On the other side of the world, A gentle breeze stirred the leaves.
The forest was full of life with different kinds of species, a waterfall running down the hill of the mountain.
Creak—
A creaking of the leaves in the distance as it was being stomped.
A people with a well built body, an ancient clothing that wasn't civilized was seen running.
They were catching a boar "Older brother, let's hurry or else we will get scold by the chieftain" A young boy named dolly with a black hair and spear spoken while running.
"Tskk, if not for the chieftain, I won't even let you come here" The older brother named lloyd snickered.
"But—" The weak voice of the younger brother was overwhelmed by lloyd.
"No, Buts!! just because some strange phenomena happened when you were born, and the whole of Ashfall focused their entire resources just so you can cultivate yet… Me. A nobody always behind your shadow"
The emotions was built inside his heart since the time they started treating his younger brother a genius.
Lloyd just wanted to protect his one and only family. They're parents died early by the god of the lake when they were young.
Since then the clan couldn't afford to lose the child born in a strange phenomenon. Lloyd who doesn't have any talent for cultivation always behinds his back.
Lloyd looked up ahead and just before the boar turned around, he threw the spear with an astonishing strength.
It pierced through the body and made a hole.
He whispered and greeted his teeth "I only got this strength, If the heavens couldn't help me… Then I will do whatever it takes to reach the heavens." He looked up.
Took the spear out stuck to the tree.
He noticed something about the unusual shape of the mountainside, a cave that was covered in darkness.
Cough—
A coughing sound was heard from the inside. "It didn't seem like a wild beast but more likely a person"
He immediately brushed aside his thoughts and began to explore the interior.
Inside the middle of the cave a body was lying on the ground.
Nexus woke upon the shining light pointing directly at his eyes.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a unfamiliar place, he began to looked around and said "Where are we senior?". The dragon soul replied with uncertainty "We're at the back of the world far from the mainland".
Nexus calmly said "You mean—".
With that being said nexus immediately understood behind the statement. They got a lot of times to practice and getting stronger.
The moment he leaves this place will be the moment he gets his revenge on the ancient beast clans.
Also the mastermind behind the back the Celestra sect. The world's supreme force.
Screech—
In the distant nexus sensed and heard the movement of a figure from the distance.
He glanced at the figure peeking out from behind the rock wall.
Lloyd got nervoused when he got caught, but nexus doesn't care and continues to talk to thw dragon soul.
Lloyd was dumbfounded when he witnessed the man was talking to himself.
He wondered if the person was not in his right mind.
"Did he got hurt on his head? maybe he is an idiot that got lost hi way in the forest…"
After sometime of pondering while observing nexus.
He stepped forward and approached nexus.
"Hey! What are you doing here alone?" lloyd said.
Nexus didn't even bothered talking to him but only replied with silence.
He tapped the shoulder of nexus while standing still "Hey talk to me you idiot—".
From that point on nexus glanced at him, with the intention of seeing him. Lloyd witnessed the eyes of the figure, it's glowing like a golden.
An eyes of a true predator.
"Older brother, Where did you go?"
A voice echoed inside the cave, it's not that far from their location.
Lloyd was shocked but thankfully his brother was nearby, or else he would be killed in a single breath.
He shouted "I'm here, I found some… Idiot here".
Dolly heard and met with his brother "What a strange guy, a black horned, he was definitely not from here… we have to go back brother".
"let's take him back to the clan"
"No, we can't do that. We couldn't let a strange person in the clan"
"But we can't just leave him here" Lloyd uttered while watching nexus idiot face like without knowledge of the world.
"…" Dolly couldn't refuse his brother, since the guy besides him doesn't look that powerful "Well, I will talk to the chieftain and the others".
Lloyd nodded.
They took nexus into their clan.
Gazes from different directions of the ashfall people was cautious about the unfamiliar face being brought by the brothers.
At the front of the large tent. A footsteps could be heard coming out the curtain "Did you finished the task I gave you?".
Dolly and lloyd replied "Yes, chieftain".
A huge well built body and a tattoos all over the body was seen.
He spoke "Good job, truly worthy being the number one genius of the ashfall"
"It's merely a title, I got still a long way to go"
The chieftain eyes went to the other side "Well who's this guy?"
They explained how they met nexus.
"I see, an idiot…" Dax the chieftain muttered, he saw nexus and even scanned his whole body and found no signs of spiritual energy "Truly an idiot guy, from now on. Lloyd will be responsible for him"
They all agreed and dispersed.
Nexus traveled together with lloyd to his own tent.
"Now, what's next? I will go training" Lloyd asked himself every time, but the answer was always training.
His desperation to cultivate was top notch.
Nexus observed him from time to time while staying inside the tent.
Also gathering information about the unknown place.
People from time to time observes as lloyd was training and being compared with his younger brother the genius of the ashfall tribe.
