"Great Emperor, the Skurs already destroyed the second wall!"
His Servant reported the Skurs which is a race of Demons who terrorize their world.
It is been five years since the Skurs arrive to their planet using a dimensional gate which many called Hell's Gate.
"I heard you, Gather the remaining soldiers... Also activate the orb"
Hearing the first words the Servant nodded but the later on, a grim expression comes to his face.
The Servant knows this, all people knows this, activating the orb will greatly win the battle but also have enormous random backfire to them.
"Emperor… are you sure?" He never doubted his Emperor's words, but when it come to the orb, he wanted to make sure of it.
"Yes."
As soon he heard this word. The Servant opened his dimensional bag and grab a small black box and activated it by using his Mana.
As soon his Mana activated the box, all soldiers, people, nobels and even other races, except for the Skurs which they do not even know it heard a strange sound.
"Sound of a horn" this horn is at the top of the castle which is very huge yet camaflouge by the illusions.
Hearing this, many races stopped fighting the Skurs and cast a spell that even the people and other races with no Mana with them can cast but only in special cases like this.
Many, or all races said this is a God's language that it is so powerful and can be cast by everyone.
"It is time..." All races know what the Emperor meant if this mysterious sound been activated.
All of them cast the God's language, "Fuk tis shat, I'm ot" Saying this word, everyone teleported inside of the castle and not a single person is outside except the dead bodies.
Gathering inside the hall, only a hundred thousand left in the world where twenty four billion species, races who joined as allies and friends to defeat the Skurs.
"Everyone hear me!" The Servant who was with the Emperor early on shouted to them.
They looked to the Servant, but not one anger or displeased in their eyes. They know this Servant, even he is only a Servant and they are some have kings or queens in the crowd, they still respect him.
This Servant is only slightly weaker than the Emperor itself and also his trusted not biological brother.
"As you know the horn been activated" everyone nodded.
"Today the Emperor decided to use the orb and it means even the Powers combined, no one can still defeat the Skurs." Said by the Servant as his eyes filled with sadness yet also courage and honor.
In the crowd, no one even smiled or laugh, they know what will happen next.
As soon he said that, the Camouflage horn turned visible, no one saw this horn or even where it come from except the Emperor.
The Emperor named this horn the Sumburgh Foghorn which have rather unique name to it.
The horn then transformed splitting and turning like a beautiful flower.
Opening it, a bright ligh appeared and floats around the flower. After a couple of seconds, the light disappeared and everyone can now see the orb.
Even this orb is not really an orb, The Emperor only called due to its strange style.
This orb shape have a tall cylinder shape which at the top gave a pointy tip, at the bottom is wide. In short is a nuclear bomb...
"People! We will now activate the orb! Prepare all your protections and stay within the castle!" the Servant yelled as the nuclear bomb started to fly up in the sky.
Seeing this, everyone was curious about the orb and wanted to see its power. The guards blocked them to go outside as the Servant look at the orb flying towards the Hell's Gate.
Some Skurs tried to stop it but the orb contains powerful millions of formations and one by one been broken by them easily.
Yet billions takes time, the orb gotten closer to the Hell's Gate and the time it touched it, a blinding light erupted which a sound that even dragons or ancient beings afraid of.
"BOOM!!" A loud roar which even the people inside the castle tremble in fear and some even suffocate or pail.
Yet for the castle's powerful god tier formations, they survived with some slight injuries.
But it is unfortunate for the Skurs which been struck by the orb and many killed and even disappeared without a trace.
After that, a powerful dust of wind that sliced every part of the Skurs to death and even destroyed the surrounding if the castle.
After that a huge mushroom shape dark cloud appeared which contains poison, lightning and dangers which suffocates everyone.
An hour passed by and the cloud slightly weaken.
The people inside the castle cannot yet go outside for seeing through the indestructible glass, wiping the dust in it, they saw no life.
They saw a vast of deserts and not the kingdom, they did not saw the beautiful plains and trees and only a desert.
Life of the planet have disappeared except for them.
"The outside world is now destroyed, it will take time to heal, please go to the underground dome which the Emperor built for this day."
This surprised everyone, once they arrive the underground Dome, they saw beautiful different kinds of Biomes. It is almost similar outside yet much purer and clean.
They even thought that they are outside but saw above them is an artificial sun and moon circling around the enormous Dome.
"I never thought the Emperor already prepared to such extent, I am grateful for him!" Some king spoke and others also agreed, without the Emperor, this world will already been conquered by the Skurs.
"Attention everyone, The Emperor announced that this will our new home until the outside world once again stabilize and create life."
The Servant announced and everyone clapped and cheered for the Emperor and even races who live in lava can see in the map they saw have an artificial made volcano as also to the sea creatures which is on the opposite side which contains vast sea.
As for races who live in the land, they have no problem, for those who lives in the sky, the Dome have it all.
A day passed by, the people still trying to adapt to their new home suddenly saw a huge screen the Dome.
They saw the outside world which is destroyed, sorrows everywhere until they saw the Hell's Gate who tortured them so many years is now destroyed.
But thats not also what surprised them, the video also have inside of the Hell's Gate, they saw a new world filled with life yet the world is covered with sea trash, sky so dark due to the terrifying clouds and seeing the glimpse of the sky can see a huge eye in it which made everyone watching it shiver. Later on they saw billions of Skurs which made them rage.
They also saw building which reach the clouds. It is truly terrifying to see what they are really fighting. But as the camera got closer, they saw Skurs inside the tall building filled with dead bodies.
This people got curious, the camera still went up and only see dead bodies like mountain covering its path.
Many wonder what happened, as the camera reached the top, they saw a huge eyes which earlier stare at the is now bleeding and struggling to survive.
As the camera passed the giant eye, they saw a majestic palace which filled with death. The camera entered and saw Skurs who have clothes that is much more beautiful and realize it is a kind of nobels.
The camera passed them and saw a throne.
The people caused ruckus yet curiousity within them.
"What kind of person can kill Skurs so easily!?" Said by many while watching the video.
They saw a throne which know a king seats there, a Skurs with highly dressed robe and many shining jewelries covered it. They know it is the King.
But as the camera got closer, they noticed the King seems not to be moving and dawn upon them which shock all of them to saw the King of Skurs is also dead. The camera backed away as the King Skurs suddenly been pushed of its seat.
The person who pushed him is the one and only Emperor.
The hundred thousand of people surprised and their jaw dropped to see their Emperor killed all of them. Later on, cheers and tears of happiness emits the entire Dome.
The Servant seeing this is slightly smile yet frowned again for he already know the reason.
"My people" hearing this, many bowed of respect to the Emperor even it is a video.
"As you know, even only a day passed to you in our world, here in the world of Skurs, it has been a thousand years for me..."
The people can't help to get shocked again and felt guilty for they know rhe Emperor fights the Skurs alone everyday and night.
"This recorded video is for all of you to see that the one who terrorize our world do not exist anymore." The Emperor stop for a second the continued, "As I destroy their existence, this world changed and it will also be destroyed due to no one live and the balance already reached its limit."
Silence emits the Dome and only drop of tears can only hear for they know what the Emperor will say.
"As you know, the Hell's Gate, which is only the entrance and exit for me is gone and I can't go back even I wanted to." The Emperor sat to the Skur's throne and continue.
"I am grateful to all of you, Thank you for all those years fighting for everyone you love. The only thing I want for our world is to unite as one and fight as one, you already know fighting each other leads nothing. As for the next Emperor to lead everyone, I will give the seat to my Brother or also all of you know the Servant."
The Servant widen his eyes and tears erupted like a kid. He knows he is just only a Servant who been found nearly dead and have his wings broken, yet he served the Emperor for those years without greed only trust and friendship.
The people hearing this have mixed feeling and not due to a Servant being the next Emperor but knowing their Emperor who saved them is now dead.
"Servant, or should I call you Lucifer Morningstar, I will leave this to you, promise me one thing..."
"This..." The Servant or Lucifer surprised to even know his origin.
"Your father loves you, he doesn't knows it yet" as soon he spoke this words.
The camera quickly leave the area so fast and went outside the planet only seeing it been explode.
In that time, cries and mourns continued as they remembered this day as the sacrifice of the great Emperor Timothy.
.
.
.
Decades passed by, the outside world can now slightly fix and needed some protections to go exploring.
They saw plants growing and the explosions now filled with grass.
The Dome is still perfectly ordered and people enjoyed living together as one without discrimination to each other.
As for Lucifer, the Servant turned Emperor.
He stared at the starry space at night filled with deep emotions.
He has been ruling for decades and only small problems just caused and most if them are the Dome born who born inside the Dome and grew up.
He look at the stars and said, "Great Emperor, I have given you the greatest taboo in all, I hope you ti live to your new life with happiness and all of your hardwork repay with everything." Lucifer spoke this which heard by his father is watching him smiled.
"That boy finally learned" Lucifer's Father secretly also granted the Emperor with a gift that day.
CHAPTER 2: REBORN AGAIN
Emperor Timothy, the greatest and powerful being in the world.
Countless lives been saved, countless enemies turned allies yet... Still single.
"AHH!!" Timothy suddenly screamed as he got up in a bed.
His head hurts but slowly fade. He then looked around and saw white space.
"Its been too long since I have been here."
He felt familiarity within this white space.
"hoho, we meet again my boy" a friendly old voice heard by Timothy as he smiled knowing who this person is.
"Hello again Gen" Timothy call upon its name seeing that old man in front of him suddenly without flinching.
"Congratulations my boy! You just saved a world that is im the brink of extinction!" Gen happily announced to Timothy which made him smile yet feeling bitterness that he will leave all his friends and love ones to survive.
Seeing this, Gen comforted Timothy "don't worry my boy, Instead of you going to heaven, hell or even the afterlife. You can choose anything due to your otherworldly merits contained this many years."
"This suppose to be impossible yet you accomplished it! Wonderful!" Gen surprised and really happy to see the only person he talk in those infinite years to be able to live once again.
Timothy smiled, "thats… really great!" he stopped for a while thinking about life.
"Are you not happy boy?" Gen seems to see his facial expression that is similar to him during his younger days.
"Well, I am happy but I want this life to live in peace and comfort, I dont want to fight anymore and even deal with enemies that I hardly defeat." Timothy told Gen everything he wanted to say and finally have an idea.
Timothy used to be a modern ordinary boy which everything he wants needs to be earned by his own money since he is not rich.
He hated that life and during his school years, he always failed but fighting in the other world and got used to politics and fighting, he got tired to it.
"I now know what I want..."
"you can think about it all centuries, its fine" Gen did not bother for choices Timothy make is his only and Gen can't decide.
"I want to have my own ship, you know, a space ship which I can explore the vast universe and even the multiverse at the touch of a button." Timothy happily said this which surprised Gen that he thought he wanted to go back to his original world.
"Are you sure? Exploring takes time..." Gen look to Timothy as thinking exploring space is too long that Gen himself have infinite years still only explored just a half of it.
"Yes... But the ships is should be upgradable and can be changed to anything I want" Timothy didn't stop for this is only his last life and wanted to enjoy it.
"I want that ship has its own Artificial Intelligence also..." Timothy keep talking for hours until he stops.
Gen didn't mind it and even humored on how ambitious this boy have.
"…that's all" Timothy finally done as Gen look through his eyes with a flash which blind him.
Timothy later on opened his eyes and saw his body is still muscular as always but seems to be younger.
He looked around and he is sitting in the cockpit of a very small spaceship.
He wished to have his own spaceship and it come true, even it is small at first.
Timothy's wheels are either a joy stick or a console controller.
He looked around and he can only crouch to move around the ship.
"It is small yet in the future, this will be enormous." Timothy proudly to himself as he look opened the small box which contains a set of high tech contact lenses.
After he wears this lenses, his view became much clearer and on the side of the screen, he saw $ sign and only 10 dollars in his inventory which is really low.
He looked through the small window and saw vast space.
"I can't believe that I am in space... It feels boring" Timothy got bored only half an hour where he got nothing to do.
His 10 dollars still not touched as he drive the ship randomly hoping to find a planet to rest.
All he sees are vast of nothingness for a couple of hours.
Timothy later on heard something in his screen.
______
Achievement unlocked: Space newbie!
Objective: Explore the space for 10 hours... Completed
Reward: $15, Shop upgrade.
______
Timothy relaxed and smiled as he saw his wish of having a system like those novels he read.
"15 Dollars? That's already a fair reward." Timothy smiled and went through the menu and store in his screen.
He saw many lists of items like foods or even accessories and stuff.
But his eyes stared to the spaceship lists, he saw upgrade ship costing about $100 which rather expensive but the other is a ship attachment called planet finder which cost $10.
He bought the Planet finder which automatically installed to the ship's system.
Next is the system automatically activated which is now searching for a nearest planet.
After a few hours of waiting, The planet finder finally discovered a nearest planet to the ship.
"Finally!" Timothy cheered to himself and set the destination to that certain planet.
In just a few days, Timothy gather information about the incoming planet.
He saw is similar shape and also the size of his original home Earth.
But with a bit of greenery and no trash floating around the orbit.
The planet has no any modern technologies or any communications can be seen.
This planet contains lifeform mostly Nords which are very similar to humans.
"So...this is a medieval era?" Timothy saw the planet have humans wearing plates and armor with spears in the screen.
He controlled the ship and landed it at the top of the tallest mountain.
The mountain filled with sea of clouds with the sky so beautiful thag one can live for eternity.
Landing the ship at the top, Timothy see a humongous cave which the ship can enter freely which made Timothy small.
Entering the cave, The ship detected a lifeform inside of it.
He saw is a Titan creature, this creature are similar to many mythical story called a dragon.
Outside of the ship, there is a dragon who woken up due to a unknown object.
The dragon tried to use its mind reading but all in vain.
It even used flames to burn the object but still doesn't work.
The dragon begun to get scared, all of its entire life, the flame is indestructible and can destroy everything in its path.
It back off and just stare with fear in its eyes.
As for Timothy, he only watched the dragon with amuse.
"I think I can talk to that dragon." Timothy have an translator which comes along the ship.
He wear it in his wrist and then got off the ship, walking towards the dragon.
The dragon stare to Timothy as he back away and use his telepathy to communicate.
As the dragon only begun to communicate, Timothy spoke which never the Dragon's life ever be heard.
"You...you can speak my language!?" The Dragon both felt joy and fear to this person.
The Dragon's human name is Lucifer, in thousand of years surviving as the last pure and existing true Dragon in this world.
When Lucifer went outside, many run and attack him even he do not done nothing.
He even move places to places due to the Nords, Humans who keep stumbling in its nest. And now, he even saw a human who seems to be powerful than those humans.
"Hello my friend, do you worship our lord God or the devil?" Timothy stopped for a second which made him question his sentence.
He used to speak to millions of people but now he seems to be back in his shy-self.
"Sorry, I mean do you kill or eat humans or not?" Timothy finally relaxed as he stare at the dragon who is Lucifer.
"Uhmmmm.… I serve no one and also I do not eat humans or even harm those weaklings.… I mean people." Lucifer still wary of Timothy.
"Oh... I mean good" Timothy seems to be little dissapointed by Lucifer's answer.
(got bored to write, the main character will now be a firstperson which is the reader will be the character.)
As Timothy speaking freely to the dragon, the system suddenly spoke.
"WARNING, WARNING, THE SHIP'S MAIN POWER NEEDS TO BE RECHARGED. TIME TO BE FULL: 365 DAYS"
The voice have both calm and women like.
Hearing this, Timothy begun to panic into thinking how is this chilling in peace.
Lucifer just stand there seeing Timothy talking to himself like a freak which Lucifer seems to found someone alike to him.
"DUE TO SHORTAGE OF POWER, THE OWN....." As the system continue, the ship's engine explode and flew far away, going down the sea of clouds.
"WARNING, DUE TO SHORTAGE OF POWER, THE OWNER CAN ONLY NOW ACCESS LIMITED DATAS SUCH AS EQUIPMENTS AND USABLE ITEMS."
This frustrated Timothy as he try to kick the crashed ship but suddenly a loud thunder struck both of the ship and Timothy.
CHAPTER 3: CHANGED
"What... happened?"
As I look around, I saw the ship still crashed in the ground and the Dragon who just staring at me like a creep.
As I walk up to the ship, the body is still intact and did not contain any burn or broken parts except the engine.
I tested it and it is still fine. As I went to the cockpit, I saw at the chair is a watch.
"Where did this comes from?" Seeing the watch, I am surely this does not even exist.
The shape of the watch is a bit squares with only a small circle at the middle filled with darkness.
As I wear it, the watch opened up, what I saw is a hologram just like in the ship.
Here I saw a map with an arrow which means me.
But I can only see the what near me and all are blank.
Lucifer stared at confusion
Since the dragon did not bother me, I explore the cave and seeing that the map is updating wherever i went and those blank or blurred area in the map became clear.
