I was alone. In the cold, on a bench near the frozen lake, I was ultimately alone. I ran off towards my little cave, near the oak tree at the center of the forest, probably 2 mins from the lake.

Hey there, I'm Daniel, a regular boy going to start college. I am a short, weak-ish boy, not much talented. I live in a Cave, alone, due to my love for nature. Today, I spent all my savings to buy myself a companion - a cute yet strong retriever puppy that I named Fury.

I untied Fury and took him for a walk to my treehouse in the oak tree. It was funny, the the way my puppy was looking at me, confused. The look seemed to say ' Why have a second house in a tree? ' I laughed, in a way that made it feel warmer, calmer then how it was half an hour ago. It is evening, and I had 2 hours before sunset. I took Fury in one arm as I climbed to the middlemost platform, right where it was brightest, and where the hollow in my tree was.

In the hollow, I stored a few cans of my special pet food, some snacks for myself, and my most valuable treasures.

When I was a younger, much more immature boy, I thought of pranking a scientist by taking one of his books for fun. I was an orphan,but was living with a foster father. He was thinking I was old enough to and ready to live my own life alone, so gave me a hundred dollars as a starting, along with some food, clothes, and a few other necessities, in my backpack. He also gave me a very large, empty suitcase for extra storage.

Now, I thought of only taking one book and returning it later with a sorry note. But, when I was opening the box to sneak one book out, I noticed an alarm next to the box, which was full of books. The alarm sounded. Feeling scared of the situation, I put the entire box itself into my suitcase, and fled like anything.

Since then, I've never ventured outside the forest except for some exceptions, and have never done anything that I would regret. It has been a few months now, and I've read through all the books in the box, all other than one page at the bottom of it. I read -

'If you are seeing or reading this page, it means that you have read through all of my books that I have either discovered, or written. Each and every word in all of my books, the books of Dexter is true. According to the patterns and other unexplainable studies going through my research, there do exist two other worlds in two alternate dimensions. One of them is only studied about in my research, a world called Thraeta, and another is fully understood by me, as I have the books of Dexter, the sacred books of the world of Dextopia, and the only remains remains left after the explosion of that world. You must go away from Earth and never come back, or my arch-enemies will utterly destroy you to obtain my books. You cannot simply find the path, but I am searching.

The books of Dexter are not known in Thraeta, but do have some similarities between the two worlds. BYE.'

I was simply astounded by the facts that cultivation and Soul power and MegaRings existed.

I have decided. I shall go tomorrow and return the books to the scientist.

Why do I feel like I'm mixing in adventures?

It was noon once I reached the lab. I was tired from carrying my suitcase, which was full of the heavy books. The scientist opened the door. He probably recognized me from a security camera, and went inside with the suitcase and a sorry letter from me. He came out later with a revolver loaded with a glowing bullet, all colorless. I was shot.

I knew he was angry at me, so I tried not to scream. I couldn't anyways. Though I may have been shot, I was alive, with no pain at all. I was surrounded by darkness, but glowing the same as that bullet, as if it was something disguised, that I absorbed, and not actually a bullet. I felt faint, and let my consciousness flow away...

In my subconscious, I felt like I was shrinking, becoming younger, becoming... a baby. I Was Being Reborn.

I woke up with a start. A woman was smiling at me. A man - her husband - was preparing me bottled milk. Then i just realised. These were my parents in this 'Afterlife'. " Aren't you happy Dan? Yes you are!" Mother laughed. I seemed to have the same name, but was otherwise almost completely different from my 'previous life'. I was tan, short, and had purple eyes. I have carried with me two things - this, and... I can't seem to remember anything about my old life. I'm forgetting everything. It was like my brain was rebooting, ready for fresh memories. I'm beginning to even forget I had a... a... A previous life. The effect is weird. I can only think, not talk, move, remember,but one thing - The books of Dexter - the books I stole... sometime. now I'm feeling sleepy. my brain feel younger too. I ... **ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

6 years after Rebirth...

" Mom, can you remind me of the name of this planet?" I asked. " We live on the planet of Thraeta, named after one of the two discoverers of Powers, such as cultivation and Soul power and MegaRings." was my reply.

Ah, I should introduce myself. I am Daniel, a boy who turned six yesterday. I'm just learning about what is a Martial Soul. The Nectar ceremony is tomorrow. I live with my mother, and Fury - my spirit pet Phoenix.

A cool. breeze ran by through the window. I went outside and into a secret tunnel I once found. It led me to cave, glittering with ores and gems. I took the chance and went on. Today, I had brought a torch, so I decided to go deeper than I usually do. I was walking for a while when I came to a halt in front of what seemed the end of the cave. Suddenly, the rocks in front of me disintegrated as I touched them. I saw a pedestal in the center of this hidden area. The cave wall was lighted by torches as well. I went close to the beautiful, shimmering pedestal, which was carved wonderfully, and held an equally pretty box. I looked to see if anyone was nearby, and then decided to see what was in this 'special' box. As soon as I went near the box, a trigger sounded. As I was scared, I took the box itself and ran home in a hurry. I snuck it in my room, and his it under a loose floorboard under my bed that Mother didn't know about.

" Dan! It's gonna rain soon, and it's getting late. Go fetch Fury!" Mother cried out. I ran into the forest, to where Fury loved to perch when he was let free for a while. Suddenly, Fury used one of his abilities, and teleported to me. It seemed he wanted me to follow him. I felt a breeze blow, as I did. He led me through parts of the forest where it was rumored that Soul beasts and Spirit beasts roamed about. We slowed down, and I grew more cautious. The silence was disturbing. Then I heard a piercing shriek. Fury came down to passive state as I went towards the direction of the scream. (** Passive State means: when Fury turns into a tattoo on my left hand.**). The fog around me is thickening a lot. I may be brave in my own opinion, but I am still quite young, and I felt worried. A shriek sounded again, and it sounded nearby. I went through some bushes and ended up finding myself in a clearing. Around the place were statues of humans, so life-like, so real. I saw that the clearing was overgrown by rivergrass. But I was confused by one thing: why were there foot prints all around the statues?

Then I just realised something - a Beast was probably attracting and soul-freezing humans. The most probable reason for this behaviour of a Beast is to take revenge due to circumstances such as someone harming it physically, mentally or emotionally (if it has reached IQ of a human). And, according to... something?.., the most probable Beast would be a Fog-spitting Stoneape, of the Soul Beast category. I looked around the clearing, and noticed a ring on the ground. It was Deep brown with light brown stripes and white dots. The ring looked familiar. I put it on...

And I started to remember. Days and months of reading. Reading the books, the books of Dexter. Pages and pages, 'till I found the mental pages, the pure memories in my head. And I found a special memory I wanted, the Ringbook. The very ring I wore was a Memory ring, which shows you and of your own memories. I searched for the Beastbooks, and located the page about the Soul Beast...

The memory ring

The fog was getting stuffy, and I felt like the Ape was lurking nearby. I called upon Fury into active state, and my Phoenix's slight glow allowed my vision to enhance. I sneaked from one statue to another.

I found a pot of something to drink(which didn't turn to stone) on an old-lady-statue's belt holder. I was thirsty, so I took a sip. It tasted like honey with caramel and chocolate, and warmed my entire body. I heard a 'JINGLE', and a rainbow aura glowed on me. I saw the Ape use his only stone finger to touch and freeze me. I fainted.

I woke up in what I guessed was a dream, where my surroundings had changed, and I was in the middle of a great big white nothingness. Normally, I'm so light in my dreams that I float and hover just off the ground, but here, I was just simply walking from Nowhere to Nowhere. A mirror appeared in front of me, and I saw someone... myself!... staring right back at me. My hair floated for a second, grew longer, changed style, then turned blue, and waved about, as if I was standing in a breeze(but I wasn't). My rough clothes - an old suit my mother forced me to wear - changed into jeans, a black t-shirt a jacket and sneakers. My dark-ish skin turned unusually (but handsomely) pale white. My eye color changed whenever and however I wanted. I felt much taller. But the weirdest thing was how I had a glowing mark, a Soulmark as a fact, and that to, one that can change form. And the rainbow aura and mark could appear or disappear at will. My new appearance (other than the aura and Soulmark) were all permanent.

I touched the mirror, but fell in...

I woke up to find out that my new looks and features from my dreams were all really real in reality and I was a statue. I saw a tattoo of a Phoenix on my left hand, meaning that Fury was safe with me. I decided to try call on my rainbow aura. As I did, a flash started for an instant as the stone on me faded. I used the memory ring and remembered the Stoneape's weakness: Mystic water, and that the Ape can create waves of fog, like the ones moving through the air right now. In fact, it was getting slippery to stand up properly. I called upon my 'Blue Trident' Martial Soul form. I stabbed it into the ground to stop my self from being blown away. It slowed down, and I took up my Trident and tried to pierce the fog. The Trident touched a statue, and then my eyes, hair and aura turned deep watery blue, as I (without trying to) subconsciously muttered a Soulcurse - `Aquamystic cloudfate'. Mystic Water started appearing out of thin air, enough for a bucket, and followed the tip of my Trident. I didn't want anyone to know who it was that had the Nectar and freed them, so I hid in the fog as I freed each of them by wetting them with the Mystic Water. They were many, and I knew now, they together could stop the Soul Beast. Anyways, The sun was about to set, so. I ran a small distance, changed my eye colour to my regular purple, got rid of my aura, commanded my Trident to become passive, hid my mark, changed my hair to light blue, called upon Fury, who enlarged to carry me home.

As punishment for returning home late ( as usual ), I was given a small bit of food and was locked in my own room, only allowed out tomorrow noon. I knew I would get locked in my room as I regularly do, so had already stashed away some food in advance under the floorboard. Well, I used this opportunity to look through the strange box.

Half an hour later later...

I've found many things within the box, such as some weaponry, armour, books, a note about the storage quantity of the box (it was small, but could store two-four sacks of nonliving objects), cultivational beneficial books and herbs, a jade soulguider storage belt, and the most important -> a trueform mask - when looking through the mask, you can see through illusions.

I still had a long time to go, and so started to cultivate my skill, and learn about my Martial Soul. I used two herbs to quicken the process. Next, I read through all the books, enhancing my IQ and knowledge. I learnt that a person with my 5power Martial Soul is born once in 5 millennia. I learnt that my Grandfather was Tang San - the God Contra. I practised the basics of how to defend myself and and grow strong in offense, agility, and Soulpower/Soulforce. I upgraded all my skills. I focused on learning the books of Dexter. I now understood about my power, and about my being the bearer of the 'Hellfire Heavenix' - the pet phoenix of mine which turned out to be an Ultra Beast. I wondered about the Legend of another world called Dextopia, the twinworld of Thraeta which together had once been called as Soul Land.

I was simply astounded by it all, about how lucky I was, just as fascinated as I as when reading the books of Dexter in... a place... sometime.
