Mr. First was the name of the only god. He appeared everywhere. harvesting dao, sowing seeds and proving them.

He has been passionately gathering seeds to be eternal.

An old saying, five dao was five paths to the end.

The dao shattered. Karma. Loop its back.

…. What happened? Where was this place? My head hurt.

The room was so dark. My body was fine. I guessed.

My eyesight was still blurry.

“You are finally awake? huh, what's your name?”

My name? Phil. NO! My name is Zera. He was speaking in english.

I see it was not a transmigration or that kind of novel thingy.

“Zera. that’s my name”

“You are so young, so tender. with a cute name. they strike a profit.”

“What? What profit?”

“...”

I realize I'm in danger. The guard heard the conversation. They found out I was awake.

“And your? how can I call you?”

I was looking around but there was no one. Not even a soul.

“YOU AWAKE? Who are you talking to?”

“Nothing.”

Must have been the wind. It must have been the wind.

The guard squinted his eyes. He opened the cell’s door.

And came inside looking around for a second.

He found nothing and turned his head toward me.

He slowly raised the baton and swung it at me.

“Don’t you dare”

A woman's sound rose from outside of the cell.

The gray-clad robe woman appeared irritated by the guard's actions.

The Guard was taken aback and trembled slightly.

“Bring him to my room”

“Y-yess, Ma’am”

What a girl. So powerful and dangerous. I had a feeling I should be wary of this woman.

What was that medieval-looking robe? Too authentic to be a costume.

I got handcuffed and led to a cold-looking room by the guard.

It appeared to be constructed of stone slabs with wooden decorations.

A massive rune was engraved on every single tile on the floor,

which was concealed by enormous leather of unknown animal fur.

“You. What’s your name? Nevermind I will call you Zost”

She observed me intently. I must not show any sign of weakness.I matched her stare.

“Good. Zost, you will be my disciple and my assistant”

“What kind of disciple and how can I assist you? I don't have any...”

“Just shut up and do as I say. Understand?”

“Y-yes..”

Why did she want me to assist her?

Why did I get the impression that she had no affection towards me?

On the table, there were 5 stones. Each one's colors were red, blue, green, yellow, and black.

“Nature's power is contained in these stones."

"We are known as mage. We control nature by guiding it.”

Nod nod. So, I actually transmitted to this world. Nod nod.

And this body was owned by That Phil. Oh, poor soul.

“Choose one, then go back to your room. Tomorrow morning come find me at the field”

Those stones, I could feel it. The black stone resonated with me. my desire. I wanted it.

“Don’t choose the black one. Choose blue”

Who!! That the voice. Sounded similar. That was the first sound I heard in the cell. Don’t panic. Calm down. Calm down.

I hesitated but I kind of trusted that guy. I didn’t know why. So I picked up the blue stone.

She looked at me for a second before showing no sight of emotion again.

“Just leave already”

“Yes, Ma’am”

“May I ask what your name is? Master”

“Just call me Ma'am. And nothing else”

“Yes, Ma’am”

I walked to the guard. Then he brought me back to the cell. What the.. I’m her disciple.

Why on earth did she let me stay in jail? Atleast dont cuff my hands. Internal agony, arghh

I heard a soullessly howl that I had never heard before in my life..

“Zera. Or should I call you Zost?”

“Live your life, trust no one. Including me”

“I’m your protector. When the time comes I will tell you my name.”

“Don’t reveal all of your skills. Or you will die sooner”

What was this? Was it me talking to myself? Or ghost?!!!! I sweated profoundly.

It was unmistakably a ghost.

I wasn't sure why but I believed my intuition. It wasn't always like this.

“I know you have many questions but I don't have time.”

“Remember trust. No. One..”

That was not a dying word right? Definitely not, he was already dead. How can someone die twice?

How to trust no one when I didn't even know who I was. Who were my parents? My townhome. My past life. I’m zera .. no, my name is zost.
