《Yggdrasil》


 Prolouge: Origins

    Grey, everything is just grey gas.


    But yet for some reason this grey has was slowly condenses in one spot, but yet the amount of the grey gas known as chaos being used wasn¡¯t much at all.


    Millions of years later


    Slowly from where that chaos had condensed a seedling emerged.


    Billions of years later


    After billions of years the seedling had grown its first leaf. The leaf was emerald green colour with gold veins giving off a strong feeling of life.Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.


    Trillions of years later


    The seedling was now a sapling with over 10 leaves on it, on each of these leaves universes were formed, these universes were ruled by elementals, pure and raw condensation of the elements, these elementals grew to the size of stars but that was as far as they went and yet they were still comparable to dust to the sapling.


    Many trillions of years later


    The sapling had finally become a small tree, this tree had many thousands of leaves, on each leaf was a universe, all these universes had gone through the age of elementals which is where raw condensation of energy known as elementals died and then turn into the energy called Qi which was then used by the organisms that formed in the age after elementals to make them stronger. These tiny organisms after finding out they lived on a leaf decided to call the tree Yggdrasil, Yggdrasil liked that name and decided to keep it.

 Chapter 1: Awareness

    Narrator POV


    After many more eons, Yggdrasil slowly became aware although with only the intelligence and curiosity of a kid.


    Yggdrasil POV


    Black, everything is all black, why can¡¯t I see? I want to see! I need to see!


    Fear slowly filled my body


    Wait what¡¯s a body? Do I even have a body? Can I at least see my body?


    Breathtakingly boundless.


    Does we¡¯re the only words able to leave his mouth as he stared at the golden sap that filled his body and even the grey gas of chaos swirling around the very source of his life and all other life. I immediately knew that this very chaos so thick and strong was the very essence of his life and that without it he would be no more.If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent.

    I slowly continued to search around the insides of my body seeing sights so spectacular, golden sap the size of stars filled to the brim with an aura of life.


    Wait what are stars? Are they tasty? Are they big because the sap inside of me doesn¡¯t look to big. And why can I look inside of me but not outside of me? What am I anyways? What is my form and why do I have sap inside of me?


    I guess I might be able to find out later, yeah that¡¯s right why does it matter anyway. I should just keep exploring like any good thing.


    Yeah a good thing, cause I¡¯m a thing right? Right? WHY IS NO ONE ANSWERING ME?


    Narrator POV


    In Yggdrasil''s anger all of his branches and leaves shook in response to his anger as if ready to fight anyone no matter how powerful.


    All beings alive and living on Yggdrasil suddenly felt a burst of anger many mentally unstable beings powerful or not had gone berserk and on a rampage fighting and killing anyone who got in there way, but then it happened.


    In response with Yggdrasil the leaves all rustled and moved with unspeakable finesse so powerful that a calamity occurred on all universes living on Yggdrasil, all planets or stars, including living being were crushed under the simple pressure and anger from of Yggdrasil''s leaves. Almost everyone died that day, but luckily powerful powerhouses of that era barely managed to survive wether just barely surviving or not.


    This era became known as the calamity era and all beings who survived were unknowingly cursed with infinite bad luck. (Authors note: feels bad man)


    Yggdrasil POV


    What was I doing before? Oh that¡¯s right I was exploring my body! How fun! But why do I get a feeling I just did something bad? Eh oh well no matter.

 Heartwood

    Narrator POV


    As Yggdrasil slowly continued searching his body he got closer and closer towards the centre of his body, where his heartwood was located.


    Yggdrasil POV


    Ooh what¡¯s this? Why does it look so different from everything else? What is this strange aura it¡¯s completely opposite from the rest of my body full of life. It give an aura of death right? Yes death, but what is death why is this piece of my body different from the rest. and why are there things entering this place filled with death that seems less than pleasant. They¡¯re so tiny, they don¡¯t even seem to be purposely entering. Is this thing inside me attracting these tiny beings who are for some reason transparent, yes transparent that¡¯s a good word. But what are they. Souls, yes souls that seems right, right?


    Do I even have a soul? Is a soul what makes something living? Can I go there with my soul and see what¡¯s happening there and why they go there, yes that seems like a good idea, I should do that. But how do I do that, do I just go through it, yes that seems like a good idea I¡¯ll just do that.Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.


    Wow what a strong aura of death, I must be pretty powerful if aura is this strong. Power, powerful how do I find out if I¡¯m powerful? Would I have to find someone to see how powerful i''am? Maybe I could just compare myself to these tiny souls but for some reason that seems unfair. Anyways I can find out later I should go in there now shouldn¡¯t I.


    Shocking, just shocking the only words that could leave my mouth.


    It was completely different from the rest of my body...


    If I were to describe what it would look like it would be a vast expanse of blackness filled with countless stars creating a beautiful and powerful atmosphere with a black river the darkest of black you could find coursing through the heartwood from bottom to top defying the very laws of gravity engulfing all the stars dimming their light and all the souls of the dead entering that river and having all their karma and memories removed from them whilst moving upwards towards the top of his body where his crown and then they are released back to his leaves to live again a new life, basically a cycle of reincarnation within my own body.


    But why are these people reincarnating onto my body and why are they inside of me anyways, that seems pretty dangerous having an unknown amount of living being inside my body, but they do look pretty weak so I guess it probably wouldn¡¯t matter much anyway. But yet what is up with these stars inside of me, they seem so weak but yet they are so much more powerful compared to the rest of the souls down below me in the river. Wait why did I just think they were souls? Are they souls? Are they just maybe powerful souls and they get a special position in the cycle of reincarnation because of their power? Maybe I could communicate with them, because they¡¯re more powerful they might still be able to control themselves and be aware, hmm I¡¯ll try talk to them then.

 Chapter 4: Knowledge

    Yggdrasil POV


    As I slowly got closer to one of the brighter souls I could slowly make out the appearance of the soul, it was an middle age man with ginger hair and a ginger beard reaching down to his waist, he was tiny even compared to normal size souls he was only half the size of the average sized souls here, but yet he was also quite peculiar because unlike the rest of the souls this one carried around a hammer with him, why a hammer though, it doesn¡¯t seem that useful and why does he have a hammer?


    As i continued to look at this dwarf like creature I realised that much like all other souls he also had no intelligence and didn¡¯t realise he was in the river of reincarnation. What a pity I thought there might be someone to talk to and learn from. Hmm well who¡¯s saying I can¡¯t learn from him couldn¡¯t be possible for me to read his memories, I think I might try that.


    As I thought of that I figured to read his memories I might have to touch him, so I did as I thought and reached out to him as I did I realised what was moving to him was a small tendril of wood from my soul but wait why is it wood? Maybe his memories will help me find out that rights they probably will.


    A large influx of knowledge and information entered my mind when I touched him, apparently this person from the race of the dwarves had live many millions of years hence proving his strength. I also found even more shocking information about his world universe and where that universe was located. Wow I did not realise I was that big it was no wonder these tiny humans and other beasts were able to escape my eye they were just too small, and apparently I¡¯m a tree a tree seems nice.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    Yet for some reason at the end of his life he just died from some unspeakably strong pressure judging from the power it also seems as strong as mine... could there be an enemy somewhere on my leaves. I¡¯ll try find out later. Yeah that seems good I¡¯ll leave that job to future me, wait but apparently I also have complete control over space and time so wouldn¡¯t I technically also be future me? Hmm that seems dumb. I¡¯ll just leave this problem for future me.


    Anyways I also found out a technique to see apparently it¡¯s called opening you¡¯re eyes it takes most being around 9 months to accomplish this and yet I¡¯m about to do it in just hours. Aren¡¯t I a genius. Anyway I¡¯m off to open my eyes.


    As I moved back from my heartwood I went back to the edge of my body and onto the crown of my body. Apparently the most civilised and advanced universes are located there since that¡¯s where most of the Qi is located hence making it a holy and powerful place, but yet in any world where power determines your place in the hierarchy it was a dog eat dog universe where weak are abused and strong prosper.


    As i reached the crown of my body I slowly readied to open my eyes for the first and see my body as I opened my eyes I saw my green leaves and the pulsing golden veins in them and the almost infinite amount of rocks and stars resting on each of those leaves and each of those rocks holding an extremely large amount of life.


    When I read the dwarves memory apparently the year was about 19273 in his home world but yet for some reason the year was now 40542 over 20000 years had passed from my trip from inside to outside my body. Well I guess that makes sense seeing the size of my body I probably could¡¯ve exited faster if I tried but I guess I was just to lazy.


    Yawn


    I''m so tiered, well I guess being awake for 20000 years straight is quite a challenge so might as well sleep then explore my universes later.
