The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-52

[ A/N:- EP = Energy Power, CP = Combat Power ]

As Athan was looking speechless at his Energy Power, he heard another voice along with a Line in front of him.

[ Would you like to ask some questions or move into the virtual world? ]

Athan thought for a second before he spoke, " I would like to know how can I breakthrough from Energy Plane to Origin Intent Plane. "

[ To Step into Origin Intent Plane, You need at least one intent, Saturation of your energies, and Body stats at 10 Str, 10 Const, 10 Mind. When these 3 conditions are met, You will feel a trigger inside you which you can pull any time. Upon pulling the Trigger You will be baptized by Origin Force causing a transformation to happen in your being. After the transformation, you will be considered to have stepped into The Origin Intent Plane. ]

Athan nodded thoughtfully as looked at the Text displayed in front of him, Just then another line appeared.

[ The Examination will allow everyone an opportunity to step into the Next Plane, Energy Plane-->Origin Intent Plane, Origin intent Plane-->Genesis Conceptual Plane, Genesis Conceptual Plane-->Soul Altar Plane, Soul Altar Plane-->Profound Domain Plane. ]

' Holy Sh!t, there are so many Planes, each plane also would have sub-stages in them I guess...wait. ' Athan suddenly realized a shocking fact as he mumbled, " If The examination conducted by The Myriad Stars Academy considers people at these Power Levels as students then how fuvcking powerful would be the teachers? "

Taking a virtually deep breath, Athan decided in his mind, ' I'll definitely have to stay Low-Key from now on, especially since I have that black whirlpool inside me. '

[ Would you like to move into the Virtual World or ask some more questions? ]

" Move into the Virtual World. "

Just as Athan spoke, The scenery changed in an instant as he arrived on a vast patch of grass with no buildings in sight.

But there were quite a few people around him, and all of them wore weird clothes, He tried to find if Tiana was near him but after sweeping gaze in all directions, he didn't spot her.

Just then, A display appeared in front of him.

[Point Shop]: 10 points.

Evaluation: Weaker than an Ant, No kidding.

Athan was speechless as he looked at his evaluation.

He then checked out the two options.

[ Outfit ]

As he pressed on it, A list of garments appeared.

Athan was surprised to see a vast variety of designs, There were all types of outfits, He even saw cowboy outfits, Religious outfits, Tuxedo Suits, and lots of weird outfits with symbols on them which if he had to say correctly, would be like those superheroes outfits.

As Athan scrolled through them, He came across a simple black outfit which also had a cool looking black hood, Black Mask, and a cloak, It looked similar to Zorro's outfit but with an additional hood and larger cloak which covers all around instead of just fluttering in the back.

' This looks simple, cool and on top of being able to hide my face, it's perfect. ' Thinking about it, Athan selected it by tapping on the image causing his clothes to be changed.

Just then...

[ Tiana sent you a Friend request. Would like to accept? [ Yes ] or [ No ] ]

After being surprised for a half-second, He pressed [ Yes ]

After that, he clicked on [ Friends ]

1. Tiana, Zone No. 21

He looked in the list but after a second her Zone Number changed from 21 to 22 and after that, he felt someone hugging him from behind.

He turned back with a smile, " Tiana? " But after looking at her, Athan was surprised because of her costume.

She looked like a pale specter, she had multiple layers of pale clothing over her body and a ghost skull mask on her face.

" Umm Athan...I choose this costume because...you know we have to stay a bit low-key here otherwise..." Tiana hesitated after that and as she was finding words to continue...But Athan interrupted her by shaking his head with a loving smile, " I know what you are trying to say..."

He then grabbed her virtual hand before continuing, " Men lusting after beautiful women is a universal truth, And I understand that I'm very weak right now, like Weaker then Ant hahaha. So you as my beautiful wife being very understanding is my fortune. "

Tiana's skull face nodded her head hearing Athan's words as she felt the happiness of being acknowledged.

Athan then asked, " It looks like you were not here before but arrived after I added you to friend's list. "

" Yep, You can change your zone if you want to. I was in Zone 21 and after adding you, I pressed on your name and some options appeared, in which I pressed [ Zone Travel ] and it asked me if I want to travel to zone 22 near your location. " She answered Athan's doubt.

Athan then also pressed on Tiana's name and some options appeared.

[Profile]

[Zone Travel]

[Duel]

[Remove]

Among the options, [Zone Travel] was greyed out, possibly due to them being in the same zone, He then looked at the [Profile] option and pressed on it.

Just as he pressed on it, Tiana received a message.

[ Would you like to grant Athan permission to view your profile? [ Yes ] or [ No ] ]

Tiana pressed [ Yes ] and information about her appeared on Athan's display.

<-Tiana->

[~Stats~]

STR: 7

EP: 28.8

CP: ~

[outfit ]:- Skull Specter

[Friends]:- Athan.

[Point Shop]:- 10 points.

Evaluation: Weaker than an Ant, No kidding.

After looking at her stats, Athan told Tiana about how one can step into Origin Intent Plane.

Listening to Athan, she nodded and said, " Looks like I need to refine my body and transform my Psychic Realm into my Mystic Realm and clear the black impurity in it, Only after that I will feel the trigger. "

" Yep, And I was told that everyone will get an opportunity to step into the Next Plane during the examination but I don't know how they will give this opportunity, Anyway Let's check the [ Point's shop ], I wonder what and how we can buy things "

Saying this, He pressed on the [ Point Shop ] causing a new display to appear which had a list of many things with descriptions.

Each row contained 3 items and the very first item was actually useful for Tiana.

[ Mystic Mind Clearing Pill ]

- Eating the pill will cause one's Psychic Realm to transform into Mystic Realm before clearing inner demons by cleansing the mind of negative thoughts and also clears black impurities.

-Cost: 5 points.

Just after he finished reading, He heard Tiana asking, " Should I buy this pill? But how will I eat it in this virtual world ?"

" Oh....nevermind, it says the pill will work even if I eat it in the virtual world. "

Athan thought for a second after hearing Tiana's words and said, " This behemoth Academy should have their own magical means, So just buy it and eat it, Anyway I guess that opening Mystic Realm and getting Mystic Energy will likely increase the chances of passing some tests. "

Answering with " Mhmm " Tiana bought the pill and ate it after it appeared in front of her.

Athan then continued to look at other things in the shop, There were weapons, equipment, Spellbooks, and pills in the shop window which showed them in a grid format.

As Athan continued to scroll down, He was surprised to see a new type of item.

< Elemental Intents- Requires respective elemental energies >

[ Fire Intent Plate ]

-Cost: 10 points.

...

As he continued to scroll down, He saw another type of thing.

<Mystic Intents- Requires Mystic Force to cultivate energies of these Mystic Intents>

Under this title were strange Intent Plates like [ Sword Intent Plate ], [ Mace Intent Plate ], [ Bow Intent Plate ]...all these Plates also cost 10 points and had an unknown amount of percentage to comprehend them.

...

Looking further he saw even stranger intents, [ Bleed Intent Plate ], [ Corrosive Intent Plate ], [ Heavy Intent Plate ], [ Speed intent Plate ], etc...

He pressed one of them for detailed information.

[ Bleed Intent Plate ]

-Your attacks infused with Bleeding Energy will cause bleeding to your opponent and it will not be stopped unless the opponent has Cure Intent Energy or some certain kinds of pills.

" Incredible....." Athan mumbled as he looked at the display.
