A man in shabby clothes woke up from his sleep. He woke up in a small house located in the middle of the forest.
"Where am I?"
He moved to look for a mirror. When he was in front of the mirror, he was shocked by the figure in front of him.
He is Erga Nagara who rose after experiencing death for the first time in the forest with Gea Aryin. Erga still has the same face and body as the previous era. And also still remembers his life journey.
He returned to life in a different time and thought that he had risen hundreds of years ago since his death.
"I have to find out what really happened!" Erga said as he walked out of the house.
While outside the house, Erga was a little shocked by the situation. The sky he knew was dark red, but now he saw a sky that was so bright and alive, light blue.
Erga walked away from the small house to look for other people who lived in that era.
***
After walking for a long time, Erga arrived at a rice field and found three farmers. Then, Erga immediately approached the three farmers.
"Excuse me... I want to ask, where am I?" Erga asked while bowing.
"..."
Everyone fell silent when they heard Erga's question. "Young man, are you healthy?" asked one of the farmers.
"Of course, I woke up in a small house in the middle of the forest. Maybe I was dreaming, but this felt real. Can I ask for information regarding this place?"
The three farmers did not answer Erga's question and instead looked at each other. In the end, Erga was beaten by the three people until he became unconscious.
***
Erga was taken to a house located on a hill. At that moment, he woke up.
"That's really bad, just being beaten by ordinary people like my friends, you can faint like that!" Said a masked man (25 years old) who was casually sitting near the door.
"Hey, where am I and who are you?"
"Don't panic, I'm Yuga and you are at my house."
Erga immediately remembered something he wanted to ask.
"Okay, I'm Erga Nagara. I have a question, where am I and what is the name of the area?"
"Haha... So many questions right away. Now you are at Vajava Hill."
Erga was surprised by the man's answer. Because in his previous life, there was no such thing as Vajava Hill.
"Is there a special name for this era?"
"We are in the era of eltera."
"What?" Erga was shocked again because he was living in a more frightening era.
According to legend, the Eltera era was an era for people who still used strong magic powers and still believed in their ancestors. But Erga didn't know much more about that era.
"Then... This world is a magical world. Can you use magic power?”
"Magic Power? You mean, eltera power?"
"Does eltera use powerful powers, such as using fire and other powers?"
“Yeah, more or less like that. Why don't you know the power of eltera, where do you come from?"
"I'll be honest with you. It's like I came from another dimension or maybe came from the future. In my previous life, I died in the time of King Arata and I returned in this era. This must sound very strange and impossible, but it is very real."
Yuga nodded his head as he said, "I've heard tales like this. I believe you, get up and follow me."
Yuga stood up to take Erga somewhere.
***
This place is not too far from Yuga's house. There are many stones in that place and one of the stones has writing on it.
"This is an Eltera stone and this is an ancestral message using ancient writing. I can read it, but I don't understand the meaning."
ᮙᮨᮔᮥᮏᮥ ᮞᮃᮀ ᮕᮨᮔ᮪ᮏᮃᮌᮃ ᮓᮃᮔ᮪ ᮙᮨᮔ᮪ᮎᮧᮘᮃ ᮊᮨᮘᮨᮛᮥᮔ᮪ᮒᮥᮍᮃᮔ᮪. ᮊᮨᮘᮃᮀᮊᮤᮒᮃᮔ᮪ ᮃᮓᮃᮜᮃᮂ ᮠᮃᮜ᮪ ᮚᮃᮀ ᮄᮞ᮪ᮒᮤᮙᮨᮝᮃ. ᮘᮤᮃᮁᮊᮃᮔ᮪ ᮊᮨᮠᮤᮓᮥᮕᮃᮔ᮪ ᮒᮨᮒᮃᮕ᮪ ᮠᮤᮓᮥᮕ᮪ ᮓᮃᮔ᮪ ᮘᮤᮃᮁᮊᮃᮔ᮪ ᮊᮨᮙᮃᮒᮤᮃᮔ᮪ ᮒᮨᮒᮃᮕ᮪ ᮙᮃᮒᮤ.
---That is the original writing on the Eltera stone in ancient writing.---
"Okay, can you read it to me?" Erga asked with a smile.
Yuga was silent and didn't say anything. Remembering something, Yuga held Erga's hand while forcing him to return to his house.
***
When he arrived home, Yuga showed him a box containing a ring.
"This is the artiga ring. The person who wears it can know and understand the meaning of writing that the user does not understand. Now wear it and say 'RISE' on the ring!" Yuga said while giving him the ring.
Erga put the ring carefully on his ring finger.
"RISE... THE ARTIGA RING!"
The ring glowed with red light, encircling Erga's hand. After the ring's light disappeared, a black mark was visible on his hand.
"Black mark? Now, what should I do?"
Yuga showed a paper that said; ᮊᮨᮠᮤᮓᮥᮕᮃᮔ᮪.
"Try reading this!"
Erga gaped and still couldn't believe it. Writing that was so foreign to him felt like writing that was commonly used in general.
"Life?"
"That's right. The artiga ring has a natural eltera power that can interpret everything. The leader of the Zonery organization gave it to me. He told me to give it to someone who really came mysteriously."
"Amazing!" Erga was amazed by the power of eltera. With this power, he believes he can solve the mysteries in the world.
Suddenly Yuga's friend came in a hurry.
"The Grera is here! take cover!"
A huge fireball blows up Yuga's house. Based on his friend's warning, Yuga managed to protect Erga's life with 'Seyga Technique: Light Barrier'. But unfortunately, his entire house was destroyed by fire along with his friends.
Someone walked over to Yuga and Erga. He is the same as a human, but has cracked skin that flows with fire and has markings on his face.
"Damn, it was that weak human who thwarted my plan!" Someone said in front of Erga and Yuga.
Yuga was furious, "Grera Seigard? Then why did you destroy my house? Bastard!"
Yuga released a seyga technique by pointing his hand towards Grera.
“Seyga Technique: Black lightning, come!” Black lightning came covering Yuga's entire body. One second after that, Yuga's hand released black lightning and attacked Grera quickly.
"Eh? What is this? Want to play around?" Said Grera who didn't feel the slightest pain when attacked.
Erga was frightened because the creature in front of him was able to withstand Yuga's attack just by standing.
"Yuga, we have to run!"
Grera laughed out loud seeing Erga who was so useless in the slightest.
Yuga kowtowed to the ground. Erga was shocked by what Yuga did, even though the threat was already in front of him.
Erga shouted, "Yuga, what are you doing?"
"Hahaha... OK, I will grant your wish to die!" Said Grera proudly.
Grera took out a fireball in his right hand and created a large fireball to attack. Erga is very pessimistic about the situation. He fell and immediately followed what Yuga was doing. Erga thought that the second death was in sight.
Grera couldn't stop laughing because Yuga and Erga were helpless in front of him.
“Hahaha… Be calm!” Grera said while laughing out loud.
Just as he was about to launch an attack, suddenly...
Black lightning with incredible power appeared from the sky and struck Grera. The fireball disappeared along with his body without any remains. The eltera technique was so great that the ground around it was destroyed.
