Omega Summoner

[You have been transported to The Void.]

The system notification that Adrian received is not something that he expected. He thought that the black hole would kill him, and he would not choose to revive. He wanted that to happen so that he would spawn at the Paradox Planes in his next log in.

The next problem that he encountered is that the chat function is not available in this area. He could more or less know why because the Daemos elders have already told him about the Void. An area where even their origin magic sometimes fails to activate.

The Daemos elders told him that the Void is not actually an entity or another world in a sense. They said that the Void is the space between dimensions where escape is difficult. Since it is a space between dimensions, it is said to be a place where things that suddenly vanish is stored.

The Daemos elders also said that it would take an Arch Demon to even attempt at escaping there. This is one of the reasons why the demons do not like dimension hopping without proper guidance or a way to get back. He is told that there is a 1% chance for Dimensional Teleportation to fail and transport him to the Void instead.

Adrian could see that their theories about the Void is not entirely false, but it is mostly false. The Void is even dark for him that can see in the dark. As if the surrounding absorbs light to the point that he looked like he is floating in a dark space.

Adrian is just freely floating in the area without a care in the world. He concluded that gravity is not present in the void and even stars are not present. He is no longer inside the universe but in a real gap between dimensions. The Daemos elders said that the Void was already there even before the dimensions split.

Adrian unfurled his wings and noticed that he could actually control the way he floats using his wings. The only thing that he needs to know right now is the way out. He is not an Arch Demon or even qualify for being one as of now. He did think that the Void is an ideal place to increase one's Persona because the energy will not be felt by other existences.

Adrian made a decision to fly in a fast speed since he needed to see how far the Void even stretches. If there is even a limit to the space of the Void. He could at least make an informed guess that pocket dimensions that collapse are sent to the Void.

The Void is not empty as is described but that could be explained by the pocket dimension that is absorbed. Other than the islands that the Grove of Vitaemortem had, there is no other notable land formation.

As Adrian is thinking what to do, he suddenly saw something glowing in the distance. At first, he thought that those glowing things were stars but that could not be. He is in a special place where even the laws of the universe do not apply.

He flew towards the glowing things in the distance as he hoped that it might be a gate or an exit. He has nothing to lose at this point and would welcome a monster that could kill him. If his character gets killed, then he could just respawn at the Paradox Planes.

Adrian did not know that around him are numerous insects like lifeforms that live inside the void. Their eyes glowed in a pale violet light when Adrian is no longer in the area. The good thing for him is that they are only watching him as they ate the debris of the pocket dimension.

Adrian reached the glowing things, and it is not celestial stars or a gate back to the main world. The thing that he is seeing is none other than a giant bug snake hybrid. The creature before him is about a thousand times bigger than Kanlaon in his full size.

The creature has a snake like body but is covered in carapace like shells with numerous claws like appendages. He could not see the whole form because his eyes have yet to totally get used to the new environment. The one thing he could clearly see is the numerous large round eyes on the head of the creature.

Adrian tried identifying the creature before him, but it only failed. Despite his numerous attempts, he could not even peek at the level or even one letter of the name of the creature. He is not even sure if the creature before him has a soul because his evil eyes are not working.

The creature paid no attention to Adrian at first, but it shifted its attention when Adrian used his evil eyes to analyze it. Inspection magic or appraisal magic is still a magic spell which means individuals gifted with great magic sense could detect it if it is used on them.

The huge monster then looked towards Adrian with all of its hundreds of eyes. The huge creature did not attack Adrian, but it looked at him with curiosity. Adrian became mortified when the huge creature suddenly focused on his petite figure.

From his knowledge, huge monsters will pay no attention to you as long as you do not become openly hostile or inflict pain on it. Why would a dragon be bothered by a small squirrel for example? This is the logic that Adrian uses but it seems his logic has failed him this time.

The attention of the huge creature is glued to him. When he sways to the left, the huge monster's head would tilt a bit despite not being noticeable due to its sheer size. Adrian does not know what to do because he could get eaten if he tries to run.

Adrian might not care that he dies but he does care on how he dies. He does not like dying due to being swallowed. The account of players dying inside a monster's stomach is nothing to laugh at when read about their graphic and gruesome death.

"Should I attack first and maybe get lucky to die with hit? Or should I just run away and find another monster to kill me since the Void is not desolate after all." Adrian thought but another voice in his head sounded.

"Childe, what brood did you come from? Your form is not familiar even for me who has lived since the beginning of time." A feminine and warm voice echoed in Adrian's head which greatly confused him.

"Where is that voice coming from?" Adrian thought as he looked around but saw no one there except for him and the huge monster before him.

"Do not tell me!?" Adrian muttered as he looked at the huge monster which name could now be seen.

Monster: Void Mother

"Can you hear me, child?" the warm female voice once again rung in his head.

Adrian does not know if he should speak verbally or just think about what he says. He even wonders if the Void Mother could actually read his thoughts. Nevertheless, the Void Mother is not hostile against him as the tone of her voice is not rough or carry bloodlust.

"I am not from any brood, Void Mother. I am from the other side of the Void." Adrian replied using his thought. He directed this sentence to the Void Mother hoping she could hear it.

Adrian could more or less figure out how the telepathy works. If the Void Mother could read his mind, then Adrian would have been killed instantly for thinking that she is a mindless beast. It seems that the telepathy works only if you put intent in the thought.

Adrian wanted the Void Mother to know his answer which is why he intended for that thought to be sent to the Void Mother. Luckily, he is correct and that is also how the Void Mother is speaking to him telepathically.

"The other side of the Void. Do you mean you are from the Known Universe? That should not be possible as you have the same energy like us. You carry within you a speck of Origin energy. The savages of the Known Universe would not be able to traverse to this place as they will die upon entering." The Void Mother telepathically sent which shocked Adrian.

The huge monster before her is actually like him that uses Origin Energy. His thoughts are suddenly running wild because of all the hypothesis he is thinking about.

"Could it be that the Daemos is not actually from the universe of Pandemonium? If that is the case, then it makes sense why the Daemos cannot use elemental magic like the others. Even the other Asmodian races could use elemental magic but the Daemos cannot." Adrian thought as all his doubts about the Daemos are being cleared due to his interaction with the Void Mother.

"I believe that you might have just grown up in the Known Universe because of being lost. This place should be your real home." The Void Mother stated which made Adrian shudder.

It is not Adrian that really shuddered, but it is his character. It feels as if his character is always meant to be here. As Adrian is about to ask a question, a portal suddenly opened behind him then a giant hand grabbed him. The hand pulled him and even the Void Mother did not react because the portal is made with Origin energy. She just thought that the lost child's brood is reclaiming him.
