??? POV

Waking up, I blinked as the sun bared down on me. I was confused and disoriented as I sat up on what seemed to be dirt. Wasn’t I just in my bed about to sleep. Looking around my vision started to clear more as I noticed that I wasn’t just on the ground but in a forest, well a dead one. The forest I was in seemed devoid of any life as there were dead trees and dry; cracked ground. “This had to be a dream” was what I initially thought but everything I had seen so far seemed to contradict it and the fact I was pinching myself and wasn’t waking up.

Standing up, I felt an increased weight down my back. Wondering what it was I saw what looked like a cape hanging down my back till it reached the floor. It had swirling colors that glowed on it and seemed capable of captivating anyone who laid their eyes on it. After appreciating its beauty for a few seconds I went to pick it up to place in front of me only for me to feel the cape tug on my back except it wasn’t a cape it seemed like wings well butterfly wings. As if activated by my thoughts they began to unfurl as two beautiful wings flapped to show their presence.

My jaw dropped, what does this mean. I guess this confirms that I’m in a new world, I thought maybe that was it or I was somehow kidnapped and placed in a dead forest for some reason. It was at this time I also noticed I had long platinum hair that reached down my hip, I probably didn’t realize since I was focused on the cape well wings, my wings. Still trying to get used to this experience I was to scratch my head before feeling something. Surprised I started to touch my head as I began to feel an object on it. Taking it off I looked as I saw what can only be described as a flower crown. It was made of gorgeous flowers that gave off a beautiful fragrance that seemed to calm the mind. Putting back on my crown I started to relax as my wings seemed to relax back to being cape-like. I guess this is what happens when I don’t need to use them at the moment. Suddenly a blue screen seemed to pop up out of nowhere as words began to form on it.

Name: Soren Hale

Title: Fairy King, The First of Your Kind, One with Nature

Race: Fairy

Power: Tier 1 (1/10)

Abilities

Dimension- A dimension that grows with its user. It can only be accessed by you and your fairies and anyone you or they allow as well as someone stronger than you. You can only exit the dimension at places you or your fairies have been to.

Fairy Creation- As the first of your race you have gained the ability to create more of your species. The amount you can create and their power depends on your strength. None of your fairies can be more powerful than you through any means. You are the only one that can create your species. The affinities you have are also available for your fairies the more you gain the more they have to access and their mastery of the element given is one tier less than yours (0/15).

Racial Abilities

Loved by Mana- Mana is the life force of creation. It is in everyone and everything, anything good or anything evil, it is the omnipresent energy that exists all around us. Mana can be manipulated so that one can influence the material and immaterial and you are fortunate enough to be loved by it. You have the affinity for every element known or unknown though you need to unlock them to be able to use them.

Mana Sensitive Constitution- As you are loved by mana your body has been transformed by it. This constitution allows one to read the flow of mana in your surroundings much better than the average person, it has also given you a large pool of mana reserve to aid in anything you wish to do with mana. Your fairy will get a lesser version of this ability.

Immortality- You are an immortal being that can withstand changing times. The only way for you to die is for someone to kill you. As a fairy you do have the ability to mate however there is a meager chance of baring a child, such is the cost of immortality.

Third POV

Staring at the screen Soren couldn’t believe what he was reading. Not being human anymore was ok, I mean what was he going to do, cry but it was the species he had been transformed into. He was a fairy but not a normal one, no, he was the first of his kind, and if that wasn’t shocking enough he could create more of his species. He also had his own dimension as well, which he was glad for he knows not what dangers he may face in this dead forest but the cherry on top was the fact he was immortal. Anyone would probably kill themselves for a chance of immortality and he got it just like that, he put it at the back of his mind to not tell anyone about it for the greedy will hunt him down.

Stopping the euphoria he was currently feeling, the system started to show something else.

Every being has a tier they were born in: [Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4, Tier 5, Tier 6, Tier 7, Tier 8, Tier 9, and beyond. Each has 10 points of power in between each tier]

Mastery of the elements also has tiers: [Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, and beyond]

Soren was excited seeing this information, it allowed him to have some sense of power in this new world he had arrived. Thinking of what this means to him he suddenly noticed tears were flowing down his face.

“Why am I crying” Soren asked.

That simple question had a feeling of grief, pain, and death exploding out of his body. He couldn’t help it, this feeling was out of his control, no, it wasn’t that he couldn’t control it, it was that he was surrounded by it. Taking a minute to get used to this, he looked around, wondering what was causing it. Then it started to click, it was the dead forest, that’s where the feeling of death came from but something was wrong, no, this dead forest wasn’t natural, normally even if a forest was destroyed, either by being burnt down or a flood there would still be some semblance of life, you didn’t even need mana to know this. If it was a drought then it would explain it but even that was a part of nature, if the forest was meant to die it was meant to die because even a drought is a natural occurrence but something was telling him that this wasn’t a drought well not a normal on anyways, no something was telling him this was artificial and he didn’t like it maybe it was because of his species or the title One with Nature but the emotions of grief and sadness had been pushed down by anger, they were still there of course but it was time for anger to take over now. Without empathy, he would have never known the extent of damage this forest had been through.

“Who did this…”

“Why would they do this…”

Soren was infuriated, he understood the destruction of nature for he was once human, and yes the destruction of nature was also a part of nature but on a scale so large with seemingly no purpose, he couldn’t believe it.

Moving his hand out of instinct he felt mana begin to flow out of his body as he called on the power of nature to help him with his desire to heal this land if only for a little. Mana rushed out of him as he placed his hand on the ground, and if that wasn’t enough mana in the surrounding environment moved with enthusiasm as it rushed to help him with his goal of healing this part of the forest and not a second later a tiny color a green started to come out of the ground followed by more as a wave of green light seemed to rush out of his hand before traveling about 50 meters around him in a circle. As the light passed grass and flowers began to grow wildly on the ground, the trees also seemed to be invigorated with energy as leaves began to grow some even had flower buds growing on them.

Starting to feel some fatigue, Soren stopped the flow of mana into the ground as he looked up to see the work he had accomplished. Not even caring about what he had done Soren focused as a feeling of unbridled joy began to fill his body from the surrounding area. Nature was thanking him for what he had done and he was happy to help. What he was feeling now was exactly what he wanted to feel. Natural order, that is what he wanted, that was his purpose now, some would say he was being manipulated but none would ever know the amount of sadness and pain he felt. The cries for things to be made right, the help that nature itself was literally begging him to heal it, he had always been one to help people in need, to do things right thing and now he had finally been put on a path to not only get powerful but to use his power for the greater good. Soren had finally found his purpose, his goal in this new world and nothing will stop him.
