《Monarch Of The Ink Sea》 The beginning for one and the middle for the rest In all of the universe , there was only darkness , there was nothing to be seen , except cracks which would appear from time to time , a large crack soon appeared as the silhouette of a child floated across , curled up like a fetus. Suddenly , the silence and the absence of light in the universe was broken , the child radiated a small golden aura but this was not it , light streaked through the ends of the universe , flashing at breakneck speeds towards the child , The source of light stopped , The light was not a man , or anything close , but the resemblance was there , it held the child in its arms before the child suddenly wavered , It started crying , ... MOTHER! I''ve already heard this story like ..one gazillion times! the light thing is fate and the child is the creator , tell a better story .. similar to the start , a child was here as well , however this child was actually wearing clothes (yes) and darkness was all around , the person the child called his mother was also there , however only her silhouette could be seen , she was shrouded by darkness , she replied to the child , ...you must not be so impatient , child . Those two are your fated enemies after all .. the child looked back with a perplexed face Then ..are they his fated enemies too?? the mother rolled her eyes in her mind , thinking : this child thinks he has no real enemies , he has never felt danger after all (Vinlnd saga ahh)- (she did not think that) She sighed before saying : look , he is but a baby with hardly any relations to you , his fate is not intertwined with yours . ... ..I understand .. at this moment the child did not even know what intertwined meant, the mother continued to speak : since you are so impatient , I shall let you visit the mortal world soon.. "What ..REALLY?! you have told me so much about it ! So when d-" the mother lifted her hand as the child stopped speaking "You will take this baby and wander the mortal world , I shall transport you there myself , as for when.." the mother thought to herself : these children have irritated me for more than a hundred years , I had to nurture them using my own essence , it will be better to send them as soon as possible , one of the children even has some attachment towards me , hehe , I will be making full use of that ..If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ... "Mother ! What happened?" "Nothing .. nothing happened"(one piss Zoro) "But mother , how we will survive without magic?" "It''s arcane , not magic , brat . Well , fine .." the woman radiated energy as she channeled her own essence as overloaded both the children''s mana channels with her own essence , she took great care as they did not feel any pain "Ahh I feel something inside my body !! woaah !" the woman manipulated her essence , not channeling but carving a symbol on the baby in one of her arms a black object , like a small cage to be held by a chain , appeared floating by the baby , which was now awake and rolling around , a lump of fire resided in the cage like structure , "What''s that , mother?" "It''s something from the future , it seems that this baby will have some relation to it in the future , his nirvana summoned it after all." "What''s nir-" "you won''t understand it ." "...can you awaken my nirvana thingamajig too?" "No." "Why?" "BECAUSE YOURE BLA-" (SHE DID NOT SAY THAT AND HE IS NOT) "Because ..awakening it by yourself will be much better , now go" "Go where?" a hole in the dark space opened as the child flew back from the suction force and got blown out of the space (when the child was gone the mother threw the baby in the space) The child fell as the baby fell on top of him , they were on a hard stony floor "this is .. a VILLAGE! MORTAL VILLAGE!" the child picked up the baby in his arms and continued walking around thinking to himself : mother did not even give us any information , did she want to get rid of us? But I''m too goated for that ..right? the baby started crying with a sound that was extremely annoying that could be compared to lag on earth , like some ten billion years later "SHUT UPPP!!!!!!" "WUAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH TINGGARINGAA" both the children stopped their beta yapping as they sensed some external disturbance from their newly obtained mana channels Another child flew from the sky quickly reaching them before landing on the floor like a hero , "Hehe , who are you immortals ? My name is seraphim!" "..names?.." "Yes , names? ..maybe you two are abandoned children.." "GAAH YOU! COURTING DEATHH!!* the two inexperienced children started brawling , they were both immortal from birth and their inexperienced brawling caused ripples of mana , which could be detetected easily At that moment , everything seemed to have stopped , a man quickly appeared faster than light and kicked seraphim to the ground "Hello children my name is Samson ..Samson watts" both the children looked at each other before coming to the realization that this was indeed , Samson watts , the creator of the mortal world and many other things .. which these stupid children could not remember samson looked at the nameless duo and grabbed them both before channeling his mana in their brain This was an advanced technique that could search their memories and analyze their channels (carvings or mana cores , later explained) "OHOHO So you are my children!" "WHAATTTT" "WHAATTTT" "TINGGAARINGAA" the three children screamed in unison "When I created the sun , a small part of it and a small part of my essence had been broken so I had put them in the void due to my laziness , to think you two survived!!!" ... "And to think that nothingness..the void became an entity of its own .. meh I''ll deal with it later ." the nameless child spoke after getting back up from the ground "aren''t fathers meant to help their children!!" Samson started hitting the gridddyy (He did not) "Is that all?" "Yeah" "what help do you want?" "mag- in the arcane , please help me in learni-" "No" ... Samson tried to justify his denial : the arcane .. is not for me to explain .. (lazy ah) .. also .. you are my sons so I shall bestow names upon you .. you ! You shall be called sunny , since you were formed by a fragment of the sun ,and that baby? .... "Yes Samso- father?" "His name will be ...." all three listened intently "Runny" ... Samson continued : "Because he has a runny nose" Samson abruptly teleported before any of the children could say a word Getting comfortable The children looked at each other in silence for minutes before getting up and walking in opposite directions ... Sunny returns (Baby could not walk so bro had to come back) "You are an immortal and can''t even crawl or walk , what are you stupid ?" "Tinga ringa ringa" ... Sunny picked him up before walking around the village , The village was filled with ruined homes , and no one could be seen Sunny walked around in silence , searching every nook and cranny of any houses which he found not to be too broken , However , his efforts were futile , He got up and instead started walking away from the village , there was a road which could possibly lead to another vilage and a forest nearby , "Wait" Sunny''s hairs stood on end "Child , wait" Sunny looked back , finally getting a look at the man who had spoken, The man was handsome , he had black hair with some gray strands falling in front , he was wearing rectangular shaped glasses even though they hadn''t been invented yet , Sunny spoke , breaking the silence "Who even are you , old man?" ... "I am the one which you would refer to as ..karma." Sunny''s eyes widened before he calmed himself once again analyzing the situation , then ..he started BS''ing "Hehe , you DO know that I am the son of the creator right??" "Naturally." "You better start helping me out with the arcane or I''ll have to call my father." The man smiled in silence , amused "Look , child immortal , good deeds will bring good karma , I will help you when you help others , that is how it works." "Well ..I helped this little baby out ." The man continued to spin this situation in the direction he wanted "His fate is not to be with you .. you can help him by .." Sunny listened intently This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. "By going in that forest , you''ll understand soon enough." "Well come with us then , so you won''t escape after making me do your bidding ." "Why would I escape?" "Thats what a beta would do .. from your stories I had imagined you would be a sigma , but you''re just a beta yapper." "child... beta and alpha , if something or someone is beta or alpha , that can only be decided by yourself!!" He continued "what I mean is , the eyes of the world do not decide when someone is a sigma , only that person can truly say if he is a sigma or not!!!" Sunny patted his knee while smiling "Put the fries in the bag , karma" (He did not say that) "So will you walk with us or not?" "if you are bent on insisting , then alright , I will ." All three walked towards the forest and quickly reached the boundaries , they entered and ventured deep inside the forest before the leaves started rustling from all directions , Shadows loomed over , moving continuosly before a hairy creature dropped to the floor , followed by a hundred more behind , The hair creature lifted his head before speaking : "I AM MONKEY KING BUDALI!!! AND I WANT THAT BABY!!!" Karma patted Sunny''s back Sunny asked : but why do you want this low quality beta baby? the monkey King thought to himself : hehe the child is an immortal with nirvana already awakened , and its giving the aura of time runes too , hehe the profits for our great monkey race!!! "He was looking like such a beta , I thought we will have pity on you and take care of him instead HOO HOO" "...well he always gave me the vibes he could be a monkey." "Even better then , HOO HOO" "Well fine ! But what compensation do you offer?" "Compensation? Hoo hoo??" "He is an immortal child with nirvana , did you think I am so stupid , huh? "...fine , what do you want?" Sunny whispered to karma : what should I get? i hardly know anything about arcane Karma whispered back : ask for the legend of origin , the book Sunny replied : a book? Are you sure that will help me ? Karma nodded his head and said : I can vouch for it ... "Fine , I''ll listen to you once, old man , lord monkey King budali , give me the book ,the legend of origin." the monkey King gestured some other monkeys , who brought a book and handed it to Sunny The two men walked in opposite directions once again as Sunny left Runny in the monkey king''s arms without even a word of goodbye to this illiterate baby , "Karma , now I helped him , leaving him there was what you wanted me to do wasn''t it?" "Fate decreed it , I did not particularly want that." "Fate this , fate that , it can guide the waves of the ocean of time so what?" "What are you intending to say , young immortal?" "If fate decides the fruits of your actions , is there even a point in trying? If fate will carry me to every height I will ever reach .. then I''ll beat fate and climb the heights myself!!" (2:1) ... "You will understand someday , little immortal." "Now , what you promised." "I did not promise anything but I will help you out , since fate has also decreed that." Sunny snorted at the mention of fate but continued speaking "Now , the arcane" "So impatient .. alright , then . Can you channel your essence ?" "..." "Haha , i should have expected as much , first of all , forget all your senses and imagine a formless energy moving through your body." Sunny closed his eyes , following karma''s instructions "... First try and successful , not bad . Now , make the energy move to the skin , like water moving against the walls of a vat , and then break it open." Kenny''s essence flowed against the walls of his channels , quickly breaking through and exposing his mana circuit to the outside "It''s flowing outside !!" "..don''t try to contain it , absorb all the essence from the surroundings , it will also bring your own back." essence from all over started gathering in Sunny''s body "Now , try to stop the leaking , don''t think of it as sealing your circuit , but instead like shutting a door." Karma guided Sunny in controlling his essence for half the night "Hff hff , this is so hard and I haven''t even gotten any powers or anything." "Cultivation is not for measly powers , it is defying heaven and climbing over the heads of others to get higher ... Heaven cuts all benefits and produces losses for all , so humans naturally do the opposite , sacrificing others for oneself , obtaining benefits for oneself to build a ladder to the sky! That is true cultivation! (2:2) Sunny replied after a moment of silence "That sounds like something a demonic person would say." "Demonic or righteous , it is all a perspective , heaven does not pity anyone based on their actions or perspectives , that is more of my job.." Veg Kebab An year had passed with the continuos cultivation of Sunny , guided by the mentor , karma "Karma , enough time has passed." "..you are referring to ..the forest?" "Naturally." "Haha , little immortal , you are even stealing MY line now ?" "Who decided it was yours , old man?" The two walk along the river while joking to each other , hours pass before they reach the forest , The two stand straight , like a spear before their aura spreads out like a wave throughout the forest , as silence spreads , Suddenly , leaves start rustling before some hairy creatures quickly arrive jumping from tree to tree , the sun''s light flashing around because of the moving roots , pushed down by the monkeys , A hairy creature drops down , followed by another hairy creature , except that , the other one has a covering over his head , like a topknot but in front , his skin white unlike the others "OO OO AA AA , SO YOU HAVE RETURNED !" "yes , budali , I came here to see my little brother ." "The white hairy person speaks : that would be me , and we were born at the same moment , brother." ... "You are actually grown up?? Holy shit , what kind of methods did they use on you?" "I was a baby before because the void mother did not want to nurture me , now I simply meddled a little bit with the waves of time and lo and behold." ... "You might actually be talented , but .." The white hairy man smirked , listening in anticipation "You are so hairy ! Hahahahahahaha! Wahahaha!" "..." Even karma started lightly laughing "WHAT THE F#¡ê&!!!!" Screamed the white hairy man loudly Suddenly , everyone froze as an external aura could be sensed from afar , "... If we can sense something from this far , it must have really dense arcane fragments on it .. crap , maybe it will not come towards us." Spoke Sunny The aura came closer and closer , speeding up before it smashed into the ground with everyone leaping back , The monkeys had already left and only the white hairy man was standing , unaware of the monkeys abandoning him , The giant beast , emitting a dense pressure , spoke loudly : "MYY NAME IS HI MOAN SHI!!! AND I WILL NOT STAND FOR SOMEONE SAYING ..THE ..THE .. F WORD!!!" Everyone looked at the white hairy man ,This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. Sunny spoke up : "yeah you can kill him or whatever , I don''t think he has much value." HI MOAN SHI SWEPT IT''S ARM TOWARDS SUNNY FASTER THAN HE COULD REACT , BEFORE BEING BLOCKED BY KARMA IT MADE A FIST AND PUNCHED TOWARD THE INNER FOREST , CAUSING A HUGE WAVE OF DESTRUCTION , IT KICKED THE WHITE HAIRY MAN , CAVING HIS RIBS , BEFORE TIME REVERTED BACK BY 2 SECONDS AND THE WHITE HAIRY MAN DODGED IT BY A HAIR "Let''s take this to the sky , shall we?" Spoke the white hairy man , Everyone leaped towards the sky , solidifying the raw essence in the air to step on , whereas karma simply flew A shrieking voice came from the forest : YOU WHITE HAIRY MAN !!! YOU CANT DIE TODAY !! YOU ARE MY HUSBAND !!! The white hairy man screamed : OF COURSE NOT , MY HAIRY MONKEY WIFE!! The white hairy man flicked his fingers as wolves came stepping on the air , standing in a line in front of him , HI MOAN SHI BURST OUT , LEAPING WITH IMMENSE SPEED , AT THE SAME TIME , The same voice from the forest screamed : ONCE AGAIN!! DONT DIE RAYMOND!! BECAUSE..I HAVE YOUR BABY!!! The white hairy man had lost all his will to fight , the wolves , with no coordination got endlessly slaughtered by Hi Moan Shi , before Hi Moan Shi could attack him , the white hairy man , spoke up , "Brother , car-mo or whatever your name is , will you help me?" "Beg for it." "PLEASE HELP ME , GUYS." "Say daddy." "....daddy." Sunny and Karma came in front of the white hairy man who was now too unfocused to fight , shivering from fear of the future (bro had a child) "I''m only fighting so you will help me in the future .. you understand .. Runny? No .. Raymond ? I fight for you today so you will fight for me tomorrow , cut down on losses and produce benefits!!! Isn''t that the way of your ''True'' cultivation ! Eh? Karma!" (3:1) Karma smiled deeply , "Also , Sunny , I will not help you this time , if you can handle it , that is." "You are expecting me to take on ...a beast with that much fragments?.. wait are you expecting me to..?" The two had been exchanging light hits with Hi Moan Shi while conversing as Hi Moan Shi itself was not serious , as it was trying to gauge or bait their abilities out , Karma replied while pushing Hi Moan Shi back : "Yes , you have enough foundation for it ." Karma suddenly pulled back , grabbing the white hairy man by his hairs (u decide which hairs) as he sped up rushing backwards , Sunny raised his hand before releasing all his essence through his circuit before attacking his own circuit with this essence , using external manipulation , like the voidmother had done at the start , The clashing of the arcane shards (dense essence) caused sparks , before all the arcane in the environment started dissipating , seemingly connected with the ocean of time , Hi Moan Shi stood there , unable to process a strategy as waves of arcane shards continuosly spread out in waves , which could cause huge injuries to one''s circuit , Sunny suddenly took back all the essence again before a sharp metal rod appeared behind him , "To think , my nirvana would connect me to ..an object of this sort? .. it even has a circular hole and can bend .. what sort of weapon is this .. humans must be really stupid to invent something like this in the future , and my fate had to be connected with this ..meh" Hi Moan Shi roared before bursting out with speed trying to attack , Sunny just stood there , contructing a circle using hexagonal shapes of dense mana Hi Moan Shi attacked but could not break it , fist shadows could only be seen as they hammered into the shield , The steel rod quickly flew , thrusting towards Hi Moan Shi , who tried to block with its arm , covered with green scales , unexpected however , the steel rod easily pierced through the reinforced scales of the beast , going through its hand and piercing through its brain , as blood showered from the sky Sunny manipulated the rod to come back out and quickly rushed back before the beast could regenerate , pieces of green and white flesh were still attached to the sharp rod , "Hehe , I guess we will have some Green kebab today , it even looks like leaves , Veg Kebab , hehe." Sunny quickly flew back , the beast would only get more powerful after waking from hibernation , and sunny knew it could not be beat in a battle of attrition so after catching it off guard , he could only run away , "Some would say running away is beta , and stand their ground .. but in truth , they are the true betas ! Sacrificing your life for keeping reputation or to not be called beta ... Survival is the only important thing!! If one does not survive , can he cultivate ? Can he reach the heavens lest above it ? No! The purpose of a human life is freedom , freedom of death can only be achieved through immortality , freedom of fate can only be achieved through breaking through the heavens and killing fate itself ! In essence (not a pun) Survival is the most important!!" (3:2) The envious would say this was beta yapping but in truth , this could only be said to be SIGMA YAPPING! Father Sunny flew through the air , sitting on the metal rod which still had some pieces of green meat attached to it , Controlling an object of nirvana was like breathing , Sunny could even read while managing to not fall , "Hmm , legends of origin.. chapter 3.. so basically , Samson is from another universe and heaven was created as a response from the universe? .. I don''t understand .." He flipped two pages backwards "Samson was fro...heaven.... There it is ! man''s will strengthens heaven and heaven''s will strengthens man (4:1) , in this case , heaven was created as a response to samson''s ..essence? meh , it''s not described ." He continued reading the next chapter , continuing from where he left off, "Hmm..karma and fate , both are children (products) of heaven.. and heaven is stated to be ..like samson''s sibling ? Makes no sense but the author must''ve known something I don''t .." The speed of his flight had grown slower as he flew over a beautiful plain , cultivated by mortals , "I guess this is another type of cultivation huh , but you''re not really cultivating yourself . .. So , cultivation is not just for yourself ? ... (INSERT NEURON ACTIVATION) Karma lied to me ..! Does he want me to lead a demonic life , is that what fate told him .. shit ! I''ll have to tread lightly with his ''fate'' antics .. Cultivation is not to fly to new heights , it is to lift the world to new heights with yourself .. cultivation is ..lifting a mountain by standing on the top and pulling it towards the heavens , those at the surface are lower while the ones of the mountain rise ! Lifting not only yourself but the world around you ! That is cultivation ! (4:2)" Sunny stopped reading as he increased his flight speed again , crossing the valleys along the river Sunny pondered while spreading his senses to all directions : I''ve been flying in their direction for a long time , why can''t I sense them , did karma mislead me and escape , just as I realized I can''t trust him he had already baited me , he''s a true master.. (read it again) "This might be an unorthodox method but I''ll just get the whole universe''s attention hehe , now... FUCCCKK!!! FUCKING FUCKITY FUCK!!!" His 4 words reverbrated throughout the mountains , dense aura could be sensed from afar again , the beast''s regeneration had sped up , The aura appeared behind Sunny , He looked back to see a fist , merely inches from his face , Blood flew across the air as Sunny slowly dropped towards the ground ,If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. This beast was atleast a 8th arcane awakening level beast : (THERE ARE 12 LEVELS , 5 IS THE BASE FOR AN IMMORTAL , SUNNY IS CURRENTLY AT PEAK OF LEVEL 6 AND CAN GET TO 7 IF HE WANTS , AWAKENING NIRVANA PROPELS YOU TO 6 AFTER 5) Some hours before : A monkey''s shrill voice could be heard : Oh husband ! You are finally back ! Boo hoo I thought you died .. the beast had just a powerful aura and you are quite stupid , why couldnt you just die boo hoo A white hairy man snorted and asked : you wanted me to die , jagrit honey? The monkey quickly protected herself : oh uhm of course not , I meant why could''nt the beast just die ..from your manly hands ..uh yeah ! I thought that the beast''s name was YU , so you misunderstood ! Hehe silly husband . The white hairy man replied : I understand , also ..about the child? The monkey shyly averted her gaze while she said : "It was just born ." "Wait , you were gone for 10 months ..right? shouldn''t it have been born like one month ago?" "..." "What?" "I..used time path methods , because I wanted you to be there , Raymond Smoldi Monkey.." The two wrapped each other in an intense hug , "Also husband , meet the others who went with me to the other tribe." Raymond exchanged a few greetings with the others , there was a black gorilla and some other monkey messengers , "Now , I want to see my monkeyman child..hehe" Jagrit led him to a secluded room , where her child was supposedly sleeping at the moment The white hairy man bent over , smiling like his happiness could have no end , he had given up before , thinking he could not live as a father , but he thought if the child was cute enough , maybe he might awaken some fatherly feelings , Sunrays danced on the wooden cradle as the white hairy man had his first glance at the baby , The baby had fur ..as dark as pitch black and some gorilla characteristics could be seen , The white hairy man fell back and fainted on the spot , ... Continuing back from Sunny''s side after some hours , Sunny was getting his a** whooped by the beast , that was how it would be phrased .. some ten billion years later , He spat blood on the ground before his vision turned upside down , he had been launched into the air , he had not even felt the sensation as his body was already half broken , he was in a state of near death , "YOU DARED TO SAY THE F WORD !!! YOU!! YOU STUDY THE ARCANE AND YET!! SUCH INSOLENCE!!" Fist shadows rained on Sunny as the metal rod drew light scars on the beast under Sunny''s control , The beast continued to attack relentlessly , it''s awakening level growing through anger , this was not possible for any ordinary creature , even immortals in this universe but this beast was far beyond ordinary , Stars twinkled in the dark sky , as something that could only be compared to a star , smashed into the beast , Dust scattered in the air and nothing could be seen or heard , except the groaning of an injured beast , "HAHA , SO YOU WERE HERE HI MOAN SHI!" CAME THE SOUND OF A MAN''S SPEECH THE DUST CLEARED AS THE MAN''S VISAGE WAS FIRST SEEN , IT WAS SAMSON! "Samson..i taught you how to interact with the waves of time myself ..is this how you repay me?.. hff" "You were like a man then , now you are just a beast , now let''s take our battle to somewhere else , shall we? I don''t want to destroy this land .. beating you with my fist will be too easy : said the man while vanishing , He reappeared after not even a second had passed but now there was something in his hand , A BANANA! He sliced the air with the peeled banana reinforced by arcane fragments which interacted with the space , He kicked the beast into the rift and went right after as they both vanished , Sunny quickly entered before the rift could close , Not even a moment had passed but the ever growing beast and the creator , Samson were fighting , Fist on fist , arcane on arcane , (Arcane essence is everywhere in the universe , everyone has a core (pocket dimension) which can be accessed by using arcane to interact with the space , you can interact with time as well to see the future or past or trigger some other methods , you can also cover objects with dense essence to empower it against other arcane methods , abilities are unlocked by increasing foundation by repeatedly refining your circuit and interacting with the future (nirvana) and some other methods for the next corresponding levels )
