For centuries, the dimensions existed in fragile harmony. Vast realms some governed by unrelenting logic, others by untamed chaos intertwined like threads in an infinite tapestry. The Celestial Corridor connected them, an ancient, sprawling void that pulsed with energies no mortal could fully comprehend. These realms, though diverse, adhered to a silent equilibrium, a balance none dared disrupt.

Until the day the Blackstone fell.

It appeared without warning, a shard of absolute darkness that tore through the Celestial Corridor, severing ties between realms and birthing new, unpredictable pathways. Where once vibrant worlds flourished in isolation, chaos now crept.

Most inhabitants, scattered across countless dimensions, noticed little at first. A faint ripple, a whisper on the edge of consciousness. Only a rare few a mystic with sight beyond the veil, a scientist obsessed with universal constants, a wanderer who stumbled into forbidden corners of the Corridor felt the weight of the Blackstone’s arrival.

For them, the change was undeniable. Time fractured in some realms, flowing backward or freezing entirely. Laws of physics unraveled, birthing anomalies that defied reason. Even the souls of the dead began to linger in places they had no business being.

And then the visions began.

The Blackstone, buried deep in the heart of the Corridor, called to them in dreams, speaking in fragmented echoes of a power that could either destroy or unite all creation. Each chosen soul was left with a question: Was the stone a gift to heal the broken balance, or a curse sent to shatter it completely?

As the realms teetered on the edge of collapse, those few who heard the Blackstone’s call found themselves drawn together rivals, allies, and strangers alike. Their paths converged toward a truth hidden at the nexus of worlds, where they would confront the forces that governed existence itself.

What they discovered would rewrite everything they thought they knew about realms, dimensions, and the fragile veil of reality.

"I have always heard those people in the movies after escaping death saying,"I almost saw the bright white light at the end of the tunnel"

Yet here I am in that same proclaimed tunnel but why is it red.Ah shit don't tell me I going to hell,well am not surprised with all the shit I was doing in the in my past .Well it's not like I have a choice now. Seems like the light is getting brighter and brighter.

As he descends into this new mortal realm he begins to feel the warmth and light surrounding him ,signaling a start of his new life .As he opens his eye he is greeted by a blurry figures ,who maybe his new parents eagerly waiting for his arrival.

"*Damn I'm still alive but why can't I move ,my body feels heavy and my surroundings are loud WAIT NO WAY THIS IS HELL?!!!*"

His blurry vision starts to disappear and sees his parents faces gazed at him with a mix of shook and visible disgust

"*Oh shit ,I know those type of faces*" (let's out a deep breath)

"Arthur, our son..."his mother whispered (her voice trembling)."What...what have the gods done?"

Lord Aurion's eyes widen in horror. "This creature can not be our son. It's a dark elf ,a being of darkness and great evil."

The midwife ,a wise old high elf named Calista approached the couple ,her eyes filled with deep understanding. "My lord and lady, the gods have seen fit to bless you with a child, despite his...unusual appearance."

Lady Avalin turned away, her voice trembling. "Bless us? Is your brain distorted, this is a curse , a punishment for some unknown transgression."

Lord Aurion's face hardened."We can not keep this...thing. It is an abomination ,it will sully our families honor!!"

Calista carries Arthur and embraces him "So what is to be done with this innocent child? " glares at Lord Aurion

Knight 1: You dare glare at his majesty (points his sword at her) *bitch don't you know that's illegal*

Lady Avalin raises her hand infront of the knight "No let her be." She looks at her husband and says "Lets leave this incident, we'll see what we do with it tomorrow." (Winks at the knight) *You know what to do*

Everyone leaves the room except Calista who put Arthur down on his bed and went on her way.

"*Damn thought they were NEVER gonna leave, who are those those fancy looking long eared people. They sounded like my parents or whoever's body this is. They didn't sound happy at all (Raises his hands high).IS IT BECAUSE I'M BLACK!!!!! ,well they did mention something about a dark elf.*"

Now that brings me to the point. "How did i get here?",Did I die...the last thing I remember ,I was alone in my room playing an online game and then my body kinda felt heavy I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes then I woke up in that red light.

Well as much as I want to figure out how i got here ,I can't do anything about it anymore.No choice but to go along with it .I'm just happy there wasn't a choir of singing babies with wings on their backs end the end of the light.

(Rolls over on his stomach with a serious confused face)

"Ayo wait a minute was that red light getting brighter me getting given birth to, does that mean that light at the end of the tunnel is the light coming through a woman's #### NO! That's not important !"

*ssssssssssssssss*a hissing sound coming from a gas tank being open comes from the ventilation system."I kinda feel sleepy all of a sudden...(yawns)I'll just close my eyes and take a nap..."

A dark figure with bright red eyes opens the window*creeeaaking sound from the window*and leaves a little opening that's enough for his hand to pass through.The dark figure slowly reaches their hand through the open window and from his hand comes a thread of fire like energy that's branches and weaves to form braids,that ignite the gas in the room.

A fierce breeze erupted,covering the room in a dance of heat and destruction.The scene was chaotic with flames licking the walls casting shadows across the room.Arthur wakes up sleepy eyed and realizes he is surrounded by burning hot flames."DAMN! it hasn't even been a full day since I was born and they already killing me, WTF is wrong with these people (looks at the window as sees the assassin cloaked in darkness through the blazing inferno and vanishes)

But in the midst of the chaos a mysterious white light with a black ring surrounding it began to emanate from baby Arthur's heart.

TO BE CONTINUED

Previously in BlackStone, Arthur was reborn in a new world after he died a mysterious death in his past life and a lot of events have happened in the short time span he was born.He was born to a family in the Elven race but was different from his parents and they resented him for his unusual appearance.Arthur was born with light brown skin colour, black eyes with a strong gaze and curly black shinning hair. That was an unusual sight for his parents who were high elves and they where disgusted by the sight of their newborn son and sent an assassin to do the deed.

In the midst of the chaos Arthur feels a burning feeling in the middle of his chest and realises his body is burning , his skin burns revealing his muscle tissues that also burn to reveal his bones that turn to dust leaving him with only his soul that shines with a white glow and black wings.

"*Damn that was a painful way to die,who knew burning to still your bones turned to dust felt like that.*" (starts looking around then looks at his hands)

All he sees is a pitch black space that seems to never end even though he can still hear the noise from the chaos in the background. After sometime of wandering in the Dark space he hears a calm chilling voice that silences everything.

"Open your eyes boy,focus and clear the darkness from the chaos around you ,silence the noise beating from your core."

"What is that voice and where is it coming from *looks at his chest and sees a black pearl that spinning at an extremely high rate making a sharp hissing sound*....Ok Lets listen to it for now."(breathes in and out 8 times and the black pearl slows down)

"Good job ( slow clapping) , now open your eyes and live your life anew, you will forget your shortlife as Arthur. "

A big glowing hand approaches him and slaps him away to the deep dark void.

Arthur: Well damn did he or whoever that was have to slap me flying , where am I even going it's so dark (looks up ahead).

Everything suddenly turns to a blinding bright light and muffled sounds of people talking in the background are heard.

"Congratulations it's a healthy baby boy ,I see a future warrior here" says the Midwife with a smile.

####:(*so I've been born again ,it's no longer surprising now.*)

Akira(father):Asura...Asura is his name, a worthy name of our GREAT NOVA CLAN!!

Sora(mother):(holding Asura carefully in her arms)Yes I also think it's fitting for Asura to be his name.

"Good I'll go do the paper work(it's like a birth certificate)while you rest ...Sir ,Madam said the head maid.

Asura was born to a family of 6 with him as the as the last born.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed...

After arriving in a new world without fully understanding how he had died and how he had ended up in this magical place, Asura slowly adapted to a new reality.

The beginning had been very boring for him. Even though he had all his memories from his time on Earth, he had to endure the tortuous journey every baby would take after birth.

For months, he just ate, slept, pooped, and finally, pissed himself.

The experience of waking up in the middle of the night with his private parts and sometimes even his back covered in poop was terrible!

He almost lost all his pride and honor in this dark period of his life.Even though a baby's routine doesn't contain many adventures.He already knew how many things worked,so he hadn't experienced many discoveries.

At first, he didn't really understand what it was. Still, the more time he spent in this place, the more he realized that the fantastic powers the people used were like the magic he had often heard and read about in fiction stories. Through this discovery he learned that he truly was no longer on Earth but a wonderful place.

Which was the [ASTRAL PLATEAU] Realm of the stars!

Which was locationed in the [COSMIC SECTION] RANKING:4th(the last)

After his first months in the [ASTRALPLATEAU], Asura had slowly learned about where he was, the language spoken by his new parents, and that wonderful discovery.

At 7 months, he had learned to respond to a few words, but only at 5 years and 5 months he still hadn't spoken a single word but understands what people said to him and also could walk

By this time Asura was determined to make himself physically and mentally stronger to prepare when he would grow up and leave to explore this new world. Everyday when everyone was asleep he would wake up and exercise doing:

3 push-ups

3 sit-ups

3 squats

And 1hr of meditations

[Patriarch Office]

"Do u think he is ready?"asks Sora to Akira revolving around the office chair then stops to answer the question. "We don't have to time to wait any longer ,we already postponed it last year he will be going through the evaluation tomorrow along with the other children from different Clans." Said Akira with a straight face.

Sora:He hasn't even said he's first words yet not to mention he's a premature he's body is still not strong enough(concerned)

Akira:(serious)My words are final and we already signed the agreement with the other clans we can't cancel now,ask the maids to make preparations for him.

Sora steps out of the office and walks down the hall way then bumps into someone.

To be Continued

A figure creeps up to the Patriarch Office and listens in to the conversation of Akira and Sora.10minutes pass and they are listening in "*hehehe So they finally sending their little brat to the [RITUAL OF VALOR] he ain't lasting 1second in there*"

(Door knobe starts shaking ) The figure rushes across the hallway and turns left and waits for Sora.Then started walk in the same pace she is so they can meet at the center (They bump into each other)

"Oh, goodmorning Vince ." Said Sora passing by continuing here way. Vincent looks back at her while she walks "*bitch*".

Sora turns around and looks at him "*Did I say that out loud*"

"Vince pls tell the head butler to prepare Asura for the Ritual" said Sora ,Vince releases a breath of relief "OK will do" Sora smiles and walks away.

[ Asura's room]

Asura rolls over and sit up then stretches his body "it's been 5years since I've been born here and I'm liking it" (getting off the bed) and was getting down to do push-ups but then hears footsteps coming closer to his room (becomes alert) and the door opens. Through the door crack a pair of silver animal like ears are visible and an intense glare from sharp silver eyes locked on Asura. Asura's gaze meets hers, curious and unflinching but also with slight fear.

The door opens fully and a silver wolf demi-human wearing a maid outfit walks slowly towards Asura who was slowly crawling away because of the aura emanating from the maid."*What is this pressure...it feels like a thousand sumo wrestlers piling on top of me...who is this person*"

"Goodmorning young master Asura,I am Valerie the your new maid and I will training you in the arts of getting stronger(smiles)...hope we get along." she says while still walking towards Asura and grabs his hand and pulls him up his feet then walks with him along the hallway."*I wonder where this scary woman is taking me*"

"Right now I'm going to teach you meditation and mindfulness the first step to being strong" says Valerie. "*if she's saying that it means we are heading to the Training hall speaking of which I've never been there before...it's actually surprising after all these years they pay attention to me for all I remember I've spent more time with Nan-droids(nanny androids)than my own parents lets pack that for later and use this opportunity*"

They pass the entrance of the Training hall and continued walking. Ashura looks at Valerie and points at the door of the Training Hall."Oh no we ain't going there...that's for the weak ,we are going to a better place where the strong train" says Valerie with a smile.Ashura looks away "*Normally when someone says I quote "a better place" they referring to dying...well I wish it ain't*"

After walking for 30minutes they finally arrive at their destination ,a sight worthy to be praised by those of lower level beings.The Nova clan's gateway [Nebula Link] a mythical artifact used for Teleportation. Ashura gazes at the gateway amazement and started feeling the overwhelming sense of the Cosmos as he was standing at the doorway of to the very stars.

(Smacks Ashura on the back of the head)

"Get out of the clouds we didn't come here to admire it."The assistance Android rolls up to then in a fashionable manner."#I am Droid 373 ,May I ask where your destination is?#"."Set destination to the [Terraverde] RANKING:1 of the Macro-Realm." says Valerie.

"#Roger...Destination set#" The Nebula link starts glowing rapidly with different bright colors that swirl in a clockwise motion. Valarie and and Ashura step in the link and they swirl with the colors till they vanish.

[*Artifact wiki*]

Nebula Link is a mystical and ethereal portal used by the Nova Clan to traverse vast distances between realms or worlds of equal rank or lower. Its structure is both captivating and otherworldly, resembling a swirling mass of cosmic dust, vibrant nebulae, and luminous stardust, which constantly shifts and pulses with energy. The portal is not a physical gate but a dynamic, ever-changing rift in space-time, creating an impression of being both a doorway and a living entity.

When activated, the Nebula Link hums with a deep, resonant frequency, the colors of the nebulae within it shifting through shades of violet, azure, and gold. This portal only connects to other portals of the same rank or "Nova Status" — meaning those who wish to use the Link must possess the right standing within the Nova Clan or the associated cosmic hierarchy.

The experience of passing through the Nebula Link is a breathtaking one. Those who step into the swirling colors feel as if they are suspended within the heart of a nebula itself, surrounded by the quiet majesty of distant stars and the hum of cosmic energies. Travel through the portal is instantaneous, though the sensation is one of weightlessness, as if gliding through the very fabric of space.

The portal is not only a means of travel but also a symbol of unity and balance within the Nova Clan, representing the interconnectedness of its members across realms. Only those with the proper attunement to the Link can activate or control it, and the portal's exact locations shift across space, always tied to the Clan's cosmic understanding of time and rank.

In terms of lore, the Nebula Link is considered a living artifact, its creation and maintenance tied to the Nova Clan's ancient bond with the stars and their ability to harness Cosmic energy.
