The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

And beknowwst to him, the cloud of pink mist representing this path became even brighter and more luminous, while the thick quintessential string it was connected to, shone brighter in return.

The Fate of the Stronghold was changed. It's Destiny was uplifted. And it's Fortune erupted to unforseen heights.

And all because of a single human.

[ TING!!! ]

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom [ You've burned out all of your Kismetic Essence reserves, and can no longer be accepted within the Void of Destinies ]

[ To become accepted, attain mastery in the law of Destiny or Fate or Dreams or Karma. Or obtain more Kismetic Essence ]

[ By cutting off twelve paths of humanity's Destiny, you have thrown them into nothingness, as the Void of Destiny devours them ]

[ The Void of Destiny is pleased with your sacrifice, and has become a part of you as the "Void Embodiment", birthing the Extra Ability, "Nonexistent Void Physiology" ]

[ Your Void Law attainments have increased slightly. You are now an aspect of the Void of Destiny, a great representations of it. The higher your mastery, the higher your embodiment of all two Voids ]

[ As an aspect of the Void of Destiny, the devoured Destiny of Humanity has returned to you, increasing your own individual Destiny ]

"..."

Damien stood shocked, and amidst his shock, the unique domain he was within, immediately shattered into mirror-like fragments, which blended in with the natural environment seconds later.

But that did not reduce his shock one bit. "...You... I give up..." He said, deciding to just take a rest instead of saying anything unnecessary to The Primordial Source.

[ ... ]

But The Primordial Source was a victim in this case. Though it knew something like that would happen, it didn't do it on purpose... At least, it didn't do anything now.

Nothing could be said about before.

At the same time as this entire experience took place, countless miles away, within a large boisterous city, vaster than humanity's entire range of influence, a tall temple could be seen at the center.

Within the temple, at a certain region, a woman opened her eyes in shock. "The Void of Destiny has been invaded once more." She said, her words light and casual, but her tone was absolutely intoxicating.

She wore a white cloth that slithered all over her perfect complexion, intricately covering her important bits. Her hair was a mixture of purple and pink, and her eyes the same, with the luster of countless stars.

She raised her head to look up at the night sky, a look of weariness on her face. "These children are getting out of hand lately." She sighed to herself.

But just as she was about to brush it off as nothing but an everyday occurrence of someone glimpsing at Fate and Destiny, she was abruptly startled, "Impossible... Impossible!!"

She disappeared out of this section of the temple, as what she felt, was more than just a visit. She felt the overall Destiny of the entire continent fluctuate!!

She reappeared within the Void of Destiny, and immediately transformed into a gigantic dragon made out of pink mist and purple luster, with a bone structure made out of the glow as the quintessential strings.

Her size then grew large, eclipsing the countless quintessential strings around her, and viewing them as thick and large quintessential strings representing paths of large droves of beings.

Yet her size still grew larger, eclipsing even the quintessential strings larger the one Damien affected, and even went as far as eclipsing even ones so vast, they were billions if not trillions of times thicker.

Until she was below a quintessential string that was the overall convergence of all the quintessential strings she affected. "No way... No way is this possible..."

Her eyes widened in shock, as she could see the quintessential string representing their continent's path of Destiny, shine in such great luminosity, she almost went blind.

"What is the meaning of this?!" She exclaimed, using all her strength and authority to glimpse at any changes made in the past seconds.

And her consciousness was sent deep within the continental quintessential string of Destiny, and all the way towards a small quintessential string of Destiny, and the alterations made to it.

She saw as multiple small paths in the form of clouds of pink mist being cut off, until only one remained. And then saw how it's pink luster grew denser and brighter.

"This person has quite the effect on Fate and Destiny. Almost to the extent of the laws themselves. But the problem still remains... who?" She thought with a frown.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Indeed, who was it? What race were they? What motives do they have? She wondered about all of these, but unfortunately got no answers.

There was no one where the process too place. It was as if nature just took its course, or more likely, "It's as if the Will of the Void of Destiny itself is up to something. But what..?" She thought.

It's been ages since she's been this clueless, and at unease with a situation. And through experience, she knew that nothing good would come out of ignoring it.

She did attempt to change everything made with her power and authority, yet no matter what changes she attempted to make, they all backfired. 'There's... Universal Rules pushing me back..? What Ability is this? To be able to pull at the Universal Rule of Providence like this with such extricacy... I'm astonished...'

She thought, believing that the Will of the Void of Destiny was definitely involved. There was no other explanation she could think off.

She reverted back to her usual size in instants, and disappeared from the Void of Destiny, appearing back within the temple, directly at her domain of influence.

"Is anybody there..?" She called out, looking up at the night sky once more. Her domain was unique, as it had a vast opening above it, which warped space, and illustrated it at a closer angle. Like a telescope.

"Yes, my lady." A woman cloaked in black appeared, lowering her head in respect and reverence towards the woman before her.

"It's you, thank the supremes." The woman in white said, then added, "There's been a slight occurrence at the southern edge of the continent, and I'd like you to go and take a look."

"How long do you think it will take you to reach there with your natural speed?" She asked, and the bowing woman immediately responded. "If I travel at full speed and use my Runes, I'll take six months in total."

"Six months even for you? Maybe I should go myself? No, you're way faster than me regardless, so it's a no go... Haaa~ This continent is quite vast its stressful at times. And it's still growing." The woman in white said.

"..."

The other kept quiet, and retained her posture. The status between them remained as such until a few moments later, when the former added, "Then it's fine. You can leave... And take care of yourself, child." She added softly.

"I will not disappoint." The former said, disappearing in a flash of silvery light, leaving the temple once more in silence. "I mean it, do take care of yourself, Runia."

She added with a weared out tone. Her job was stressful, but her children were more so.

~~~

At the same time, back within the Shade Stronghold. The Shade King, Allianz, sat upon his throne with a light frown of contemplation on his face.

He was just sitting by idly, and suddenly had a wild idea pertaining to his situation, and that of his kingdom, his Stronghold.

"..."

He was a man of less words, and more of action. And taking into account his busy schedule as a King, he was never available for his women, let alone his children.

Thus the current state of affairs of the Adams household. Yet due to his strength and health, he was still quite far from retiring from his position... but personally, the man desired rest.

Rest from the mental grinding politics, rest from the two-faced ministers and authorities, rest from the demanding people, rest from the ever growing problems.

Just... rest.

Regrettably, he was not close with his children, and hence never knew their characters or future aspirations. Hence why he never chose a successor as of now.

And the idea that bloomed within his mind right now, would be the solution, the key, the path, to his long desired rest.

"If I implement this strategy, not only will I learn more about my children, I'll also be able to choose a successor that wants what's best for the people." He thought out loud, bathing under the light from the moon.

"Not only that..." He stood up from his throne, and walked down, "...But I would also be able to use this time to achieve most of my dreams as well. If, I retire."

He walked through the dark room, all the way towards one of the many windows showing the perfect picturesque scenery of the city. "Only... if I could retire."

He repeated his thoughts in longing, but at this time, his heart suddenly beat at a much higher frequency than before, prompting him to clutch his chest in pain. "Argh..!! What's wrong? What's the meaning of this..?!"
