1 CHAOS KID

At the start of the universe, there was only silence. Silence that could trample anything. Millions of years later, two entities were born. One of them was Light, the other Darkness.

Whenever Darkness met Light, both of them started to disintegrate. But being polar opposite, they had the instinctual desire to destroy each other. But they knew, without Darkness there is no Light, without Light there is no darkness.

Millions of years passed again with the two existences doing nothing but avoiding each other. Their thoughts streamed back what was their purpose for living. The answer was to destroy the other.

They thought hard to overcome their original reason to exist and to find another. They eventually found one.

Light and Darkness each cut their bodies into six equal parts. These six parts of their body were given life separately at the cost of their own lives. They were dead but they had someone who could continue their legacy.

The six realms were present even before Light and Darkness were born. These six realms were said to come from the previous Era and it was said that, they were even older than silence.

These twelve newly created existences inherited their parent's domains and each of them occupied half of the six realms, ruling them.

Darkness and Light were no more, but their descendants continued to live peacefully in their realms.

A million years passed yet again. And Chaos was born. He was a entity who equalled Darkness and Light in power.

The twelve felt instinctual fear towards the newly formed Chaos. For the first time since their birth, they worked together to eliminate Chaos. Chaos had just been born, it was the best time to attack him.

The twelve attacked the newly formed Chaos decisively, but it was not enough to end Chaos who was stronger than them immediately. They fought for millions of years without giving Chaos the chance to counter.

The inevitable time did come, Chaos was on his last breath. He used the last of his divinity and slashed the twelve with last of his power, before closing his eyes for eternity.

This Peerless Slash from the Chaos, cut down the the twelve entities and the six realms into millions of pieces. The Chaos Laws in this Peerless slash spread all over the destroyed realms.

The twelve were forced to shut themselves and preserve what remains of their meagre power to continue their existence.

Millions of years passed again, a body slowly raised in the void where the twelve fought with Chaos. If the twelve were present here they would scared witless, this body was the original body of Chaos.

The body slowly raised, before opening his eyes. His eyes were muddled with no memories of who he was, in fact he was no different from a newly born.

It was then, he heard a loud shout. He looked in the direction of the sound only to find a burly man looking at him with seriousness and cautiousness.

Soon, a young lady came into his sight. She was so stunningly cold, he could not bear to look at her for a second. She approached him with the burly man behind her.

She then took him into her arms, only then did he notice that his body was one that belonged to a newborn baby. She opened her cold but attractive lips and declared, "He will be my son."

But the burly man got on his knees and pleaded," my lady, please reconsider. How can a newly born exist in the void realm, he might be a Chaos destroyer."

Even though the burly man pleaded his lady not to, he knew that his lady never takes back her words. If she says he is her son then he is indeed her son!.

The new born baby was taken along by the lady, he grew in her land, learning how to live and how to socialise.

........

Three years passed since his mother found him. This day was celebrated as his third birthday. Today, his adopted mother blessed him with her presence and thought him the way of the strong. The path of cultivation.

The world is filled with a type of energy called 'Chaos particles'. One must absorb the Chaos particles into their own body by comprehending the laws of Chaos and store it in a special location, which, then can be drawn out to fight.

This special location was different for different individuals and in rare cases one can have two such locations in their bodies. The highest number of such locations until now was nine.

His adopted mother was the only person in the history to have nine such locations. She is the princess of the deity kingdom. Which rules the the millennium planet.

Having more locations also implied having more affinity towards Chaos particles and thus increasing your rate of Chaos cultivation.

These Chaos particles are limited and thus cultivating endlessly is not possible. Due to lack of infinite Chaos, kingdoms wage wars and kill to reduce the number of competitors on their path of cultivation.

So the path of cultivation, became a path of slaughter. The nature of Chaos particles, which was destruction did nothing but pour oil into fire on this path of  slaughter.

His mother accompanied him for his first session of absorbing Chaos particles. When he closed his eyes and felt the Chaos particles in air, they rushed at him like a raging tsunami.

As his body on the verge of exploding from taking in so much Chaos at one time, a jade like arm touched lightly on his shoulder, dispelling the Chaos. His mother looked at him with surprise.

But it soon reverted to being cold again. What she did not know was a huge cloud of Chaos appeared in the sky, exactly above them.

This usually indicated a Divine body. Divine bodies are those who had two or more special locations. The higher the phenomenon the higher the rate of Divine body. This cloud of Chaos was comparable to her own, when she tried to absorb the Chaos fit the first time.

The three year old kid felt inexplainable fear on the brink of his death. Nobody told him that Chaos was so dangerous. He looked at his adopted mother with little more respect now.

His mother got up and turned around to leave. She was the princess and the future inheritor to the throne. She had a lot more than just to teach a kid about cultivation.

When she reached the door, she paused for a second and ordered without turning around, "You will start cultivating from tomorrow. I will tell Fire Lord to teach you the correct path."

"And from now on, you will be called Chaos kid, remember it, true names are difficult to awaken."

Hearing that Fire Lord will teach him instead of his mother, he felt a little disappointed but he dared not show it, for he wanted her to love him dearly.

Fire lord is the burly man who found him in the void realm. He was also the Great General of the Deity kingdom.

True names are what restrict the 'highest level' a person can reach in cultivation. In other words True names can be said to their talent. But True names are very difficult to awaken, but once you succeed, your cultivation will soar to the heavens.

The best example to this was his adopted mother. She had awakened a total of ninety nine words in her true name, and now, she was said to be unrivalled in the Deity kingdom.

His adopted mother had used all her power and successfully awakened the first two words in his true name. From now he would be called Chaos kid.

........

He would began his cultivation from tomorrow, so he ate his high quality meal fast and went to bed early.

He had strange dream that day. In that dream, he was a unstoppable monarch slaughtering everyone who cultivated in Chaos. He soon ran out of targets to kill and reached his final destination to destroy. The Deity kingdom.

But a graceful yet cold lady and a young man with a mixed colour hair of black and white stood before the Deity kingdom, seemingly waiting for him.

He felt sadness when he looked at the young lady. She held a huge place in his heart, she was the one who saved and raised him, his adopted mother. But he still had to destroy the Deity kingdom and absorb the Chaos in it, for the Chaos belonged to him.

Chaos Kid then looked at the young man with mixed hair. His body shook in anger and he wanted no more than to tear this young man into a million pieces and eat them.

This you man miled at him before rising into air. Chaos Kid followed and rose into air and soon they fought to destroy each other. The cold lady just watched, having no intentions to stop their duel.

Time seemed to flow at unbelievable rates, the place filled with Chaos every time Chaos Kid attacked the youth.

But the youth had no visible injuries, he fought with his pure body, not using Chaos or other forms of energy, yet managed to equal Chaos Kid.

Soon the young man began to dominate Chaos kid. Chaos's hatred only grew every time the young man attacked him. He took out his weapon refined infinitely with Chaos and once again their match came to a standstill with no one gaining advantage over the other.

Suddenly the mixed hair young man stretched his hand and called his weapon. A spear transversed space itself to reach the young man. Seeing the spear in the young man's hand, Chaos Kid knew he would be killed today.

The young man was not scary, but his spear was. He saw as the mixed hair youth throw the spear towards him and Chaos Kid knew he would die.

He hastily raised his weapon that was refined infinitely by Chaos. But there was no use, the black spear just cut through his weapon like it was paper and struck his chest.

...........

Chaos Kid jolted awake, drenched with sweat. Only he knew how fearsome death was to a level of existence such as him, it seems fear of death was imprinted in his soul.

But soon, he realised that he does not remember most of the dream. He only remembers that a spear took his life. This formed a instinctual fear towards spears.

The next morning, Fire Lord took him to the 'Temple'. The Temple, was a special place, where flow rate of Chaos particles can be controlled. This temple was built by the ancestors of the Deity kingdom and modified by its successors.

Fire Lord took him to a remote room at the end of the Temple. If one tried to sense Chaos particles here, they would find that they are almost non existent.

Since Chaos Kid had a Divine Body comparable to his mom, if he tried to sense Chaos, he would have a wave of it enter him and destroy him.

The reason Fire Lord took Chaos Kid here was because of scarcity of Chaos in the air. With this, the problem of exploding was taken care of.

This will be his home for the next month. His high quality meals will directly delivered to the room, and he must not step outside the room for the next month.

This was an order from the Fire Lord himself. So Chaos kid can only comply. Fire Lord left him to cultivate on his own. Like his mom, Fire Lord was not free enough to teach him personally.

His body had always been weak, when his mother found him, he was so weak that the gentle breeze hurt him. If not for his mom shielding him, he might as well have died the moment he was born.

In fact, he had already died a few million times before his mom found him and saved him. Though he had no memories of this event.

Since his body was extremely weak, his mom kept him by her side for the first month, finding all kinds of rare fruits and recipes which allowEd his body constitution to improve. From then, all his meals were designed to increase his body constitution.

He wanted to ask Fire Lord about his dream, but finally decided against it. Even if he wanted to say anything, all he remembered was his fear towards spears.

He sat on the floor of the room. There was nothing in the room, not even a single chair. So he sat in a meditative position and tried to sense the Chaos.

Even with his superior talent, it took him a whole hour to sense a drop of Chaos in this room. This drop of Chaos flowed towards him on its own and entered his right wrist.

This was how, he located his first special location in his body. By the end of the day, he absorbed a total of thirty drops of Chaos.

A beautiful young maid brought him his meal and accompanied him while he ate. He was only three years old, but he was more matured than normal adults. This was due to his superior soul as well as the constant criticism he got behind his back, which tempered him to not care for others words.

He developed a brush it off mindset to avoid being insulted to death. This was a kind of self defence of the mind, always trying best to not destroy itself.

But the young maid had no such ridicule in her eyes, he was surprised that someone did not feel jealous that he became the adopted child of the future queen.

" Do you know who I am? " he asked, the maid was the first person he talked to, other than his mom and Fire Lord. This was also his first question since his birth.

The young maid thought a little, then flashed a confused look, then laughed, before replying." I was not told that I need to know the person I bring meals to. Workers like us have no rights to choose. We do what we are told, without question."

This was new information to the little kid. He thought for some time, digesting the information before asking another question, "Do you know the adopted son of the princess."

The maid's eyes brightened, she looked left and right before closing on towards his ears," I heard that her new adopted son has a weak body and needed the princess to take care of him every moment, when she first brought him to the kingdom."

"Oh!" He also knows about this, since they were talking about himself and he was able to remember everything from his birth due to his superior soul. But how could a mere maid know about the things revolving around his mother.

He did not continue on this, but asked a different question," what do you think about him? do you feel jealous about him?"

The young maid never expected a three year old to be mature enough to ask her about what opinions she had on others, but she smiled and answered," I am not jealous. Why should I be? Being the son of the princess comes with lot of responsibilities. I am lazy enough being a maid, why would I be jealous about someone who probably has no time to be lazy."

The three old kid flashed a simple smile and ate his food without any further questions. When she was about leave he calmly said,"Bring all my meals from now on, if it's not you bringing, I will not eat."

She flashed a smile at him for acting spoiled, before leaving. Chaos kid continued to sense the Chaos in his surroundings.
