Hell.
This was the first thing he remembered.
Spreading fires, a cursed hell destroying everything, people screaming for help.
But despite all of this, he kept walking, hearing cries and curses for help, but he kept walking.
To survive, he decided not to hold onto anything, he threw everything into that cursed fire.
He threw his sadness.
His happiness.
His anger.
His hatred.
His despair.
His feelings.
His memories.
...His hope.
In the end, there was nothing left.
Nothing remained, but for some reason, he could not let go.
In the end, he died, surrendering to his fate.
A child with red hair and golden eyes looked up at the sky, his eyes dull and devoid of any emotion.
"I'm going to die," he thought, with his eyes empty .
The child closed his eyes, this was his end, despite losing everything, he still reached out his hands as if someone would hear his prayer.
The child did not understand why he did that, was it his desperation for survival? No, he had abandoned that. Was it his hope then? No, he had abandoned that too.
He was an empty shell of what he used to be, in the end, he was going to die.
The boy's hand fell slowly, but suddenly it was caught by an adult's hand.
The child looked up to see a man with black hair and empty black eyes.
Despite that, the man looked at him with a smile full of happiness and joy, as if his mere presence saved him.
"You're alive! You're alive... thank you so much." The man cried, repeating these words.
The child looked at him and thought, "Can I smile like that too?" Then he passed out.
The last thing the child saw was a golden light and a comfortable feeling for the first time.
#######
Gaia felt an anomaly on 'her' domain.
The sensation was unpleasant and disturbing.
After all, Gaia was an extension of the Earth itself.
Some have called her the Mother of Life, the Goddess of the Earth, the Primordial One.
However, 'she' didn't care about any of this.
'her' job was simple, to eliminate everything that threatened the Earth.
That's why 'she' hated humans, humans were destroying everything in her land, they were polluting her air, they were burning her forest.
That's why 'she' unleash a natural disasters and provoked them to reduce their numbers, but it didn't work, the humans had something that other races didn't have, the ability to learn from mistakes and prepare for the worst and not to forget the worst ability of them is to adapt.
They have built things that help them fight nature.
In the end 'she' decided to create beasts from her power to destroy them, 'she' called them Primal Beasts, Beasts of the End to bring an end to humanity.
However, 'she' did not expect that an entity as powerful as her would step in and save them, the collective consciousness of humanity, Alaya.
She hated her, after facing each other for thousands of years, both of them developed some awareness and hated each other.
Gaia hated Alaya and all her pathetic dogs, the counter-guardiens, people sent by Alaya to clean up anything that would end humanity, even humanity themselves.
Gaia decided to look at this anomaly which causes a huge distortion in reality and in its scope.
'She' sent 'her' consciousness to the place where it became a battleground for magus and heroic spirits, Fuyuki.
Gaia did not like what 'she' saw. It was hell. It was a fire spreading at a rapid rate. Although she was pleased to see the suffering of mankind, she did not like the spread of this fire. If it spread, it would cause the destruction of a vast area and cause enormous damage on her domain.
'she' Decided to contain the flames in one place to avoid it spreading , 'she' didn't care about other humans , as long as it didn't cause damage to 'her' domain they could burn in hell.
Gaia hated human magus and their greed to start a war that could cause the destruction of this planet.
And 'she' hated that bloody vampire who invented this cup.
'She' wanted to destroy the cup, but the rules imposed on her did not allow 'her' to do so.
In another timeline, Gaia would have limited the damage and turned 'her' attention to something else.
But in this timeline 'she' decided to look around this battlefield.
Then 'she' found something, it was a child walking in this hell, it was surprise that a child was still alive, but when 'she' saw his fall, 'she' knew that there was not much left for his death.
Gaia didn't bother about this, but for some reason 'she' was curious and decided to check up on the the child.
First 'she' examined the child's body, she didn't understand why 'she' was doing that, but years of fighting, repairing, destroying, and watching humanity seemed to make 'her' feel bored.
As 'she' expected the child was close to his end, to keep him alive required a miracle, but miracles became extinct after the age of the gods.
In the end there were only a few items left that could heal this child, his bones were broken in many places, his damaged by smoke inhalation and his entire body was covered in the curse of the corrupted grail.
It was truly a miracle that he survived.
In the end, 'she' decided to search on his soul, but what 'she' discovered made her shake a little bit. The child had 27 magic circles of average quality, higher than ordinary magicians but still average, but what shocked her was not this. His soul was empty, there was no evil or good, it was like a baby's soul. A newborn is not born until after a few seconds.
This was amazing, 'she' didn't expect this cursed fire to purify a person to the point that their very existence would be erased and changed.
Gaia decided to touch the child's soul with her consciousness, but suddenly she felt a part of her consciousness being absorbed so she decided to quickly withdraw her consciousness.
This surprised 'her', his soul seemed like a sponge absorbing anything to fill it up, but this was impossible. She knew that a human soul could not accept 'her' power since Alaya considered it an enemy.
Gaia examined the soul again to make sure of something. When she finished, her theory was confirmed. The child's soul was rejecting its existence as a human being. His soul was not fully formed because of the fire, but she could tell that the soul refused to found himself as a human.
For the first time, the Mother of Life felt the urge to laugh out loud and mock Alaya, and for the the first time Gaia was planning to support a human being for the first time in millions of years.
The child had already absorbed part of 'her' consciousness so 'she' could easily observe him.
Gaia was thinking about what to give the child to help 'her', her thoughts were interrupted when the child raised his hand, Gaia forgot his injury and for the first time 'she' panicked, this child was the key to help 'her' out in the future but he is close to death right now , 'she' must do something to help him before he di_.
Her thoughts were interrupted again when a large hand grabbed the child and carried him. 'She' 'looked' and found a man crying while helping the child. She did not care about him but the thoughts of the child before he lost consciousness.
'I want to smile like him.'
it was a surprise that the child still had consciousness, but suddenly 'she' felt a familiar feeling entering the boy's body.
'She' 'looked' at his body to find that the man had inserted something into his body that 'she' did not expect to see again.
Avalon.
A scabbard owned by the King of the Knights, Arthur Pendragon, or rather, Arturia Pendragon, it was made by the Fairy of the Lake and the Fae themselves to become the perfect scabbard and ultimate defense for its bearer. It was blessed by Gaia herself when the fae asked 'her' to do that. 'She' was not happy when it ended in the hands of a human, but decided to turn a blind eye for lady of the lake.
'She' did not expect that this sheath would be useful today, the sheath settled inside him, it seems that he sensed 'her' presence, the sheath happily sent his greetings, then she began to heal the child.
'She' really couldn't hate the scabbard, even after years 'she' could feel that the innocence of her consciousness (the sheath) was still there.
At last 'she' watched the man carry the child somewhere. The child seemed to still be alive, though 'she' sensed a strange shift in his soul.
'She' used the part of 'her' consciousness that was absorbed to find out what was going on, when 'she' found Avalon attaching herself to the child, 'she' seemed to like him and decided to stay with him? But strangely enough, Avalon looks like a disgusted as she looks at something.
Then, suddenly, Avalon used her blessing and wrote over the elemental and soul origin.
It was a sudden event that it was so fast that her consciousness temporarily froze.
The child's soul suddenly transformed so that it expanded greatly, 'she' was speechless as the child's soul transformed into an entire reality.
'she' didn't expect the kid to have the potential to develop this thing.
This was a reality marble in the making. When this thing is complete, it will be able to drop this world into 'her' domain and reject all of 'her' laws. 'She' was speechless. 'She' was 'trembling'. Then 'she' 'laughed'. 'She' 'laughed' with pleasure. 'She' didn't expect to win a double prize, no but a triple. She could feel that the soul of The child was no longer a human but a sword. Avalon seemed to alter the elemental and origin of the child to suit her need. Avalon stood and seemed to be proud as she express that by glowing as if asking 'her' to praise her work.
As a thanks, Gaia decides to upgrade the scabbard's rank from EX to EX+.
Avalon's healing and defense increased by a large amount in instant . Avalon glow with pleasure.
Gaia decided to now look for a way to make her new 'beast' stronger.
Despite Gaia hating all of humanity except for one who quickly became her favourite, 'she' knew that humans come up with genius ideas.
So 'she' decided to quickly search for a way, and 'she' found it.
Humans seem to have made a little box and create characters that fit their needs and control them, it seems that these characters have a strange system that grants quests and experience? And quickly raises the strength of the character.
Gaia decided to use 'her' powers to fully search for these 'games'.
After she gathered all the information, 'she' smiled, a brilliant idea occurred to 'her', perhaps this ability might benefit him.
'she' may break some of her rules but that's okay, sometimes sacrifice is necessary.
Using 'her' power she formed strange numbers full of zeros and ones into a ball, eventually she decided to combine them with the part of her consciousness that resided in the child's soul and settled into it and the unfinished Reality Marble, to which 'she' bonded it .
Gaia finished 'her' job, so 'she' decided to leave the rest to 'her' consciousness, after years she will see the results of 'her' experiment.
Yes, that would be interesting. Gaia thought and then decided to return to 'her' domain.
