[I am burdened with a gift....the gift of knowing the future]
My sick mother and I lived in a small village near the empire. Our days were harsh ; we could barely find food to eat, but I didn't cared as long as I felf my mother's warmth, I was content.
At that ti, there was not one night where I wouldn't suffer from terrible nightmares.
There were many, but there were two that stood out.
One was beasts invading the village, and my mother
sacrificing herself to distract the beasts, allowing a villager to escape with .
The other one scared the most: I would be floating high in the sky, and the entire world was in my eyes. It would have been a beautiful sight if not for the giant deford creature, the size of a mountain below.
Everywhere it went would darken and be polluted by a black goo. The creature devoured everything in sight, from enlightened ones to beasts. It spared nothing, not even the mountains, and soon it shattered the entire primal continent, after which I would wake up.
I would tell my mother about my nightmares, and she would just gave the sa answers as always "it was just a dream."
I too believed they were just dreams until one fateful day, beasts invaded the village. Everything happened exactly the sa as in my nightmare.
Mother distracted the beasts; she shouted at , commanding , begging to escape, but I froze in fear and disbelief.
Fortunately, a villager who was escaping in my direction grabbed .
Days passed, and I hoped it was just one of my nightmares, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I was devastated.
I hoped what happened was just a coincidence, but another event confird that my nightmares were actually real future events.
I dreamt of my rescuer forcing himself on , but I didn't know when it would happen , so I watched him. One day, two days, and finally, on the third day, just like in my nightmare, the sky was covered in dark clouds. he ca back from hunting with a wound on his right arm. Night ca; I knew what he was about do. I lay motionless, eyes closed on the cold forest ground.
He approached, soon I could feel his breath. He ripped off the few pieces of clothes I had on, and just when he was about to... "splat!" I stabbed him in the right side of his neck with a sharp bone, a I secretly took from one of the beasts corpses he brought back from hunting....
I still rember the look in his eyes: shock, fear, and betrayal...
To be honest, I didn't bla him for what he had tried. Because I knew it wasn't really his fault; no, the fault lies with my race itself, the trait we all possess: LUSTFULNESS.
No matter what, after a certain age, we would all awaken this trait.....
I took his clothes and his weapon, after which I continued the journey toward a neighboring village. It took a day for to arrived at the village.
I was fortunate not to encounter any warrior beasts.
With the help of a villager who was familiar with , I was allowed to enter the village. After telling them about my village, they were furious, but I could tell they weren't really angry that my village was destroyed, but about what did it. They shouted, "How dare those lowly creatures!" then marched toward my village. Soon they returned with the heads of the beasts responsible....
As ti passed, I awakened my nexus sphere and beca a warrior. Soon after, I started to have random visions; these visions contained details leading up to certain events.
ti passed, I saw details leading up to a certain nightmare. This village was also to be destroyed by beasts, and Just as I was about to escape, it dawned on that if I inford the villagers in advance, the outco might change. I told the village head that beasts were going to attack in a few days.
He asked how I knew. Fortunately, I had already anticipated that. I told him I had the ABILITY to sense danger. I felt it wouldn't be a good idea to tell others that I could see the future.
Hearing that I had an innate ability, the way the village head looked at changed. His gaze now contained a hint of respect, and without asking for proof of my ability, he gathered his warriors and set out.
Days passed; they returned, and with the cost of only a few warriors, they succeeded in changing that event.
I was happy; the future that I once saw wasn't set in stone. I felt that maybe, just maybe, I could prevent the creature from destroying the world...
Ti passed, and I was now a veteran rank warrior.
I had a vision: an axe buried deep within the ground, at the center of a valley. My instincts told that this axe was very important; it would help greatly in preventing the future nightmare from happening.
I set out to find this axe.
Years passed by to locate the valley. By now, I had beco a supre rank warrior, and I had awakened my race trait. My body started to change; I beca more easily aroused, but I suppressed those urges and continued searching.
A few more years passed.
I found the valley, soon I held the axe in my hands, but nothing happened. Right then, I had another random vision, I now knew what to do.
I cut myself and dripped my blood on the axe. My blood had awakened the slumbering will of Adonist. I had never felt anything that strong.
I was in disbelief and scared. Adonist, the mad emperor who killed his own family and then destroyed his empire, shouldn't he be dead? He told that I was his direct descendant and that he was possessed; and it wasn't him who had a done those things...
I didn't believe him at first, but then he started to describe a creature similar to the one I had seen in my nightmares.
He told how his attempted breakthrough summoned an indescribable creature from outside, how that creature trapped him in an illusion, how in the process of breaking free from that illusion, his will advanced to another rank.
He explained how a part of his will was polluted by the outside creature.
his polluted and unpolluted sides battled internally, he lost and was suppressed.
The polluted side gained control, then sacrificed his empire to summon part of the creature from outside, but in the summoning process, it was attacked by the other emperors.
Many of them died, and the polluted will was severely injured. At that mont, he regained control, but it was already too late; the summoning had sowhat succeeded.
Because of the interruption at the last minute, only a weak little will arrived...
When he was about to destroy the will, his polluted side suddenly did sothing that he at that ti only had a theory about: it suddenly split itself from him, aning his will was split in half. He was badly damaged.
At that mont, the summoned will escaped.
His polluted side also had his innate ability to manipulate blood. It created a new body made from blood, then escape.
He had to make a choice: go after his polluted side or the summoned will. He chose the will, but it had sohow vanished.
After he recovered a little, he discovered his polluted side and the will, they were performing another summoning. He interrupted it, and they fought. He noticed the will had gotten stronger. At the price of all the blood in his body, he defeated them, severely damaging the will and his polluted side.
Right before he died, he discovered that he could attach his will to sothing, and it could last for hundreds of years.
...
I was shocked; that was the real history of Adonist, and creatures from the outside. I had never considered the possibility of an outside world.
He wanted to find the will before it woke and destroy it. I agreed, but I didn't tell him about my ability. What if what he told was a lie, what if he was the polluted one...?
