High above the sky, hidden in the clouds was an island. The island was massive and had many types of biome of its own. In the middle of the island was a massive tree that towered over the island.

Around the islands in the biome, one could see many houses. Angels were flying around in the sky with exotic creatures flying with them. In the ocean biome, an angel was currently looking through the data of the ocean. The data was collected by their island mana and told them of the event happening in the world.

Looking through the data the angel found that Tyroceous was dead. He quickly became surprised and shocked after seeing this. Tyroceous was one of their allies and the fact that he died meant something was amiss. Collecting more data he found that Tyroceous died to a serpent. After collecting more data he messaged an archangel with the information.

In a beautiful garden in the ocean biome, an archangel who was currently playing violin opened her eyes. She quickly dissected the information. After a few moments, she stopped playing her violin and spread her wings. Her black hair fell from her shoulder and she flew towards the tree at the center of the island.

After a while of flying over the massive island, she soon reached the tree. The tree was called the Anola Tree and it was the tree that made the angels a powerhouse in this world. She flew up towards the top of the Anola Tree and soon reached it.

After reaching the top she found a giant birdcage. Walking towards the cage she opened it and stepped inside. Inside the golden cage was a bed and on it was a gorgeous woman. She was blond with golden eyes. Another thing about her was that her entire body on the right side was filled with red cracks. Getting up from the bed she cracked her neck and stretched herself.

The angel who came into the cage knelt towards her. The reason was because the angel in front of her was the one and only supreme angel. The supreme angel looked at her and she felt all her secrets were being revealed.

“What is it that you have for me child.”

“I bring news of the death of Tyroceous.”

The supreme angel thought about the news. She spread her perception and connected her mana with the angel information network. Soon she got information that not only was Tyroceous dead, but also Golian the mountain walker.

Tyroceous and Golian were valuable allies against the forces of evil who were the demons. Although their death seemed to be the schemes of demons, there was nothing that suggested so. She decided to gather more information before making a decision.

From the continent of Mianol where Golian lived, she found out about the resurrection of Galvion. The elves were putting a force to be reckoned with. Their intention were to kill Galvion. Everything seemed normal there until she collected information about Green Flower.

She saw the three giants and collected information from them. She found out that they were left by a forest goddess named Jill and when she tried to dig deeper into the statue she felt a presence look at her from the beyond.

“Well well, what do we have here.”

The presence was vague and she couldn't see it clearly but it soon revealed its figure. It was a purple-haired rugged man with scars on his body. The man grinned madly at her but she showed no fear. She had lived for thousands of year's and she got use to most surprises quickly.

“That's weird, you're not scared of me. Well, that's to be expected since your probably an old foggy to be able to penetrate through my statue information. Say, what's your name? My name is Jay.”

“My name is Waking Star.”

“Seem like a cringy name if you ask me. Anyway are you here about the death of that mountain walker and sea dragon?”

She widens her eyes with a little in surprise. “Were you the one who killed them?”

The man smiled. “Yep.”

“Then you should realize that you've made an enemy with me and that tomorrow might be your last day.”

The man started laughing at what she said. She looked at this strange and weird man. Perhaps he wasn't right in the head. The man stopped laughing and coughed.

“For your information Waking Star. I've already located your location while we were talking. I've also estimated your strength. Let's just say your not the only rank 5 around here.”

She became shocked and wondered how it was possible but quickly disconnected from the man. Back at the Anola Tree she quickly activated its defense system. She then removed all trackers on the island and Anola Tree. She then teleported the whole island away. After teleporting the island she became calm again.

Looking at the angel kneeling before her in confusion she spoke. “My child, get the best mana engineer and strengthen our network defense. I also want you to go to the world below and launch an investigation on this man named Jay. Be careful though, if he spots you, use this whistle and I’ll be there by your side quickly.”

The angel before her nods and went out of the cage. She wanted to leave the cage and confront the man, but the supreme demon might get suspicious and start a war. Her golden eyes stared into the beyond and wondered where the man was.

The man or boy was currently thinking about the angel he saw on the island. The angel was weaker than him but it gave off a sense of danger. Jay had met many dangers throughout his life but this was the first time he felt something so threatening.

He wondered when he’ll meet this angel called Waking Star again. The name was most likely fake, but that was kind of hard to tell in this world. Deciding to quit thinking about it, he went back to sleep.

In the forest, Tesra was currently weaving through trees from danger. Behind her was a pack of raptors. They all screeched and chased after her. She didn't panic though and just kept running. Seeing a tree she ran behind it.

A raptor followed in and got its head chopped off. The other pounced towards her and she dodged out of the way while slicing raptors after raptors. Seeing that they couldn't win the raptors decided to run away.

Cloaking her sword with fire and wind she sent slash forth which instantly scorched and killed the raptors. The fire started burning the trees and grass but she put it out with water. Currently, Tesra was at peak rank 0. For someone her age that was extremely impressive unless one compared her to Stake who was only five years old.

Feeling her strength rise again, Tesra decided to go for bigger prey. Going into the forest she spotted a giant snake. The snake was low rank 1 and hissed at her. Its dark scales shine and its blue eyes were piercing. Holding her sword she stared at the snake preparing to fight and the snake got ready to instakill her with a single jaw bite.

Tests reinforced her body and the snake reinforced its body. She dashed forward and the snake struck towards. Dodging the snake’s head to the side she sliced its head off which killed it instantly.

After killing it instantly she did not feel that she ranked up. Deciding that the snake was too weak for her, she went for bigger preys. She went deeper into the forest and a black tiger popped out from the grass. She dodged the tiger and stared at it while preparing to fight it.

Before the tiger attacked again, a money slammed down on it and proceeded to beat it to death. After getting its fists bloody, the monkey stood up on its hind leg to a height of three meters. Its tail swung rhythmically from its back. It stared at Tesra like it was looking at its prey.

Tesra knew it was using its trait to paralyze her and it was working. Her legs didn't seem to work the way she wanted to. The monkey started walking towards her slowly while staring at her with its black eyes and grinned.

“What a sick monkey,” a voice spoke from above.

Stone spear pierced up from the ground and into the monkey's body. Jay clone came down and it screeched. Its monkey brethren came from the forest to rescue it, but they were all squash to a bloody pulp by telekinesis. Jay clone was mad, really mad. He didn't know why he was mad but he felt that the monkey's attitude really pissed him off. He looked at Tesra who was no longer shaking.

“Leave, I'm going to torture this monkey for a few days,” the clone said flatly.

“It's an innocent animal, why would you do that?” Tesra asked not knowing.

“I forgot that you were still young, maybe one day you'll understand,” the clone replied.

She looked at him with hardened eyes of innocence. “I don't understand, so tell me so that I can understand.”

Jay clone looked at the monkey who was quiet and in pain. He then looked at Tesra.

“I can not tell you so that you understand, but I can show you,” the clone said while unsure.

His body started to transform into that of Jill and the monkey broke free. The monkey didn't run though and its eyes changed. Jay’s clone tied Tesra to a tree with a rope and he sat down. The monkey came close to Jill and stretched out it's hand. The clone clothes started tearing.

Tesra saw this and started screaming an animalistic sound of hatred. The monkey was about to be upon Jill until the illusion disappeared. Tesra was still tied to a tree with bloodshot eyes and bloodied fingers. She looked at Jay’s clone who was no longer Jill and the monkey who was still incapacitated with spears piercing through its body.

“That was an illusion of what I showed you. I did not expect that you would be this enraged over something happening to Jill.”

Jay’s clone untied her and she fell to the ground.

“Are you ok?” He asked her calmly.

Tesra didn't speak and thought about what was going to happen to Jill. She knew it was fake but she felt raw hatred seeing it. She had experienced hate before but not this raw. She could now understand why Jay’s clone wanted to torture the monkey. She looked at the monkey and saw its former intention.

“Can I torture it?” Tests asked calmly.

Jay’s clone became surprised. This was not what a ten-year-old kid was supposed to say. Perhaps he shouldn't have done that.

“If you're going to be like this, then I shouldn't have shown you the truth,” he replied flatly.

Tesra became quiet and then looked at him. “Jill always said ignorance was bliss, I despise ignorance. I despise blissfulness,” she said calmly.

Jay’s clone was about to speak until a girl flew into the forest looking very worried. Tesra saw it was Jill and Jill came close to her and hugged her. Tesra felt the hatred in her heart subsided but when she looked at the monkey, it only ignited more. She wanted to burn the monkey right here and now.

Three more figures came flying in. They were all boys who seemed about ten years old. They all had silver hair and silver eyes. They all seemed like triplets. One had a lab coat with glasses, one was in a leather jacket with jeans, and the other was in a Hawaii shirt with short pants. She looked at them and became confused.

“They’re the other me’s,” Jill spoke quietly while hugging her.

“The man in the white coat is Jelly, the one in leather jacket is Jack, and the one in Hawaii short is JJ,” Jill said with a calm voice.

Jack came close to the monkey. “You want a banana little fella?”

Jack pulled out a banana and held it to its face. The monkey only screeched at him.

“Why you gotta be actin' like a monkey man,” Jack said and sighed.

“Ah aha ha e e o ah ah.” The monkey screeched loudly.

“No more monkey business Jack,” said Jelly.

Jack and JJ looked at Jelly while cringing.

“You can do better,” said JJ.

Jelly became a little sad at that. JJ looked at the clone and spoke softly. “Take these two away.”

The clone nodded and flew away with them.

“Now then, time to get back to monkeying around,” said JJ.

Jelly and Jack cringed at him.

“Let all agree that only Jack will be monkeying around,” said Jelly.

“Let's all stop with the monkey joke,” said Jack.

They all nodded and looked at the monkey.

“Unfortunately for you, there's no animal activist here to protect you,” said JJ.

“Let's make it a quick death,” said Jelly.

“I say we shove a banana up...”

Before Jack could finish, the two used mana to make his words disappear. Going back to the money, they started ticking it to death. If one being on the verge of death made one absorb mana quicker. Then maybe this monkey could do the same if it was dying of laughter.

At the beach, there were three people. Jill was sitting in a chair and hugging Tesra, who was on her lap. Tesra eyes seemed to have been crying. Jay’s clone stood to the side and said nothing.

“Wanna leave this island tomorrow Tesra?” Jill said softly.

Tesra wanted to say yes because she still had to train and Jill saw through that.

“We can train elsewhere, this place got bad memories, thanks to someone,” said Jill.

Jay’s clone only did a sweatshop.

“Tomorrow let's go to a nice kingdom and shop around for food and clothing ok? I heard that's what girls seem to like doing.”

Tesra nodded and she fell asleep. Jill sighed, thinking a ten-year-old like Tesra shouldn't have had to experience that. But then she remembered she was also ten years old and experienced that. She remembered a time when an adventurer party of three was exploring her forest. The only female member in the party seemed to be a newbie.

The two tried to have their ways but Jill was there so they never got to even start. The young lady was scarred and Jill cured her while taking care of her for a while. Thinking about her, she wondered where that young lady currently was. Perhaps in a far of better place, since Jill gave her many gifts before she left.

Looking at the sun that was going below the horizon, Jill smiled. It was very beautiful. An image worth burning inside her head. The ocean started to quiet down and only the wind made sounds. After a while, Jill soon fell asleep.

A while after Jill fell asleep, the trio came out of the forest. The cells in their body were deconstructed and they went back to Jill. The clone did not go back to Jill’s body and its body started reconstruction itself. Soon it became a full-grown man dressed in full armor with a sword by his side.
