The Omniverse was a vast place, anything could happen, anything was possible. Though the Omniverse was indeed not infinite, despite what many might say, it was definitely sizable though it held maybe millions of multiverses where different variations of everything and anything exists. It also was able to create new things that aren't native to other multiverses.

Lengthy blue hair, sharp purple eyes, dark skin, blue tattoos all across his body, a matte black tattered cape with matte black pants and a silk white belt wrapping around his waist. A Celestial Dragon, the Celestial Dragon. One of the first of three races across the Omniverse. This race is unrelated to that of Typhon and Echidna, a race that can compete with the Gods, hell, even exceed them. As I watched upon this man of indefinite power, I decided I needed to bring him to Realm, train him, teach him. He was powerful and was far more unique than any other being that this Omniverse has ever seen. So much hidden potential. A humanoid figure that has existed within this Omniverse for an unknown amount of time, capable of transforming into a dragon that is multiple planets large. The sole survivor of the race of Celestial Dragons, often regarded as "The Dragon King'' or "Arcane Dragon" the strongest of the Celestial Dragons, the master of his Vitality. Born with a special Vitality, it goes by the name of "Dragonic Arcane" enabling him to access vast amounts of insanely powerful dragonic abilities.

This man has a story like no other, one that anyone could sit down and listen to. But I needn't stall any longer, this is the story of Xander, the Dragon King.

An avatar was sent into this Dominia of the Celesital Dragon Dominus, Crocell. He was a fully grown man and who had no prior traces of ever existing before this moment. There was nothing going on amongst the race of Celestial Dragons for this moment to occur, YET, they had been bestowed something, someone, that was stronger than a Cosmi God, arguably the strongest being to exist yet in the vast Omniverse. It was a dark night when he was "born", the stars scattered the sky across this large planet that ranged around 350,284 kilometers in circumference. This was the main home, the main 'city' you could say of this race of Celestial Dragons. Dark clouds soared across the sky and many of the other Celestial Dragons gathered around very quickly to witness what had just been brought to them. Some from all the way across the planet even were able to make it in just a few minutes. Travel was not an issue from Celestial Dragons. The man looked down and around at everyone that collected to his place of descent, his sharp purple eyes darted around, looking at EVERY single last Celestial Dragon that was there in his presence. He was horrific. A tattered black cape across his back, covering one of his arms, torn up black pants with a silky white belt to cover his waist, blue tattoos scaling all across his body, a necklace with teeth of the Celestial Dragons that lie upon his neck and chest, and of course that lengthy dark blue hair that no other Celestial Dragon had ever seen before, a color almost foreign to them. The man then finally spoke out to those who surrounded him... he sounded like a maniac, ready to murder anyone and everyone

"𝐘ⱺυ αᥣᥣ ꭑυ𝗌𝗍 ᑲ𝖾 𝗍ɦ𝖾 𐓣ⱺ𝗍𝖾αᑲᥣ𝖾, 𝗏𝖾𝗋𝗒 ρⱺω𝖾𝗋𝖿υᥣ 𝗋α𝖼𝖾 𝗍ɦα𝗍 ꭑα𐓣𝗒 𝖼αᥣᥣ 𝗍ɦ𝖾 '𝐂𝖾ᥣ𝖾𝗌𝗍𝗂αᥣ 𝐃𝗋α𝗀ⱺ𐓣𝗌' α𝗋𝖾𐓣'𝗍 𝗒ⱺυ?"

Some of the Celestial Dragons muttered amongst themselves, they could tell he too was a Celestial Dragon, but not what kind, the man was so mysterious that not even his dragonic ability could be deciphered by the others who surrounded him, something that was usually an easy task for Celestial Dragons to do. Finally, one of the Celestial Dragons in the crowd responded,

"We are! We are the 'Celestial Dragons' you speak of, who are you? Are you one of us? You are foreign to us all."

...

"𝚰𐓣ᑯ𝖾𝖾ᑯ, 𝚰 αꭑ ⱺ𐓣𝖾 ⱺ𝖿 𝗒ⱺυ αᥣᥣ, ᑲυ𝗍 𝚰 𝗌ɦⱺυᥣᑯ 𐓣ⱺ𝗍 ᑲ𝖾 𝖿ⱺ𝗋𝖾𝗂𝗀𐓣 𝗍ⱺ α𐓣𝗒 ⱺ𝖿 𝗒ⱺυ, 𝗒ⱺυ ɦα𝗏𝖾 ꭑ𝖾𝗍 ꭑ𝖾 ᑲ𝖾𝖿ⱺ𝗋𝖾, 𝗍ɦⱺυ𝗀ɦ 𝗒ⱺυ𝗋 ꭑ𝖾ꭑⱺ𝗋𝗒 𝗃υ𝗌𝗍 ωⱺ𐓣'𝗍 αᥣᥣⱺω 𝗂𝗍. 𝚰 αꭑ 𝐗α𐓣ᑯ𝖾𝗋, 𝐓ɦ𝖾 𝐃𝗋α𝗀ⱺ𐓣 𝐊𝗂𐓣𝗀. 𝐘ⱺυ𝗋 𝐊𝗂𐓣𝗀. 𝐘ⱺυ𝗋... 𝐆ⱺᑯ."

Silence once more ensued upon the Celestial Dragons, there was a special Divine Right in the Celestial Dragons world, of which was something very chaotic to say the least. Many have claimed to be the Dragon King before, but upon doing the deed of the Dragon King, have died a merciless death by the population. According to the history of the Celestial Dragons, when the Dragon King is founded, the true Dragon King, he is the one and the only, the sole survivor of the Celestial Dragons. The rest must perish. This is called the Divine Right, as the Celestial Dragon King is a gift from their God. This is the one time that the Celestial Dragons felt slightly convinced that this man who claimed to be the Dragon King was truly the Dragon King. They could not tell what his dragonic power was. Fear crossed every single Celestial Dragon's mind as they looked back up to Xander to see him squatted on the ground with the most horrific, maniacal, insane, smile they've ever seen.

"𝚰𝗍 𝗌𝖾𝖾ꭑ𝗌 𝚰'ᥣᥣ 𝗃υ𝗌𝗍 ɦα𝗏𝖾 𝗍ⱺ 𝗌ɦⱺω 𝗒ⱺυ αᥣᥣ ωɦ𝗒 𝚰'ꭑ 𝖼αᥣᥣ𝖾ᑯ 𝗍ɦ𝖾 𝐃𝗋α𝗀ⱺ𐓣 𝐊𝗂𐓣𝗀..."

Xander began to stand up above all the other Celestial Dragons that surrounded him. He kept that same smug smile on his face as suddenly, his tattoos began to glow a bright blue and his hands grew a bright blue color along with his tattoos. After a moment's time, he clasped his hands together speaking a couple words... "Archaic Arcane, ensue" A blitz of blue light surfaced across the entire planet, causing a shockwave that would go around the entire area of the planet, vaporizing and killing any living Celestial Dragon in the matter of seconds. Now Xander was alone on this planet, he had done the first part of his King duties, now he had to finish the rest for the entire galaxy. So he did, he flew out into the empty void of space until he finally reached the core of the galaxy, he transformed into his Celestial Dragon for, the "Arcane Dragon" that was absurd in size and with the one singular blast from his mouth, every Celestial Dragon that had ever existed would be wiped from existence. He enjoyed killing every last Celestial Dragon, bringing them to their absolute extinction. Then, Xander would fly alone, he scouted out every last part of the galaxy and lived alone as the Dragon King was destined to be. And for a while he floated alone in the Dominia. His origins are still vastly unknown, but all you need to know is he has lived multiple lives and lived in multiple multiverses prior to his existence as the Dragon King. This was his last life, and this time he could not die because of how powerful he was. But his time would run short, when I would fatefully send someone to go and take him, take him to Cosmos and I's realm, to give him purpose once more. He now resided on the old main city planet, the name of the planet was "Drakon" simple but it got the point across I supposed. He walks across the planet, constantly mediating and training his skills and powers. This is when I finally decided to send someone, someone who would change his life forever. Ose.

A blaring bright light casted upon the planet I walked across for what seemed like forever. A sign of life or interaction? That'd be something new and unique to see. Gold and purple colors surrounded this ball of light and as the ball of light fully formed, it began to float around and soon enough it tracked me down and landed right in front of me. It would burst open like a bubble and then a woman would begin to appear... she looked rather unique, gorgeous to say the least, she had multi-colored hair and clothing, black and white/blond to be exact. On her clothing, the shoulder area or so, she had two wing-like pieces coming out from there. One was light white and the other was dark gold. Each contained an orb within, the light wing had a golden orb within it whilst the gold-black wing had a purple orb in it. Her hair was half blond and half black, her clothing followed suit with that pattern. As she appeared on this planet, she had held her hands out as what looked like the chaos and light of the surrounding area would begin to collect in her hands. She then spoke out in a gentle voice...

"𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒓 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒂, 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒎𝒆. 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝑿𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓."

I looked at her a bit confused for a moment, her intentions were obviously nothing evil with me, but I could tell she was seeking something. I responded to her inquiry,

... Silence, I was beat, I guess my purpose was almost meaningless anymore, but I wasn't fully convinced still.

...A challenge, a challenge I wanted to take, immediately I dashed forward at a speed that was 10x faster than light. I had infused my fist with my Dragonic Vitality and went for a hook punch right to the temple of Ose's head. Then I realized how much of a fool I was...

"𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒌, 𝑿𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓. 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆, 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒕."

Anguish fell over me, she, Ose, had blocked my absolute strength and speed with not her hand, not a finger, but her eyes. Her eyes she blocked it with. Her eyes. A simple glance. This has given me every reason to become stronger than her. Whatever training she did far exceeded what I had ever done in all of my life times.
