What path will you take?

In the main hall of the castle that housed the frost clan, Timeless was seated on the other end of a large square table that looked like it was too big to be used for anything related to food. Waiting patiently for the arrival of the Frost clan leader while still being bound and surrounded by guards growing ever impatient but he didn't have to wait long as a man In starlight armor walked in "exuding the same icy aura he was all too familiar with" and sat down at the other end of the table.

"Do you know why you're in front of me at the moment and not killed the moment you were spotted?" the frost clan leader asked with a smile on his face.

Timeless seeing that he wasn't going to be killed anytime soon calmed down before saying, " I'm sorry but I cannot even begin to fathom why I am here at the moment, permit me to ask what a lowly mortal such as myself could have done to possibly deserve death? "

The frost clan leader still having a smile on his face felt the boy was incredibly calm even when facing such an unstoppable force at the moment so he said; " because you are weak and as such have no right over your life, if I say you die then you die, is that reason good enough for you?".

"Because I am weak?" Timeless mumbled to himself while feeling extremely perplexed by the situation. he just couldn't understand what is going on through the Frost clan leader's head at the moment but he knew there was a reason he was saying so much seeing as he was still breathing.

Since there was nothing to lose at the moment he decided to ask what was on his mind and said; "Esteemed leader, I am weak that I know, but everyone that comes into this domain starts from somewhere, my journey had just begun and if I may sir, can you tell me what exactly I have done for me to be here at this moment?".

He asked because he still didn't believe he was brought in here without a reason, there has to be a reason whatever the case may be he was intent to find out.

The Frost clan leader's eyes lit up after hearing this as he found the youth to be more intriguing by the minute, he wasn't begging for his life even after hearing there was a chance to be killed, he still talks normally and tries to discern the real reason for being here.

Frost clan leader signaled for the guards to unbind Timeless and leave the hall, which they did and after they were alone in the hall he said;" walk with me Timeless", while moving to the balcony.

Timeless found the man to be very interesting and still wanting to know why he was here he could only follow, where else can he go, there was no escape anyways.

After reaching the balcony of the castle the Frost clan leader said: "the reason you're here Timeless is because you touched someone with more power than you and since you don't have the power to protect yourself against such people you can only die". you should know this, strength is all that matters here but I find the entire story I was told to be made up, if my years of being a leader of the Frost clan in the first domain I'm not able to discern certain things then am not even worthy of my position.

Timeless realizing the reason he was here from the little hint he got from the frost clan leader finally understood, the youth that tried to rob him earlier seems to be the cause of his current predicament. Anger immediately spread across his face at the moment.

"Esteemed leader I assume you're talking to me now because there is a way out of this?" Timeless asked while clenching his fist.

"Indeed I could spare your life," the frost clan leader said still having the same smile on his face. Timeless do you know how the 4 leaders came to power? he asked while staring at the youth beside him.

Timeless hurriedly said; during the past 300 years since the ancestors came to this domain on their path to evolution they fought constantly for years growing stronger while encountering immense loss all the same but 4 people suddenly rose among the masses with strange powers, with such immense powers they conquered the Takhiri castle and paved the way to the safety zone known as the Sanctuary these four would later fight together with the humans still willing to come back to this domain and conquered each of the remaining castles each taking a castle for themselves after conquering the four castle. This castle came into the hands of the Frost clan, while the Tukun, Orochi, and storm castles each got a respective owner. These four also established the hierarchy in the sanctuary and are in charge of the whole federation. while also giving rise to the 5th power known as the military at that point to establish and order both the sanctuary and God's domain alive. they are the law enforcers and for 300 years this has been the system in place.

After listening to Timeless speech he nodded and said: "you're right about some things but wrong about a certain aspect, there were 5 people with the elemental powers, and do you know what is after the general rank?"

"Yes sir, the epic rank" Timeless hurriedly said but was stunned at the emergence of another leader that wasn't in the history books but still he wondered where this was leading to.

The frost clan leader was expecting more but seeing as Timeless wasn't speaking further he sighed before saying; "Think of the first domain as a whole as still the mortal stage because no matter how high you get even if you're top of the general rank you are still mortal". the epic rank is breaking away from the shackles of mortality and stepping into the transcendent stage, this is where the real path begins. the powers those in the second domain hold are unimaginable to the point they might become a threat to the whole system in place, a threat looms closer but for now, they aren't strong enough to topple the current system but soon they will wreak havoc, the group known as "Blackout".

"Now Timeless two paths lay before you, join my clan and enjoy the immense benefit that comes with it being spared no effort in training you to the peak of the first domain or I could let you off but with a promise from you to help out 3 times whenever called upon" now decide said the Frost clan leader.
