《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
Today just so happened to be the day in the month where newborn babies go through the Aptitude Test. Of course, Juri arranged for the aptitude tests to be done in secrecy. He was afraid that if someone like Malaka appears again by some miracle, at least he could hide it. Until today, only Malak's parents, Alanda, Juri, and the Twins know about Malaka's Blue Color aptitude. Even Malaka herself thinks that she has a Green one.
Juri's Tribe policy proved to be correct, and their number of Yellow and even Green aptitudes increased. During the last eight years since Rean and Roan appeared, another three green Aptitude babies were born. That is a fantastic number for a Tribe of their size. Every single one of them had a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment one day.
Their group quickly entered and reached one of the test rooms. There, they found a family of three with the mother holding a small baby boy. The father just so happens to be a warrior of the Tribe as well.
"Tribe Leader."
"Tribe Leader."
The two quickly bowed to Juri, who nodded back at them.
The elder that came to inform Juri then went forward and took another drop of blood from the baby. Right after, he dropped it on the Aptitude Orb, which immediately started to shine with... Purple Color!
Juri's heart... stopped at that moment. If he didn't support himself against the wall, he would have definitely fallen!
"Pur-pur-purple... color..."
Rean and Roan were also shocked! As mentioned before, the aptitudes are divided in Gray, Brown, Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, and Purple. Malaka is already considered a treasure with her Blue Level Aptitude, but Purple? That is a color that no one in a place like this would ever see during their lives.

"How's that possible? Is our Tribe standing on some type of holy land? Did a god descend here in the past?"
Rean and Roan looked at each other. It doesn't matter how they see it, this level of high aptitude babies appearing shouldn't be normal. There is even a Purple Level one now.
Rean concentrated on the Dimensional Realm and asked.
"Sister Orb, do you know anything about this? How come even a Purple Aptitude appeared in this place? Wait! Could it be that the fact that Roan and I were born here was because of the same reason?"
[Of course not. Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that the Tribe only had an average number of high aptitude babies in the past? The reason you two are looking for is none other than yourselves. Your presence here is balancing the surrounding region's Yin and Yang. The longer you stay, the better it will become. This place is becoming a blessed land because of the two of you.]
Rean and Roan were taken aback. This is the first time they hear about it.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
[I forgot.]
The twins felt like kicking Sister Orb once again.
[Anyway, it is not like telling you would change anything, right? Or could it be that you would move somewhere else alone? I really doubt so.]
Rean and Roan shook their heads and decided to not think much about it. In theory, this should be a good thing for the Tribe... as long as Juri can hide this Purple Toddler well enough.
Still, judging by Juri's face, it didn't seem like he had the confidence to do it.
Juri noticed his own state and quickly recovered.
"Cough, cough. Sorry, it is just that I was too surprised. I've never thought that our Tribe could be blessed by a Purple Aptitude Baby. However, do the two of you understand the implications of his existence?"

The father, who was also a cultivator and a warrior of the Tribe, immediately nodded. He might not be a highly talented one, but he at least understood what that meant.
"We can't let others know about it, so I already talked with my wife. She understands that we must keep it a secret from everyone else, even our child himself. At least, until the day that he can make his own decisions."
Juri nodded, satisfied.
"Indeed, once a family has a warrior in the middle, their views are much broader. You are correct, a purple aptitude baby is only a legend in a place like this. I know a little bit more about the cultivation world, so I can tell that it wouldn't be just a sect being interested in him. Instead, a war between sects might start."
Juri then looked at Rean and Roan.
"Since the two of you are already here, I might as well explain it to you, so listen well."
Roan and Roan's interest was picked, and even Sister Orb seemed to be paying attention now.
"Our country of Jialin is a tiny one, and it is located at the very border of the continent on the North-East side. As for Astreg City, it is even more so. It is considered one of the smallest cities in the country, also on the north-east side."
"Our country has a total of five cultivators' Sects: the Rohe Sect, Lagan Sect, Dalamu Sect, Umbral Sect, and Raskil Sect. From what I know, you need to have at least Yellow Color Aptitude if you wish to join any of those. There are also another two powers equivalent to the Sects, the Jialin Royal Family and Zafa Bank."
"However, the Zafa bank is present in the entire empire, not only in our Jialin Country. So in a certain way, they are stronger than our Five Sects; it's just that they use the power of money instead. Of course, the Zafa Bank doesn't get involved in any country's affairs. They only care about profit. Whatever happens to the countries is not their problem. So you can eliminate them from the list of interested."
"As for our empire, it covers the north side of our continent, and it is called the Sasamil Empire."
"But let's focus on the Five Sects for now. Usually, the biggest majority of those who wish to enter the five Sects have green Aptitude levels. Those with Yellow rarely pass the tests. Now and then, a Blue Color appears, but they are quite rare. As for Red Color... Well, I won't say that there isn't any, but they are as rare as phoenix feathers. You might find one every two or three annual recruitments. Of course, I'm not totally sure since information is hard to get in the place where we live. There is a very good chance that I might be wrong about something."
Rean and Roan couldn't help but ask.
"What about Purple?"
Juri sighed and said.
"I only know about one, and that is because this information is purposely spread by the nobles. He is the progenitor of the Jialin Royal Family and the Founder of the Jialin Country, Zef Jialin."
Everyone in the room was shocked. A Purple Aptitude person was able to found an entire country!

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
