1 Chapter 1 - History

A long time ago, when humans still resided on the now non-existent Planet Earth, a horde of strange Dragons emerged from the sky, bringing chaos and fear to every nation around the World. They were the so-called Purple Dragons, Dragons who could control lightning and thunder!

A great war broke out, the Purple Dragons were intelligent creatures and possessed powers never before seen by mankind.

Countless nations around the world have joined together against Dragons and fought for several years!

Earth had turned into a completely hellish place. It was Nuclear Bombs being dropped from one side to the other and Dragons that could destroy houses with a single breath. Billions of lives were lost and despite the absurd advance of technology at the time, humans were still losing the war.

Amid despair and close to meeting its end, humans discovered a new form of energy that could provide them with strange abilities and powers, Astral Energy!

With the discovery of this energy, and learning to manipulate it, countless heroes emerged on the human side. Were humans with unimaginable powers, creating ice from nothing, controlling water, and altering the weather, infinite abilities revealed themselves! Even their life expectancies were higher than normal! They could cultivate Astral Energy and become stronger!

And with the discovery of Astral Energy, the tide of war had begun to turn!

The war had been balanced. The incomparable heroes of the time fought hard and after a long time, they managed to bring humanity's victory in the war against the Purple Dragons! A war that would be remembered in the future as the true beginning of humanity! The War of the Beginning!

This war devastated several nations, few million people had survived after the war. But that hasn't stopped them from being overjoyed with the victory, many years to come! Maybe even decades and they had finally managed to defeat those Dragons!

But something soon alarmed them. From some of the dead Purple Dragons, strange purple orbs of different sizes appeared. The greatest experts at the time had come together to find out what these orbs were, and they were shocked when they found out what these orbs really were.

After absorbing one of these orbs, a person could inherit some of the characteristics and abilities of the Purple Dragons. These orbs had been named Legacy Orbs.

In the midst of this, humanity had already realized that they were not alone in the Universe. Like those Dragons, there were probably different intelligent species with different powers.

After a long time rising, humanity began interstellar travel. They soon discovered something shocking, several planets had not been captured by satellites or telescopes! Billions, no, Trillions, and even more new planets had been discovered!

Not only had new planets been discovered, but different species had also started to appear from different corners of the Universe.

Beings are even more powerful than the Purple Dragons they had fought! Some Dragons could swallow a star! A Whale that could swim in the deep void! The Legendary Phoenix that could be reborn from the ashes! Even so-called Elves have been found, beings as intelligent as humans and with transcendent beauty.

Several of the species found were called Astral Beasts! All of them could cultivate Astral Energy.

Many years later, mankind had learned to enslave and tame Astral Beasts. They could use the Astral Beasts as companions in their fights and grow stronger together! Astral Beasts that had been tamed were called Astral Pets! They could help their masters in their daily lives and in their struggles.

Humanity has climbed and earned its place as one of the strongest in the entire Universe!

....

Planet Zelor, Thratos Continent, in Tyler City.

The sky was clear and clear, while the sun shone with indisputable beauty. A cheerful and lively atmosphere covered the entire city at that time.

People walked along the sidewalks with their Astral Pets.

It would be unusual to see someone without an Astral Pet, these ancient Astral Beasts had been built into today's human society.

Although not every Astral Pet can fight for its owner. They were still loved and cared for by their owners.

Hulu!

Flying cars flew freely through the streets.

Everyone was excited today, as today was the day the Flyer Academy Astral Warriors Municipal Competition would begin.

An Astral Warrior is someone who can use Astral Energy to fight along with their Astral Pets.

The best gym located in the city, the academy students were all recognized geniuses! The academy's elimination rate was greater than 99%. Only the greatest geniuses could compete for a chance to enter it. As long as you are under 30 years old, you can join it!

And every 4 Years there is a competition made by this academy, to select 5 people who would represent the city in the District B Competition. From the District B Competition, another 5 people would be selected who would compete in the Continental Competition, which would scale 10 people to the World Astral Pet Warriors Competition!

In other words, this Competition is a chance to be recognized Worldwide! And maybe even being accepted as a disciple by some famous expert.

A lot of people were very excited, they were looking forward to watching a competition between various geniuses! Some went to cheer for their family, others to place bets, some went simply because they had nothing to do.

...

Despite this cheerful and fun atmosphere, in an alley in the city.

"Hey, you cripple. You had a look at my girlfriend earlier didn't you?" A young man asked as he patted the face of a teenager in front of him.

The teenager had black hair and brown eyes. His face didn't contain a single touch of emotion. He was sitting in a wheelchair, while around him was a group of young people staring at him and laughing.

The teenager opened his mouth with an emotionless face and said, "No, I didn't look at Su Xie Senior."

Pow!

A punch was thrown in his face.

It hit right next to his mouth leaving a red mark. But his expression didn't waver, his face still didn't show any emotion.

"Did I say you could talk? Be quiet." The young man said with an angry expression. He turned back and told his friends who were watching everything with a smile; He said with a mocking smile, "Hey guys. He said he didn't look at Su Xie, but I clearly saw him looking. What do you think we should do with this lying cripple?"

"How about we throw him in the Forest of Death?" One of the young men suggested.

"Hahaha, good idea. With his strength, he shouldn't be able to survive for long."

"Tsk, tsk. Even I felt a little sorry for him now, he shouldn't have looked at Xu Qing Senior's girlfriend."

"Humph, that cripple deserves it. It's just a curse to the world."

"Hahaha!"

...

Filius stared blankly at his colleagues mocking him. He was already used to it.

At age 6, a Black Dragon had managed to flee an Arena and attacked him and his parents. In an attack the Dragon injured his legs and made any useless moves, his parents intervened at that moment and tried to stop the Dragon.

He could only hope that the Astral Warriors would come and save his parents.

His parents who were not Astral Warriors did their best to stop the Dragon, however, their efforts were futile.

He watched his parents being devoured by the Dragon and killed in front of him, he couldn't do anything as he watched everything.

The so-called Astral Warriors had taken a long time and did not arrive in time. Since that day he had blamed himself for trusting others, for trusting that the Astral Warriors would appear and help him and his parents.

Even so, something rekindled his confidence. A girl, her name was Sophia and she was of the Elvish race. She helped him and took care of him, at least he thought so... Naive as he was, what he least expected was that she would betray him overnight and leave-taking a family heirloom from him.

It was something very precious to him, a Leaf of the World Tree. His mother had told him that his ancestors were once Astral Warriors and had great friendships with the Elves, and Leaf had been given as a gift to his great-grandfather.

A World Tree leaf is something very accurate for Elves, not just for Elves, but for many species. Although there are several World Trees, it is very rare to receive a World Tree Leaf. It is said that eating a Leaf from the World Tree can completely cleanse one's body, and increase one's talent in cultivation. And the Elfa Sophia was walking away with it.

From that day on, Filius's trust in people had been completely broken. Not only was that broken, but his feelings had also been broken as well.

Being ridiculed, suffering aggression day after day, Filius couldn't feel any more feelings. Be it anger, sadness, joy, everything is gone.
