《A Dryflame Child's Life (Rewriting)》Chapter 34-???????
Advertisement
All i could remember was my death.
Yes,i died.
I don't know how i died,what i felt or what caused it.I only know that i died.
My life was a great one for the people,small for the gods.But nevertheless,i think it was simple.A simple,calm life.
Filled with desperation,hatred,slaughter,murder,agony,sadness,sorrow,fear.
I felt emotions that i can't even describe,i saw things i can't believe.
Now,i escaped from the ties of fate.I don't have anything connecting me to this filthy world.This world isn't worth my love and respect.So i shall use it different this time.
I won't love this world!
I won't respect this world!
I won't obey the laws of this World!
I won't.
No matter which time and space,reality and illusion,dimension or universe i am in,i won't show mercy to this world.
The one that's worth my respect is the life itself.
All life is like me.They have born under the oprresion of this filthy,selfish world.They have been supressed by it's measly laws and guardians of it,Which are called 'Gods'.I have a mission now,from my dear master.I have a promise to fulfill,from my dear mother.
I swear on my very soul and existence itself
No god will escape from my hands,
I shall bring destruction to their domain,
I will extinguish their divine souls,collapse their reality,
I will surpass all,look at them from high above,
I WILL open the path to the upper world and bring glory back to this lands.
Who i am?
I came from the Lord of Time and Space,Chronos,The First Fate Breaker,
I came from Ezekiel,Lord of Light,The Second Fate Breaker,
I came from Endless Oblivion,where rests the souls of my comrades.
I am 3rd Fate Breaker:GERRARD OF THE 9TH WORLD,CHAOS LORD!
..........................
In a hidden space,where lay countless dead bodies stood a mighty Giant.It's body was fully covered by fierce flames,just a spark of it enough to extinguish a continent.One could see it's horrifying eyes filled with deep bloodlust.Suddenly,a tremor run through the giant.It's merciless eyes shook like experiencing a terrible quake.
''NO WAY!''
As it shouted towards the high skies,sound itself destroyed all dead bodies near to 1000km around Giant.Even so,one could still see dead bodies forming mountains,visible at the horizon and filling the earth.Giant directly thrust it's hands in front of it,tearing the space like it was a butter.
It stepped on the chaotic space,which was deadly even to high gods if not prepared enough,and disappeared inside it.Before disappearing it's eyes were shaking,like an volcano that could erupt anytime.
.....................
Inside the endless darkness,a huge body that couldn't be seen with naked eye was lying down.Suddenly,a tremor ran through the huge body,which showed a scaled,horned head.It was Arihan,Water Lord.His eyes were just like the blurry giants,they were shaken deeply.But both felt different emotions.
''RAMLA!''He directly shouted in the eternal darkness.A ripple that could shake the continents spread from his mouth and traveled millions of kilometers,reaching to a small village.This village was consisting of 5 houses,all filled with 4 person families.All flora near to 100km of village was covered with green lush forests and high mountains.But further than that was a deadly desert.
This village was the Awakener Village of Wester Deserts,protected by a Sand Dragon.As the ripple of Arihan reached to the village,another ripple spread.This ripple was slightly less powerful than Arihan's,showing the disparity between them.

''I Sensed it too.Another Fate Breaker!This time we can't afford it Arihan!''When Arihan listened Ramla's response,his heart was also filled with worry.He could sense the excitement in Ramla's heart.''Gerrard is not like Ezekiel,he won't choose someone that easily.And we can't do everything ourselves.''
Ramla understood what he meant,but she was still not willing.''Ramla,Please.''But when she heard Arihan's pleading voice,which she didn't heard for 460000 years,she let it go.''Alright dear.''
...
In the high skies of chaos world traveled a lone,ancient hut.It was a simple yet unordinary wooden hut.It was like an illusion but reality at the same time.It was flying at an speed that couldn't be estimated but at the same time,staying like a wooden log at it's place.It was a lone,ancient hut.
Hut's inside only contained a bed,a small chair and a library filled with books.Yes,a library.Library was so big that it could hide a city inside it.All shelves were filled to the brim with books emanating different auras.There were even books flashing like a sun or showing images of different people.All of them were real-like,just like they were existing life forms.
Holding one of the books that radiated a calm aura,a old man was sitting on a chair.He was bald while his face was filled with wrinkles.In his eyes were no pupil,only full white.He wore a simple robe that was scratched and teared in several places.As he was gazing at the book he was holding,old man suddenly trembled.He disappeared from the chair instantly and reappeared at a strange place in chaotic space.
Just as he appeared,he sensed two other auras nearing to him at extreme speeds.He punched the chaotic space in front of him,shattering it to the bits.After space was destroyed,he could see a land filled with only grey space.There were no life nor any matter in this particular space but a single man.
The man inside had a hair that was blacker than the void and eyes with no pupils.His body was covered by multicolored lights hile he was unconscious.Old man directly thrust his hand and held the man.Then directly disappeared.It takes time to describe but everything happened in an instant.
The moment old man disappeared with black haired guy,2 blurry giant appeared at their place.One of them was covered by deep flames that could destroy everything in it's way,it's eyes tainted with deep bloodlust.Other blurry giant was covered with deep blue waters,it's eyes looking kind and sincere.But deep down laid a coldness that could freeze the starry sky.
''DAMMIT!''Firey giant roared with frustration and slammed it's fists in front of him.Because of the force of it's blow a small black hole appeared,slowly sucking all kinds of matter and energy around him.But before it got a chance to grow,Water giant directly sent a palm on black hole,completely destroying it.But it was even more shaken and frustrated than the fire giant.
''This is our loss''Water giant said while gritting it's teeth and sliced the chaotic space in front of them once more.At the other end stood a heavenly place filled with immortal plants and palaces,where countless chains fell down to the ground and connected to 6 mountain big cages.''Let's go.''With a last look at the endless chaotic space,two giants disappeared inside the space tunnel.

...
It has been a month since Grim came to the Dragon 'Country'.Everywhere was filled with beatiful flowers and trees with exotic sights while it was a great joy to watch colorful dragons fly freely in the 'Sky'.In this month,other than working on his creation magic,he also talked with Big sis,Madam Deathcarrier and Big sis's little sister many times.He even made some friends among dragons,though most of them still distanced themselves away from him.
It was still nice to have friends though.His whole days passed like:Watching the scenery,traveling and talking with his dragon friends,having dinners with Black dragon family and practicing creation magic.He also improved a bit faster in the first half of the month,after that it turned back to normal.He learnt from Madam that it was the result of excessive mana from the God level magic.
His inner image was filled near to %30 percent while his inner mana pool was full,while there were no need to tell outer mana pools situation as he could absorb freely as much as he want.In the chaos world,even though some methods could differ,most races used pool system to advance.
In every creature was a small wheel,and a orb standing at it's middle.Round part of the wheel was Outer mana pool,where all absorbed mana was standing.The lines from the round shape to center orb was refining passages.One could always use the mana to directly advance but it would destroy their whole potential,only limiting their prowess.But even so,it would take a very long time.
When one wanted to advance steadily with no problems,they would refine the mana from outside and purify the impure parts.Refining process was generally boring to most people because it took long but this was the place where talent came to work.More inner talent a person had,the faster they could refine the mana.While refined parts were kept inside,impurities would be released by the pores on the body.
After impurities were thrown,pure mana would fill the orb at the center,which was called inner mana pool.Refined mana was contained in here,generally kept to advance higher ranks.Because near to everyone would use Outer mana pool to execute their spells and attacks,Reason was it could be gathered much more easily and be replenished automatically rather than the pure mana which had to be refined personally within long times.Though spells using inner mana was much more powerful.
After gathering refined/pure mana,one could lead it to the image at the center of the orb.This image could differ from skill to skill but essentailly they all needed the same thing,Mana.With every rank increase,image would be more and more realistic and at the 1st rank,hero realm,it would turn into a real matter/entity.
Grim was still at 7th rank,so he had a very long way to go.But he was filled with expectation towards future.As he was still thinking,a low knocking sound awakened him from his thoughts.''Grim,breakfast is ready!''He once again forgot what time it was.Checking the outside,he saw it was already 'morning'.
He got up from the bed and said''I'm coming'' while walking towards the door.When he opened,a small boy with pink hair and a small horn appeared in front of him.''Hurry!Hurry!Everyone is waiting!''Grim nodded with a smile but when boy saw his smile,he showed a disgusted expression.''Hey!Don't make such a face with that dark lines under your eyes!Why are you not sleeping,you are not a dragon!''
''Then why are you sleeping while you are a dragon?''Grim asked to him.Boy looked at him a bit puzzled,like he didn't understand it.Then a spark of intelligence appeared in his eyes,which was continued by his pure voice''Because it's comfy!''Grim only shook his head and said ''Lead the way.''Which boy complied with great happines.
This boy was one of his friends,Gil,a mist dragon.Even though he was looking and acting like a child,he was near to 300 years old.Much more older than his old dead grandfather.This thought disturbed him a little at first but when the others revealed that their ages were near to 2000 he just felt numb.
After walking down the stairs and getting past a big door,they arrived in a hall.It was just like all halls of building,green crystals at the side walls and a big crystal at the center of ceiling to keep insides bright at the nights.There was a big table that could fit tens of people,while currently sat near to 60 people.Table was filled to the brim with delicious foods and delicacies.
Grim was shocked by the number of the people.He could see big sis with her little sister at the sides of Madam Deathcarrier,who was sitting at the head position while his other 2 friends were sitting near to right ends.They had 2 empty chairs,emptied for Grim and Gin.
As they entered,all eyes directly turend to them.Gin was pretty carefree,as he was used to curious glances.And he was pretty much enjoying getting attention.But Grim was not like him.He lived in his house for 15 years,even though he visited pale city one or two times a year he didn't made something to get attention.
Even at the academy he only talked with his brother and friends,which he was only acquianted for 3 days.When he was at Friedcow he got some attention but most of them were not directed at him,or he didn't feel it.So he was a bit nervous about it.''H-h-hi?''He spoke with a nervous tone,and gulped a bit.Gin looked at the crowd then Grim's nervous expression,then his eyes shined once again.
He directly took the hand of Grim and pulled him to their seat.After they sat,most retracted their gazes,not putting much importance at him.So Grim relaxed a little.When he gazed at the people sitting cautiously he saw Demi's little sister smiling widely.Some people commented about her looks and achievments,directly flattering her.But only he,madam and her sister knew why she was smiling.
He felt more frustrated when she smiled.She was a cheeky woman,who loved to tease and play with the others.It must be quite a fun to see him being so nervous in front of the crowd.Fortunately he didn't do anything awkward or she would laugh about it all day.After seeing Madam Deathcarrier's calm gaze and Demi's flashing eyes,he stopped looking around.
He expected something grand to happen or Madam to celebrate,announce something but none of them happened.They just spoke while eating,like a normal friends gathering.Though these friends were all freaks who were tens of thousands years old.It was a normal age for Dragons though,it may even be considered small to Ancient dragons,who lived for hundreds of millenniums.
As they ate,he also talked with his friends.One of them was a girl wearing a veil that covered her face,but it could be seen she was quite beatiful.She had pink hair and a horn,just like Gin but with a bigger horn,and pure green eyes.She was Fei,big sister of Gin who was also a mist dragon.Other one was a boy looking at his 20's.He had bright blonde hair that could shine under the sun and 2 grand horns at the sides of his head.He was very handsome with a elegant suit and bright black eyes.He was Cai,a white dragon.
When one looked at the crowd,they could see that most people resembled two of them,making it clear that 3 families relationship was very good.When Grim noticed it,he asked to Cai what all of this was about.Suprisingly,this 3 family were bonded from their early days.When Dragons came to being black dragons,as one of the 3 peak families,took their families under their wings and protected them at chaos era.So they would do monthly feasts at 3 families,while this time it was black dragons' turn.
He thougt this matter shouldn't have been so simple,but he didn't want to be rude.Everyone had secrets,especially big families like them.Cai also looked at him with gratitude about it so there were no further complicated conversation.They only talked about some random things while eating and time passed like that.
After main food was done,servants entered the room and swiftly took all the dishes without any slip and unneccessary movement.It was a good show to watch them but most families were used to it as they had their own as well.Then another group of servants entered,distributing delicious looking desserts and Tea.
After placing them,they bowed slightly then left the room in unison.Grim looked at his right and left to see how people were eating their desserts.This place was too high class for him so he feared from making some strange movement to disappoint Madam.He was a guest of her after all,it would be unappropriate to make a wrong thing.
Fei just used a simple fork with elegant movements,clearly educated from a young age.Then he looked at the Gin.He was just wolfing down the dessert,like he never saw something like it.Some people sent amused glances towards Gin,clearly not disturbed only feeling he was a cute child.Grim was not a one though.
When he looked at the Cai,he breathed a sigh of relief.He was just eating like a simple man,with no flashy or elegant movements.After confirming it,he slowly put his hand on fork.Before he could pull it,he felt a strange sensation enveloping him.He raised his vigilance and looked around,but didn't see anyone making anything so it shouldn't be related to them.
Just as he retracted his gaze,he saw amused glance of Demi's sister,which gave him a bad feeling.He gulped in nervousness and retracted his hand.As he took his hand back,Gin also complained a little by saying dessert was too little.'This is the chance'He thought and said ''You can eat mine.I don't feel any apetite anyway.''
Gin's eyes flashed with happines and said a ''Thanks Grim!You are the best!''And took his plate.Grim sighed with relief,once more,and sent a winner gaze at Demi's sister.After that he didn't look at her face and continued to conversate with the trio.
After an hour,whole gathering was done and everyone dispersed other than Grim,Cai,Gin,Fei and household.After everyone was out,Madam Deathcarrier turned towards her little daughter,Maira.Maira felt a chilling gaze from her mother and bowed her head a little,then walked towards upperstairs.When she looked at Grim,she chuckled a little like she won the whole matter.Of course,others wasn't there to see it.
'Oh,let me check what was wrong with that fork.'Grim thought in his heart.Servants were coming a bit later so everything was still on the table.He walked towards his place and cautiously put his hands on fork.He applied a very small force to lift the fork from the table.But the moment he applied a force,a strong power forced him closer to the table and in a instant,his head directly smashed to the table.Tabel was broken while his head was a bit bleeding,not a serious thing though.
Madam Deathcarrier only sighed at the situation while Gin's trio was supried and directly rushed at his side.Madam gave servants some extra orders to put another table and left.Grim held his head in pain while sending a glare to the upper floors,swearing to repay in his heart.
With dark slits under his eyes,a red bulge at his head and a frustrated heart Grim followed his 3 friends outside to hang out while Maira looked at his sorry state with a warm smile from her room's window.
