The Lies Behind The World

1 years later

"Looks like our harbor will be in full operation tomorrow, Lord," Sam informed Kaito from outside his door.

Despite remaining in his room, Kaito ensured that all tasks were completed efficiently by delegating them to Sam. He meticulously reviewed the work to ensure the estate ran smoothly.

Only Allisa was allowed to enter Kaito's room, bringing him meals and important files.

Allisa entered and sighed, "How long will you keep this up, my Lord? People might think you haven't moved on from the past."

Kaito asked, "How long has it been, Allisa?"

"It's been one year, Lord," she replied.

"It seems my training and studies are nearly complete. Thanks for reminding me. I'll come out before my birthday."

With that, Allisa left the room. Kaito knew that the last part of his training would finish today. "Dimension Break," he whispered, and a portal to another realm opened before him. He stepped through.

"You're early today, Kaito. It's the last day of our training here," greeted his mentor on the other side.

"Let's have a fight..." Kaito said determinedly.

One years before

Following the burial, Kaito felt utterly powerless and overwhelmed with sadness. He didn't want to speak with anyone and gave up on himself, locking himself away in his room. His eyes, once full of life, were now shadowed with darkness.

Amidst his isolation, a mysterious portal suddenly appeared in the room. A figure emerged from it, yet Kaito felt too lost to care.

"Hi , Kaito," the figure spoke gently. "I am a servant of the Outer God. He wishes to meet you and has a message: Your first love is not fully gone. Her soul can still be saved."

Hearing the news, Kaito's eyes lit up with determination. "If Hwaryn can be saved, I'll do anything. Please, take me to the Outer God," he said.

They stepped into the portal, entering a new dimension. As they walked, Kaito noticed nine gigantic figures surrounding the path. Eventually, they reached a colossal figure, a human-like being with a sword, seated before him.

"Why have you called me here, Outer God? Can you really save Hwaryn?" Kaito asked urgently.

The Outer God replied, "Yes, that's why I summoned you. Remember how you came here when you were forced to reincarnate by Sylvian?"

Kaito felt a surge of anger at the mention of Sylvian's name. The Outer God noticed the change in his expression. "Don't worry, I'm not on her side."

The Outer God continued, "I can still save her soul, but she will lose her memories. You can't stay near her until she starts to remember. Do you recall that child, Angela? That was supposed to be her true body. Hwaryn was meant to reincarnate into that child , but Sylvian used her power to play with your lives and make her suffer."

The Outer God explained further, "This world is divided into nine continents. Most are under Sylvian's control, with six following her willingly. Only my continent and my servant's remain free from her grasp, thanks to you. Sylvian can't control humans from other worlds directly, but she manipulates and grants them power using the seven Outer Gods. It seems she has a particular interest in you, though I don't know the reason why."

The Outer God began to explain, "The Seven Outer Gods are ancient beings of immense power that exist beyond the understanding of most mortals. Each one of us governs over a unique domain, and our powers can influence both the physical and metaphysical aspects of this world.

Here's a brief overview for reader :

1. God of Time : Controls the flow and manipulation of time. This god can alter past events, influence the present, or foresee the future.

2. God of Balance : This god ensures equilibrium between opposing forces, such as good and evil. They might intervene to maintain harmony or prevent extremes.

3. God of Knowledge : Possesses infinite wisdom and insights. This god can grant or withhold knowledge, guiding or misleading those who seek answers.

4. God of Life : Presides over birth, growth, and the essence of life. This deity can foster creation or bring decay.

5. God of Death : Ruler of the afterlife and the passage to it. This god determines the cycle of life and death and can command the spirits.

6. God of Elements : Command over natural forces like fire, water, earth, and air. This god influences weather, landscapes, and elemental balance.

7. Sylvian, God of Chaos : Embodies change, creation, and destruction. This god brings unpredictability and can disrupt or catalyze new beginnings.

Sylvian uses these six to manipulate and grant power to humans, exploiting their unique abilities for her purposes. She plays a dangerous game, one where even the gods must tread carefully."

"That was Outer God behind Sylvian , each with unique powers. To maintain balance, we forge our own path: I, the God of War ( kainx ) , alongside my servant, the God of Space ( daoix ) ."

"We have called you here to help us defeat the God of Time. I will grant you power, buy only you can save this world and the continent you stand on," Kainx explained.

Kaito questioned, "How can I defeat a god? Their power is beyond logic."

Kainx reassured him, "Don't worry about that. You've been gifted with the skills of creation and destruction by the highest almighty god. Remember that old woman?"

"We will train you until you're ready to face the outer god. Trust us and save your people and the world," Kainx urged calmly, knowing the weight of the task ahead.

Kaito said confidently, "I will take on the task, but I want to do it alone. This is my own revenge."

Kainx, the wise and powerful god, replied, "Alright, but please accept my gift of sword mastery . Come here every day and stay on your room. Don't leave until you are strong enough to face another god."

He assured Kaito, "My servants will take care of you while you train. No one will bother you for years."

Kaito understood the path ahead—training alone for revenge, yet growing stronger with divine help. He nodded, ready to begin his journey.

Present time

God kainx grinned, "Are you ready, Kaito? If you lose, it'll be your 364th defeat in our sparring sessions."

With determination, Kaito charged at him , sword in hand. Kainx tried to withstand the force of Kaito's attack, but it felt heavy, forcing him to stagger backward.

"Hey, old man, looks like you're getting weak," Kaito teased.

Kainx chuckled, "Should we go all in?"

The fight intensified, marking the first time Kainx fought seriously. Even with him having the upper hand, the battle was fierce.

Kaito found himself falling behind, but he stood up, gathering his energy. "This is my last attack . Get ready!"

Kainx unleashed his own aura in response. The final clash was earth-shattering, releasing an explosion capable of destroying the world. In the end, Kaito lay on the ground, exhausted.

Kainx, also battered and bruised, laughed, "It seems you really can hurt me." He glanced at Daoix, who was calmly sipping tea, and nodded in acknowledgment.

The two Outer God approached Kaito, saying, "Your training is complete. Go explore the world. With your power, you are now strong enough to fight gods."

Kaito smiled before suddenly fainting.

Shortly after, Allisa entered the room and, startled, tried to wake him up.

"Lord, today is your birthday. Please wake up," Allisa urged gently.

Kaito stirred, awakening from the bed. He walked over to the window and pulled open the curtains, flooding the room with the warm light of morning.

"It's a refreshing morning," he remarked, smiling at the sunlight pouring in.

Allisa blushed slightly, looking away. "Young lord, please wear something. I can see something that might hurt my eyes!"

Looking down, Kaito realized his clothes were in ashes from his battle with the outer god. "Ah, I'd forgotten about that," he chuckled. "But why are you shy, Allisa? It's just me."

Allisa rolled her eyes, handing him a robe, "Modesty still matters, even on your birthday."

Kaito chuckled as he put on the robe Allisa handed him. "Thanks, Allisa. Any plans for today?"

Allisa, still slightly flustered, collected herself and replied, "Well, young lord, we have prepared a small celebration for your birthday. Your friend and family are coming to visit, and there will be food ."

Kaito looked in the mirror, feeling a bit nervous. He knew everyone was waiting for him downstairs.

Allisa stood at the door with a smile. "Ready to join the party?" she asked kindly.

Kaito nodded, trying to shake off his nerves. "Yes, I'll be there soon."

Kaito went downstairs and saw all his family and friends gathered. It had been a long time since he last met them.

"Hello, guys. I'm sorry for not seeing you all for so long. I'm really sorry," he said, bowing.

Liora spoke up, "Master, I've missed you! Sofea and Naoko always tease me."

Everyone laughed together.

Kaito looked at Sam and Sofea and said, "Thanks for taking care of the estate while I've been absent."

"It's okay," Sam replied. "We will always support you," Sofea added reassuringly.

Kaito felt a warmth spread through him at their words. It was comforting to know he had such reliable friends around him.
