Revised Prologue Part 2:
I try moving towards the light, but I was could only move my arms. Flailing around a little more, I notice the light coming towards me. This intrigued me, I use my left arm to block out some light as it was too bright, and use the right arm to try and reach out to it. The light stops moving forward right out of my reach, and I hear a faint chuckle. This surprises me since I thought it was an inanimate object.
" I'm sorry for laughing at you, but it was like looking at a baby reaching out for its mom, it was cute."
The light then starts changing until it takes the form of a male human. He looks 6.1 feet tall, with porcelain-clay skin, blonde hair and grey eyes. His eyes had stars in it which made it seem like he knew boundless knowledge, while his hair was more silky then most women. Although he is the most handsome guy I ever seen and look delicate, he was also lean and well built.
Remembering his question, I respond " It's okay but may I inquire where I am and who you are?"
The man answers " Oh I forgot, how rude of me. I'm the one people call the God of the Bible, and the place you are right now is the void. I brought you here right after you died, and like I exist, other gods of other religions exist as well."
I never would have thought that gods existed. I wasn't an atheist, I believed they existed, but not as living creatures, more like forces of science. Figuring out that gods weren't forces like the big bang which move everything and hold them together, but were creatures, I was excited.
But my excitement was short-lived as I asked " Why did you bring me here? Why are you telling me this? What is your goal and what was that huge hand?"
Question after question bombarded him, making him speechless but he managed to say " Hold off the questions, I brought you here so I will naturally explain everything. Now about the hand, I brought you here exactly because of that huge hand. That hand was the energy manifestation of Cronus, the titan king. He escaped from Tartarus with the help of the evil Egyptian god Apophis, 17 years ago. They both allied with the other evil gods to try to overthrow the other gods. They were to weak so they tried to search for a source which can help defeat us. That is when they found a unique soul, which was neither good or evil. It was neutral , which was not common but not impossible to find either. What made this soul unique and one of a kind, was that it was absorbing all the energy possible to absorb in its vicinity and had a special property; it can turn either good or bad and gain potential to eliminate the opposite karma. When this soul would chooses its karma, it would send ripples across the entire solar system eliminating the other karma. Then the soul will experience massive amounts of change and growth before settling down. These benefits for the soul come with a price, the soul's true form is sealed. Then Cronus and the others planned to use the soul to eliminate us, so he made the soul be born in a human body on the unluckiest day and time to experience the worst luck. He though this would set it on the wrong path. That day was on the year 1313, 13th month, 13th day, 13th hour, 13th minute and finally the 13th second."

The story I just heard was unbelievable, it shocked me to my core. After I calmed down from what was like lightning struck me, I asked " Is this soul which you were talking about me?"
" Yes Kail, it was." The answer was exactly like what I expected.
It was like a dam inside me which held back my feelings and let me have a cold demeanor broke and my feelings flood out.
Grief and anger washed over me and my eyes turned red. I screamed " Why did they choose me and make me suffer, WHY! Why was my soul born special, I suffered so many things because of it. "
Trying to calm me down he said " Calm down Kail, CALM DOWN!"
Ignoring all his attempts to calm me down, I tried finding someone to blame. " YOU KNEW I WAS SUFFERING AND DIDN'T CARE! WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP ME IF YOU KNEW THIS? TELL ME NOW!"
He yelled " KAIL, LISTEN!
It alarmed me and I finally got hold of my emotions, toning down the anger and grief. I listened carefully to his next words.
Noticing I suppressed my emotions down he continued. " I did help you, the dark alliance (Author: name for the evil gods alliance with each other) cast a curse on you, which have made you a cripple, but I put a blessing to counter-act it. That's the most I could have done. While you were living I was still helping you, for example helping you study and train in martial arts and survival. You achieved the epitome of martial arts, but you had no talent. Answer me, how was that so? Yes you worked extremely hard, but you didn't have a lot of time to train. Ingrain this in your brain, I tried my best to help you."
After a few more minutes, I finally calm down and accept the facts and reality. Then I felt gratitude for the God of the Bible since my life could have been much worse if not for him. So I thank him.
I say in an embarrassed tone" Thank you for helping me back then and now for calming me down. I'm sorry for that break down, it must have caused you trouble and a headache."
He says " Your welcome and it was no problem. Now on to the main reason I brought you here making Cronus think his hand disintegrated your soul with your body."
I then accidentally thought out loud. "Wait there's more."
He said " Well of course, I never told you why I brought you here."
Hearing that, I though back to before and I noticed he never told why he brought me here. I then thought out many possibilities to what it may be, such as making me be his Scion or to joining him in destroying the dark alliance, but my curiosity won out and I asked. " So why did you bring me here?"
He replies " Ok, finally on to the main issue. Normal people's souls are created by their mortal plane or it's keeper ( it's founder); but yours was created by a dimension keeper. This rarely happens and the souls which dimension keepers make are most of the time either extremely powerful or unique, in your case unique."
I didn't understand anything he said so I asked " What's a mortal plane, a mortal plane keeper and a dimension keeper?"
He sighs and says" This is going to be a long day. There are many universes which make up one mortal plane. A mortal plane is created by someone or is took (killed the person for it, inherited, etc) from someone. There are many mortal planes in a Cosmo and many Cosmo's in a dimension. I'm pretty sure you can guess the ranks, a Cosmo keeper and a

dimension keeper are beyond that of a mortal plane keeper, as for higher ranks, you don't need to know as of now."
I thought for a second. Is there any ranks before it and what rank is the God of the Bible? I asked him the many questions in my head.
" Is there any ranks before it? What rank are you? What does that relate to you bringing me here?"
He says " Wow, calm down there. Let me finish explaining before you ask questions as your questions may be answered while I'm explaining."
Hearing that, I stopped asking him questions and let him explain.
He continues on: "There are ranks before it, but it depends on the world. The ranks become the same after you reach Hero level. The ranks are Hero, Saint, Demi-God, God, High-God, Great-God, True-God, Over-God, Sovereign, Immortal, Royal Immortal, Celestial Lord and finally Overseer. From Sovereign level to Celestial Lord, there are sub - levels which are low, mid, high, lord, king and finally emperor. Overseer is the highest rank, there is no sub-divisions. As for what my rank is, you don't need to know. As to why you are here, it is because I want to compensate for what the Dark Alliance did to you. The reasons I explained about the ranks is because I'm letting you be reborn as a baby with your memories in another world. The world might not necessarily from this dimension. While I don't know which Dimension Keeper made your soul, I don't want to offend him. Now to explain about keepers (Dimension, Cosmos, etc), when a being reaches a certain level of power they can create, own, steal a plane of existence (Solar System, Universe, Mortal Plane, etc). A dimension keeper has to be atleast a True-God."
This surprised me but also excited me as I get to have another chance at life with my memories. I can finally live a good life without regrets. I plan to make my parents proud and take care of them, have the strength so that no one can hurt me, my family or friends. I want to reach the peak strength. Knowing my goals, I ask " Do I have to learn the language on mine own?"
He nonchalantly replies " Don't worry I will make it, so you can understand, read and speak the language your parents speak. As for writing, that you will have to learn on your own. Other languages, that you have to learn on your own. Since you're going to have much more talent than others around you, you are going face harder and more hardships than others. People will try to kidnap you and sell you to Slave Merchants or might hire people to assassinate you. I advise you to keep some of your powers hidden, be careful. "
Hearing this reminds me about the Dark Alliance. I don't want others to be affected by other evil gods and suffer like me. Hurting others for their own pleasure disgusts me, I don't want to be a hero but I will at least be a decent man.
After igniting my resolve, I experience a pain unimaginable. It feels like my body and soul are being ripped apart and burnt into molecules smaller than atoms; or having me cells explode and my body being compressed by needles. After a while the pain goes away and a new feeling washes over me, a feeling of ecstasy. I think this is what God of the Bible meant by my soul changing and experiencing growth after choosing a karma path. A feeling of power cruised through my veins and I felt much stronger than before. It felt I can crush a person's bones by just grabbing them.
After checking out my new changes, I look around and see the God of the Bible staring at me with a excited and happy expression. It exclaims " Kail you finally woke up after a few centuries of growth and change. You chose the good karma path and the dark alliance was destroyed by you! You made the solar system much safer and I can finally rest easy."
Seeing his happy expression was expected but when I heard it took me a few centuries to finish my growth it surprised me and I asked " Wait what! I was morphing for a few centuries!"
He says " Well it took you 5 centuries to be exact. Now I will find the world which you will be reborn in."
A lotto ball machine appears, it seemly has innumerable amount of balls. He then pulls down the lever and a ball falls out. He picks it up and his face shows extreme shock. He then says to me " I don't know if this could considered good luck or bad, but you got the biggest planet in one of the major dimensions. The dimensions name is Metaron and the planets name is Magzeel. It is a fantasy world with magic, qi and all other powers of the Xenotra. There are numerous races and beasts in the world. The beasts have different classifications; the classifications are Beast, Magical Beast, Divine Beast and finally Demonic Beast. Beasts are monsters with no intelligence and only sought for destruction and food. Magical Beasts are beasts that have a little intelligence and can have innate affinities. Divine beasts have intelligence similar to humans, they have innate affinities and an innate ability. Demonic Beasts are stronger and smarter version of Magical Beasts. They have innate affinities and qualities similar to the demon race. Demonic Beasts are related to Demons and have special abilities similar to them. Magical beasts, Demonic beasts and Divine beasts can train and get stronger. When they reach a certain rank they will gain a demi-human form (beast-men form. Training even more, they will achieve the human form; the more talent they have, the more ranks it will take to reach the human form."
All this information interests me and makes me wonder about the world I will live in. I ask the God of the Bible " What is a Xenotra?"
He answers " That is something you don't need to know about now. I'll just say that it is there are realms after dimensions, and Xenotra is the final one, which only Overseers can control."
This is confuses me a little, but also intrigues me to find out what is after dimensions. I also want to find out how strong the guy who made or owns the Xenotra is. Well I'll find out later.
The God of the Bible continues "Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Beast-men are some of the numerous races on the planet, they are the most populated and main stream races. Beast-men are a little special as some of their races can be Divine Beasts, other than that they are same as what Earthlings describe them as; more warriors than mages. Elves have long ears, live long and have more magical oriented; they are like what Earthlings described them as but they have innate affinity to wind. Dwarves are pretty much the same as well; blacksmiths that are short, drink a lot of alcohol. Dwarves are either mages or warriors; if they are mages they are most of the times fire mages or earth mages. They have a innate affinity to metal, which helps them be blacksmiths. Now comes the complicated part; you may think humans are weak compared to other races, well they are not. Some humans are born with a divine body, which gives them special powers and can be trained. Divine bodies can only be born when the Void blesses the soul. The Void is the strongest existence of all creation, Overseers are all ants in front of it. The only thing that can rival it is it's wife, Time. Void and Time is something you will learn about in Magzeel, so I won't elaborate about them. Now, all races have something similar, bloodlines, Bloodlines are like what it sounds like, a special power which you inherit by blood. The most mysterious power, is the Gift, Gifts are something all races can be born with, it something which manifests in a soul of a person. Only a few people have it, most of the time it is old souls as it's formed from the energy your soul as absorbs when you die. Gifts grant the person different powers, for examples; Super-speed (divine speed) , Super-strength (divine strength), shape-shifting, etc. That is all the information I will tell you, as for the other information you can find out yourself since its more fun that way. Just saying, you have a gift and I will make you born into a family with a bloodline, now let's find out what is your soul's true form."
He then teleports in front of me and pushes his finger down on my forehead. Feeling a change happening to my body, I try to find out what's happening. After a hour I take the form of a black hole devouring everything around me before reverting to a human. Then massive amounts of information flood into my mind. I hear a faint mumble from the God of the Bible then he turns to me and says " Information on your race will go into your brain, tell me what it is so I can write it down if it's a new creature."
I reply " It's a divine beast with a innate affinity of devour and its innate ability lets it devour a beast that died, it has to happen in 24 hours after its death or else it won't work and I will take recoil, taking all the creatures abilities. It only takes innate abilities and affinities not gift, cultivation (Rank) or anything like that. It also takes its form such as a rat or dragon, and I can access it such as turning into the form or combining it with my others. I can create variants if I combine creatures together. It can be either new variants or old variants which already existed. I can choose to leave the body intact or absorb the whole body when devouring it."
I try to keep a straight face; not trying to show an expression because I didn't tell the God of the Bible's the abilities' weaknesses. After devouring the creature I will fall unconscious for a day to assimilate it within my body. Then after awakening I will lose all my strength and depending on the creature, will take time to regain my power back. For example, if I devour a rat, a creature not even a beast but just a normal animal, It will take around 1 hour. If it was a Dragon, it can take months or even years. I also can't train in that period of time. When I regain my strength, it will take a week after it to be able to use the creatures abilities or use its form or combine it with other forms. Combining it with my already existing forms will make me fall unconscious. Also another disadvantage is that I will feel unimaginable pain when I absorb or combine, it is so unbearable that getting you soul shredded to pieces is bliss.
The God of Bible's face shows no surprise which confuses me, and he says " I never heard of a creature like that what are you going to name it?"
I try thinking of different names such as the Abyss or Entity Absorber. I don't have the best naming sense and took me around 10 minutes to figure out what I'm going to name it. I say " I'll name it Mystic Devourer."
He jots it down onto a paper which appears in his hand and states " Ok I noted it down, putting it in the list of existing creatures. I will now transport you to the planet. Your race will be Dragunir. There are two types of dragons, all dragons are divine beasts, normal ones who reach demi-human stage after training and finally human after reaching an even higher stage. The second type is Dragunirs, they already in demi-human stage, but they can turn into a Dragon when they reach the age 6. They can also reach human stage after training, though it take less time than normal Dragons. Dragons gain another form which they mostly use when fighting since it's as strong as the Dragon form and more easier to fight with. It is the humanoid Dragon form, also known as the battle form, which all Dragons get at the 6th rank. You will be a Dragunir, as I said before, you will have a bloodline. From what I see, you have been bless by Void and have a Divine body, I will seal it until you reach 5th rank in bodily training. Good luck and have a good life with no regrets."
That's when my sight goes blank and I faint. I wake up in a dark but warm place, my feeling of strength from before disappeared and is replaced with the feeling of weakness. I see a light in front of me which I'm being pulled towards.
To be continued.
