《Ain't No Rest for the Wicked》Ancient War Of God And Magus
Advertisement
In the Aryana Continent, there are innumerable tales and epics singing stories and praises to the great era as well as the tragedy of the legendary wars. There are so many bards and scholars sharing various of old stories and many a time in their own version too, that it's rather hard to distinguish what is actually a fact or just a tale fabricated to please and awe others.
But the one thing that stood out the most is the history and meaning behind the battle aura and the myth surrounding them. People seek to understand what they held in high regards so there are no lacks of immortal tales and historic book detailing their origin.
One such is the epic War of Magus and Gods. This was an epic held in highest regards by almost every scholar, it depicts the conflict between the magi and the gods thousands of years ago.
The tale has always captivated the people of Aryana and has even been accepted as a part of their culture and history.
Legend says that thousands of years ago, the world was rife with magic and great magi and sages dominated the world. The era was of the truth seekers who only care about unearthing the mysteries of the world. Their quest was unending and their power were monstrous, trailing through the path of truth and submerging into unending riddles and paradox of nature, they were able to establish themselves as the sovereign rulers.
They soon reached a point where the continent wasn't good enough to quench their thirst so, they stepped into the vast and infinite cosmic world trying to search for more and reach greater heights in their conquest as they set off to the stars in search for other planar worlds. Those ancient Magus were extremely mysterious and smart but outside their comfort zone and onto a foreign greater stage they quickly become aware of the fact, that they were weaker in prowess in a combat against the warriors and protector of other planes.
After they had made countless expeditions and invested their everything, they won't just back down now after a bit of setback, and the one thing that Magus were most proud of, were their ability to learn and invent! They integrated the various worlds knowledge and found unimaginable ways to strengthen themselves in the path of chasing the truth. They made drastic changes in their thinking, many failed and were doomed but their failure always motivated them to keep going, each mistake was a lesson and through those lesson and endeavor they soon brought the other planes on their knees, the Magi sweep the planer wars achieving victory after victory, they integrated and devour the world's resources and it's knowledge as it acted as an elixir which made them more dangerous and powerful. They become a class feared by all for their ways and techniques.

Through those numerous methods to reach greater power level and gain ability to retaliate and conquer the planes, there was one which was in a class of itself.
Various magi in search of power turned their attention to myriads of magical beasts and their superior physical strength, they wanted to tame them but it wasn't worth it because the beast that they could tame were of relatively low intelligence and could not efficiently comprehend the magi's instructions, while on the other hand those ancient creatures who could be powerful as well as intelligent weren't possible to tame.
And the magical beasts usually ended up destroying everything and ruin their target which wasn't in accordance to the truth seeker who desired to gain as much profits as possible. The rationality was also a difficult problem. They can order those magical beast but they cannot change it's frenzied nature.
Finally, after long periods of brainstorming, experimenting, testing and studying the magi got a spark of inspiration from a certain cosmic tribe as they retrieved the bloodline from the ancient creatures and injected those bloodline into Magus. Those bloodline soon achieved a greater status because they were capable of doing everything a magi could and in addition they had greater power but eventually they also faces their downfall.
But the idea once manifested, especially when it yielded amazing results is not easy to give up so, those Bloodline Magus who were termed "Battle Sorcerer" kept on conducting more experiment in this field and eventually they took blood from strong magical beasts and transition that into humans who could not train in the art of magic, and through the use of a magic formation, coupled with their hundreds of years of understanding and exploring of blood, Battle Aura was manifested.
The very idea of turning the huge and ever growing common population into warriors capable of fight was thrilling and inspiring.
As expected, Battle Aura totally changed the world of humans. Those ancient scripture which were impossible for humans to even dream of gaining anything from, were no longer as unreachable as before. Obviously Battle Aura users weren't a match for the true rulers of the magi world but as they have now find a way to achieve strength, a certain status also followed them. Various technique were studied which resulted in the formation of a new path and possessing a different power techniques to train in Battle Aura.

The magically inept humans trieved against magical beasts without the protection of the magi. They were an excellent choice for subordinates, not only were they capable, powerful and logical Battle Aura users were also beings under their control. This helped in greatly lessening the magi's responsibilities to protect and direct the humans and civilization in all the ruled planes hence, allowing them more time to pursue their own interests, it also provided the magi with a formidable army.
Following the discovery and successful result of it's practice, various other types of blood from different magical beasts were integrated into the human body and thus different types of Battle Aura attributes were identified. This provided for a matching and more appreciated myriad of skills which raised the overall quality of the research value.
Battle Aura awakening and training occurred with the aid of magical formations and various other otherworldly aids. Of course, the resources spend were proportionate to the gains If not then the greedy and miser Magi would have dropped this project long ago.
The Battle Sorcerer also categorized the different ranks of power and their difference in abilities. The battle sorcerer were far and few because their conditions to nurture were much strict so, the Battle Aura users were their vassals in extension and also were their assets. With the extensive research conducted by them, Battle Aura training got easier and faster and humans with Battle Aura started showing up everywhere, with their training speeds getting faster and faster. In time, The unfathomable peak realm of Battle Aura User, Sword Gods roamed the world and Sword Saints were littered all over the place.
Those thousand years were the most glorious era of the humans. The countless planes conquered by them supplied Aryana with an massive amount of resources and riches. The glory of that era could only be imagined and it would still be a underestimate, Battle Aura users were everywhere as it became the most usual power cultivation method. Various geniuses rose which even attracted the attention of the ancient Battle Sorcerer's and the living, cultivation and training conditions were unimaginable lavish.
At that time, the enchanting beautiful elves danced for the humans, the gourmet plane chief's cooked them wondrous delicacies, the stone race built them majestic palaces, the proud dragons and phoenix served as their mounts, the various ancient creatures served to their command; all the other races revered the humans and treated them with utmost respect and fear.
However, something drastic happened which sparked the beginning of the end and led to the downfall of the whole human dominance.
Some expert Magi explorers of the boundless void discovered that they were not the only ones with unimaginable strength in fact, they was a race much more fearsome and unfathomable than them. In the far edge of the astral plane they found the evidence of a world filled with resources. The magi discovered to their astonishment and greed that all the resources they have plundered and were available in the countless planes did not even come close up to quantity and quality of the resources on the plane of at the far edge. Both of their worlds were at the opposite far edges and in an estimated way, it could be announced that they occupy the two half of the whole void.
On that plane were countless high grade magical materials, the purest of resources as well as the legendary technique and practice, as well as the key to the secrets of immortality.
The name of that plane came to be the Origin God plane.

Core .001
This is a story of Shiro, a 12 year old girl who wished to adventure around the world. Only to end up in an untimely death. When she wakes up, she finds herself in what seems to be a new world, and her body has changed to that of a catkin. Using her knowledge from knowing literature of people in similar situations and adventuring, she tries to make a place for herself in this new world. Only to find out that reality is far crueler than one would imagine. Even with what one would call an OP unique skill and other OP advantages, she finds things quickly fall apart regardless how hard she tries. Thus she seeks more and more power to not only survive, but to protect what is important to her. Unbeknownst to her though, lies within her an ancient power time primordial. A power so vast it can bring anything to its knees. This ancient power can easily be unlocked with just one sentence, but this sentence shall never be spoken. Instead, Shiro will embark on a new path to gaining a new different kind of power as she moves forward in this new world. WARNING: The first few volumes will have tragedy, which will disappear at around Volume 5 or 6. From then on it will be just pure OP-ness and having fun. While I personally like OP characters and don’t like tragedies myself, I think it is unrealistic that a person goes to an unknown and everything just magically go their way via plot armor. So I wanted to build up a more realistic OP reincarnation novel where MC struggles through a new world regardless of their advantages due to gaps in knowledge (despite how prepared she was) and simply not having enough strength at the time. ------------------------------------------- This is my first poor attempt at a story. I read a lot of novels overall and was in the mood to see how well I can write one. Expect a lot of mistakes here and there as I am pretty new to writing. Releases should be about 2 times a week(changed due to chapter size pretty much doubling) unless stated otherwise or inbetween volumes. I will at least commit to finishing the volume I am on (Nothing worse than a story being cut off mid story). So give me your comments what you think. I don't mind if the comments are bad and etc. Just lay off the grammar nazi (My only weakness)
