《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
In Merlin's imagination, the origin of the natural order was a highly condensed ball of energy. It was not like this, where it would be flooded with the power of the natural order.
The mysterious power around Merlin was like a sticky swamp. It was indeed the power of the natural order and it was highly condensed, but it was a little unfathomable that it was distributed in this vast and boundless space.
"This is indeed the origin of the natural order. It's the true core of the Void Zone! Every power of the natural order actually maintains the operation of some places in the Void Zone. If you don't believe me, Wizard Merlin, you can take a closer look."
Marta's words reached Merlin's ears and his heart moved. If that were true, it was incredibly terrifying. How terrible was the power that controlled the vast Void Zone?
Then, Merlin reached out his hand and randomly grabbed a bunch of the natural order's power. In Merlin's Mind Power, there were also strands like this power of the natural order. It was as if they were connected to somewhere in the distance. Even Merlin could not cut them off.
Merlin's Mind Power penetrated the power of the natural order and instantly, he seemed to arrive at an unfamiliar area. It was a very remote place with countless dimensions. This power of the natural order controlled the basic order of that dimension.
For example, the weather, rivers, mountains, forests, and so on were all controlled by the natural order's power.
"If this power of the natural order is destroyed, what will happen?"
Merlin pondered. With his current strength, it would be incredibly easy to destroy a small amount of the power of the natural order.
"Crack."
The power of the natural order was completely destroyed by Merlin. Immediately, Merlin seemed to feel something. This power of the natural order affected the dimensions it controlled. Mountain torrents erupted, earthquakes occurred, and all order was lost as all kinds of disasters transpired. Soon, this dimension would become barren and fall apart.
"This is order!"
Merlin's seemed to have an understanding. In a complete Latitude Cosmos, balance alone was not enough. There needed to be order as well. Everything needed order so that there would not be chaos and only then would development slowly happen.
"Balance, order!"
Merlin's Illusory World did have balance and partial order but many places were very chaotic. Occasionally, wars between civilizations would occur and lead to the destruction of a planet.
These were all beyond Merlin's control. Ultimately, it was due to a lack of order!
"Order! Order!"

Merlin felt more and more that this adventure to the natural order's origin was worth it. It seemed to be true now. Just by entering the origin of the natural order, he had already understood a very important point of the world; a stable order was also needed in addition to balance.
"What do these black strands represent?"
Merlin saw that in the vast power of the natural order, there were a few black threads. However, they were hidden in the power of the natural order and were extremely rare.
"Those naturally represent beings or forces that destroy balance!"
Marta continued with a sneer, "When our Vestigial Tribe swept through the Void Zone, a small part here turned black. Haha, destroy balance? Our Vestigial Tribe was also born in the Void Zone, but we're people who destroyed balance and were eventually wiped out by the Void Zone…"
Marta's laughter was full of sadness. There was no lack of contenders in the Vestigial Tribe, especially Golden Ray Warriors like Marta. During the long war, they naturally gradually learned some secrets of the Void Zone.
The birth of the Vestigial Tribe was deliberately done by the Void Zone. As an existence that destroyed balance, they had to be completely eliminated. They were only tools used by the Void Zone to 'balance' the whole world.
"Hum hum hum."
Suddenly, the space started to shake violently, as if a storm was occurring. Merlin and the others struggled to support themselves as waves of the natural order's power pounded at them.
"What's going on? Have we been discovered?"
The origin of the natural order did not have a consciousness. At best, it was only a simple program code. It was only running according to the natural order's established style. It was impossible for it to 'discover' anything.
However, this situation was truly strange. Although the impact was strong, Merlin and the others were still able to withstand it.
"Hm? There are several black spots there. They're very obvious. I wonder what force disrupted the order."
Soon, Merlin and the others discovered that there were three big black spots in front of them nibbling away at the surrounding power of the natural order, which represented the collapse of order. There must be some powerful force just born that was rapidly destroying order.
"These represent the three of us, haha!"
Marta and the others burst out in laughter. These three huge black spots represented the three of them. Looking at the trend of the black spots, they were still expanding. Still, in comparison to the size of the origin of the natural order, the three black spots were not even worth mentioning.

Perhaps this was also why the Void Zone did not fully encircle and kill Marta and the others. It was only when Marta and the others entered the gateway of the natural order that they were blocked by the nine Emperor-level existences. It was because the order they destroyed, and the damage they brought to the Void Zone was too small.
"Hoo…"
All of a sudden, a strong squall blew again. Then, in the vast and boundless origin of the natural order, a black area suddenly appeared. It had already formed an area, and it was a world of difference compared to Marta and the others' black spots.
"What's going on? Besides our Vestigial Tribe, is there any other terrifying civilization that's rising up? Are they wantonly destroying order and causing the origin of the natural order to become this way?
Marta and the others also looked surprised. This black area was too great and grew incredibly large in size, indicating that order was being uncontrollably destroyed.
What was this power that could destroy order so uncontrollably and make the origin of the natural order become this way?
Besides Marta and the others, Merlin was also puzzled. The Void Zone was too vast, but even they had not heard of the birth of any powerful civilization.
According to this trend, the black area could compete when the Vestigial Tribe swept through the Void Zone. At that time, it would be another catastrophe.
"What civilization is it?"
Marta and the others entered their consciousness inside it, and Merlin did the same. When his consciousness was immersed inside this black area, a picture quickly appeared in his mind.
This was the projection of the origin of the natural order. It was gathering all its strength against a familiar figure below.
After seeing this figure, Merlin jumped in shock, as if he saw something unbelievable.
"It's you?"
Marta and the others also saw the figure and immediately woke up. Their eyes stared intently at Merlin, full of disbelief.
The figure they saw was Merlin. In other words, Merlin destroyed order and became the primary person that the Void Zone had to deal with.
This black area was still spreading unceasingly. One day, it would spread to the size the Vestigial Tribe had and perhaps even surpass them.
Marta and the others only knew a little about Merlin. They knew that Merlin was rejected by the Void Zone like the Vestigial Tribe was, but they did not know why he was rejected by the Void Zone.
"What's going on?"
Even Merlin did not know why he created such a large area, much less Marta. He did not wantonly kill or destroy, so how did he destroy order?
Merlin suddenly thought of the Illusory World. Perhaps when the Illusory World was born, order had already been destroyed. Especially when the Illusory World was perfected, it had grown into a force that even the origin of the natural order could not destroy. At that time, the Illusory World had posed a serious threat to the Void Zone.
"I underestimated the influence of the Illusory World on the Void Zone!"
Merlin looked at the Illusory World scattered around him. He knew that as long as the Illusory World existed, it would affect the Void Zone and destroy the order of the Void Zone.
As long as the Illusory World was used, it was equivalent to destroying the order of the Void Zone. Therefore, Merlin would be regarded as the most serious threat after the Vestigial Tribe by the Void Zone.
However, Marta and the others did not know about this. They looked at Merlin as if Merlin was a riddle. They did not know the ins and outs and did not know what caused the Void Zone to reject Merlin.
Nevertheless, at least they knew that Merlin was extremely strong and could help them now.
"Merlin, we're all destroyers who were rejected by the Void Zone. As long as we stay in the Void Zone, we will always be rejected by it and be brought endless trouble. Back then, our Vestigial
Tribe's higher-ups actually made a plan. No matter how powerful the Void Zone was, it still had a core, which was the origin of the natural order! The natural order's origin didn't have a will, but if we can become the will of the origin of the natural order, then the entire Void Zone would come under our control. This is the real purpose of us coming to the origin of the natural order."
Marta stated their purpose. They wanted to control the origin of the natural order and by extension, the Void Zone. It was truly a wild and bold idea.
If they could really control the Void Zone, then would it not be the same as Merlin's Illusory World materializing illusions into reality, and him becoming a master of a Latitude Cosmos?
Perhaps this was the only way the Vestigial Tribe, and the other living beings in the Void Zone, could think of to reverse the natural order. If Marta and the others really controlled the origin of the natural order, then the natural order of the entire Void Zone would be changed by them.

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
