00: The Vestages (prologue)

"Why the hell are you doing this ?" the man shouted with his body covered in blood.

His shoulder showed his bone joint due to the whole skin and muscles loss from that place. 

The background itself gave a heavy despair as the only thing that can be seen behind was remnants of what used to be a civilization.

The man stood alone in the piles of bodies, some of his allied races, others of his opponents. Albeit it doesn't matter now as all of them become equal in his eyes.

The only inequality was the person once his comrade present in front of him holding the 'source'.

He doesn't understand the reason why she was doing this. 

They both sacrificed close to the same amount to save the world they hold dear however now she was choosing his selfish reason. 

" **** Why are you doing this now? You know that through this we can make everyone alive once again. All the infrastructure, all the technology and all of our happy lives we can get them back once more."

" NO " she shouted.

" They won't come back. Never ever. They won't." 

" We have to live all those times once more. As those who lie behind everything still watch us. I myself don't know why but maybe this time it will be different. Maybe this decision of mine will surely save everyone."

"Who decides your decision is right? And the hell is still watching us? There is no one who stands above the powers of me and you. It doesn't matter if you and I were standing on different sides earlier. If we come together now we can use the 'source' to create a happy world, reminding you" the man retorted all of woman claims.

" Also.. remember we two were lovely couples once? We can be together once more, have children and live a happy life too. You have to change your decision for our better life" with a shine on his eyes the man tried to sway her with his words.

" I can only see a little further than you because I am not as greedy as you. The world you want to create is yours, not everyones. Lastly we were never a lovely couple. After all, as you said at that time, I was the one who lacks not you " the woman replied.

" I hope I will never meet you in the next life. It was bad seein– " the woman's words stopped midway as a three head spear pierced her chest. The source of his fall down on the ground as she lost balance due to the spears velocity.

" It would have been better if you had accepted my offer. After all I really don't want to do this, reminding you" the man said as he walked towards the women with his limping body and a smirk on his face.

Confirming itself the winner of battle.

" I knew you *puah* would do something like this. But it doesn't matter anymore. It was bad meeting you d8ckhead " the woman spoke with an angry expression on his face.

The 'source' glowed brightly following the function it was designated to do.

The wish of the caster was already acknowledged as what that glow meant. The man who knows this very deeply shouted in a fanatic voice for its denial but to no avail.

He himself has used it the most and was used on him the most. Thus he knew its function very well but he still tried to deny everything. 

The moment the 'source' will be executed, all of his plan and all growth that he painstakingly got till now will be gone forever.

The man as a last ditch try to hold the glowing 'source' which by mere touch incarnates his fingers to dust. His whole body got incarnated and soon the entire world. 

No one survived as they never meant to be.

But his wish also got an acceptance albeit not whole. 

~~~

Outside of the plane

The dimension of the infinite axis, no beginning and no end.

The esteemed one watched it whole with a sigh as if he was getting bored which he never could. As he can never be guessed, deduced nor understood. 

"Same as the same, they didn't reach the answer. 

But I have to do what I have to do. 

The wish this time is TWO?" the esteemed one assesses the situation in nth millisecond of a second.

"An anomaly. 

Maybe this is what Shakti wants too.

I can't perceive the falling leaves as deeply as I can perceive a growing one. 

However i can feeling this is one of the correct way to go" 

The esteemed one becomes quiet once more. With a clap of his hands the world started once again. With the layering of new wishes on top of all the existing ones. 

The esteemed once again focused his attention on it.

As the vestige of ages began once more to carry out its duty and fulfill the promise with shakti.

It defines his name once more through his actions. 

The world who carries the vestiges of ages.
