Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 6 – The Awakening Within
The air in that ruined Training Circle is heavy.
The symbols carved into the ground are still glowing with a faint blue light.
Zerion stands still.
In front of him—
From the darkness of the forest, one after another, Shadow Beasts begin to emerge.
Their red eyes glow.
One…
Two…
Three…
Six…
Then more.
Luna said slowly—
"They're surrounding us."
Zerion took a deep breath.
The System activated instantly—
Energy Control: 8%
Combat Mode Activated
Zerion said in a cold voice—
"Alright… let's begin."
Suddenly—
One Beast leapt forward.
Zerion quickly raised his hand and threw the energy forward.
Blue light spread like an explosion.
BOOM!
The Beast slammed onto the ground.
But—
This time it stood up immediately.
System—
Shadow Beast – Enhanced Variant
Zerion narrowed his eyes.
"They're evolving…"
Just then—
Attacks came from all directions at once.
Zerion stomped the ground and dashed forward.
Energy began to swirl around his body.
A Beast struck toward him.
He lowered his body, dodged the attack, and punched its stomach.
Blue energy exploded.
As another Beast came from the side—
Zerion turned and kicked.
It fell to the ground.
System—
Energy Control: 9%
The fight is getting intense quickly.
Zerion is no longer as slow as before.
His body is moving on its own.
Instinct…
No…
Something more than that.
Suddenly—
A Beast attacked him from behind.
CRASH!
Zerion fell to the ground.
The earth cracked.
Luna immediately stepped forward.
A blade of light ignited in her hand.
With one strike, she cut the Beast down.
She said—
"Focus!"
Zerion clenched his teeth and stood up.
There is fire in his eyes now.
He tried to awaken the power within himself.
The energy around him became denser.
System—
Energy Control: 10%
Zerion dashed forward again.
This time—
His attacks are stronger.
One after another, the Beasts fall.
But—
Their numbers aren't decreasing.
Instead—
More are coming.
The darkness of the forest seems endless.
Luna said slowly—
"…this isn't normal."
At that moment—
All the Beasts suddenly stopped.
The entire place became silent.
Zerion frowned.
"Why did they stop?"
A slight vibration began under the ground.
THUMP… THUMP… THUMP…
The sound is growing.
Zerion looked up.
From the depth of the darkness—
A massive shadow is approaching.
The Shadow Beasts stepped back.
As if they are afraid.
The System suddenly turned red—
WARNING: High-Level Entity Detected
Luna whispered—
"…the Boss is coming."
Breaking through the darkness—
A massive monster emerged.
Its body is like black smoke.
Its eyes burn like fire.
As its foot touched the ground—
The ruins trembled.
Zerion took a deep breath.
The power inside his chest suddenly started shaking strangely.
System—
Threat Level: Extreme
The Boss Beast roared.
The surrounding air trembled.
Then—
It leapt straight toward Zerion.
Zerion stepped forward.
He moved to the side to dodge the attack.
The ground shattered.
He raised his hand and released energy.
BOOM!
But—
The monster didn't stop.
It came forward again.
This time—
Faster.
Zerion went to attack—
But—
The monster grabbed his hand.
In an instant—
It slammed him into the ground.
CRASH!
Blood came out of Zerion's mouth.
System—
HP decreased
Luna shouted—
"Zerion!"
She stepped forward and attacked.
But—
The attack passed through the monster's body.
No damage was dealt.
Luna stepped back.
"…it's not physical…"
Zerion clenched his teeth and stood up.
There is a dark shadow in his eyes now.
He looked at his chest.
The power inside him… it feels like it's calling.
The System suddenly displayed a new message—
Hidden Energy Detected
Zerion whispered—
"…what is this…"
Suddenly—
That vision returned in his mind.
Void.
Endless emptiness.
At its center—
He is sitting there.
A voice echoed—
"Awaken…"
Zerion suddenly closed his eyes.
The air around him began to tremble.
The ground is cracking.
Luna stared in shock—
"This power…!"
The Boss Beast attacked again.
But—
Zerion opened his eyes.
One eye is blue.
The other is black.
He raised his hand and stopped the monster's attack.
Easily.
Zerion said in a cold voice—
"Enough."
From his hand, blue and black energy burst out together.
BOOOOOOM!
The entire place filled with light and darkness.
The monster was blasted backward.
This time—
Its body began to break apart.
For the first time—
It screamed.
Zerion stepped forward.
Energy swirled around him.
He raised his hand.
"Disappear."
In an instant—
The monster completely vanished.
Everything became quiet.
Only the vibration of energy remained in the air.
Zerion stood still for a moment.
Then—
Suddenly his body trembled.
He dropped to his knees.
System—
Energy overload
Luna ran toward him—
"Zerion!"
Zerion said weakly—
"…who… am I…"
His eyes closed.
System—
Energy Control: 15%
New Ability Unlocked: ???
Zerion lost consciousness.
---
Morning.
Sunlight slowly entered the forest.
Zerion slowly opened his eyes.
His body felt heavy.
But—
He could feel it—
He has changed.
Luna is sitting beside him.
She said—
"You've awakened."
Zerion slowly sat up.
"What happened… last night?"
Luna stayed silent for a moment.
Then said—
"You awakened a part of your power."
Zerion looked at his hand.
He tried to summon the energy.
Blue and black energy ignited together.
System—
Energy Control Stable
Zerion slowly stood up.
There is determination in his eyes.
He knows—
This is just the beginning.
Something far greater awaits him ahead.
And—
His past…
Is slowly returning.

Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 6 – The Awakening Within
Part 2
Morning has fully descended into the forest.
Sunlight passes through the gaps in the trees and falls over the ruins.
The broken stones of the Training Circle are now clearly visible.
But—
The air in that place is still abnormal.
Zerion stands slowly.
His eyes are steady.
He is looking at his own hand.
Blue… and black energy.
Both are flowing out through the gaps of his fingers and then merging again.
He said slowly—
"…I couldn't do this before."
The System immediately appeared—
Energy Control: 15% (Stable)
New Energy Type: Unknown
Analysis: Incomplete
Zerion narrowed his eyes.
"Unknown?"
Luna was standing beside him.
She said calmly—
"Your power isn't something ordinary."
Zerion looked at her.
"You said before… I'm different."
Luna stayed silent for a moment.
There was a strange look in her eyes.
"…You'll know when the time comes."
Zerion didn't say anything.
But inside him, a question kept circling—
Who is he, really?
Suddenly—
The System gave a new notification.
New Quest Available
Zerion frowned.
"Quest?"
The screen appeared—
---
Quest: Explore the Ruins Core
Objective: Reach the inner core of the Training Zone
Reward: Unknown
Warning: Danger Level High
---
Zerion said slowly—
"We have to go inside the ruins…"
Luna nodded.
"I know that place."
Zerion looked at her—
"You've been here before?"
Luna didn't answer.
She only said—
"Let's go."
The two slowly began moving deeper into the ruins.
---
The deeper they go—
The darker it becomes.
Fewer trees.
More stones.
And the air feels heavier.
Zerion looked around.
"There's… something here."
System—
Warning: Residual Energy detected
Suddenly—
Some markings appeared on the ground.
Old.
Broken.
But—
They are glowing.
Luna stopped.
"…those are seal marks."
Zerion crouched down to look.
The symbols are strange.
His eyes suddenly trembled.
For a moment—
He remembered.
These symbols…
He has seen them before.
No—
He drew them himself.
Zerion suddenly grabbed his head.
"Ah—!"
Luna quickly said—
"What happened?"
Zerion, breathing heavily, said—
"…I was remembering something…"
The System immediately warned—
Memory Seal reacting
Zerion stopped.
"…Memory… seal?"
Luna became slightly serious.
"…there's a lot hidden inside you."
Zerion slowly raised his head.
There is suspicion in his eyes.
But—
He didn't ask anything more.
---
The two continued forward.
After some distance—
A massive stone door appeared in front of them.
Old.
Broken.
Yet—
A strange energy is coming out of it.
System—
Target Location Found
Zerion stood in front of the door.
The power inside his chest began to tremble again.
Luna said slowly—
"…what's inside isn't something ordinary."
Zerion extended his hand.
He touched the door.
Suddenly—
The door began to tremble on its own.
GRRRRR…
It slowly started to open.
Cold air came out from inside.
And—
A strange energy.
Zerion narrowed his eyes.
"Let's go."
The two entered inside.
---
Inside is विशाल.
Like a cave.
Strange symbols on the walls.
At the center—
A circular space.
And in its middle—
A black stone is floating.
Energy is slowly coming out of the stone.
The System suddenly began to glitch—
Error… Error…
Zerion frowned.
"What's happening—"
Suddenly—
The stone lit up.
The entire cave began to shake.
Luna shouted—
"Get back!"
But—
Zerion didn't move.
His eyes are fixed on the stone.
The power inside him seems to be resonating with it.
He slowly moved forward.
Luna shouted—
"Zerion! Stop!"
Zerion extended his hand.
His fingers reached the stone.
And—
Touched it.
In an instant—
Everything changed.
---
Darkness.
That Void again.
Zerion is standing.
In front of him—
A massive entity.
No—
It's not someone else.
It is him.
A voice echoed—
"Finally… you came back."
Zerion said slowly—
"…who am I?"
The entity smiled.
"You… are the beginning of everything."
Zerion's eyes trembled.
Countless memories flashed in his mind.
Universe…
Multiverse…
God…
Demon…
Everything.
He dropped to his knees.
"These… are mine…?"
The voice said—
"You broke yourself."
"You hid yourself."
"You forgot yourself."
Zerion clenched his teeth—
"Why…?"
The voice remained calm—
"Because you were alone."
"And you… wanted to see life."
Zerion closed his eyes.
His body is trembling.
"I… created everything…?"
"God… Demon… Human…"
The voice said—
"Yes."
"And now…"
"You are awakening again."
---
Suddenly—
Everything shattered.
Zerion returned to the cave.
He is on his knees.
His hand still on the stone.
The stone is now cracking.
CRACK… CRACK…
The System activated again—
New Power Syncing…
Luna said in fear—
"Zerion! Move away!"
But—
It's too late.
The stone exploded.
BOOOOOOM!
Light spread everywhere.
Zerion's body filled with energy.
His eyes ignited—
Blue and black.
System—
Energy Control: 20%
Zerion slowly stood up.
Energy swirled around him.
He looked at his hand.
This time—
He clearly understands.
This power…
Is his own.
Luna is silently watching.
"…you're changing."
Zerion said slowly—
"No…"
"…I'm returning."
The cave began to shake again.
The walls are collapsing.
System—
Warning: Collapse imminent
Luna shouted—
"Let's go! We have to get out!"
Zerion nodded.
The two quickly ran toward the exit.
Behind them—
The entire cave is collapsing.
Dust… stone… destruction.
At the last moment—
They got outside.
Behind them—
The cave completely collapsed.
Everything became silent.
Zerion is breathing heavily.
He looked at the sky.
Now there is only one thing in his eyes—
The beginning of the truth.
(°_°)
Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 6 – The Awakening Within
Part 3
After the collapse of the ruins cave, dust is scattered all around.
The air is heavy.
The silence is unnatural.
Zerion slowly stood up straight.
His chest is rising and falling.
But—
His eyes are no longer calm.
Deep.
Filled with darkness.
Something inside him has changed.
Luna watched him silently for a few seconds.
Then she said—
"…are you okay?"
Zerion took a moment.
Then slowly nodded.
"Yes… but…"
He stopped.
His eyes are fixed somewhere far away.
"…I saw something."
Luna frowned.
"What?"
Zerion took a deep breath.
"Void… a place… where nothing exists."
"And there…"
He closed his eyes.
"…I saw myself."
Luna went silent.
A flash of fear appeared in her eyes.
"…can you remember?"
Zerion slowly shook his head.
"Not all… but fragments."
"I… created something…"
"Something vast…"
Luna didn't say anything.
She just looked at the sky.
It feels like—she already knows all this.
Zerion spoke again—
"And a voice…"
"It said… I am the beginning of everything."
Silence.
A few seconds.
Then—
Luna said slowly—
"…maybe it wasn't lying."
Zerion looked at her.
"What do you mean?"
Luna looked directly into his eyes.
"Your power… doesn't belong to this world."
"You're not just a human."
Zerion stayed silent for a moment.
The energy inside him moved slightly again.
He said slowly—
"…then what am I?"
Luna didn't answer.
She just said—
"That's not important right now."
"First… you need to survive."
Zerion smiled faintly.
"Fair enough."
But—
Deep in his eyes, a fire is burning.
He knows—
He will find the answer.
---
At that moment—
The System activated again.
New Area Unlocked: Outer Ruins – Depth Zone
New Threat Detected
Zerion frowned.
"Something's coming again…"
Luna looked around.
The air is getting heavy again.
Suddenly—
A strange sound from the forest.
SHHHH… SHHHH…
Something is moving.
Slowly.
But—
This is not like the previous Beasts.
This time—
A much colder presence.
Zerion raised his hand.
He activated his energy.
Blue and black light ignited together.
System—
Energy Control: 20% Stable
Suddenly—
From between the trees emerged—
A strange entity.
Humanoid.
But—
Its body is like a shadow.
Its eyes are completely white.
No pupils.
Luna whispered—
"…Wraith…"
Zerion looked at it.
"What is that?"
Luna answered—
"They're not Beasts…"
"They are… lost souls."
Zerion narrowed his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"The ones who died here… their energy…"
"It became corrupted."
The Wraith slowly raised its head.
Its eyes locked directly onto Zerion.
Suddenly—
It vanished.
Zerion reacted instantly.
He jumped back.
A moment later—
The Wraith struck where he was standing.
The ground cracked.
Zerion said—
"Fast…"
Luna shouted—
"They can teleport!"
The Wraith vanished again.
Zerion closed his eyes.
He focused on the energy inside him.
Energy spread around his body.
Suddenly—
He felt it.
Behind him.
He turned—
And extended his hand.
The Wraith was about to attack again—
But—
Zerion grabbed its neck.
In an instant.
The Wraith trembled.
Zerion opened his eyes.
There is a cold light in them now.
"Got you…"
He tightened his grip.
Blue and black energy exploded together.
BOOM!
The Wraith turned into smoke and vanished.
System—
Enemy eliminated
Energy Control: 21%
Zerion took a slow breath.
"…I can feel their movement now."
Luna stared in shock—
"…you're adapting."
Zerion remained calm—
"No… it feels like I already knew."
---
But—
The fight isn't over.
That same sound again around them.
SHHHH…
More Wraiths.
Not just one.
Many.
They are slowly surrounding them.
Zerion said in a cold voice—
"This time… all at once."
He stepped forward.
Energy swirling around him.
The first Wraith attacked.
Zerion moved aside and struck.
The second—
He turned and kicked.
The third—
He directly released energy.
One after another—
Everything is being destroyed.
System—
Energy Control: 22%… 23%…
Zerion doesn't stop.
His body is fighting on its own.
There is no fear in his eyes now.
Only—
Control.
Suddenly—
All the Wraiths stopped.
Zerion stood still.
Smoke around him.
Silence.
Then—
A voice echoed.
Deep.
Strange.
"…interesting…"
Zerion narrowed his eyes.
"Who?"
From the darkness slowly emerged—
A man.
No…
Not entirely human.
Half of his body is light…
The other half is darkness.
His eyes are glowing.
Luna stepped back.
"…this is bad."
Zerion said—
"Who are you?"
The entity smiled faintly.
"I am… the guardian of this place."
"And you…"
He looked at Zerion.
"…you have finally arrived."
Zerion froze.
"You know me?"
The Guardian slowly nodded.
"I've been waiting for a long time."
The energy inside Zerion's chest began to tremble again.
"…why?"
There is a strange light in the Guardian's eyes—
"Because…"
"…you are the creator."
Silence.
It felt like the air itself stopped.
Zerion's eyes trembled.
"…what did you say?"
The Guardian stepped forward.
"You created everything."
"And now…"
"…you have returned."
Zerion said nothing.
But—
The power inside him suddenly flared up.
The air around him trembled.
Luna looked at him—
"…Zerion…"
The Guardian smiled.
"Let's see…"
"…how much you can remember."
Suddenly—
He raised his hand.
The entire place was swallowed by darkness.
(°_°)
Origin of the Infinite Worlds
Chapter 6 – The Awakening Within
Part 4
Darkness.
Everything disappeared in an instant.
The forest… the ruins… Luna—
Everything.
Zerion is standing.
In an endless emptiness.
Void.
Again.
His breathing slowly became heavy.
"…this place again…"
There is nothing around.
No light.
No sound.
Only—
Silence.
Suddenly—
A light appeared in front of him.
Slowly, it began to grow larger.
And from within that light—
The Guardian emerged.
But—
This time, his form is different.
More massive.
More terrifying.
One side of his body is pure light…
The other side is pure darkness.
He said slowly—
"This place…"
"…is your own creation."
Zerion narrowed his eyes.
"…I can't remember."
The Guardian smiled faintly.
"But you can feel it."
Silence.
Zerion placed his hand on his chest.
The power inside him is unstable.
Shaking.
As if something is trying to come out.
The Guardian spoke again—
"You created everything…"
"Universe… Multiverse… God… Demon…"
"And in the end…"
"…you broke yourself."
Zerion clenched his teeth—
"Why?!"
The Void trembled.
The Guardian's voice deepened—
"Because…"
"…you were alone."
Zerion froze.
His eyes trembled.
The Guardian slowly stepped forward.
"Infinite power…"
"Infinite time…"
"But…"
"…no companion."
Zerion's breathing became heavier.
Countless visions appeared in his mind.
Emptiness…
Loneliness…
Endless time…
He dropped to his knees.
"…I…"
His voice trembled—
"…I created everything… just so I wouldn't be alone?"
The Guardian stopped.
For a moment, there was a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
"…yes."
Zerion closed his eyes.
The power inside him suddenly tried to explode.
The System appeared—
Memory Seal Breaking… 12%
Zerion grabbed his head and screamed—
"AAAA—!"
The Void trembled.
Light and darkness began merging around him.
The Guardian watched silently.
"Remember more…"
"…Zerion."
The moment he heard that name—
Zerion suddenly stopped.
His eyes opened.
Now, his eyes are no longer just blue…
Nor just black…
But—
Filled with infinite depth.
"…this name…"
"…mine…"
The Guardian nodded.
"Your true name."
Zerion slowly stood up.
Energy swirled around him.
The Void trembled.
He said slowly—
"…Zerion…"
"Creator of Everything…"
In an instant—
A massive power burst out from his body.
The Void began to crack.
System—
Energy Control: 25%
The Guardian narrowed his eyes.
"…good."
"You've started to remember."
Zerion looked at him.
"Who are you?"
The Guardian smiled faintly.
"I am your creation."
"The guardian of this place."
"Until you return…"
"…I have been waiting."
Zerion stayed silent for a moment.
Then said—
"Then…"
"…why are you testing me?"
The Guardian answered—
"Because…"
"…you are not fully awakened yet."
"And if you are not ready…"
"…your power will destroy everything again."
Silence.
Determination appeared in Zerion's eyes.
"…then stop me."
The Guardian smiled slightly.
"I will try."
Suddenly—
He raised his hand.
The Void trembled.
Countless lights and darkness rushed toward Zerion.
Zerion stood still.
He closed his eyes.
He gathered the power inside him.
Blue and black energy swirled around him.
Then—
He opened his eyes.
"I won't run."
He stepped forward.
And—
The two powers collided together.
BOOOOOOOOM!
The Void shattered.
Everything was covered in white light.
---
Zerion suddenly opened his eyes.
He is back in the forest.
In front of him—
The Guardian stands.
But—
This time, he is smiling.
"…pass."
Zerion is breathing heavily.
His body is exhausted.
But—
There is power in his eyes.
The Guardian said—
"You are still weak…"
"But…"
"…you are on the right path."
Zerion said slowly—
"…what's next?"
The Guardian stepped back.
His body is slowly fading away.
"Move forward…"
"…you will remember everything."
Zerion said—
"Will I see you again?"
The Guardian's voice echoed—
"…when you are ready."
In an instant—
He disappeared.
Everything became calm again.
The forest wind slowly blows.
Luna is standing beside him.
She is staring at Zerion deeply.
"…you've changed."
Zerion looked at the sky.
There is no hesitation in his eyes now.
"…no…"
"…I've started to remember."
The System appeared—
Energy Control: 25%
Memory Seal: 12% Broken
New Title Unlocked: Fragmented Creator
Zerion slowly began walking.
In front of him—
An unknown path.
But—
This time he knows.
At the end of this path—
Lies his true identity.
(°_°)
He wasn't becoming stronger…
He was remembering who he truly was—the one who created everything.
