After Around a month of thinking Solomon had narrowed down his

choices to a hat, a rain gourd, or tv that would let his mom

watch shows from his old world. The hat he had thought of sounded

like a good idea when he thought of it, but he soon realized that

it was the opposite. The tv would be pretty simple to do since he

could already do basically the same thing with music, he would

jut need to spend a few years actually learning how to do a tv,

Solomon eventually decided to go with the rain gourd. The gourd

Solo was thinking of was less of a storm summoning gourd. And

more of a gourd that could hold storms. He got the idea based off

of a chalice that could hold an infinite amount of alchohol he

and Loretta were given by the God of Party and Wine, Dionysus.

The gourd couldnt actually do anything other than hold storms but

this is where the good part kicks in. The gourd could hold any

storm so, hurricanes, thunder storms, even space storms with

enough Mana. This function would allow Solomons mother to be able

to have a natural storm whenever she wanted which meant she could

study the Storm Dao whenever she wanted.

Since he had the gift planned out Solomon got to work. The first

thing he did was to get Loretta to manipulate a special gourd

seed. What he made her do to it was to change the gourd to accept

Mana easier, for when he was enchant the gourd. The Solomon went

to his and Lorettas world and planted the seed Loretta upgraded.

He planted the seed in a formation of perpetual storm and Mana

gathering, this would allow the gourd to be imbued with Storm

Mana from its birth. Once the seed was planted Solomon could only

wait for it to grow. Since he had to wait anyway Solomon decided

to let the gourd grow for a few thousands of years just to make

it extra nice.

With that descision Solomon decided to enter into seclusion and start studying the Dao. He focused quite a bit on Strength Dao and could feel himself getting more profecient day by day. Though he was far from reaching the next level after Physical Manifestation, Physical Embodiment. Solomon studied the Dao for 1,000 years exact. When he got bored of that he practiced with his kids or the other parents, occasionally hed find Gullin or Pater and spar with them a little. One day when he was sparring with his kids Solomon was asked an odd question.

" Hey dad, in a life and death spar between you and mom who would win? "

" Hhhhmmmmmm in a life or death match with zero prep time I could probably win, only thanks to my high physical stats and my formations. In a one month prep match though your mom could probably prepare thousands of undead. In a life or death match with me not using formations then I could probably hold on for an hour thanks to my stats. Though its impossible to know Sande, why do you ask? "

" Well I rarely see you spar with the other parents so its hard to judge all of your strengths. I was talking with the other kids yesterday and we were all arguing who would win. So who would win in a fight between you and the other parents? "

" Similar to your mom I would win thanks to my formations and higher stats. But my stats arent to much further ahead of theirs so if I didnt have my formations the others could likely beat me. If your curious why, you have to keep in mind they have hundreds of years of fighting experience on me. Life and death matches and not sparring. "

Skyddsande seemed to contempilate her fathers answer before she smiled and started speaking.

" I dont care how you win as long as I know you can win. "

In return to her childish response Solomon just smiled and started sparring with her more. He kept a big ol' grin the hole time though.

After that Solomon spent thousands of years living a leaisurely life of, Mastery hacking, raising the slime ( who they named Söt or Sot. ), hanging with the children and others, occasionally studying Daos, and messing around with engineering. Evenually around eleven thousand years after planting the gourd Solomon decided to get to work on it. His excitement was hard to keep down over so many years.

" Damn! "

Solomon couldnt have any other reaction to the gourd other than immense surprised. The reason is simply because of how extraordinary the gourd had grown.

The Storm Gourd was the size of a human males back with beatiful runes covering the body.

Runes are sort of like Mana manifested on objects and occasionally a living being. Runes can only be created when something or someone gets imbued by the same type of Mana for thousand upon thousands of years something that almost never happens in nature. And is almost just as rare even in large clans. The runes dont do much, only three things usually, they hold the particular Mana they are imbued with. They also allow the output of Mana to increase the power of Mana released despite less Mana being used. Runes are also an embodiment of a Dao, sometimes Lightning, Wood, or in Solos case the Storma Dao. THis means that runes can let someone examine a Dao in a physical manner.

The runes on the Gourd were in a pattern exactly like a Massive cloud that covered almost the entire body of the gourd. The cloud was a dark gray and alost pure black in some places. There was also a menacing lightning that rolled through the cloud. The pictures were so detailed that Solomon couldnt wood burn or add enchantments to the gourd. If he did he would feel like he was ruining a pure beauty of nature.

But even though he couldnt add to the outside of the gourd he could add to the inside body of the Storm Gourd. And thats exactly what he did. He added thousands upon thousands of enchantments, Mana gathering enchant, Storm Gathering, Non-physical sealing, and Mana projection.

Mana gathering to increase the level of the held storms infinitely. Storm Gathering to collect storms. Non-physical sealing to seal the storms from leaking out unless his mother wants to release them. Mana projection litterally projects the storms gathered Mana in order for study whenever Solos mother wants.

Despite being basic enchantments all the enchants Solomon added were extremely difficult ones that only a few beings over a million or so years old can use.

After he was done with the enchantments Solomon made a fancy screw lid to fit the gourd out of wood. After he was done with the lid Solomon was done with the gift. Despite the amount of time it took to make the gourd, the gift itself ended up being simple to make. Solomon then put the gourd back in a formation to continue gathering storms and advancing its runes. He then put his fathers car in a formation to hopefully be imbued with lightning and wood Manas hopefully gaining runes by the time the million years is over.

Before he put the gifts in the formations he decided to appraise them first.

Truck -

The first truck ever made on the in the universe of Rezlin ( The universe Solomon currently lives in. ). Made by a young aspiring talent for his admired father. Made using fairly weak materials and cant go very fast compared to the father. Mainly for playing around.

When Solomon read the description he was prod at the first couple lines, but when he read the last two he wanted to beat up whoever wrote the description.

" Whatever, just a hater whos jealous they cant do anything other than write some words. "

Storm Gourd -

A gourd with the potential for growth. Made by a young aspiring idiot for his amazing mother. Totally useless and cant be used to fix a broken relationshipe between a parent and her child.

Solomon was instantly angry upon reading the lines and start trash talking.

" You got jokes huh? To bad you aint got a body or else Id whoop your ass. You remind me of an internet troll from ,y my old world who would trash talk behind the protection of a screen but is to much of a pussy to fight. "

Fight me bitch -

Your lucky Im restrained or your punk ass would be crying on the ground right now.

" You couldnt even make a baby cry. Actually thats a lie, your ugly face would make make any baby start bawling the instant is sees you. "

Come at me -

You wont pussy.

After that Solomon just snorted and started to ignore the screens though it was very difficult because.

Chicken -

Bwak Bwak Bwak Bwwaaakkkk ( chicken noises. ).

Keep running -

Keep running away punk cant always ignore me.

I know where you live -

Ill start bothering your girlfriend if you keep ingnoring me.

Eventually Solomon couldnt take anymore.

" Alright fuck what do you want? Who are you? "

Finally -

I am the son of the universes spirit that means I was birthed by the universe. In order to decide who takes over the universe when our dad naturally pases he set a restriction. Each of his kids have to pick a talent and then whichever talent is the strongest after a few million years wins round one. In order to decide there will be a friendly spar. I have chosen you to be my fighter.

" Whats in it for me? "

Benefits -

You will be given a race strength boost, something that can only be given by a universe spirit.

" What will happen if I reject? "

Nothing -

I will just have to find a different person to fight for me.

" Good, then I reject though I must ask can you have more than one fighter helping you? "

Yes and no -

I can have multiple beings picked but I can only have one fight in the spar. This is a fail safe in case one of the spirits pick a warrior who is countered horribly by competition.

" Then I would like to make a deal. I will be one of your warriors but you have to pick the children that I, Loretta, Deam, and Gabbrielle are raising. If they cant win in the spar then I will fight, but if they have a chance to win they will fight. "

Arrogant -

Thats a bit of an arrogant request. Dont think that you are the most talented being alive there are many equal to you, three of which you live with. Dont you think its rediculous to be asking for such a big gift for your children just because you say youll fight. How about this I can agree to your asks, but you have to have Deam Belli, Loretta Eremita Uxorem, and Gabrielle be my warriors as well.

" I cant decide for them youll have to ask them yourself. "

After that Solomon didnt get any screens for ten minutes until.

Fine -

I will be giving the children Skyddsande, Skyddsud, Fear Coille, Rean Coille, Wahine, Fuil, Nathair, and Boireann race strength boost, since they are near Legendary Beasts they will become Legendary Beasts. They will have a massive talent boost and will have all levels taken away to provide maximum safety with their race upgrade. Good luck and please continue your pursuit of strength for my benefit as well as yours.

Solomon just ignored the screen and gathered with the rest of the group to watch the kids evolve. This will be a one in a lifetime scene after all.
