Spectral Regalia

Ch 17: A History Lesson 1

Avrin was not one to be lectured, He found it annoying and demeaning that after reaching a near peak in his life, that someone would dare to treat him like a child. What made it more frustrating was that the one doing so was God himself, so it wasn't like Avrin could ignore him. Every word the being spoke was worth more to him than anything else he could desire. He knew that the words were 100% correct in every aspect, no if's or but's.

"I apologize, but it wasn't as if I could just not do anything. It seems my emotions run deep for situations that I have failed in before." Avrin's voice was laced with sadness.

God replied softly, "Well, it can't be helped. You are, after all, allowed to do as you please on Seleria. For now, take some time off to try and recover. This place has time that runs the same as on Seleria. An hour here would do you a lot of good to relax Avrin." He smiled. "Nothing too fancy."

Avrin was intrigued by this demension to such an extent that he pondered asking God if it was possible to recreate such a place on a smaller scale. It would give him extra time to train his body and practice his ability.

"I'll be sure to do so. You're not staying then?" Avrin asked.

"Not at all. I have other things to do and, as I have stated before, I like to tend to them without making it all happen in the blink of an eye." Avrin felt somewhat sorry for God. It seemed that even though he could do anything he pleased instantly, he preferred the more hands-on approach.

"Very well." he said quietly and in that moment he felt god's presence disappear. "It seems losing myself made me realise two things." Talking to himself, he could manage to keep some semblance of sanity in the isolated, cosmic space.

"Firstly, I need more control over my emotions to avoid a situation like that happening again. I don't think such strain on my body would be wise until I have trained more. It also seems like I will attack anything near me, regardless of the danger, which would be bad if I meet someone as strong as Syranna. She didn't hesitate to kill me." The mere thought of her name sent a flash of annoyance through him.

"Secondly, I'll only experiment on people who truly deserve to be used as test subjects: rapists, murderers, and criminals of the worst sort. That way, I can better avoid the first thing. That will also allow me to trial and error to my heart's content, as well as enjoy myself." He grinned menacingly. He would have no mercy on such people.

"For now though..." He laid back on the motionless air, floating in space with his hands behind his head, surrounded by the nothingness of the void, his right foot over his left. He shut his eyes, wondering if he could fall asleep, but his mind wasn't so forgiving and decided it was time for him to experience a full experience of the past.

Humanity had struggled in the past wars, which were plentiful after the United States decided to wage war on Russia due to their constant head-butting in affairs. Unfortunately, the real reason was Oil had grown so scarce that the wars were supported by each country's citizens to the point of several protests being held, demanding for actions to be taken.

That being said, other countries were forced to take sides. China sided with Russia and India joined them, because the U.S. never took the country seriously. The so-called BRICS coalition gained tremendous wealth in 2092. This allowed those countries to happily advance their military might due to the internal trading and deals between themselves. Of course, the U.S. was joined by France, Israel, England, & Canada. They also increased internal trading with one another. Australia decided to remain neutral after the prime minister decided not to kowtow to the U.S. anymore.
