Awakening

*crack*

*crack*

Something fell from the sky, rain? hail? no, it was squares around the size of a marble that gave off a crimson colour and steam following closely behind each one. My body gradually heated as I realized that the squares were at boiling temperature and made black spots around my cut sleeves.

"Wait were in phase 2, so does that mean I can use magic," I opened my clenched fist and whipped it through the air. I took my second arm and firmly held the other that had an opened fist and screamed.

"BARRIER,"

Water, with a straight flow, came out from the cracks in the earth and headed into the air to where my fist was facing.

Earth, the cracks widened letting more water out but also sending gravel, dirt, and stone into the air.

Fire, the squares that fell from the sky opened and fire gushed out also in the air.

Wind, the wind formed a small tornado around me and finally joined with the other elements.

The 4 elements revolved with a great demand and almost beating me down straight into the earth. My veins were getting broader and showing to the world. Squinting my eyes hoping nothing bad would happen but suddenly the A. I voice returns and a message pops up.

*New element unlocked, Void*

"Void" as bewildered as I was I continued to focus all my spirit into the barrier to defend myself. I slowly look up but this time not squinting and notice that the 4 elements which enveloped me turned black, what is that.

*Answer, That is the element you unlocked "Void"*

What does the element "void" do?

*Answer, mastering the element void will allow you to control all space and time*

Damn, that's overpowered, with this I can win this "Heaven Royale" or whatever with ease I thought

*Yes, but first you will need to learn how to control it. Right now you can only warp space to make a barrier*

I filled my head with excitement and raced to the edge of the cliff and glanced directly at the village below me.

"Water" as I pointed my hand under me and leaped off the cliff into the ravine, it scared me but I was happy. All the emotions I could think about flowed through my mind, "whoosh" the water blew right through the sides of the ravine and made a slide for my feet. The wind stroked my hair and made my clothes flap, the water disappeared and I realized I was already on the ground.

"That was fun" as I walked in pain remembering the burns of the squares on my rigid body. 1 boy who sounded like he was 5, ran from my side and trembled in fear calling his elders.

"Papa, Stranger danger" and suddenly the creaks of all the doors in the village opened with men and woman running out to grab the child.

"My name is Arata and I am the elder of this village, Identify your yourself and why you are here"

I quickly pulled out my arms and threw them in front of my body revealing the 3rd-degree burns. The villager's eyes grow wider by each passing second, and one of the females approach me and ask "Have you been hit with the sorcery".

"are you referring to the crimson squares" I reply with a confused face.

"Yes", she runs and grabs me by the arm, Then she pulls me all the way to the biggest building in the village. "This is the hospital, and I specialize in treating sorcery wounds". She softly puts me on the bed and tugs on my arm as they lay peacefully on my torso. I close my eyes because of the comfortable position I was in, but the pain of something penetrating my skins makes me fall asleep.

I wake up in unfamiliar surroundings, my eyes falling upon a naked light bulb and bare concrete ceiling. Why am I here all of a sudden, I can feel I'm about to lose it, so I review what I can remember of what happened. I'm sure I was taking into the hospital with the female of the village, I don't remember moving from there or meeting anyone either.

*Checkpoint Reached*
