《Awakening》The Past (2)

The red-haired man looked at Avren with a complicated gaze. But Avren didn’t detect it. Then he continued.
“That man paid no heed to what they were thinking and gambled. Before he reincarnated, he made an unbreakable connection between his soul and body that even reincarnation couldn’t break. Then he asked his friend, who was also an Eternal to put his body deep outside the Endless Void.”
“After he reincarnated, he cultivated all the way to the level before the Genesis again. Then he used the connection between his soul and body to sense and comprehend the Destruction Energy without making contact with it. But...he eventually failed! He could feel the Destruction Energy but still couldn’t use it.”
“He tried to search for an answer for countless years he finally discovered the reason. It was his memories! His memories from his previous life when he cultivated the Eternal Energy, prevented him from advancing to the Genesis Realm using Destruction Energy.”
Even Avren felt sorry for that man. After all his effort he still failed. Life is really cruel.
Seeing his expression, the young man laughed.
“Hahaha. Don’t feel sorry yet. That man's will was simply monstrous! After finding out the reason, he sealed his memories and reincarnated again! This time, he asked his friend to guide his reincarnated self, as he would no longer have his memories.”
This time, a spark appeared in Avren’s mind as he thought of something. But he didn’t speak and continued to listen.
“This time, his friend's guidance, he finally succeeded! He was the first being to become a Genesis using Destruction Energy! Oh, he also regained his memories.”
“But after that... He discovered that there was no difference. He was still a Genesis after all that. He felt the same feeling he had before. He still felt there's more! So, he made an even more ridiculous decision.”

“He wanted to cultivate both Eternal and Destruction energies at same time! This thought was simply crazy. Everyone knows that these two energies can’t mix. There’s no way to cultivate them together.”
“It’s like he became addicted to reincarnation. He reincarnated over and over again sealing his memories concerning cultivating one of the energies, and cultivating the other. Then tried to unseal his memories after that, hoping to combine both of them. But he still failed.”
“He kept reincarnating and failing so many times that all Eternals called him the Reincarnation Maniac.”
Avren was quiet. He was already guessing where this is going.
“Until one time, he managed to sense and comprehend both energies at the same time, shocking all the Eternals! No one knows what changed that made him able to do that. No one knows what had changed. Maybe it’s his unyielding and unbreakable will.”
“Anyway, although he could sense both energies, he still couldn’t cultivate them.”
“Until one day, he decided to reincarnate one more time. But this time, he didn’t seal his memories. He severed them! Separating them completely from his existence!”
“Do you know what that means? That means, he will no longer be the same person again! He sacrificed his own existence for a chance to achieve his goal! That selfish bastard... ignored everyone’s persuasion and did it!” When speaking to this point, the young man's voice was chilly. His anger was evident from his tone.
Avren was shocked from how determined and decisive the man was. If he were in the same position, he didn’t think he would be able to leave his loved ones like that.
After calming his anger, the red-haired continued.
“That man was known with many names and titles. But his real name was...Avren. And as you have guessed, you’re his last reincarnation.”

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
