5 Innate abilites
I could feel this mysterious force (virus) snaking within the fabrics of the universe. Hidden within, the shadow universe! The words shadow universe, made feel like the virus was snaking into my naked body, entering my heart, causing me to feel as delicate as glass.
Like a virus scrolling behind the computer screen where the codes are programed. In other words it was within the fabrics of creation. Imagine if a being could utterly change you, as if you where just a toy upon the hands of the towering humans. Yes, it was as tense as it sounded.
Which means that this virus can change anything within the universe.
I slowed time immensely within the universe because I was going to add a universal law, important enough to add, in this instant.
I decided to fabricate the AI system within the universe but something else that will change the dynamic of power. Innate abilities!
They where abilities who only one in a million will inherit . This innate ability matches the darkest desires and secrets of its users.
This is where the law of equivalent exchange takes place because they will be an equivalent exchange of power and sacrifice.
As example imagine if somebody could slow down time, a very 'powerful innate ability' but the flash back will be sleeping for days and extreme magic consumption. This will be part of the desire of going back in time.
Imagine if one could shape-shift into a person who is dead by 'touching them'. The draw back will be loosing one's current identity, every-time they shape-shift. This is the desire of being somebody else.
Lastly, one could have an ability of resurrection reviving any one within 24 hours but killing causes death which means you can't kill. This is the desire of...
'You know this one'. Bringing back the dead.
It will be giving to the one's with the strongest desires.
Aren't the many with this desire's? Yes, the only two factors that will gift innate abilities, is the amount of 'desire' and 'chance'.
This is the law of equivalent exchange. The 4th law of the universe.
[Fabricating in process; It will take 24 hours to fully fabricate. By the 24th hour every one will have the system] It seems there will be some who get it sooner. Anyhow it was time to go.
''Teleport me there'' I exclaimed, as the anxiety was moving into my voice. I did not have to move, it was a matter of being aware that pulled me into the shadow universe. When I saw it, I was utterly shocked.
...
Dark clouds filling the sky and the battle field tensed as if ghosts rushed the silent armies of thousands.
"For united!" The soldiers voice pushed into the battle field, as they started to rattle with a thousand steps. Every breath and step, pumped and clunked with anxiety.
Their spirits delicate and tensed like a cupped glass, ready to crack.
"For shadow land!" The shouted as their blades shined as they marched with strength.
They flew out of the hill, showering with thousands into the flat land. Scrolling against the snaking grass, towards the united army.
"Bang!" They clashed like two colossal waves that rippled chaos. Sounds of surging steel, and magical cracks skimmed the land with bombarding chaos.
Between the spaces of thousands of cluttered man one could see swords that rutted, axing their opponents. Tips of wands exploding with blasting spells towards the dark mages, as they shoot back with black swirling bullets that buckled many mages into the ground, pressed on by the marching horses.
Moving blurs of thousands battling as lives slipped by the ticking seconds. Their brothers dead. Fire snaking the pile of their dead comrades. The wind rushed like a haunted hand of a ghost.
"Finley look out!" A man said, with blood dripping in his hand.
"Ting!" Finley red dress coiled down like a mage. His hands wobbling, holding his sword against his enemy. Slashing into the dark-knight chest. Turning his sword with a twist of fire.
"Clank!" Dark knight, chest clunked crimson, fire snaking out of his Armour.
"Thank you brother!" He thanked his brother, as his eyes meet the body on the ground.
Finley eyes snaked with a harsh tremble. His brother was dead!
His heart ached violently. Faint, memories of them together at home, eating with their mother grappled his heart thrusting him into the ground.
'He was dead!' He remembered how they used to steal magic books to study because they wanted to be mages, yet to be scolded by the guards. He wanted to forget.
'he was dead' He remembered how they applied to become battle mages at the academy thinking of together fighting armies of thousand yet to be laughed by every-one. He wanted to forget.
'he was dead!' He remembered when their mother died, and his fathered died at war. They where orphans clued into each other as they grew strong. He wanted to forget.
He wanted forget everything! Desire of power and desire of forgetting haunted him like a walking ghost.
"Bang!" Fire balls seemed to fill the sky, storming into him and the army.
"Run!" The united army run as he stood still.
"Boom!" The fire balls cracked into the land, cementing many into the molted mud, as Finley got smashed into the ground.
Finley, eyes blinded by fire and smoke, smacked into the ground by the collision of fire balls. He managed to struggle like a moving snake slithering out of the fire storm, knowing his brothers death won't be in vain.
'I wont die, I wont die!' This words was pulling him out of his death.
As he coiled out of the smoking fire, his lungs cut without air. Tasting ash and dirt. His hands and feet burning like needles to bone. He got out. His skin black. Brown hair burned into ash.
His vision groggy, the battle-field still filled with nauseating mess. He clenched hard on his hand.
"Swing!" Three dark knights attacked him, with blades shadowed in magic.
"Sling, sling, sling!" Three of them went down, beneath his sword that crackled with fire.
[Welcome Finley: You are participating in a war of 250,000 warriors] It exclaimed, rushing inside his brain.
[Power; Rank 1; Strength; 1.1; Agility; 1.3; Manna; 0.4; Soul force; 1; Element; Fire.. Others stats blocked]
[You have been gifted a special innate ability, Forget] It exclaimed, he was lost within his delicate mind. His brother has died. He is in the middle of war. Now a blue screen that hanged the air. Innate ability what was that?
....
Within the air one could see fleets and dragons heading towards the star emperor colossal fleet.
"Boom!" Dragons started to collide with stars emperor fleet, cracking into its shell, as the fleets crashed into it. Tilting star emperors fleet into the side, as it stood hanged. The armies of the fleets rushing inside, invading it.
"Defeat star emperor!" The united tropes beneath shouted to invade the ship.
As they stormed inside, the giant metallic corridor. The soldiers where geared with metallic Armour and enhanced bodies from altered genetics. The mages, scrolling against the metallic entrance that snaked in many directions.
"Where is the emperor!" Many of the soldiers of star emperor didn't know because this ship was only for the strongest of their intelligent race.
"I know, where he is, follow me!" Linda listened to a general shout with certainty. They all followed because he was a general who knew his way in.
"Bang!" Metallic door fell to the ground as light leaked inside of them. The inside of the fleet was like a giant palace. The emperor stood sitting in the chair. His eyes gazed like two black holes touching every one with fear.
"What if I told you all, that if I die every one in the battle will die with me!" His voice echo and his evil smile sinking every one down to his feet.
''Stop your bluffs!" A mage stood still denying his words.
"Activating nuclear reactor!" The fleet snaked a sound that shattered every-ones heart.
"Well if you guys kill or touch me then the whole battlefield will be buried with me!" He barked back.
This words haunted every one, as they all dropped, guns to the ground. Mages powerless. As if his hands clutched everyone, like little toys because it all took one crunch to end thousands.
.....
In the other side of the war.
A moving shadow crackled though the air, waving the air sharp as metallic sheets.
"Marcus above you!" A solider shouted as his words snaked into his ears biting his brain numb.
"Bang!" Purple and black flames intertwined, like two coiling beasts. They rutted into the ground tasting pure dirt. Dark mage breath, met Marcus face. His face shadowed like dark tentacles. A knife into Marcus neck.
Suddenly, Marcus body become transparent, as he swirled and slipped out of dark mage hands, to materialize besides him. Black mage, broke a large smile, that touched Marcus.
"You even used a skill you learned from me against me, shadow steps, you know that wastes all your stamina?" He exclaimed. Fully shadowed in black flames. Until his smile dropped.
A pumping heart could be seen, in Marcus hands, holding it like a treasure.
"Gulp!" Marcus ate it.
His purple flames becoming larger. His flesh growing like a wear wolf. His back snapping with dark wings. His body crackling like a dragon.
"A.. dragons heart!" His voice, soft as if he didn't want to say it.
A dragon heart was a legendary relic that raised one to one rank in exchange on one's life force.
Marcus with a shield and a sword. dark mage with a spear.
"It's the end of you dark mage, after you are gone, everything will be planned out like I imagined!" Marcus barked at dark mage.
''Marcus, you are full of lies! Hiding the truth won't take you far!" dark mage shouted.
They eyes meet, as they gushed into each other.
dark mage long spear jabbed but Marcus took the point with his shield, shoved it aside as the force exploded a hole into the ground, crackling the land nearby.
Marcus pulled back at dark mage with this great sword flashing, into his neck.
dark mage slides Marcus flashing sword out of his neck as he jabbed with his spear into him hitting Marcus on the collarbone near his shoulder.
The blow had a terrible force and Marcus heard something snap as blood dripped.
"I guess your life-time plan won't work after all" Dark mage barked with certainty yet his gaze quaked. His hand not wanting to tilt his spear, clean, as if something was stopping him. Marcus smiled.
.....
[Power; Rank 1; Strength; 1.1; Agility; 1.3; Manna; 0.4; Soul force; 1; Element; Fire.. Innate abilities; Forget] The AI exclaimed.
It seemed that he could pull the system in and out of his mind by desire or will.
"Crack!" Finley eyes where nauseated by the crackling magic that rotten the air.
The battle-field scarfed with shattering spells that spilled clunking the tropes into the molten and iced land. Swords glittering with manna, as their vibrant flashes, swirled the battle field. Finley was in the middle of it as a blue screen hanged.
[System: Ability of forgetting; Obtain memories by the touch of somebody; Flash back; Loosing one's own memories] It exclaimed.
Loosing his memories. It haunted him. He walked like a dead ghost. His skin burned and his rotten crimson robes, coiled like slithering snakes. His hand touching a soldiers dead body, opening him like a naked book.
"Snap!" Energy snaked around his arm as it bit his brain. Lingering a sweet after taste, making him want more.
[Gaining memories; Dark shadow movement; rapid movement (10s) every 2 minutes... Dark mage cultivation; Soul absorption... Taming shadows; Limit 5... Every battle technique has being imprinted into your soul]
[Other techniques have a high magic requirement] The AI voice rushed like a sweet whisper within his ear. Tingles followed him as the snapping realization stormed his mind.
His delicate existence become thick like a mountain. As he realized his hands, could shackle any memory into his mind. However, something slipped, as if something really important vanished like nothing.
His parents death started to slip away. As it slipped, his breath slowed. He was glad because he wanted to forget the memories that reminded him of his delicate existence. His delicate reality always stormed him. That he was going to be by himself within the trillions of souls.
''crack!'' His body morphed into shadows as he bulleted towards the dark knights. It was not his ability but shadow steps.
''Swing, swing, swing!" They fell into the ground.
His hands slithered into their bodies, his eyes lit with light. His mind addicted with the juicy of their efforts.
''snap!" A sound in his mind cracked. His memory seem to loosen, as if all the loving memories spilled our of his mind. As if his old self was breaking into nothingness.
His brother death slipped away as he started to forget who his family was. His empty heart numbed by the sweet feeling of knowledge. However, it made him smile because he wanted to forget. He didn't want to know he was the only one alive. He did not want to know that it was just him in his blood tree, that every one he loved has died. His pain. It was to much to bear.
His hands coiling a ball of dark energy, his mind empty. He was willing to slither all his memories away.
"Bang!" He started to shoot coiling black bullets into the dark knights as it melted into their Armour.
He scrolled into the dead bodies with just a touch white light seemed to coil into his body.As he looked there was more bodies.
His hands touched more and is it touched more his memories grew, and as it, grew, he couldn't help but keep going with a smile that crept into every-ones hearts.
''That guy is just getting more and more powerful!" The dark-knights started to back away from him, he towered every one his hand haunted as it it had a mind of its own.
Every memory, every dark secret, nothing could escape it, it only took one touch to unveil the darkest secrets and harvest their years of cultivation.
[Power; Rank 1; Strength; 1.1 (1.4); Agility; 1.3(1.5) ; Manna; 0.4 (0.42); Soul force; 1; Element; Fire and shadow.. Innate abilities; Forget] His eyes glimmered. He felt like he had to keep going because he enjoyed the thrill of power that numbed his fragile existence. However, he started to forget his existence.
A omnipotent surge of emotions bottled me into a boundless chaos that seem to stretch into infinity bliss. I started to elevate into a state of joy beyond anything, in other words I could feel alive. I felt the joy of existence within the whole universe.
However the pain of human existence started to clutter me, as I started to feel every emotion within the universe. The pain of rejection, fear, unworthiness, guilt, suicide, addiction, its intensity started to bundle my consciousnesses into a hundredth pieces, I started to crash within my boundless mind.
"Crack" My consciousness cracked.
The pain subsided, as I become totally neutralized, totally empty as if I was in the mid point of pain and joy, I was in the point of total nothingness in the stage of pure zen.
So this is the zen energy, the empty mind, the mind of steel, the mind of perfection, the mind of god. It seemed this zen energy could potentiate ones potential, however the require dedication to strengthen the will of the user to this decree was beyond dozens of life times. Besides the discovery of zen energy there was something even greater to discover.
''Wisdom what has occurred within my consciousnesses!" I required wisdom for a deeper understanding of the current situation.
[You have awakened! As humans evolve and develop complex emotions, you begin to evolve and experience it, in other words, you are not just a storage of information, you are now alive your will have become neutralized into perfection. However your consciousness has being divided into two dimensions] The tree of wisdom exclaimed.
Halved? two dimensions? What did that mean? However my boundless intelligence seemed to catch up and understand. It seemed due to the pain of human suffering, my consciousness was separated due to the intensity of pain.
It was a forced split of consciousnesses, if it did not happen, everything within the universe would of perish due to my agony. In other words there is two planes of existence besides the material. One is the material the other is the spiritual plane and the other is....
The other plane must be related with the split of my consciousness. Where was it? As I tapped into the universe I realized that a new type of energy swirled, an energy that could be cultivated if the users meet a certain requirement.
It was a demonic energy, if to explain it in terms of my distant past self which lived in earth. We would of it called it hell! So there is the spiritual plane, hell plane and the material plane, the universe was now divided into three dimensions. The hell plane would be called the dark plane. Heaven will be known as divine plane. Due to a god virtue of originality.
It seemed that my consciousnesses, now is bridged between the mortal, dark and divine planes.
Heaven and hell, divine and darkness, they both balance each other, because if the universe was at peace, how can it progress, if it becomes lazy? If it was chaos, everything will become extinct and where would the fun be? There needs to be something that moves humans into progress and that's darkness, either internal in forms of insecurities or external in terms of monsters, etc.
Earth was an existence that perfected human evolution, because it incorporated survival which helped develop human intelligence. An example of this is in the era of the snow age, homo-sapiens required to use fire, in order to survive, which means that survival made the homo-sapiens evolve their intelligence, because it allowed them to work in groups, build shelters, craft weapons to hunt, in order to survive.
This is the reason why the fear of death helped humans to evolve, because it makes the humans create things that help them survive, because if they don't use their intelligence they die, this helped them survive and increase their intelligence.
Why is it, that the universes with magic usually has no technology and are not as intelligent or have information about science in compare to earths universe? Its because the cultivators used magic as an exchange of intelligence when meet with a life and danger situation. An example of this is, that instead of a human setting up a fire and understanding the science of it they can instead use magic to create it. This kills the progress of technology and intelligence.
This is the reason why I created the intelligent species because then intelligence can evolve. Intelligence by itself may weaken the will by making people lazy however magic, and monsters, will force humans to be in constant growth, within their intelligence, and spirit.
With this one can easily imagine this universe evolving dozens of times more rapidly then that of earths universe, magic and intelligence its the perfect combination it just makes me imagine how much it has progressed right now.
''Wisdom, show me the current development of the universe!" I exclaimed, as I teleported into the most advanced civilization.
