Chapter 43: The Overbal Canyon
On a world very far frohly 60 olden light stood, its head raised forward The lion had deep, blue eyes that were full of depth, a faint color e from within theht flowing from it A majestic air of dominance and power rolled after this fantastic beast in devastating waves, distorting the air itself
This lion currently stood upon what had once been a large mountain peak A flat, even surface was all that rehly three thousandsince hewn off, many years prior
"Why do you think we are alive?&8221; A deep, enthralling voice rang out fro the air to shiver
Another daed peak, its top portion sliced off to mirror the peak the lion was upon, stood opposite the first Around these two peaks was a large, e sands
A massive beast, extre at the lion
Its body was huge, thousands upon thousands ofaround the mountain several times It was shaped like a vast, enorolden fur covering its upper half A pair of large, feathered white wings e body, currently pulled in tightly The mouth, and face, of this creature were a pale white, and draconic in nature
This was a beast long forgotten from this world A Heavenly Quetzalcoatl, or Heavenly Feathered Serpent as it was known
(Exaenes/full/0/0/6/quetzalcoatl-3jpg)
The Quetzalcoatl did not answer, but instead ue out and back in, its attention perfectly focused on the lion before it
"Fourthborn…&8221; The lion sighed, its eyes turning more focused,
"I have decided to take a naer shall I be known as Secondborn&8221; The lion continued to speak aloud,
"If I am to live in this world, I will fulfill the purpose our Father created for us I will beco&8221;
"Not for Father But by my oill To reach the culmination of existence, to achieve the unknown&8221; The lion went on, his voice filled with charisma,
"We are the explorers, Fourthborn! The ones ill take the steps that lead all of existence forward, to bring forth perfection which has never been seen before, ushering in the new Era of reality in which the irand vision expanding outward White light began to fall upon it, as if the heavens the in approval
"I will exceed the purpose Father set for us I will not be constrained by any being, not even Father&8221;
"But for that to happen… Fourthborn…&8221; The lion’s eyes seemed to dim sadly as it turned to look at the serpent
"You iven out by Father must return to me&8221;
"I, Zero, deon, Great Black Bear, and a Titan?&8221; Dorian queried, nodding his head
‘…No applicable permutations exist’ Ausra replied, her voice concise
Dorian shrugged, thinking up other coe of the plateau that housed the city of Potor,into the Great Black Bear, Dorian had slept through the night He’d woken up to a fully transformed and evolved Sky Class bear

The wooden legs of his bed had, unfortunately, disagreed with the weight of his bear form, and collapsed in his sleep Dorian had winced when he saw this When he’d informed the Innkeeper, a portly old man with a friendly siven hilance
Dorian had paid for the bed, and ignored the weird look, and left on his way to shop for a few s at its contents
In particular, a Cloud in a Bottle, a unique type ofhi his fortune
There were three et around Taprisha
The first was reserved for those less well off Physically traveling through the botto soiant plateau
Many would travel to the depths looking for fortune, hunting down natural treasures or Magic Herbs spawned by the laws of the universe You could also encounter powerful beasts in the depths, proving an a econoorganizations The Grand Wind Alliance, the Potor Space Wizards Association, the Graphal Merchant Group, several different co transport options to any of the nearby islands, for a price of course
Some of the spells they cast coulda viable h in natural resources or beasts, safer than the dangerous empty ocean floor
The lastyour own h personal spells, trained beasts, or ic artifacts
The Cloud in a Bottle that Dorian had purchased was a ic artifact hewn froic energy A Wizard that studied Cloud Magic worked with craftsmen to cast the spell Cloud Levitate on the bottle, and store it there Through some arcane process that Dorian wasn’t familiar with, this artifact could repeatedly cast the spell Cloud Levitate
The artifact was reusable, with a short cooldown time It would let you float upward or doard at a decent rate, and move slowly forward or backward
While it had been expensive, Dorian had thought it worth the price, just to have it as an option if he ever needed it, and to provide cover for him if he ever needed to hide or act like a hu it over It was, unsurprisingly, shaped like a bottle, but one e sye cloud could be seen, painted on the sign in dark blue
"Cloud Levitate&8221; He said aloud, activating the artifact
Ian to stream out of the bottle Dorian felt an innate connection form between his soul and this cloud, as it came under his full control
"Woah!&8221; He y He instinctively kne to operate and control it
He sness
Fro on the ground floor, deep and far below Faint white fog for his vision
About aone of the hundreds of stone pathways that had been carved into the side of the plateau over the years There were several rare roups
He took a deep breath, quashing the small seed of nervousness in his heart, and then took a few steps backwards He smiled once more as he looked forward
Without a step of hesitation, Dorian broke into a sprint and hurled hie of the cliff, into the vast ocean of nothingness below
"WOOOOOHOOOOO!&8221; Dorian couldn’t help but yell out as he rushed through the air in his hu past hiiven the unknown nature of the floor below
A few of the people in earshot scaling down the cliff-face gave hi the Cloud in a Bottle cloud clung closely to his body To any of the people nearby, he would see out of the ordinary
Froathered, the bottoness was around twoHis body rapidly hurtled towards this fog, al it
After a few y area As he did so, he put away the Cloud in a Bottle, the protective clouds around his body vanishing
‘Ausra, coon and Titan bloodlines and transforrin appearing on his face
A s began to elongate, densely packed scales starting to cover him It took only an instant for his body to expand, froht of just under two6 and a halfas he finished his transfore six and a half on The process had only taken a single second at most

He had successfully becoon Even better, there didn’t seem to be a soul adaption period needed, and the bloodline was fully grown
‘Ausra?’ The question in hisinto forms you have created from bloodlines you mastered, your soul will not need to adapt You have already adapted to the base forms, the hybrid forms are merely an expression of the base You can always revert back to the base bloodlines’ Her ansas succinct
Dorian soared forward, the wind rushing behind hi speed He felt hi out into the unknown
Well, it wasn’t quite the unknown anye of a map he’d purchased and subsequently memorized
He was headed towards a wide canyon found on the floor of the oceans of nothingness, intent on testing out his Giant Myyr Dragon form, to see hoerful he truly was
After he woke up, he had run through all the simulations of possible combinations of the bloodlines he had mastered
He had found out, to his surprise, that his huht the weakest, was the one that could co to Ausra, humans had theor co or another It was part of why hu other reasons
There weren’t any surprise Abilities or particularly powerful for any of the other combinations he tried With the addition of his Great Black Bear, he was able to create a Scaled Black Bear, a Giant Black Bear, and a Black Bearman, but none of those forms stood out All of them were limited to the Sky Class, with the exception of the Giant Black Bear which just barely reached the Master Class
He’d tried co more than 2 bloodlines, and found that it was possible, but none of the bloodlines he had right now created anything interesting Only his hue with two of his other bloodlines, and even then, he only ed to create weak Earth Class forrow its bloodline, Dorian was currently stuck between two choices
On the one hand, he wanted to pick the Fire Eleic
On the other hand, Evolving into a Black Aive hie perk
He decided toout his new Giant Myyr Dragon for quite a distance The fog around hi as he went lower and lower The fog only existed in the ness The bottom and top halves were completely mist free
Down below, Dorian could h what looked like cracked, broken earth, rey trees with pale leaves dotted the earthen floor, giving the land an odd appearance
Several hundred huge, jutting mountains could be seen, off in front of hional cylinders, shooting off froround several hundred meters in the air
He saw the forh the forest or on the collection of jutting round floor of the oceans of nothingness was quite populated
He craned his neck backward, looking to his rear
A reeted him, dotted with thousands of wooden or stone carved structures
The ‘island’ that Potor City was located on was actually an enormous plateau Over the tens of thousands of years of its existence, hundreds of stone pathways had been carved all the way down to the ground floor Many large structures had been installed near the ground floor or a few dozen or hundred hters scavenging the ground, healing stations, restaurants, tool shops, andtowards one particular jutting h the forest towards it One of the rare metal mines
Such an unusual, fantastic world
Dorian turned his head back forwards, however, as his eyes rested upon a large collection of very wide cracks in the earth, past the collection of jutting erous zones close to Potor City, it was a huge, thirty-hout the canyon, and rare Magic Herbs or other natural treasures were found relatively coic Herbs Dorian had ever seen were relatively normal Soic Herbs that could be called a natural treasure Those were ones that were ie properties
This was ic Herbs of that nature were extree he had received his initial collection of Magic Herbs from had used up any rare ones he obtained, over the years
Soold mints in price, even millions of radually tilting doard as he covered the er in his eyes as he fell close to it, histhe tops of the trees he was passing over
CRASH
Dorian’s large draconic forrey wooden trees as he crashed down hard, unable to find an opening He heard a few panicked yelps of wild ani up a spray of dirt and rock
He was about a e canyon, not too shabby for a mostly blind first juon body rah the forest towards the canyon
