Ramiel woke up in a cold sweat, his heart racing as he realized he was no longer in his own bed, the place new to him, and the two women he loved ever so dearly were not beside him. The last memory I could recall was when he told Hilas and Irles Filri that after facing the multitude of different clans to show them that their belief in gaining power was the only way to achieve peace, they were misguided.
And I told them that there is a possibility that he will exhaust all of his physical energy and that his body might undergo a meditative hibernation, leaving him in a state of deep sleep for an indefinite period of time.
For all he knows, he might be sealed in an Arcane underground facility near the Symbiote collective main core.
He is aware that this is not the room in which his physical body was sleeping, even if it appeared as though the walls surrounding it were brand new and built to protect it. Like Allatou, Lady Laerdya Galadhiel was extremely protective of the people who held special meaning for her. Now that her entire tribe was released from the past, they all viewed Ramiel as their own and did not stop working to realize his vision, much as the medical healing pod had done in the past to transfer mana to Allatou.
They all knew it was the correct thing to do, so they waited for him to wake up as his loved ones continued with their separate jobs.
At the same time, reports from different locations about monster waves from unknown sources started to surface. Every race that was living in small towns and villages was unsure of what these waves meant and whether they posed a larger threat.
However, Ramiel's entire Arcane clan remained steadfast in their dedication, determined to protect their loved ones and continue working towards Ramiel's vision despite the growing uncertainty in the world around them.
Ramiel stood in an unfamiliar place; he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing for the presence and support of Hilas and Irles Filri. He hoped that they would understand his decision, as they have no idea that his soul can travel between dimensions freely by entering and using the dream world as his doorway.
He looked around and saw that he was in a strange room, filled with unfamiliar furniture and decorations. Confusion and fear washed over him as he tried to remember how he got here. Suddenly, memories flooded his mind—memories of a world filled with chaos and destruction caused by monstrous creatures crossing over from another dimension.
He remembered the screams, the terror, and the overwhelming sense of helplessness as he watched his city being torn apart.
Those two days with his family were all focused on rekindling their lost connection and reassuring them he was fine. Like his family in Sheol , his earth family had no idea certain restrictions and rules were needed to ensure he remained in hi s human body.
A burning desire to protect his loved ones and earth from the impending disaster of large-scale monster wave-dimensional attacks, he wanted to join his stepfather as a registered ethereal warrior, but he knew he was still lacking the basic skill and power to be called an awakened ethereal.
He still needs to navigate through this world because he was lacing all the information when he was with the other authority, so the logical way to approach this issue was to enroll in an ethereal authority near him and gain the needed acknowledgement and legal certification from those who were given authority by the United Nations.
Using his lineage was not his cup of tea; he wasn't that naïve to see that in every known civilization in history, many were still bound to their own greed and pride, like in his second mother's empire and also here on earth, where corruption, self-preservation, and interest come before the welfare of the weak and helpless.
Ramiel was determined to awaken his true potential and hone his abilities. He will seek out other information and train harder with Grandpa Tang and Grandma Mao's guidance, Ramiel reached the doorway of the room he was in, which was thick and created to truly secure him as he slept inside. But even before he could touch the door handle, it opened and a small girl greeted him with a hug.
It was Ariella Laila, his younger sister, whom he hadn't seen in a few days. Her warm embrace brought warmth to Ramiel's human heart, as he realized how much he had missed her. He knew that with Ariella by his side he was fine,
their new underground base situated on top of their old home and a huge long tunnel connecting to an abandoned sub-railway tunnel going three locations first was Fu Xi Shi Corporation, that Mrs. Sersi Mikhailov Xú was the new CEO and wife of Zixuan Xú the eldest Guard of his Step Father Guan Yu
While the remaining tunnel was connected to the new central Ethereal Association inside a 50-acre plot of land that Guan Yu purchased to be the primary base and head office of the first line of defense of mankind, as a huge towering structure fully self-sufficient that could house and accommodate thousands of people, providing them with shelter, resources, and protection in the event of a catastrophic event.
The Central Ethereal Association also served as a hub for research, training, and weapon development, with state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities dedicated to advancing technology and understanding the supernatural forces at play.
Scientists, mages, and engineers from all over the world would flock to the Association's headquarters to exchange knowledge, test theories, and collaborate on new projects. The results of their efforts were groundbreaking, as they were able to create incredible weapons and tools that could harness the powerful energy of the ethereal realm.
These weapons, known as ethereal weapons, were a major game changer in the world of warfare.
They were capable of emitting blasts of pure ethereal energy, creating forcefields, and even manipulating time and space. The association's research didn't just focus on weaponry but also on understanding the ethereal beings themselves. Through extensive study and experimentation, they were able to uncover the true nature of these beings and establish a harmonious relationship with them.
This led to a new era of diplomacy and cooperation between humans and peaceful beings that entered earth with valid and sometimes unknown circumstances,, like the Naga Serpent humanoid beings.
The association's training programs were also top-notch, producing highly skilled and disciplined individuals who could effectively handle ethereal weapons and navigate the delicate realm of the supernatural.
Through their efforts, the association not only made significant advancements in technology and understanding but also paved the way for a more peaceful coexistence between humans and the ethereal realm. Their contributions continue to shape the world as we know it, and their legacy lives on through the continued research and development of the Central Ethereal Association.
Annisha Hartono, the Ular Kemba League captain who came from Indonesia , greeted the two while she informed them she will be the one escorting them throughout only the two floors of the facility only,
With ten more people around her ,Annisha introduce them as new trainees also, Ramiel and Ariella Laila's true identities were hidden from the rest, who were to be registered as trainees. These ten for all they new these two were like them, meanwhile, the new sub base was similar to what was in Indonesia because Annisha was the one who designed the facility while her sister managed the security.
Annisha explained Deep beneath the bustling city streets, hidden from the prying eyes of the outside world, lies a remarkable facility unlike any other.
The under ground multi level Sub Facility, located under the Liu Chen old home, has been completely remodeled and transformed into a safe haven for a special group of individuals. These are the young Ethereal, those who possess incredible abilities and powers beyond the understanding of the average person. However, due to fear and ignorance, many of these young Ethereal were abandoned and rejected by their families and society.
But within the walls of this underground facility, they have found a new home, a place where they can be themselves without fear of persecution. The facility was carefully designed and constructed by the Fu Xi Shi Corporation, a powerful organization dedicated to protecting and nurturing the Ethereal community.
Working closely with their partners at the Sinclair construction company, they have created a state-of-the-art training and development center for these young awakened individuals.
The facility is equipped with the latest technology and equipment, designed specifically for the unique needs of the Ethereal. From advanced meditation chambers to specialized training rooms, every aspect of the facility is tailored to help these young individuals unlock and harness their full potential. The staff at the facility, made up of highly trained and skilled individuals, are all Ethereal themselves, providing a supportive and understanding environment for the young trainees.
But more than just a training center, the facility also serves as a safe haven for these young Ethereal. Many of them have faced discrimination and danger in the outside world, and the facility offers them a place of refuge and protection. They are provided with everything they need, from food and shelter to education and healthcare. And most importantly, they are given a sense of belonging and community, something that many of them have never experienced before.
Thanks to the efforts of the Fu Xi Shi Corporation and Sinclair construction company, the underground multi level Sub Facility has become a beacon of hope for the young Ethereal. It has given them a chance to thrive and grow, to discover their true potential and use their abilities for the greater good. And as word of this facility spreads, more and more lost and abandoned Ethereal are finding their way to this safe haven, where they are welcomed with open arms and given the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves.
She went on to explain the rigorous training and education program that was in place, designed to not only teach them to control their abilities but also to instill strong values and morals. The base itself was a marvel to behold. Hidden deep within the mountains, it was equipped with state-of-the-art technology and facilities, ensuring that the Ethereal including their families had everything they needed to thrive.
It was a bustling, secure community, with people of all ages and backgrounds coming together in unity. These people were selected based on their skills, and to make their work more productive, their entire family relocated to this place free of charge.
Annisha proudly stated that this was what made their organization stand out—the sense of belonging and family that was fostered among its members. As she concluded her explanation, she urged us to spread the word about their cause and to offer their support in any way possible.
She reminded them that there were countless more Ethereals out there in need of guidance and support, and it was up to all of us to make a difference in their lives.
With her unwavering devotion to helping there people, it was clear that Annisha was a true leader and inspiration to all who knew her. This place she had created was not just a temporary shelter but a beacon of hope for all Ethereals, offering them a chance at a better future.
While they were being shown around by Annisha, Ramiel saw a few reinforced room were they could train ,he was hoping it was very similar to the training room in the Royal guild office that Loki Ingeborg Branch Manager in Ivlares city, a huge monitor was allocated outside the training hall, so instructors could see the martial and fighting accomplishments on certain levels, from level 10 to 25 of the Ethereals.
Other training facilities were also equipped with the same training hall, but these facilities can only be used and accessed by certified Ethereals. As the levels ranged from 30 to 200, depending on what type of Ethereal class and rank, meaning their power level,
The lowest was rank E, and the highest is known as rank S, but above the S rank are copper, iron, silver, gold, platinum, and palladium.
Only a handful have this rank, and they are unregistered, and their identities were withheld from any known database or public record. These elite ethereals with ranks above S are often called "Shadow Ethereals" due to their secretive nature and unmatched power.
They operate in the shadows, carrying out covert missions and protecting humanity or their own self-interest. untouched and above the law, these beings were given freedom to do whatever they wanted, but they were also responsible for maintaining balance and harmony within the ethereal community.
Their power and authority allowed them to make important decisions and enforce regulations when necessary. Despite their privileges, they were expected to use their abilities for the greater good and protect the Earth from any great threats or disturbances. Seven of them were loyal to Chāo Tang Liu Chen and Mao Qiáng Shennong Liu Chen.
Seven ethereal classifications were called the virtues, whose names were taken from the Warrior Code of
Integrity (GI): Knight, Paladin, and Samurai. Cavalier, Sword Master, Martial Artist
Heroic Courage (Yu), Berserker, Warlord, War Master, Plunderer, Barbarian, Skirmisher:
Honor (Meiyo): White Mage, Spell Casters, Summoner, Shaman
Compassion (Jin): Healer, Priest, Saint, Elemental, Warlock, Witch, and Necromancer
Honesty and Sincerity (Makoto) Shield Protector, Tanks, and Buffer
Duty & Loyalty (Chu) Hunters, Assassins, Trackers, Pathfinder and Thieves
The room was equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and had a serene atmosphere, information were being broadcasted on seven huge monitors dedicated to these seven virtues, they all saw these beings training and fighting monsters as they were being monitored closely by their own Guild, under the supervision that the ethereal Main Association
They were all dressed in their unique uniforms and equipment, representing their respective virtue and Guild Organization.
The Knights donned shining silver armor, emblazoned with the symbol of Integrity. The Paladins wore a mix of white and gold, signifying their dedication to protecting others. The Samurai, with their elegant katanas and sleek black armor, embodied the spirit of discipline and honor. As Ramiel looked around, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and admiration for those Ethereals, each one representing a different aspect of the Warrior Code.
As he made his way toward the facility raining area, Ramiel couldn't help but notice the different groups of Rank E and D Ethereals were practicing their skills.as shown in the monitors , They were sparring with each other, their weapons clashing in a symphony of battle cries and steel. The Berserkers, known for their wild and unpredictable fighting style, were testing their limits, pushing themselves to the brink of exhaustion. The Warlords, masters of strategy and tactics, were discussing battle plans and formations with their fellow War Masters.
Moving on to the next Training Hall, Ramiel found himself in the presence of the Ethereals of the virtue of honor. The White Mages were surrounded by a soft glow as they chanted incantations and healed their injured comrades. The spellcasters, with their powerful magic, were practicing spells and incantations, their eyes glowing with concentration. The Summoners were calling forth creatures from other realms to aid them in their training, and the Shamans were communicating with spirits, seeking guidance and wisdom.
As Ramiel continued his tour, he came to the group of Ethereals known for their compassion. The healers were tending to the wounded, their gentle touch and soothing words bringing comfort to those in pain. The priests were leading prayers and rituals, offering solace to those in need. The Saints, with their pure and kind hearts, radiated a sense of peace and serenity. The Elementals, with their mastery over the elements, were practicing their control and manipulation of nature.
Next, Ramiel found himself among the Ethereals of honesty and sincerity. The shield protectors were focused on perfecting their defensive techniques, while the tanks were working on their endurance and strength. The buffers were using their powers to enhance their comrades' abilities and protect them from harm.
It was a delicate balance between mastering their own powers and keeping their family and loved ones safe. Ramiel had to learn how to juggle his personal goals with his familial duties, all while trying to maintain some sense of normalcy in a world that was anything but. He struggled through the complexities of social life, trying to fit in and make connections with others while also keeping his true identity and powers a secret.
Ariella Laila was still stunned seeing these warriors train either seeing them personally or on monitors , amazed by their strength and agility. She couldn't help but feel a mixture of awe and fear, knowing that these warriors were the only thing standing between her and the dangers that lurked in the shadows. she had forgotten the very moment she too manifested the ability to control the element of fire.
After a few hours, Annisha dismissed all the new trainees and told them they would soon enter the nearest Ethereal Academy a day from now, so they could learn the basics and gain sufficient knowledge to face the future. Some were reluctant, wondering why they needed to study and read books; others just wanted to fight and hunt those monsters and gain wealth and fame. Ramiel and his seven-year-old sister Ariella Laila were happy to accompany his older brother at the school; she was also attending.
Annisha could see the excitement in Ramiel's eyes, while the rest were a bit hesitant while she handed them their class schedules. She remembered her own first day when the world was normal, at the Indonesian Academy, the nerves and the anticipation of what was to come. But now, as a seasoned hunter and instructor at the academy, she could see the importance of learning and gaining knowledge before venturing out into the dangerous world of monster hunting.
Annisha had seen many young warriors come and go, some with great potential and others with a reckless thirst for adventure. She knew the dangers that awaited them and the importance of being well prepared. The academy taught them not only how to fight and hunt monsters but also the history and lore behind them. It was crucial for any Ethereal to understand their enemies and their weaknesses.
As the trainees dispersed, she couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility towards them. She had been in their shoes before and knew the challenges they would face. But she also knew the satisfaction of overcoming those challenges and emerging as a skilled ethereal. She wanted to pass on some of her own knowledge and experience to the new generation to ensure that they would be able to protect themselves and others from the dangers that lurked in the shadows.
But as much as Annisha believed in the importance of education, she also understood the desire for adventure and glory that burned within some of the trainees. She had been there herself, chasing after the thrill of the hunt and the spoils that came with it. But she had also learned that it was not just about fame and wealth but also about protecting innocent lives and making the world a safer place.
And as she watched Ramiel eagerly flip through his class schedules, Annisha couldn't help but smile. She saw a reflection of her own youthful enthusiasm in Ramiel's eyes, knowing that he too would soon realize the true purpose behind their training. she hoped that he would find the balance between seeking adventure and understanding the responsibility that came with their chosen path. She knew that, with time and experience, Ramiel would come to appreciate the profound impact they could have on the lives of others.
She has no idea what type of person Ramiel grew up into; she has no idea what stories were withheld from her ears, as Chāo Tang Liu Chen, the Liu Chen patriarch, had always been secretive about his family's. Any vital information will never leave the inner family.,
