10 Ten Years Part 1: The Calamity
Year 1570 AC
(I am making a note here to make it clear that AC stands for After Calamity and its all fiction and is not related to any religion)
In the kingdom of The Great Gran, there was a rumoured monster, able to walk at age of six months, able to talk fluently for at the age of one year. He was able to read and write at the tender age of three years, taught by royal scholars and was able to get the entry to The Royal Library at the age of five, which was unprecedented in the history of The Great Gran kingdom, even the closest to this record was age of eight which was the established by current king of The Great Gran, Drake De Gran.
This monster was able to be part of the royal court at the age of 8 and hailed as the genius in strategy and politics, many even thought of him as an old fox in a child clothing but what made him famous in the kingdom as 'Saint' and infamous on the continent of Redash as 'Old Blood demon' was when he was ordered to command the troops for the extermination of bandits in the North West region of the kingdom, where the bandits terrorized the villagers near the border of the kingdom. Even though he never participated in that extermination himself physically but his strategy of disguising the soldiers as rich merchant group to lure out a group of bandits and then skinning them alive after catching them all, then healing them and then repeating the whole process again and again to literally make them live so that they can only wish for death. This incident made the rest of bandits in the entire kingdom either run away from the kingdom or disband their group in fear of the 'Little Old Blood Demon', which made his name renowned in the whole continent of Redash for its and the villagers he liberated from the fear of bandit saw him as a savior and called him 'Saint'.
In the capital of the Great Gran kingdom, Gran Vir a teenager was pacing to and fro in a luxuriously decorated room. This teenager was the second prince of the kingdom Adone de Gran, the infamous 'Old Blood Demon' and the reincarnated evil scientist Alfie Cornel from Earth. For about three years after his reincarnation, he was unable to understand the reasons for stories of people around him which were like fictional tales from his previous life but he started to doubt his belief of them being tales when he thought about all the things he encountered since his reincarnation including his reincarnation which made him think that he may have been reincarnated in to another world as people were talking about cultivation, beast spirit and many more on daily basis.
At the age of five, he thought of confirming this hypothesis and asked his mother "Mother what is cultivation, demonic beast and beast spirit that everyone keeps talking about?" He asked with a look of curiosity in his eyes.
"You will get to know about it when you are of age but since you asked about it, I will tell you. Long ago inhabitants of this world were able to cultivate and reach a higher level of existence which enabled them to live for thousands of years, they cultivated by using mystical cultivation techniques, ascended to higher life forms, were able to fly in the sky, destroy cities with a snap of fingers and strived to attain immortality but around one thousand five hundred years ago a calamity struck, a massive war broke out with unknown enemy which caused the fall of all high level life forms at that time and in order to prevent the life from vanishing, the mightiest experts of all species converged to fight the enemy. In that war, enemies, families and friends, all stood side by side to protect the world but they were unable to do any substantial harm to the enemy but they themselves were seriously wounded and some even lost their lives. So as the last ditch effort each and every cultivator at that time planned to sacrifice their body and soul to banish the enemy from this world.
Thus, they held a meeting in which they decided how to leave their legacy so that future generations can cultivate. The decision that they made was to find a way to improve the speed of cultivation of the inhabitants of this world to ensure the survival of their descendants and to make sure that when they fall the world would have new experts soon to fill in their place. This goal was attained by various different ways to insure that inhabitants of the can cultivate, even if one of the ways was flawed. One of which was created by human necromancer expert by using the spirits of the dead. He attached them to his own soul which allowed him to cultivate without the need of cultivation techniques, these spirits came to be known as beast spirits. A beast expert came up with the technique of bloodline to help inhabitants cover the lack of their species with other species blood and another expert came up with technique to use other life form's power to improve his own. Others left there cultivation technique in various palaces for inheritors to find them. They then used all the power and knowledge they had to attach these techniques to the soul of all inhabitants of this world so that they can use the beast spirits to cultivate, improve themselves with the blood of others, refine other's strength to improve their own and pass on their bloodlines to their descendants." His mother told him with a serious look.
"Will I be able to cultivate?"
"Yes, my child you will be able to cultivate when you are ten years old as the beast spirit awakens at the age of ten," she said lovingly.
That night he was unable to sleep as he now knew that he was in a different world and was unable to get back to his previous world to get his revenge but he was also excited as he now knew of a way to attain immortality but he was aware that it would take enormous effort to reach it. He then decided to take one step at a time and the first step was to gain information about this new world and to achieve this he had to access the Royal Library of the Great Gran.
