Calmly levitating. The smoky individual bows, as he looks at the clouds ground below him.

Slowly enormous larvae, with millions of fangs attached to their undersides quickly, come out of the ground. They quickly swarm the clouds below with their screams of agony.

Piling up, the larvae grip the air as if it were a mantle, completely defying the laws of physics. They travel so fast that it looks like they are shooting towards him like tiny white projectiles.

Flying away from the nearing pile of larvae, I release my suffocating might but unaffected they are. The aura surrounding me quickly dissipates.

I try to rip space and time itself. To get a little away from this ugly larvae, but it becomes futile as they grip my...white mantle.

"Where's my ghostly skin?!”

Quickly flying backwards, I let my mythical energy scape from my pores. I use it and try to attack them with it like if it was a wip. Unexpectedly my energy fades away.

Trying thousands of spells, I try to attack the swarm of larvae, but the same thing happens to them. 

Quickly evading the larvae slashes, Astus thinks of a way out.

The eyes of Astrus open wide, and he tries something else. His muscles are infused with the power he robbed from the unknown realm. He smiles.

I quickly speed down into the fray. Millions of larvae are still escaping the illusion I was almost subdued by and are speeding up.

With renewed vigour, I punch one of the larvae and surprisingly find resistance. I pay no mind to it.

The larvae explode by the millions as I keep attacking them.

Suddenly the hole where the larvae are flowing through expands, as a towering giant with millions of pale nebulas circling around him comes out of it.

”An Orcus…?” Astus says as he sees a huge deformed centipede release white smoke from its body.

Astrus was stupefied for a moment. The thing in front of him was none other than one of the 654 trial keepers, monsters he had to personally defeat in his lifetime to even reach the title of a Cosmic entity.

Astrus the proceeds to push the full force of his powers into his bones and muscles.

This kind of enemies is too powerful. it is going to be hard to hurt them for he is mostly a long time caster, not a fighter.

He flies down, towards the ground below him and grips one of the larvae. Hsing the larvae as a shield he holds it in his chest as he mows the enemies coming towards him.

One of the Orcus in the distance sprouts a black tentacle from its shoulder and starts to gather blue lightning from the pale clouds.

I feel something coming my way, and I quickly move to the right just barely dodging one of the Orcus infamous weapons.

‘The blind judgement.’

Pale blood drips down my body, as I fly towards the blind spot of the Orcus. I decide to attack him

Before the man flies toward his death, a crimson glow shines in this wicked void, illuminating the dark blue ground and skies. It depends and flies towards him. The energy quickly vanishes, as it enters his abysmal soul.

I feel strange energies fill me. Something helps me in this dark space. In this bottomless world.My will surpasses the boundaries of everything known.

With the strength of a tsunami tipping a perfect balance, I carefully wield this incalculable power in front of me...gently letting it go.

The screeches of the larvae stop. The chains tying me down to this realm cease to exist.

The world around me lightens up in so many different colours, and yet it stays as dark as the plane I originated from…

“Where could I be?”

He asks himself. An untold amount of delight fills him, as he recalls his endless lives. Yet, even that many lives tell him nothing of the place he is currently on.

“It was all a perfect lie. Yet my endless rage broke the boundaries, and so quietly I slipped through the cracks of my vile cage. Of my hideous world.” I instantly turn, as I'm attracted by a luminous orb.

Strange behemoths stand in front of my eyes, the heights of suns they are reaching, as they stand in unimaginable sizes in front of my sight.

I quietly stand Infront of an ocean blue ball...my dimension?

“Dimensions are supposed to be thin lines, not balls." He realizes he was more than stupid all his life.

I wish I was born in another universe.

“Yet such a place was the only way. The only path to stop this unending cycle of unimaginable pain.”

Astrus, a now glowing wisp quickly ponders his situation. He touches his the face of his soul checking if he was really out of that degenerated place. “I’m really out.” 

Joyfully I breathe out, yet breath in. I have no lungs, nor a heart, yet I'm moving my sight from left to right, feeling as if I'm more than alive.

“Such an interesting perception of my current situation.” The wisp says to himself, as he checks the rest of his body.

“I have yet to find another anomaly that depicts my present direction.” And so he travels to another world...
