"To begin the first challenge you will need to focus on your own soul and it will allow you to unlock the "Level System" of the celestial system. It is what made the Celestial system the divine system that it is." Kapo said as he waited for Will to digest this information. Wait, level system? As in a video game? Will thought to Kapo as he grew excited. "Yes, to be exact most video game level systems are designed from the legends of the Celestial system. I am just curious about how those lowly wastes of energy learned of it. Unlike any role play game, the Celestial System has no level cap. In the past, there were legends of beings who also possessed the Celestial System who were able to create their own universes and also destroy them as easily as waving their fingers. It was always the hope of your ancestors to reach this level but alas no one ever did. I hope that you will also strive to reach this level, the level that one can strive for but never hope to reach. Now enough of that, go to your "bed" and lay down, I will give you more instructions afterward." Kapo said as he reminisced on the past. Will slowly walked in a daze back to his cabin. Kapo, when will I be able to learn more about where I am from? Will asked as he sat on his bed and tried to calm his mind. "As soon as you unlock the first seal you will be awarded the level system that I have mentioned before and also a message from your parents and the people of your home dimension. Now lay down and focus not on yourself but what is within." Kapo replied flatly. Will followed Kapo's instructions. He focused not on himself but on what was in as Kapo had said. He became light-headed as the world tilted and became nothing but eternal darkness. It slowly changed to become a barren, red wasteland filled with monstrosities that screamed and roared with sounds that would cause anyone that heard it be filled with eternal pain and fear. They were chained all chained to metal loops that protruded from the ground. The chains that imprisoned them did not bind the outside of their bodies but stabbed into them. The monster appearance was enough to nearly cause Will's mind to collapse not to mention the aura that seemed to cause the entire world to be died red with blood. "Will, all that you need to do to pass the challenge is to proceed to the center of this world. As you get closer to the center you will be surrounded by even more ancient demons. The goal of this challenge is to gauge your resolve and will to continue on no matter the danger. Normally you wouldn't attempt this challenge until you turned one hundred but . . ." Kapo said as he was interrupted. "Wait, did you just say one hundred as in one hundred years old!!!" Will screamed out at Kapo. "You cannot be judged on the same criteria as these wastes. The average age when these "Beings" start to mature is thirteen but yours is around two thousand. The longest living ancestor of yours was over a millennium. You need to quit judging yourself the same way you do other people in this dimension. I have given you all the help that I can. " Kapo said as his voice slowly went disappeared. Will slowly stilled his mind as he walked forward step by step as he slowly started to pass the first monster. It appeared to be a giant snake with blades for scales, its blades were black with a scarlet tint and its tail was three meters long and the end was shaped like a pike. Altogether the snake was around six meters long. It started at Will as he passed but did nothing to intimidate him. As he continued he passed so many different types of monsters. Some that resembled creatures from the current dimension Will lived in, others were so strange that Will stared at them for a bit. One thing that all of the monsters had in common was the fact that they did nothing to intimidate him. Will slowly approached the center of the world, it took him an entire day of slowly walking to reach it. In the center of the world was a alter. It was just a simple crimson, a stone podium that was onto of a stone platform that was so dark that it seemed to absorb the light around it and it was glowing with a crimson light that made the area around it appear to be painted in blood. "Before you can continue you must be warned of the consequences of what will happen. You will go through the most intense pain that you have ever felt before, it will be even worse than the time that your entire nervous system was destroyed and regrew. It will completely change your soul, for better or worse is for you to decide. So do you want to continue, if so it will completely separate you from those so-called humans?" Kapo said intensely as he awaited Will's answer. "If I do this will I be able to protect those that I care for?" Will asked as he stared at the altar. "If you mean those pathetic humans that you seemed to be obsessed with then the answer is yes. There are very few powerful opponents in this dimension not to mention the fact that they are already as powerful as they are ever going to get but you do not possess a limit. In fact, when you get strong enough you will be able to create an alternate space that you can store this world in and move it around with you when you go to explore other dimensions. I look forward to seeing which path you choose and how far you travel down it." Kapo said as he watched Will step forward to the altar. "What do I need to do now?" Will said as he walked towards the podium. "Put your hands on top of the podium and the rest will come naturally," Kapo said again as he watched the emotions that clouded Will's soul. Will stepped forward and put his hands on the podium and an oath appeared in his mind. He took a deep breath and spoke the oath aloud. " I Willenstark Kraft hereby perform this oath in front of the all to witness. I swear to uphold justice for those who are unable to do so themselves, to protect the weak as my ancestors have done so since they have ascended from the eternal night into the promising day. I swear this as my ancestors have sworn if I am unable to uphold this oath then allow the angels above and devils below punish me as the world deems fit. I swear this on my bloodline as a Yūsei." As will finish the oath the world around him disappeared and was replaced with a elegant city that was surrounded by the same monsters that were in his soul and he turned around and seen a baby that looked identical to him when he was little in the hands of a woman who was standing next to a weird being and they were both embracing him. The thing that stood out the most was the fact that they were not human, the man appeared to be something similar to a werewolf out of one of those old horror movies that he watched with his parents but it had the horns of a ram and its fur was solid black. The woman had wings on her back that were similar to a dove but they were silver and glowed with white light.
