Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 14 – Echoes of the First World
Dawn.
Deep Forest Zone is slowly calming down.
The marks of last night's battle are still scattered everywhere—broken trees, burned ground, and the lingering vibrations of power in the air.
Zerion sits on a rock.
His body is exhausted.
His energy is almost gone.
But—
his eyes are open.
He's awake.
---
Luna stands a short distance away.
She's watching him.
"…you broke your limit…"
she says softly.
---
Zerion stays silent.
That moment is still replaying in his mind—
Balance Break.
A power he doesn't fully understand yet.
---
"…unstable…"
he mutters quietly.
---
Luna walks closer.
"…can you control it?"
---
Zerion takes a moment before answering—
"…I have to."
---
Silence.
A light breeze passes through.
---
Suddenly—
Zerion's body trembles.
He closes his eyes.
---
Luna looks surprised.
"…what happened?"
---
Zerion says nothing.
Inside his mind—
another vision begins.
---
This time—
not a map.
not a fragment.
---
A place.
---
A massive, broken world.
Cracked sky.
Ruined land.
---
And at the center—
a tower.
---
Zerion's eyes tremble.
"…this…"
---
The vision becomes clearer.
He sees—
someone standing there.
---
In front of them—
countless fragments floating.
---
But—
these fragments are different.
They are all connected.
---
Zerion's breathing grows heavy.
"…first world…"
---
He opens his eyes.
---
Luna looks at him.
"…what did you see?"
---
Zerion answers slowly—
"…origin…"
---
Silence.
---
"…the beginning of everything…"
---
Luna pauses.
"…what do you mean?"
---
Zerion says—
"…all fragments came from one place."
"…that place."
---
A glint appears in his eyes.
"…First World."
---
---
Astra City, War Room
Kael stands in front of the map.
His face is tense.
---
"…signal loss…"
he says quietly.
---
Ragan stands beside him.
"…meaning?"
---
Kael replies—
"…multiple fragment signals are suddenly disappearing."
---
Silence.
---
"…Void Walker…"
Ragan says.
---
Kael nods.
"…yes."
---
At that moment—
the door opens.
Zerion walks in.
---
Everyone looks at him.
---
Kael says—
"…you're back."
---
Zerion nods.
"…our problem just got bigger."
---
Silence.
---
"…not Void Walker," he says.
"…something bigger."
---
Kael frowns.
"…explain."
---
Zerion steps forward and looks at the map.
The reflection of his vision is in his eyes.
---
"…fragments aren't random."
"…they came from an origin."
---
Ragan says—
"…origin?"
---
Zerion replies—
"…First World."
---
The room goes silent.
---
Luna says softly—
"…the beginning of everything?"
---
Zerion nods.
"…yes."
---
He points at a location on the map.
---
"…here."
---
A location—
outside the map.
---
Kael looks at it.
"…that doesn't exist…"
---
Zerion says—
"…not in the normal world."
---
Silence.
---
"…then how do we get there?"
---
Zerion pauses, then says—
"…we need a gate."
---
Luna asks—
"…what gate?"
---
Zerion answers slowly—
"…the original gate."
---
---
Night.
Outside Astra City.
---
Zerion stands alone.
---
His eyes on the sky.
---
"…First World…"
---
The vision plays again in his mind.
---
The tower.
The fragments.
---
And—
a shadow.
---
He says quietly—
"…someone is there…"
---
---
Far away—
in a dark place.
---
Void Walker stands.
Fragments floating before him.
---
He closes his eyes.
---
"…origin…"
---
He smiles faintly.
---
"…I'm coming."
---
---
And somewhere else—
---
The Observer stands.
---
A strange light in his eyes.
---
"…so it begins…"
---
---
Three paths—
one place.
---
First World.
---
Origin.
---
The beginning of the end.
---
Zerion slowly closes his eyes.
---
"…I'm coming…"
---
A new arc begins—
First World Arc
---
The truth of everything lies here.
The path to the end begins here.

Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 14 – Echoes of the First World
Part 2
Night grows deeper.
Zerion stands on a high place outside Astra City. The city lights glow below, but there's no reflection of that light in his eyes—his gaze is fixed far away, toward a place that isn't part of this world yet.
First World.
Origin.
---
"…gate…"
he says quietly.
---
The vision keeps replaying in his mind—
Tower…
Fragments…
and that invisible path, separate from the normal world.
---
"…it's impossible without the original gate…"
---
At that moment—
a voice from behind.
"…then we'll find it."
---
Zerion turns.
Luna is standing there.
Determination in her eyes.
---
"…you're not going alone," she says.
---
Zerion stays silent for a moment.
Then says slowly—
"…this is different."
---
Luna steps forward.
"…I know."
---
"…still—I'm going."
---
Silence.
---
Zerion looks at her.
A brief hesitation in his eyes.
But—
he nods.
"…fine."
---
---
Astra Guild, Research Wing
Kael sits in front of an old database.
Countless data in front of him—
ancient records, gate anomalies, forgotten zones.
---
"…original gate…"
he whispers.
---
Ragan stands beside him.
"…found anything?"
---
Kael says—
"…there's one mention."
---
He zooms in on the screen.
---
"First Gate – Pre-System Era"
---
The room goes silent.
---
"…pre-system?"
Ragan says.
---
Kael nods.
"…before the system existed."
---
Silence.
---
"…then this is…"
---
"…ancient."
---
Kael says—
"…very ancient."
---
He marks a location on the map.
---
"…Dead Zone."
---
---
Dead Zone
Morning.
---
A vast empty land.
Dry, cracked ground.
No trees.
No life.
---
This place—
isn't normal.
---
Zerion and Luna arrive.
---
Luna looks around.
"…there's nothing here…"
---
Zerion says slowly—
"…there is."
---
He walks forward.
---
His senses activate.
---
A faint signal.
Very weak.
But—
real.
---
"…there…"
---
He stops at a spot.
---
The ground is cracked.
But—
something lies beneath.
---
Zerion raises his hand.
---
"…reveal."
---
A wave of energy spreads.
---
But—
this time the reaction is different.
---
The ground trembles.
Cracks widen.
---
Then—
an ancient structure slowly rises.
---
A gate.
---
But—
not a normal gate.
---
It's broken.
Ancient.
Half-destroyed.
---
Strange symbols surround it.
---
Luna whispers—
"…this…"
---
Zerion says—
"…First Gate."
---
Silence.
---
No light comes from the gate.
No energy.
---
Dead.
---
Luna says—
"…it's not working."
---
Zerion steps forward.
---
He places his hand on the gate.
---
Nothing happens.
---
"…inactive…"
---
Silence.
---
Zerion closes his eyes.
---
The power within him reacts.
---
Creation…
Destruction…
Chaos…
---
The three try to resonate with the gate.
---
But—
no response.
---
Zerion opens his eyes.
"…not enough…"
---
At that moment—
the air trembles.
---
Luna turns.
"…again?"
---
A voice—
"…you're fast."
---
Someone steps out of the darkness.
---
Void Walker.
---
A smile in his eyes.
---
"…I thought I'd arrive first."
---
Zerion looks at him.
"…late."
---
Void Walker smiles.
"…not really."
---
He looks at the gate.
---
"…you can't activate it."
---
Silence.
---
Luna says—
"…can you?"
---
Void Walker pauses.
---
A slight smile.
---
"…maybe."
---
Zerion narrows his eyes.
---
"…then show me."
---
Void Walker steps forward.
---
He places his hand on the gate.
---
His five fragments light up at once.
---
The gate trembles.
---
A faint light appears.
---
Luna's eyes widen.
"…it's working!"
---
Zerion watches.
---
"…multiple fragments…"
---
Void Walker says—
"…that's the difference."
---
The gate begins to activate.
---
But—
suddenly—
---
CRACK
---
Cracks spread across the gate.
---
Void Walker pulls his hand away.
---
"…unstable…"
---
Silence.
---
Zerion says—
"…it needs both of our power."
---
Void Walker looks at him.
---
"…a temporary alliance?"
---
Silence.
---
Luna is shocked.
"…what?"
---
Zerion pauses, then says—
"…for now."
---
Void Walker smiles.
---
"…interesting."
---
He steps forward again.
---
Zerion stands beside him.
---
Both place their hands on the gate.
---
Creation.
Destruction.
Chaos.
---
Void energy.
Fragments.
---
All merge together.
---
The gate starts shaking.
---
Light bursts out.
---
The air splits.
---
A portal slowly opens.
---
On the other side—
darkness.
And…
another world.
---
First World.
---
Zerion stares.
Fire in his eyes.
---
"…finally…"
---
Void Walker smiles.
---
"…let's begin."
---
The door to a new world has opened.
---
Now—
everything will change.

Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 14 – Echoes of the First World
Part 3
The air in Dead Zone is no longer still—it's tearing apart. In front of the First Gate, Zerion and Void Walker stand, their powers merging into a strange resonance.
The portal is now fully open.
On the other side—
not darkness.
not emptiness.
---
A broken world.
---
Cracked sky.
Ruined land.
And in the distance—
a massive tower.
---
First World.
---
Luna stares, holding her breath.
"…this…"
---
Zerion says slowly—
"…origin."
---
Void Walker smiles faintly.
"…finally."
---
Silence.
---
A cold wind flows out of the portal.
Like the breath of another world.
---
Zerion steps forward.
---
Luna shouts—
"…wait!"
---
She comes closer.
Concern in her eyes.
"…you don't know what's there…"
---
Zerion looks at her.
"…I know."
---
Luna is surprised.
"…what?"
---
Zerion says quietly—
"…danger."
---
Void Walker smiles.
"…obviously."
---
Silence.
---
Zerion looks ahead.
Determination in his eyes.
---
"…I'm going."
---
He walks toward the portal.
---
Void Walker stands beside him.
"…I'll go first."
---
Zerion says nothing.
---
Void Walker steps forward—
---
Suddenly—
---
CRACK!!!
---
The portal shakes.
---
A strange energy bursts out from within.
---
Void Walker stops.
His eyes narrow.
"…not welcoming…"
---
Zerion watches.
---
Inside the portal—
light ignites.
---
A presence.
---
An entity.
---
It slowly emerges.
---
A guardian.
---
But—
not like the others.
---
Its body is made of light.
Its eyes—
empty.
---
Luna steps back.
"…again?!"
---
Zerion steps forward.
---
The guardian speaks slowly—
"…unauthorized entry…"
---
Silence.
---
Void Walker smiles.
"…every time…"
---
The guardian raises its hand.
---
The portal trembles.
---
A massive energy forms.
---
Zerion narrows his eyes.
"…strong…"
---
Void Walker says—
"…let's break it."
---
In an instant—
both move together.
---
BOOM!!!
---
Clash.
---
The guardian attacks—
a massive wave of light.
---
Zerion raises his hand—
blocks it.
---
Void Walker attacks from the side.
---
The guardian reacts.
Its movement smooth.
Perfect.
---
Zerion says—
"…coordination."
---
Void Walker smiles.
"…temporary alliance…"
---
They attack again.
---
This time—
perfect timing.
---
Zerion pressures from the front.
Void Walker strikes from behind.
---
The guardian defends—
but—
this time it's being pushed back.
---
Luna watches from afar.
Amazement in her eyes.
"…they're fighting together…"
---
The battle intensifies.
---
The guardian attacks with light energy.
Zerion absorbs it.
Void Walker cuts through it.
---
Perfect combination.
---
The guardian slowly steps back.
---
Cracks appear on its body.
---
Zerion says—
"…end it."
---
Void Walker nods.
---
Both gather power.
---
Zerion—Balance energy.
Void Walker—Void energy.
---
The two merge.
---
A massive sphere forms.
---
The guardian looks at it.
---
"…denied…"
---
It raises its hand.
---
But—
too late.
---
BOOM!!!!!!!!
---
A massive explosion.
---
The portal trembles.
The Dead Zone shakes.
---
Light spreads everywhere.
Everything is covered.
---
Luna shields her eyes.
---
After a moment—
the light fades.
---
The guardian stands—
no.
---
It's broken.
Its body dissolves into light.
---
The portal stabilizes again.
---
Silence.
---
Void Walker exhales slowly.
"…not bad…"
---
Zerion looks ahead.
"…let's go."
---
Void Walker smiles.
"…this time—no interruptions."
---
Zerion steps forward.
---
This time—
no one stops him.
---
He enters the portal.
---
Void Walker follows.
---
Luna stands still.
Fear in her eyes—
and determination.
---
"…wait…"
---
She steps forward too.
---
The three of them—
enter a new world.
---
First World.
---
The portal closes behind them.
---
The Dead Zone becomes silent again.
---
But—
this time—
the story has moved elsewhere.
---
A broken world.
A forgotten origin.
---
And—
a truth—
still hidden.

Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 14 – Echoes of the First World
Part 4
A strange silence.
Zerion slowly opens his eyes.
---
Around him—
an unfamiliar world.
---
The sky is broken—strange light seeps through the cracks.
The ground is filled with ruins, as if this world ended long ago.
The air is heavy—but it carries the scent of ancient power.
---
First World.
---
Zerion slowly stands.
His eyes scan everything.
---
"…this is origin…"
---
Beside him—
Void Walker stands.
A strange interest in his eyes.
---
"…beautiful…"
he whispers.
---
Luna stands a bit away.
Her body trembling.
---
"…this isn't normal…"
---
Zerion nods.
"…this is a destroyed world."
---
Silence.
---
In the distance—
that tower stands.
---
Massive.
Unnatural.
---
Like the center of the entire world.
---
Void Walker looks at it.
---
"…that's it."
---
Zerion says—
"…convergence point."
---
Luna whispers—
"…all fragments…"
---
Zerion nods.
"…there."
---
---
They start walking.
---
With each step, the ground trembles.
As if this world feels their presence.
---
Suddenly—
Zerion stops.
---
"…something's wrong…"
---
Void Walker narrows his eyes.
"…I feel it too…"
---
The air suddenly grows heavier.
---
The cracks in the sky glow.
---
A sound—
---
THUMP… THUMP…
---
The ground shakes.
---
In the distance—
something moves.
---
Luna steps back.
"…what is that…"
---
Slowly—
a massive shadow emerges from the darkness.
---
A giant entity.
---
Its body is like stone, covered with glowing lines.
Its eyes—
empty.
---
Zerion looks at it.
---
"…another guardian…"
---
Void Walker shakes his head.
---
"…no…"
he says quietly.
---
"…stronger."
---
The entity steps forward.
---
Each step breaks the ground.
---
Its voice roars—
---
"…intruders…"
---
Silence.
---
Zerion steps forward.
---
"…we're not here to play."
---
The entity raises its hand.
---
The ground trembles.
---
A massive energy forms.
---
Void Walker smiles.
---
"…then let's start again."
---
In an instant—
both move together.
---
BOOM!!!
---
Clash.
---
This time—
the First World shakes.
---
The entity attacks—
a massive punch.
---
Zerion blocks—
but—
he gets pushed back.
---
Void Walker attacks from the side.
---
The entity reacts.
Its movement heavy—
but fast.
---
Zerion narrows his eyes.
---
"…strong…"
---
Void Walker says—
"…perfect."
---
The battle begins.
---
This time—
on a much larger scale.
---
Zerion applies pressure from the front.
Void Walker strikes with speed.
---
The entity defends—
but—
its power is overwhelming.
---
One strike—
Zerion gets hit.
---
He crashes to the ground.
---
Luna shouts—
"…Zerion!"
---
Void Walker continues attacking.
---
But—
the entity stops him.
---
A massive strike.
---
Void Walker is pushed back.
---
Silence.
---
Zerion slowly stands again.
---
Fire in his eyes.
---
"…this world…"
---
he says slowly—
---
"…won't stop me."
---
Power begins rising from his body.
---
Void Walker watches.
---
A smile forms on his lips.
---
"…again?"
---
Zerion says—
---
"…again."
---
His aura explodes.
---
The First World trembles.
---
A new battle begins.
---
And this time—
it's not just survival.
---
It's a fight for origin.
---
In the distance—
on top of the tower—
a shadow stands.
---
Watching everything.
---
Its eyes glow.
---
"…finally…"
---
All three players have arrived.
---
The game has begun.
---
First World—
is no longer silent.
---
It has awakened.
