1 Malivoire Descent.

It was like any other day. Zeras was on his way back from school, the only one in the slums they possessed. And beside Zeras was none other than Khain, Zeras' younger brother.

"Hey Zeras, are we going to get bread today?" Khain asked with a puppy-like look on his face.

Zeras had a smile on his face as he caressed the head of his younger brother. "Yeah, we should be able to get some loaves of bread. I've been saving for quite some time, after all, today is our birthday."

Though this didn't mean they were of the same age. Khain was actually 13 years old, whereas Zeras is 15...

"Yeah!" Khain jumped up in jubilation as they rapidly traversed through the ragged street filled with various waste, and a bad smell continuously assaulted their nose.

But they were already used to this, as they had a light smile on their faces.

Appearing before the bread seller, the middle-aged man asked with a light smile on his face.

"Can I get a loaf of bread?" Zeras asked as he reached for his pocket, bringing out a squeezed and wrinkled 100 Naira note.

The middle-aged man had a drastic change in his expression as he suddenly barked out, "Do you think this is a beggar's home or workplace? My friend, get the hell out of here. You want me to sell a loaf of bread that's 200 Naira for 100 Naira."

Zeras narrowed his brows as he realized that the price of a loaf of bread had increased by 100 Naira after a month. He should have already expected such a thing in the first place.

He had a pleading look on his face as he spoke. "Please... Can you please take this 100 Naira for one loaf of bread? May the gods bless you in more abundance."

The middle-aged man immediately took out a stick just right beside him as his voice tore through the air. "I can see that you don't heed words. Do you think you're some kind of angel whose God-forsaken prayer will come to pass?"

Khain witnessed all this with a sad look on his face. He really wanted that bread very badly, and his brother had been saving for it for quite a long time.

Although unwilling, he loved his brother more. He couldn't bear to see his brother get beaten because of him.

"Zeras, it's okay, I don't want the loaf of bread anymore," he said while tugging Zeras' clothes with a forced bright smile on his face.

Zeras knew that his brother only said that because of him. He had a light smile on his face as he asked, "Are you sure you're okay with that? You've really wanted to find out how bread tastes."

Khain had a smile on his face as he replied, "Yeah, I'm very sure. There is always the future."

"Yeah, you're right. There's always the future."

Or is there...

Leaving the shop of the middle-aged man who rained curses against them, despite all this, they still had a bright smile on their faces as they were already used to the curses.

It was a norm within the slums.

They rapidly made their way through the alleyways, heading for their home.

Arriving at a dilapidated building, barely considered okay to sleep in, they had a bright smile on their faces as Khain's voice suddenly tore through the air. "We are finally home, just how better can today get?"

And it did get better, in a sense of it all...

The entire world suddenly witnessed a super earthquake in a sense. Yet it wasn't actually an earthquake, as a loud voice suddenly tore through the air.

[Hello, young ones of Earth. The Malivoire Descent has descended upon your world. You all shall be given a chance to awaken your latent potential. It's now up to you to determine your fate, whether you will be at the bottom of the food chain or at the top while constantly trying to survive. The choice is in your hand, and the power yours to wield.]

"Brother... What the hell was that just now?" Khain asked in shock.

Zeras had a look of shock on his face as he replied to his brother. "I have no idea. But I guess we just have to wait to find out."

And so did they find out...

A new essence invaded the entire world. The world was filled with a crazy level of origin essence as origin particles pervaded the entirety of Earth.

[Try to absorb the origin particles in the atmosphere. And if you're fated with the path of a Malivoire combatant, you will be able to...]

"Let's try it out, Zeras," Khain said, as he immediately closed his eyes, trying to absorb the origin present in the atmosphere.

Zeras had a light smile on his face as he was quite impressed with the level of bravery of his brother. 'He has always been like that, anyways.'

Zeras also closed his eyes, attempting to absorb the particles present in the atmosphere.

And immediately after both brothers closed their eyes, a large influx of origin energy within the slum suddenly started gathering towards them at an astronomical rate.

Every breath of theirs gulped in a large amount of the origin particles present in the atmosphere.

Slowly, they both levitated into the midair, as the distance through which origin energy traveled towards them gradually increased continuously.

And at various parts of the world, golden glows of light would suddenly shoot towards the sky from the bodies of some humans. And a kind of rune would slowly appear on their hands.

[You have awakened your origin ability: Strategic-Tactician.

An unknown force has interfered with your awakening.

You have awakened an origin ability: Infinite Level Up.

You have awakened an origin name: World Simulator.

An unknown force has interfered with your origin name awakening.

You have awakened an origin name: Nameless.

Void Aspect has been awakened.

An unknown force has interfered with your Aspect Awakening. You have awakened the Chaos Aspect.]

The voice resounded within Zeras's mind as his heartbeat increased continuously. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

His eyes slowly opened as he caught sight of his brother. He had a shocked look on his face as his brother was now more handsome. Blue pupils, long snow-white hair, and a well-defined build compared to his former malnourished self.

And so had he... Though he failed to notice it at first.

"Brother, what did you awaken?" Khain asked with a bright smile on his face.

Zeras was about to reply when a loud voice suddenly tore through the air.

[Now for those who have successfully become World Evolvers. Let me give you a brief overview of how your future life will be like. For every Malivoire trial your world passes, your world and its World Evolvers will be granted some rewards depending on your level of participation in the slaying of the Malivoire being.

Your job as World Evolvers is to make sure that you overcome every Malivoire trial headed for your world, and one of such is about to descend upon this world as I speak. And for every Malivoire trial surpassed, your world gets a chance to evolve and leave the bottom of the food chain.

That would be the end of me... For now. All right World Evolvers, show me what you have got!]

The voice boomed into the ears of every world evolver as a terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon their entire world.

A gate slowly appeared in mid-air, seen by all throughout the world as it radiated an intense level of energy, one that nerfed one a lot.

As though the worst of all evil was contained within.

And slowly the dark abysmal looking gate opened, as a Nightmare Weaver suddenly appeared in sight.

A creature with dark abysmal pupil, short wings and very a very large body towering over three meters in height.

Every World evolver's hand suddenly glowed a bright golden as some set of words suddenly appeared before them.

[A Fallen Malivoire being has been detected.

The Realm transversal point has been chosen: The Dream Realm!

Realm Transversal shall now take place...]

And immediately after the end of the word from the runes. All the world evolver's suddenly vanished from existence and so did the malivoire being.

As the rest of the humans all prayed for the safety of their loved ones.

That's provided prayers could even be of help...

Zeras suddenly found himself in a different place entirely.

A world... A world of Nightmare!!!
