As i navigated around the enormous battlefield using god-step
i was stopped by a of large worm that was as large as human with saliva dripping from it mouth with a row of shark teeth
the worm charged at me with its mouth aiming for my head
i roll forward and ignite god-step with a trail of amethyst lighting in my wake i got behind the overgrown worm and use god-step again to get on its back
i got this with that thought with a wobbly smirk plastered over my face i manifested dawn balled in my hands with light sparks a translucent blue sword with a black handle and no hand guard manifested in my hand.
i stab the worm through its head using dawns balled then slicing it through its back and finally cutting it in half
[you have slain awakened monster juvenile sand worm]
sand worm eh? i guess it fits but before i could continue on my seemingly never ending walk i see the amethyst orb start float out of it and soon i as touch them i see them start to float towards me Are these the so called aether fragment that i saw in my runes
the aether fragments start to pour into my abdomen and get absorbed by my core
[you connection grows stronger]
i look at my rune

aether fragments:14/1000

after over a month of fighting anything i could kill and running form everything else i have finally reached
name:Arthur
true name:-
aether layer: dormant
aether fragments:54/1000
after so much fighting you think i would get a memory or something, is my luck really that bad well whatever
i start to move getting up from my make shift base of operation which was basically just a bunch of stones i had gathered from the surrounding though water had been an issue i was able to use the aether in my body to keep myself alive though at least food was not a problem
man why do i have to eat insect meat everyday what can a man do to get some variety in this place thinking this i continue on my walk to find more sandworm to kill and finally reach a thousand

it been over an year since i had arrived in this desert and have finally reached it and saw a land made of jagged stone cliff jutting out of a ocean made of pure darkness
any other day i would have been delighted to see water and but it only filled me with a sense of dread and nothing else
sighing i shovel the rest of my food in my mouth and use god step and step on to one of the more flat cliffs make my bed and take a rest.
startled i wake up to see the dark ocean retreating into the ground and completely disappearing who would have thought an entire ocean could disappear overnight
with i continue on my to find a way back to the waking world as i continue using god-step with intervals of walking i was able to cross a great distance while moving i spot a colony of giant spiders covered with metallic armor
i hung on top of the great cliffs using dawns balled and looked down at the lone spider that had ventured out of its colony looking at it i could tell it rank
this should be easy its only an awakened beast thinking this i jumped activated god-step with dawns balled in my right hand
i stab the spider in its abdomen crushing it and the slicing it in half through its head
[you have killed awakened beast iron spider]
[your connection grows stronger]
i could probably get a lot of fragments like this thinking that i got to work and started my crusade against the spiders
