Chapter 1 - A disaster that created an opportunity.

Year 2006 of the Heavenly Calendar in the Continent called Avalon.

Deep within a forest, humans called "The Forest Of No Return", a wooden house can be seen surrounded by gigantic trees. In the darkness of the forest the only light that can be seen comes from that house, a house that looks like it has been repaired hundreds of times and is about to fall apart again. Inside the old house, is an old man with a white beard that's so long that touches his knees, he can be seen seating next to a bed talking to someone, its a boy about 5 or 6 years old with long black hair as rough as a sheep's wool, his skin however is smooth and has a light brown color . As he laid on his almost broken bed, he suddenly said to the old man with a skin tone as if on the brink of death, "Tell me the story again Grandpa?" with a smile of curiosity on his face. (cough ,cough) " ha ha ha, OK Archer, I'll tell you the story again". The boy look attentively at his Grandpa as he told the story. He started,  "Two Thousand years ago, before the Earth got divided into 10 continents, An event we call The Great Calamity occurred.  No one knows how or why it happened, but there was a rebellion in the Heavens which sparked a War. To stop the War, God the creator of all things, used his power to banished the rebels to a planet called Earth, but when the rebels descended from the Heavens a small percent of Gods Power came with them causing the earth to change. Because of this, with talent and strength living creatures on Earth gain the ability to become Gods and ascend to the Heavens. But yet after 2000 years, only 2 known Humans have Ascended to the Heavens."  "So what do I have to do, to go to the heavens, Grandpa?". His grandpa's smile change to a concerned look and then to a look  of pride.

Because of The Great Calamity, thousands of humans died including the animals and plants. During the recovery of The Great Calamity, humans discovered that people started to Awaken.It is described as a gold light glowing in the position of the heart and gold like gas pouring into the body, after which you gain the ability to sense God's Power in the air which flows around us like the wind, we humans call it  Essence. Less than 30 percent of the humans will awaken their Essence in their entire live. The age at which humans can awaken is 12, no one has awaken before that and the longer you take to awaken means that you are less likely to become a God. Although there are ways to awaken faster, but you would require large amount money and resources. Kingdoms are built upon Awakeners and Wars can be decided by the amount of Awakens a Kingdom has, so they are academies to train Awakens at a young age and even tools humans developed to help make Awakens stronger and grow faster.

Archer looked at his Grandpa and said, "Grandpa, you are an Awakener too, Right?"  "Correct" his Grandpa responded. "So how do Awakens become Gods Grandpa?"

In Truth , to become a God, Awakens have to pass through the different realms of power by training and mediating, its a long and hard journey, but every time your realms of Awaken increases, your life span increases also.

The Realms you have to pass through before becoming a God are: Awakened Body Realm, Awakened Energy Realm, Awakened Element Realm, Awakened Soul Realm, Awakened Control Realm, Awakened Master Realm, Awakened Grand Master Realm,  Awakened Saint Realm, and Saint Realm, but normal humans are unaware of the other realms such as the Earth Immortal Realm, Sky Immortal Realm, Heaven Immortal Realm and there are rumored to be other realms before the Realm of GOD. But Archer's Grandfather was not an ordinary human, so he new more about awakens then even the principals at academies would know. And within each Realm they are 10 stages you must pass through before going to the next realm, that is until you meet the Saint Realm.

"So Grandpa what Realm are you in?" said Archer with a big smile on face. "I am at the Awakened Saint Realm 10th stage"

"ooowwow, is that strong?" said Archer, " hahaha, well I can kill all the big monsters in the forest if I wanted too" Archer, with his sleepy face look at his Grandpa and said just before falling asleep, "I want to be a God Grandpa". His Grandpa cried quietly as tears drooped down his eyes and said, "I'm sorry Archer Tomorrow is your 6th birthday but I can't spend it with you, If I did..." and his grandpa just suddenly stopped.

The Next day bright and early in the morning Archer woke up to see a letter that simply said,

"I'm sorry Archer, Its not your Fault, but you might never be able to see me again if you don't become a Saint Before your 20th Birthday, which is something unheard of, but if you do come find me in the Continent Called Brittia, hopefully I'm still alive by then and you should know that you are a special type of human called Do.... "

Just before Archer could finish the letter it turn to ashes and he started to feel a burning sensation in his heart and a bright gold light started to glow in the location of his Heart and more and more of the light surrounded his body, then boom-mm, a bright gold light coming from the sky pierced through the clouds covering the entire forest with its light and showered down on Archer, his hair started to turn white and skin color got even lighter, but most of all his body.

His Body was....
