Somewhere in Maniverse 44 - Earth 60 - Multiverse - Universe 33, a glowing orb made its way through the atmosphere, shattering into four pieces and landing in four different lands. The cosmic aura produced from the orb as it made its way to Earth covered the entire world, creating both negative and positive cosmic radiance energies. This cosmic radiance caused atmospheric changes, leading to rainfall and transforming the world.
Long ago, the four lands lived together in harmony until the invaders attacked, dividing them into four geographical locations. These four lands, once known as the KINGDOM HEARTS, were now individually known by their separate names: The Earth Land, The Water Land, The Fire Land, and The Air Land. Millennia later, the power of the orb reunited these four lands, and they regained their territories from the invaders, becoming the ELEMENTAL NATION.
Four different men from each land discovered the abilities of the orb, harnessed its powers, and reunited their nation as the "Elemental Kings." They could control the four elements of nature: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. The four shattered orbs re-emerged as one, bringing peace and harmony to their nation. The Elemental Kings shared their abilities and secrets, passing them down from generation to generation.
As time passed, the Elemental Kings were replaced by worthy successors to rule the nation and protect its people. However, some power seekers became corrupt, trying to harness the ultimate power of the glowing orb, known as the Elemental Orb. Legends say that only those with pure hearts, like the first order of the Elemental Kings, can harness the absolute power of the Elemental Orb, which combines all four elements into a single entity known as ELEMENTAL X.
ELEMENTAL X is described as an unimaginable excess of power beyond time and space. The first order of the Elemental Kings used it to defeat the great evil invaders known as the "void."
The void is described as an immensely powerful unspeakable evil that will one day roam the elemental nation after being freed from imprisonment. However, fate has shown that even in a peaceful nation, absolute power corrupts absolutely, leading to the division of their lands and the shattering of the assembled orbs into four pieces. Each land reclaimed their elemental orbs, and disharmony returned due to the invaders.
In the world of elementals, there are different techniques, including forbidden techniques that surpass elemental controls, and elemental techniques that are within elemental magic. These two techniques share some similarities when performed, which will be discussed as the story develops.
The origin of forbidden techniques has different roots, stemming from the glowing orb that broke into four pieces and landed in different lands, causing cosmic aura and energies to affect the world. The forbidden techniques can be distinguished from elemental techniques, even though they originate from the same source of power that users can harness.
These forbidden techniques originate from various sources, such as the miraculous fountain water, eternal rock, and the cosmic tree of life, granting users different abilities. When using a forbidden technique, people make specific hand signs to manipulate their energy. By weaving through intricate hand signs, they can release the desired Forbidden Technique with a burst of energy.
Forbidden techniques can be performed in two ways: either by uttering words or whispering, accompanied by fast, slow, or moderate speed hand signs. They can also be demonstrated non-verbally through hand sign gestures. These forbidden techniques are dangerous against adversaries as they catch them off guard with unpredictable actions.
For example, if a user wishes to establish telepathic contact or control with another individual, they would say "Forbidden technique, telepathic control/communication" after performing specific hand signs. As the story unfolds, readers will gain a clearer understanding of how these techniques work.
Forbidden techniques have the ability to harness, manipulate, and transform energies into various forms, such as cloning, telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation, summoning, spellcasting, conjuring, invisibility, flight control, intangibility, speed control, agility, stamina, strength, durability, hypermotility, reflexes, endurance, immunity control, energy blocking, energy control, shadow control, energy projection, energy manipulation, soul control, will and fear control, mimicry control, teleportation control, matter control, and reality control.
However, it's worth noting that matter or reality control comes at a great cost for its users due to the immense power and access required. Additionally, forbidden techniques can be limited by the user's imagination and willpower.
Elemental techniques and elemental magic techniques are distinct, with elemental techniques relying on elemental controls, while elemental magic techniques involve verbal and hand sign demonstrations during their performance. The use of verbal and hand signs is only relevant for elemental magic techniques or summonings, as they are unnecessary for basic elemental control or techniques.
Elemental magic techniques do not require whispers; instead, they rely on an out loud voice for effective summoning techniques, bravery, zeal, and total control. When utilizing elemental magic techniques, the user stands with their hands raised, forming the first of the hand signs for their technique. Their fingers move through an intricate pattern of gestures, and their body becomes tense with focus and concentration. Finally, they strike the final hand sign, and a surge of energy rushes through them. With a loud shout, they release the energy and technique, sending a powerful wave of energy towards their target.
There are four elements to consider in both elemental techniques and elemental magic: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. Elemental magic enhances the user's abilities with these elements and possesses supernatural means.
Non-elemental magic, also known as elemental technique or control, cannot counter any elemental magic techniques, control, or summonings. It can only be countered by powerful elemental magic, the elemental x, powerful cosmic force, grand cosmic force, or powerful forbidden techniques or summonings. Elemental magic techniques also enhance elemental techniques (non-elemental magical techniques).
In summary, elemental techniques and elemental magic techniques differ in their approach and capabilities, each having its unique strengths and limitations.
Elemental Techniques:
These are the four elements of nature: water, earth, fire, and air. They can be manipulated by users through the flow of energy granted by the elemental orb. The potential of elemental techniques is limited only by the user's imagination and willpower.
Elemental Magic Techniques:
These techniques come in various forms, summonings, and uses, each with their own unique capabilities. Here is a breakdown of the water magic techniques:
Water Magic:
1. **Water Bridge Parameters**: Behold, the indomitable Water Bridge! Crafted from the liquid essence itself, it forms an unyielding shield, a watery fortress that safeguards its user while crushing adversaries. Only mightier elemental forces or cosmic powers can challenge its supremacy.
2. **Water Healing Technique**: The magic of rejuvenation, capable of healing even the most grievous wounds and, in some miraculous cases, resurrecting the fallen. Yet, every miracle demands a toll; its use may drain the wielder, sapping vitality or risking their very life. Collaboration with fellow water wielders can ensure a safer invocation.
3. **Water Magic Absolute Freeze (Hydro/Cryokinesis Suspension)**: Mastery over frost in its purest form, ranging from a planetary chill to the cosmic deep freeze. Only the wielder, stronger elemental forces, or cosmic entities can thaw this icy dominion. Wielding such power carries peril, but with allies, survival's odds surge.
4. **Absolute Control**: A macabre dance of dominance, where the user commands their adversaries' bodies, exploiting the water within them. In this fluid ballet, control extends to surrounding liquids and gases, turning the environment against foes.
5. **The Red Sea Domain**: Among the most sinister water techniques, it whisks both user and prey to the ocean's abyss. Powerless and encased in freezing depths, escape eludes all but those who wield elemental X or possess cosmic might. The sea's embrace ends in shattering despair.
6. **Water Devastation**: Masters of this art grasp dominion over the heavens, bending weather to their whims. They transmute liquids into solids and vice versa, potentially unleashing half-planet floods. Yet, like Water Magic Absolute Freeze, its use courts consequences, unleashing chaos and peril.
Note: In the realm of elemental magic, no rival may thwart these water techniques. Escape is a privilege granted only by the elusive elemental X or the grand cosmic forces with absolute omnipotence.
Earth Magic:
1. **Earth Wall Barrier**: Behold the nigh-indestructible shield, the Earth Wall Barrier! Rising like a colossal rampart summoned from the very earth, it stands impervious against all elemental assaults. Mere non-magical attacks, they simply shatter against its unyielding might.

2. **Earth Burial**: Earth, the elemental cradle of sand, mud, wood, and metal, lends its strength to the wielders of this art. They draw from their surroundings to conjure quicksand from thin air, ensnaring their foes within. But beware, for even such mastery can falter against potent elemental foes.
3. **Earthquake Devastation**: A technique of cataclysmic power, it grants command over earth's fury, reshaping battlefields with titanic quakes. Yet, wielding this might comes at great peril, for it risks the wielder's very life. Only those of immense earth power, elemental x, or cosmic forces can quell this tempest.
4. **Gravitational Suspension**: Masters of this art manipulate gravity at will, suspending it for others while they remain untethered. This lethal ability extends to Earth's magnetic core, entwining it with the cataclysmic power of earthquakes.
5. **Celestial Devastational Pull**: The pinnacle of earth magic, a cosmic cataclysm unfolds. It beckons asteroids, comets, and meteors from the universe's depths, heralding annihilation. Escape is futile, and both wielder and adversary court oblivion. Only the rare powers of elemental x or cosmic forces can hope to halt this cosmic Armageddon.
Fire Magic:
1. **Hell Blaze Realm Rise**: This formidable summoning technique births searing infernos from the very earth, igniting the air with an intensity hotter than volcanic fury. Flames that rival the sun's wrath incinerate all they touch, forming an almost impenetrable shield. Only mightier elemental magic, cosmic forces, or the elusive elemental X can contest its searing dominion.
2. **Firewall Barricade**: A titanic wall of flames, impervious and unyielding, envelops its wielder, a guardian forged in fire. No conventional magical art can breach this fiery fortress; only the unfathomable might of elemental X or cosmic forces can hope to challenge its defense.
3. **Volcanic Eruption**: Unleashing unbearable heat upon adversaries, they find themselves engulfed in searing torment, both within and without, until they erupt like a volcano, consumed by fiery detonations. This cataclysmic technique can be thwarted if the user is incapacitated before completion, or by those wielding superior elemental magic, cosmic forces, or elemental X.
4. **Summoned Hailstones**: The conjuration of mystical hailstones, drawn from thin air or the skies, this power possesses the potential for planetary destruction.
5. **Lightning Blaze**: Fire users harness not only flames but also lightning's volatile might. Lightning becomes their weapon, granting them swiftness and reflexes akin to a storm's fury.
6. **Summoning Dragon's Breath**: From the depths of their being, users exhale fire with cataclysmic potential. This fiery breath, born of magic, surpasses mundane flames but swiftly depletes the user's energy.
7. **Fire Dimension**: The ultimate blaze, a realm of deathly flames, condemns both user and adversary. Transported to this fiery abyss, all abilities wither, and escape defies hope. The "second death" awaits, an end without redemption or rebirth. Only the transcendental power of elemental X or the cosmic grand abilities can defy this infernal realm.
Note: Within the Fire Dimension, all abilities prove futile, save for the unparalleled might of elemental X or the cosmic forces that grant absolute transcendence to the user.
Air Magic:
1. **Air Shield Strike**: A fortress of inviolable defense, impenetrable to all but the mightiest of air magic wielders, elemental X powers, or cosmic forces. This resilient barrier, conscious and subconscious, lingers after its summons. It not only deflects attacks but retaliates with tenfold force, levitating the user within an airy cocoon. Even earth wielders' efforts to sink their victims are thwarted as air users reverse assaults upon their assailants.
2. **Ethereal Realm**: An ethereal realm, devoid of substance, transcending Earth's confines. Users teleport themselves and their adversaries to the high expanse, where air fills lungs and chokes life from them, a suffocating oblivion.
3. **F5 Tri-State Tornado**: The tempest incarnate, an air magic technique that leaves naught but devastation in its wake. Its wrath can unleash a half-planetary cataclysm, a force challenged only by mightier elemental magic, elemental X, or cosmic forces.
4. **Celestial Tempest**: A pinnacle of deadly power, woven with the threads of self-sacrifice. This incantation beckons cosmic storms, wielded as weapons to rend solar systems asunder and shatter galaxies. The price, however, is the user's life, drained in the cataclysm's wake, its sole counter the dominion of elemental X or the grand might of cosmic forces.
Author's Note: Elemental users wield unparalleled might through both elemental techniques and elemental magic, shaping destinies with their elemental mastery.
In the heart of the orphanage, a young boy named Jake Momoa harbored an unquenchable dream – to become a part of the Elemental Academy, where the gifted honed their powers to serve their lands. But the academy wasn't just for the gifted; it also welcomed those without innate talents, teaching them how to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their nation from danger.
Jake's passion for the academy led him to secret escapades, sneaking out of the orphanage to observe and clandestinely practice the elemental techniques he witnessed during their rigorous training. Weeks turned into months, his fascination growing, until one fateful day when Jake made a life-altering decision to leave the orphanage behind and chase his dreams.
In the orphanage, everyone knew of Jake's unwavering determination. He didn't aspire to be just the best; he aimed to become the greatest elemental user in all four lands. He even dared to dream of being the Elemental King and God.
Jake, a sweet, loving, and caring teenager, had endured a difficult childhood, losing both parents at an infant age. His back bore mysterious tattoos resembling the elemental orb, though they were cracked and held a meaning that eluded even him. Raised by various families from different homes, his journey eventually led him to the orphanage – a temporary home until destiny called.
Despite his warm nature, Jake wasn't without detractors. Haters and doubters tried to extinguish his dreams, but their negativity only fueled his determination to make those dreams a reality. Once he left the orphanage, Jake embarked on his own adventure.
One day, during a grand event at the Elemental Academy, an opportunity arose for him to blend in. But as he attempted to infiltrate the academy amidst the bustling crowd, his plans were foiled by a vigilant guard. Jake faced imminent expulsion when an unexpected savior arrived – Chi Chi Taichi, a fair and beautiful teenage girl of royal lineage. She had long, black, curly hair and donned her native Chinese attire, accompanied by her guards as she made her entrance at the academy.
Chi Chi, observing Jake's embarrassment and sensing his potential, intervened. She informed the guard that Jake was her new assistant, tasked with providing her insights into the academy's ongoing activities. This twist of fate marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey for Jake Momoa, where destiny and determination collided in the most unexpected of ways.
With Chi Chi Taichi's authoritative intervention, the embarrassed guard quickly pleaded ignorance and extended his heartfelt apology to both Jake and Chi Chi. Together, they entered the academy, and Jake couldn't help but express his gratitude.
"Thank you for what you did back there. I don't know what you said to him, but it worked like magic," Jake said, his appreciation clear in his voice.
Chi Chi responded in her native language, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "你既不是皇室成员，也没有贵族出身，却敢混入人群，试图躲避卫兵警惕的眼睛。如果你不是疯了，那我相信你一定是个疯子。下次，利用地下通道而不是依赖墙壁或人群来隐藏自己。地元卫兵可以探测到你的振动并会暴露你，除非你掌握了禁忌的技巧，让你几乎无法触及，直到你被抓到为止。" ("You're neither a member of the royal family nor of noble birth, yet you dare to infiltrate the crowd, attempting to elude the guards' watchful eyes. If you're not insane, then I believe you must be a lunatic. Next time, utilize the underground tunnels instead of relying on walls or the crowd to conceal yourself. Earth-element guards can detect your vibrations and will expose you, unless you possess forbidden techniques, allowing you to remain almost untouchable until you're caught.").
With that cryptic advice, Chi Chi walked away, leaving Jake perplexed about her language and its meaning. It wasn't until a fellow student approached him that he gained some clarity.
"Just be careful," the red-haired stranger advised Jake with a smile. "That's the essence of what she meant, unless you want me to provide a verbatim translation."
The stranger introduced herself as Anya Thai, hailing from a noble family in the Water Land. She informed Jake that Chi Chi came from a royal family in the Air Land and was still learning English. As they chatted and joined the festivities at the Elemental Academy, Jake began to feel more at ease.
Inside the academy, an announcement reverberated, revealing the impending final exams that would determine the culmination of their year's worth of learning. But before the exams, a tournament-style test awaited the students to prepare them for the rigorous elemental challenge. This tournament, known as the Elemental Exam, would pit students of different elemental techniques against each other, testing their strength and readiness for the challenges that life would bring. As the students celebrated this exciting news, a grand feast festival marked the end of the day, with laughter, camaraderie, and a sense of anticipation filling the air.
