'Boom'

'Clang clang'

"For the Queen!"

"To the death!"

"Let us serve the Righteous Emperor and avenge the Gentle Goddess and the Astra Emperor until the end!"

"Hurrah!"

Swords, arrows, cheer of soldiers, and blood rang across the battlefield.

The sun is blaring heat on the land while the sky's shade of red shone on the battlefield. Lands drenched with blood and corpses were scattered across them.

In front of the battlefield is a strong and sturdy man wearing a long cape that has the symbol of a fiery sun, riding a white horse dyed red with blood. 

Drenched in blood, he looked like the Grim Reaper slashing every enemy he saw. Although before the war, he emits an aura of a righteous and benevolent ruler, his murderous aura is the most prominent aura that he gives off right this second. 

He is Bain Flare, The Righteous Emperor of The Burning Sun Empire. 

Bain Flare, the First Emperor and Founder of The Burning Sun Empire, is in the front lines fighting for his friend who is also the Founding Emperor of the Myriad Star Empire, Zhang Xianye and the late Queen and his little sister, Jian Flare who was maltreated and then assassinated while on a journey towards the neighboring empire and also their ally, Myriad Stars Empire by the enemy assassins of another empire that controls the East, The Empire of Long. 

Because of that, Bain, together with his million strong army, demolished the Tablet of Jeira, where the Jeiran Treaty was signed that says that for the safety of the Central Region against the occuring demonic assault that time, they must not fight each other to maintain balance, harmony, and peace for the other neighboring empires, kingdoms, sects, cities, and every piece of land that holds life for the human race. 

After destroying the tablet, they declared war against The Empire of Long. But because of the Burning Sun Empire destroying the tablet, The Flourishing Lotus Empire, with the help of the kingdoms, sects, cities and villages under the command of the two empires joined forces with Empire of Long to resist the frontal attacks of the opposite side. 

These events sparked the historical war called 'Jian Central War' that lasted for tens of thousands of years being led by Bain against Long Xiantian, son of the founder of the Empire of Long. 

Many suffered from both sides, blood flowed like a ravaging river throughout the Central Lands. The empires stagnated, many people were drenched in blood. 

Bain, riding his horse while penetrating the enemy lines, hacked and slashed every enemy that blocked his path. He destroyed the enemy lines together with a man wearing a deep, starry armor that gives off unfathomable aura like the celestial stars in the sky while wielding his halberd who shines with celestial light. He is Zhang Tianye, the second emperor of the Myriad Stars Empire.

He is the son of Zhang Xianye and Jian Flare. Xianye and Jian's adventure on the road towards the Central Lands was eventful, and later on fell in love with each other. With the approval of Bain, they married each other and lived a hundred years of happiness and love. 

Five years after their marriage, Tianye was born. He became a loyal subject, a benevolent ruler of his ruled land, and a awe-inspiring general who swept the lands with his might.

Alas, the game of fate is really fickle. Jian, that lovable, gentle, and kind woman and Xianye, a wise and benevolent emperor was assassinated.

Zhang Tianye after knowing that was enraged so much that he, together with Bain, declared war against Long and anyone who stands in their way of vengeance.

Zhang Tianye decapitated anyone who tried to get close to Bain. He was like an Asura who bathed the nine worlds in blood and any enemy he saw is already dead before being dead.

The two Emperor's men looked at them with awe. 

"Ravage the enemies and fight to the end!"

"To the end!"

"To His Majesty!"

"To the Emperor!"

Hundreds of millions of men slaughtered the enemy empires' soldiers just to get to their emperors.

The slaughter lasted for days until they reached the enemy kingdom.

At the top of the enemy walls stood a bulk man that's hair fluttered with the wind. He wore an armor with seven dragons forming a circle in its crest. His spear radiates an aura of an intimidating dragon.

The man jumps down with the gates of the walls opening, giving entrance to Bain looked at the man with rage while Tianye glared at the man in front while thinking of him reaping the man into shreds.

""Long Xiantian!""

Bain and Tianye brandished their weapons and charged straight at Long Xiantian. With their cry comes the cry of the millions of men behind them.

With Long Xiantian preparing to fight, a man whose armor was adorned with a blooming lotus at its crest and wielding two swords came with millions of men, behind them stood an army with mixed banners. They, together with the army of the Empire of Long, charged straight to their enemies.

Chaos ensued. The last battle of the Jian Central War began. This battle will be known as one of the bloodiest wars in the history of the World of Idris.

This battle lasted for three days without stop. Until..

"Haa!"

Bain struck the ground with his sword. He shouted at Tianye beside him: "Tianye! Live!"

Bain did some hand seals and pushed Tianye far away from the battlefield. He again did some hand seals and hit the ground with his palm.

"Boom!"

The Burning Sun and the Myriad Stars army were pushed away from the field where Bain was fighting the two Emperors.

Bain shouted with a mighty rage: "DIE WITH ME!"

The stone attached on the hilt of the sword glowed with blazing light trying to incinerate everything.

""No!""

The two Emperor's knew what would happen and tried to flee. But Bain was one step earlier. He threw two metals each for the two Emperors aimed at their feet.

The two metals gripped onto their feet and slammed them downwards.

"Boom!"

After the metals slammed the emperors on the ground, the stone exploded with blazing heat, annihilating everything around it.

Bain's skin felt as if it was burning. His every part was incinerated into nothingness.

"Farewell."

His surrounding darkens, without anything to see, feel, hear, smell, taste, or sense energy. It seems this place is where his spirit will live on forever. He entered the calming state of mind where his spirit will be practiced and developed. He learned this technique fifty years ago when he was exploring another ruins that seemed to be an ancient dwelling that is considered a powerhouse of ancient times. With this calming state of mind technique, tons of cultivation methods, martial techniques, historical knowledge, and weapon techniques stored inside the ruins were found by him. He memorized everything and brought all the books of methods and techniques to his dwelling place where he will continue reading it. This method continued on every ruins he discovered, granting him the title of 'The Walking Library'. 

He continued doing this in what it feels like forever until…

"Uwaa! Uwaa!"

The sound of a baby crying drilled in his ears. He was puzzled. Existing on the place of nothingness for him made him accustomed to silence and so he was very startled when he heard this.

"How can a baby be existing inside the place of nothingne-"

He was very confused because of the crying baby. Until he felt something or someone was carrying him.

"Miss Solt, It's a boy!" Someone talked.

"Oh thank god!" A weakened voice of a woman said.

"Wait a minute." Bain thought.

He tried to hold something and felt something. He thought it was someone's skin.

He sniffed, trying to smell something.

"I smell blood. If I smell blood, then that means…" he pondered to himself.

He tried to open his eyes, but to no avail. 

"There's only one way this thing can be cleared. If my assumption is correct, then that means…" he thought.

He lifted his right hand, trying to find the other hand. He felt a smooth, wet, hand that soon has been held by a somewhat another giant hand.

"Hello my cute baby." The weakened voice said.

"I'm reincarnated?!"

Fifteen years later…

Bain learned everything about the world he now lives on.

This world is called Aearth. Unlike Idris Continent where he lived before, this world's lands are surrounded by every mass of water like oceans, rivers, seas, lakes, and so on. He learned that right now, he is living in a country named Pantheralia. [Basically Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea]

He also learned that spirit energy in this world is scarce and the energy only exists inside the center of the forests and underground caves where humans are very limited or non-existent. 

So to live a normal life in this world, they invented technologies. He, as an experienced martial artist from the world of Idris Continent, has advanced knowledge about physical training so at the age of five, he trained himself, shocking his Aearthian parents, Margerie Solt and Lanis Solt.

His parents are tall and elegant. Unlike his Idris parents that appear to be weak, clumsy, skinny, and depressed. But the only similarity that both his parents here and in Idris is that they love their son with all their heart, mind, and soul. They will do everything for their son.

"Zian, look at the mirror. You really look like you're a soldier that's going to fight against the Eastern Empire! Hahahaha" his father Lanis chirped. [Eastern Empire is just Imperial Japan of WWII but they conquered more of China, Mongolia, and the bottom right of Russia. Excluding Philippines. Less cruelty, every conquered nation's citizens were made as workers. More of the Japan of this day.]

"Hehe…" Zian said shyly while scratching the back of his head.

His mother Margerie then clapped and said with a happy voice, "Right! Anyways Zian, we are going out for now. We left money inside the drawer. Go and bathe early tomorrow so you can go to school without being late." Margerie points at Zian and poked his nose, "Remember. Without. Being. Late." Margerie emphasized every word.

"Yes mom, I'll go to school early tomorrow morning so I can't be late." he said stubbornly.

"Okay!" His mother chirped happily.

They opened the door going outside of the house. He waved goodbye to his parents until they shut the door.

"Alright. Let's get back to business!" He murmured.

He climbed the stairs up to the second floor directly to a room in front of his bedroom. After entering it, tons of exercising materials were laying on the ground. He then does what he always does for ten years; working out.

The only thing he can do is work out. Because, mysteriously, every knowledge of his about cultivation scriptures and techniques has been erased completely, leaving him with the memories of him training in his past life when he was a kid.

The next morning…

He wakes up laying on the mat where he worked out last night. He stands up, goes to the bathroom and washed himself up. Afterwards, he cooked some breakfast to satiate his hungry stomach.

'Knock knock knock'

Sounds of knocking continued non-stop in front of Zian's house door. He hurriedly ran downstairs , got to the door and opened it, seeing a plump boy that was carrying a bag and wearing a cap. The boy then walked inside of the house towards the plate where Zian's food is placed and picked up the spoon, scooped some rice and meat and swallowed it.

"Yum! You really know how to cook your food Zian!" the boy babbled while chomping the food.

This boy's name is Lexus Heart, his classmate this year in the Academy.  He's a funky, handsome, and a playful one. He loves to play games and even he has beaten Zian on everything in terms of online games. They always go to school with each other because they're neighbours, and because of that, they became friends since Zian was seven years old. 

"Lexus, try not to speak while eating. You always looked like a squirrel munching on acorn while talking." Zian replied.

"Zian, squirrels don't talk, it's-" Lexus babbled while doing sign language.

"Weird. Yes. That's what you look and sound like. Weird. Very Weird. You won't have a chance on Redclover if you still act like that." He said while turning back to get his things.

"You-"

"Yeah yeah babble and babble until you look like a frog sticking its tongue out to catch insects while talking."

Lexus became silent. He doesn't want to go on babbling anymore. He can't even think of something that can refute Zian. He sat on the chair while finishing his seemingly endless munching. Zian finished packing his things up the same time as Lexus finished munching and gulped the remaining food. He drinks water and stands rubbing his stomach. Zian tapped Lexus' shoulder and signaled;

"Let's go!"

The two got out of the house. Zian locked the house up and walked to the gate to leave Marsh Villa, a middle class villa in the city where Zian and Lexus live. After exiting the gate, they walked to the bus stop while Zian looked at the surroundings. Cars moved everywhere. People were chatting on the street, others sitting in the local coffee shop while drinking beverages, some riding their bikes, and others doing their work like cleaning, maintaining peace, assisting elderly people and many more.

Zian sniffed the air. 

"It smells smokey.." he thought

After a while, a blue bus stopped right in front of them. The bus' doors opened for them.

"I'm surprised once more. I've been experiencing this for years but I am still surprised. This 'bus' never gets old." He thought to himself.

If Lexus knows what Zian is thinking, he would be weirded shitless. 'Damn. What are you, a primate?'

They walked right inside of the bus and the door closed behind them. Inside of the bus, there are thirteen students, and one driver. They walked until the end of the bus and sat at the comfy chair. Zian was always at the window side of the bus so he could see everything that's going on outside. 

Thirty minutes is a long ride for some normal people. But for Zian, this is just like a second to him. Being a person that traversed a world that spans for over hundreds of trillions of miles, he knows the difference of what's long and what's short, and this kind of distances can be traversed using a tiny time for him.

People of cultivation are bound to go against the will of the heavens. They can have long lives that can span up to millions of years, having power a million times more than normal people, travel distances while flying with the never ending winds, and more so, ascend to the heavens themselves. 

After the ride, all of them got off the bus, and walked right into a huge building, with ten floors, and a sigil on the top right side of the building. This building is The Order City Academy. It's majestic size grants it the place of the top third school of the whole Pantheralia. Here, every subject can be discussed, from the advanced Academics, to the basic Manners. They walked towards the gate, greeted Bard the Security Leader of the Academy, and walked towards the Archeological District, where the Archeology students study.

"See you later Zian!"

Lexus walks towards another way while waving to Zian.

Lexus, as a Technology Student, studies at the Technological District. He wanted to create games and consoles for himself. As for Zian, he enrolled in the Archeological District for one thing; to search for traces of Heavenly Martial Arts existence. 

As he studied how lives work in this world, he has seen remnants of basic Heavenly Martial Arts skill from the empires of old in this world, especially the old dynasty of Orienta that persisted against the invasion of the Empire. 

From Wind Riding, to basic sword skills like the 32 stance from his world. So he hypothesized that this world is somehow connected to the Martial Worlds. 

With this in mind, he continued walking forward towards the District where he studies. After some minutes, he arrived at a small version of the school that has a board that has the words 'Archeological District' in bold letters. He entered the gate.

"Oii! Zian-nii!"

He looked at a small girl with a ponytail running towards him. She jumped at Zian in a happy manner.

"Zian-nii, you are almost late for class!" The girl pouted.

"Sorry Nika. The bus got late."

Nika is one of Zian's sisterly friends in school. She is a refugee from Tei, a resistance made from pure Teishin people who opposes the empire from conquering other nations.

Nika looked suspiciously at Zian. She knew he walked slow.

"Anyways, Zian-nii, how are the results on your Martial Arts seeking?" Nika asked.

"Before I answer that, can you please go down now?"

"Ah. Hehe.." Nika goes down from Zian's embrace.

Zian rubbed his chin and answered Nika's question: "Hmm… the progress is slow, but progress is still progress."

Nika looked at Zian while pouting and murmured: "You are saying the same thing for years already."

Zian stroked her hair and said: "Don't be upset Nika. Evidence of the long lost Ancient Martial Arts are very scarce, and even if you found one, it isn't necessarily true. It could be true or a hoax."

"Okay." Nika said dejectedly.

Zian then looked closer at Nika: "Why are you even curious? Don't tell me you are a spy of the Empire?" Zian teased at Nika and walked away.

"Meeh!" Nika shouted.

After all the ruckus, Zian arrived at his Archaeological Classroom. Students are closely inspecting fossils, artifacts, and articles from old ages, looking for clues that might help solve some problems about the lost past.

Zian walked inside the classroom and looked at a boy examining something very closely.

The boy noticed Zian's arrival and called out while waving at him to come: "Hey Zian! Here! I found something!"

Zian looked surprisingly at the boy and ran towards him.

"What did you find out?" Zian yelled.

The boy then pointed at the letters at the article he is inspecting and said with an excited tone: "Here in the fifth line, it is said here that, quote on quote, 'The arts of battle that is refined through thousands of years of practice cannot be created in this world for the energy of our world are sparse and cannot be conveniently consumed just for creating a technique that isn't even assured to be successful. Only the high beings can muster a powerful force that can destroy heaven and earth and will be able to do the impossible."

The boy then looked at Zian and said: "If that is the case and ancient humans can't create such a technique, but they know it exists, then that only means the thing called 'higher being' is from a world where the energy is sufficient to waste energy for creating techniques! That means other worlds where life exists is real! And there is also a possibility that they are more powerful than us! Hah! I discovered something breathtaking!"

Zian laughed: "Of course there are other worlds where life exists, Dylan. We are ignorant if we consider ourselves to be the only life throughout all of the universe."

The boy named Dylan said: "Oh right."

Zian laughed again and looked at the clean article and held the article carefully.

[Ding!]

"What the hell?" Zian said.

[Myriad Worlds System has been acquired.] A male voice said.

"Why?" Dylan asked: "Something wrong?"

"Oh. Nothing." Zian answered.

[Acquiring necessary data…]

[Acquiring complete.]

[User data can be accessed.]

"User data? What's that? What's this system about?" Zian asked.

[Myriad Worlds System is a system accompanying the game Realm Emperors: Online that's going to integrate the real world to myriads of worlds and races, magic and cultivation, kingdoms and empires, Sovereigns and Gods, and many more. Myriad Worlds System is an exclusive system for people who touched certain artifacts that consists of theories regarding other worlds.] The male voice answered.

"W-what?" Zian was dumbfounded. Integrating a world to myriad things outside of their imagination is a very crazy thing. Especially today where once the integration is complete, governments and leading powers might collapse.

[User data is as follows.]

A blue screen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes indicating the following:

You are reincarnated as a normal boy here in this world that is on the verge of never-ending war. The Beta System is here to help you re-establish your powerful domain!

Points: 0 (Points will help you become more powerful.)

Zian was shocked: "I-impossible. This 'system' knows that I am a reincarnation?" 

The male voice answered: [Yes.]

"Wow. I am absolutely shocked." Zian muttered.

"What shocked you Zian?" This time, Dylan, who is beside him, asked confusingly. 

Zian was snapped awake: "Oh nothing, nothing."

How can Zian not be shocked? For fifteen years, he was living an ordinary life, and now, someone, or something told him all about his past life? That's ridiculous!

After a while of silence from him and the system, The system talked again: [Countdown to the official release of Realm Emperor's: Online - 10 days. Within this time, please prepare yourself. The system will give you quests necessary for your growth towards World Sovereignty.]

Zian was stupefied:" Wait hold up. What's with this World Sovereignty? I haven't even started yet."

[With the system, your World Sovereignty will be certain. If you can't even reach that level, then your dumber than dumb, incompetent, and unworthy.] The system unemotionally answered.

'You're the stupid one!' Zian thought.

[Releasing System Quest Day 1: Quest World Teleportation Pad can be used anytime. Please access your inventory if prepared. Time allowed for preparation: two hours.]

"Quest World?"

[A world where you must accomplish Quests within these ten days.]

"Oh."

While Zian and the System are talking, A middle-aged man wearing glasses walks towards the Archaeological Classroom. 

"Good morning Arch Class!"

Arch Class is what the teachers and students call the Archaeological Classroom to shorten the long name. 

"Hi Sir Mono!"

"Hello Professor Mono!"

"Good morning Sir!"

The students responded with different kinds of greetings to Professor Mono.

Professor Mono or Vimono Monoz is the Arch Class' assigned teacher. He specializes with Archaeological findings and Ruins Excavation. He is a part of Archos Organization, an organization that is renowned throughout Aearth due to their professional handling of Historical Ruins and Artifacts.

"Hello everyone. I know you have no time listening to some lectures right now so I sent the lecture files to your Stargate account. I visited here to tell you this. Next week we will embark on a journey to a ruin beneath the sea. Research more!" Professor Mono smiled.

Suddenly, Zian raised his hand up and said: "Professor Mono, I have an issue. I'm afraid I cannot go with the Arch Class to the ruins."
