1 Ethereal Odyssey: Ascendance and Conflict

Within the vacant expanse lies only darkness, an abyss so profound that even the most powerful cannot cast their gaze upon it. Devoid of light, sound, or motion, it stands as a realm of emptiness and solitude.

Eventually, a small light emerges in the void. It is a faint glimmer at first, barely noticeable in the vast expanse of darkness. However, as moments pass, the light grows bigger and brighter. It illuminates the void, casting shadows and revealing the emptiness that surrounds it.

As the light expands, intensifying its brilliance, it metamorphoses into a woman of sublime essence. Her majestic presence radiates, saturating the void. Her unparalleled beauty captivates, commanding attention effortlessly. Towering proudly, she boasts a cascade of lustrous black hair, billowing within the ethereal currents encircling her form. Her eyes, a piercing crimson, possess an otherworldly depth, seemingly capable of peering into the very core of the void.

Surveying the vacant expanse, the woman gazes upon the desolation enveloping her. Her demeanor exudes an air of profound knowledge and wisdom, hinting at her potentially otherworldly nature.

As she stands there, the void seems to come alive with her presence. The darkness recedes, pushed back by the light that surrounds her. And at that moment, the woman becomes the center of existence, the only being in the vast expanse of the void.

But as quickly as she appeared, the woman disappears, and the void is plunged back into darkness. The light that had illuminated the emptiness is gone, leaving behind only the faint memory of the majestic woman with black hair and red eyes who had briefly graced the void with her presence.

After an immeasurable amount of time, the fragments left behind by the woman were divided into eight orb-like shapes. Some were equal in size, while others were bigger or smaller than the rest. The fragments floated in the darkness, pulsating with otherworldly energy. It was as if they were a reminder of the woman's brief visit to the void, a testament to her power and majesty.

The biggest fragment among them suddenly glowed brighter, and a man emerged from within it. He was naked, with crimson red hair and shiny golden eyes. He was tall and muscular, with a presence that filled the void. He looked around at the emptiness that surrounded him, seeming to take in all the details and trying to understand its nature. There was a sense of curiosity and determination in his gaze as if he was seeking something in the void.

The man approached the remaining fragments, studying them with a keen eye. He seemed to be trying to decipher their secrets, or perhaps he was searching for something hidden within them. Whatever the case, he was drawn to the fragments and seemed to be on a mission to uncover their mysteries.

As the man stood observing the fragments, he noticed that six of the smaller ones seemed to be unstable. They suddenly rushed in different directions, as if they were being pulled by an unseen force. The man was caught off guard and was unable to do anything as they disappeared from his sight.

He was left standing there, perplexed. Was he supposed to chase after the fragments? Did they hold some significance that he was unaware of? He had no answers to these questions, and all he could do was stand there and wonder.

But as he stood there, his attention was drawn to the remaining fragment. It was the biggest of the seven, and it seemed to pulsate with an energy that was similar to his own. He had the instinct to protect it, to not let it go like the others. He didn't know why, but he felt a strong connection to the fragment as if it held the key to something important.

And so, the man made a decision. He would stay with the fragment and protect it, no matter what. He would guard it with his life, and do everything in his power to keep it safe. For at that moment, the fragment was all that mattered, the only thing that existed in the vast expanse of the void.

As he stood there, the fragment seemed to pulse with energy, as if they were trying to communicate something to the man. But whether he was able to understand their message or not, no one will ever know. For at that moment, the man and the fragment were the only things that existed in the vast expanse of the void.

As the man stood watching the fragment, it suddenly glowed brighter and transformed into a being. This time, it was another woman.

The man watched this phenomenon with a mix of confusion and awe. He had never seen anything like it before, and he was taken aback by the woman's beauty. He didn't know where she came from, or what her purpose was.

After a moment, the man gathered the courage to speak. "What are you?" he asked the woman.

She remained silent, her blue eyes studying him intently.

The man hesitated, then spoke again. "I am... Frankenstein," he said, finally introducing himself. He wasn't sure how he knew his name, but it seemed to just come to him. "You should have one too, right?" he added as if this was something that was expected. Is it all related to that unknown woman from whom those fragments were left behind?

The woman said something very quietly, her voice barely above a whisper.

Frankenstein listened intently, then said in reply, "I see. So, that's what you're called."

He didn't know what the woman's name meant, or what it signified. All he knew was that it was something special, that connected her to him. And at that moment, he felt a strong sense of connection to the woman, as if they were linked by something greater than themselves.

Frankenstein and the woman with blue eyes slowly began exploring the empty void, learning more about themselves and their surroundings. As they walked, Frankenstein discovered that he could put his thoughts into reality, and he began to create space within the void.

At first, the woman was quiet and reserved, seeming content to simply observe and study the void. But as they continued to explore, she became more talkative and started to contribute more to their journey. She seemed to have a special sense for something that she called- "Energy."

As they walked, Frankenstein created a sphere that gradually expanded, enclosing a small portion of the void within it. He filled this sphere with life, using his powers to living beings. He learned that his purpose was to fill this sphere with happiness and life, and he worked tirelessly to achieve this goal.

The woman assisted him in this task, studying the sphere and its inhabitants to better understand how to develop their civilization. Together, they worked to create an Omni-purpose energy called "Mana" that would sustain all life within the sphere. The woman mastered this energy quickly, using it to further progress and improve their civilization.

And so, Frankenstein and the woman continued to explore and develop the sphere, creating a new world in the vast expanse of the void.

As eons of time passed, the civilization within the sphere flourished and grew beyond anything that Frankenstein or the woman could have imagined. It was a place of great beauty and prosperity, filled with all manner of life and wonders. As one travels through the sphere, they are struck by the beauty and tranquility of the place. Everywhere they look, they see rolling green hills and sparkling streams.

Everyone simply lives their lives to the fullest, enjoying the wonders of the world around them. The air is clean and pure, filled with the scent of flowers and the sound of birds singing.

Nature is abundant here, and the vast amount of Mana that flows through the sphere keeps everything pure and untouched by the ravages of time. The land is fertile and rich, supporting a diverse range of life.

But it is not only the natural world that is present here. There are also strange entities called spirits that seem to be an after-effect of the vast amounts of Mana that flow through the sphere. These spirits are a source of fascination and mystery, and they are revered by the people of the sphere as guardians and protectors.

As one walks through the sphere, one can't help but feel as if they have stumbled upon a place of great beauty and harmony.

But as the sphere continued to grow and evolve, a problem arose. Among the beings that Frankenstein had created, some were incredibly strong and capable of manipulating Mana and even higher levels of energy. They were the elite, the ones who stood at the top of the hierarchy.

But some were weak and mortal, prone to death, and incapable of manipulating Mana. They were the lower class, the ones who lived at the mercy of the elite.

This power imbalance created a rift within the sphere, as the strong sought to maintain their dominance over the weak. Some argued for fairness and equality, while others believed that the strong should be allowed to rule without interference.

It was a complex and contentious issue, one that threatened to tear the sphere apart. And as the beings within the sphere struggled to find a resolution, it seemed that the future of their world was uncertain.
