Synopsis
Feared by minds. Whispered by gods. And known only by those who’ve died too many times to remember. It has no beginning. No end. It simply... is. But even infinity can tremble. From the rift between realities, John awakens. His soul — cursed, or perhaps blessed — bears an unholy burden: A monstrous infant that breathes, thinks... and watches. A second will. A second hunger. To live, he must grow. To survive, he must fight. To reign... He must become what even the abyss refuses to name.

Chapter:1- Promised Land

— Good morning, everyone — Laura greeted cheerfully as soon as she saw John and the girls.

—Laura ! What are you doing here? — Iza said in surprise .

—Good morning, Laura. — Beatriz and John returned the greeting.

—I came to take you to the mayor's mansion—said Laura.

Thinking about it, John would see the mayor in an hour, but now it wouldn't make a difference.

— Let's go then, we were planning to see the mayor anyway — said John

— Let's go.

With Laura taking the lead, John, Iza and Beatriz crossed the city towards the mayor's mansion. During the walk, Laura noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, she turned to Iza and spoke.

— Hey, Iza, what's up?

Iza blushed a little, during a walk, Beatriz and Iza told Laura the inside story of last night, of course they whispered so that John wouldn't hear.

The walk didn't take long, in the blink of an eye, the mayor's inauguration was in sight, as Laura was leading the way, the guards let them pass without questioning or stopping them.

Inside the inn, they found a man in his thirties, he was blond and had beautiful features, refined blue eyes, he looked a lot like Laura, or rather, Laura looked like him.

— Welcome to the mayor's mansion — said the man with a friendly smile

— Allow me to introduce myself, I am Girquinys Fauries, the mayor of Kissala.

— I am, John Venhorst, nice to meet you.

— Iza Wolf, nice to meet you

— Beatriz Kissame, nice to meet you.

— Very well, present him with his medals — said Girquinys

John and the rest showed their medals to the Girquinys, they were surprised when Laura also received an entrance medal.

— Excuse me if I'm rude, but aren't evolution institutes just for evolving beings? — John said as he saw the medal in Laura's hands.

— Yes, you are right — replied Girquinys.

— but then

— Do you want to know why, Laura, a Primitive being has an admission medal? — Girquinys asked and John nodded.

— The institutes are for those who the royal family or the lords find talented and Laura is talent, that's all — Girquinys replied, John was still not satisfied with this answer.

—don't worry , you'll understand soon— Girquinys added these words.

Girquiny moved everything to a facility in a secret location in the mayor's office. Inside it was completely empty, the walls, floor and text were all the same pale gray color.

— You? What am I doing here? — John asked in surprise to the pair of brothers sitting in the lotus position meditating.

— Johnny, the bird's owner — Darck Shadow said with a frown, he showed hostility towards John, from his eyes that radiated battle intent, he believed that if it weren't for Girquinys, he wouldn't hesitate to go after John.

— It's John — John corrected his name.

— It doesn't matter, John, Johnny, Jonathan, it's all the same.

Seeing Darck Shadow and his sister Lusmira, John came to two possible lessons, first, that just like him and his party, Darck Shadow and his sister were also candidates for the institute, the second that perhaps they made it here because of the confusion created by their battle.

John thought the first option was more plausible, if the second one didn't require bringing up this secret facility, but he still decided to ask just to be sure.

— what are they doing here?

— The same as you and your companions, they came through the teleportation matrix to the Promised Land Institute.

It was as John thought, to be honest, John didn't want to get involved with Darck Shadow and his sister, it's not because of the pointless fight from the day before, but because of the words of the, Oni, in the sea of soul, or pair of brothers, are more troublesome than they actually appear to be.

John decided to put distance between them, especially from Darck Shadow, he soon realized that he had a short fuse, people like that didn't take long to run into problems.

Lusmira tried to get closer to John, but Darck Shadow the detective, the little Hummingbird hid deep in John's hair.

— as they are already familiar with consulting others, presenting and making requests.

John and the girls found the pair of siblings, but they still didn't know their names, John knew Lusmira's name, but he wasn't sure, but he wasn't interested in knowing.

Laura also didn't know Darck Shadow and Lusmira, but since her father seems to be in a hurry, she happens to be silent.

— Very well, since you are all here, I will begin activating the matrix, are there any questions? —Girquinys asked.

— No, no — everyone answered in the same way.

— Very well — said Girquinys.

After that, Girquinys poured his spiritual power into the array, he also added some cores, a white light shone symbolizing the successful activation of the array.

—The matrix is activated, now you can pass to the other side— Girquinys told everyone

—You mean that if we pass through the matrix, we will enter the promised land? —Beatriz said.

— Of course , that's what a teleportation matrix is for — Girquinys replied laughing.

Everyone stared at the matrix, it was hard to believe but their journey finally came to an end, as they passed through the matrix a journey that would change the lives of everyone present would begin.

With this matrix as a step, John and his friends embark on a journey full of dangers and endless adventures, there are many ups and downs, there are losses, but there are also many good things.

As no one came out of their momentary stupor, Girquinys spoke again.

—Who will be the first to cross? I believe no one present has used a teleportation matrix before.

In fact, Darck Shadow had used a teleportation array before, but he didn't say anything to avoid unnecessary questions.

— We go first — Darck Shadow said.

Girquinys nodded and said.

— Since you entered as a master and servant pair, simply establish physical contact and pour elemental power into your medal — Girquinys explained

As was known, to enter the institute, there is a need to have a medal in possession to pass through the matrix, but each candidate can take an additional person as their servant, Darck Shadow after obtaining this information from Samueletó, he decided to take his sister as a servant.

Darck Shadow will not plan to treat his sister who he protects as his servant, however there was no more medal, so he will use the stock intended for servant to take his sister with him.

As will be seen in the future, taking a servant to the institute was very disadvantageous, normally no one takes a servant for reasons that will be presented shortly.

Darck Shadow took Lusmira by the hands, the two walked to the center of the array, he poured elemental power into the medal in his other hand.

A white glow of light enveloped Darck Shadow and Lusmira, and they disappeared from the array.

— Who's next? — Girquinys asked.

"I'll go," Laura said excitedly.

As Laura was a primitive being, and therefore did not possess elemental power, she needed the help of her father Girquinys, a white light surrounding her, and she was also absent.

— I'll be next — Beatriz said.

— Now it's me — Iza said, after Beatriz disappeared in a white light, and like the others, Iza also disappeared.

John walked to the center of the array, he took his medal and filled it with elemental power, the array shone and the white light enveloped his body, for a second he felt as if his body was being torn apart and put back together at the same time, when the light went out in the array, John had already disappeared too.

John took form on the other side of the matrix, he looked at Iza and the rest who saw their surroundings with eyes of fascination, he also looked at his surroundings.

John was fascinated by what he was selling, it was simply wonderful, now he understood why this place was called the promised land, the view lived up to its name, he found words to describe what he had before him.

John and the others stood on the edge of a mountain, they had a privileged view that gave an overview of their surroundings.

The promised land is a paradise island in the middle of a vast blue ocean, beautiful headlands adorn the island, a fire in the center of the island radiating moderate heat, buildings that did not even exist on earth could be seen here, these buildings are of a futuristic construction.

It seems that the island was divided into several areas, there were areas where beautiful nature reigned supreme, forests and beautiful landscapes, and areas where buildings never seen before were built.

Majestic and imposing buildings, some were so tall they scraped the sky, John marveled at the senator in his eyes.

Beautiful rivers crossed the island, clean transparent waters, a clear and beautiful blue sky, birds flew over the sky on the island, words are not enough to describe the beauty of this island.

The most impressive thing about the island was the spiritual energy, it was denser than in the outside world, it was about 10 times more abundant, the heated air was so light, John felt his evolution core vibrate with joy.

[Pil, Pil, Pil]

The little Hummingbird greeted João's head and spoke happily, he disappeared from the horizon along with other birds.

— How beautiful — Iza said with her eyes shining, everyone agreed.

[Interesting , who would have thought... This world never ceases to amaze me Oni said of the sea of the soul.

— What is it? Did you notice something? ' John said in a low voice.

[This semi-plane appears to be a Divine realm of a fallen moon]

— Divine kingdom? Divinity has fallen? What are you talking about? — John said perplexedly, he didn't understand a single word of what Ôni said.

[I'll explain this later] said Oni.

— John, you said something — Iza said.

— No, nothing, I just mumbled something, this place is very beautiful — said John.

— welcome to the promised land — A white light shone and a female figure took shape saying these words.

— You're very late — said the woman who just appeared.

— Who are you? — Darck Shadow said vigilantly.

The woman smiled and said.

- there is.. What a head I have, sorry. I'm a titalha, a continuum of the institute of evolution promised land, nice to meet you.

When John and the other interested parties introduce themselves, we detail what should be said.

— There's no time, follow me, the registration is about to start.
