In a galaxy called the Andromeda Spiral, there were 9 planets ruled by a president called Duke Stain and his wife Nana. Together, they had a child called Symphony 5 years. There were prime ministers in the nine worlds which humans had conquered and each were specialized in something. The nine planets are: Phychist, Veneran, Imperium, Acquarium, Exorcist, Debralanche, Cataclysm, Uranus and Inanimate. They all practiced martial arts using technology and had levels : Beginner, Foundation, Apprenticeship, Physic,Meridian mending, core formation, Body development, Infantry, Nirvana and the Realm of Mysteries which only one, Duke Stain had achieved. The other Prime ministers were stuck at Nirvana with no hope of development. There was a rare phenomenon of the existence of mental masters and there were only ten discovered led by Duke Stain, his daughter, the child of the prime minister of Exorcist called Maple and others. They had all agreed to let Debralanche the training grounds for their soldiers and children for all the conditions present on the other planets were there. There were enemies with unknown powerful masters who always attacked them using undead bodies and condensed souls. They have been trying to identify them but to no avail From their frequent attacks, at first, they were at a great loss but with time , they slowly developed and managed to fight them. Their joined best army consisted of 100 soldiers with 7 mental masters. Mental masters were valued due to their telekanisis ability, long range fighting ability and mental disturbance also, on reaching a certain level, they could control one's soul but after years of dedicated practice. Practicing martial arts could also increase longevity but to a max of 500 years however, mental masters could reach 1000 years on peak dedicated practice but this was rare for even Duke Stain was only sure of 700 years. The worlds were specialized as follows each suplimenting the other establishing a symbiosis in battle and living basics: Physic- Body building and heavy armoured machinery used for mining and heavy duty in battle.
Veneran - poisons and computer viruses used mostly in battle to slow the bodies or disintegret their poisons chemically. Imperium - exoarmours used in actuel combat, and all purpose bots and spacecrafts.
Acquarium - water based technology with flexible suits robots, spacecrafts and planning.
Exocist- inceneration weapons and research on soul control.
Debralanche - teaching and music technology with its influence on the souls.
Cataclysm - Medicine which mainly focuses on how to counter the enemy's poison and soul protection.
Uranus - Spacial technology which deals with transportation through teleportation and integrated weapons and suits with Spacial abilities.
Inanimate - this is where animals were put of all species and of developing species in a large magnificent confined space. They worked on genetically developing new species more powerful and adaptable they also worked on animal robots to train their beasts and for battle purposes.
All these planets had their own rulers with Imperium being the capital where Duke Stain dwelt. Mental masters had only 10 discovered levels theoretically with the highest level practisionaire being Duke Stain at level 7 with the least at level 5. In Imperium just like all the other planets everything was uniquely mesmerizing from their cars, building, their general planet colour, arrangement and transportation lines. Humans and robots passing on the roads but the bot's purpose was only to direct the humans when needed. However prestigious the planet was, they failed to manage one major part, there was an island where the poor, some old and disabled were stationed. The only problem was that not every disabled and old were there but only a few for reasons best known by Duke Stain. There was a boy 5 years in class on the island. The building was rusty and had outgrowths, their desks were made of scrap metal but moderately maintained, they used tablets provided by the school through the mercy of their ruler. The boy was answering a question from the teacher but a certain girl objected his answer giving a better refined answer making the boy's answer an insignificant attempt. He accepted that positively and was enlightened, happy but not angry which annoyed the girl but did nothing for the time being. Teaching and learning continued were they were taught some basic robotics, maths and languages. They did some assembling of robot parts till they were dismissed later in the afternoon at around 1 pm with a homework of making a robot model from scrap. The boy's name was Learmar, the girl went to him when he was packing, pushed him while he was packing and threw his bag which wasn't in good shape either way and asked him how he felt of the sweet defeat with the whole class backing her up. Learmar kepth quiet on the floor and the girl told him to never think about answering a question in class for he wasn't qualified and only she was qualified. Some boys then went and beat the crap out of Learmar leaving him with a swollen eye and they later left with the girl. He later stood not , he never cried nor made any compliment but kept quiet, for his father told him that tears were only for the dead. He packed his things and went limping a little. On the way, he met a lot of some young and old farmiliars and also picked up some scrap on the way. He went to a certain workshop after crossing a border which separated the island in two with one part representing the city with some buildings and better living conditions and the other part which was dominated by large piles of trash, broken electronics, plastics and in the deeper parts, there were lakes of nuclear matter which sometimes resulted to very toxic rainfall and fogs. The workshop was rusty with the owner being an old man specialized in robotics. He put his bag down on a table on the front part of the workshop and went through a door to his garage where he was working on a robot arm, he was trying to get his wrench but Learmar ran fast and handed it over to him. He was happy to see him but on seeing his purple eye, he sighed and asked him if he wanted some tips on dealing with the girl bullying him as he continued fixing the arm. Learmar said that that was nothing and changed the topic to his homework. The man respected his choice and talked of his project as he continued with his work telling him how to do it in the process, expanding his horizons. After finishing his work, they started on Learmar's project , he took out all the equipment they would need. Learmar knew all of them and their purposes due to his frequent visits to the workshop. He was told that the first step was to make a plan which was surprisingly hard and not what he was pictured. The man told him that it was because of exposure. He first needed to think of the bod he needed to make under which, he should consider the functions of the bot. The next step was to draw it like a commander commanding every part to its position after figuring out it's core. Since Learmar was only making a model which was like a shell, he asked the man if shells also needed cores in which he was answered with a yes. Also, he said that it was the most important for from the shells, can a bot take form however, the other vital part was the mother board where all the functions were installed.
They started and the man demonstrated. He firstly pictured all the robots he had ever seen and thought of a combination and started drawing after locating its core using geometry and drew it for only ten minutes then, he started making the shell from scrap he had and within five minutes, he was done. While making it, he felt every material and precisely cut them using his mental energy to shape the pieces and started combining them making a cool robot shell, however, that wasn't the true making method as what he told Learmar telling him that he'd teach him when he reached 10 years. He did another shell using cutting tools showing him step by step correcting him and adding on his knowledge leaving the last round for him to make a shell. Learmar looked at the robot pictures there and came up with his own design. As he was shown, he firstly began by locating its core and drawing it, though it wasn't good, it was a working progress. He started preparing the parts , assembled them but it collapsed. He tried it repeatedly for some hours till he finally got it right and the man approved of it. It was nearing evening and he ran home and found his mother working on her computer on a serious job and hugged her staying with her as she worked. While together his mother taught him a handful of things about her job and computer operation. After the work, she showed him a game called X FORCE, a game of commanders where the only important thing was his ability to adapt and counter a problem. To get an army, there were some questions which increased in complexity depending on the level of the pawn. His mother answered some questions and Learmar just observed. Her mother in turn earned a normal army of archers, defence, horsemen. Her opponents were giant bots with only ancient equipment. Her mother defeated a lot effortlessly just commanding killing almost all but on seeing Learmar's anxiety, she gave him a shot but was defeated immediately shocking Learmar who wanted to cry for with just seconds of thinking of a strategy, all the pawns his mother had were destroyed. His mother comforted him telling him that he should take things slow and start slowly training his way of thinking in which, answering some of the questions from the game. She continued demonstrating and in the simplest way that Learmar could understand. Learmar was so concentrated in that that it felt like he was living the game. His mother was amazed. She had long noticed his purple eye and wanted to ask him of it but seeing his smile, she forgot it. She knew of his bullying in school but his father also knew of it and often said that that was fate. She continued teaching Learmar of how to answer the questions what he needed to do how to command and every single one of the words she spoke seemed to take Learmar's mind to a different world internalizing every word precisely. When night time reached, they took a shower and prepared their dinner. His father also came in tired in a gas mask and a helmet. As per the custom, due to his toxic working conditions, he first took a shower disinfected his clothes and went to the dinning room where Learmar ran to him greeting him. On seeing his purple eye, he ignored it, Learmar on the other hand was happy to see him. They both went on the dinning table where he hugged his wife then started eating. Although they were in a small abode, it was a happy one. They talked of their day's adventures. The television was on and they listened to the news as Duke Stain in a nice black suit with his daughter in a cute blue dress. Learmar looked at the girl and asked his father if she had started practicing martial arts. He was answered that she had which was quite impressive for she had already reached Beginner Level 5 at her tender age. Learmar was immediately jealous hearing those words from his father and not about him. He said boldly that he wanted to practice martial arts. His father looked at him straight in the eyes sternly but he remained unphased. His father then asked him of the reason behind it. It was then that he finally spoke his heart out. He said that he already knew that the world was survival for the strongest and that he didn't want to be left out. His father asked if it was because of his school bullies and he said that it was partly the reason. His father told him that that wasn't a stable drive and without a true drive, the path to martial arts will lead him to an early demise. His father sighed, looked at his food and told Learmar to eat quickly for he had somewhere to take him. His mother looked and her husband knowing that those words were something serious but said nothing. They talked, ate and the two set off in their exercise clothes. Learmar was carried by his father who swiftly moved on the rusty rooftops making no sound at all. He was moving like wind at its pace and asked Learmar to feel it real good. He did so and felt like something powerful was resting him, not just air friction just something but he couldn't explain it. The faster his father went, the stronger the force became till he felt as if his body was about to be cut to pieces. They reached a certain cliff near the sea with a beautiful view of the moon and sat there. His father told him that that was how martial arts cultivation was, against the whole world and those who start that journey experience that but the higher one dived into that, the weaker the resistance for the universe was accepting him, however, he added that there was a possibility of the world and the universe to reject the cultivation and try to stop him from advancing that path which was as rare as it may be , throughout the past millennia, only one recorded was rejected by the world and he had it rough till finally, met a fatal end. However, he added that as much as that may sound as a big threat, the biggest threat in that path was man for he will stop at nothing to see another fail due to jealousy and hatred. His father started hitting him throwing him to the beach, Learmar felt that his bones had all been cracked and started shouting, his father had made a sound proof dome to avoid disturbing the neighborhood, he went to him and told him that that was how painful the path he wanted to start was. He was still wailing in pain and his father told him that without a strong will, he couldn't survive in that world of cultivation and continued hitting him mercilessly though just a child. He asks him if he still wanted to practice martial arts but the only thing Learmar was thinking of was crying from the excruciating pain and didn't have the time to answer. As his father hit him, his brain seemed to be taking a lot of impulses and started evolving there and then, his father smiled and told him that if he wanted to start that journey, he shouldn't drop a single tear. His father stopped hitting him and left him on the ground then asked him once more if he still wanted to start that journey. Learmar's memories were all arranged and started seeing how pathetic his life was, his living area, his school life and finally, said boldly shouting that he was willing collapsing due to the pain and his brain's rapid evolution. His father set his dislocated bones and laughed saying that finally, he could be proud again in that life of his. His wife, Marianna jumped to him from the same building in her sporting outfit hugging him and asked if what he was doing was right. He said with a low tone that they both saw it and it was unavoidable, the terrible future and since it was so, then he will create a glitch in the future that no one ever anticipated as they hugged. They went home and soaked Learmar in a bathtub of hot water and dipped in a blue white coloured pill. The pill had a strong effect that Learmar started shacking unconsciously which for his father, meant that it was working. His father then using qi, made a space for it on his right chest and it started creating its own artery connection, to his brain and to every part of his body even his bones modifying his blood cells and he underwent a little evolution. The pill was an artifact dantian and ot sealed itself in Learmar's body after a successful compatibility. His parents were happy though his mother was a little bit startled by it. They laid him to rest from then.
Morning came up and he felt different as if he was reborn with his bones and mind evolved he could also lift a pen using telekanisis though not for long. He ran to his mother faster with a speed he previously ran with and he was happy. His mother was also happy but told him not to tell anyone of that with a serious face that was the first time for Learmar to see and he accepted it. He prepared and ran to school and on reaching people's range he slowed down. He greeted all his farmiliars while on the way. He reached school and met with his usual mates and it seemed like he alone was the nemisis of the whole class which didn't bother him and this time, his face showed that he didn't care maybe because he had matured overnight, He never bothered to talk to them and walked to his seat. The class went on as usual doing maths and some practical sciences where instead of doing it theoretically in class, they did of it manually, they were shown some of the causes of diseases and how to treat them in hospital even when they lacked precise medicine, there was always a substitute through chemistry. Later on the day, they presented their robot shells in class and Learmar started. Although its design wasn't good, his dedication was clearly seen through it, he at first thought that no one could compare to him however, everyone else's was better than him twice or even more especially the girl's called Stacy. Everyone laughed at him when the results were out but he was evermore happy about it and smiled he said to himself that he will practice harder to reach them and he closed his eyes to clearly feel the atmosphere, the shame he was feeling just made him smile but he said nothing. Stacy saw that and she was scared of what he had done. He looked at the other shells, their designs and he pictured them real good. They went deeper into robotics and when the lessons were over, he took his bag and departed early to avoid unnecessary targeting. He went to the old man's workshop and told him everything about the shells he saw in school describing them not missing a single detail. The man laughed and said that those shells weren't their own works so, he shouldn't feel bad of himself. Learmar knew that himself but said that it still hurted him very bad knowing that they were better than him. The man was impressed at his comprehension and picturing ability but said nothing, he told him that the only way to become better was by reading a lot on the topic and by constantly practising on which they immediately started. The man gave him the reference materials of his research and they did some practice with Learmar making better shells sharpening both his knowledge and shell making skills he was almost at Stacy's level but he wasn't satisfied and wanted to continue, the man told him to go home since it was already evening insisting it. Learmar went home and did the usual with his mother they played the game and he widened his thinking scopes and improved on his thinking capability that he could attempt some questions though they weren't accepted, his mother was surprised with his thinking and she smiled. They continued for a while then took a shower and when his father arrived, si the same, he took him for training they started with the basics like jogging, sprinting with Learmar going all out but to his father, it was he had just taken a small step. His father told him that he had a long way to go and his start was good. They started with the basic martial arts, fighting skills and basic poses. After thoroughly doing that, he was taken to a certain boundary of that island at a different place and told him to enjoy the view and say his feelings out, he held nothing back letting everything out, he said that he was done of being looked down upon by his peers and wanted them all tolick his shoes his father laughed and said that that was the feeling. He took him down to the rocks on the seashore and told him to use telekanisis to lift the Large rocks, he tried but it was too overwhelming, His father demonstrated and said that mental energy was as simple as that sea but his was still and to use it, he had to bring all his thoughts together and make one big wave and finally, he lifted it a massive rock and broke it to sand and illustrated all the ten levels of mental control and their uniqueness fascinating him. He told Learmar that mental energy was from a certain source and got through pills for beginners but on reaching a certain level, he could directly get it from the earth and universe at whole. It was amazing but to reach it that state, he was required to reach level 10 on which a few had ever attained even Duke Stain hadn't reached that level. Learmar's admiration for his father grew even more and started concentrating but kept on failing as if his energy was just collapsing but he never gave up trying after every failure till finally, he was able to lift a smaller rock compared to the mountain size his father lifted. After that achievement they returned home. The next day, he went to school and learnt something new, he went to the old man later and practiced on robotics, he did the same with his mother. Later that evening, his father taught him on meditation but he couldn't absorb energy from the earth for it was rejecting him and if it just couldn't even come into contact with him and he was really saddened. His father reminded him of the situation whereby the universe could reject a cultivator. Learmar said that he did and his father completed his statement saying that in that era, he was the victim. Learmar wasn't sad anymore but instead, he seemed happy as if excited to see what could happen next. His father told him that that wasn't a bad thing as a whole for while he couldn't absorb the energy from the universe naturally, he had a substitute but that wasn't the point, he told him that with dedicated practice, he could absorb the purest energy from the universe which is called Soul energy, energy obtained from souls it was from the intense emotion got from a human or even, animals but he couldn't absorb it yet for he wasn't yet matured and his dantian hadn't yet formed. He told him that he had given him an artifact dantian that he could absorb the energy from the earth and use it as his own. He taught him how to do it, teaching him the art of meditation and he started absorbing it, his father added that since it wasn't naturally his, the dantian's purpose was to convert it to what his body could use and he needed a lot to be an equivalent. His daily routine continued for the next five years and he was now 10years old. He had learnt a lot and could make a perfect robot model, his combat abilities had greatly improved and after years of dedicated cultivation, he was at Beginner level 2 and was at level 1 mental energy. He had most especially taken a lot of time to perfect his commanding and thinking skills. In the game, he could predict almost every situation and face every situation calmly and think straight. They were to graduate that year to go to senior schooling and the last exam was to make a movable robot figure in class and all the materials were ready. They were all seated in class waiting for the starting time, everyone was confident and they started after being permitted. In a little while, everyone had finished their blueprints but Learmar was still on it, drawing it as if he was living it and commanding every part to its place in relation to its core. The exam was 5 hours and he used 3 and a half an hour just making the blueprints whereas most were nearing completion. He then started shaping and hammering the materials he had done it roughly but with a lot of precision. He took his time to do every piece and assembled the pieces at his own pace and finished in the last minute. Their models were taken for grading and Learmar left early as usual with Stacy's eyes focused on him but made no move. Learmar didn't go straight to the old man this time, he went to visit his friend who learnt through apprenticeship through his father and he had experience of the city. They went to check out the city which was better than their side of the island by far. There was no single pile of junk on the road, they were clean, there were also a lot of cars with buildings glowing with life that Learmar wondered if they were still on the same island. His friend told him that there were many money making opportunities there for example, selling robot models, weapons and gaming. He took him to the gaming world and they went to a tall beautiful building. His friend Kite paid the entrance and gave him a little introduction telling him that there were 5 floors ranking from the beginner players to the higher ups in the fifth floor. There were games of every category from racing, fighting, building and all the others. Kite took Learmar immediately to a game of commanders called Luminar where you were provided with a team of five players with labels and you were to have a mask on which Kite already bought at the entrance. The mask would be the the means he would use to command the players and they could move according to his order and no one could hear his command but him.
