Island and the Book

While still unconscious from his meeting with God a strange occurrence happened. A large purple circle appeared beneath Evan and Evan fell in to the purple circular hole.

The angel who was the last of his kind was now moving through different dimensions. Normally someone had to be awake during dimensional travel but Evan wasn't such a normal person in this circumstance. A circle that was similar to the previous one suddenly came out of nowhere and swallowed Evan.

In the literal middle of nowhere on an island surrounded by the vast ocean a crack appeared in the air about a foot from the ground. Slowly a purple mass started to seep out from the crack and took the form of a circle, it was the same circle that had swallowed Evan once before. It pushed Evan's body out onto the sandy beach and disappeared.

The sun was high in the sky and its rays beat down on the sleeping angel. The angels eyelids slowly opened and right after that a loud yell was heard.

"AAAAHH FUCK THAT BURNS"

"hot hot hot hot"

Not thinking of where he was in the first place Evan ran and jumped into a green bush that cooled him off from the piping hot sand. The prickles of the bush snapped him out of his stupor and he looked around to find out where the hell he was.

"Did God send me here?"

He got out of the bush and walked across the tiny island that he was left on. He started to walk around the non threatening island that he was on.The island was ridiculously small to him, the entire island was around a square mile in size and had many trees. There was a hill that was about twenty feet tall and it had a good view of the vast blue ocean that surrounded it.

"Where exactly is this place?" Evan spoke out to absolutely no one not expecting a response.

<Access the library to read more>

"Who was that?"

Evan spun his head around while observing the ocean to look for the mysterious voice that surprised him.

<The Library>

"The library?"

At the sound of those exact words Evan's perspective shifted as he was now suddenly in a massive tower that was filled with different books, some floating, some on the floor, and most of them on shelves.

The smooth brown wood of the shelves that had no webs or dust and the clean marble floor took his breath away as this wasn't a sight one got to saw in Heaven quite often.

His feet that had ragged shoes touched the floor and produced an elegant sound as if they were the ones that made this floor. Looking upwards it looked as if the tower of books never ended in the slightest.

[Library of Knowledge

Host: Evan

Level of access: 1

Books: 0/178,359,122 ]

"What in the world..."

A strange looking window appeared in his vision this time and didn't go away no matter what he did whether its putting his hand through it or yelling at it.

<Say Knowledge Off>

"Knowledge Off"

The silver window soon faded out til he can see the rest of the library once again.

'Didn't it say level of access?'

<Level of Access: Floor that you are currently allowed to visit, to gain the next floor you must prove yourself of a certain strength>

"What are the types of knowledge that I can learn here?"

<Floor 1: World Knowledge

Floor 2: Space Knowledge

Floor 3: Existence Knowledge>

"So we can find the answer even God couldn't give us huh?"

"Library give me a book on this world"

<Access Granted>

In a very small space that could barely be seen a golden shimmer started to envelope a big gray book. The book still shimmering in its golden hue floated and slammed in front of Evan in an instant. The strange letters on the title started to shift around to make it readable for me.

WORLD OF ZELAN

—

Zelan, a world that is at the pinnacle of human technology. No matter where you go you will always be near technology.

The world is four times bigger than the Earth and is split into five continents. The East, the West, the North, the South, and the Middle continents.

Sixty-seven years ago the Universe dictated that Zelan is a suitable planet to use mana and released mana across the planet. With mana came gates which led to many riches and opportunities but it came at a cost, to get those riches they needed to sacrifice their lives to kill mana beasts.

Since the event that were the gates and mana the worlds powers shifted drastically. The stronger became stronger while the weaker became weaker. The sense of strength has plagued the minds of many, and the plague is known as sin.

"Hmm... theres no technology on a tiny island is there"

I was sitting on the grass of the island with three books with me. The book that tells everything about Zelan, a book about angels, and a book about holy magic and its uses.

As I was reading the basic information of this planet it started to rain.

"Shit!"

As I watched a raindrop fall onto a book I was shocked. A barrier of some sort surrounded the book in a sort of bubble that didn't allow the rain to stain it in any way.

'I need shelter anyway'

I got up to my feet and turned around to where I faced the big hill that I stood on before.

Focusing my mana into my palm I casted one of my strongest spells.

"Beam II"

A large gold energy shot out of my palm and created a makeshift shelter for the time being. It carved through the grass and through stone so I was glad there wasn't any grass above me inside the shelter.

Magic, a phenomena when an unknown energy called mana interacts with our bodies and will. Inside of every being lies the mana core which is about as important as ones own heart is.

Anyone can create a spell that is if you are talented enough and have a mana core of a rank.

Mana cores go from I-X and when you reach a number in your mana core then you have the potential to evolve your spell into the same level as your mana core. It is incredibly difficult to do as it requires you to understand the inner workings of your spell and its effects that it creates.

If you create a complex spell then it can take up to five years to level your complex spell.

Archangels have mana cores that are at least level VI and normal soldiers have level II cores.

Every being also has two different affinities of magic the main one called the base and the other one called the sub base. The base is the affinity you are closest to and the sub is the affinity you are second in.

Throughout their lives normal magicians will only create one or two spells in their sub affinity as it isn't as strong as their main affinity.

There are ten affinities in the universe.

Fire, Water, Nature, Wind, Light, Dark, Space, Time, Holy, and Demonic

"Okay so what is Holy magic"

The angel sitting in an oddly shaped cave that was lit with a crudely made fire was reading a book on magic. He flipped the pages til he found what he was looking for.

////

HOLY MAGIC

A magic that is only available to angels and is one of the most strongest magic once mastered.

Holy magic has the healing properties of light magic and the destructive properties of the four basic elements.

////

ANGELS

Angels are a race that are created by a God and only a God. They exist to help balance and bless the world they oversee. If angel wishes to become stronger they are evolved into archangels. The wings on an angel is the sign of their stage of evolution, having one wing is the sign of an angel and nine wings the sign of a Seraphim.

I Wing- Angel

II Wings- Archangel

III Wings- Principal

IV Wings- Power

V Wings- Virtue

VI Wings- Dominion

VII Wings- Throne

VIII Wings- Cherubim

IX Wings- Seraphim

Nothing new but in the angel book there is a strange line of black text underneath the Seraphim but I soon forgot about it.

Looking across the now damp manmade cave he created he had an idea. He brought his right hand to his face and looked at the back of it. On the back of his hand was a tattoo that all angels are born with, it was called a sigil. Every angel had one that belonged to one out of the seven virtues. However ever since he was born his was different from them. Instead of a heart for kindness on his hand he had a sword. It looked like a plain sword colored red and that was it, he remembers his mother having a yellow sun for charity and his father had a green tree for temperance.

Evan would normally put a glove over it to not get any unwanted attention but now he took off his glove and admired the strange sigil.

For some unknown reason he fell into a trance when he looked upon the sword shaped sigil. The cave was then lit by the color of blood red.

[Heavenly Sigil has been confirmed and accepted]

[Sigil of Vengeance has awakened]

"What?"

<Error: Floor 2 information is needed>

<Error: Floor 2 information not met>

<Error: Floor 2 information forcefully extracted>

<Confirmed: Virtues of the Universe has been added to Floor 1>

"Virtue? what virtue?"

Lots of sounds and messages were appearing in Evan's ears and vision which caused him to somewhat stress out.

"Stop!"

<Confirmed>

[Confirmed]

Two voices that sounded similar but not at the same time voiced their response also at the same time almost sounding like an echo.

"Voices, what is this on my hand"

[The awakened virtue of vengeance]

<What he said>

"There is no virtue of vengeance right?"

[Not sure]

<Not sure>

My head felt a little prick at the back of it for a slight second and small pieces of information forced itself into my brain. What this was and what to do with it.

////

In a place full of cloudy skies that roared with thunder a woman with a yellow armor covering herself and nine wings upon her back just struck down a red skinned man with nine black wings similar to hers.

The man who was a devil fell to the ground of the planet they were fighting on. Slowly descending upon the dying fiend she rose her spear in a grand fashion as it was her own technique.

"Kartol Reprise!"

The spear glowed with a yellow hue and slammed against the devil's skull crushing it and killing the devil.

As she was beginning to cast a spell upon the corpse to exist it and its soul to eternity she felt something that once happened eight hundred thousand years ago.

"The final one is awakened, we will see you when you have conquered one"
