Sometime early, Johan was on his way to meet with Bruk and the rest of the Boarskulkers. Finally he will learn about Floá and if he’ll have Eljin or Megin. The morning was cold and the chilly breeze made sure getting somewhere was pretty hard, and as he was approaching the Wolf's Hearth Pub, he was met with only Calak at the door leaning against the stone wall smoking from a pipe and with every puff lots of black smoke was released from Calak’s lips.

  “Good morning Johan, are you ready to go?” Calak said with a crooked smile on his face which made Johan feel a surge of eagerness! “Yes!!!”Johan followed Calak who started going once he heard Johan's answer.

  They both walked side by side on the road, Calak looked at Johan before he started looking forward.

  “Listen Johan, before we get to Blackwald, let me give you a lecture, okay?” Then Calak looked at Johan, “Floá isn't just energy that is in all of us but it’s in everything and everyone but not everyone can use it, how long it takes is different for everyone, for me it took me just a week to awaken floá within myself, and then it took me several years to advance from Hring Megin to the Fjor.”

  Johan stopped and looked at Calak confused, then followed him and asked “Hring? Fjor? What is that?” To which Calak followed “You see if someone awakens their Flóa, they start at Hring. Which is the simplest core and the more you get proficient with your core the more it will grow.”

  “There are eight ranks, Hring is the start and basic ground of all megin then its Thri, Fjor, Fimm, Setti Sjau, Att and lastly Ti which is the highest.” Calak explained and Johan listened to the lecture and if he could, he would take notes.

  While they are on their way out of the city, Johan starts to see how massive and beautiful the town of Borg is, and Calak with his pipe at his lips couldn’t help but laugh.

  “The difference between each step in Megin is vastly based on how one is proficient with its own Flóa Nature, for you as someone who might be Dryw or Briorn is simple, at the start there is six Natures your Floá can tune to, these natures being Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind and then there is Force and Transmutation, these are the six natures of Hring.”

  ‘Six Natures of Hring? So Dryws is basically just a druid!? Elementalist magic with nature that changes properties and one that is straight out of sci-fi!’ Johan thought to himself, he liked the idea of such a simple premise, he was just a little irritated that it's only the basics… Johan wanted to cast a national scale of storms and hurricanes but he must stick with the bonfire and breeze, then Johan looked ahead of himself and see the large stone walls and large gate with few guards at each side, for Johan this is the first time he is looking outside of Borg, not like he knew Borg anyways, he just been there for three days.

  Calak approached the guard, giving them some sort of card. Was it an adventurer profile card? Like those in games or animated series. Johan didn't have any chance to see the card well or any possible way to see the card at all.

  After stepping past the gates, Johan started to see the outside beauty of this new world. Instead of massive gothic buildings, he is met with extraordinary sized trees covered by a weak layer of snow, while loud crows could be heard from the forest.

  “Tell me Calak, if these stages of Megin work for the Dryw, what kind of scaling do you have for the Brions?”

  “It's not as simple as that Johan. While Brions excel in physical strength and Techniques, their Eljun is measured in Arka and there are five of them. First is the head, then both arms and then both legs and it's built in way each part of the body grows differently, and the more proficient it is the stronger the skills can become, but that's not all but we will talk later about it!”

  Calak then stopped and sat down on a boulder after all they had been walking for a while. Johan had followed him and joined him and so he sat down as well.

  “So Johan lets start with the first thing: it's the hardest part of awakening Flóa and that is physical training for next two weeks you will be running around and doing the basic training that should be enough to set a spark within your Flóa.”

  ‘Physical training? Well it's not surprising at all but I was hoping for something more i red in comics or red in other fantasy books!’

  Johan thought to himself before getting up and taking deep breaths in and out “Okey! Here I come!” With that Johan started running pretty slowly and as the run went Johan picked up the pace and ran faster and faster but as fast he started he ended his body was not used for running this long hell his technique was also really bad but compared to his previous life it was slightly better.

  With a few loud exhausting groans he stopped and caught some air into his burning lungs.

  ‘Jeez i must say unlike my old self who was a chainsmoker i hoped this body could be in better shape! But it's not what Johan was doing, clearly it was not working out… I can't blame him’

  After a short break Johan started jogging again he was determined he wanted to become someone in this world but still a hesitation grew within him after all he didn't really know the reason for his transmiguration and that scared him.

  The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  While his mind swirls with hesitation thoughts the forest lost its walking path and become difficult terrain roots sticking out of the ground serves as first obstacles in his way and Johan tripped several times not because he was clumsy but because his mind was not clear and occupied with hesitation and worry.

  ‘What are you doing Johan… I can't even run. It's been less than half a minute and my lungs are burning again. I can't take this anymore!’

  His breath came in wet, ragged scraps. It felt like someone had stuffed steel wool down his throat and lit it on fire. The muscles in his calves kept seizing, little knives twisting every time his heel struck the ground. He told them to shut up.

  ‘Just one more minute and then I'll walk or take a break… Fuck…I am so worthless what would i do for a cig right now’

  Johan's legs trembled but after the sixty seconds had passed Johan dropped to his knees and lay down in the cold dirt like it was a bed still it was better then the bed at home which he didn't know if was just sad or annoying to think about.

  “Well you clearly need more than physical training” Calak said then kicked the sole of Johan’s shoe. “Get up. Twenty minutes and you folded like cheap paper I’ve seen worse. That’s actually decent stamina for you, man. Surprised the hell out of me. But decent is what gets you killed when it actually matters. You’re out here because you’re tired of being the guy who can’t run. So stop celebrating the collapse and start hating it enough to fix it.”

  ‘What? I can't hear him well… my ears are ringing too much,’ Johan said to himself and started to get up.

  “Listen, what depends on your Flóa is determination, that's the key, the more determined you are, the stronger your Floá will get” Calak helped Johan back on his feet and held him for a while.

  “Now with warm up behind us we can start the real thing” Calak smiles with his crooked devious smile and walks with him deeper to the forest after while Johan got a grip and walked on his own.

  Calak hand slides into his pocket and take out a cigar a thick cigar and the place their reach was a small cabin enough for up to three people maybe four but that was all around the cabin were some things that reminded Johan of the public working out area weights made wood and rock there were created long time ago then calak lights the cigar end and take a long drag before exhaling “How much I hate this part” calak whispered.

  “What do you mean Cal-” But before Johan was able to finish his line a some form of energy flew past his head ripping off the end of his long blond hair.

  “Now you would be dead Johan” Caalk said without a single drop of hesitation or even worry about johan health “YOU COULD KILL ME RIGHT THERE!” Johan shouted out angrily but then several more super forces suddenly formed around Calak's arm.

  “That's the training johan dont worry if you will get h??e i have little knowledge about healing so i will bring you back to full power… maybe”

  ‘Eh? M-maybe?’

  “Hold on Calak! You can't just expect me to dodge something that I can barely see, it's impossible!”

  With long drags the ash burned like crimson eyes before Calak flicked the cigar's ash and breathed out a dark smoke.

  “Listen You run twenty minutes straight so your body is adapting to the basics of endurance so be determined and awaken your floa one reflect that's all i want deflect one of my missiles and then I promise you, you will become Dryw within the halfway of this month!”

  ‘That's all? I have to deflect just one just one of his missiles? I see very… well! Here I go’

  Calak with a flick of his wrist the sphere flew towards Johan who still was not able to see them and what Johan did was the basic thing he read in lots of series from his previous life if he cant see it he must make them visible.

  The spheres are flying around and whatever they hits became squashed but it left behind a trail of just which the other sphere blow that was enough to make Johan find the hole and so when he was rushing around he was spreading as much dust as possible

  The dust was slowly picking up the size and density but the spheres continued to follow and hit Johan who was using the dust to read their trajectory allowing him to avoid any hits so far.

  ‘I see that’s how you are thinking, no bad Johan but how are you planning on repelling?’

  ‘How do I plan to repel his attacks… yes I can see them barely but i have no way or idea how to deflect them’ Johan thought to himself while he was running avoiding the spheres of force that fly around him and trying to hit him.

  The place slowly lost its cozy look as the dust kept flying all over the place so Johan now had clear reading to the trajectory of the spell but what now he doesn't feel special or something changing within him.

  "Think… Johan think all you know so far floa is a core that is within everything and the only way to awaken it is through basic physical training and mental health… determination is it? How i can feel determined i want to get strong i want to be someone! Whatever it takes!’

  Johan sprinted forward a fence that had various weapons leaning against it; one of those weapons was a club.

  ‘I will do it, I will repel to the beyond horizon! And become someone!’

  Johan's determination to be someone sparked a unique and really amazing feeling within him; it felt like all his muscles and mind were relaxed yet sharpened like he was in a state between zoning out and hard focus.

  ‘Oooh I'll be damn’ Calak thought to himself and hoped what he was sensing wasn't a fluke so the spheres returned back to Calak and morphed back into one now stronger and larger sphere.

  “Yes that's it Johan Now stay focused and deflect it!” Calak shouted but from where he stood he could not see Johan who clearly wasn't feeling well.

  Johan stared at the morphing sphere while his mind was dozing yet sharp, his ears were ringing loudly and the world around spin like he was on a Roller coaster. Johan's heartbeat was like war drums announcing the march to the war something was not alright.

  Somewhere the power surged through him but then Johan eyes opened wide as a shadowy figure stood in front of him the body was darker then deepest darkness Johan ever seen there was no telling where the face starts and when it ends.

  Calak suddenly felt an overwhelming power that nearby rivaled his own. The sudden combustion of floa erupted from Johan into wide sky reaching pillar.

  But from Johan's perspective it happened completely differently. Johan was in a greyish world that seemed like time had stopped and there was the shadowy figure standing in front of him whose body started to inflate and then pop!

  ‘Wh-what the fuck is this!’ Johan felt the same overwhelming pressure while staring at that figure. His breath was heavier and heavier like he was being compressed under immense weight. ‘J-just who the hell is this, is this something that belongs to Johan? What a crushing power! I am breaking all of myself and shattering under such pressure!’

  The showy figure now takes up a form it had long wavy hair that was like threats it had long slim body that was filled with various symbols he or johan could never understand a two horns Poking out from hide of his head and Ling ears that are similar to elves from fantasy johan red as a child in his previous life.

  “Arent you little stunned seeing me?” The figure whispered and then laughed as it was stretching like it just woke up from a long slumber. It walked to the johan and gently placed his arms on his face “There my little experiment. It's too soon to do this, don't you think but now when you wake up, let me help you.”

  ‘S-stay away!’ Johan thought as the thing stared down into his eyes its eyes were so clean like endless flow of water that could never end.

  “Learning about Floa with this determination crap… Who would believe it still works? Do you want to be someone? Was it well it would be boring if my experiment failed” the figure said and then raised his arm up to the air then quickly pierced its own heart with own hand pulling out without a single hesitation.

  Suddenly Johan's eyes shut down slowly fell unconscious. Calak held onto johan's collapsing body as he walked him into the cabin and placed him into the bed then he walked out into the setting dust as the dust was blown away by Calak a crater the size of a small tunnel was where Johan stood and the sphere was completely annihilated.

  “Who would have known I met someone like him at Borg… Such an output at his age… could what Llorn was talking about be true? Nonsense… Lief Yndrazill and Yndrazill Clan…”
