Chapter 5 - Origin Void

"Ugh…"

Lukas groaned, feeling the throbbing of his aching head because of the alcohol from last night. 

His eyelashes fluttered imperceptibly as his eyes slowly opened. 

A clear blue sky with patches of floating white clouds presented itself to him instead of the familiar wooden ceiling. 

This sight made his thoughts lag, causing him to pause for a moment. 

"This…"

When he recovered from his stupor, he hurriedly sat up and looked at his surroundings. 

Confusion and vigilance quickly took over his mind. 

Around him, a relatively large patch of empty land, with only the soil on the ground and nothing else, could be seen. 

Such a scene made Lukas think that he was out in the wild. 

But after taking a closer look, a frown suddenly appeared on Lukas' face. 

"What the hell is this place?" He muttered. 

His observation made Lukas realize that he's not in the wild. Instead, he is in a… strange space. 

That's right. A strange space. 

Beside the soil he's stepping on, there's only the blue sky and sun above him in this place. 

Only a 100sqm of soil and beyond that is nothing but pure darkness with only dots of light around. 

It looks just like vacuum space!

"How did I end up in space?"

Lukas felt like question marks were about to pop up above his head from all the questions. 

Shaking his head, Lukas forcibly composed himself to think more clearly.

Based on the scenery around, he roughly concluded that the place he's stepping in right now is a small piece of soil floating in outer space. 

As for how he ended up here, that's something he needs to study first. 

But just as his thoughts are starting to settle, Lukas suddenly furrowed his brow. 

Raising his head, he stared at the clear blue sky and the bright sun above, muttering, 

"If I'm in a floating piece of soil in outer space… how can there even be a sky and sun above me?"

This question made Lukas' still aching head start hurting. 

"Damn it! I shouldn't have drank too much last night."

"How could such a weird thing even happen to me?"

Cursing under his breath, Lukas stood up and took a careful look around him.

Studying this place is the only way to understand his current situation. 

Maybe by looking around he can find something that can somehow enlighten him. 

With such thoughts, Lukas started walking around, reaching the edge of the soul. 

Staring straight ahead, the empty void seems so quiet.

It is not the type that causes fear. Instead, it is one that makes you feel peaceful. 

Suddenly, a question popped up inside Lukas' head. 

"Is it possible for me to leave this place?"

When this thought crossed his mind, Lukas immediately shook his head. 

From the few things he learned during class in his past life, Lukas is aware of how dangerous it is to be in space without proper equipment. 

Right now, he is only wearing a shirt and pants without anything else on him. 

Such clothing doesn't offer any protection at all. Most importantly, there's no oxygen in space, which will likely cause his death. 

However, even though he is aware that it is dangerous, Lukas can't get rid of the itch of curiosity in his head.

Stopping for a moment, Lukas had an idea. 

Removing his shirt, Lukas rumpled it into a ball, and without hesitation, he threw it towards the void. 

Whoosh! 

Thung!

Unlike the expected outcome, where the shirt will start floating in space, a dull sound echoed the moment his shirt hit the air on the edge of the soil.

The shirt seems to have hit something and slid down to the ground. 

This scene made Lukas' eyes light up. 

"There's an invisible wall!"

Walking with hurried steps, he first picked up the shirt and wore it back, before turning his attention in front. 

"There's actually a wall at the edge of this place. This erases the possibility of going out there."

Since he already knew that there's a wall separating this place from the outside, Lukas stretched out his hand confidently and knocked on it.

Thung! Thung! Thung! 

The same dull sounds as before once again rang in this small space.

Putting his hand on his chin, a thoughtful look appeared on Lukas' face. 

"Since I can't leave here anyway, I'll just walk around to see if I can find anything useful."

At this thought, he turned around and started looking. 

This place is only 100sqm, not that small, but not too big either. 

Beside what he already noticed before, this place is really just an empty piece of land. 

'However, even though it's empty, the soil looks so healthy. Maybe I can plant a thing or two here.'

Just as this thought crossed his mind, something on the ground not that far away caught his eyes. 

"Hmm? What is that?"

At the center of this space, buried on the ground, an object could be seen slightly sticking out. 

Walking up to it, Lukas crouched down and pulled it out. 

However, the moment his hand touched it, an explosion seemed to occur in his mind. 

A rush of information assaulted his mind, making him pause for a second. 

After he recovered, a stunned look appeared on his face.

The next moment, a joyful light shone from deep within Lukas' eyes! 

"I-I awakened?! I awakened! No way, I really awakened!"

Lukas felt a rush of joy at this moment and had a hard time trying to contain his own emotions.

From the information he received just now, Lukas finally understood where he was. 

Origin Void. 

That is the name of this place, and also the name of his awakened Seed!

Seed of Origin Void! 

This space itself is the ability of his seed. A space of origin void that is personally his! 

Here, in the origin void, he can do everything. Because this place is a world by itself. A world that he owns! 

However, at the moment, Lukas can feel that he can only exert meager control over this world. 

Despite this, a bright light shone deep inside Lukas' eyes. 

"I just awakened so this is not surprising."

"With time, as I take care of my own seed and make it grow, my abilities will surely improve as well!"

An expectant smile quietly appeared on his lips.

At the same time, the image of two people flashed inside his mind. It was Bela, his wife, and their daughter, Chloe. 

"Now that I have awakened, I can surely give my wife and my daughter an even better life."

Tender affection linger in his voice, revealing his deep emotion for his family.
