A Note on Translation
This is a comprehensive story, and translating it while maintaining its narrative flow and style is key. The translation below aims to capture the original intent and tone of each sentence. I've focused on clarity, natural-sounding English, and consistent terminology.
There's a theory about black holes that says they are tunnels to another universe, and in that universe, there's a planet called Graviton. Among thousands of clans, there's a Glacial Clan, descendants of the primordial of water, who possess ice-related powers. This clan was running low on resources, so they decided to explore a structure that held riches, at the cost of defeating its guardians.
At the entrance, they saw records from other clans who had passed through. There were messages and warnings about the great curse of that place, beings as powerful as those who created the stickman race. Even knowing the danger, they entered. Upon arrival, they found the first guardian, who attacked them. In an organized manner, they were able to defeat it easily, finally escaping the misery they were in. Still, they decided to press on, knowing the curse could be anywhere.
Reaching the last room, they found the curse, which was in a chain over a chest. The guardian awoke, and they had to fight it, launching ice powers until they defeated it. They managed to reach the chest, but it was locked with the curse's chain. So, the two clan leaders joined together with the purpose of creating a creature capable of withstanding the curse of the chain, creating a new being they named Taylor. Taylor was created for this purpose, and upon birth, he revealed such great energy that they had never seen before, felt even by the kings of the six kingdoms.
He took the key and opened the lock that held the chains. Upon opening it, he met a creature in his consciousness, which took all his energy and imprisoned it, suppressing that power. The leaders began to collect resources and became rich with the amount of rarities. However, Taylor lost all his powers, which were imprisoned by the curse, and came to be considered "useless" by the other clans and even his own. Nevertheless, one of the leaders was perplexed by the energy Taylor emanated during his creation. So, the two leaders, Zilla and Reuven, decided to create another being similar to Taylor, giving rise to Taylon. Zilla treated Taylon as an inferior being to Taylor, like a failure, causing him to start hating Taylor.
A local tournament was announced to decide who would be the new clan leader in Reuven's place. There were ten participants. With time running out, Taylor sought a new master and went to the clan of Lord Tzuriel, who would teach him how to become stronger. He explained that, to do this, Taylor could consult the Forest of Doom (a labyrinth) and reach the cave it surrounded. Following his master's advice, he went to the forest, but couldn't quickly reach the cave due to the illusion present in the place. Inside, he found several beings of the monster race and, with great difficulty, fought and won.
The big day arrived. In the first fight, he would face his younger brother, Taylon. Even with the training, he couldn't even get close to his brother, being humiliated. The other fights happened, and he went for the dispute for a possible rematch, but lost again. Being expelled from the family for having lost to all his brothers, aimlessly, he began to wander vaguely until, after a long walk, he found something. It wasn't a place of rest, but a being of the virus race, which came to infect him as well. These beings are stickmen contaminated by an intelligent virus that manipulates minds. With no way out, he tried to fight, but couldn't, as this race was many times stronger than the stickmen. He just let the virus do what it wanted, starting to be beaten until he almost lost consciousness, when a virus hunter arrived and broke the stone that controlled it with his sword.
Then a proposal arose: for him to become a virus hunter. He accepted. Taylor was taken to the virus hunters' association and, upon arriving, was fascinated by what he saw: many people who, in some way, had their powers sealed or possessed few powers, but carried energy in their swords. He felt that this was his place. The blacksmith began to make his sword, and they recommended he have a companion.
Then he began his first mission: to go to a city and find out if there was a virus inside. They went, but didn't find anything, until they learned that it had already been defeated by another hunter. After a while, they received the mission to check a portal. Something was strange about this portal, so they agreed to go there.
Arriving at the portal, they entered and realized it wasn't just any portal: it was a portal to a virus dimension, where there were several viruses of different ranks. But, surprisingly, most were very weak, and they were able to fight well until a high-ranking virus arrived. They had to battle hard; then, his companion suffered a major attack and ended up unconscious. Taylor, in his fury, became calm and used all his power, forcing himself to level up and finally managing to defeat the virus. However, he also fell unconscious.
When the two woke up, they realized they were in the outside world and there was a letter that said: "If you pass the academy, then I will personally train you," along with a letter of recommendation to the academy. They entered the academy, where they had theoretical and practical classes and learned a little about the fauna and flora of that world, such as the bioluminescent plant that explodes upon death to spread its seeds. Taylor became interested and went to the local library, which was inside the academy.
By chance, upon touching a book, he opened a secret door: it was a book hidden behind the shelf, inside the wall. Curious, he entered this old library. Everything there looked very old; some scriptures were made on stones, others on old papers, but they were written in illegible letters. Taylor remembered a magic that everyone could use, as long as they had at least a little energy. It was an ancient magic that few believed in, as it was considered a legend, described in his clan's books. He managed to use the magic and began to read.
In these books, he found a kind of diary of beings he had never heard of: human beings. It said they sighted a black hole, and in it there was something Taylor also didn't know: a planet similar to Earth. After several analyses and deep research, they created a machine that distorted space and allowed them to travel faster than light. He didn't understand these concepts, but he found them interesting.
After reading a lot, he discovered that three of these humans went to research this planet. When they arrived, they realized it was in degradation, being sucked into the black hole, but there was still life in the form of microorganisms. These humans were sucked in, and due to spaghettification, they became long and thin, retaining some characteristics but losing a large part of their anatomy, energy, and resistance. They became completely altered. These three were called ancestors: one received the power of the black hole; another, that of the white hole; and the third, the most powerful, received both powers—Nexus, Cosmo, and Cromos.
But one of the microorganisms on that planet was a virus, which ended up coming to this new universe and gained consciousness. To maintain its species, it inhabited Cromos's body, controlling his mind. Nexus and Cosmo tried to calm him, but it was already too late: he was completely dominated by the virus, coming to be called Cronos.
There was a great battle between the ancestors. Nexus and Cosmo believed they had defeated Cronos and, exhausted, went to rest on a new planet called Graviton. Before that, they created the primordials. But Cronos had not been defeated, he was just very weak. Knowing that he could be defeated by the primordials, he proposed a truce, on the condition that the World Tournament be created: a tournament where they would fight the infected in exchange for fame and power. The primordials accepted, as they had no choice.
Thus, the descendants and the six kingdoms were created. In total, there are seven primordials: of nature, speed, water, plasma, elasticity, space-time, and time—with only the primordial of time not founding a kingdom.
The big day of the final test arrived, which would define whether Taylor would really train with him or not. Taylor passed in first, and his friend in second. They then went to the hunters' dimension, specialized in training, where only the best are accepted. Taylor met Reuven again, and his companion went to train with the one who saved them.
The old leader began to train Taylor, teaching him to master his techniques. After the training, Taylor entered the World Tournament with his companion. They passed the preliminaries, until Taylor found a very strong opponent, beyond his strength. The ancestral virus came to watch the fight, and the curse, upon seeing his power, tried to control Cronos, but was defeated in an instant, freeing Taylor.
Taylor emanated an overwhelming energy and showed his new technique: the air began to cool, the tournament barrier froze, and he said: "ABSOLUTE ZERO," freezing everything within the barrier at an atomic level, except him. Cronos was surprised. As soon as the fight ended, Taylor went to rest, but an even higher-ranking virus attacked him. Even using all his strength, Taylor was losing, until someone arrived—but it wasn't who he wanted: it was Cronos, applauding his "spectacle" and saying he was interested in what he carried inside himself.
Upon emanating an aura even more powerful than any curse or creature, the six kings instantly went there, starting a great fight. Taylor, wanting to help, also fought alongside the primordials, but was thrown far away. His desire to help awakened something the primordials had placed inside him: the power of all the primordials. Thus, he fought alongside them against Cronos.
Even so, they faced difficulties, until Cronos revealed his true power, accumulated for centuries, emanating an aura so strong that it made everyone fall to their knees. But this gigantic power awakened who he least wanted: the ancestors. Much stronger than before, in an instant they reached Cronos and struck him with a punch that echoed 124 times throughout Graviton, taking him into space, where they battled until they defeated the virus.
When they returned, they named Taylor the new Primordial of Life. The End.
