After a grueling hike with the prince, Xavier made it back to his house.
On his stroll, he managed to branch around Leo's and Avon's house and as well get their ID numbers' to have a little chat over the comm. At least it wasn't a total waste of the day.
He opened the door, took his bath and threw himself on his bed.
His eyes wondered around the ceiling of his bed room before his attention retreated to the system.
He opened up his stats.
It hadn't really changed since he awakened. The only difference was the elements and the mana points.

He decided to allocate all his stat points to intelligence.
[Intelligence: 60>>70]
[Daily quest: Have a 30 minute training session everyday.]
[Reward: 10Sp]
'I can do that. Hopefully by tomorrow the VR will be fully up and running. I can use that to train more effectively.'
Another notification popped up.
[New quest: Learn about Eldorian history]
[Reward: 10Sp]
'Eldorian history. Ya, Lyra once said something about a prophesy. Probably I'll ask Leo about it tomorrow. I wonder if they have a library in here?'
He soon got bored of the system and coiled his attention towards his comm.
He scrolled through the screen till he met an about us page.
He read through its entire content and actually learnt a lot.
Apparently, Syllox was founded by the Celestial King during his reign as a military station but over the years has evolved to mote contemporary uses.
He also learnt that there are other SI – Syllox Institutions other than SCC and the Syllox Force. There were Syllox Medics, Expliditionist and others.
After he had concluded explorating the comms features, he let out a wide yawn and streched a bit.
It was time for bed.
He set an alarm on his comm to wake him up by morning and finally fell asleep.

Xavier found himself on a floating land mass.
The setting seemed familiar.
The ominous void rang a bell on his head but he couldn't place his finger on it.
"Where am I?"
[You are in the Omaga realm, specifically on the alterine.]
As he took a view, a force dropped down on him and pressuring him down to his knees.
"What is this?"
[All stats will be halfed every 5 seconds]
The pressure was getting tense. Even the air felt dangerous to breath in.
He soon laid flat on the rocky plane, puking out blood, he couldn't take it anymore.
He was all set to die.
What was this eerie force pushing down against him?
His eyelids shut slowly, his heartbeat dying down simultaneously as his life was being sapped from him.
He was dying. The pressure was too much.
His eyelids finally fell but in the last minute a light fell on him.
It soon migrated round his entire body surface, restoring his stats to normal and reinvigorating him with strength once more.
[Stats are returning back to normal]
It was a spell emanating from a being around there.
Now, where was his savoiur?
The spell was emanating from the being behind him.
The peculiar being spoke, almost as a whisper "What does it mean to be a king, my Lord?"
Xavier turned to see who spoke but didn't see anyone behind him.
Again the voice came, this time from his left "How do you use you powers?"
The voice was peculiar. One of the first voice he heard after his death hence it was difficult to recall.
"How I use my powers isn't any of your concern, now show yourself."
The goddess finally revealed herself, standing by the throne she appeared once again as Aeloria.
"My king, power is not a toy, it is a weapon. A weapon to command obedience."
She poised herself in an austere manner.
"I reincarnated you not for your own pleasure but to be under me. You are the almighty being, a weapon to be used to to wreck the earth and crush oppositions–"
While she yet spoke, another voice spoke from behind. It spoke in a calm manner, ever so gently as a plethora of her existence has been syringed from her.
"No, my Lord. Power is light. It's peace. Your power hold the key to destroy all evil and restore balance. I plead with you with all my heart not to listen to this demoness but to thread the path of good–"
"Silence!", Ravana rebuked Aeloria. "He is a King, you have no right to order him around."
The two voice sounded so similar but yet spoke from opposing perspectives, contrasting the opinion of the other.
The two goddess, engaged in a verbal duel with Xavier as the central receptor to the clash.
Even on a godly class, the common sibling quarrel can never be reproved.
They argued as if should any stop, they would quickly be put to death.
He couldn't take it anymore, it peaked so high.
He punched the ground beneath him as if it were the one he was angry at a pulse of mana infuse with light erupted in a circular front widening it's circumference towards the two goddess, all in a bid to gather their attention. "Stop!"
It didn't have much of an effect on Aeloria but on Ravana…
A crack appeared on her face. It broke through her cloke revealing her true darkness.
Dark scars could be seen running through her face as he tried to cover them with her hand.
Her purple glowing eyes eyes turned in Xavier's direction ready to destroy him.
He ran.
Now that all had been reavelaed, he knew exactly what to do.
He needed to free Aeloria.
He hoisted himself up attempting to shatter the orb drawing away Aelorias power.
In mid air he pulled his arm up and was about to grab the orb, ready to shatter to shards.
His fist already locked into the trejectory to smash.
He froze.
The light around him dissipated.
He was suffocating and loosing points quickly.
Ravana had got him.
He needed to wake up but he was trapped in this horrible nightmare.
The grip got tighter as he lost breath.
There was nothing saving him from this now.
