BXBX NOVEL Prelude: Erratic Fate Lines.
Chapter -1: Prelude: Erratic Fate Lines.
It was pitch black.
In the cold, silent, and dark void, a ray of deep purplish light sprang through as if it were cutting through the dark Infinite Void. It kept on moving without stopping for years.
An unknown amount of time passed, seemingly an eternity.
Suddenly, the path of the purplish light changed, which shouldn\'t have happened.
It was as if something was calling it, and it charged towards a gigantic sea of stars, which was shaped like two donuts crossing each other at a right angle through the diameter, with two squares overlapping in the middle, with the edges of one square completely touching the circumference of the donuts while the faces of the other square were touching the circumference of the donuts.
It charged into it, crossing through a thick layer of gas and energy and then tearing apart the Cosmic barrier, which protects the Cosmos from the corrosion of the Infinite Void.
-----
"Hmmm… Hmm…" An old man sitting in a boat that was flying in space looked up and hummed.
His lifeless eyes suddenly had a gleam in them as he saw a beam of purplish light tearing apart the sky and descending at an extremely high speed, and then it vanished.
The sky turned normal again, and the Cosmic barrier started to heal.
-----
Far away from this man, at the other end of the Cosmos there was a war going on… People were fighting and killing each other mindlessly.
In the midst of all this, roars were heard, saying...
"The All-Seeing Eyes is mine."
"No, it is mine."
"I\'ll annihilate anybody who gets in my way of getting the All-Seeing Eyes."
Suddenly, the thing that they were fighting for, which was embedded in the eyes of a gigantic statue, started to glow.
The statue started rumbling, and the eyes came out of it and started to fly away at a high speed as if something was calling it.
The statue turned into dust.
"Nooo… It can\'t be... It is mine."
Enraged voices were heard.
In the midst of this, a few people tried to get in the way of the two eyeballs, but they were not able to do anything to stop it and were directly killed. The eyeballs flew away with a golden streak towards another streak, which was purplish in color.
-----
In the empty void, a dull, black, and rusty sword inside an equally rusty and dull bluish-black sheath was floating.
Even though it looked nothing special, there was a charm around it that would attract anyone to it.
The sword suddenly hummed as if something was calling it.
The sword started vibrating more and more, and then...
It suddenly vanished!
-----
Inside a humungous tower floating in space, a man with brownish hair looked up as he saw a purplish-golden light streak passing through the tower.
He looked confused.
He frowned as he mumbled, "A great disturbance that may change the entire world is coming."
He then closed his eyes.
-----
Far away, a man flying in the void suddenly came to an abrupt stop in front of a ruin and looked around.
He was dressed in grayish-white clothes. He had a full beard around his face; his eyes were like sapphires, and his eyebrows were like two sharp swords.
He gave off the feeling of a sheathed sword that was ready to be unsheathed at any time.
He looked like he was searching for something.
"It is not here... Hmmm..."
He walked further into the ruin, where he saw a broken temple. The temple looked very old; its pillars were all broken, and its dome had fallen.
The most noticeable thing about the temple was that it was completely made up of Eternal White Jade Marble, which still retained its luster.
He looked forward and saw a banner that read \'Temple of Destiny.\'
He walked ahead as he passed through the broken pillars and came near the dome. He lifted the dome with his hands and flipped it aside.
He then walked ahead and saw a wooden box. He reached out and opened the box. Inside it, he found a single piece of paper that read:
\'The destiny of the one who shall wield this power shall never be determined; the virtues may bring unparalleled brilliance, while the vices may bring eternal calamity.\'
His eyes gleamed as he thought of something after reading it. He put the page back into the box and stored the box in his storage ring.
"The Myriad Physique source is not here.
Most likely, it will reach the person with the Fateless Physique, as there is no other physique that can handle the Myriad Physique.
This is really the advent of a taboo level character. It is as if the Cosmos is trying to fight something or someone.
But the Fateless Physique can only go to them...
Sigh! I wonder who is the lucky one, or shall I say the unlucky one?"
He murmured as he looked up and saw a purplish-golden light streak with a strange gleam in his eyes.
-----
In the deepest ends of the Cosmos, a being sat on his throne. He looked majestic, but bored.
This was the underworld, or the world where the dead contrastingly lived, and he was the emperor of this world.
Suddenly, he heard a rumbling, and his indifferent eyes showed a look of surprise.
His attendant spoke, "My liege, the Grand Primordium is reacting strangely..."
"I know, I can see that too. It looks like there will be a lot of disturbances in the next era. I wonder what has finally pushed our Cosmos to react, and to this level at that."
He acknowledged as he looked up to see the same purplish-gold light streak.
-----
In the void at the central region of the cosmos, inside a separate spatial dimension, there seemed to stand a humungous tree.
It couldn\'t be seen with the eyes of any being, as it was the very manifestation of the Cosmic Source of this Cosmos.
On one of the huge leaves of the Cosmic Tree sat a beautiful woman dressed in greenish-white clothes.
She looked like a heavenly immortal. Her body was the very definition of femininity.
Her mountainous breasts were protruding out of her body, struggling to come out of her clothes; the tip of the nipple of her breast could be vaguely outlined through her clothes; her flat stomach looked like a flowing heavenly river; and her round and robust ass added to her charm from the back.
It was not so big that it would look bad; rather, it had the perfect size, which added to her femininity.
She had the right amount of curves in the right places, which could fill any man with lust.
The most noticeable thing about her was her face, which looked like a heavenly painting: her round, symmetrical face, her small nose, her kissable red lips, and her big, watery eyes, which were pitch black but had a strange gleam in them and gave off a motherly feeling.
She was the spirit of this Cosmos who was responsible for the protection of the Cosmic Source.
She looked into the sky and murmured with her heavenly voice that could melt even the coldest of hearts, "The great change is about to take place.
To protect our Cosmos, we must stand and unite to fight the threat that is coming, or else we shall face utter destruction.
O\' the person who will bear this destiny, we shall await your arrival. May fortune be with you.
May you be able to fight your destiny, which is imposed because of the karma of someone else, and bring us out of the dark times."
She looked into the boundless sky and focused her gaze on the streak of purplish-golden light, which soon vanished into oblivion.
She finally said, "The Fate Lines can\'t be judged anymore. They have utterly turned erratic."
