1 Blazing Bloodline
Somewhere in the vast and new universe, there was a Region of Space known as the Desolate Region. Within this region, there was not much life or mana for that matter. There however was a planet. This planet was giant; it consisted of almost three Solar Masses according to the records of the old Universe. However, at the core of this planet, there was an iron core of extreme temperatures. Within this core of iron. There was a man completely encased in the solidified core. However, at the moment the Master Realm regained connection with the universe. The man flinched minutely. Causing the entire planet to shake with earthquakes and volcanoes going wild on the surface. Thankfully this was an uninhabited planet. The Master Realm was billions of light-years away yet the man felt it. Soon the planet fell once more into peace and the man didn't move again. And he wouldn't for who knows how many more years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ten billion years after the birth of the universe In an unknown region of space on a small planet. Said planet which was inhabited by various races including humans. In a remote region of the world, there was a mountain surrounded by immense jungles. At the peak, there was a mountain beast lying asleep. It had the head of the lion, the wings of a bat, and the tail of a scorpion. This creature was a Manticore, a Master Lord Realm Magical Beast who was the ruler of this mountain-jungle. Without it noticing a spiral began appearing above its head before the manticore even knew what happened a spiral spatial gate had torn it to bits.
Landing on the peak where the beast lay moments before were five youths.
At the front was Luka Kaiser, a young man with silver hair and grey eyes. His face was chiseled and gorgeous. He was a very handsome young man. Behind him stood another young man and three girls. The others were just as good-looking as the first. They were Luka's entourage, per se. The young man was the Great Grandson of the Supreme Elder, his name was Alexander Lachs he had a head of brown hair and hazel eyes he was a few inches taller than Luka. The three young girls were similarly descendants of some of the Grand Elders. The girls were beautiful beyond comparison. The one standing nearest the front was called Alice Russel. She had a head of blonde hair and blue eyes. She was a head shorter than the boys and had a relatively small figure but her curves were just right. The next girl was Emily Haas. She has black hair and brown eyes a few inches taller than Alice however she wasn't as petite being a girl with an hourglass figure. The next girl was pretty much identical to the last as they were twin sisters her name was Lily Haas.
Seeing the sight from the top of the mountain the five were very intrigued by the new sight of the outside world.
Young Emily asked the group.
"So where are we?"
Alexander responded
"I doubt even our elders know exactly where we are. We were told that the Grand Elders would Search for a relatively safe area for each group. Seeing as how we almost landed in the belly of a beast, I'm not sure about that."
At this point, Luka spoke.
" Well, the Elders were. The beast wasn't coincidently torn apart. The elders did that. They identified the beast as the Overlord of the jungle and determined that its hideout would be the safest place as its aura would drive other creatures away. No matter the case. We need to begin our cultivation of magic. Each of you, find a secluded spot and begin cultivation. We've been prepared for this, don't disappoint your ancestors."
Finished speaking Luka Proceeded to walk away from the group to find his own place where to begin cultivating his magic.
Hearing their young masters orders they made heed and moved away. Alexander took a small device from his Spatial Ring and set it up at the center of the mountain. Upon activating it began to draw the mana in the world towards it. Enriching the area where they would cultivate, with mana.
It didn't take long for them to make their first breakthrough into Genesis Realm Reaching the Adept Stage. The First breakthrough was most certainly Luka. However, they didn't stop. They kept expanding their mana reservoir, by absorbing more mana than they could hold while it caused pressure and pain. They slowly expanded their mana pools. It's not to say that their mana pools were small to begin with. Luka alone had begun with what was equal to 10 liters of synthesized mana. The others weren't far behind with 9 liters each. But that was just the beginning of their journey. In the same process, they were exerting control over their mana as well as compressing the mana to purify it. This was their process of consolidating their first realm. Normal people their age would usually have to do those three things in turn as the three would usually be too much for their minds and bodies to handle.
Not a day after they achieved their first realm breakthrough they achieved their second stage. But something happened in the transition stage for Luke. As he was making his breakthrough to the elite stage his bloodline awakened. Usually, their bloodline would awaken at the Origin Realm. However, Luka was a special case with the awakening of his bloodline Luka entered the Master stage. Although the others were still a few hours away from the 2nd stage. Lukas's bloodline triggering triggered their bloodlines. While they were still at the adept stage their bloodlines were forcefully awakened. The Quantum Resonance Bloodline could be said to be a single unique bloodline that spanned across countless individuals through space and time and for too long had the bloodline been suppressed. The awakening of Lukas Bloodline triggered a mass awakening of bloodlines. However, it wasn't just the five members of Luka's entourage. Every member of the clan who possessed the bloodline felt it. Across space and time. The young ones who were still cultivating across the universe felt their bloodlines forcefully awaken with a burning sensation. It wasn't limited to the young ones who had just arrived in a new universe; the old ones who were still within the Master Realm felt their bloodlines burn with rage.
In the Master Realm in one of the brightest palaces, the current master spoke up within a great hall filled with the clan Elders.
"The awakening of the new Masterline has forcefully awakened the rest of the sleeping lines. As well as set ablaze the old awakened ones. The Return Of the Dawnless Master Class to this Universe has Begun. Gentleman, you all should return to your cultivations. Once the time is right we will seize back power and set a new foothold in the universe. Sooner or later the Entire Universe will fall once more under the control of the Dawnless Master Clan"
Returning to Luka who was still absorbing mana on the mountain top. The sudden blaze within the bloodlines pushed Luka to the Master Origin Realm. Once The blaze was over, it returned to normal and their cultivation proceeded as usual however their absorption rate had increased due to their bloodline aiding them in the whole process of absorption, control, and compression.
Besides eating and other necessities, the five young ones spent all their time cultivating the magical energy. They spent a better part of a month cultivating. By the end, Luka had achieved a Master Stage Spirit Realm and the others were a single-stage behind.
After a month Luka finally broke the routine they had created for a month.
He spoke towards the others
"Tomorrow we will be leaving this mountain. We've attained a sufficient realm at this place."
As a small object flew towards him he extended to catch the said object in his palm. It was a small mechanical orb.
Luka spoke once more
"This is the last of the drones I sent out. According to the data collected we are surrounded by jungle within a radius of 100km"
Luka spoke while assessing a holographic map displayed on his holo watch.
He continued relaying what he had discovered to the others
"With our current realms, we should have no problems leaving the jungle if we are to avoid the Sage Beasts. The drones have identified 5 sage beasts across the jungle. I have determined a path that will keep us away from the beasts. The drones also spotted a village directly North of the mountain. However, the closest sage beast also happens to be North so we'll have to go around it. It will take us approximately 2 days to leave the jungle. We'll be setting out tomorrow morning, make preparations."
At this point, Alex spoke up,
"We should take the time before sleeping to practice our spells and understand our affinities. According to the Elders while everyone can cast spells of all essences. Everyone has Elemental Essences who they are more in tune with than others. We need to understand how spells work if we are to become proper mages."
Luka who was now sitting around a fire pit filled with ashes spoke.
" The Elders taught us that there exists Twelve Major Essences. Beginning with Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, and Nature, the Six Physical Essences. Followed by the Six Ethereal Essences, Life, Death, Soul, Ghoul, Space, and Time. We should focus on learning Tier One Spells for now. Once we're capable of defending ourselves our focus should move to develop our original spells."
Luka played with the embers left in the pit from the overnight fire. The Sun hanging tall over their heads. Alex stood behind Luka Leaning against a pile of rocks while the girls sat around the fire pit listening to Luka.
Once Luka had finished talking there was a momentary silence.
Until a feminine voice broke the silence.
"Why do we have to focus on Original Magic isn't it a little too early for that." Alice was the most chatty of the bunch and she was also one of the smartest second only to Luka. She certainly knew the answer, however, she liked Luka, and finding any excuse to talk to him was not beyond her, so she asked anyway.
Luka aware of everything didn't mind and responded calmly.
"Written spells developed by our ancestors while they might be easier to learn. They are not always better. Those spells were developed by our Ancestors for their use. As such those spells aren't as effective in the hands of anyone else. Even if your affinities align and you're capable of casting the spell effectively. It won't be as effective as your Original magic. We're no longer in our old universe where we were Lords Over All. In this new universe were nobodies. Our goal is to make our way to the top once more, it doesn't matter if it takes longer, wielding original spells will make us stronger in the long run. We no longer have the luxury of infinite resources. We have to make up for it with effort."
Once Luka finished talking. Lily, the youngest of the five by a few minutes. Also with the same intention asked Luka.
"But didn't the elders give us a large number of resources?"
Luka once more answered the lady
"The amount of resources the Elders gave us isn't nearly enough to raise our power significantly. Most are invaluable medicines to heal or help in our path only when necessary. In our Old Universe to raise someone to the borderline of the Deity realms, it required the resources of an entire Galaxy. As of right now we barely have enough resources to aid us on our journey. Ninety percent of the natural resources in the Infinite Vault of the Clan expired millennia ago. Only the truly valuable ones remained and were not wealthy enough to waste them needlessly. This leads me to another point, we will need a way to collect resources. Once we reach the Lord Realm, Natural Cultivation will slow down considerably. We will need to rely on natural resources to help our cultivation. Now stop asking questions and start practicing. We should have a handle of at least a few spells by tomorrow."
Finished speaking Luka Stood up and retrieved a pack of Nutrient Supply from his storage bracelet and retreated from the group to practice. As he walked further away, from the distance he yelled
"We should also think of a method to acquire some real food."
Once Luka retreated Alex left as well. He was the oldest of the bunch and he was assigned as Luka's personal guard. He wasn't a chatty person but he took his job very seriously. He was also the strongest of the bunch. Of course second to Luka.
Due to the lack of Mana in the Bubble realm, the only training they could do was physical combat. As well as a lot of theoretical magical combat. Luka was the strongest and smartest of the thousands of young members of the Clan. However, the others didn't fall far behind him.
