Return

Kent's senses, which had been frozen for some time, started to recovering.

"It succeeded, but is my head supposed to hurt this much?'

Kent instinctively knew that, he had really returned to the past, after using the Fate-Time stone it was a guarantee that he'll return to the past.

The Fate-Time stone is a one time used Treasure that had a similar value to item's of Universal rating.

"A priceless item indeed. For it to succeed" Kent mutter, as he feel sense his current state.

Kent shook off his headache and checked the surroundings, a small tear drop appear beside his eyes.

'so this is what they called tears of joy, what time have I come back to?'

He needed to know what exactly time in the past he had come back to.

Observing the surrounding's, Kent found himself lying in a bed.

"I'm hospitalized?"

In a room in a General hospital, Kent was changing his clothes as he was listening to his doctor.

"Please make sure to avoid any intensive exercise and come back if you feel sick again, you need to take care of yourself more."

"Thank you so much, doctor."

Kent reply bowing.

He looked out the window at the sight of the city beneath the hospital building and the blue sky above. With a flock of cumulus clouds slowly flying over the sky, the whole world seemed placid and peaceful.

"It's rather awkward every time I see it."

It had been a month since he was hospitalized. For four weeks of recovery, he had looked out the window like this every day as he enjoyed the peaceful sight.

Kent let out a heavy sight.

He had return 50 year's back in the past before the earth's destruction and earthling's migration.

Every time he checked his smartphone, he was surprised that it felt like everything that had happen is nothing but a dream.

it's like a dream for him, it looked like a dream for Kent, facing bloody wars, surviving through disasters, facing of Chaos, it gave off the feeling where everything that he had gone through were all lie's.

Though it was confusing at first, it wasn't hard to accept as time passed. He was now quite attached to this temporary peace.

He still have a month before the earth's destruction and migration occurred.

Currently the world where earth humans where supposed to migrate is still a game and is yet to be lunched.

A game that is yet to be lunched, the earth's god made a contract to this Supreme Worlds will to allow earthlings to migrate.

The world was called "Celestial" the Celestial World, a world a 1,000 time's larger than that of earth.

A extremely large world that held a long history to it, where mythical and divine creatures exist and roam the lands.

A cruel world where the strong strive while the weak suffer.

After being released from the hospital, Kent head straight to the bank and borrow money.

Using his bank account, doing some paperwork, Kent borrowed twenty million credit's that should be paid after three months.

Kent arrive at a secluded lake on the cities outskirts. He had already made his way down to the lake.

As he walked along the path that hugged the lake shore, he sensed the ebbs and flows of energy around him very carefully.

While he lost the skills he accumulated for the past centuries in the "Celestial World" it didn't stagnate Kent, his the wisdom and experience didn't disappear.

The essence was not static it flowed like water and always headed toward the area with a lower essence.

On very rare occasions, the essence would pool together, forming what the aura user's would call a battle force.

Nearing the center of the sun-compass river fall, Kent could distinguish the large amount of essence increasing as he got near.

Kent found the huge Balete tree that permeated a large amount of spiritual essence, he sat cross-legged, facing the sun-compass river fall.

Nestled beside the developed urban spaces, sun-compass, was one of the only few remaining lake's in General City.

Many residential houses, commercial buildings, and hotels were built around the Lake. This is one of the reasons for the Earth's upcoming end, because of the counties destruction of natural nature resources the world's, essence slowly but surely being neutralize disappearing through the face of the world weakening the world itself.

Sitting under the Balete tree, Kent let the breeze comb through his hair as he relished the refreshing cool air from the lake that is composed with large natural essence.

Kent begun to established his foundation preparing early on for the near future.

The game is yet to be lunch, he still have 3 day in time before it's release so Kent planned to increase his aura for the time being preparing for the near future.

Nonetheless, there were still many things that loom in his mind, Kent should feel grateful for. For one, he was miraculously given another chance to start all over again.

Kent gathered himself up and started the Chaotic Void Forging Purification Technique.

The art was not only useful for harnessing essence from any type of essence purifying the energy while converting it to a energy most compatible to himself, but was also effective in straightening one's flesh and bones. It was a good way to improve both internal and external prowess.

As he gradually progressed with the essence gathering, his body seemed to become like that of a black hole it sucked various types of energies throughout the surrounding into him.

The air around Kent was soon devoid of any life, so much so that even the breezy wind became stifled, spatial fluctuations and distortions begun to show signs of appearing.

He was so engrossed in his essence gathering that he nearly forgot the passage of time. The moon rose and fell, and before he knew it, it was a brand new day.

As the sun rose above the placid lake, Kent suddenly opened his mouth as a white light streamed out from it. The light shot up a few dozen meters into the air. The strange blue light didn't disappear until it had hovered above Kent for another few minutes.

Kent slowly opened his eyes when his essence gathering was finally done. If anyone had been paying attention to him, they would find the his eyes shone like that of a non-human being.

Kent's pupil's turned silver blue while his iris gave off a multicolor radiance like stagnant sea being bath in a starry rainbow.

"What an amazing accomplishment! Although this is the first time I attempted essence gathering in earth, I am already well into the peak level of stage 1 at this rate, I should be able to reach stage two in a couple days.

The fast rate of progress in an environment that is deprived of essence had surprised him. Even do the world is slowly dying the essence it gave off is still abundant for it's inhabitants.

Although he was convinced that it had something to do with his past life's experience, he was thankful to the owner of the Chaotic Void Forging Purification Technique for letting him inherit such amazing technique.

Kent picked himself up and shook his body, and the energy within his system made a continuous popping sound like that of firecracker's, he closed his fingers and felt his body was bursting with energy.

He turned around and punched the nearby rock beside him, the rock trembled before bursting out exploding as countless debris flew off everywhere.

Kent gaze at this sight with a satisfied expression.

"I can stop a rushing truck-kun with this strength, bullet's isn't a problem either my physical prowess isn't to be underestimate either."

"Still! I have a long way to go." He sighed. He looked up and noticed the nascent sun shining above the surface of the mountain covering the lake.

He realized that he had been sitting there for a whole night and day. To his surprise, he was not at all tired.

Although he didn't succumb to exhaustion, he felt hunger, he patted his belly and decided that it was time to go and eat.

As soon as he was out of the Balete tree's view, he saw three people walking toward him.

There was a woman in a wearing a exercise suit boasting a threatening curvaceous figure, she had a pitch black ponytail hair. She had features telling that she had a Eastern descent, but they were also composed of a certain softness that was characteristic of mix blooded women perhaps it was her mixed heritage that blessed her with such beauty and charm.

Walking beside an middle age looking man wearing a martial suit of that resembling Chinese lineage. Trailing behind the two was a middle age man with a fit body and pair of sharp eyes wearing a complete black uniform, in a single glance one could tell the men following the two is a bodyguard.

The girl of the group pulled her hair in a ponytail, her beautiful face held a cold and distant expression.

Kent was still immersed in the joy through his achievement, therefore, he didn't think too much about the other party not paying much attention to them shrugging of this normal encounter. He passed the three strangers without even sparing them a glance not caring at all.
