《Empress of the Lost Realm》Prologue (Part 1) Edited
Advertisement
I woke up and saw the time in my watch that is always on a table that is right next to the bed, realizing I'm gonna be late, I immediately went to tidy myself and prepared to go out.
When I went to the garage to use my car, I remembered that my best friend had an accident when I lent him my car and without any other option I planned to go to the bus stop.
While I was walking towards the bus stop I felt a bit uneasy but thinking it was just stress due to having many projects to finish I paid no mind and continued going towards the bus stop. After arriving I waited for a few minutes until the bus finally came and I got on the bus, unfortunately, the bus was filled so I decided to call a cab to pick me up and realizing that I'm gonna be late no matter what I did not pay attention and kept waiting.
After a long time I finally reached my workplace and just when I was about to enter the office I suddenly heard something inside the room, out of curiosity, I decided to wait at the door of the office but immediately regretted to do so.
Inside the room there were people with guns in the office and because I accidentally made a slight sound the person who seemed to be the leader of the group looked at the door worried that someone discovered them and was calling the police he signalized someone with his eyes towards the door, immediately knowing what his boss wanted he went towards the door and saw someone in the little window installed on the door, instantly realizing that she was making a call, he fiercely opened the door and forced the woman to go inside the room where every person there turned to look towards the newcomer and realizing what was happening the boss started swearing and looked at the woman with fury, after that he took his weapon and directly shoot the woman.
I was surrounded by darkness and that is something that I am really afraid of because of some events that happened when I was still a child. I think it’s funny that I am not really afraid of anything except darkness as I am usually someone with a really cheerful personality and because of that everyone thinks that I am a dumb head but I am not really like that because I hate being alone, I usually act like a cheerful person in order to hide that fact.
I didn't want to see all of this so I tried sleeping in order to calm myself and after some time I managed to calm myself a little but I was unable to sleep and I realized at that time that I died, in other words, I am actually a soul right now.

At the sudden realization I didn't pay much attention at first but after some time I once again realized that no matter how I try the darkness always bothers me a lot. I tried many ways to ignore it and I remembered that monks used something called cultivation of the ancient time to calm down and to communicate with the natural energies and other things but I didn't care so I didn't pay much attention at the time they were explaining everything about it and so I tried to do that cultivation thing and calmed myself once more and tried to communicate with whatever those monks did in the past.
After some time I realized that there was someone in front of me, this... person? looks like a ghost, he looks ethereal but at the same time not, he or she looks like a female but at the same time as a male, when this person looked at me I saw that he or she looked at me curiously, after some time no wanting to keep this awkward silence I decided to talk to this person.
‘’Uhmm… who may you be?’’
He was taken aback at the sudden question that came out of nowhere but quickly recovered and with a smile he gently spoke ‘’Child, I am what you call God.’’
‘So he is male... Eh? a god? Why is a god here?’
‘’Okay, then why are you here?’’ I asked curiously but at this question, the god looked at me with a dumbfounded expression as if I was a new being that appeared before his own eyes out of nowhere, after that he said with an amused tone.
‘’I am here because I want to reincarnate you into a new world with all your memories.’’
When he said that he was thinking ‘She is the first one who doesn’t immediately thinks that I will be going to reincarnate her… it seems that she is pretty interesting'
After that, the girl looked at him with a dumbfounded expression as if not understanding what is currently happening.
Looking at her expression the god seemed to furrow his brows as he looked silently at her, after some time the god decided to ask ''Yes, I thought that in your world most people know about this so-called reincarnation to another world. Or am I mistaken?''
At his question, I started to think and realized that there was something like this in those light novels and mangas that my best friend wanted me to see for a long time.
When I was about to speak the god that was looking at me seemed to understand and said ''So it was like that, then I will just say that you will reincarnate in a world of cultivation but don't worry you will know what I am talking in time and because I don't have any more time remaining I will say this. You will have a space inside you that will have every energy in the purest form, then if fate allows it, I shall see you at a later time.''

When the god finished saying this I felt a bit dizzy and felt that I was being absorbed by something and I fell unconscious.
When the god who was, in fact, the very first being in existence, a being that not even those so-called gods or even heavenly gods are able to withstand even his presence alone without falling unconscious.
Every once in a while he personally goes to reincarnate someone because some souls are not able to complete the normal progress of reincarnation because those souls don't have what others may call 'common sense' but not in the meaning of knowledge, instead of the meaning that fate doesn't apply to them. He personally does this because when he was still just born he realized that a few centuries later this 'souls' were born but they were born naturally without him creating anything, at that time he already created some worlds so he was busy and did not pay nor care about this, which he regretted to do so.
Because these souls created chaos everywhere they went and he had no other choice than to destroy them which he was unable to do so because at that time he did not have much power, then without any other option he sealed and separated all those souls in different parts and they are now what is known as the cores of the planets but something outside of his expectations happened.
Some of those cores were able to link themselves with other cores and created what is known by the inhabitants of this place as 'realms'
There are currently 3 common realms that the inhabitants are aware and these are:
The Mortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm.
The God Realm.
And something even more unexpected happened at those places, he realized that the planets that have the cores of those souls but are not linked like the 'realms' generate the same type of energy but the inhabitants of those worlds use it in a completely different thing and they called it 'mana'
But when he studied it more closely he realized that the inhabitants of the 'realms' have a different anatomy than others, they have a part of their body called 'dantian' which is able to store the energy but they are unable to use the Qi in their surroundings like the inhabitants of the 'planets' use it.
Well, what matters is that the souls that he goes to reincarnate are those same souls or better said, they are part of those souls that fate doesn't apply to them and they are able to change the fates of others so they are unable to go to the usual progress of reincarnation because they would ruin others people fates.
This time he was going to reincarnate another of those souls but he realized something weird in this one so he decided to stay still and watch for a while and what he saw shocked him at the point that he was not able to say any words because he saw that this soul was absorbing all the Qi in its surroundings... no, what it was doing was that it was communicating with the Qi as if it was a sentient being and the Qi answered and helped the soul making it even more powerful than those souls that were born naturally centuries after he was born.
After some time everything stopped so he approached and started talking to the soul as if nothing weird happened at all.

''Now then... What should I do with this'' then he turned around and saw that there was a new realm forming itself at the moment the soul came here and realized something that shocked him even more than anything that has happened in his entire life.
He saw that every realm that was unknown to every being in those realms was currently linking themselves with each other and a few planets. He thought that was a curious thing and tried to enter that new realm but he was unable to do so. When he tried to forcefully enter there he received a massive headache like no other and no longer tried to enter without any other option he watched everything and tried to think what was currently happening and he finally realized.
He lost the location where the soul just now was going to be reincarnated, this was something that has never happened before and thought of the happenings of the things that happened and realized that he overlooked something important.
The soul was not like the others that the fate cannot be applied and the color of the soul resembled silver instead of the usual white color and he realized that fate was not avoiding the soul instead it was like it was more like fate was worshipping it.
At this realization, he was shocked senseless because he was too hurried he missed something very important and adding to the fact that he was not able to locate the soul he now realized.
They are the same existence.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.
