Chapter 10- The start of the rift army and the drake who seeks power
The person in front of Void was…. Colo. She had just came out the castle and what she came to, was an whole bunch of creatures that were like shadows. She instantly got scared of them, and instinctively crawled backwards, seeing Void.
“Void, it's you, what are these creatures?” (Colo)
“Let's just call them rifters, they are mine and this realm’s inhibitors, don't be scared they cannot hurt one who is my subordinate.” (V)
“Okay.” (Colo)
She was still shaking, even after hearing that. The creatures were just so malicious with their looks, they look like they could rip an human apart without even a touch.
“Just go back inside, if you can't handle them.” (V)
Colo then stood and ran inside the castle. Void looked around for a while and then walked inside, too.
Void went into an room with computer monitors, which were really futuristic. What was on the screen, blue prints, weapon designs, strategy, and last but not least the design for something unknown.
With screens floating in front of him, Void touched it and the screen changed. This time it was only one page, the whole page showed an blue print for a building. By the measurements showed on it, it was an pretty big building and had a bunch of rooms.
On the left on the screen was the words “build”, Void touched it and the ground shook like crazy.
After an few minutes the ground stopped shaking and Void moved to an new page. This time it was an weapon, like the katana “shadow of the undying-void” it was black, mixed with purple. The right side had the needed materials and the other side had the status for the weapon on the side and what it showed was.
[an weapon made to destroy sovereigns, no ruler shall control you. The flames shall burn into the minds of all. Anyone below an sovereign level will be no match and anyone above sovereign will fear you.]
{embedded skills} [grows with the heart of a sovereign]
{passive skill} [grows with every head of an sovereign taken]
Void knew, now that the author was here. Somebody stronger and more powerful then him will emerge and he needed to prepare. Even if you are the strongest, remember somebody is always stronger then you. You can never truly be the strongest, not even when you kill everyone, there will always be something stronger and weaker then you.

-in the void of dimensions-
An space cracked little by little, the speed was slow but the crack was getting bigger and bigger.
The presence coming from it was so strong, that Void's presence would be nothing but an ant.
-back to Void-
He was now in an room with an flame, which seems so perfect that you couldn't tell which color it was. On the ground were materials, which were made by Void himself with the power to create anything. There were limitations, however, he couldn't make stuff which were to complex, life was the only exception.
He picked up an hammer from the side and put it near an anvil, which seems so heavy and strong just by staring at it.
He then threw the materials in the fire, they mixed together so perfectly that it glowed with light after it mixed together. An dark aura came off the mixed materials but it still seemed to be as pure as an untainted soul of an child.
An mechanical arm then came in and picked up the material and put it on the anvil. Void grabbed the hammer and started smashing it into the shape he wants it to be.
He couldn't let an robot do this because he needed to pour some of his sovereign’s power into the weapon to make it. An computer can come up with blue prints for sovereign weapons, but they could not make it, it would take trillions of years to develop an technology that could do that.
Soon, the weapon started to take shape. The edges had spikes on one side and on the other side the edge was smooth but seemed sharper then anything.
After everything was finished, Void added the guard and handle to the blade. The new weapon shined with darkness and purple flames would emerge from it.
Void sheathed the sword and continues making something else.
What he made this time was an robe, it was like the sword. It was black and purple flames came from it.
[one that protects against all types of damage. Nothing below the sovereign realm can harm you and those who try, will burn into ashes worse then experiencing hell itself. Made by an sovereign of the top blacksmithing level and with great experience.]
Void was truly trying hard this time, things were about to get crazy. He put the robe away and walked out the room.

He came to a room with somebody in it. The person was sitting on an chair, in front of her was an table. She was full asleep right now,
Void walked up to her and clapped his hands and she instantly woke up and sat straight. This face was very familiar, it was……
Rieme, Void had “kidnapped” her from her home in everian and brought her here. She stared straight at him, but didn't do anything and just sat there.
“So Rieme, you know why I brought you here?” (V)
“No, why would I!” (Rieme)
She instantly yelled back, as she didn't know what was going on at all.
“Rieme, my wife, I brought you here to be an general of an army of mine.” (V)
“And why should I follow your order?” (Rieme)
“Your friend Driana, I will bring her here and if she found out that you didn't follow my order and killed me, you know how she will react.” (V)
“Okay, just once.” (Rieme)
She couldn't refute, the one thing she feared in the whole world was Driana. If you were her, you would fear Driana, too.
They both disappeared into smoke and appeared in an large stage and a whole bunch of space in front. Void then held his hands up and all of a sudden, the shadow like creatures now filled the space.
“We greet the sovereign!” (Crowd)
They were loud and all of them got on one knee.
“Stand up, today you will be given the chance to become the strongest. There is an great force threatening us and we must stand up to it!” (V)
They all stood up and listened quietly.
“You will be trained under my general, Rieme, who is next to me. She is unafraid of anything and nothing can shake her!* Whispers* but one.” (V)
“Yes, the sovereign’s command is absolute!” (Crowd)
They all agreed, so it went well. He changed Rieme rank in this realm’s system to sovereign’s general, which was the second highest of ranks, and disappeared.
He came to Dranar, one of the 8 countries in Rime. Snow fell all around him, he was on an mountain right now looking down at the elves which had settled down below.
He turned back and wanted to walk off, but there was somebody behind him. It was an man, with scales on his arm and face. He had an coat and jeans on, he then bowed and greeted Void.
“Hello, sir, this lowly one is an drake named Demis. May I know yours?” (Demis)
“Were you there the whole time? And why are you being so polite?” (V)
“Yes, I was here the whole time. I flew up here in my drake form and wanted to see the sight, but then you came out of nowhere. I am being polite because I know you are strong and I am weak.” (Demis)
He saw Void because Void didn't have his voided-armor on. And Void didn't think about it because this was gonna be quick.
“Well, you don't have to be polite. But, why do you say you are weak?” (V)
“I am only an drake, an lower form of an dragon. And you sir are stronger then an dragon, you have the presence of an ancient being.” (Demis)
“So you know your stuff, you can call me Void. And do you want power more then anything you could gain from becoming an dragon?” (V)
“I want to be powerful, but will that chance ever come?” (Demis)
He was hesitant towards the question, he couldn't make up his mind.
“I will let you make up your mind, when the time comes I will come to you and whether you accept my proposal or not is up to you.” (V)
After Void said that, he jumped off the mountain and flew into the distance.
He was now in a field of mana and evergreen trees around him. Mana trees were trees that survived on absorbing mana and could almost live anywhere.
An huge formation descended from the sky above him, and nobody saw this because it was so far away from civilization.
“Now that's set, my army shall spread throughout the realm with this.” (V)
