Karyk continued reading the diary, growing more interested in the so-called specin that the person was so obsessed with.
The man was stubborn, only having one goal in his life. Just to follow that goal, he had even surpassed the natural limitations of humanity. It painted a picture of a man who had been cast out by society. Despite that, he never lost hope.
"Day 2460: I have decided to na the specin 'Aether'. It seems fitting, as it has beco a source of my life. Aether and I are one now. I no longer feel like the man I once was. My past self feels like a distant mory that grows faint with each passing second
"Day 2909: The clans have sent emissaries to search for so they could negotiate. They are unaware of my exact location but it won't take long before they find ."
"If I negotiate with them and show them the progress, maybe they will support ? With their support, I can gain even more power to perform experints without a single care in the world. However, power is no longer sothing I want."
"I will have to keep hiding and focus on Aether only."
"Day 5481: The world continues to evolve due to Aether's influence. Many new species appeared in this world while the previous species have evolved to grow even more intelligent. They can even talk to now."
"I have been sending them out to gather more material. With their help, I can focus solely on Aether. They can bring materials as well as information."
"Day 9980: They have brought back so information. It looks like the outside world has changed a lot as well. So new clans have risen to power, reaching the threshold to called major clans."
"It seems to be so clan called Drike. How interesting. The balance of power among the clans is shifting. I can only watch with detached interest and focus on Aether."
Hearing the ntion of the Drike Clan, Karyk's expressions fluctuated a little. This person even ntioned the formation of the Drike Clan?
From what he knew, the Drike Clan was established a long ti ago as a major clan. The person in front of him had lived for such a long ti?
It was as if he was looking at the world through the eyes of a person that had seen everything evolve while closing himself in this world.
He had thought that the diary wouldn't have so many pages as it looked much smaller. However, as he kept reading, he realized that the diary was an artifact as well.
As he kept turning the page, the previous pages disappeared. No matter how many pages he turned, he was always on the second page in the diary with only the day changed.
Karyk had many questions in his mind. He could only hope to gain the answers through this diary. He turned the page and returned to reading.

"Day 12500: I've begun to experint with rging Aether's essence with other life forms. Maybe I can evolve a creature of this world just like I had evolved? It is worth testing."
"Day 12907: The results are disappointing.All those creatures that I tested, had died as soon as I injected them with Aether's essence. Aether isn't accepting them. My understanding of the aether is still incomplete it seems."
"Day 19760: I have achieved sothing remarkable. Aether has begun to communicate with , not in words, but in feelings. I can feel it. It's not a living being yet, but it is sothing even more incredible!"
"I can see glimpses of sothing far greater than I imagined. I have glimpsed the threads of fate."
"Day 21765: I am no longer alone. I have created beings from the essence of Aether. I have succeeded in evolving creatures of this world with the help of Aether! This is incredible! I feel like I am getting closer to the end goal."
"At this rate, I might be able to complete Aether soon!"
"The evolved creatures are loyal to and hold a fragnt of Aether within them. I can't keep calling them beasts. They are a Higher Species now! They are part of sothing new! I will need to think of a na for them.
"Day 21770: After thinking for a few days, I have co up with a na. I have decided to call them Aetherians. Although they don't seem to like the na, I don't have any more ti to waste thinking about it."
"Day 28898: The world outside is caught in the flas of war. These fools will never learn. They will keep killing each other. It's a good thing I am not part of that world order anymore. Instead, I am part of sothing bigger. I can start a new world order myself!"
"Day 87644: The war in the outside world seems to be over. It lasted longer than I expected. The winner of the war is a person who has declared himself as the Celestial King. How foolish. There will only be one king in the world, who is Aether. Until then, enjoy the false throne!" "Day 98660: They have found ! Why did it have to be now? I was so close to completing Aether! I have to stop them. I have to stop them at any cost!"
"Day 12550: Is it all over? Almost all Aetherians have been killed. This beautiful world has been painted red by evil! I managed to stop them from taking Aether, but at what cost?"
"The Aetherians are dead and my life source is injured. I don't think I can live longer. It is funny. When I thought I was going to die, aether protected . And now, I am dying to protect the aether. But I don't regret it even a little."
"Aether has grown self-sufficient. It will be completed on its own, even if I am not here. Maybe even the bloodshed in this world will help Aether. The only thing I regret is that I won't be alive to see it."
"I won't be here to see my child enter this world. Fate has been so cruel..."
The diary ended abruptly. There were no further entries after that. It was as if the man had died after the entry.
