After the tournament ended to decide this years number 1 student it went to Gunner, although quite a few students felt like he didn’t deserve it since he never truly won over Xzavon. There was going to be a duel between Holly and Xzavon to determine who would be in third place, and a lot of people wanted to see it but Xzavon didn’t care and just gave it up to her, which made a lot or ruckus as people were saying he was scared of her or that he didn’t want to lose face.

What Xzavon really wanted was to go check on his friends and see how they were doing, he has a spot in the top 5 so at least he can make a team now and he already has the members in mind. Not to mention they have around half a year to get even stronger, and with the resources they will receive it’ll be a big help to their future.

A beautiful jade like figure approached from a distance, absolutely breath-taking, not only did the male students take a chance to check this beauty out, even the teachers and females looked at her. She could truly make a country or even a kingdom fight over her, and as she approached she got closer to Xzavon.

“Aw, honey I can’t believe you gave up against that child, if it was your father in your shoes he would have beat him orange, white, yellow and pink.” That’s right this beauty was none other than Xzacons mother, Victoria. Upon hearing her say honey towards Xzavon it was like the whole stadium blew up in killing intent focused solely on one person, ‘how did he get someone like her’.

Blushing slightly and scratching his head Xzavon thought he if should tease everyone watching but quickly gave up that thought, “nah mom, it’s not worth it.” ‘Mom? This young-looking lady is his mother, how old is she exactly’ is what everyone was thinking.

Pouting his mother looked at him and said, “Why not, if you would have gotten first place every girl he would be begging to sleep with you. What man doesn’t want that, not to mention you’ll get the title of strongest, isn’t that what you wanted honey?” Although Xzavon did want the title of the strongest mage, he didn’t just want it for school he wanted to be the strongest in the world. That kind of dream is something worth living, not something as trying to be number 1 in school because school never last forever.

A voice that was coming from behind the beauty was heard, “Haha, this boy actually put shame to our good name. I guess you didn’t have enough training in the forest did you boy.”

This time everyone looked at him, and then it happened, some people fainted. They didn’t faint because of fear, nor was the man ugly, it was simply because of how famous he was. You must know to be famous enough to have your name spread across the world, and then step into a public place when people gaze upon you they can’t take the excitement in their hearts. When they can’t take it, they faint and that’s exactly what happened when they noticed who this figure was.

“Oh…m-my GOD! Isn’t that Jim, Jim Phenix is standing right here.” A female voice sounded. Of course everyone knew this was him, but they just didn’t know what to say, what could they say in the sight of a big shot like Jim.

“I-i-impossible, why would he appear here at this school. If I’m not mistaken he shouldn’t even be here, last I heard someone else was in charge of the clan. I thought he was dead.”

“You’re an idiot, how can he die, didn’t you heat the tales this guys immortal. Immortal I tell you, not even a dragon or even 10 can kill him. He’s what every man dreams of becoming”

Seeing that his father was so famous Xzavon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, he already seen his worth back at the last town they were in. But if these people knee how he actually was, they would probably call him a liar or even try to kill him for not bowing down in respect.

Finally one of the teachers in charge came forth, it was the same man who wanted to know who Xzsvons identity was. Orange hair reaching his shoulders, medium-sized build, dressed in a black and red robe. The man bowed to Jim before speaking, “Sir, if I would have know you were coming today I would have made accommodations. But if I may as what brings you yo a place like this, if you wanted yo recruit someone to your clan we will give you are 10 best no 100 best students to choose from.”

Slapping the mans shoulder Jim slightly laughed, “haha, I didn’t come here for that, I just came to see my boy win number 1 too bad he disappointed Mr though.”

Looking at her husband Victoria agreed, “Dear I would have to agree with you on this one, but you can’t forget its only been a month. Even if we could have gotten 1st place what can we expect of our son, we might have expected too much.”

Everyone turned their attention towards Victoria ‘Did I just hear this right, she said dear…right? I didn’t have crickets in my ears or heat the devils cry right..? If I didn’t that would mean she’s…she’s…!’ The Man once again bowed, “Mrs. I didn’t know it was you at all, you’re truly as the rumors say simply beautiful, no absolutely gorgeous.”

“Jim and Victoria, the two most powerful pair of adventures and couple, not to mention the leaders of the Blood of the Phenix sect. He is your son, no wonder he is so outstanding, it’s truly a pity he didn’t reach number one, but since you are his parents I’m sure he’ll do outstanding things.”

Looking at his son receiving such praise man Jim proud, but it wasn’t enough since he didn’t win first, he didn’t even win second or third but fourth. This was simply disgraceful to his name, “Don’t worry since he didn’t receive first this time around I guarantee by the end of the year when they duel again he’ll be the tip student. If he doesn’t then I’ll let your daughter have him, how does that sound?”

One must know that if there can be extremely beautiful girls there can also be extremely ugly ones too. No one wanted to marry his daughter, she was already 35 but hearing what Jim said he was truly happy. If his daughter could marry Xzavon even in name, their wealth and fame would rise by leaps and bounds. If she bore a child of Xzavons that would even be better, he was truly astounded. Showing a bright smile, “I will hold you to that, and it just so happens that this year is special. Not only will they fight again at the end of the year, but the whole school will fight for the top 10 spots. Then those top 10 will fight at the kingdoms tournament against the other top schools. This is our end of the school year exam, it’s truly tough this year, but that’s only because we have such outstanding talents so we just show them that the world is a place with hidden tigers and lions.”

Jim simply nodded in agreement, he knew that this guy just made all this up so that his son would surely be able to marry his daughter, but to Jim the harder the challenge the better it was for Xzavon.

“Mom where are Jack, Shina, and Eric?” Xzavon said worriedly, he hasn’t seen them since his parents came to see them.

Seeing that her son was worried she lightly smiled, “They went to town of course, to pick out some clothes and weapons for their stay here. Can’t have them come here without anything good can we.”

Disbelief showed on Xzavons face, he was also slightly envious at them because they got to go get great equipment. He wanted some top quality mage equipment, and some spellbooks. “Can I go out in town too?”

Jim noticed that his son wanted to use their money to get good gear for himself, but who is Jim, “haha you’re really a stupid child. Not only didn’t you get number 1 you even want to spend our money, those that don’t meet our expectations don’t get to use our money.”

Xzavon was startled, then he raised his voice, “What! You stingy old man, if I want to spend money let me spend money. You have a son like me and yet you treat me like shit, don’t make it seem like I’m not your own son.”

*Smack!*

Jim hit Xzavon across the face in front of everyone, truly making Xzavon lose some face but who would dare do anything or yet can do anything against Jim. “Stop acting like some spoiled rich kid, don’t spend what you haven’t earned. And don’t ask for other people’s money if you have no means to repay them.”

Holding his left jaw Xzavon glared at Jim, surely he wanted to get revenge but he can’t now he’ll just have to wait it out. ‘Just you wait old man, you’ll get what’s coming to you soon enough.’

“Honey don’t worry, you’ll still get a reward from me.” Victoria said, then she opened up a portal. “Come let’s go get your reward, then you can return and maybe they’ll be back by then. This reward is better than those things your friends are getting.”

Following his mom into the portal Xzavon was transported to a brown colored room. Victoria turned around and pointed towards a bed, “Sit down I’m going you help you open your spirit realm, that way you can release your spirit.” Xzavon complied to his mothers wishes and sat cross-legged on the bed, then he closed his eyes almost as if he was meditating. Victoria put up a light array around her son, this was no normal light array it was on that helped put people into a higher realm of consciousness. It is usually used to help people who want to become mages yet are unable to meditate, meditate.

Xzavon was felt like he was drifting away, not just away from this state, but as if he was getting pulled apart from this world. Suddenly a black light flashed, then a blue, next it was purple and these lights continued to flash back and forth in an endless motion. He felt calm, yet he was not, he felt worried but yet he knew that everything was going to be alright. Opening his eyes, it was a world filled with stars flashing through the horizon, below him was nothing but sea water. You would think this place is ordinary, but it isn’t everyones spirit realm is different, some people appear in a black secluded space, others appear in the sky. Xzavon’s realm was different, not only was the sky not dark, it was purple, the stars that were passing by were blue, and the sea water beneath him was black.

The water was still, almost unmoving like it was calm. Unlike the sea, the stars were moving fiercely though the sky as if it was worried something might hurt it. Maybe these two things meant something, or maybe it was just his subconscious feelings of life.

Xzavon knew this was his spirit realm, but he could not find a trace of his spirit anywhere, no matter if he looked straight, at the water, or at the stars. Nothing could be found, he really wondered if he had a spirit like his parents thought, but he knew he couldn’t give up. It’s not that he wanted to connect with his spirit by any means, it’s just that if he connected to it his parents would stop hassling him, and he can fulfil his dream of being a pure mage.

He felt like 15 minutes have went by, then another 30, he felt tired of searching endlessly for something that might not exist. If it did he had no means of finding it, because in his spirit world it was like an endless plane, you couldn’t see a boundary. “Hey spirit or whatever, come out so i can contract you and leave! Don’t worry, you can spend all your time here in this world, i don’t plan on summoning you ever.” Although Xzavon said that, nothing still happened, he truly felt like giving up. Sadly he couldn’t, it’s not because he didn’t want to, it’s because he didn’t know how to get out of this state. One would say the only way out, is if your spirit decides when you can leave. Being born with a spirit is nice and all, but it also has its ups and downs. The ups being that it can be a powerful spirit beast, the down is that if you don’t make a connection with the beast and it doesn’t send you out of the realm, you’ll be stuck there forever.

A voice that sounded as if it was distant, yet close, “Who are you! Why do you disturb my peace.”

Figuring that was his spirit beast Xzavon answered back, “My name is Xzavon, and who are you?”

“My name….frankly I don’t think you need to know it child. Once you hear it, it might scare you to death.”

The voice caught Xzavons attention from that moment, he wanted to know more about this voice, so he said, “Oh, really. Try me let me see what name is so great that it’ll cause my death.”

“Remember child, the name is UBERAS!”

Xzavon was bewildered, he never heard this name in his life, so who can this spirit even be. He knows that spirit beast have names, but is that really his name.

“Never heard of you before. Are you really a spirit beast?”

The voice shouted back, “Don’t compare me to those things child! I am Uberas, I am not a spirit beast, those things aren’t even worth mentioning to someone as great as me. I, Uberas am a god, one of the mightiest gods of them all.”

Curiously Xzavon asked, “A god huh, then why are you in my spirit realm?”

“Good question child, good question. Have you heard of Earth child, the world that surpassed all others?”

“My dad said something about it, but really didn’t pay attention that much. Said something about meteor descending, then god appearing, and new world.”

“I see, so the gods tricked those humans just like the others huh. Let me tell you child, You are in the world of Spurn, it is one of the 50 worlds out there. But that’s only what the gods want to tell you, in reality there were 55 worlds out there. They belonged to different races, the world of Pare, belonged to Elves. Xevois belonged to the Drawves, Plov to the Monsters, and Clorth to the beastman. The last one as you might have guessed it was Earth, but they are no longer around. It is simply because in each world there is atleast 5 gods, but overgod never cherished them as much as the other 5 gods. So one god from each world baned together to overturn the other 5 worlds, saying, “Why should they have people who cherish them, and worship them, while we don’t” and destroyed the other 5 worlds along with their gods. First was the monsters, they attacked and destroyed the world in the blink of an eye. Next was the Elven world, but the god put up a bit of a fight, but in the end he also died with his world. Seeing as how the other 50 worlds were now filled with monsters and elves, they were satisfied, until the monsters and elves started a war. That war lasted many years, almost 1000 years, before the gods became upset at the change, the monsters started diminishing the number of elves. Which meant, they were losing their population, to overturn that they once again sought out 2 new worlds. The beastman, and the Drawves also appeared in the 50 worlds after 1000 years of fighting. Them being here caused a fight over who should side with who, the beastman quickly allied with the winning side, while the drawves wanted peace, but they couldn’t have that. The drawves decided to side with the elves, but that only lasted around 500 years, then they disappeared to the underground where they could live in peace. Seeing that the elves side lost a huge part of their fighting force, the beastman and monsters attacked, forcing the elves to go into hiding. To the gods, this was amusing watching which side would win what, but it still wasn’t enough if they all left and one side dominated the others into fear. Thus they went to Earth, the world that hosted Humans, my world. I knew they were coming, but who am I, I am Uberas! Foolish gods thought they would kill me, but I hatched a plan to appear close to 50 years later. I never thought i would end up in the spirit realm of a mere child, this is disgraceful. Truthfully i thought i would at least be reincarnated into a boy/girl and seek vengeance for what they have done. Now i can do nothing, even my godly abilities have been sealed away, and I can do nothing but watch the gods enjoy their fun, i can’t even get vengeance for what they have done!”

Xzavon felt moved at the voices words, he never knew the real story behind the meteor crash or anything else, he felt disgusted at the gods. How could they destroy the homes of others only to appease their enjoyment. “Don’t worry, once i become strong enough i will help you with your revenge. With the power of a mage no one will be able to stand in my way, no one!”

“Child, a mere mage vs a god, that’s a childs dream. If you want power you need to make sacrifices, only then will you be able to become powerful. Without sacrifices you are only wasting your time trying to become strong, being strong is nothing, because there will always be someone stronger than you. But if you want to power to fight the gods, I will give it to you in exchange for something you hold. What do you say, do you want the power the fight the gods, let alone the fame of having your name spread wide?”

Quest: Exact Vengance upon the gods of the 50 worlds

Uberas the god of Earth is your spirit beast, although he was once a god he was reincarnated into a spirit beast of the absolute highest rank, Divine Spirit beast. He has agreed to become your spirit beast, but he can’t leave the spirit world until you make 3 sacrifices. Those sacrifices are going to be of something that will change the world for the better, or the worst. Whether it has something to do to you directly, or indirectly the sacrifices you make will in turn give you the ultimate power, the power to slay the gods. Accepting this quest means you can never abandon it, the gods will also know of your choice, although they won’t interfere with a mere mortal, but once you make the 3rd sacrifice you won’t simply be a mere mortal anymore. Accepting this quest also means you accept the fate of great power, and once you accept a sacrifice will be made in return for the request. After all 50 worlds are without a god, you will be given a reward that is worth more than life itself.

Time limit: Before your death.

Rewards: ????

Accept

Decline

Xzavon thought about it for a moment, a sacrifice what will happen if he needs to get rid of something he deeply cares for, but great power that can spread his name, “I accept!”

After accepting the quest, a golden light surrounded him, and then it rushed towards his body. It was painful, he was on the ground screaming, felt like his limbs were being torn apart, his blood vessels, even his heart was being broken and rebuilt. Through this process he also gained the memory of the past, his parents past their ancestors everything that has happened on Earth and how it changed. From the beginning of how Earth first appeared, to its destruction it was all implanted in him. He learned of the hardships people went through, the cruel ways they died, to how empires were built. Seeing wars being waged just because people wanted to ‘unify’ the world for their own goals, and seeing people destroy empires. Seeing the world advance with technology, and seeing how his parents lived before coming to this world. All of it, even the fight with the gods from the 4 other worlds, he learned everything Uberas said was true, and he felt deep rage somewhere in his body.

*BOOM!*

The golden light vanished, and Xzavon opened his eyes to see himself back in the brown room with his mother looking at him strangely. He hadn’t moved at all, looking at his mother he asked, “Is anything wrong with the way I look?”

Shaking her head, Victoria let out some tears and hugged her son, she simply replied, “Not at all honey. In fact I was worried if you wake or not, it’s already been 3 months since you tried to contract your spirit beast. School has started and everyone has been worried about you, but i’ve made sure to come here daily to check on you.”

Xzavon was stunned, 3 months went by, just like that, it felt more like 6 hours if anything. He looked at his appearance, sure enough there was no change, not like how he felt in his spirit world. Xzavon grabbed his mothers arms and pushed her away slowly looking at her with a slight smile, “Don’t cry mom, i’m back aren’t I?”

Showing her white teeth she smiled the biggest smile she could muster, “You did!”
