gathering fruits and you dare say that you don’t know where you are!!! – The elf shouted furious.
- I just appeared here and thought that it would be best to gather food – Jack explained thinking that it would be best to not use game terms.
- You “just” appeared in the sacred forest? Do you think I am dumb? – The elf said outraged and started to drawn another arrow into “her” bow.
- Please miss calm down – Jack said to try to calm down “her”;
- Miss?!?!?! MISS?!?!?!?!?! I AM A PROUD WARRIOR OF THE AEROND CLAN!!!!!!!!!! – The elf shouted so loud that even birds that Jack didn’t knew were in this forest started to flee and, in the distance, surrounding the two of them Jack could hear people laughing and one of them said to the elf:
- Alriel, even to someone from another race you look feminine – Said a more masculine voice than that of Alriel. But then everyone felt the temperature rising starting from the sky and when they looked above, they saw a ball of dark fire coming directly to them.
- Oh, Spirits of the Water give my arrow the Power to Appease the flames of war – Alriel and the hidden elves all said this same spell and fired arrows imbued with some kind of water magic but when it collided with the fire ball all the arrow were burned and Alriel said – What?!?!?! How can this happen???? – Alriel is stupefied since this spell is said to be the strongest to be the strongest to their level of strength but then Jack asked:
- Why aren’t you using cards? – He asked like it is the simplest thing in the world since all the advertising for Veritas was about all kinds of beings using cards.
- Card are things that only the chosen ones or those that are the best in their fields can use – Alriel explained.
- Oh…. Wait…. – Jack first was surprised but then he noticed that he could use “Dismantle Card” in the dark fire ball – I think that I can deal with it – He said and decided to use “Dismantle Card” on the ball and when he used it the ball disappeared and in its place two (2) cards appeared in its place and floated slowly to Jack.

- Cool, now I have other cards – Jack said with a clean and excited face bur Alriel looked at him like he saw a ghost and muttered in a low voice:
- You can use cards…. Not even the best of my generation in my clan can use cards…... – Alriel is devasted and with a face of someone that saw the most impossible and heartbreaking thing in the world.
- Ha! We have chosen one here Alriel – Said the elf that said that Alriel was feminine appearing – So, who are you stranger that “just” appeared in our sacred forest? – The elf asked but prepared defend himself since in his clan those that can use cards are only the strongest of the strongest.
- My name is Jack, it is a pleasure to meet you so what are your name – Jack said to seem educated.
- My name is Rolim, so you truly just appeared here? – He said trying to see if he could locate from where the ball of fire came and to see if it came from Jack.
- Yep, I tried to se where I am and if it has any dangerous animal but the only thing I could find were this fruits so I started to collect them and fuse them, just when I fused them to a good form that I discovered that I am in a forest called “Forest of Shikukihaku” in a place called East Continent – Jack said reveling lots of information naively.
- Fuse them? – Rolim asked finding it strange.
- Yep – Jack said showing him the Card of the Elixir-Fruit.
- What the… This is an item card?!?!?! It is said that only the best items can be turned into item cards – Rolim said feeling amazed.
- Really? So this forests has lots of good fruits – Jack said showing to them the cards of the fruits that weren’t fused.
- What…. – Rolim and Alriel are awestruck since they never saw cards from the items of the forest.
- So, I would like to ---- ROOOOOOONNNNNC – Jack tried to ask something but his belly interrupted him saying that he is hungry.
- Hahahahahaha, so you are hungry come, come to our village – Rolim said laughing.
- But Rolim he is a human!!!! – Alriel tried to stop Rolim thinking that this is madness but Rolim just looked at him like he would kill Alriel – What is he thinking? – Alriel though.
- This stupid guy, didn’t he see that Jack managed to dodge his arrow? If he is able to do that, he can scape us easily plus he didn’t just uncast the spell since two cards appeared plus he is showing to us his some of his abilities he probably doesn’t have any bad intention toward us – Rolim though prepared to do anything to save his colleagues.
After some time, they arrived at a point where Rolim stopped Jack to explain one thing to Jack.
. Here we are at the boarder of our village, you can’t see it because it has a barrier that blocks all non-elf races to enter our village so I need to call an elder to help us to let you pass, so please wait here a second – Rolim said.
- But this barrier doesn’t seem to reject me? – Jack said touching the barrier, but some seconds after he touched it the barrier became golden and a door appeared where Jack was touching that quickly opened and sucked Jack in leaving the elves stunned while the barrier returned to normal.
- What the… Did this happen sometime? – Alriel asked Rolim but he had his answer when he looked at Rolim and saw the look in his face.
At a place where the only thing that seemed to be there is an enormous tree Jack appeared.
- Where am I? – Jack asked himself aloud.
- You are in the shared consciousness of the World Tree my dear Exarion – A voice came from the tree – It seems that you don’t remember anything, sigh – The voice said with a sad tone.
- Well, you could explain to me what you want – Jack said without understanding what she said.
- Even when you don’t remember anything about me you still try to help, he, you never change – The voice said in a playful and joyful tone showing that she is pleased with Jack answer – When you master this again you can come to me and try to help me – The voice said and a card appeared from the tree.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then Jack was expelled from that space and the voice said to herself:
- I wish for you to remember everything again – It said this in a sad but hopeful tone.
