1 The drifting soul of a bright star

Name:The Void Emperor Author:KileX00
The pitch black darkness, without a sound or even a feeling of existence.

Like a void, where all and nothing overlap, therein floats a multicolored singularity size of a needle tip radiating a faint halo of light in a pulsating manner.

That existence is in contradiction with everything, as if like any rules are useless before it, as a divine and unmovable mountain, pulsating with a faint nine colored halo, each of the colors representing separate existence.

If one paid attention to it with all their might, they would see a whole mini-verse inside of it akin to a small, energetic and playful child running without an end;

Like a spiral waterfall flowing and transforming to a faint vortex in its core.

The sheer energy it is containing is of a terrifying degree, unimaginable to mere three-dimensional beings like us.

It is fixated there in a dark void which at the same time complements and repels it.

Each of its colored streaks of light feels like a separate consciousness trying to devour surroundings akin to a bottomless hole.

- Black.

Dark like a universe, cold and domineering.

It gives off the feeling of emptiness.

Looking at it may feel like falling into an abyss, without an end, like a black hole it devours everything.

It represents space and its vast, boundless and magnificent existence and contains pure Yin energy.

- White.

Gentle and warm, it feels like a radiant star, like a mother hugging a child.

Even though there shouldn't be any sound in that space, it gives the feeling as if there is happy laughter of a million children resonating deep within one's soul.

It pulsates and then recedes to the center of the vortex and pulsates again, repeating the same cycle over and over.

If one looked carefully, they'd conclude that it resembles a brave warrior not knowing of defeat and always getting up after falling down.

That white wisp represents Yang energy.

- Golden.

Like golden blood rummaging through veins, discovering new paths, breaking through everything and anything.

As a restless stream, it courses in a spiral manner and fills the whole world inside of the wisp.

It represents strong and unyielding blood that no mere being is worthy of possessing.

- Silver.

A mixture of silver and white, mysterious and magnificent.

The emotion it arouses is admiration and has a breathtaking feeling to it.

A myriad silvery white streaks, reminding of a long, fluttering hair.

- Red.

The crimson and fiery streak of light that reminds of uncontrollable anger and magnificence.

Like an unyielding being standing up to every obstacle, regardless of the power difference among them.

It represents the unyielding will.

- Blue.

Vast blue like an ocean, boundless and gentle.

Deep as an ocean, unconquerable as an ocean.

It represents the spirit with no restraint.

- Green.

A rich green like a world filled with joy.

Like grass in a green meadow.

It represents a strong and vigorous life force.

- Purple.

Like a purple halo without an end that can suck out one's soul.

There is no being that can contain its breath while looking at that magnificent halo as it reminds of deep purple eyes.

- Violet.

A mixture of blue and purple, yet neither of them.

Violent and excessive power surging within it.

That color has only one meaning - the boundless potential.

.

.

.

That nine-colored singularity started pulsating stronger with each cycle and nine different wisps seeped out of it reminding of chains attached in the middle.

Those chains were sucking in everything around them and confronting all.

All of a sudden there was a transformation...

"... BOOM .....", a strong explosion, similar to the supernova, resonated through the void and nine colored cracks appeared all over the void like myriad bolts of lightning, resembling a space shattering.

The vast and mighty energy rushed through them and bit by bit transformed whole surroundings to nine colored sphere of light.

Then everything reversed, as if nothing happened, everything was black with a nine colored singularity in the center.

The next moment, a dragon roar and a baby cry resonated and that little singularity began growing stable and transforming to the fetus with nine dragons coiling all around its body and one pitch black dragon coiled around its heart.

After the fetus formed, it gradually grew up and turned into grown-up human form with strong musculature and peculiar aura.

After that nine-colored form hugged by dragons stared a bit into endless darkness, a voice rang out within the space.

" Your name will be ..... And you shall be ... born again ".

After that, a similar crack formed beneath it which the form fell through, straight to the planet similar to Earth but several times bigger than it.

On that planet there is water surrounding three big continents with white clouds fluttering above them.

The form was constantly speeding downwards like a shooting star then it entered the atmosphere of that planet and instantly disappeared followed with a loud "BANG" as it transformed to a bolt of lightning and painted the whole sky in nine-colored light.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" ... Waaaaa", a melodious cry of a baby could be heard signifying that new life was born. Besides the baby crying, slight but vicious dragon roar rang as if it was declaring to the world that its king is born.

While dragon roar melodiously resonated with baby's cry, nine-colored halo below the navel of a baby slightly receded and after that, there was a silence.

"Dear, how are we going to name him, what do you say?"

"Since he has such a vigorous cry and looks so cute, how about we give him a mighty yet gentle name?"

"Um, that's a good idea."

"For now, let's not worry about the name. Most importantly, the baby is okay and so are you, that's enough to make me happy. Everything else is at this point irrelevant."

"Yeah, he will be a great and strong boy, ... dear, I'm so happy, I love you!"

"I love you too, my dear wife, more than anything in this world, I love both of you!"

The male and female forms hugged the sleeping child full of love and kindness and all of them fell asleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the small house in a village on the outskirts of a forest.

"So, you have any ideas for a name?"

"Mmmm, nothing comes to mind, how about you?"

"Ahh, I can't ... he's so cute that I can't find a good one"

"Yep, although he's cute like his mother, he has a strong cry like his father. It's truly hard to find a good name for him"

"How about ... ", here' the woman looked at the sky, ".. how about.. no, never mind"

"Say it, what did you think of?"

"Well, I don't know why the name popped up in my head but.."

After a bit of silence, the man asked in inquiring manner ".. so?"

"I don't know it sounds strange but it feels like a good one."

"Well, you know, it's not like I can read your mind, so say it, you stubborn woman."

"Who's stubborn?!"

"Anyway, just say it, I can't wait anymore you dumb girl!"

"AAAH, okay, okay don't rush it. How does ... sound?"

"OOOOOHHH, that's a fitting name. You truly are good at this, but why did you say it was strange?"

"Well, it doesn't sound powerful as we originally wanted."

"It doesn't matter, it's a good one so we can overlook it hehe."

Two years later ...

"Ryuu, come back, it's time to eat!"

"Coming mom, just a second!", a gentle voice resounded from a nearby place.

"Ryuu, why did you get all dirty again, you just changed clothes a while ago!"

"Sorry mom, I was playing and stumbled.", little chubby boy with white hair and purple eyes looked at a silhouette of a girl with a smile on her face.

"Oh you silly little thing, hurry and come with me to change!"

"Yay, mom is not angry, yay, yay!!", the little boy jumped around a girl all happy and joyful.

"Hurry, we are making father wait, let's go eat."

"Yes, hurry, hurry!!!", the boy ran ahead and opened the door to his mother.

"Wait for me you little rascal, slow down", said the girl as she hurried after Ryuu.

...

"Ryuu, say, what's with these muddy stains? Where did you fall?"

"Oh, I saw a small white fox and chased after her and then I stumbled on something..." Ryuu said while remembering and pouting, "... but when I looked to see what I stumbled on, there was nothing, just a muddy puddle beneath me."

"You have to be careful or you will get hurt you rascal." said the girl as she patted his head gently.

The girl said "Ahh, those chubby cheeks, come here you ...!" and reached out with hands pinching boy's cheeks gently.

"Mom, I told you I don't like that! Why do you have to pinch me every time?"

"Because you are a cute little rascal! And you dare ask why", and pinched him again.

"Well, I don't want to be cute if you pinch me every day!" said the boy and pouted again.

"Pfft.... hahahaha!" the girl burst into laughter unable to contain it anymore.

"Mom, stop laughing let's go eat. Father is waiting!"

"Okay, okay, here we gooo."

On the green meadow, there was a small blue house with a wooden table and two benches in front of it. There sat a man with a variety of delicious meals in front of him.

"Daaad, hey dad." the little guy shouted running from the house.

"What's up kiddo, missing your dad huh?"

"Dad, I saw a beautiful white fox!"

"Come here Ryuu ..." said the man and spread his arms ".. whoopsie, here we go" and took Ryuu on his lap. "Tell dad where did you see that white fox."

"Dad it was very beautiful and I ran after it, but I stumbled on something and fell. I almost caught it, stupid ... "

"Okay, don't be sad, you might see it again. It's important that you are okay and didn't get hurt"

"No, I'm okay but it was so beautiful I wanted to bring it home to live with us."

"Hehe .."

"Why are you laughing dad?"

"Ryuu, let's eat first then you can go look for it again. Come, sit". He placed Ryuu at his thigh and glanced at beautiful girl that in the meantime sat across them.

She sat there and looked at them with a pleased expression. Long golden hair fluttered in the wind and she had beautiful blue eyes complementing her beauty.

Skin color like porcelain and the perfect curves of a girl's body.

That is Ryuu's mother Haruhi. She had just turned 20 this year and her beauty was at its peak.

Blue eyes gave a feeling of staring into vast seas and there were a bit of a silver sparkling dots in them.

Her beauty would leave many men, maybe even women breathless and gasping.

Ryuu's father Aito, is the same age as his mother.

He sat there with a gorgeous and domineering appearance more befitting of a girl than a guy.

Although he looked strong, there was only kindness and happiness in his eyes as he listened to his little son talking about his adventures and looking at Haruhi, his dear wife.

He has long black eyelashes and dark long hair hanging after his head complementing each other.

Looking at him for girls could only be breathtaking and magnificent, like staring at a deity that descended on the world of humans.

Crimson red eyes with golden sparkles deep within and thick brows on the forehead.

Simply looking at him was hard.

"How do you like meal Ryuu-chan, is it good?".

"Umu, father makes the best meal!" the little guy shouted and kissed his father on a cheek "Father is the best! Hehe."

"Ryuu, it's not fair, mom wants a kiss too."

"Here mom, you too." said Ryuu while wiggling out of his fathers' hold and ran to his mother under the table.

"~Chu ..." he kissed his mom like his father and stared at her with big purple eyes covered by long eyelashes like his father's.

In those eyes there was a faint vortex of nine colors although it was faint, not able to be seen by a naked eye, it was there. Slowly rotating and pulsating, his pupils widened as his mother hugged him in her bosom. After a few moments, there was soft breathing lingering in the air.

Noticing that faint breath, Haruhi looked at her husband Aito and smiled gently, carrying little fellow that fell asleep to his room. Aito stood up and went with her while humming melodically and following behind the two dear petite forms quietly with a wide smile on his cheeks.

You might think that this little fellow sleeping in his mother's bosom is just an ordinary 2-year-old kid, but reality often knows to trick people.

Asura Ryuu, born under colorful nine colored sky, got reincarnated from the Earth.

He died in his 25th year without prior notice all of a sudden which made his family very sad.

But contrary to his expectations of going to forget everything, he found himself in a vast dark space unable to move.

After some time he heard a deep strong voice "Your name is Asura Ryuu and you will be born again." then space around him turned nine colored.

After that phenomenon receded, he found himself falling through a crack directly into his current house as a nine colored lightning.

That signaled his new start from zero, and he retained all of his memories from his previous life on earth.

That might not mean much if he was an ordinary person back in his previous life, but he wasn't.

Although he was not famous or anything similar, he had peak skills in everything but he liked to remain mysterious and secretive, so nobody knew about it.

He liked to spend a lot of time thinking, and anything he tried went hard at the beginning but after that, he mastered it bit by bit.

He never imagined something like this might happen in reality even though that was his biggest wish - to reincarnate in a martial world full of beauty and limitless opportunities.

At that time he had no idea how his life would turn out, but he was happy that his wish finally came true.
