The strongest being

I was the leader of the "Federation". The sole government of the world where i used to live. I obtained the title through hard work for countless hours and having the faith of the people. With me the world trancended every other era in every aspect of life. We developed colonies that was a product of space travel programs made possible with the advancements of technology made by the technocrat cities. We ended the utilitarian system where the majority of the world was effected by hunger and thirst for clean water. We created judgement systems where no man would DARE to do sordid deeds. And by these actions of mine, the world finally became a heavenlike place. But of course every life has an end and mine came too eventually. I was satisfied with my life, it helped the people, the world to become better. And apperantly, God also took a liking to me because of these. Sending me to a holiday with abilities to make my life easier. Telling me: "Youve done enough, you have earned a vacation." I was happy at start that i got a vacation from the god itself, making my self esteem fly sky high. I mean who gets a vacation from the god itself right? But oh boy, was i wrong. This was no vacation...

Evil is subjective

(W.N: I will use ''sentence-here' for nae's thoughts and 'sentence-here' for the mcs thoughts)

''I cant believe you've done this. Binding the most powerful being to a mere human... How shameless you can get!?' She tried to make me feel bad with the hope that i release her, but i wont fall for this.

'Shut up. I will live this life to my hearts content. First of all you werent interested in teaching me any further. I could just see that in your lazy way of telling me that i couldnt use magic at all. But here is the thing if my estimations are correct then we are in an age where humanity is still using imperial systems which means that the strong is always right if the strong party has good relations with the kingdom. Which i plan heavily on doing. I cannot loose my time with having no core or no guide. I knew that i couldnt bind you to myself without a powerful enough core, given that you are the strongest being, the angel had to give me purple core if he was going to do what i asked which he didnt at first. So i persuaded him a little and everything worked just as i planned.'

She looks amazed. Looking at me with an approving gaze.

''You planned all this? Well, being with a guy that is this wise cannot be a bad thing. And i was starting to get bored having nothing to do...' She says, again just as i guessed she liked strong people. And the most powerful strength is brains, they have never let me down...

''So, what now' She asks.

'You tell me everything you know about this world. my encyclopedia registers them and then we start our journey. Oh and where are we exactly?'

''We are in my.. Your.. pocket dimension. I took you here in case that the guardian wouldnt show up to stop us and kill us both in case you were a very powerful being and i had to get the formula of time manipulation from you via force. But it seems it wasnt needed. To exit here all you have to do is stop giving mana to this dimension.'

'Wait a minute, i am giving mana to this dimension? Why dont i feel anything then?'

''Ahh it seems a through lecture is needed. Listen here young man.'

Then she started telling me about mana and ways of using/circulating mana.

*Mana category added to encyclopedia

With her lecturing it was easy starting to feel the 'mana' leaving my body so i was able to stop it and all of a sudden we were back in the green plains.

Then she started lecturing me about the lore of this world, supposedly the name of the planet was 'Avinn', and according to the knowledge she gave me this world had a consciousness? It seems that there were 4 areas in this world that had guardians protecting the balance of powers or something. Whenever a madmen defied the taboo of this world the guardian of that area went and destroyed the soul of that madmen itself.

The taboo was pretty straight forward:

-Do not use forbidden magic.

I mean if it is forbidden then it means it is forbidden? Why would anyone try something that is forbidden by the world itself?

Then she said that these guardians were not absolute and one could become one of them if they could beat that guardian. Some of them were secretly governing that areas kingdom even. She told me the reason why she wasnt one was because she didnt like the idea of working for someone, and it wasnt even someone but something.

She told me that there were 4 kingdoms total, one on each continent. And none in the antarctica looking place. The biggest one was the kingdom of humans named 'Niagara'. This kingdom was the most powerful becuase of the greediness of humans on every subject that they can get their hands on. Niagara was at the downside of the map.

She said that we are currently in the demihuman country 'Elegriph' the third biggest country to the left. It seems that demihumans were lesser versions of the legendary creatures such as nae herself and many others that was diluted with humans, thus the name. Nae said that apart from one of the kingdoms that was this very kingdom elegriph, every other was governed by imperial order. Elegriph on the other hand was oligarchic that the governing group was made of one of every demihuman species. Nae said that she didnt know how many species there was but she said that half wyverns was a thing and they were the most powerful ones on this continent.

Anyway, a lot of boring things later she finally finished. She told me that she didnt many subjects that the humans were very good like alchemy, magical engineering,

'I am thinking of going to school as your knowledge is very old and incomplete as you have said and this is a good way to learn the ways of the people. One question tho, what we will do if they try to measure our strength? You said that if i expose my power right away they will try to kill me..'

''Its easy to cloak your real power, you just have to set a limit on your core to make it as powerful as a lesser version. You can do it by forcing the mana out and keeping it there so that you have less mana. There is no way of knowing the grade of the core without a pair of eyes that are capable of seeing the mana of a person directly, thats because Whichever grade your core may be the mana that comes out will take the color of it due to assimilation of the mana. And as i said no human has that power.'

'One last question, how do i use your power?'

''Just think about it and i will give it to you. Can you give my body back? i dont want to be stuck here forever..'

'How do i do that exactly?'

''Just try to think of me materializing'

Right after i think about her coming next to me she just appears out of nowhere. Still as beautiful as ever but still angry, she comes next to me very fast and then i feel the impact of her fist on my nose as i fly backwards.

I land, im pretty sure, 15 meters away.

''THAT WAS FOR BINDING ME AGAINST MY WILL!!!' She shouts.

'Ahh what did i expect... She deserves at least punching me though..'

I stand up while my bleeding nose suddenly stops bleeding after 5 seconds? I look at my hand and see my blood on it. Many memories resurface and i remember how much i did because of this substance on my hand in my previous world. But now it didnt had any effect, i was free now from doing anything i didnt want to do. I look at the black&purple beauty in front of me and think about the things we will do together now that she was bound to me.

This was a new world,

new possibilities...

'First things first we need to go to the human kingdom Niagara. What is the fastest way?' I say.

''I believe that would be via ships, but do you have any money for that?'

'Can't you just fly us to there?'

''I could, but i wont. I am still angry.'

'Welp, we will need to earn some money then.'

''And how do we do that exactly?'

'I may just make you a prostitute if you continue like this.' Why am i so mean?? oh well.

''Yea? Then i may just make a skewer out of you if you so wish!' She looks so angry that im a little bit scared.

'Yea? Then i may just make you unmaterialize and stay like that forever!' Her demanour turns 180° and she shudders at the thought.

''Please no, anything but that!' She pleas.

'Then carry us there'

''But what happens if anyone sees us flying?! have you thought about that?!'

She has a point. I really did not think of this.

'Fine, then we will need to find some little jobs until we gather enough for a one way ticket. But for all of this we need to go to a city that has a port for this. Do you know any place like that?'

''No, i really had nothing to do with any town at all..'

'Where is the closest town? We need to start somewhere...'

''A little ahead.'

'Show me the road...'

We started to walk...

That was how we started our lifelong journey.
