Adithi, "Yes. By creating a new space to override the law of nature."
"But it'll cost you something too."
The boy stared straight into his eyes. "What do you want?"
Adithi smiled. This old body is too fragile to travel around the world. I'm thinking about resting.
"One house of land... inside your space." Nothing more than that, even if I died, just bury my body inside the house...
But you know I didn't even know I could do that, but how can I promise that something that I know whether it happens or not, and you are trusting a blind guy....
Adithi handed him a scroll. Young and hot-blooded people can do anything, especially someone like you....
Inside—The List:
Spine of the Sovereign of Curses
Crown of the Sovereign of Delusions
Wedding Ring of the Sovereign of Love
Parasol of the Sovereign of Red Waters
Third Eye of the Sovereign of Withering Horizons
Absolute Dominance Pendant of the Sovereign of Beasts
But with all of these, how can I create a new space?
Those are the cherished items of those Sovereigns; even if you find a fallen god's cherished item, that is nothing in front of these six sovereigns' cherished items. One day, you will experience the difference between those items and other powerful weapons....
The boy with an excited look. "Looks like we're going to be busy, Saki…"
Adithi vanished into the thin air...
The Journey Begins...
He stepped toward the human lands.
A new flame at his side.
A new goal in his heart.
And far, far away...
In the Cursed Empire...
A raven flew through the dusk, clutching a scroll of Rat skin.
It landed on a toppled castle tower, deep within the lands of rot.
There, beneath an Ashvattha tree, a man with a broken mask of Pò Zhòu Miàn.
Beside him—
A long black sword. A raven came with a message in a scroll of rat skin...
He took the scroll. Read it. Smiled.
And "The time has come." The chosen one will break the shackles of this demon, he was shackled by fate already yhahahahhaaaa....
After learning the heavy consequences of resurrecting Saki and discovering the only way to save his mother from the merciless Void Space, Rudra and Saki set out on a journey to the human lands.
They took out the necessary things, and he said goodbye to the apostles and his beast friends.
Started clearing the path to Humanlands. The journey itself is not simple; the blow that Saki took, he still remembers and knows how to follow the path driven by a thread called fate...
They were not aimless wanderers. Their goal was clear: to uncover knowledge about the current era, its politics, economics, history, social customs, and all the things they lacked understanding of after being absent for so long.
They both never entered into human lands before, but Saki knows how human lands work...
Days passed before they finally reached the Eleanora Domain—home to the prestigious Eleanora Academy, hailed as the ace among academies in the Eastern human lands. Students from distant empires and kingdoms traveled far and wide to enter its gates.
Unlike many places, the academy valued talent over lineage. Here, one's family name meant little. Instead, strict training and harsh selection decided who was worthy. Students were divided into two groups:
The Warrior Grade — where rigorous combat training honed deadly fighters.
The Scholar Grade — where minds were sharpened with research, studies, and arcane knowledge.
The academy's entrance examination was a formidable test in three stages. The first two stages were common to all hopefuls. But the final stage diverged warriors faced the deadly arena fights, while scholars underwent intense viva voce tests.
Rudra, despite being blind, and his devoted caretaker, Saki, confidently applied for the entrance exam. Before the trials began, they needed to prepare. The Eleanora Academy demanded strict etiquette and a dress code. their current clothes, which are too grandiose in that environment, did not fit the refined standards.
So, they went shopping.
Their destination for rest was a hotel with an oddly charming name: "Loving Apples." Despite the whimsical title, it was one of the finest inns in the Eleanora Domain.
The hotel owner was an elf—a gentle, poised woman radiating a quiet power. Upon their arrival, she greeted them warmly.
"What brings you to the Eleanora Domain, sir?" she asked with a curious smile.
Rudra answered simply, "We plan to enter the Eleanora Academy. We need a place to stay until the exam."
The elf nodded in understanding and offered her hospitality without hesitation.
Saki, ever observant, asked her name.
"Rosa," she replied softly.
The exam was just a week away, and Rudra and Saki settled into separate rooms within the inn, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. But Saki always watches him from her room...
The inn is increasing with people and students who are curious to join the academy.
Loving apples is a great inn, but it is too local, so nobles avoid getting in.
A week swept by in silence and peace. The day had finally come — the Eleanora Academy Entrance Examination.
Rudra stood still at the edge of the academy's outer grounds, his hair brushing against the breeze, his blindfold firm, yet his senses sharper than blades. Beside him, loyal and vigilant, Saki walked like a silent blade, guarding her master's every step.
But even their composed presence couldn't mask the tension in the air.
The grounds were flooded with throngs of spectators and candidates, but not for just any entrance exam — no, no. This time, legends had entered the ring.
One of them: Varuna Surandha, the Crown Prince of the mighty Surandha Empire. A true prodigy, spoken of in awe throughout the continent. Born with mastery over all four primary elements, he was the golden flame of the human world. His presence turned whispers into storms.
Another: Ravali Rakthasira, the Sixth Princess of the Rakthasira Empire. She bore the chilling title "Blood Princess", born with eerie crimson pupils — an omen of power. Those eyes had only appeared once before in recorded history… and that man carved his name into the bones of the world.
And these weren't the only monsters gathered. Talents from every empire and kingdom had converged at this very arena.
But none of them had walked from the ashes of the void like Rudra.
The First Stage: Sol capacity and Physique.
The first trial tested both physical strength and power generation. Warriors were broken down, scholars shattered in silence — yet Rudra and Saki passed with flying colors, not even a bead of sweat betraying their calm. The sol is the term used in humanlands, where in sarpavana it is called essence. The thing is, it is the magical power you can bear and use...
Saki moved like a whisper of wind, and Rudra… even without eyes, he saw more than most ever would.
The Second Stage: Spirit and Element
Next came control over one's elemental affinity, alongside a written exam of deep spiritual knowledge.
Rudra, though blind, channeled the sol so composed it shook the observing instructors. His answers were few — but exact. Saki's control was like silk and steel, graceful and deadly.
Though the results of the second stage would be announced a week later, it was clear: they weren't just passers-by — they were contenders.
The Third Stage: Choosing the Path
Rudra, despite his growing strength, never craved violence. His heart remained soft, thoughtful — even as the world tried to harden it.
So when it came time to choose the final trial — combat or intellect — he chose the Scholar's Path.
He entered a quiet chamber filled with golden candlelight. An elven instructor sat poised on a velvet chair, her presence elegant, yet firm.
She glanced at him, intrigued. "Name? "Rudra," he replied calmly. "Blindfolded and brave," she murmured. "Let's see what your mind holds."
She asked him a series of questions — general knowledge, cultural awareness, elemental theory. Rudra answered what he knew, steady as a rock in a storm.
At the end, the elf gave a faint smile. "Very well. You may leave."
Saki faced the same test — and emerged with the same calm composure.
One Week Later…
A letter, sealed with silver wax forged with the seal of the Eleanora domain, arrived at their hotel.
Rudra removed the seal carefully.
"Dear Candidate, You have passed the preliminary selection. Please attend the Eleanora Ball this evening — formal attire required. Your fate and journey to the knowledge begins from now on."
Rudra and Saki stood before the grand mirror of their suite at Loving Apples, dressed in refined elegance — cloaks of dark blue and silver shimmer, matching their quiet dignity.
The ball awaited. The nobles, the monsters in human skin, the prodigies, the bloodlines… all would gather under one golden roof tonight.
And so would he — the boy entangled by chaos and beauty...
