New Revelations
In the quiet village of Veridian Haven, nestled among rolling hills and lush forests, Kaito's life had taken a remarkable turn. Days filled with exploration and study had become his norm, and the village library, with its ancient scrolls and dusty tomes, was his sanctuary.
One fateful afternoon, curiosity led him to a dusty corner of the library where a peculiar parchment lay hidden. Its presence seemed almost deliberate, and Kaito couldn't resist its enigmatic allure. It was unlike any other parchment he had ever seen, adorned with intricate symbols that glowed with a soft, ethereal light.
As he unfurled it, the parchment revealed a tale that sent shivers down his spine. It was a story that echoed the very memories that had been etched into his mind. The narrative spoke of a being beyond comprehension, a cosmic artist wielding a sword to craft the universe itself. The creation of the Celestial Bodies and the birth of humanity were detailed with breathtaking elegance.
But it wasn't merely words on parchment. As Kaito read, the symbols came to life, their luminous tendrils crawling up his hands and arms, their warm glow enveloping him like a cocoon. It was as though the parchment was awakening a dormant power within him.
A torrent of knowledge surged into his consciousness, overwhelming in its intensity. It was as if the essence of the universe was being poured into his very being, filling him with boundless wisdom and power. Pain seared through his mind, a searing agony that threatened to tear him apart.
Kaito clutched his head, the world spinning around him, the boundaries of reality blurring. It felt as though his existence was being rewritten, his understanding of the cosmos shattered and reassembled in a chaotic dance of revelation.
Just when he thought he could endure no more, darkness swallowed him whole, and he lost consciousness.

Kaito awoke in his room to the sound of a gentle voice calling his name. It was a voice that held a melody of concern, a voice that belonged to his younger brother, Taro.
Groaning and blinking away the remnants of his disorienting slumber, Kaito found himself bathed in the warm, comforting light of candle flames. The shadows they cast danced gracefully on the walls, a soothing contrast to the tempestuous sea of knowledge he had just traversed.
"Kaito, it's time for dinner," Taro's voice chimed in once more, accompanied by a soft tug on Kaito's sleeve. His younger brother stood beside the bed, round eyes filled with genuine worry.
"Kaito, are you okay?" Taro asked, his concern palpable.
Kaito slowly sat up, still feeling the echoes of the overwhelming experience. He managed a weak but reassuring smile. "Yeah, Taro, I'm fine. Just had a bit of a headache, that's all."
Taro's expression brightened as he accepted Kaito's explanation. "Okay, but don't take too long. Mom and Dad are waiting."
As Taro left the room, Kaito couldn't help but reflect on the surreal events of the day. The parchment's revelations had left an indelible mark on his consciousness, reshaping his understanding of the world in profound ways. It was both a gift and a burden, a responsibility he couldn't ignore.
Downstairs, Kaito joined his family for dinner, the cozy atmosphere of their home offering a sense of stability amid the chaos of his newfound knowledge. Yet, his thoughts kept returning to the cultivation technique he had discovered—the "Absolute Beginning Scripture." Its name resonated with the very essence of creation itself, and Kaito knew it held the key to unlocking his newfound potential.
As he sat at the dinner table with his family, he made a silent vow to embrace this extraordinary journey, to honor the knowledge that had been entrusted to him, and to uncover the profound truths that lay hidden in the fabric of existence.
Little did Kaito know that his destiny had been irrevocably altered, and the pages of his own creation story were waiting to be written in this fantastical realm, where the boundaries of reality and imagination blurred into one.
...
The dinner table was a warm, inviting space, bathed in the soft glow of candlelight. Kaito sat with his family—his parents, Aiko and Hiroshi, and his younger brother, Taro. The aroma of a home-cooked meal filled the air, and the sound of cheerful conversation echoed through the room.
Aiko, Kaito's mother, placed a plate of steaming rice in front of him, her eyes filled with maternal concern. "Are you feeling better, Kaito? You seemed a bit out of sorts earlier."
Kaito nodded, offering a reassuring smile. "Yes, Mom, I'm much better now. Just a minor headache, nothing to worry about."
Hiroshi, his father, chimed in, his eyes twinkling with curiosity. "You've been spending a lot of time in that library, son. Any exciting discoveries today?"
Kaito hesitated for a moment, considering how to broach the subject of the parchment and the overwhelming knowledge it had bestowed upon him. "Well, Dad, I did come across something quite unusual in the library today."
Taro, his ever-curious younger brother, perked up. "Unusual? What was it, Kaito?"
Kaito recounted the discovery of the parchment and its uncanny resemblance to the cosmic tale he had unearthed in his memories. His family listened with rapt attention, their expressions a mix of fascination and intrigue.
Aiko set down her chopsticks, her gaze fixed on Kaito. "It sounds like quite the find, dear. Do you think it has any significance?"
Kaito nodded thoughtfully. "I believe it does, Mom. The knowledge on that parchment—it's like nothing I've ever encountered before. It feels... important."
He hadn't told them about the cultivation technique, after all, this was his "Golden Finger" in this World. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but he didn't even know how to bring it up in the first place.
As dinner continued, the family engaged in lighthearted conversation, their worries momentarily set aside. Kaito, however, couldn't shake the sense of purpose that had taken root within him.
After the meal, as his family cleared the table, Kaito retreated to his room. He settled into a comfortable seated position on the floor, closing his eyes and focusing on his breath. With each inhale and exhale, he entered a meditative state, his consciousness shifting inward.
In this meditative state, Kaito delved into the depths of the "Absolute Beginning Scripture," the cultivation technique etched into his memory by the parchment's revelations.
**The Absolute Beginning Scripture**
This ancient cultivation technique was a profound and esoteric path that tapped into the very essence of creation itself. It was a technique that allowed practitioners to harness the fundamental energies of the universe and channel them into their own being.
**Effects and Benefits:**
1. **Energy Manipulation:** Users of the Absolute Beginning Scripture could manipulate the cosmic energies around them, granting them heightened control over their surroundings.
2. **Enhanced Physical Abilities:** The technique enhanced physical strength, speed, and endurance, allowing him to perform feats beyond the capabilities of their Realms.
3. **Healing:** It possessed the power to accelerate the body's natural healing abilities, allowing him to recover from injuries at an astonishing rate.
However with all Good things came it's limitations to him.
1. Strength Requirement: To fully unlock the potential of the Absolute Beginning Scripture, one needed a substantial amount of physical and spiritual strength. For Kaito, who had recently inhabited the body of a child, this presented a significant limitation.
His spiritual strength was good, if the merger of two souls was anything to go on, but as for the Physical aspect...
The previous Kaito has been a 'Neet' of sorts. He had always been invested into his reading, thereby neglecting his body to a great deal.
2. Mental Focus: Mastery of the technique required intense mental focus and concentration. Any lapse in concentration could lead to unintended consequences.
As Kaito delved deeper into the technique, he began to grasp its fundamental principles. However, he could feel the limitations imposed by his current physical state. The immense energy required for the Absolute Beginning Scripture remained beyond his reach.
With a sigh, Kaito withdrew from his meditative state, realizing that he had much work ahead of him. He couldn't ignore the call of whatever brought him to this world, nor the responsibility of the knowledge he now held.
If this was a cultivation world, people would die to get the technique he has just gotten. Without being told, he knew this was all the work of a higher existence.
He wasn't so lucky or special in his previous life, neither did he do a remarkable deed to warrant being treated specially.
He also knew that whoever out him up for this could also put another in his place should he die.
...
Weeks passed, and due to his consistent studying of the technique, Kaito's understanding of the world deepened. He sensed the subtle rhythms of nature, the ebb and flow of energy that pulsed through the world. But mastering the "Absolute Beginning Scripture" demanded more than understanding; it required an attunement to its intricate mechanics.
In his room, he delved into the scripture's teachings, meticulously studying diagrams depicting the flow of energy within the body. It was a complex web of channels and nodes, a system that demanded precise control.
A humans body was made up of 7 celestial meridian, 8 major meridian and 49 Auxiliary Meridians.
The seven meridians were the ones every cultivator strived to open before they could introduce chakra into their body
The eight major meridian were the Gates blocking the Eight major Organs of the Body. It also limited the body's strength.
The Forty-nine Auxiliary Meridians were the pathways Chakra flowed through in the body to create or perform certain techniques.
This was the Common knowledge... However, as he studied the Absolute Beginning Scripture, he found that the Human body had an extra 312 meridians, making it a grand total of 361 meridian.
(A/N: We're talking Auxiliary Meridians.)
The Celestial Meridians existed to Control the Soul and Spiritual Energy.
The Major Meridian existed to Control as well as limit the Physical aspect of the Body.
The 361 auxiliary meridian existed to do just as their names implied. To help the Celestial and Major Meridian perform any technique.
This 361 meridians denoted by the ABS(Absolute Beginning Scripture) would give it's wielder the ability to use all Elements.
This was something Kaito found interesting as in this Village alone, it was already rare to see someone with an element, not to mention all six
The six Elements were: Water, Fire, Air, Earth, Lightning, and Yin-Yang.
According to the scripture, due to him being a Male, he could only have the five as well as the Yang. Yin was exclusive to females.
This was where the extra one meridian in the 361 came into play.
To Kaito's knowledge, 49 was the limit he had found in the books of the library in the village. He surmised that it must be due to the older generation who thought the limit was 49.
However, the scripture let him understand that should one open a total of sixty meridians, they would be a genius amongst geniuses.
The reason being that they would be able to use their Elements to its peak.
...
One evening, as the moon bathed his room in silvery light, Kaito attempted to practice what he had learned. He sat amidst candles that cast dim illumination, the scripture spread before him, filled with esoteric symbols.
Closing his eyes, he concentrated on his body, visualizing the energy pathways described in the scripture. He began to circulate his own chakra, though it was a mere ember compared to the cosmic energies he sought.
With trembling hands, Kaito extended his fingers, palms up, imagining gathering the surrounding energies like a gentle breeze. He visualized these energies converging within him, focusing on the intricate patterns detailed in the scripture. It was as if he was trying to coax a flame into existence from a small spark.
Hours passed in this meditative state, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he wrestled with the Chakra Energy.
He was a child, his chakra reserves limited, and the task he had undertaken was monumental. The scripture demanded that he give up all his gathered energy and start anew, a requirement that weighed heavily on him.
As Kaito continued to channel the energies, he could feel a profound shift within himself. It was as if his very essence was undergoing a transformation, aligning with the principles of the "Absolute Beginning Scripture." He could sense the boundaries of his physical form becoming porous, allowing him to glimpse the vastness of the universe beyond.
But as the energies surged through him, a searing pain began to build within his body. It started as a faint ache, then intensified into a burning agony that threatened to overwhelm him. He clenched his teeth, tears streaming down his face as he fought to maintain control.
It was a test of endurance, a battle of willpower against the excruciating pain. Kaito's vision blurred, and he felt as if he might lose consciousness once more. But he was determined to press on, to push his limits and unlock the secrets of the scripture.
Just as the pain reached its zenith, when he thought he could endure no more, darkness once again claimed him, and he descended into unconsciousness.

When Kaito awoke, he found himself lying on the floor of his room, bathed in the soft light of dawn. The pain that had tormented him moments ago had vanished, leaving behind a sense of lightness and clarity he had never experienced before.
Slowly, he pushed himself up and sat cross-legged on the floor. It was then that he realized something remarkable. His chakra, once meager and limited, now felt boundless, as if a reservoir of energy had been unlocked within him. He could sense its flow, its vibrant pulse, like a river of light coursing through his being.
Kaito marveled at the transformation that had taken place. It was as if the "Absolute Beginning Scripture" had not only granted him access to the Chakra energies but had also expanded his capacity to wield them.
This was just the first level of Chakra opening and yet, he felt like he could beat someone at the fifth level he once was.
With newfound determination, he understood that his journey had only just begun. He was ready to delve deeper into the scripture's teachings, to explore the extent of his newfound powers, and to unravel the mysteries of the World.
As he looked out of his window at the rising sun, Kaito couldn't help but feel a profound sense of purpose. His dreams of being someone capable of creation and destruction no longer a dream, but a possibility.
