BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1 - 01: StarHaven
Chapter 1: StarHaven
In the Endless Expanse of the Blank Domain, a young man could be seen sitting in a bored manner. In his eyes, there was nothing but pure abyss and chaos. But currently, his entire focus was on a little white cat sitting on his shoulder.
"How long has it been since we\'ve begun wandering like this?" the young man asked, yawning. His expression clearly showed pure boredom.
"What, already bored?" the small white cat cast a disdainful gaze toward the young man and said.
The young man just hummed in reply, clearly too bothered to even respond.
"You know, Aadi, it\'s only been a few million years, and you\'re already like this. What will you do for the rest of your life?" the cat said to the young man named Advait, or nickname Aadi.
"Oh, it\'s already been that long, huh," Advait looked into the pitch-black eyes of the cat and said, "Say Asty, we\'ve already reached the peak, so what now?"
"I asked the same question to you before, remember? And what was your answer? \'We will do whatever we want,\' so just do what you want and let me sleep." After saying this, Asty turned her head to the other side and began snoring.
Aadi\'s eyes twitched at seeing this, and as he thought about his answer, he sighed. After all, he did tell her that.
"I know I can do whatever I want, but nothing comes to my mind. Give me some suggestions, will ya?" Aadi said, poking his finger into Asty\'s belly.
"Get your filthy hand off my divine body, you wretched human." Asty growled at Aadi and almost bit his hand, if Aadi hadn\'t retracted his finger in time.
"Ah, that line again," Aadi just rolled his eyes at Asty and said, "Stop being annoying and tell me what to do. I don\'t want to sleep for eternity like you."
"You haven\'t taken a disciple until now, just take some and then enjoy watching their journey, or you could do what those MCs from those novels you\'ve read from that blue-green planet do." Asty said without opening her eyes.
"So, you\'re telling me to start from the bottom again? But that isn\'t very interesting, and if I do it by cloning, that wouldn\'t be much different than taking a disciple and observing them." Aadi said.
Asty opened her eyes and glanced at Aadi\'s confused expression, remembering something that one of their enemies had said about Aadi when he proclaimed to reach the peak of the world.
"With that shitty IQ of yours, you want to reach the peak? Dream on, boy. Even if I let you go now, you won\'t be able to even reach my level, let alone the peak."
If he found out where Aadi stands today, he would surely crawl out of his grave and complain to the heavens about how unfair it was.
"What have you done to your conscious mind?" Asty asked.
"Oh, you can tell? I\'ve done nothing but just sealed a part of my mindset so I can fully enjoy whatever I do." Aadi replied in an obvious manner, after all, that\'d be too boring if he had the mindset of the most powerful being to exist.
"I see, that\'s why your shitty IQ is coming out in waves." Asty said as if it were a matter of fact.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Aadi asked, utterly confused as to why Asty was insulting his IQ.
Asty stared speechless at Aadi and said, "Forget it. What I meant earlier was to try to live like those Bigshot MCs who live like mortals in a dog-eat-dog world, by opening a restaurant and doing full face slapping."
"But they don\'t know they\'re powerful, but I am and will be the strongest, and I know this fact," Aadi said, full of arrogance. Well, he has the right to be arrogant.
"Meh, minor details, and just get lost. Let me sleep peacefully." Asty just rolled to the other side, and this time she really fell asleep.
Aadi sighed and said, "Well, no harm in trying, and if I see someone interesting, I can even get a disciple."
"Hmm hmm, yosh, let\'s do it!" Aadi shouted and stood up in excitement. Unfortunately, or fortunately, no one was there to share his excitement.
"But what should I do for a living? The restaurant is obviously canceled, \'cause even I don\'t want to eat my food, let alone others\'."
"I can learn it in an instant, but there\'s no fun in that."
"Ahhh, I\'m good at nothing except beating someone up. What should I do?"
Aadi sat down again, dejected. "Should I learn it? Nah, I won\'t break my own rules."
While Aadi was mumbling, an idea came into his mind. "That\'s right, I can just open a bookstore where I\'ll sell all those novels I\'ve read."
"Okay, now that\'s decided. So the other problem is, which world should I go for?"
After thinking for a while, Aadi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who cares? I\'ll just choose randomly."
With that said, Aadi picked up the sleeping Asty and vanished from there. Once again, the Blank Domain became what its name is for - blank.
........
In the vast sea of void, there lay an enormous blue-whitish planet floating.
Suddenly, space fluctuated above the enormous planet, and a young man with a white cat on his shoulder appeared there, looking down at the enormous planet.
"So this world, huh?" Asty stared at the planet and said.
"I thought you\'d continue to sleep, so what happened to eternal sleep?" Aadi asked.
"My sleep is very important, even more than your existence, but how could I miss this adventure? Especially since there is a chance of you taking a disciple." Asty said, clearly excited for their adventure.
"But I detected Divine energy from this world, so this clearly is a Divine world. Are you going to start with this?" Asty asked with a little frown on her face.
"Nah, you see, there are many lower realms under this Divine World. I\'ll just choose one of them and see if there\'s anything interesting. If not, we\'ll go to the Divine World," Aadi said after thinking for a while.
"Oh, fine with me. By the way, what\'s the name of this World?" Asty asked, looking at the planet.
"Wait a minute, let me ask the world itself!" After saying this, Aadi closed his eyes.
After a while, Aadi opened his eyes and said, "It\'s the Azure Divine World."
"Oh!" Asty asked, "What about the lower realm? Which one are we going to?"
Aadi smiled a bit and said, "StarHaven."
