Chapter 1 - THE ENERGY

Please remember that this is a completely amateur series.

STAGE 1: MIXED EMOTIONS

Teleported to Boluk, Vahura feels the familiar atmosphere, the tears in his eyes, the fullness in his heart, and the chaos left behind by emptiness. He has achieved perfection, yet despite experiencing emotions intensely, he manages to suppress them, even if only for a moment. He descends to Sarlion, collapses to the ground, and begins to sob uncontrollably. Not from sadness, anger, or resentment; but from inadequacy, from a lack of self-esteem. He keeps asking himself why he didn't resist, why he didn't fight until the very end. He is now aimless, having followed the path of someone else aimlessly; he feels betrayed, lost. He gathers his thoughts and begins to question his feelings. The questioning emotion cries out, "Why? Why did it happen? Why did I do it?"; it had made every second of its life depressed, had it under its control. The regret emotion cries out, "I shouldn't have done it. I disrespected myself, my fate, and my purpose."; it has become a slave to its purpose, ashamed and disgusted with itself. And... revenge? Revenge emotion of Vahura, who remembered that he was in the same Baz as Granq doesn't speak; expresses its desire without forcing itself: the desire to kill. Vahura's feelings of remorse and questioning fall silent, granting their elder the right to speak. The mouth of revenge moves, its malevolent breath enveloping Vahura's heart. "Kill." it says. Then logic speaks; like wise men and monks. "If what passes through your heart did not exist from the beginning, it will inevitably clash with what comes later. A person is always born in their own nature, rebels, but in the end, they die in their own nature, as themselves." But no one cares about logic. Neither remorse speaks, nor questioning agrees, nor does revenge act. Vahura's white skin darkens, his yellow eyes redden. "Revenge is justice..." he says, and sets off for Sarlio. (...)

STAGE 2: THE DECISION OF REVENGE

Vahura, consumed with rage and clenched teeth, contemplates all the harm Granq has caused. While he can control his emotions, he allows revenge to act in his place. He's so furious he's willing to give revenge a body and help it live. He senses all the energy densities in Sarlion and finds the highest. As he walks, he radiates such intense hatred that Granq senses it and teleports to him. "You look familiar. What's your name?" Granq asks. Vahura, noticing Granq, sees him as a demon; terrifying. "Granq... Are you Granq?" Vahura asks. Granq thinks to himself, "He's definitely planning to kill me... Vahura. One of Zars' men. So his Tes has awakened. He wants revenge and he's certainly not afraid... But revenge for what? Zars? Why can't I read him...?" Vahura replies, "Absolutely, Granq. I can say you're right. But in your other actions, you're definitely wrong. You can read minds, can't you? What if I could too?" Granq, stepping back from Vahura's words, teleports himself and Vahura to the Jilid council. The old council members are gone. In their place are Deregerol, Abrakmat, and a faceless figure with pale blue skin, appearing almost as pure light... Deregerol, being surprised, says, "Vahura? Is that you?" Seeing familiar faces, Vahura calms down and his complexion returns to normal. He thinks to himself, "What was I doing? Granq didn't harm me or Jamz after all." Granq's demonic appearance changes, transforming into a pouting mortal. Vahura looks at the remaining members of Kangekaelsus and asks, "Yes, it's me. But I'm confused, what happened after I died? At least after Zars died..." Deregerol is the first to speak, saying, "What hasn't happened? Everyone died. Only we are still standing..." Vahura, unable to hide his curiosity, says, "Explain." Deregerol begins to tell the story. (...)

STAGE 3: THE WRECKAGES OF WAR

"After you died, we, as Kangekaelsus, had to come to a decision. Everyone dies, after all. So we devised a plan to betray Zars. Actually, Abrakmat and I only had a plan to beautify Koriwan, to make it a better place. But Fumetsu's goal was very different: he wanted revenge. He would kill Zars and avenge his friend. And he succeeded... But the Tes of Darkness clung to his emotions, and his gluttony made him want to reach the highest; revenge became a lie... Unlike us, he was an Evor, like the Lord of Blood. Just as the Lord of Blood didn't like being called a mortal, he didn't like being called a Kort. Because he hadn't died, he had stepped onto Kortania as an Evor. Actually, he talked a lot about the Lord of Blood. No one knew his name, but he did. If he hadn't died at the end of the war, he would have told everything. That's what he promised Abrakmat. Of course, he couldn't keep his promise..." Deregerol concludes. Granq begins to speak. "Actually, powerful Evors are constantly forming in Baz in a continuous cycle. One of them is Monfel, another is Jamz. If Fumetsu is also one of them... they could be friends with Jamz. That is, they could be chosen ones born at the same time. I think that Jamz's birth disrupted the balance, causing another chosen one to be born, and Grotell's reincarnation may have caused the balance to be disrupted again, causing Fumetsu to awaken his Tes." He turns to Kangekaelsus. "Did he ever tell you his real name?" he asks, but receives no answer. After a long silence, Vahura speaks again. "So? What else happened?" he asks. Deregerol says, "I fought Kira, Abrakmat fought Stellan, we Kangekaelsus fought Pusgurt, and Eloi fought Zars. Then Grotell betrayed and killed Eloi, and Fumetsu killed Zars. Then Fumetsu somehow destroyed Kortania and abandoned us halfway. According to Granq, Grotell killed Zornut, a former Jilid council member, and Fumetsu killed Marian and Karian, also former Jilid council members. Felation, the former Jilid council leader, killed Grotell, then Jamz regained his body and killed Felation. Then he killed Fumetsu and disappeared. His whereabouts are unknown now." Vahura laughs and says, "Jamz and Monfel are also dead... I was with them." As Vahura surprises everyone he starts telling the whole story. (...)

STAGE 4: THE DREAM AND REALITY OF LIGHT

"So that's it, huh? You died and came back to life... That's quite a powerful trick, actually. It's a shame Edy died." Granq says. Deregerol adds, "Fumetsu and Abrakmat caught my attention because they were disrupting the balance. That's how I met them, how we got along. I'm sure I would have gotten along with Edy too." Vahura asks, "Granq, you really don't remember the devil?" Granq replies, "It's impossible for me not to remember. But I wasn't really myself back then." Even though Vahura is angry, another question remains in his mind. He looks at the person who seems like a pure source of light. "So, how are you alive, Stellan?" he asks. Stellan, his hair turned yellow and grown long, and his body covered in black, ancient markings, speaks, "What happened to you happened to me too, Vahura. My very being evolved. When my Tes left me, my eyes closed, I had a dream. In my dream, there was one of the Gods I believed in during my Evoren life, Baldr. He looked very beautiful. He had long hair and a beard. He made me an offer: in exchange for me establishing peace, he would give me all his power. He was the only one I admired. I accepted, and at that moment I understood. The Tes of Light actually controlled not just light, but all kinds of enlightenment. When I returned, Kortania was destroyed, Jamz was gone. And I was floating in Boluk. Granq came to take me with three people in his hand. The ones with him were Deregerol, Abrakmat, and—" Stellan's words gets interrupted by a familiar voice. "And I…" the voice says. A silhouette emerges from the depths of Jilid. Its enormous size, its green skin cracked with blue… It was Pusgurt. The only difference is that his head was not like that of a deer or a wolf, but like that of a mortal. "It's been a long time, Vahura!" he says, laughing. Vahura replies, "Are you alive too?!" Pusgurt says, "I didn't die. My Tes was simply taken from me, and I experienced a momentary death. But my Tes is a kind of awakened one. Like yours. Even if I lose my Tes, I don't lose its power." (...)

STAGE 5: BOLUK, TENERASL AND JILID

Vahura nods understandingly, and another question comes to his mind. He turns to Granq and asks, "Since Eloi is dead, who is the king of Werteron? And if Kortania is shattered, where does Kangekaelsus stay at? Who are the leaders of Evoren and Jilid?" Granq, giving simple but sufficient details, replies, "Werteron is now in Pusgurt's hands. Kangekaelsus has moved to a planet they call Koriwan in Werteron. The rule of Evoren has also been taken from Pusgurt and transferred to Stellan." But Pusgurt interrupts. "I don't understand. I created the Earth Tes, Stellan's only job was to deliver the Tes to their owners. You all know I can't rule Werteron." Granq says, "We have no other choice, Pusgurt. You are the only member of Evoren who has lived under the name of God. Moreover, you are one of the founders of Evoren, don't forget." Pusgurt replies, "That's exactly what I'm saying! I'm already used to ruling Evoren." Vahura immediately interjects, "What do you mean? You had a God complex even before you had a Tes?" Just then, a deep, divine voice, shaking all of Jilid, begins to speak. "Some Tes are formed already awakened, Vahura." it says. The lights of Jilid dim to the point where the eye can normally see their surroundings. There seen only five thrones in the room. Granq kneels, lowering his head. "You seem excited, Your Highness Solezma. I sense you can't sit still." Stellan, hearing the name Solezma, also bows. Seeing this, Deregerol and Abrakmat also feel the need to bow. Pusgurt asks, "Do I need to bow?" Solezma speaks, "I never asked any of you to bow, Pusgurt." Vahura glances around and says, "Solezma... Who might you be?" Solezma replies, "I am whoever you want me to be, Vahura. But if you ask me... I could say the concept itself. Or the founder of Jilid..." Vahura carefully asks, "Why would the founder of Jilid suddenly reveal himself? I want to know your purpose, Solezma." Suddenly, everything goes dark and everyone disappears; except Vahura. Vahura sees a light. It looks just like him. He begins to speak. "I am Solezma. Since I don't have a specific form, I've taken your form. I hope you don't mind. Anyway... Ever since you became a Kort, I couldn't help but think you weren't a bad person. I always thought you symbolized more of an Evor than a Kort. I have a different kind of respect and sympathy for you, Vahura. That's why I've appeared. That's why you're here alone with me. I'll try to answer every question, don't worry. Just asking is enough..." (...)

STAGE 6: CONCEPT AND ORIGIN

After a short while, Vahura chooses to voice his questions. "Tell me everything. About the past, about what happened in the past, about the system, about Baz, about Boluk... About the origin of everything..." Solezma then begins to tell him everything. "From the very beginning, you say... I understand, Vahura. Let's begin then. My name is Solezma. I am the concept itself and the cause of everything that exists within Boluk. When I was born, there was only nothingness. A place where there was no time or space. A place I named Boluk. Then I created Jilid. A huge sphere with five sections. A core that, contrary to appearances, is not large, only appears large from the outside. Boluk bends space and time, and Jilid bends Boluk. I call this 'Concept and Origin'. Because Jilid's concept bends Boluk's origin, a distortion of reality occurs, and you get bigger in size and width as you approach Jilid. Although Jilid is large, it appears small to those who get close enough. Its sections are as follows: First section: Gurise. Second section: Duzord. Third section: Koruz. Fourth section: Laawis. And fifth section: Masruri. Gurise is the section where the entrance gate and the council chamber are located. In short, the place you were just in is Gurise. Duzord is the chamber of life." The room reshapes itself. In place of the main throne from the previous room, there is a capsule-like structure five times the size of the throne, and the room is furnished with tables and flying stencils. Solezma continues, "This is where the chosen ones who died are reincarnated and where structures like Tes, Utes, and Temseral are brought to life." As Solezma continues, the room reshapes itself again. "Koruz is the room where death and energy recycling take place." Solezma says. The room takes on a "T" shape, but it is empty. There are only white walls. Just as Vahura is about to speak, black dust particles enter through the walls. At that moment, the room reshapes itself again, and Jilid's white color turns into Boluk's darkness, Boluk unfolding beneath his feet in a bird's-eye view. "Laawis is the room that allows one to see everything in Boluk. Right now, you only see Boluk beneath your feet as a place where the Tenerasls are. But this room allows me to see everything clearly." he says. The room takes shape, the white color returns. Too much white. "Masruri. This is my personal room. I wouldn't advise you to stay here too long." Solezma says. The room takes shape again, and they end up in the dark room where they were before. "If you didn't understand, I can explain it in detail." Solezma says and continues. "Masruri is a room where I find myself, where I clear my head, where nothing exists. The reason I don't want you to stay too long is because I don't want the pure concept to eat away at your brain. Laawis. As you know, Boluk is a place devoid of time and space. But there is one entity in Boluk that is not affected by this rule. "Ras". Because they are present throughout Baz and are fragile, I can easily understand what is happening where. Because the death positions of the Ras are marked on Laawis. That's the purpose of Laawis. To show the existence and non-existence of the Ras. Koruz. I assume you are wondering what the Ras are. The job of the Ras is to absorb the collapsing energy and transport it to Koruz. This is how Jilid survives. Because the Ras recycle energy 100%. Koruz is, in a way, Jilid's furnace, and the Ras are the coal. The reason Ras can return without being destroyed is energy. A Ras that stores energy becomes difficult to break. Also, the black particles you saw before leaving Kuroz were Ras. Duzord. Is the birthplace of Tes, Utes, Temseral and the other chosen ones. It's also the name of the giant capsule you saw in that room." (...)

STAGE 7: TES, UTES AND TEMSERAL

"Immediately after founding Jilid, I encountered Energy. It's a system that forms the framework of good and bad emotions, divided into will and grudge, or positive and negative energy, as well as the abstract and concrete concepts. Sometimes, energy can't find a place to go and gathers randomly in Boluk in a positive or negative form. If not carefully observed, that energy grasps the concept and, after a while, comes to life. This is what called a "Temseral." Tes is the name given to these Temseral before they become Temseral. Duzord comes into play here. Because its energy is high and it can't find a place to go, it forms in Duzord and is preserved there. Of course, the Tenerasls that were formed later disrupted this situation somewhat. Because the Tenerasls also have high energy, energy clusters began to form there as well. Finally, let's talk about Utes. As I explained, if the gathered energy is not interfered with, it comes to life shortly after grasping the concept. This is where Utes comes into play. Completely made from Jilid's energy, it's a kind of crystalline concept I created. A shield that is almost unbreakable... Actually, Utes had a purpose; to destroy the uncontrolled energy before it grasped the concept. Of course, this purpose didn't last long. My idea changed when Grotell arrived. He had a pure white complexion. I didn't know where he came from, but while my main goal was to prevent chaos, Grotell came to me with something called intelligence. Utes' purpose evolved. It changed. It deviated from its first purpose and moved to its second... Its second purpose was to use Utes as a restraint. Instead of using and suppressing energy as soon as it was collected, Utes would be used immediately after energy grasped the concept. In this way, even if the energy evolved and gained life after Utes imprisoned it, it wouldn't be able to escape from Utes and would remain trapped inside. This idea was Grotell's. Although it seemed absurd at first, I wanted to listen to him. I realized he was smarter than me. After discussing for a while, we found a name for Utes and called the energy inside "Tes," Grotell talked about the outside, the Baz, the void... In a way I couldn't understand, we both understood each other. It was as if we were speaking a universal language. After a long time, Grotell mentioned feeling drawn to a Tes. As if it belonged to him. A red Tes... A Tes of Blood. Unlike the others, even after a long time, that Tes hadn't come to life. Grotell approached and grasped the Tes. His color changed from his pure white state to a crimson hue similar to Jamz's. He waved his hand and created a small space far from Jilid. "Evoren," he called it. I was shocked by what I saw. Another sphere had formed besides Jilid, and someone other than me had done it. There were movements in the place he called Evoren. It was a crimson place. I called every sphere that would be created after Jilid "Tenerasl." After a while, all the Tes evolved, and the first Temseral was born. I named the beings born from the Tes "Temseral." The first Temseral said his name was Joluyan. He was the Temseral of time... Then, in order; Hukutsa, the Temseral of Emotion, Kosmawa, the Temseral of Space, Nrich, the Temseral of Light, and the man you know as Pusgurt, Almid. Then a Jilid council was formed, and everyone in the council, under Grotell's command, brought Evoren to its current form... So let me summarize. I was born, I created Jilid, Grotell entered Baz, Tes, Utes and Temseral were formed, the concepts of Evoren and Tenerasl were formed, the first Jilid council was established. Any other questions, Vahura?" Solezma, explaining at length, finally finishes his speech, and the say rests with Vahura. "I would like you to address the awakening event." Vahura says. Solezma concludes, "Awakening is an agreement between the user and the Temseral. When the Tes awakens, the user remains stuck in their own realm and makes an agreement with their Temseral in their imaginary space, pursuing their imaginary purpose. A face-to-face meeting isn't necessary for this to happen. When the awakening is complete, the Utes breaks, the user becomes one with the Temseral, absorbing the concept within the Tes. In short, I can say the user evolves into a Temseral. When the awakening is complete, the Tes is reduced to the status of just an energy-filled stone and is not very useful. Furthermore, this can happen even if the Tes is taken away. Of course, if this user is a Temseral, then the Tes is formed as an awakened being. Any other questions?" Vahura nods and says, "I understand, alright. I have no further questions, Solezma. Thank you." Solezma replies, "That's it then." and Vahura teleports to the council hall. (...)
