The main world.
In a very calm forest.
If you looked at this forest you might not notice any abnormality. After all, this is how the forest should be.
Calm, clean, and full of life... But the calmness of this forest made it look so dead...
Somewhere In the forest, there is a huge cave that looks empty. Apparently, there is no creature living inside.
In this dim and calm empty cave, suddenly a blue vortex appeared in the void.
*WUGH*
From the middle of the vortex, a little figure came out from it. Then the vortex disappeared again.
"UGHHA! What is this! Head hearts!" This figure is actually a little white-haired human child who's wearing armor that is much bigger than him.
Even though we said human... But if you looked at his sharp ears, and eyes color, you will realize that he only looks like a human. But he should be another race.
This little boy stood there holding his head from the pain, apparently, he bearing a huge pain from his head right now.
But this pain kept only this for a few minutes. And soon calmed down and disappeared.
"Huh, what was the pain just now? where is everyone?" After feeling the pain finally disappeared, The little boy said with a tired voice, turned his face looking around, but he found that he's alone.
"Mar... Wait.... what's wrong with my voice?" Suddenly the little boy noticed something wrong.
While talking just now he found that his voice is not how it is supposed to be, not only this he also found that something is wrong on his body.
Looking at his small hand, the boy started panicking.
"No this wrong!" The boy started panicking. He directly opened the pocket and took a mirror from inside.
Looked at his reflection in the mirror, the boy realizes how wrong his situation is.
Silver bright big eyes, long eyelash, clean skin which is very surprising how clean it is. Small fat face, looks so cute, especially with the two small but long pointed ears from both sides. And his white snowy hair was unusually long all the way to his legs.
The first idea that appeared in Gray's mind was....* Who is this cute girl?"
Seeing the girl looking at himself from the mirror, the boy raised his hand to test something.
But the girl did the same...
*slap* the little boy slapped himself.
Feeling the pain from his cheek, he woke up completely.
*slap* But he still slapped himself again. Just to make sure that he's really awake.
"....." Looking at himself in the mirror for a few seconds, the boy wanted to slap again but forced himself to stop.
"What the hell is happening here!!!! Why did I change like this!!!" The small voice of Gray started panicking and asking himself what just happened.
Yes, he's Gray who just came to the original world, completely not knowing what happened in the nothingness.
After little panicking Gray finally forced himself to calm down and thought of what he should do first.
So he took a few papers from his pocket.
Looking at those papers moving in a few different directions, Finally Gray sighed of relief. At least he knows nothing wrong with the others.
After seeing this, Gray calmed down and started thinking.
First, why he appeared here alone and separated from the others? And looks like not only him, but everyone else also separated in completely different directions, after all those papers are pointing to a few different directions.
What are those papers? it's called Vivre Card.
Vivre Card is made from part of a person's fingernail which is then made into paper. It is completely water and fireproof but can be torn and given to a cared person that one would be separated from.
The torn pieces will point to and move towards each other no matter where they are in the world, allowing one to always be able to tell in which direction the other person is.
This card also has another name "Paper of life"!
Vivre Cards also display the life force of their owner. If the life force of the person who gave the Vivre Card is disappearing, the card will begin to burn. It will grow back to its original size if the person recovers, but disappears completely if the person dies.
So from this Gray know that everyone is okay.
But he doesn't understand why is this happening.
After a few seconds Gray couldn't help but of what Baccarat said before.
Something sad.....
Is it this what was she talking about? Did something wrong happened in our way in the vortex? Many questions appeared in Gray's mind, but he's not sure about any of them for now.
But if the sad thing is just a little separation he can accept this.
Then the second question... Why did he turn to a child like this? This fact is completely unacceptable for him!
He was struggling because of his weak body all the time and even his skills weren't able to use them completely before. But what is the meaning of this???
He didn't even reach the body power he always wanted! and now he's a child?
If Mary saw him in this situation...
Thinking of this, Gray couldn't help but shiver...
"Well... I should go find them fir...." Gray thought of moving between the shadows and was ready to teleport and find them, but suddenly he stopped.
"My power....." Gray suddenly felt something remarkably wrong.
He can't enter his shadow... or even use his dark shadow source anymore.
"Huh?" Gray didn't panic and tried to feel his power, and soon he was able to feel the darkness inside him, but this darkness made him feel..... unfamiliar... As if... something more within this darkness disrupting his control!
Besides even though he can feel it, but this darkness actually doesn't listen to his control? As if... It's refusing him?
This is weird ...
Gray looked at his small hand then took the C.P detected from his pocket.
He didn't use it since he became fourth level Awakener...
Looking at the detector for a few seconds Gray closed his eyes and scanned himself.
Then he looked at the number the detector gave.
[600 C.P]
Looking at this number Gray almost fainted in his place.
He already felt how weak this small body is, but he never expected it will be so weak like this!
600 C.P so much? He can see that more than half of these points are from the source that he can't inside him.
Gray stood on his place for a few seconds thinking about how he should fix this.
"Since am so weak like this then all my abilities..." Gray suddenly thought of something.
But didn't think much and started testing directly.
And here's the results.
His Dark shadow source can't be used...
His mutant magnet control gene is still there. But if his control level was 50 now it's 5...
His elf bloodline still there. Which can be seen from his ears.
All his skills still there. But... All the skills that rely on his body fall down to a very weak point.
Even Observation and Conqueror Haki who's relying on mental energy fall down with his body's downfall. The mental energy and physical energy is like two parts that completing each other, you can't have one without the other. His small body can't have the same mental energy of his adult body.
And finally his awakened ability... Still the same.
Seeing all this, Gray finally calmed down. He can understand. After all, almost all of those skills are connected with his body. So its only natural that they also fall with his body.
It's just his Dark shadow source that made him annoyed.
"*sigh* Staying here can't fix anything, first find the other while seeing my luck if I met something could help me...." Gray knows that he shouldn't stay here for long, the other might already be on their way here.
So he took his armor back to his pocket and used new clothes since his armor is not suitable for his small body anymore.
After doing all this, finally, Gray stepped out of the cave and took the papers on his hand.
"Which direction should I go first?" Gray looked at the papers for a few seconds and soon decided.
"Mary, Tauriel, and Legolas is strong enough to take care of themselves... But Baccarat and Perona....." Gray couldn't help but worried about the.
But thinking about Baccarat, the one who met her, will probably be the unlucky one, so she should be safer then Perona...
After many thoughts, Gray finally decided to go to Perona's direction.
So he simply chooses the way started running.
...
But what Gray didn't notice all the time, that there was an extra shadow watching him all the time from the moment he came back to the main world.
"Hmmmm This little cute thing..... looks so interesting" A voice appeared from somewhere and said while looking at Gray who's leaving the cave.
