Chapter 4

The yellow star above gradually settled down and night came . There's no moon , and the whole space was so dark , Kryst could only stare at the twinkling little stars at the heaven and lean his back on the body of Yggdrasil .

Silence and loneliness gradually enveloped his whole being and Kryst starts realizing that he's no longer locked inside the lab . Kryst admires the nature , the twinkling stars , the breathe of the tree , cool wind , swaying grasses.  He couldn't believe he's seeing these things right now .

Ygdrassil's branches slowly patted the toddler's head and pacified the lonely toddler.  " Don't worry , soon , we'll be welcoming our fellow brother . You're goal now is to protect us and we'll take good care of each other from now on . "

Kryst slowly hold the tree branches and rubbed the his fingertips on it.  " I sometimes wonder why you're so good to me . Why? There's a lot of people like me in the lab and i am not the only human who have a good looking face , why did you choose me? "

Yggdrasil also wanted to question himself. Why did he choose 032 who have no emotions?032 was famous for his awakening failure , and although he's indeed good looking , beauty is actually just in the eyes of the beholder . Every being have their own standards of beauty . Sometimes , westerners think that asians are cute or attractive , asians alike also think that westerners are good looking .

Some people also like black beauty , other people thinks that the more white you are the more attractive you are.

There's no such thing such as perfect face . For Yggdrasil , those are just external appearances . For him , all humans are just ugly skeletons with a skin .

" I don't know ... Maybe you're just fated to become the first Elf in the world . "

Why me though ... I am just a pathetic orphan with a good looking face and no formal education.   I lived in the lab suffering torture and faces dangers everyday being forced and locked inside a room full of monsters while being trained to become cold killing machine . 

Kryst could still remember his fear when facing the tip of the syringe , he could still remember how he trembled whenever he heard the growl of a hungry lion . How he was almost digested inside a python's belly , and how he was almost forced upon by a middle aged woman .

Kryst took a deep breathe to prevent himself from breaking down . He knows that he was not the only victim of those crazy scientists . He even fccin witnessed a baby morphing unto a giant after being injected by a serum .

Kryst could still hear the painful cries of that pitiful baby as the baby's skin started tearing up from the forceful speed of his growth .

He witnessed his co- test subjects dying from the crazy experiments those scientists have done to them . 

Kryst held his temple and felt his brain heating up from the stress and trauma he had in his previous life .

Ygdrassil suddenly lifted the toddler and made a hammock from his vines and lulled the toddler to sleep .

" Take a rest little one ... Those are all in the past now , you're no longer their subject . Shhh , sleep ... "

Kryst wryly smiled and slowly spread his small palms on each side of his head . The baby's tensed muscles gradually relaxed under the gentle sways of the hammock .

--

In an ancient world , in a place inhabited by the tree people , a certain witch opens his eyes .

The gigantic tree slowly morphed into a slender green haired man and looked up to the heavens with thoughts unknown .

One could see tightness of his clenched fist seemingly restraining the intense emotions burning within his chest. 

" The prophecy was right ... Our world will be welcoming the birth of the new race favored by mother nature . "

The green haired man panted in excitement . " And these creatures were particularly close to us . " 

One tree man walked beside the excited witch and sighed thinking that their witch is being delirious again because of his forsights of the future .

Kryst's life have been monotonous as time passes by , ploughing lands , sowing seeds , sprinkling water and plough again became his daily routine . After he finished those sessions , he would proceed to reading the books snatched by Yggdrasil from the lab and learned about the characteristics of his race .

Talking about elves , Kryst had long since noticed his pointy ears , when he learned of his pointy ears , Kryst wanted to find a mirror to see his reflection but unfortunately , there's no mirror among the things Yggdrasil snatched .

It is written in the book that Elves were so good looking and looks ethereal but Kryst didn't dwell on that matter because he himself know that his looks were already at the top in his previous world and he's already numb to it .

Second , Elves have good eye sights! They were especially tailored to the sniper occupation! Such information made Kryst feel a little delighted inside .

Kryst wanted to know more about their race , but these fccing scientists were so obsessed towards the Elves' beauty that they did not even write the development of the race .

Well , of course they wouldn't know about how Elves' would develop since the first elf has yet to be born at that time . Kryst was disappointed for a while then immediately move on to the next book .

But the books left were for the killing machines cultivated by the lab .

Martial arts , energy mobilization , manipulation , energy conversion , military excercises and medicine studies .

" What am i supposed to do with these? I am just a fccin' toddler . " Muttered Kryst and arranged the books properly .

But he was more interested with herbs study . Unfortunately there's no plants around him yet and he have to collect it from the world outside. 

" Elves have a natural affinity to nature , studying herbal plants is also good for you.  If you accumulate knowlege for the future generations , in case of someone getting wounded , we wouldn't have to panic about dying of loss of blood or desease . "

Kryst who was encouraged by the Tree of Life then took a first step towards the path of healing .
