C4 Learning about the world
Beneath the bright and sunny day, a vast landscape could be seen ranging for thousands of kilometers, countless of huge trees surrounding it. Within that vast plain, bunches of civilizations lay their territories forming a huge circle if you look up in the sky.
When Kyle entered inside the walls, he wasn't so surprise about what he saw.
The rundown houses he could see, the dirty economy the bad odor he could smell due to the bad piping system. But he wasn't sad about it or dissapointed, in fact he was glad and smiling all this while.
'just like I thought, the civilization in thos world is just like in the middle ages.'
A guard named Ergo escorted him to the village head to report.
While being escorted within the village, he could see a lot of humans busy with their daily lives.
The clothes they are wearing are simple and looks intimidating, furs made of beasts just like him.
When they saw him they were curious and started to wonder who this kid was. Sounds of murmurs could be heard, but he just acted blindly about it, and watched the surroundings with the look of curiosity in his eyes.
A small village like theirs only had hundreds of humans in population, so normally they could recognized each others family and kids, so they wondered who is this kid.
Looking at those dirty and ripped clothes, their eyes had had a look of pity.
But sooner later, they forgot about it and got backed to their daily jobs, because seeing kids like him is like a daily occurrence in their lifestyle.
While traveling to the heads building, the guard commanded the kid.
-Hey kid, dont stray away from me, were going to the Tang building at the center area.
This village is owned by the Tang family so we need to ask them about what should we do with you, the Tang family are a kind and reasonable tribe, so you dont need to worry too much about it. just dont be disrespectful, ok ?
- ok mister guard.
He answered with a cute smile, he knew, that in his current situation, acting innocent and pitiful is the best way to let their guard down.
He needed to learn about this world, so he wanted to integrate himself within this village.

While traveling towards the center, he could see larger buildings than before, large empty spaces with training equipments and training dummies could be seen.
a bunch of kids aging 10 to 18 could be seen training within those spaces.
He even saw a building with numerous kids listening to the old man at the front.
He was shock to see a bunch of kids carrying huge rocks bigger than themselves, A huge smile escaped his lips while thinking
'those kids really are cultivators, their body looks so strong and ripped, carrying those huge boulder as if they were paper, I so wanna learn cultivating right now, hehe.'
While nearing the biggest building in the center, the guard saw the kid smiling to extent and he starts to wonder, but sooner later he thought
'naah , hes just a kid, maybe he got exited seeing a bunch of kids and wants to play with them'
so he jst laught it off, and they approach the building standing just outside the door, waiting for someone to call them.
A few minutes later, and a middle aged lady approach them, telling them to follow her inside the building.
Nearing the head's room, the lady said
-the head will see you know.
-ok maam, heyy kid come lets go in remember to be respectful ok?
- ok mister .
When they entered the door, he could see an old man sitting behind a desk, resting his body in a quite comfortable way.
The old man had a weak looking body, but he could feel the vitality and the strength lying within it, and the old man asks him
-hey kid what's your name, and tell me where are your parents?
So he elaborated his story again, and luckily the old man believed it.
-mister I dont have any recollection about my past, all I can remember is that my name is Kyle.
-hmmm ok , since you have no memories about where you lived, and who you are, I'm gonna give you a place to live her in the village for the meantime, but you need to do some daily jobs and help the people around ok?
-thanks senior.
-hohoho no problem, and all kids aging from 10 to 15 needs to take lessons in the learning building, so be prepared for it.
-thanks again senior.
Kyle smiled while answering he didnt call the old man grandpa or something to avoid any problems, and luckily the guard was right, the head really is kind, giving me a home despite being a stranger.

Luckily the village I came first to know, is not filled with those cold hearted bastards like in the novels.
-Ergo bring the kid to old man tang and introduce him, tell him he's under me.
-yes head
The guard took him away, and they traveled back to building where an old man can be seen teaching a bunch of kids.
-old man , the head asked me to let this kid join the class, he's new to the village, he said that he's under him.
-ok son, go back to your work, and stop dadling around.
-hmm grampy old man.
Seeing this charade Kyle could only hide his laughter inside him.
The kids started to get curios, and wonder who is this the new kid.
The kids in the village have been together since childhood, so they were wondering if the kid is from a bigger village or much better, from the city beyond the plains, where those rich young masters lived from.
-young man, tell me whats your name?
- its kyle sir.
-oh ok, find a free spot and be comfortable , you're lucky we just started the class so you arent so behind, just try to follow ok ?
- ok sir, thank you.
He answered smilingly and found a empty spot behind, he ignored the stares towards him and listened to the old man attentevily.
-the continent were living right now is called Divine Azure Dragon Continent, it is said that there are other Continents including ours, but it's still unknown to us, due to the lack of knowledge.
The Divine Azure Dragon Continent has 5 empires inside it, namely the
Zex empire, Clearsky empire, Trost empire, Rose empire and Holy Trinity empire, the Zex is situated in the north of the continent, while the Clearsky in the west, the Rose in the east, the Trost in the south and the Holy Trinity empire in the middle.
The empires are in a constant war, but only for a small skirmish, because the real rulers of the continent are those magical beasts deep inside the Magical forests.
The Magical Forest is situated all around the continent, each side of the empires is bordered with the forest, but the real source of the forest is at the very most south eastern part of the continent.
Our small village is located in the Beast plains, south of Trost empire.
The Beast Plains is surrounded by numerous mountains, and within the plains are countless of small and intermediate villages.
The overlord in our area is the Ximen family, they are a big Village with tens of thousands of population.
The Ximen family has hundreds of small villages and tens of intermediate villages in there scope that has to follow their biddings, and at the same time they protect us, small villages for dangerous outbreaks, but sometimes those outbreaks wipes the village before the help came, so a lot of villages, still gets wiped out by those magical beasts.
The Beast Plains are Governed by the 6 sacred Families like Ximen, namely the Ling, Zing, Qing, Zu, and Yuntian Families, the Beast Plains is at an constant war due to the lack of resources, and because the plains is near the magical forest, the outbreaks is much more severe compared to those empires.
-so to avoid getting wiped out by the beasts or the war, we must train ourselves, and be strong for you younglings, are the hope of our small village.
Hearing this, the kids, and even Kyle got exited.
Being a strong warrior, or an immortal cultivator, that's what have been his dream all this long, even when he was still on earth.
Hearing that their small village is just like an ant compared to the world got him exited while thinking
'I might be weak now, but with this fruit that can destroy the world, I wonder how strong I could be'
thinking this he smiled.
-so now that you have heard about the situation we are in, are you ready to train yourselves??
Are you ready to be a cultivator!
A loud yes sir could be heard, and the room was full of excitement. At this moment in this small building, inside a puny small village, dreams are being made, promises are spoken, and one boy's journey has been started.
Old man tang didn't knew that this 1 lesson could change his the life of their village.
He didn't knew that at this moment, a new legend has been made, the legend of the strongest man in the world, the legend of Kyle!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
