It was dark. Everywhere you look, no matter how much time you spend looking around, you can only see darkness.

In fact, it would be an understatement to say that it's just 'dark' in this endless expanse of darkness. No air, no sound, no light, nothing. A human would probably go crazy just staying in this place for only a few days.

But, within this endless darkness, a red bead can be seen. It was even flashing intermittently, making it look so eerie and ominous, considering the place it is in.

Looking at where the red bead is at closely, you could make out a massive figure with azure and jet-black scales. It has horns protruding on its head and it has a very big, bat-like, wings that could theoretically lift this big creature up if it so wanted to fly.

But, right now, this gigantic creature is just continuously sighing. It looks so bored while looking around at the place it was in.

"*sigh*, Little Ophis will probably not visit this place once again. It seems that she just came across this place after being swept on that thing called dimensional gap," the creature said with a hint of boredom in its words.

Then, suddenly, it seems like it found something interesting. It looked up and the place it is staring at, which has always been dark and gloomy, suddenly split apart and revealed an image of two western dragons. These two dragons are red and white in color respectively.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

There was this one time where it went down on the world where mortals lived to experience what it is like to live there. But, it's journey came into a halt when it suddenly felt that an aura of its own brethren is nearby its current location. There's even two energy signatures.

So, as it was curious, it went to that place to figure out what on Earth was happening. That is where it encountered these two dragons who likes to fight as a method to pass their time.

At first, it just watched as the two of them duke it out. It watched as they battled and battled for who knows how long and the two of them never stopped on fighting. Since they are almost equal in strength, they never reached a clear conclusion in their every fight.

It got interested in this and so it wanted to also join them. But, there's only one problem in that thought. If it were to join these two dragons, they would surely die in just one move.

But after hearing the next words that came out of the two dragon's mouths, it had a sudden epiphany,

"Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!" the red dragon suddenly screamed.

Its power soared as its aura doubled in strength every time it says the word 'Boost'. It then opened its mouth and said,

"Longinus Smasher!"

Then, a wild torrent of energy came out of its mouth as it went towards the white dragon. However, upon seeing this obviously strong attack, the white dragon didn't even flinch as it shouted,

"Ha! Pathetic! Do you think that this measly attack can be so much as a threat to me, Ddraig!"

When the white dragon said those words so arrogantly, it took a stance in the air as if it wanted to receive the attack head on. When the attack reached a certain range around the white dragon, it suddenly shouted,

"Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!"

As it shouted, the red beam of energy that the red dragon shot at him slowly reduced in size and power. But, it still had some power left in it when it reached the white dragon so it shouted once again when the red beam reached it.

"Reflect!"

When it shouted that word, the red beam was directed elsewhere as it landed on a distant mountain. When it finally hit the mountain, a huge explosion resounded.

*Booooooooooooom*

Then, the mountain is nowhere to be found. In its place was a crater that is probably around 100 meters in depth. Seeing this, the creature who was watching the two battle for a long time now showed a grin on its draconic face.

"It looks like I will have some fun playing with these two for a while," it said while laughing.

And so, it went towards them and revealed its presence. This caught the two dragon's attention as they directed their gaze at the newcomer.

"Oi, who are you?" the red dragon asked rudely.

"Hmm, why are you here my fellow brethren?" the white dragon asked.

"Mm, well, isn't it a common courtesy to introduce yourself first before asking others?" the creature, now confirmed to be a dragon as well, said.

"Mm, I am the Vanishing Dragon, also known as the White Dragon Emperor, Albion!" the white dragon, now identified as Albion, said.

"I am the Welsh Dragon, also known as the Red Dragon Emperor, Ddraig!" the red dragon, now identified as Ddraig, said.

"That's right, we are also known as the Two Heavenly Dragons," Albion added.

"Now, who are you?" Ddraig asked.

"Oh, it's a good thing that you asked-" the dragon said before showing a wide grin.

"My name is ____. Remember it well my new buddies. Now, wanna have a go at it?" the dragon said.

The white and red one showed their own toothy grins that showed their fangs as they answered with much enthusiasm in their voice.

"Ha! Who would refuse such an invitation to a fight!? As long as you can handle me then I'm in!" Ddraig said.

"That's what I also wanted. I feel like you're strong! I hope that I'm not mistaken about you!" Albion said.

"Well, shall we?"

"RooOoOAaaaAaRrRrr! Bring it on! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Booooooost! Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames!" Ddraig said.

"Half Dimension!" Albion said.

"Hehehe, that's what I wanted!"

And so, a great battle unfolded. When the other factions heard about it, they were alarmed, to say the least. A dragon that is at least as strong as the two Heavenly Dragons is not something that you can hear about everyday. In fact, the destruction that it caused in the surroundings were much more than Ddraig and Albion combined. Not to mention that this dragon appeared out of nowhere.

Much later down their history, they would come to call this dragon as the Void Dragon, the Azure Dragon Emperor of Destruction. They called the dragon that because, after its battle with the two Heavenly Dragons was over, it suddenly disappeared.

It's as if the dragon could appear and disappear in and out of existence. Although these different factions were curious about this dragon, they decided to set it aside. A great war is approaching and that needs more of their attention.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After that time, it once again went back to the space where it initially came from and continued to watch the endless expanse of darkness around it with a bored expression.

It would occasionally check up on the two 'best buddies' that it made when it came to that world so it at least had some entertainment. It couldn't stay in that world for too long as it don't even know that the word 'control' existed. So, it had to reluctantly leave that world.

"What happened to those two buddies of mine?" it said while looking at the screen with interest.

"Huh? Isn't this the war that I have been watching a few years back? Hmm? They ganged up on them? Eh!?"

It showed various reactions as it watched the events that transpired. After who knows how long, the creature finally let out a sigh of disappointment and said,

"These two, it seems that they're having fun jumping from host to host like that. They even managed to battle while residing on that peculiar device called sacred gear! To think that those two would enjoy themselves without inviting me! Kuu, I'm envious! If only I could also do that! Wait til I go down there and teach you not to leave me behind at something like this!"

Its words sounds so ridiculous and unreasonable but no one was there to file a complaint at its unreasonable behavior. Then, realization dawned on it. Couldn't it just create something similar as an experiment? And so it did.

At first, it couldn't even make a decent sword using what seems to be a mysterious energy. It controlled it as it continuously tried to create a similar thing that the man who is called as the God of the Bible created.

Through its effort, it finally managed to create one. But, it felt like it is bound to get disappointed. Thus, it didn't send its soul in it.

It just sent its newly made gear to hosts that are considered as 'morally evil' by the populace of that world. The other 'self righteous' Gods would bother it everyday if its 'cruel' actions were to catch their attention.

Well, it did became disappointed. The users were just trashy! They can't even hold out using the very first skill! And it was a very very toned down version of the real one!

There's also the fact that they never managed to awaken the gear's true form! What a disappointment. So much for being a human. Well, it's not like other creature can handle the strain of using its gear. It was just so crudely made.

But, even if it wasn't the case, the human's bodies were just so fragile to handle its gear.

"Wait... fragile? Why am I so fixated on giving my gears to a human like what that golden winged bird that called himself as the God of the Bible does? Can't I just give it to other races as well?" it mumbled.

After that, it continued to polish the gear he made and made it jump from host to host to see which race will suit its gear. But, it was disappointed once again.

Some users managed to use the very first skill on the gear for at least three times but that was it. The user's body became a bloody mess after exceeding that point. Well, the creature couldn't blame him as not anyone could handle the strain if they power up the way he did.

"So... I need a host who had a very high endurance, high healing capabilities, and high adaptability. Where could I find that? That dragon that gained my gear also died after using the very first skill 6 times..." it said as it continues to mumble.

"Wait... there is one race that has those things that I mentioned! But, they're supposed to be hiding right now, if I remember correctly," it added.

So, it began to search for a member of this said race. But then, in its search, it came across something completely unexpected.

"Huh? Isn't this race supposed to be only females? Why is there a male? And, what is that male doing in this Akashic Records World?" the dragon thought.

Eventually, it just shook its head and said,

"No matter. The fact still stand and that is... I have finally found you," it said with a large grin on its face.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

In a dark and dilapidated room where the only source of light is the monitor of a computer, a boy with a pitifully thin body and pale skin sat in front of it.

Sounds of the keyboard being tapped in a rapid pace is the only sound that can be heard inside. The boy who sat in front of the computer brought his face closer to the monitor, giving a clear view to his pale and sickly face.

But, despite his pale and sickly appearance, he had this happy look in his eyes while watching what seems to be an anime. He have dark circles under his eyes as he certainly never got a wink of sleep for a few days now.

According to scientific research, a human spends almost one-thirds of his life sleeping. But, this young man here is the exact opposite of it. He spends most of his days watching animes and reading mangas and light novels, resulting in his pale and sickly appearance.

One might ask, is there no one who could stop him from doing this? The answer is a big fat NO. There isn't anyone to stop his reckless actions that is clearly jeopardizing his own life.

He was born an orphan and he wasn't adopted by any family. After he grew up to an appropriate age, he moved out of the orphanage and started to look for a work to provide for his own needs.

His ventures on the outside world caused him to get to know his hobby now, anime. Slowly, he got more and more engrossed on it that he stopped looking after himself. This caused his health to slowly deteriorate.

And now, it seems that those years of neglecting his health is coming back to bite him in his ass. His eyelids started to feel heavy and he felt like his world was spinning.

Despite this fact, he still persevered as he looked at the monitor of his computer using all of his will. In the end, he didn't even manage to get a glimpse of those red hair and those other girls in his favorite anime.

In his fading consciousness, he heard a voice said,

"*sigh*, how the mighty has fallen. To think that the mighty Elemental Fox race would fall up to this point where their brethren would be satisfied just by looking at a monitor all day. If you really want to see those girls that much, then let me help you on that. In exchange, you will have to spank the asses of Ddraig and Albion for me!"
