In a region of lights and reflections.
A figure dragging behind him a sack, a figure relatively very tiny, thread on a ground of a mirror glass that perfectly reflects it.
The ground which is probably a material that reflects light perfectly, even, smooth and especially colorless like it doesn't exist and that makes the figure seems to walks on air, spread infinitely in all direction.
Its very hot here... I even had to add extra three layers of energy coating on my body just to cope with this annoying region...
Above the ground and what the ground reflected perfectly was a sea of white and silvery frothy clouds that stretch indefinitely just like it. And pillars naturally arranged orderly on the ground all pierced this lively clouds.
There really is a lot of creature living inside this clouds. That one swimming there looks like a fish and a snake mix together...
Maybe the reason they are not coming after me is because they can't survive outside the cloud. It might be just like fish in water, the cloud has become their natural habitat, something they can't escape like a prison or like humans trapped on earth...
The pillars that sits on this reflective ground and that seem to sink deeper into the ground after they are reflected; the flower mountain being one of them, are enormous mountains of diamond.
And this diamond mountains sparkles brilliantly as they reflect the light coming from a very large silver star that seem to be rising very slowly from the ground as one gets closer to it, someone like skylar who happens to be the only figure in this region.
"That's another one. You are number five hundred and twenty two." Skylar muttered as he lay his eyes on a three dimensional image in the air just below the cloud of a creature in the cloud, that was mysteriously reflected by certain conditions coinciding in the region. And this happen not to be a rare occurrence as he has seen many on his way.
Not long after, the image like a mirage vanish, he resume is stroll. And after a long time he paused and his presence changed. Also his body emit a green spiritual glow including the sack he is placing on his shoulder.
"One, two, go." After he mentioned 'go' his figure carrying his sack on his shoulder like the wind, head for the silver star with great speed. This action he has been doing repeatedly since he left the flower mountain-he will run in other to cover a large distance, then ease into a stroll, dragging his sack behind him in other to recover his stamina for another intense sprint that repeats the cycle.

After a very long time, Skylar left the cloud and mirror region where the flower mountain is behind, and arrived in a completely different region. A region of relatively gigantic hills, a permanent nightly illumination from the cloudless sky that permits the lights from the heavens.
Where he is now, though it was chilly and foggy, he trudges along, skirting a sandy hill about three kilometers tall beside him.
Here in this new region, with the help of his incredible perception, stealth and earth element manipulation with natural energy, he has been able to keep his life from all fantastical and hungry creatures lurking anywhere you can think off in this region.
There was this time he even came face to face with death but luckily for him he was spared because of his size. In this world, his size relative to predators he can't handle amounts to nothing, he wouldn't even fill the gaps in the teeth of the smallest creature.
Now, after his many encounters he reach a prime location beside the large hill which is part of a range that spans a great length across his path on his journey to the north. And despite the great heights of this set of hills compare to the silhouette of the heaven reaching mountains far in the north overlooking them, they shouldn't even be called hills but bumps. Their couple kilometers height amounts to nothing in this dangerous land he wanders.
"I should take a break." He muttered.
A moment after he drops is sack that has clearly been relived of some of its content, a stone house and two stone golems about seven meter tall rose from the ground in front of him.
Should i just create like ten more golems...
'S', 'K', 'Y', nah that's not wise, the energy fluctuation from that will attract big guys if i really can't hide it...
He picked his sack and entered the wooden house which has no partition inside it.
Having a house and two loyal guards, this must be the peak of life...
Skylar whistling, headed for an earthen dome like a tent at the center of the one-room house.
He entered it with his sack and from it he brought out a thick cloth which he then spread on the hard floor.
I should rest for the next three hours...
Skylar then lie on the cloth with his back while he faced the roof of the dome which serves as an extra layer of protection when he is attacked.

"I still don't know the origin of this sudden wealth." Skylar muttered as he go through is status window.
But just before he could check out the rest, a weird sound wave like the beating of several hearts coming from the depth of the ground like earthquakes disregard the layers of energy coating on his body and rush through his bone.
"Ah..." He screamed out in pain, as the wave inflicted his bones conducting the sound with tremors threatening to shatter them and at the same time it overloads his brain which couldn't properly decipher its frequency.
"Ah...." Finding it hard to bear the pain, he jumped to his feet while still holding his head and screaming. And before he could do something about the sound wave, it stopped abruptly.
"That's crazy" He muttered, but before he could relax, an earthquake of unearthly magnitude struck without warning.
"Not again" He shielded himself with extra layers of energy to protect himself from his house and the dome inside it crumbling like a sand castle.
But not just his house crumbling. He quickly manifest under him a sturdy pillar rising from the ground and lifting him up above as some of the rocks and rubbles falling from the top of the gigantic hills starts to roll down to where he was previously.
That was crazy, and what the hell is going on... (Cough)
After the earthquake seized and the dust dominating the thin fog of the atmosphere settled, Skylar looked to his left on the hill, where a blood red light that has taken over the surroundings originates.
(Wild laughter) "Are you guys for real. Isn't this too much..." He laughed wildly while holding his belly, his source of amusement- what he saw, a blood red eyes, so big it took over all the side of the gigantic hill, with a black ball in it focusing on him or something else behind him and as such might be its pupils.
Then after his delirium with his body and eyes glowing green spiritually, he looked to the distance where the mountain range which continues into the uncompromising fog in the distance is, his side profile in front of the colossal eye. "I see, so i have been under your eyelid since, and i presume those mountain ranges over there, a little taller than these one should be the spikes on your back... " He turned to the eye again, and focus his two mystical eyes on it. "Are you perhaps buried here?" He smiled at it.
"Do you need my help?"
He smiled brighter.

Frozen path, chilly and sharp winds overhead.
In front, in the north is this set of mountain that stood out dominating any creature's view.
This set of mountains are eight gigantic conical mountain arranged in a circle, and above them, what made them peculiar are eight gigantic floating rocks corresponding to each mountain and floating domineeringly over them.
On this white frozen path which stands out mysteriously between purple giant crystal trees skirting its length at both sides, and which seem to lead to the eight overlord mountains of the north, a figure in a dark gold pants carrying a load on his back treks on it, and his aim, the north.
When will i reach that location on the map at this pace. And funny enough this colossal mountains that seems to be few steps away are not on the map and yet i have not even covered a third of the distance...
...
After a couple moons on this white path, on top of this lone figure- Skylar, is the gigantic blue moon- the keeper of time, which seems to be about to touch his head while it also stare along him at the eight colossal spherical rocks floating over the eight heaven-reaching mountains of the north- the overlord, forming a ring around something or someplace unseen.
Also, in front of Skylar apparently is the end of this white path and the beginning of a new one. His journey to the north in search of a help still continues after countless cycle of sprinting, trekking or trudging and sometimes resting in a stone house he commands the earth to manifest for him.
Then a couple hour later, he completed the white path skirted at both sides by giant purple crystal trees, and reached another fantastical region, a perfect picture of paradise.
...
This is kinda familiar...
In front of Skylar as he stood is an unending field of flowering herbs a couple meters taller than him.
The flowering plant of different types hence, different flowers and different color, with most flowers glowing warmly, blend together perfectly to create a stunning image one will label the garden of the gods.
Also above, and within this field of flowers are countless water bubbles floating and reflecting the multicolor illumination of this flower garden.
"According to this map, i am suppose to not enter this place..." Skylar holding the map in both hands while his bag which has reduced greatly in size, is tied to his back muttered and a frown appeared on his face. "... But, i sense a very familiar presence and its coming exactly from within this place."
Should i go in... He looked once again at the garden of the gods.
It shouldn't be as dangerous as what i have experienced in the past... He put behind him, in the sack the map he carefully folded.
And not wasting time, he stepped foot on the ground of the garden. A ground of precious stones, all glittering, and a ground accomodating fallen flowers, all looking fresh.
Not stopping once, he continue with his steady steps towards the location of the familiar presence, through the flowers of the garden, and on the glittering stone of supreme quality, while he ignores the water bubbles that vanish like a phantom when they make contact with his figure.
I have not sensed any danger since, and if this place happen to be the shortest route to where i am going, why did the map say i should not enter but travel that long distance around it...
This doesn't make any sense...
Finally, after a very long time, a time Skylar found very boring due to the liveless vibe of the garden; he reached its supposed center, where the familiar presence is.
