Chapter 340 - How it All Began (2) (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

The inside of the room was pitch black, it was as if my eyes were closed. The temperature as well was cold. It felt like I entered a room of complete nothingness.

I started a small fire burning on the top of my palms to make light. I tried moving it from left to right, trying to figure out how big this room was. But unfortunately, I was not able to see anything. No furnitures, no walls, and not even a ceiling. It was a if I was never entered a room, it felt as if I was not even inside a room in the first place. I walked, trying to assess my surroundings.

”Looking around, it feels like I was transported into a different space after entering the room.” I said.

I walked aimlessly with no direction in particular. After some time of walking, I made a conclusion that this space seemed to be endless. Therefore, even if I walked aimlessly it will not take me anywhere. I stopped walking and was deep in thought.

”I will just tire out if I walk even further. Is this some kind of test, what should I do?” I asked myself.

If this is some space outside from my own world, maybe time is not something I should worry about. I have to keep a level head while thinking of a way to find the key fragment from this endless nothingness. Then I thought of doing some experiments.

”Fire pillars!” I chanted. Fire pillars emerged from the ground upwards.

I made as many as possible, just to illuminate my surroundings. After using my magic, the surroundings started to brighten up. To my amazement, the black nothingness around me changed into a blue sky with white clouds flying in one direction. I was now stepping on ankle deep water. I looked at the surroundings, seeing an endless view of this.

”What is this now?” I felt my eyebrows crunched, feeling this situation more and more incomprehensible.

”I see that you are one of my descendants, so that is why you were able to pass thru the door.” A familiar voice said. I turned around, looking for where the voice came from.

”Almighty One?!” I was shocked to see the Almighty One in his younger form.

”Oh, you know me?” The Almighty One smiled.

”We met yesterday evening, did you not remember?” I asked in confusion. ”You were the one that told me to search for the key fragments.”

”Oh, I see. Now I understand.” The Almighty One nodded in understanding. ”That means you have met my true self.”

”Your true self?” I asked.

”Yes. I am just a fragment of him, tasked to watch the key fragments.” The Almighty One said. ”The other key fragments have others like myself watching over them. So, my true self told you to get the key fragments? Hmmm.” He leaned his face so close to me that I instinctively take back a step.

”Y-Yes?” I asked awkwardly. ”Do you not believe me?”

”No, I believe you.” The Almighty One stepped back with a smile. I sighed with relief when he backed away from my personal space. ”I can feel my true self's presence on you. That validates that you were in contact with my true self. That just means that my true self has chosen a body to be reincarnated to.”

”Yes, my child that is still in my wife's w.o.m.b. He is the chosen one.” I replied. ”My wife, she is under the sea as of now, and I need the key fragments to pass the guardian azure dragon to get to her.”

”Hmmm, I see.” The Almighty One was holding his chin and nodding. ”That one is really strict with orders that is given to him. You really cannot pass without the key. Well then, I will give it to you.”

”Really, you will give me the key fragment?” I said with joy, a smile crept on my face.

”Well yes, of course I will give it to you. As you are the father of the future me.” The Almighty One smiled. ”But first, I would like to tell you something.”

”What is it that you want to tell me?” I asked with curiosity.

”It is something that the future parent of my soul would have to know.” The Almighty One said. ”It is about how my life began, before I came to this continent.”

”Your origins?” I asked.

All I know about the Almighty One are the ones written on books. But everything in books was about him after arriving here in this continent. Anything about him before that, we do not have any knowledge of it. All I know was he came from the east, meaning he came from one of the countries across the east sea.
