After saying those words Luna snapped her fingers with a crisp, cosmic crack that rippled outward like the first heartbeat of reality, and the entire universe started to function again, time unfreezing in a rush of color and motion, while she disappeared along with Akasha in a swirl of starlight and velvet shadow. The inhabitants of universe 4 totally oblivious to the fact that the most absurd anomaly was just born and now ready to begin his glorious journey, their lives resuming as if eternity had never paused.
The world of Kalpa
In a vast field filled with beautiful and vibrant flowers never before seen in a mortal world like earth, petals glowing with inner luminescence and scents that sang to the soul. There, stood Akasha and he was simply, just looking as he took in the atmosphere of this brand-new world, the air thick with magic and promise.
"Finally.... the ultimate fantasy world." Akasha muttered as he took in the magnificent scenery, his voice a low rumble of awe. As far as he could was a vast field that was a mixture of green, blue, yellow, and even red, colors blending in harmonious waves that pulsed like breathing life. Such a scene should look tacky and out of place, but it was as if the very field was alive itself, grass swaying in rhythmic dances, like the air was constantly beautifying the land with gentle, invisible caresses.
Looking around he could see tall mountains that seemed to pierce through the heavens itself, peaks crowned with eternal snow that glittered like diamond dust!! One could also see far in the sky floating structures drifting lazily on currents of pure mana along with, one...two...three... wait.
"There are even seven suns..." He said in a bit of disbelief, their lights layering in a symphony of gold, crimson, and azure. He almost thought all of this was some sick dream, the warmth on his skin too real, the scents too vivid, he couldn't believe him a person who had never been acknowledged before was now in a real fantasy world, his heart pounding with electric wonder.
Then suddenly like the grace of the wind, a breeze scented with jasmine and starfire, Luna, she appeared out of thin air right in front of his divine view. Not like he was complaining, as he went from looking at the sky to looking some much more divine mounds, curves outlined in ethereal glow!
[Enough staring already~ it's time to focus. Say 'Status' to access your system and other items then we will start with a basic introduction to the world of Kalpa before you set out.] Luna said in a teasing manner that sent shivers down his spine as she kind of liked the way Akasha looked at her, her cheeks warming with faint rose.
'Hmph! if only you knew that you're the only person aside from your mother and my sisters who has ever seen me. I wonder what your reaction would be~, the thought a playful spark in her ancient mind.'
"Okay, Status!" he said as he was excited to see what was to come, anticipation crackling like lightning in his veins.
Then suddenly a transparent window popped into view with a soft, crystalline chime.

[A/N: 10 is the limit for normal mortals.]
"Um okay.... what's up with the race? I thought I was a dragon and also, my last name is what exactly?" Akasha inquired from Luna with a raised brow before he decided to casually jump to the worst possible conclusions, his mind already spinning nightmares.
[Well technically you are still.... well, idk what exactly you are. That's for you to eventually explore and learn yourself, the mystery a tantalizing thread. As for being a dragon, the bloodline is currently in your inventory, and you will also receive infinite mana upon awakening. To access your inventory, you just need to will it.] Luna said before explaining the situation with his last name, her voice smooth as silk.
[And your mother doesn't have a last name, so it will be up to you to make it whenever you want, a legacy to forge in fire and glory.]
He nodded hearing this while breathing a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's do this" Akasha slowly exhaled as he thought of the bloodline of a dragon, the intent sharp and focused. Then suddenly a vial full of a swirling white liquid appeared in his hand. 'The blood of a dragon, huh?' he thought as decided to yolo it, grinning with reckless abandon.
[Be prepared for the pain of evolution, Akasha.] Luna warned as she seen him about to gulp the blood down in one go, her tone laced with genuine concern.
Then he stopped and looked in the piercing blue eyes of Luna that sparkled like twin sapphires and spoke. "Much appreciated my dear, Luna."
And then he gulped down the entire vial in a single, defiant swallow and instantly let out a blood curling scream. "ARGHHHHH!!!!! FUCK!!!!" Akasha yelled as he was now dropped to his knees while the ground trembled beneath him, while he felt his entire being evolving or... becoming more complete? His bones cracked and reformed, his flesh tore and restructured itself, it felt as if his soul was even burning with a primal fire.
It was hard to explain what he was feeling aside from the pain, but it felt as if this very bloodline was returning to its origin, a homecoming written in agony and ecstasy.
Luna sat there watching every bit of this process with unwavering calm; while thinking of Akasha's eyes she was now able to see for the first time, their depths pulling her like gravity. Clearly, she wasn't the slightest bit worried about something going wrong with him, her faith absolute.
'Hmmm, I don't know why I never noticed his eyes before, but they are absolutely marvelous, galaxies and voids dancing in eternal waltz.' She thought as she was remembering the ever-changing scenes and then the rotating pupils, hypnotic and infinite. But before she could daydream any longer, Akasha's evolution was now complete, the air thrumming with newfound power.
Now standing there Akasha felt absurdly strong, every muscle humming with divine might. He could literally feel some sort of energy flowing through his veins, hot and electric, ancient and unstoppable. 'This type of strength merely from my race?' he clenched his fist as veins of light pulsed beneath his skin as he thought of all the supreme beings he had yet to meet, their thrones waiting to tremble.
"I can't wait!!" He said as he looked at Luna who was now looking at him weirdly, her gaze soft and starstruck. For a second, he thought he clearly seen stars shining in her eyes, literal constellations swirling in awe.
[Your horns look lovely dear~] Luna spoke seductively as her voice dripped honey as she looks at the void black horns that seemed like they wanted to pierce through the heavens, curved and majestic, wreathed in faint cosmic mist. [Now say 'status' to see your changes.]
'Status!' the command sharp in his mind.

"Dragon of Origin? What the hell is that? and are there any ranks with bloodlines like those novels I use to read?" Akasha asked as he was slightly curious about his race, this type of Dragon was nothing he had ever read about in Fantasy.
[Akasha, The Origin Dragon is the first Dragon to ever exist. Technically it was never born before until now, it's a bit complicated but yes, you are very.... unique] Luna said before continuing, her tone rich with ancient reverence.
[ And yes, similar to those novels all things have ranks. Bloodlines, Artifacts, Pills, Currency, etc.....]
