《The Legacy Of The First》Intro: The World and Its gods
Advertisement
Intro
“The earliest known human civilizations of Sumer, the greatest known empire Rome, the ancient Egyptians and the various current countries all have one thing in common. Their belief in a higher power. Most cultures depict gods and goddesses as supreme beings able to manipulate nature and its forces. The Greek pantheon has 12 major deities: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Hermes and Hestia. Each of them was the administrator of a certain aspect of the reality that the Greeks lived in. The question we ask in our lecture today is whether there is a higher power or is it just a safety net made by humans to feel certain of the uncertain elements in their time.”
A middle-aged man on the podium stops speaking and looks to the audience. There were around a few hundred people in the hall. He sees a young man in his 20s raise his hand for a question.
“Yes, what is your question?”
“So, as we know it science has progressed further in the last 200 years than in all of human history. This brings me to ask whether the necessity of belief has been fulfilled due to the explanations provided by science for the cause of natural phenomenon and will humanity every proceed to completely eliminate religious belief from society?”
The young man didn’t worry about whether there is a god or not. He was inquiring about the future of humanity as a species of science. The man on the podium looking intrigued says:
“Humanity is indeed a species of science yet even with all of our technological advances we still believe in a higher power. Various phenomena around the world such as the Bermuda anomaly, paranormal activity, superhuman feats outside of our scientific scope and various other aspects give us room to feel insecure about our place in the world. A belief in a higher power puts the human psyche at ease and allows us to abstract the unnecessary details of our world. As such I believe that religion and religious belief will always exist to a certain extent within our society.”

The young man felt content with the answer and sat down.
“This brings me to another point of our class today. That is, the 4th dimension. As some of you may know that our world, we live in is 3 dimensional i.e., front and back, up and down and space. So, our 3-dimensional world is what we perceive but new advances in Quantum physics tells us that there may be higher dimensions co-existing in ours but not perceivable by humans or any 3-dimensional being for that matter. Can this 4th dimension sustain life, sentient life or otherwise? Since we cannot perceive this dimension this will forever be a mystery to us until science advances to an extent of interacting with the 4th dimension. And with this I will see you in the next session”
The man on the podium walked down and out of the hall. He was greeted by the young man who asked the question earlier:
“Hi, I’m Michael. I really enjoyed your session today do you mind if I take an interview of you later?”
“Sorry, I have busy week ahead could you contact me at a later date”
The man handed him a business card and left. Michael looked as the business card:
“Dr. Bern Hoffmann, I’ll be seeing you.”

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)
