Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

With a few fresh bite marks and bruises, Vahn retired to the peak of a vast plateau that was nearly 100km in height and 6,000km in diameter. This was one of many special training locations within the Ninth Layer, and, more often than not, it was the location where people like Goku, Ichigo, and Roger sparred.Though he would normally only venture to 'Heaven's Arena' for training, Vahn's purpose this time around was simply to have a bit of privacy. He was about to create what Da Vinci hypothesized to be one of the four most powerful Templates he could possibly create, a being simply known as 'The Law of Identity'.As was often the case whenever he was stuck on something, Vahn could trust Da Vinci to help him come up with the best possible solution to his problems. She knew he was trying to find a way to help the Templates he created to develop True Egos. Thus, after a lengthy conversation regarding the very structure of reality, they determined that the Laws of 'Identity', 'Abstraction', 'Oblivion', and 'Null' were the fundamental concepts that accounted for every potentiality in existence.The Law of Identity, as the name implied, was what allowed all beings with an Ego to recognize the existence of themselves. It was this ability to identify and distinguish themselves from other things that allowed for the existence of sapience, and, as a result, everything in 'Order of Creation' was a byproduct of Identity. This included the Records themselves, as, on their most fundamental level, it was the amalgamation of countless dreams, derived from the perception of countless 'individuals', that gave them structure.Since the Law of Identity was such an intrinsic part of 'everything', Da Vinci hypothesized that it was the key to unlocking the true potential of his [Universal Mind]. This only problem was, even with his and Da Vinci's combined understanding of The Path and the very nature of reality, understanding a concept such as the Law of Identity was simply impossible. He could potentially circumvent his lack of comprehension with [Keeper of the Akashic Tome], but, much like everything else he had named with the remarkably powerful Innate, it would invariably be tainted by his perception and desires...Shaking his head, Vahn adopted a lotus position in order to completely clear his mind of wayward thoughts. He knew that the act of creating a Template based on a concept that simply couldn't be defined was already an 'impossible' feat to perform. After all, any appearance, personality, or traits it possessed would drastically reduce the power of the concept since they were all things that could be clearly defined. This was a contradiction of the Law of Identity's very existence, representing 'all things', so the best thing to do was discard any and all expectations. That way, even if the Template he created simply 'didn't exist', at least as an individual entity, he would have at least confirmed one of their theories...---Without knowing exactly how much time had passed, Vahn slowly opened his eyes, smiling as he noticed the vibrant plant life that had spread around him. There were even a few small life forms in the area; tiny bugs with gem-like carapaces and a creature similar to a butterfly except for the fact it had crystalline wings. This was an increasingly common phenomenon whenever he used the Mantra of Eternity, one which Da Vinci was keenly interested in since the byproducts of his meditation were generally impossible to analyze.Though he was also extremely interested in the mysterious lifeforms that possessed similar qualities to his blood, Vahn discarded all thoughts as he activated [Universal Mind]. Then, without forming an image, he attempted to will the Law of Identity into existence.Vahn's hope was that his comprehension of the Law of Identity would be the only thing interpreted by [Universal Mind], but, unsurprisingly, things didn't go exactly as planned. His subconscious had a tremendous influence on the Templates he created, so, by attempting to bypass this, he effectively left only one source for the Innate to draw inspiration from: the subliminal desires and preferences that had become an intrinsic part of his character.Feeling a sensation similar to a balloon swelling within his mind, blood erupted from Vahn's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He felt like the mysterious energy produced by [Universal Mind] had melted his brain, and, were it not for his ability to simply recreate himself and recover from virtually any injury, there was a very real chance he might have died. Instead, the feeling of his brain swelling quickly receded, his blood evaporating into a hazy pink mist as a cooling sensation washed over his mind and quickly spread throughout the rest of his body.Opening his eyes, Vahn wasn't particularly surprised to find a young woman with vibrant red hair staring back at him with a curious glimmer in her rust-red eyes. What did surprise him was the fact that she was wearing slightly transparent, pure-white, lingerie. This included a pair of stockings that seemed to struggle with containing the woman's plump thighs, and, most notably, a garter belt that perfectly accented the intricate lace panties that could stir the hearts of even the most rational men.Since his 'instincts' told him that this girl was fabricated in accordance with his preferences, Vahn's eyes briefly wandered to her rather modest chest as he asked himself, ("Is this the result of so many girls with modest breasts asking me about my preference? I honestly thought I had a preference for more 'motherly' women...")Though she knew he wasn't actually talking to her, Sis issued an amused giggle before stating, (*I believe you may have mistaken your comfort bias with your actual preferences. Physical attraction and preferences rarely have anything to do with personal comfort. Rather, they are the traits that stir your urges and inspire you to 'action'. You have a lot of appreciation for women with motherly traits, so, while you are able to relax around them more easily, the way you view them is drastically different from how you view potential lovers. If I had to actually define your preferences...you like petite women with red hair, lively personalities, toned butts, and soft thighs...*)Staring at the woman smiling back at him, Vahn couldn't deny that she fit the Sis' description to a remarkable extent. She was around 156cm in height, possessed facial features that made her seem 'bubbly' even when she was just smiling, and, though her breasts were rather modest, the rest of her body was lithe, toned, and incredibly soft-looking. She also had two large ahoge popping out from the top of her head like antennae and a rather unruly ponytail that gave off the impression that she was a very free-spirited young woman.Deciding it would be a little awkward if he just continued gawking at the lingerie-clad young lady, Vahn pulled out fur-lined parka from his Inventory. The Heaven's Arena was remarkably cold, and, though it didn't seem to bother her in the slightest, having her staring back at him in nothing but her underwear was a little distracting. Even her aroma seemed to match his preferences, emulating the strange earthy fragrance he had experienced from the peculiar bunny tribeswoman back in the Akamatsuverse...Rather than accepting the parka, the red-headed beauty titled her head to the side, giggling as she adopted an even more radiant smile and remarked, "You're weird. You went through the trouble to give me this appearance and now you want me to cover it up? I refuse~!"Like a spring that had been under high tension, the girl followed her exclamation by pouncing on Vahn, forcing the air from his lungs as she hugged him with monstrous strength and added, "I want you to look! It makes me feel all ticklish and fluttery on the inside! Come on, you don't need to hold yourself back on my account! Let's have fun together, nyahahahaha~."Though it wasn't his first time dealing with someone who possessed ridiculous strength, Vahn felt a cold sweat break out across his body as he realized he couldn't offer any resistance at all. He could feel his bones and organs being crushed into a meaty pulp, and, if not for his unique constitution, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that her seemingly innocent hug would have killed him...-----------------------------------------------[Status]Name: [ ], Sobriquet: ErrorAge: ErrorRace: ErrorPosition(s): ErrorStrength: ErrorToughness: ErrorIntellect: ErrorAgility: ErrorControl: ErrorShinsu Resistance: ErrorShinsu: ErrorSoul Tier: ErrorKarma: (-)Innate(s): [The Law of Identity(Non-Standard): (-)], [Avatar of Akasha(Non-Standard): (-), [The One Who Represents The Beginning(Non-Standard): (-)], [Paradoxical Omniscience(Mind): (-)]Skill(s): Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error, Error...-----------------------------------------------Expecting to find some answers by investigating the incomprehensibly powerful woman's status, Vahn was at a complete loss for words when he noticed everything but her Innates were listed as 'Errors'. This was something completely new, and, though she was able to see it for herself, even Sis couldn't make sense of the nameless girl's status. It was impossible for a being to exist outside the scope of The Path so there was no reasonable explanation for why her status and parameters were all listed as errors...Since even Sis didn't have an answer, Vahn grabbed the shoulders of the mysterious redheaded girl who seemed to be enjoying the 'squishiness' of his body quite a bit. This was enough to garner her attention, a glimmer of amusement visible in her rust-red eyes as she answered his question before he could even ask, musing, "How am I supposed to know when even my Creator doesn't? All I know is that I have always been here."Punctuating her words, the unnamed woman pressed at the very center of Vahn's chest, her finger piercing through his solar plexus and somehow coming into contact with the rainbow-hued crystal that represented his Ego. This caused Vahn's body to shatter like broken glass as an indescribable amount of pain spread throughout his entire existence.Surprised by the fragility of her Creator, the unnamed woman showed a very fretful expression as she exclaimed, "Ah! Why did you break!?" before flusteredly gathering the pieces of his shattered Ego. This wasn't something others were even supposed to be able to interact with, but, as if such restrictions meant absolutely nothing to her, the girl was somehow able to piece him back together like the pieces of a puzzle.With his Ego restored, Vahn's body quickly became whole once again, his face paling as he looked up at the red-headed beauty staring down at him with a radiant smile on her face. This was one of the first times in a long time he felt completely helpless, as, even though she was listed in his Unit Management, every single value related to the woman was listed as an Error. His instincts told him that she would obey his commands, but, at the same time, he got the impression she would just be humoring him to alleviate her boredom...Fortunately, Vahn had matured considerably since his encounter with Tiamat nearly three-hundred-years prior. He still felt helpless, but, rather than regret a decision he had already made, he forced a smile as he adopted a seated posture and said, "Take a seat. We have a lot of things to discuss..."Rather than obey him immediately, the red-headed girl adopted a playful smile on her face before promptly turning around and wiggling her butt in his general direction. Vahn had to admit it was quite the remarkable sight to behold but he couldn't help but feel a sense of danger as he noticed the perky white cheeks seemingly 'lock on' to his lap. Then, before he could hold up his hands and tell her to control her strength, the unnamed woman ended up vaporizing his body as she impacted him with enough force to split the Heaven's Arena in two...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Da Vinci still the MVP','The truth has been revealed~!','What a way to go...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

Deciding it would be best to avoid further risks, Vahn slowly reformed his body before manifesting as his Realm-self. Throughout this entire process, the nameless redhead just watched him from the side with an intrigued smile on her face, seemingly very interested in everything he was doing.Noticing the change immediately after it had happened, the mischievous redhead adopted an even more prominent smile as she remarked, "You got bigger~! Amazing!" in a cheerful tone.Still feeling the same helplessness as before, a dry laugh escaped Vahn's throat as he attempted to preempt any further disasters by saying, "You need to learn how to control your strength. It is fine to be a little playful, but your antics will put everyone else in danger..."Tilting her head to the side, the redheaded woman seemed genuinely confused by his words as she asked, "I'm not really strong though~?" with her index finger touching her chin.Resisting the urge to point out they were currently seated with a 6000km long crevice formed from her attempt to sit in his lap, Vahn tried being more direct, stating, "Just don't destroy anything..." in an exasperated tone.Appearing even more confused, the befuddled beauty tilted her head to the left this time as she remarked, "Eh? Destroyed? You're not making any sense." with slightly furrowed brows.This time around, Vahn didn't hesitate to point out the devastation around them, gesturing to the bisected plateau as he explained, "This type of devastation is unacceptable. If anyone else had been present, they would have been annihilated. I know you might not mean any harm, but I can't let you interact with the others if everything you do puts their lives at risk..."No longer smiling, a frown that didn't suit her appearance in the slightest marred the girl's face as she exclaimed, "What are you talking about!? I haven't done anything since I got here! You're the one that keeps breaking everything, you dummy head...!"As if to prove her point, the girl began to stamp her foot in frustration. This time, however, there was no feedback when her foot contacted the ground. Even the dust in the area was completely undisturbed by her actions, perplexing Vahn to the point all his mental faculties momentarily shut down...Though she was just as confused as Vahn, Sis and her countless iterations were hard at work trying to make sense of the current situation. When she heard the woman's words, she began replaying all of Vahn's interactions with the anomalous entity thus far. This caused an uneasy silence to descend upon the normally bustling observation room, as, no matter how recent the memories, there wasn't a single trace of the woman present in any of them...Quickly sorting through their vast archive of information, Sis felt a 'cold sweat' for the first time in her life as she attempted to give Vahn something, anything, to work with, explaining, (*She seems to possess a Nonexistent Physiology or exists outside the Causal Axis of Reality...I know this might sound a little strange, but try throwing something at her...*)Coming back to his senses in response to Sis' suggestion, Vahn frowned slightly as eyed a nearby stone. His intended target also followed his gaze, seemingly understanding his intentions. Despite this, an amused smile immediately spread across her face as she cheerfully remarked, "Go for it~!" without a single sign of fear or trepidation.Since even the 'person' in question was suggesting he follow Sis' advice, Vahn hesitantly picked up the stone before lightly tossing it toward the smiling beauty. Unsurprisingly, despite causing his brows to raise quite a bit, the stone simply phased through her body. This effectively confirmed she had a form of 'Acausality', the ability to act unrestrained by conventional cause and effect. This was the answer that made the most sense, as, if she truly had a Nonexistent Physiology, she wouldn't be able to affect the world through her interactions with him...Realizing the implications behind this revelation, Vahn began to massage his head and temples with an exasperated expression on his face. It basically implied that her power was directly proportional to his perception of her, and, rather than destroying their surroundings, it was his overexaggerated reaction that led to Heaven's Arena being destroyed. This was troubling for a number of reasons, as, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a feat even if he went 'all out'...Shaking his head, Vahn decided he would look into testing the true limits of his power in the future. For now, there was something he needed to test, so, while doing his best to assure himself that the adorable girl seated before him wasn't actually an incomprehensibly powerful monster, he reached out his hand and began to pat her surprisingly fluffy hair. It actually seemed to get softer with the passage of time, seemingly adapting to his perception of its feel and texture...Enjoying having her head caressed, the red-haired beauty's expression melted into a lax smile as she began to giggle in a contented manner. Shortly after that, however, Vahn was compelled to retract his hand after it literally sank into her head, almost like she had suddenly become a slime or a Doppelganger. It was a very peculiar change, and, if not for his interactions with Doppel and Illya, Vahn would have been a lot more perturbed by the amorphous nature of her 'body'.Upset that Vahn had stopped caressing her head, the petite anomaly adopted a slight frown before immediately pouncing on him with an, "Ei~!". Vahn reacted to this by assuring himself that the girl had no power, but, much like when he was facing an incomprehensibly powerful blow, the flow of time seemed to stagnate as the world gradually lost its color. He suddenly found himself unable to move a muscle, and, though she appeared to be moving in slow motion, it took, quite literally, no time at all for the girl to impact his chest...---Feeling a ripple through the fabric of time and space, a woman with two-tone white and black hair, much like Kenshin, spontaneously opened her eyes. She had large pointed ears atop her head, pale-pink eyes that possessed rings of light instead of pupils, and a short tail that, much like her hair, was white on one side and black on the other. As for her clothing, she appeared to be garbed in a form-fitting black garment that vaguely resembled a bunny suit, black stockings with a matching garter belt, a long-sleeved white top that extended to the tips of her fingers, and white boots with very prominent heels. All of this was adorned with golden trimmings, glistening green gemstones, and, most notably, two long ribbons that ran from the ring-like ornament near her lower back.Though she had the appearance of a taciturn and intelligent beauty, this peculiar pointy-earned woman was none other than Arceus, the Creation Deity of various Pokemon Records. She was an exceptionally powerful being with the capacity to produce a Pocket Realm despite being restricted by Vahn's Soul Tier. This was largely thanks to her surrogate sons, Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina, but it was still a remarkable feat considering she was severely weakened due to Vahn's 'mishap' and her own expectations.Sensing that her Creator was experiencing duress, Arceus didn't hesitate to teleport directly to the Ninth Layer, her aura flaring out to stabilize the chaotic space that was on the verge of collapsing into non-existence. The fact the Ninth Layer was in this state made her feel extremely panicky, but, showing absolutely no change in her expression, Arceus followed her instincts. This allowed her to manifest next to her Creator in an instant, ignoring time, space, and distance completely.Finding the Creator appearing as a cloud of anomalous black ooze that resembled a nebula, Arceus manifested countless cloth-like hands formed from a shadowy-black material. Each of these allowed her to literally 'grasp' the fabric of reality, contracting and forcibly stabilizing the surrounding space until it had formed an isolated sub-dimensional sphere. After that, Arceus fearlessly approached the nebulous black ooze, her expression calm even as it began to envelop and spread across her body...---Sensing a familiar warmth, Vahn opened his eyes to find a stoic beauty with bronzed skin and tiny green dots under her eyes staring down at him. There was also a softness against the back of his head so it didn't take him long to realize he was currently receiving a lap pillow from Arceus. This caused a natural smile to spread across his face, an expression that promptly froze when the usually expressionless woman suddenly returned his smile...Since he had just been about to greet her, Vahn was left unable to respond even as Arceus placed her hand atop his forehead and asked, "What happened here? I never imagined such destruction would occur within the Little Garden..."After peering through his memories and noticing that Arceus had never actually smiled, a frown immediately spread across Vahn's face as he rose to a seated position. He noticed that the Ninth Layer had been completely destroyed, the previously boundless and extremely durable expanse of space now little more than a destructive and chaotic abyss. It wouldn't take him very long to fix this, but the fact it had been destroyed as a result of his perception the Law of Identity's existence was a haunting thought...The very instant she crossed his mind, Vahn found himself staring at the red-headed beauty, now with an apologetic smile on her face as she drooped her shoulders. This caused him to instinctually regress back to his Record manifestation, fearful of what might happen if she forcefully reinstigated contact between them. The amount of destruction seemed to be proportional to his own power, so, with his Realm manifestation having functionally unlimited power, Vahn wasn't willing to take any chances.Gesturing for the Law of Identity to remain silent, Vahn looked toward Arceus in order to gauge her reaction. This was a little difficult considering she practically never showed emotions, but, thanks to their connection, he was able to quickly intuit that she was wholly unaware of the Law of Identity's existence. Rather, the moment he looked towards Arceus, Vahn had the impression that she and the Law of Identity were one and the same.Feeling profoundly exhausted, Vahn turned away from the increasingly confused Arceus to find that the Law of Identity had spontaneously manifested again. Her existence seemed to be directly linked to his perception of her, so, unless he was willfully perceiving her at all times, she simply 'ceased' to exist. During those moments, her existence seemed to overlap with others, and, though he had yet to confirm it, Vahn got the distinct impression that her existence was now intrinsically linked to all of his Templates.Though he couldn't deny that it had been his intention to use the Law of Identity to help his other Templates develop a True Ego, Vahn never anticipated that she would actually manifest with power similar to the concept she embodied. There was even a chance she was linked to the actual Law of Identity, sharing her existence with literally every creature that existed within the Records. This was a rather terrifying thought, as, even if she wasn't actually able to act through them, Vahn felt uneasy imagining the somewhat ditzy red-head as a part of everyone he would ever encounter.Realizing he had seriously underestimated himself and The Path, even though neither had any limits to speak of, Vahn resolved himself to be more conscientious of his decisions in the future. He didn't regret creating the Law of Identity as a Template. Rather, if she had the actual power of the concept she embodied, it virtually guaranteed that his other Templates would be able to manifest a True Ego in the near future. The only thing he lamented was his own inability to comprehend the true nature of her existence, the clear cause of all the destruction that had transpired...Shaking his head, Vahn shifted his attention away from the Law of Identity, the latter vanishing from his perception the moment he took his eyes away from her. Then, understanding she was extremely worried about him despite her stoic and unperturbed expression, Vahn began to caress the top of Arceus' head, smiling as thanked and assured her that everything was going to be okay...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'What is this fuckery...','The most dangerous Bakadere in existence...','I wonder if Arceus is truly the one Vahn is trying to convince xD...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

Not expecting such a nonchalant response, Graham stared back at Vahn for several seconds before issuing a light chuckle and remarking, "I see. Well then, I take it you won't mind if we monitor your exploits from here onward...?"Shrugging his shoulders in a lackadaisical manner, Vahn continued to smile as he answered, "I enjoy my privacy, but I also understand some things simply can't be helped. So long as your organization doesn't go out of its way to try and intervene in my affairs, we will remain on amicable terms. As for Phae, she will move up through the ranks of the Workshop before revealing the answers to a few of the questions you have sought after since time immemorial. You probably saw her as nothing more than a talented artisan previously...the truth of the matter is that she is so much more..."To emphasize his point, even though Phae wasn't the one who forged it, Vahn manifested Laev-tan in a burst of brackish flames. This caused Graham's calm aura to surge outward slightly, but, quickly realizing he wasn't under attack, he began to scrutinize the blade with increasing enthusiasm visible in his glowing silver eyes.Noticing the man lift his hand, Vahn allowed Laev-tan to vanish before he could ask to inspect her more closely. Then, before Graham could be too disappointed, he explained, "There is much we can learn from each other. Unfortunately, now is neither the time nor the place. Temper your curiosity until Team Wolf Pack has reached the 20th Floor. When the time comes, Phae will serve as a bridge between our two organizations."Stroking his beard, Graham adopted a thoughtful expression as he spent several moments staring directly at Vahn. He quickly realized that, while he could see, sense, and even analyze the man, he was unable to actually learn anything about him. The Shinsu in his body was abnormal, possessing an ambiguous quality that made it seem thin yet extremely dense. Even stranger was the peculiar feeling of 'emptiness' he got when trying to sense the man's potential...One of the main requirements for becoming a Teacher was being able to see through and analyze the true nature of an object, person, or place. Many could even analyze the structure of a person's Soul, effortlessly determining what kind of person they were based on its color and stability.Graham was one of the Teachers who could determine a person's potential based on the structure of their Soul. It was this ability that led him, and many others, to support Jahad during his ascent up the Tower. The man had possessed a truly remarkable, seemingly limitless potential. They genuinely believed he had what it took to surmount the Tower, but, unfortunately, he had disappointed them beyond comprehension by choosing to become a 'King' instead.When he was looking at Vahn, the first incongruency Graham noticed was that the 'entity' seated across from him didn't possess a Soul. Despite this, he radiated a tremendous amount of vitality, so much so that it seemed boundless. This impression became progressively stronger the longer he viewed Vahn, almost like he was viewing a reactor capable of producing infinite energy rather than a living creature...After allowing Graham to scrutinize him for more than a minute, the edges of Vahn's smile curled up slightly as he activated the State of Nothingness. This caused the man's brows to raise quite a bit, but, before he could ask, Vahn issued a light chuckle before asserting, "I believe we both have other matters to attend, Mr. Graham. Be sure to give my regards to the Great Father...I'm certain he will find this matter most interesting..."Though he wanted to stick around and ask Vahn all kinds of questions, Graham understood when to push and pull. If Vahn was truly an Axis User, he wasn't an existence they could afford to offend. They would need the assistance of Phantaminum in order to oppose him, but, considering the latter had slaughtered his way through Jahad's Palace before subsequently disappearing for thousands of years, requesting his assistance wasn't really an option.Deciding it would be best to report this matter to his Master as soon as possible, Graham was the first to rise to his feet, bowing politely toward Vahn before saying, "I look forward to our reunion on the 20th Floor." Then, with an amused smile on his face, his body changed into a cross-shaped light construct before collapsing in on itself and vanishing without a trace.Finding the man's flashy departure rather amusing, Vahn issued a light chuckle before shaking his head and returning the two chairs, table, and tea set to his Inventory. Afterward, he performed a few light stretches, loudly popping his neck and back before pulling out an apple and manifesting the Little Garden...---With many of the core members of the Lo Po Bia Faction disappearing overnight, taking most of the Faction's assets with them, an unstoppable wave of change began to sweep through Paradise Bay. It was almost like a revolution had occurred, and, though selfishness and corruption were guaranteed to ruin things, a tentative peace had been established through the unification of the major factions.Unfortunately, with no desire to spend an entire year on the 5th Floor, it was only a matter of time before things devolved back to their previous state. Vahn had tried to circumvent this by coming to an agreement with the Floor Guardian, but, with the contract stipulating that he, personally, remain on the Floor for a hundred years, he had little choice but the refuse.Though he could potentially create a Template to serve as a proxy, Paradise Bay was ultimately just one of many settlements that existed on the 5th Floor. If he wanted to bring about real and lasting change, he would need to tackle the source of the problem directly. Focusing on the symptoms had very little impact in the grand scheme of things, as, the moment they moved on from the 5th Floor, even the people he had previously saved might meander down a dark path.Unless you had tremendous power and authority, the Tower was not a kind place for those with a benevolent or magnanimous nature. There were millions of Regulars competing for the chance to reach the top, and, much like the 2nd Floor's Deathmatch Test demonstrated, they were willing to do whatever it took to ascend. Betrayal was extremely commonplace, and, more often than not, a Regular would go through dozens, if not hundreds, of teammates before they finally reached the 134th Floor.Only by reaching the 134th Floor and confronting Jahad himself could Vahn overthrow the current system. The former was one of the central pillars supporting the existence of the Regular system, so, if he wanted to remove it, he would need to dethrone the wayward Emperor before implementing a new system with the support of the Guardians and the Workshop. This couldn't be accomplished by idling around on the 5th Floor; so, shortly after the creation of the Alliance, Vahn had Khun pick and choose a few powerful and trustworthy Regulars to watch over the burgeoning organization in their stead.Fortunately, it was possible to establish a binding contract by appealing to the Guardian and having them serve as an intermediary. This would allow the Alliance to remain relatively stable for upwards of eleven months, and, with any luck, things might just 'stick' for a few years after the fact. After all, the current system was actually a lot more beneficial than the corrupt mess that existed before; so, with the promise of greater benefits, things should remain relatively stable until someone arrogant and powerful comes along and attempts to monopolize everything for themselves...---Having already decided upon their departure, Vahn found himself seated at the 'head' of a circular table, smiling as he listened to Khun's attempt to explain the many benefits of becoming one of his 'Children' to the prospective members of his Familia. His targets were four young girls and a young boy. Curiously, among the four 'women' present, the girl with a mature figure, pink eyes, and raven-black hair was actually the youngest at seventeen-years-old.If not for the presence of the young boy with pale-blue hair and electric-blue eyes, appearing very similar to his cousin, the girl, Yeon Yihwa, would have been tied with Khun as the youngest member of Team Wolf Pack. This was in spite of the fact that Yun-Yun, Jung, Nare, and Anak appeared much younger than her.Fortunately, there was at least one person present whose appearance accurately reflected their age as the young boy, Khun Ran, was only twelve-years-old. He was a remarkably talented young man who descended from the direct line of Khun Eduan, the Leader of the Khun Family. This allowed him to compete with people much older than him, and, if not for the overabundance of prodigies within Team Wolf Pack, he would have quickly secured his position as one of the strongest members...Since they had already learned quite a bit about Team Wolf Pack during their time together on the 5th Floor, Khun primarily focused on explaining the functions of the Familia Crest, the existence of the Quest Board, and, most importantly, Vahn's existence as a God of Infinite Possibilities who could resurrect the dead and help people change everything from their race to their gender.As could be expected, Khun's explanation was met with considerable skepticism by Ran, Yihwa, and Serra, but, after a few demonstrations, they ultimately accepted the reality they had become a part of. As for Jung and Yun-Yun, the former never really cared about such complicated things while the latter's only real interests were sleeping and tasting delicious dreams. She especially liked the taste of Baam's innocent and naive dreams, a rare delicacy within the Tower; so, with the guarantee of a tasty treat and the promise of a much easier ascent up the Tower, Yun-Yun never once considered refusing the offer to join Vahn's Familia.In the end, the most difficult thing about becoming a member of Vahn's Familia, at least for Serra and Yihwa, was enduring the process of having his Familia Crest applied to their backs. The former had a marginally easier time, but, as the descendent of a matriarchal family that placed an extreme emphasis on the importance of purity, it was difficult for Yihwa to accept having her back touched by a man.By the end of the procedure, Yihwa's face had turned completely crimson, and, if not for Phae providing counsel after the fact, it wouldn't have been surprising if she had demanded that he 'take responsibility' for 'defiling' her body. Even after that, however, it took several days within the Little Garden before she could even look at or talk to other men, specifically Khun. She had developed a bit of a fondness for the boy ever since he outwitted her, so she couldn't help feeling self-conscious and ashamed whenever he was around.Unfortunately for Yihwa, Khun had never once reciprocated her burgeoning affection. As a result, he took advantage of her state to demonstrate his general disregard for her feelings. He wasn't overtly mean or rude to her, but, whenever she was acting bashfully around him, he would shift his focus to virtually anything else. This resulted in Yihwa setting her room ablaze due to her inability to control both her flames and emotions, but after a few days had passed, she invariably returned to her usual, aloof, self...---Taking advantage of the week-long vacation he had afforded Team Wolf Pack in order to help their newest members adjust, Vahn could be found lying atop a grassy hill with several colorful figures encircling him. He was enjoying a bit of sunbathing with his usual cuddle buddies while seriously considering whether or not he wanted to create any new Templates.At this point, Vahn had assigned True Names to Gandr, Yoruichi, Hinata, and, for the sake of a grand experiment, Arceus. Unfortunately, despite possessing the name of the most popular Creation Deity within countless Records of Pokemon, Arceus currently lacked the capacity to autonomously create life. This was largely due to a mistake on Vahn's part, as, like other Pokemon, Arceus revered him as the Creator. As a result, her Innate ability [Progenitor Pokemon], required 'assistance' if she wanted to create Pokemon, assistance only he could afford...Though it would certainly make things 'easier', Vahn currently had no intention of becoming the literal father of Pokemon. It was surreal just imagining an entire world filled with his descendants, beings capable of freely morphing between a human and Pokemon transformation. Thus, for the time being, he had Arceus developing a miniature world alongside Palka, Dialga, and Giratina. He had high hopes that Arceus would be able to create actual Pokemon by the time she reached Tier 5, but, even if that wasn't the case, he would at least have a 'playground' for his children to explore in the future...With Kushina suddenly bitting his thumb, Vahn snapped out of his reverie to realize he had been rubbing her belly a little too fervently. Her eyes had become a little moist, and, though she was still in her nine-tailed fox transformation, he could tell her tensions had increased quite a bit due to his incessant petting. What made this situation worse was that most of his other cuddle buddies were staring at the scene rather intently, their gazes ranging between general curiosity, slight envy, and ample amusement...(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'An unfathomable existence','Khun's heart can't be swayed so easily~!','Vahn is simply incorrigible xD...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh
