Seak woke up and looked at the living quarters of the soldier he killed ' a memory ' he knocked on the opposite door and woke Nevil up ' Hey hurry up you idiot we don't have enough time they are going to fight him already "
Nevil was half asleep not caring that a voice was speaking to him in his head " I'm up " he got out of bed and opened the door " You should be wearing armor after leaving " " Oh shoot I forgot " Seak sighed and threw a wake up call at Nevil .
' And stop dreaming about a warm bed you are sleeping on a rock-hard bed without a pillow or anything between your body and the ground " ' Wow are you talking to my head ? ' ' No " ' You can read minds ? ' Seak punched Nevil's stomach and left him groaning in pain .
' Now that I am here I may as well go to the library ' Seak threw the body of a soldier he took the form of onto the bed and turned to a mage and entered the library .
He walked to a door that was labeled forbidden library ' Not gonna believe it ' he entered and looked at the mage ' wrong door ' he killed her and preserved her brain to simulate her actions while maintaining the mind control spell .
' Now to use that on her ... I still have to be careful a mage capable of such powerful mind control magic is definitely strong in spirit ... Although her soul is gone her brain was a product of that soul ' Seak experienced her life but was forced out of her unconsciousness .
' Well that was to be expected now it will take slightly longer , time outside the real world ' He started his training and if compared to the weak-minded corpse then this mind is like a rock .
...
' Dang Seak why can't you wait are you really wanting that library ? " ' Are you in love with him ? " ' No you weirdo " ' I'm not a weirdo I am your helper . " ' You have weird fetishes from what Seak had said you could've chosen another vessel yet you chose me instead " Nevil walked around and bumped into another soldier .
" Oh sorry man " Nevil apologized and quickly ran away from the soldier ' We nearly got found ' he turned to a few corners to see the soldiers and mages standing outside as instructed to prepare for the attack from rebels outside ' Seak is making it harder by telling Severus about the attack "
' That guy just wants to go one on one on Severus " ' Shut up I know that idiot would do something just for the sake of testing his magic under all this chaos " Nevil hurried to the throne room while avoiding any attention .
' You have to avoid the mages more all the soldiers are stationed outside and the mages are inside being controlled and used to supply the castle's spell defense "
' Shut up you would always stay quiet before and now that there is a battle you start to talk what the hell is wrong with you !? " ' Just go I didn't talk to you before because it was too much trouble and you weren't in danger so I was safe " ' From what exactly ? "
An explosion was heard in the distance Nevil had to summon a shield quickly to see Seak with a dead Severus " Just like that ? " " I want to avoid the scope now that there is this much chaos I will leave . "
Seak made a portal that leads to who knows where even he wouldn't know " Wait what the hell ! " he walked through eyes closed leaving the familiar land and looked at a big city ' What will you lead me to ? '
Nevil on the other hand was having a big problem " He just left like that ? That's so much of a crappy storyline " ' It is surprising " " Surprising would be a word for strangers " a small girl smiled looking at them through a portal " Huh who are you ? " " The one who left is my dad " a moment of silence to appreciate the peace " HE HAS A KID !?!? "
Seak walked to the city and was greeted by a person " You must be new here " " Hmm I didn't think my disguise would be seen through how do you know dear local ? " the local chuckles a little " Because you don't wear a terminal " " Terminal !? "
" Yes , you must be surprised to hear about it our city is connected directly to the Akashic Records . " Seak smiled " Oh that is interesting I would like to study it " " Great , then you will be excited to " " I don't need it I have different ways to learn than reading a book " the local were confused and Seak walked inside .
' Familiar , just like the way I thought ' while reading through a one-way link to find the information he walked through the familiar-looking city ' I see ' he continued to walk hearing people chattering he walked around like he was familiar reaching a building what looks like a school and checked the time " Hello I would like to meet Ahkasha "
" What do you want ? " Ahkasha appeared looking at Seak . He looked at him up and down making a satisfied smile " Just here to visit " Seak left the Academia and Ahkasha just shook his head " What a weird guy " Seak looked up and smiles instead of the usual soulless and boring one this was something else .
" I've been looking for so long now but I have a clue " he leaves the city to search for what he wants and he walked out of the city wandering around the path ' If it's here I'll be much closer '
This world is called Celestia's garden and it's self-explanatory ' I'm ready to leave this world soon ' he makes another portal again to go to the clue as he senses the realm he currently resides ' Pretty far physically but not in another sense ' Seak looked at the new realm to confirm one of his theories .
' I've traveled long enough ' Seak looked up to see stars flying to the world and used his clairvoyance not caring anything about being observed since he already has the pieces he needs . Travelers from afar beyond this world are one thing that could be imagined as the best way to give a main character random abilities .
Seak watched them get sent down for a battle to occur ' They need saving ' in a literal flash Seak teleported to the falling twin stars grabbing their hands before disappearing again ' And for the gods ' he tapped into their surprised faces sealing their powers away to prevent them from being marked as a target .
" A mortal shouldn't be meddling with my affair " Law sent attacks to take out Seak . He took the seal containing their powers ' Should be easy ' Seak opened a portal through time and send it towards Law .
Law had to dodge it since his position was meant to keep the law and order together by existing and to make a movement to quell bigger crimes ' In doing so I will be sending this entire world into a state of vulnerability a good way to keep out the rest of them ' Seak kicked the powers of the twin stars to Law as bait .
And threw a vortex version of the portal " See you a long time later " the small vortex flew to Law sending him and the power of the twin stars forward in time ' Now then I have only a little time left to leave this world they should have noticed but won't make a move unless Law is here to keep the damages minimal . '
He looks at the twin stars " So twin stars what say you and I travel together I sent Law forward in time as well as your powers " " Why did you do that ? " " It doesn't matter what I do cause you want your powers back and because Law isn't interested in you after you have been reduced to a mortal being they will be after me who sent your powers away . "
Seak said and could feel many eyes looking at him ' If it's now I can retrieve my memories again ' " You two follow me " Seak continued to walk " Who are you ? " Noah asked " You'll learn more about me for now you both have to stay somewhere " Noah looks at Misha and nods at her .
" Oh when did you leave ? " the local he met asked " Probably through the other side " Seak said walking in the city once more " You two stay at that bench remembered that I'm the only one who is the bait to get your powers back but you will have to wait . " Seak left them and Ahkasha found him .
" What are you doing outlander ? " Seak sighs and figured that Ahkasha knew about the travelers' entrance and his interference with Law " How about we talk later " before Ahkasha could grab him Seak disappeared .
He returned to a palace room and walked inside it as Nevil and Keula saw him " Hi dad " Keula said waving at him " Seak why did you leave ? And explain to me why you have a kid. " Seak ignored him and walked into the castle .
" Don't worry dad is always like this " Seak walked through the empty halls to see a door sealed shut with magic . He easily breaks through his own magic to see his real body " Another Seak ? " " Keula call your brother , I sent Law forward in time he also needs his memories back "
" Okay dad " Keula opened a portal where her older brother was sitting on corpse panting " Big brother dad's gonna return our memories back " " Can you carry me I've been pushing myself way too faaar " he fell and Keula used magic to lift him taking him out of the portal .
Seak focuses on his memories and retrieves them back while his kids get theirs too " What ? " to Nevil there weren't any changes other than a few glows " Amazing " Keula recalled a few memories finding them very fascinating " I'll be out for a while you two can stay in the hidden realm and make sure it stays that way "
He left once again and Nevil got mad " Did your dad neglect you ? " " He only neglected me " Sliko said " And I want to tell you something from our memories " " Brother you should warn him first " " Fine , Nevil what I'm about to tell you is forbidden knowledge of this world also the truth "
" Wait if it is forbidden then don't tell me " " auntie Nevil it's okay " " Auntie ? " Sliko was confused " Yeah she was a woman in his previous life " Keula said " Ugh " " I don't even need to ask how " Nevil said " Leaving that aside , knowing the truth doesn't get essentially hurt you unless you deny it like failing marks when you studied hard before the test "
" That sounds assuring if that is the case then you should know I can handle it right ? " " Yep since dad hasn't taken down the eternal stillness yet it's fine to tell you but don't tell anyone you'll get a few people in trouble " Keula warned him " Then can you give me a warning ? " Nevil was a little hesitant when Keula said the dangers " Okay after all Dad warned us about it too "
Keula looked around at Sliko leaving into his training grounds " What you are about to hear concerning the truth of the world , you have heard and imagined it but not close enough " " Meh as long as it's something I can handle then it should keep whatever knowledge you tell me from making me go insane " he laughed .
" Okay Nevil " Keula chuckled
...
Seak walked to the interrogation room where Ahkasha was interrogating the twin travelers ' This is awkward ' Ahkasha thought " Why did you send Law away ? " Seak looked at the twins seated on the chairs in front of a table .
" For a bigger picture " Ahkasha held his anger back " Law is the only person that keeps chaos from ensuing why do you think Law was given so much power by the divine creator ? "
" You of all people should know that your words don't hold meaning to someone who doesn't know so much " " You sent Law tasked to keep the order by merely existing to the future so the time between now and his return is vulnerable to other variables . "
" I know that " Seak's heavy words poke the balloon and let Ahkasha's anger out " There are more incomprehensible knowledge out there outlander " " I know that much , so why don't you sit back and watch what I do since if you try to interfere you know that gives you less freedom something you built after so many years "
Ahkasha gritted his teeth looking at Seak " Tsk , how do you know about my history , you're not just a mortal are you ? " " I'm not but I'll let you into a secret " " Whatever secret you know I " Seak sent a telepathic message and Ahkasha's eyes widened .
" You know about that ?!? " " That took enough convincing " Seak turned to the twins " As for you two you're coming with me , I have somethings to confirm " before Misha could do anything she and her brother teleported to the hidden realm .
" Your back ? " Nevil was still inside the room where Seak retrieved his memories " They told you anything ? " " Yep so let me into your schemes " " Suit yourself " Seak coldly replied and changed the room " Now then you two , what does your world look like ? Trust me I don't plan to search it I was only looking for a way to get out of this world learning about each other helps us build trust "
Hesitant but knowing that Seak was their only way to get their powers back they replied " Our home world was destroyed " Misha answered ' As predicted outlanders are too predictable ' " We traveled world after world hoping to settle in one but each time we couldn't do it " Noah continued .
" Tell me why can't you settle in each world ? " " Because there were gods watching out for us " " I see , then make yourself comfortable there won't be anyone watching you in this world " " Dad are you done ? " Keula peeked out of the door " Yes , you can do whatever you want "
Seak left the room looking at the city capital , there was a big structure that contains formation and drawings of his spells ' I'll be needing that later ' the hidden realm is a world Seak created to hide as the name stated .
He was ready to tackle the barrier the world made that allowed the two travelers to pass through due to an error ' I just have to prepare for it ' he decided to get ready by gathering everything he knows about the world by first accessing the ahkasha records .
' It's been years since I last knew about everything in the world , now the world has changed it isn't the same as I remembered ' Nevil found Seak again and tapped his shoulder " What is it ? " " So about what your kid told me " Nevil was still not comfortable about having his secrets known but knowing the secret of the world with someone who knows its truth sort of assured him .
" I talk to my helper about it and we came to an agreement to ask you about it , how did you know and is this the real you cause all that memory thing makes me think that this is or isn't you " " Both of them are me , the one you met was just one side and the one you're talking to is also another side of me "
" As for how I knew think of it as a dream I was just reminded today how I knew about this world when I woke up "
...
" Woah another world " Seak , when he was young like a child , looked around seeing the beautiful multicolored leaves , slimes , castles and distant floating islands in view " This place is so beautiful is there a guide or a status screen ? " Seak was excited to explore the world running towards a wooden bridge beside an inn and heard an explosion .
" Waa !!!??? " surprised by the explosion that went off he looked up to see gods fighting ' Run ' he speeded off to avoid any stray attack .
...
" And by the end of the dream , I realize that it was a dream so I woke up , I don't fully have my memories just fragments of the original one accessed through dreams " You abandoned those memories as bait to get away from whatever chased you ? " " Yes I can dream of other things but not all of them are possible for people considering they don't have the same position as me "
" But you were lucky to still have that vital truth of the world , but you abandon the memories they wanted how are you sure they won't go after you ? "
" Because I created the state of stillness this realm is wrapped with that state , imagine walking in a straight line nonstop and the whole world is a crowd following the same direction , staying still would allow me to avoid the crowd and that's what I did to the straight line "
" You went to great measures to avoid your crowd " " I only abandoned the important memories so they can leave me alone without knowing that I was the one who made those memories , but I did take a little power from them and created the hidden realm to expand my operation as Keula and Sliko invited outlander inside "
" Dad you're here and hello Auntie Nevil " Nevil was embarrassed to be referred to as "Auntie" because he used to be a woman " Please I'm a man now " " Okay uncle , dad about the two travelers you bought inside " " They should be with Keula " " Okay goodbye "
Nevil watched Sliko cut through space and walked to find Keula " ??? " dumbfounded by it Seak looked at Nevil arms crossed " Anything else ? " " Oh right forgot about it "
Nevil took a deep breath to compose himself and looked at Seak " So these memories you left behind you're after them ? " " Yes I also need more profound knowledge so I don't lose a fight against whoever is using my memories "
" I still can't believe your memories are the base of this world " " At this point , you may as well believe everything before coming here you used to dream of having god-like abilities while being normal so you should be able to think beyond that and about the base of this world it is more complicated than a normal base . "
...
Sliko looked at the table where there were light snacks and drinks " Big brother your here " " And why are you so quiet ? " " We don't know what to do " " Brother they don't talk to people that much " " What do you need from us ? " Misha asked " Nothing much I was going to ask about Law how did he send you plummeting down ? "
" He found us after we crossed this world's barrier and sent us down " Noah answered " Who is Law ? " Misha asked the two siblings and got an answer from Keula .
" It's better to use a much smaller scale of words , Law is like the regeneration of a living organism to keep it from dying , the injuries and wounds are variables like you outlander who has great power or knowledge , he will prevent you from using them by getting rid of you "
" I see so that's why he stopped us " Noah looked at them as they reminded him of Seak " As for the reason dad save you was that he plans to break out of this world and you two are outside this world but he has to grab some of his memories to guide him out of the world "
" Why does he need them ? " Sliko looked at Keula and she shook her head " It will be too much to handle if you dwell deeper , after all , Dad had to warn us before telling us " Misha felt that Seak was hiding a knowledge that could bring despair .
" Anyways since you two came from out of this world mind telling us a few things about it ? "
...
" So your dreams help you recover some of the memories you used as bait ? " " Yes that's why it was much easier to navigate the world we are in , the realms are part of the world of the divine creator uses magic and why I actually go to sleep despite a body that doesn't lack sleep "
" Yep heard that dreams are chaotic " " But they allow roots to grow from the branches " they arrived at the tower that gathers every detail of the hidden realm full of life despite the author not making it sound like the hidden realm was populated with people .
" This place is nice , good job in keeping it hidden from the horrible truth " " Why else would I put up a barrier to block off information ? " Seak entered the elevator followed by Nevil " This place feels like the center of the internet " " Except it records every detail from simple bodies down to their molecular structure "
The elevator took them to lower and lower floors until they arrive at a tree " What is that ? " " The tree I made to gather information " " You make it sound big but it's just people's thoughts " " It is but each thought gives different reactions for every condition they make that's why Vriksha has so many branches connecting to the possible scenarios "
" That sounds a lot like the multiverse " " You can think of it like that but it is surprisingly more complicated since multiverse is about events but Vriksha collects the possible branches of knowledge , necromancy is derived from healing since it fixes the body to animate it with the soul from something to something unrelated is what Vriksha can connect , just like my mind but in a constant evaluation "
Seak faced Vriksha and emitted a wave to scan the roots of ideas he is planning to filter out " So this is like an inspiration zone for you ? " " Yes I use it to expand my horizons the horizons my memories make are too big even though it was the past but it's because it was the past that it had greater ideas than I do so I created Vriksha to bypass that "
Particles of light floated to Seak's head and Nevil watched in amazement looking at them ' I still don't like knowing the truth of the world " ' Shut it if you didn't want to know you should've stopped me " Seak opened his eyes again as he sent more spells to the tower to organize .
" Now then I see that you will be staying in the hidden realm " Seak asked " Yep , though I hope the principal is fine over there " " She will be " Seak walked to the elevator and Nevil didn't want to be left behind the giant tree and followed him .
" So this Vriksha should be connected to the entire hidden realm ? " " No comment having this information paints a target at your back for my enemies though I suppose they might slip and learn the forbidden truth and experience the same stress as a child would when they choose between parents after a divorce they might deny the truth . "
...
Meanwhile the other side " Law is gone , we can't interfere with the world as much as before now " the divine creator said " What about Ahkasha ? " a god asked " He's fine he has been dwelling and Law informed me that there is no need to take him back , he will keep the world from danger when Law is gone "
The gods were concerned mostly by Seak and the twins " But who are these people ? " the goddess of magic looked at Seak and confirmed his existence " He is a scholar who is disgusted by strength and pursues only knowledge recreating my magic while dodging the Ahkasha and even bypassed our world once "
" Those twins are the same too " " Looks like Law was desperate " suddenly someone appeared a woman walked into the court looking at all the gods present " Welcome regulator " the creator smiles at the regulator .
" Thank you for the respect my Lord , as for you gods know that Law is gone , no one is allowed to observe the world any longer the world has already been interfered with due to your viewing "
The regulator left through her portal as the items to see the world was sealed " You all heard her we can't interfere even if it means to observe " the creator said smiling at the same time wondering how Seak manage to fight off Law .
...
" This city is amazing " Nevil looked at the book in his hand reading the contents " Hey Seak you should no wait a minute you probably read this since you used that thing for yourself " Nevil didn't want to say anything offensive since there should be a difference in culture according to him .
Seak walked on the grass plains after leaving Nevil and tried to feel any eyes and smirked ' Looks like there is no one watching me anymore I'll just use magic that won't be considered a variable and they won't make actions ' he walked on the grassy plains that grew from a giant corpse walking to a cave .
' This should be the blood of a titan ' a small lake was deep inside the cave where Seak teleported in ' I can sense a lot of magic in here the war must've killed it ' before the peaceful era of the world there was a war and many species went extinct but with the mercy of the creator there bodies were returned to the earth not forever unfortunately .
' If I follow further I should be able to find the lost city ' it was also in the mercy that some weak species can hide under the corpse ' But I'm not interested in that , they are not useful despite having technology that allows someone to wield the storms '
His hand reached out above the blood and he tries to see which species of titan this was ' Hmm , it exactly the same as what I remember looks like some parts of the world haven't changed yet ' Seak felt a presence and conjured a shield as Ahkasha stabbed it .
" You're here " unimpressed by Ahkasha's arrival he extracts the blood from the lake and pushed away Ahkasha with his free hand " You're back if I kill you things will be much easier " as the blood gathered to a sphere Seak finally turned to Ahkasha .
" A one-hand sword as expected " " As expected you really do have a connection to the Ahkasha records " " You can think of that if that way it doesn't hurt you " Seak said and once all the blood gathered Seak clenched his fist as the sphere glew blood red .
Ahkasha covered his eyes and saw Seak gone " Not again !!! " Seak played with the catalyst he just made sitting on a rock near Ahkasha ' So this is the absence of everything ' Seak smiles after he removed all the magic from the blood to get the void magic he wants .
" The void is everywhere yet impossible to see , must be why sis told me that matter occupies space but space occupies the void as it expands " he walked to Ahkasha and Ahkasha investigates the area for clues since he can't find where Seak went to .
Seak waved his hand to fan Ahkasha but there was no response " HELLO !!! " he yelled at Ahkasha's ear ' seems like this spell is too effective ' Seak looked at the catalyst which was just void unable to emit light or let anything pass through it .
Yeah , you need to know what the void is . Void is basically emptiness so it doesn't have matter and you can't feel it since it's just nothing . So only know that the void is nothing at all nothing as in empty of physical matter such as atoms , particles and anything that can be touched .
' I can get out with void magic but not that kind of getting out ' Seak grumbles wishing he can get back to his old world . He opens his hand on the void catalyst and closes it compressing the void instilling it on his arm and slamming it at the cave .
" Huh ? " Ahkasha saw the attack Seak made " Damn it someone used some invisibility spell " Ahkasha teleported out of the cave leaving behind an entropy .
The divine creator was also known as a being hailed from the primordial chaos that occupied the void the divine creator used the chaos to create worlds . At the same time create many entropy to allow anyone to borrow power from the primordial chaos .
The divine creator taught everyone how to use an entropy as long as no one takes too much primordial chaos the world won't be so chaotic , so the gods made some interference and weakened the connection of the primordial chaos to the entropy or someone might pass the limit by accident .
' Not a problem to me ' Seak can tell the connection between the entropy on his palm which had a frame showing its strength and attribute . He tried to feel the primordial chaos to cut his trip short if he gets lucky if not he does gain something from it .
He snaps back to see the single-colored entropy glow like a rainbow colors mixed in a pot without the colors dyeing each other " Still nothing but at least I got a small portion of the source of their power "
Seak used the void to cover its presence ' Now with this , I have the minimum requirement all that's left is to wait for Law to return it was going to be problematic if he goes too far or too close in the future so I have enough time to prepare measures against the current divine creator '
But Ahkasha was still having problems , such power was not possible mostly since he had everything within his expectations for having direct access to the Ahkasha records ' Is he an outlander too ? ' he received information from his connection with the ahkashic records that allows him to keep his mortal body .
' So the creator is telling me to watch out for this man and watch the world , I just have to make sure that the officers are active and scout far and wide just to lessen the damage . ' but what was worse is that Ahkasha didn't receive any information about Seak .
' For the divine creator to not even have specific information about this strange mortal makes me think that there is more to him than just possessing great knowledge . He may be an outlander but I can still find him '
Ahkasha thinks of the event when Seak destroyed the cave system " My entropy ? " he search all over his body for the trinket-sized weapon but couldn't find it ' Tsk I already made a mistake , but is it one ? That entropy was just one for mortals , not the ones rewarded personally by the divine creator . '
Ahkasha knows much information about the world which allows him to know everything and that includes the primordial chaos . So he tries to sense the entropy he dropped .
Seak could feel an eye knowing very well it was Ahkasha ' Sorry Ahkasha but I don't intend to visit you for a while ' Seak flicked the solid void repelling Ahkasha as he woke up like a human would from a dreamless sleep .
" What when did I slip into unconsciousness " Ahkasha looks at the sky with caution for Seak " Creator just what came into your beautiful world ? "
