Luceo's Abyss

Why is everything in black and white...

Rubbles are levitating and you don't know if buildings are destroyed or dismantled like a digital model.

Emisyl was talking to himself as he wanders around the new odd world.

Suddenly, a man reaches for his hand.

He accepts.

Emisyl then stood up.

"Welcome, young man" the man greets.

He had an approachable face with black hair, moustache and a few wrinkles.

He then speaks.

"I am Gragnar. The guard of this place" he introduces.

Emisyl then looks around and speaks to ask.

"What is this place?" he questioned.

"This is Luceo's Abyss"

"People who we're lucky enough to resist powerful dark energy resides here so I could take them to a better place" he tells.

Emisyl then gives a confused look and asks.

"Dark energy? I don't understand any nerd shit, I just smash spear"

"Would you mind to elaborate?" says Emisyl.

Gragnar then clears his throat.

"Everyone on the world that you used to be is gone unless they resisted the powerful dark energy"

"They are temporarily kept a tiny cell-sized particle somewhere around this realm and won't be freed unless someone does something" Gragnar explains.

Emisyl pauses in surprise.

Gragnar notices it then looks at him to ask.

"What happened before you went here?" he questions.

"I was..." Emisyl tries to recall.

He then remembered the warehouse incident and tells it to Gragnar.

"I see" Gragnar reacts.

"That incident probably was just a cover-up to bigger happenings in the background"

"Someone channeled an artifact while everyone was busy"

"You should be grateful that you're here along with few others" he tells.

"Few others?" Emisyl asks.

"There were more people appeared here before you came" Gragnar answers.

"Don't be happy about it though, they were so small compared to how many people are really on your world" he adds.

"What should I do now?" Emisyl asks.

Gragnar then turns his back and speaks.

"Follow me"

"I'll take you to where I told everyone to go" he instructs.

Emisyl follows.

They ended up on a portal that had a lively image on it.

"This is Luceo's Utopia" he says to Emisyl without looking.

"People who were on this dead place before they entered there probably blended by now as it looks similar to your world"

Gragnar then looks at Emisyl.

"But don't be fooled, people there don't exist and just creations of Luceo's mind" he tells.

Emisyl then got curious and asks a question.

"Who's Luceo?" he asks.

Gragnar clears his throat and looks at Emisyl before talking.

"Long ago, there was a celestial who betrayed a higher celestial and created his own secret world"

"You humans are not supposed to have powers until another celestial mated with humans which Luceo hated" he explains.

"He created this world of powerless people he call "Pure" to watch over" he adds.

"If it's peaceful then what's the point of going here or there?" Emisyl asks.

"Luceo is long gone. The man who probably opened the gates here and temporarily dissipated your world either wants to show this world or wants to destroy this place"

"Whatever the point is, your key is to escape and restore your world just like what I told to everyone else" says Gragnar.

"What if I started to like the world beyond that portal?" Emisyl asks.

Gragnar then turns his back then speaks.

"Don't you have a family?" he asks.

Emisyl pauses.

Not so long he entered the portal and Gragnar left few seconds after he go.

Before Gragnar disappears from our view, he speaks.

"They'll never escape"

We see Emisyl appearing on some sort of a village with few people looking around him.

There were others too but they just manage to resist the energy but was not relevant.

"There's another one!" a female villager says nearby.

"Why are people suddenly appearing on that spot" a male villager speaks.

"What is happening?" an old woman speaks.

Suddenly, a silver armored man with long blonde hair approaches while he was with guards.

"It's Sir Davion" a little girl villager says.

A little boy looked up to Davion.

Davion then talks to everyone who magically appeared at the village.

He crossed his arms before talking.

"I don't know who you all are but as long as you don't do anything distruptive on this village, I welcome you warmly" he says.

Emisyl looked on him as he holds his spear.

"You" Davion looks.

"Keep your weapon or hand it over" he suggests.

Emisyl then responded with a nod and hides his spear on his inventory.

Everyone was surprised on what he just did.

"Did the spear just magically disappeared!?" the little girl reacts.

"Wow!" the little boy reacts.

Rest of villagers gave a surprised look.

"How did you do that?" Davion asks as he gives a surprised look just as well.

"Magic" Emisyl replied.

(He surely had secret powers too, I should track all this odd people here) Davion speaks on his head.

"Awesome" Davion praises.

"Can you do that again?" Davion asks.

"Sure thing" Emisyl replied.

Emisyl then constantly appears and reappears his spear as he gives a smirk and smug look.

"Wow!" the villagers reacted.

"I can do that too" a woman's voice was heard at the back.

Emisyl then looked.

It was a girl with short light blue hair wielding a scythe.

(I recognize this woman) Emisyl speaks on his head.

"Miss Maymithe?" says Emisyl but Maymithe ignored him and did the appear-disappear he did with his spear.

After she did, she answered Emisyl.

"Yes I am. How'd you know?" Maymithe asks.

"I saw you on TV, your team were champions of that arena sport" Emisyl answers.

"That was long ago, I'm an Elite now" says Maymithe.

"Oh yeah, I saw it long ago too. Before I opened jar of pickles" says Emisyl as he inserts a small chuckle.

"Jar of pickles?" Maymithe asks.

Davion then interrupts the two to tell everyone something with an approachable tone.

"I don't know where you're all from but I hereby announce that we hold warrior's association or any profession you please"

"Enjoy your stay and keep this city peaceful" he says then slowly walks away.

Before he goes away, Maymithe asks something.

"Where is it located?" she asks.

Davion then points the huge building up front in a about higher level of ground.

"There" he says then walks away.

Emisyl then approaches Maymithe.

"I'm actually quite shy to ask this but since you're the only one I recognize, would you mind if we go together?" Emisyl asks.

"I actually almost recognize everyone" Maymithe says.

"Most of elites are here" she adds.

Emisyl then looks around.

"Who are the ones you don't then?" Emisyl asks.

"Those five people up there" Maymithe answers as she points.

Emisyl saw a man with red hair, an angel, a succubus, a man with brown hair and an evil looking man who probably just lacked sleep.

Before they were even done, a man interrupts them.

"Stop talking to plebs" the man tells.

"Don't mind him, he's full of himself" Maytmithe tells to Emisyl.

"Who is he?" Emisyl asks.

"It's Shin, Top 1 Elite" Maymithe says.

Emisyl then looked.

We see a man in fur coat looking serious as his hands were on his pocket.
