The Tale of the Void Emperor

' Should I join one of the organizations here? I am clueless about everything, so it's better that I joined but which one? '

While he was thinking, A man named Reikent and a woman named Soperia approached Athan, and they also wanted to recruit him to their organization. Both Reikent and Soperia were completely human without any additional features like horns or tails.

But while Athan was thinking, Reikent observed Athan intently, and his eyes shined with a slight white glow before he revealed a surprised expression.

" This brother, Take a look at this. If you join our organization, We will give you a treatment equivalent to a special guest and completely guide you on every single thing. "

Hearing this, The other four revealed a surprised and confused expression. They didn't find anything unique about Athan, and according to them, Athan was just a weak, newly ascended being.

Athan saw Reikent, who invited him to join Youhan Tree Organization throwing a shining blue gem the size of his fingernail and a paper towards him.

Athan caught the topaz and the paper. 

Soperia licked her lips and looked at Reikent with a smile as her sultry voice rang out, " Reiiiikent...can you tell this big sister why are you giving special treatment to a newly ascended being? "

Reikent had glasses and turquoise color with a slim body build and a robe that matched his hair color. Hearing Soperia, He laughed and spoke, " No reason. Today is a good day, and I'm particularly happy today. So I felt like giving out a guest contract to a newly ascended being. "

Hearing this, The other four rolled their eyes and cursed him in their mind. Special guest treatment is only for those who have grasped a unique or powerful First Order ken and not some newly ascended being.

Athan looked at the small blue gem which contained something he couldn't understand and then read the paper, which had some benefits mentioned:

Personal abode.

Free one-time pass to Low-tier Order Library per year.

Free one-time dip into Crimson power pool per year.

Hundred low-tier chaos stones per month.

Athan smiled at Reikent before speaking, " Thanks, but would you mind explaining what is this blue gem and the benefits of the things mentioned in the paper? Also, You can call me Athan."

Hearing that, Reikent patiently explained to Athan about them. The other four left Athan and Reikent alone because they can't be bothered with Athan anymore. Giving out special guest treatment, even the lowest tier one to a newly ascended, was out of the question for them.

After Reikent explained everything to him, Athan asked a crucial question while narrowing his eyes, " So...why are you giving me the special guest treatment? "

Reikent grinned at Athan, " Because...I feel that you are special compared to normal ascended beings. So I am taking this risk. Though, If you turned out to be nothing special, then...I can only blame my poor eyesight. "

Athan nodded and fell into thought for a moment before asking, " Do you know how one can return to the universe? "

" Hmm? Why do you want to return? "

" I...have some unfinished business in a universe. It is possibly a lower axiom universe. " Athan spoke after thinking for a moment. According to what Elenex told him about the Lower and Higher axiom universes, The universe in which he was born was most likely a Lower axiom universe.

Reikent nodded and smiled, " Alright. I can help you with it, but you are joining the Youhan Tree organization, right? "

Athan nodded with a smile, " Yep. By the way, I imagined chaosverse to be chaotic but didn't expect that it would be like this. "

Hearing that, Reikent laughed out loud before speaking, " It is chaotic. But this is the ascending zone of the Doflame region. Every region has ascending zones, and those who enter into the cloudy vortex from the chaos bridge will arrive in these zones. New ascended beings are considered resources to be cultivated to expand organizations and make them stronger and influential. "

" Oh..." Athan nodded and understood the reasoning. New ascended beings are weak and no value to speak of, so there is also no use killing them. Instead, training them and making them stronger by letting them join the organization and in exchange working for the benefits of the organization have mutual benefits.

" Anyway, Chaosverse is vast and has many strange phenomenons which you will experience from now on. Without joining any power here, you won't be able to progress smoothly and will likely die. " 

Reikent told Athan about some things regarding the Chaosverse, and after that, They finally moved towards the tent of the Youhan Tree organization.

The tent's size was like a two-story house.

After entering the tent, Athan saw a portal in the middle of the tent and two others people. But these two were not humans. One of them was a woman who had long white hair, fluffy cow ears, and a tail. Her skin was milky white, and she wore a tight black and white dress. On the other hand, The man had two red horns on his head and a pair of red wings behind his back and wore a white suit made from soft material.

Reikent introduced Athan to both of them.

" That milky woman is Melony, and that gentleman over there is Wunsel. You two, This is our new comrade. "

After that, Reinkent dropped a bomb.

" This is Athan, A newly ascended being, and I...have given him a 1-star special guest treatment contract. "

" What!?" 

" What!? "

Both Melony and Wunsel shouted in disbelief at the same time and looked at Athan.

Melony took a deep breath as her H cup melons turned up and down before she spoke with a voice laced with disbelief, " So...the 1-star contract that was supposed to be given to Mrs.Cevelin..." Pausing here, She pointed at Athan and continued, " Is now in the hands of that Little boy? "

Reikent nodded with a smile.

Wunsel had a serious expression as he spoke. His voice sounded solemn and a bit hoarse, " Rei, Do you realize what you have done? "

Reikent gave them an assured smile and spoke, " I will inform Executive Terek about what I've done. You two don't need to take responsibility regarding this. "

" Let's go, Athan. "

Athan smelled trouble, but he felt he could trust Reikent because of the blue gem that secured a way out for him if some problem occurred. Though, Reikent displayed confidence that nothing will go wrong so he felt that there wouldn't be trouble.

He then followed Reikent and both of them entered the portal.
