Chapter 4 - Chapter 4:The Void

*Valker told Alcanor everything about his life: what school was like (he was bullied and didn't do very well), how his parents treated him, how he waited until he was 16 to escape, and even about his death.*

Alcanor: "I see you had a complicated life, it seems," he said calmly as he looked at Valker. "This is the first time I've heard the story of a living being, or a being in general, since I should know all the stories," he said in an amused tone.

*Valker felt less and less nervous, although he was still afraid of what might happen to him, and then he said.*

Valker: But what's so special about me? If you know literally everything, why don't you know anything about me? he said with confusion upon hearing this.

Alcanor: That could be because of one thing," he said in a playful but sincere voice. "You may be an anomaly that shouldn't exist, because no one should enter here unless they have my permission or are important enough to access this place, which would explain a lot about that," he said in a thoughtful tone that was somewhat unusual for him.

Valker: "An anomaly? What do you mean?" he asked incredulously.

Alcanor: "You are unique, mortal," he said in a serious tone. "You were able to enter this domain without transcending it and without permission. I cannot detect you, nor can I know about you with my omniscience. You are very interesting, besides the fact that you are not causing ramifications in the timelines as any living being would, and you are undetectable, completely invisible."

Valker: Invisible? What do you mean I'm invisible? But here I am, you can see and hear me," said Valker uncertainly as he looked at himself.

Alcanor: Yes, I can see you, but that's only visually.

Valker: Visually?

Alcanor: Yes, but in other senses, such as perception or probability and things like that, you are completely invisible. I was only able to detect you because I saw you through the guardian, he says, pointing to the winged, eyeball-like being watching from among the trees.

Valker: I understand. I'm starting to see the point.

Alcanor: Good, I'm glad, because I have something prepared for you, —he says with a mysterious smile—.

Valker: For me? What the—

*Out of nowhere, a spatial deformation forms and space-time cracks, causing the dimension to break apart and sending Valker falling into a completely empty place with red lines and blue constellations resembling stars.*

Valker: AAAAHHH!!! he screams as he falls into the void.

*Then the blue lines resembling constellations begin to surround Valker, and the red lines begin to form a floor, causing Valker to fall onto that floor with a thud.*

Valker: Ouch —he groaned in pain, but as always, his wounds regenerated— Where am I?

*Suddenly, the constellations and red lines began to merge and spin around each other at a speed that distorted reality, causing Valker to hallucinate due to the effects of that speed*

Valker: What's happening!? he said as he felt dizzy trying to stay on his feet, but he had trouble due to the distortion that was being generated.

*Then the red lines and blue constellations formed a kind of head, and Valker fell backwards onto the ground, startled by the immense size of that head.*

Valkee: "W-w-what are you?!" he said fearfully, nervously, and adrenaline-fueled.

*The mysterious being had no expression, but a laugh was heard that made the entire void tremble.

The mysterious being: I am the Void of Eternity, I am this domain and the domain is me, I control everything here, it said in an indecipherable tone.

Valker: Domain? Void of Eternity? WAS THIS THE GIFT FROM THAT GUY!? he said as he raised a hand as if pointing at Alcanor with rage and fear.

Void of Eternity: Oh, I see, so my lord sent you? How impressive, you must be very strong, or you are weak with great potential, — he said as red lines began to glow and envelop Valker—. Let's see what you hide in your past and your life. Don't worry, it's not dangerous... unless you resist too much.

*Valker stopped struggling when he heard the warning from the Void of Eternity, letting him see his history and his life without resisting, knowing that it would be useless to resist.*

The Void of Eternity: "I see, I understand everything now, anomaly," he said in a somewhat mocking but more serious and authoritative tone. "I'm going to train you until your body is destroyed, so I hope you can resist."

Valker: "Train? TRAIN WITH YOU!?" he said as he tried to flee, but the Void of Eternity materialized in front of him in an instant. "Come on, you're going to kill me!"

Void of Eternity: That may happen, but orders are orders, and my lord's orders are irrefutable," he said as he grabbed Valker with his blue constellations*.

Void of Eternity: Training will begin now, and there will be no rest!.
