Master of none

After all of his little bits of exploring and the knowledge that everything within Genesis was slowly growing without his intervention, Walker found himself sitting in the back training ground of the mansion. He knew that the others were resting or busy, but it was nice to be alone and just look at the stars.

He had been very busy for days and days but having just a moment to reflect was what he wished for the most right now. His contemplation landed on the most important events since he had gained his system and even on to how the world was entirely different.

The fact that what he and so many generations had learned and believed as facts of the world was just a broken world was still shocking. Everyone had their timers to have a chance to find the system they were born for. That had been wrong though. Entirely wrong.

The world was meant to allow everyone to follow their own path with a system connected to the very will of all existence. Meaning that everyone had only been living up to a small piece of potential that wasn't even what they truly wished to pursue anyways.

This was something that made Walker wonder what would have happened to the world if nothing had changed. Relationships with some kingdoms had not been good until there had been Walker's party pushing everyone not to find ways to work together. To solve their problems and open up to learn about their cultures.

There were those who had lived in isolation eventually leading to a path of extinction for their people. There were monsters that could not exist. Elemental spirits that were dormant, monsters dormant, ruins unexplored and unable to be learned from. It was a challenge to survive and keep growing when so much hadn't been right.

The very mana in the world was wrong and no one had even known or understood it until the plans of the demon king had begun progressing faster. Then the immortal king had found a way to leave his self imprisonment and begun causing issues in the elemental planes which could have put the recovering world right at risk again.

All of these events were not simple and had taken a great amount of time. Before Walker had gained the knowledge and strength he possessed now, he would have never imagined he would work on projects that took months.

He would have never said that he could work and study something for days let alone months. The fact he could now stay awake and healthy for weeks at a time was shocking to his prior mindsets about what was possible for a person.

Yet, he and his party had all changed races, grown and adapted through bonds, ancient knowledge, or just generally by working to improve the world and existence itself.

Now the chain quest seemed to have reached the big end point of what he was being pushed to do.

Walker needed to be able to ensure that a society of growth and unity between the elemental planes and also the world was progressing well. He knew that he would be able to keep growing the seeds that had already been sown. However, it was the fact that he was looking at the potential that he would need to venture in to these elemental planes.

He had set up people to go to each elemental plane as representatives. They would be ready in just a couple of weeks. There were potions, additional training, and even items being made to assist them. Some had even been able to have magic scrolls given to them that would allow them to pursue even more safety while learning and bringing information back.

The small mapping ribs were being brought out as well. Testing [pieces for high elemental mana dense areas so that even the stable areas of the elemental planes could be mapped. That alone would improve the safety of everyone traveling along with giving the shifting elemental planes a little more order. The races living there would benefit from this knowledge along with the growth of Genesis's relationship with those races.

All together, everything within and outside of Genesis was progressing immensely.

His eyes closed while his mind wandered even further. Walker felt the manas of the world shifting and swore he could sense the future he wished for being achieved. Whether it was truly a touch of time mana again or just the fact that it all felt right didn't matter. Walker felt that if he wished to see the future, he would be asking for more trouble than anything right now.

The way his mind worked at present was that there was a great boon in seeing potential. But looking for a future that only allowed that potential to flourish was foolish. Manipulating the future to be a solid and set image would just lead to what he didn't see. He had to do his best and act on everything with his best effort regardless of the future he saw. If he only focused on the future he saw, then what of the surprise breakthroughs or the wondrous accidents showing unknown aspects?

Time mana couldn't be something set it had to be fluid. Just as space was the base for all things and other manas influence space, space was present. It was only missing in the chaotic space outside of and around the world and elemental planes. Yet, it was still there in condensed pieces also slamming in to other manas. Mixing with other manas.

All of that chaos gave birth and destruction to other elemental planes and new everything. If time was also present there, then that was why new beings, plants, and everything was able to begin growing in those spaces.

Space could be influenced, but always was present. Then that also meant time was the same, however, even in a palace with nothing, no mana at all, time must be there in another unseen and untouched form.

The strange grayish tone that space mana took when Walker could condense a little was simply his perception. He saw similar gray when he thought of undead mana. Just as he saw a white green with wind mana but a deep green with life mana. The colors of mana that he perceived were all his perception of them, not a fact.

Meaning that time mana could be clear. It could be a vibrant red. It could be perfectly black. Who knew what it was, but it was there and if he were to manipulate it, then he would be asking for trouble.

The future, the past, why was he focused on these when time was always there and always flowing. It was why growth was possible. Life and time, life and death, time and death, they were all connected. Space was just their playing board so that everything else could connect them. Mix with them. Balance them.

His eyes snapped open as Walker looked out, his vision was foggy while he realized that he was looking at a small forested area. But then he was looking at the land before the mansion had been brought here. Next blink he was looking at the mansion surrounded by signs and what appeared to be a museum set up.

He had looked through time and some potential future, but it didn't scare him. The past could be recorded and remembered. The present was what he could always see. The future was a mystery because it always changed. Manipulating time mana could be done but not in a way that would break apart the balance of what made existence exist.

'The will of existence observes you.'

This made it feel that there was truly a being that guided existence. The same as the elemental kings. The same as how the world made Fleur the spirit representing it almost entirely. He had a feeling that whatever the being was also stretched beyond what Walker could even comprehend.

That wasn't a bad thing though. He had time to learn. Time to grow. It just would be a matter of how hard he worked. He had many more years to live. "I can't wait to go exploring in the elemental planes. I have different races to visit and bring here to meet the word." His soft words were to himself. They allowed him to feel he had a personal goal other than just to see Genesis thrive.

He was an adventurer, this was on his to do list. So, after some rest, why not step out and truly explore again. He had a quest to help make the world and Genesis as a whole grow closer to the elemental planes. Genesis was working without him, so he could take the time for himself to get more of the future mysteries solved.
