《Rise of the Forgotten》Ch. 28 Departure and New People
Advertisement
As my vision returned I got a feel of my body. My body felt as though it could go against anything. I couldn't tell how much stronger I became but everything felt clearer and louder. I felt control like I had never felt before. Everything felt as if I could control it. Nothing was beyond my grasp. I raised my hand and conjured a giant ball of black fire. This move would have cost me a great amount of UE but now cost me a negligible amount. I could now use the UE available in the surroundings to help fuel my abilities.
My body also felt incredible. I stood up slowly and started to walk forward. As I was walking forward I launched myself across the room. I spent a couple of hours getting some semblance of control with my body. I then walked to the area where the Gateway was located. As I arrived at the location I saw a giant curved arch that had space inside it that looked like it was waving and fluttering. By the arch was a building. I went to it.
Inside the building was a reception room with two doors behind the reception desk. I went through one of these doors. Behind the door was a hallway that had multiple doors throughout it. I went to one of these doors and opened it, entering the room it sealed. Inside was a room filled with screens and consoles. I went up to one and started it up.
It started up and I searched for the gate passcode. I found it and copied it. After that, I then moved on to connect the gate to the one on the Librarium. Soon after they were connected. I left the building and went through the portal. As I went through the portal I saw space warp and twist until I arrived at a similar set up on the Librarium. I was approached by the same android that led me before. It led me to a shuttle and took me back to the port.
We arrived shortly and I thanked the android for its help. It replied. "You are welcome. Alpha." It then turned around and left.
I then returned to the Indomitable and walked into it. Inside the crew spoke out in a frenzy of questions. I was gone for a couple of days it would seem. I calmed them down before getting all of the engineers to build a small Gateway on the ship. They gathered and I gave them the materials needed. Coincidentally they were all available in the port so there was little trouble in acquiring them. I spent the next week along with them making the small gateway on the ship.

Once it was complete I connected it to the ship and created a passcode for it. After that, I connected it to the Ev'Andel Gateway. When I was done I had everyone go through the portal one by one. Once everyone had gone through I went through myself. Everyone was surprised at the newfound power that they had. The old looked as if they had gone back through time and looked more like middle-aged people.
Everyone looked as if they had been injected with drugs as they basked in the newfound vitality and power. They immediately started to try out their new power. It was then that I truly experienced the difference between us. They had grown by leaps and bounds for sure but I had grown from a sapling to a giant tree. Even the elders, all of the Beta class themselves, were no match against me.
I was extremely shocked at how insanely fast that I grew. It was unimaginable to me. I just stared in shock. They were all powerful on their own. Each could go head to head with multiple of the Senators guard for before. That was just the non-combative ones. The one's that focused on combat could take out dozens of him, all on their own. The Betas could take on a hundred of him alone. This showed just how powerful the Omegians are. This was why we could expand to such a degree. But why were we so strong?
I didn't know and neither did Ev'Andel. This wasn't even where we originated from, though it was still our home. So many questions and no answers. I put them to the back of my head as I told them to get used to their strength. After that, the ones with the more civilian professions, like gardening or teachers, were told to stay on the planet and find homes here. They agreed as they now had true homes. I also told them to take of the planet. They had no reason to disagree.
After that, I left with the remaining people and returned to the ship. I left them split up back to their ships with newfound room available. Once everyone was ready we departed. As we left the port I asked Erendial for the Librariums Gateway passcode. She gave it to me and I asked Aldion to input it into the controls for the small gateway. As we left we passed through some distorted space and entered into empty space. Viewing around us you would never guess there was a whole solar system here.
We then went full speed back to the Milky Way. It was time to reunite with the rest of my people. While traveling I still trained to get stronger and have a better grasp on my strength. Erendial had told me that there were people that were at the same level as me. Well mostly. They were at the same power grouping as me but still weaker. She also told me that I was far weaker than the Fifth was. He could wipe out entire armies and could destroy warships with ease. He had never lost a battle that he participated in.

That stunned me as he didn't let me view those battles. He was the only one that hid parts of his life. Most of the war that he fought in was hidden and he only showed me broad details and some battles. It puzzled me. Still, this gave me another goal to work toward. While I could take out the smaller ships of the Milky Way and damage the bigger ships, I couldn't even touch the ships of the Empire. This was just another show of the vast technological gap between the milky way and the Empire.
During the trip, I trained harder and reviewed the info inside my soul more than ever. My mind worked and processed information faster than ever. I also worked at improving the armour that was available to warriors. I developed armour upon armour until I felt it was good enough, for now. I then equipped each of them with custom made armour. I had decided that the people in this group would be my guard.
Once I decided that I let them know and started to train them. Though they once could beat me I would now wreck them. I developed new techniques and UE use and taught it to them. Whenever they were available I would call them to the training hall and work with them, shaping them into the finest warriors I could in the short time available. Every part of the crew was taught to fight. Everyone was taught to repair and modify their armour.
Over the months I would teach them everything. While I sparred with them I would teach them how to make and repair the Empires tech. As they rested they would learn everything else. I taught them to split their minds and focus on two things at once. With this, we would start group tactics. I made everyone learn to fight together and as one. I forced each of them to analyze the battle and formulate plans depending on that situation. The training room was the largest room on the ship. It was bigger than the ship itself and was able to shift the terrain and make obstacles and enemies. This was done with photonic projectors.
I also got used to leading them when I let Erendial and Aldion take the lead in formulating new scenarios. It wasn't easy at first as I was leading a bigger group against greater odds and greater tech. Where before I was more reliant on my tech now I had to think and formulate plans after plans to keep my warriors safe. The previous Alphas were of great help during this time. I also had all of the generals of the Omegians with me as well. I had the greatest war counsel in my soul.
During this time I grew rapidly along with my warriors. Every one of the people on the ships had become Betas, the rank below Alpha and the greatest of the Omegians. The ranks of the Omegians were as follows: Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta, Lambda, Zeta, Sigma. Betas were the strongest at birth while the Sigma were the weakest. Though Sigma were weaker than beta they technically had the greatest potential as they could grow into Betas themselves.
Betas were naturally given the highest levels of responsibility if they accepted and were called betas. Should they refuse their responsibility they would be called Beta-Pasli so that they could differentiate from the other betas. This was done because more often than not Betas would have a rank and would have some form of privilege because of that rank. By giving up these responsibilities they would give up the privileges that would come with it. The same applied to all ranks.
Though normally this way of thinking would lead to elitism and corruption the Omegians avoided that by never letting the power change them. We would never and have never been corrupted by power. This had always remained the same. Not even the Fourth was corrupted by the power he held at his fingertips instead, he was influenced by UE that he didn't know was affecting him.
After a couple of months, we arrived at the milky way. The rendezvous point was an edge planet that was closest to the coordinates. We arrived to see a small fleet of ships in the outer parts of the system. Hundreds of ships containing thousands of Omegians on them floated before my eyes. Once I organized them I would move on to the Zealots.

8 833The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

8 402Changement : Version Face [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Face. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Ange, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got heads. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28317/changement-version-pile-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
