Chapter 1: Philippium Element No. 323

A singularity is drifting across empty space in the 3rd Dimension in the <Infinite Abyss>. When suddenly, the singularity stopped drifting and began pulling energy out from nowhere.

Four beings arrived at the location of the said singularity. The size of the singularity compared to these beings are like the singularity is the size of a marble in their hands.

"Hey, this will be our first universe, right? Asked Death towards the other three.

"Yes, seems like it." Life answered.

The singularity is reaching its critical point and at any moment, it will explode to form a universe.

"I wonder how long this universe will last." Asked Father Time.

"Hey now, it's still just the beginning and you're already asking about the end of this universe!" Mother Space said with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Well, I can't help it!" Father Time rebutted.

"Think about me! I wonder if I could hold all of this while it will keep on expanding!" Mother Space said.

"Now, now. Stop arguing and let us guide and nurture this singularity with our variables." Life said as she hovered her hand at side of the singularity.

The other three shrugged and did the same as Life covering four sides of the singularity.

The singularity feed off of the variables and reached its maximum point and exploded at point blank against the beings!

This will be known throughout history as <The Big Bang>

A second has passed and the surroundings have been filled with protogalaxies. What the four beings saw within that one second astonished the beings.

"It's beautiful!" Life said astonishingly.

They witnessed the birth of quarks to atoms up to the birth of the first galaxies and stars. The four beings had a smile on their faces, then suddenly, they felt a chill and turned around towards the origin of their shock.

"What is that?!!" Death shouted.

No one answered Death's question as no one knew the answer.

A golden rock flew past the four beings and split them apart. Death is with Father Time and Life is with Mother Space. They are sent to their own and respective realms to govern their respective variables in this universe alone.

The golden rock is double the size of the four beings combined! But the rock is shrinking its size as it goes space and probably time. The rock is headed to what seems to be a spiral protogalaxy and the rock kept on shrinking.

The four beings cannot do anything but let the force take their beings into their respective realms. Death was thrown to this dark and gloomy realm. Their was a pond in the middle with a wooden boat and a fishing rod.

"Am I supposed to fish here?!" Death asked and no one answered.

Something is compelling Death to head towards the boat and start to "fish". He let go of his <Death Scythe> and let it hover around him while he fished. He then turned around to Father Time.

"Hey, Father Time, what are we suppos-"

Death stopped his words as he saw Father Time just standing beside the pond like a statue. He seemed to be in a stasis of some sort, but time seems to flow out of him into his surroundings. Their are times that are flowing smoothly, others are flowing sporadically, others seem to be cut only to be joined by another flowing time, and others are joining and fusing together which in turn becomes one smooth slowing time.

"Whatever." Grumbled Death.

On the other hand, Life was thrown onto a luscious garden with a number of flowers, vines, bushes, and a single tree. Life was mesmerized at what she saw and she walked towards the giant tree.

"<Tree of Life>" Life read the reading in the unsuspicious branch that is protruding out of the lower trunk of the tree.

"Mother Space, are you seeing this?" Life asked.

There was no answer.

"Mother Space?"

There was still no answer.

Life felt lonely, but then, she noticed the space around the garden flowing gracefully. The space seem to lead her to a location in the garden. She found a necklace, an amulet, and picked it up. She saw condensed space inside the amulet and concluded that this is Mother Space.

Life went back to the <Tree of Life> and placed the amulet on the branch then she sat in front of the tree with her back against the trunk. She then place her <Life Sword> in the ground beside her and closed her eyes. Countless vines started to protrude out from the ground and wrapped her legs and around her waist, flower began to bloom among the vines, the higher branches of the <Tree of Life> began to reach out to Life and partially enclosed her to a cocoon. You could still see the beautiful face of Life and her slender body which emphasized the vines on her waist if anyone can ever find this place. The Space Amulet is unsuspectingly dangles in one if the branches.

By this time, the Milky Way Galaxy has been completely formed and a golden rock heads straight to the quadrant 3 of the galaxy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is now year 20XX, 3:23 am in the midnight. Somewhere in America, a certain man is dreaming, or rather, is having a nightmare.

He kept rolling on the bed, he is sweating bullets to the point that his bedsheets are soaked, and the house seem to shake. As to what it caused it, maybe the vibration of the bed because of the man's sporadic actions, or a mini earthquake, no one knows.

"No!" The man shouted while he punched air.

"Gaaah!!!" The man shouted again as he bounced on his bed, as if he fell from the ceiling.

Hours passed by and the man is still having nightmares. Then an alarm goes off.

*DIDIDIDINGGG DIDIDIDINGGG*

"AAAAHHHHH!!" The man screamed as he got up from his bed into a siting position and unconsciously smashed the alarm clock to stop.

"Ha... Ha... Ha..." The man is grasping his chest and head as he is gasping for air.

Moments later, the man finally calmed down and assessed the situation.

"..." The man stared blankly into the air. "That's weird... What just happened?"

The man seem to have not remembered what happened even though he just woke up from that nightmare. Heck, he even don't know that it's a nightmare.

"Eew! Gross! Why is my bedsheet soaking wet?! Did I pee?!!! If so, did I pee an ocean?! Even the floor is wet!!!" The man didn't know what to do with himself.

The man looked at the wall clock and it's already 7:13 in the morning. "Damn, I got to get ready, today is the biggest day of my life!"

The man left his ocean of pee and decided to clean his bed up when he returned from his work. He grabbed his towel and went to the bathroom to shower and he closed his bedroom door behind him.

As the man is oblivious as to what happened, when the man closed his door, the once fixed alarm clock suddenly crumbled to dust and the mini closet that the alarm clock is sitting on was split into two and the floor started to crack and branch off in every direction within 2 feet, including the wall.

It was already 7:56 and the man grabbed a metallic suitcase. Once his hand grasped the handle of the suitcase, mechanism reached out to his wrist and clamped it along his arm with the suitcase to avoid the suitcase being lost or stolen.

The man rode his personal car towards, Ylo Super Complex, the venue of his performance which was built under the name of his best friend and partner in life.

On the way to the complex, the man keeps staring onto empty space yet his subconscious guides his way without him bumping to any people or obstacles.

'What did I dream about? I know I dreamt of something and I know it felt good! I need to remember!' The man racked his brains in order to remember his dream.

"Excuse me." A woman is calling out to the man.

'I need to remember, but for some reason, it hurts my brain!' The man kept talking to himself, oblivious that someone is calling out to him.

"Excuse me!"

'Wait... What was that again?' The man still doesn't hear the woman. What a stupid fellow.

"PHILIP!!!" The woman shouted at the man, which was named Philip.

"Huh? Huh? What?!" Philip snapped out of his mental world.

"Finally, you noticed me, I've been calling out to you for over 20 times you know?" The woman said while pouting.

"Oh really? I-I'm sorry Ysabelle, I was blanking out" Philip said as he had a slight blush because of the woman, named Ysabelle, pouting.

'She's still so cute! Especially when she pouted. I would date her immediately when we were still in highschool, but her heart was already stolen by my friend Eduardo and they're already married! Such a shame' Philip said in his mind as he reminisced about their highschool life.

"Geez, why are you blanking out?! This is your big day, Philip! Cheer up!! You have made a groundbreaking element that will change the world or the universe!" Ysabelle said as he cheered up Philip.

"Yeah! You're right! I shouldn't have kept on thinking about this dream and look forward to presenting my element!" Philip enthusiastically said.

"A dream? Anyways, come! I will guide you to the backstage, Eduardo is waiting for you there." Ysabelle gestured Philip to follow her.

Philip followed Ysabelle to the backstage. Moments later they saw Eduardo and they approached him.

Eduardo kissed Ysabelle on the forehead before going to Philip.

"Philip! Nice to see you again! It has been a long time! Have you prepared your element?!" Eduardo said as he became somber when he haven't got in touch with Philip for 3 years when he was synthesizing his element.

"Nice to see you too, Eduardo. It has indeed been a long time! It's right here, inside this suitcase." Philip lifted his arm to show the suitcase to the two.

"5 minutes!!" A stage staff shouted as it was about time for Philip to present his element to the whole world.

The backstage stage is bolstering with staff and make up artists preparing Philip for his presentation.

"Hey man, don't be nervous okay? You can do this!! I know you can!" Eduardo said as he confidencially reassured Philip that he will be successful.

"Thanks man! I will do my best!" Philip said with confidence.

"It's time!!!" 5 minutes has passed and it was already 9:00 am as a stage staff shouted in the backstage.

"Godspeed!" Eduardo said Philip as he slapped his back.

"Go get them, tiger" Ysabelle winked at Philip.

Philip just smiled wryly. He keeps remembering that he had a dream but sometimes it just disappears like a bubble.

As Philip walked towards the stage, the curtain opened to reveal a bunch of spotlights and flickering lights from thousand of flashing cameras. There are are a hundred different cameras that is used to broadcast news from around the world. The air force just flew by on top of the open domed complex.

'This complex is jam packed!' Philip inwardly said as he walked to his designated podium.

The complex was filled with shutters from the camera and claps from everyone, along with the faint sound of helicopters outside the complex. Truth be told, there are 5 unmanned drones hovering above the complex above the atmosphere and is monitoring the surroundings.

A few moments later, Philip arrived at his podium and he placed the suitcase on a table in front of him. By this time, the clapping has stopped and only a few shutters of camera can only be heard. Numerous spotlights shone on Philip.

"Ladies and gentlemen! During my 3 years of research, synthesizing, and experiments. I finally have made the first man-made element in the universe." Philip proudly said

"Let's cut to the chase and skip all this nonsense introductory speech and jump to the exciting part, shall we?!" Philip didn't bother to have a long speech as he was excited to show his work.

A few people giggled to his notion as these people know the feeling of long speeches that makes a presentation boring.

"Everyone!!! I present to you..." Philip proudly declared as he entered the combination code of the suitcase and showed the whole world his work as the suitcase slowly opened while releasing compressed air.

"The Philippium Element!!!"
