Atticus’s Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground

Chapter 1302: Plane Will

A blinding white light had engulfed the entirety of Eldoralth.

Beyond their world, the Eldorians could see the once endless darkness of space had become a whitish blur.

It looked like the world was traveling at light speed. At a speed beyond their pitiful comprehension.

The sight of the stars channeling their energy played continuously in their minds, and as they recalled what they had felt at that moment, a shudder ran through their bodies. Never in their lives had they ever felt so small.

Atticus had always seemed like a monster in their eyes. But it was mostly because he was a child below twenty years, capable of doing things centuries old beings wouldn’t dream of.

Regardless, they had witnessed something today. A scene that showed just who held the power in the universe.

Oberon’s gaze was focused upwards, staring into the world beyond with a serious expression on his face.

Eldoralth was ascending.

This was the realization that settled upon the group. And while there was mild anticipation at the fact that they were going to a new world they had never even known existed before, it did nothing to dim the tension that settled in each of their bones.

Atticus had done well to warn them of the dangers of the middle plane. A single mistake, they could have their world wiped clean and every one of them dead.

The powers of the middle plane were beings each of them could never comprehend, able to destroy their world with a wave of a hand. Oberon recalled the room turning deadly silent during the meeting.

Only Atticus’ serious voice had kept echoing despite the shudder that had traveled through the room.

Most of the hardened Eldorians had been shaking, and though it felt embarrassing to admit, even he, Oberon, had also caught his legs trembling.

Atticus had offered no words of encouragement, only warning. Only a heads up on what they should each expect.

‘Is it worth it?’ Oberon glanced at their leader, Atticus. Until now, Oberon still fought with the question of whether this journey to the midplanes was worth the risk.

But he always reminded himself of their situation, of his place.

Atticus was their leader, no matter how young he was. He had saved them. He had led them this far. Without his presence, the current world would cease to exist. The nineteen races that made up Eldoralth wouldn’t have come together.

Without him, they would still be in a constant state of war. No, they would be dead.

Oberon released a large exhale and steeled his mind. He found solace in the arm of Jenera hovering beside him.

Both of them met eyes, and Oberon had to fight the smile that threatened to spread on his lips at that moment.

She had the power to make even the most weighty of things feel so light.

‘She’s so beautiful.’ Oberon momentarily forgot about their ascension, about the impending danger. Instead, all he focused on were the two beautiful eyes looking at him.

Oberon felt Jenera’s grip on his arm tighten.

‘It’s going to be okay, huh.’ He realized that it was her way of offering reassurance.

‘I should be the one reassuring you…’ Oberon thought, slightly embarrassed. He squeezed her hand back, and they both exchanged a brief nod before turning away.

Oberon ignored the unease that settled on the group and was about to focus back on the ascension when he felt the change.

He felt a heavy pressure act on his body, gradually growing by the second. It was as though gravity was continually increasing, but at a pace that affected beings as powerful as the Eldorians.

Oberon’s eyes narrowed as he felt the strain. He quickly glanced around and noticed the narrowed eyes and darkened expressions on the Eldorians.

‘What’s happening?’

That was the last thought that formed before Oberon felt a heavy force slam against his mind. His vision turned blurry, and for a moment, everything else seemed to vanish.

Oberon shook his head, trying to understand what was going on. From Jenera’s hand tightening around his palm, Oberon could tell that he wasn’t the only one experiencing this.

He began thinking fast, only to discover that his thinking speed, one he was so proud of, had slowed down significantly.

Oberon’s eyes widened and turned toward the only person he felt could provide an explanation. But Atticus’ eyes were closed. He seemed to have entered a deep state of meditation.

Oberon was about to speak when Whisker suddenly spoke.

“It’s called the plane will.”

Everyone turned toward the wild man. Of them all, Whisker was the only one who didn’t have even a shred of tension on him. He seemed calm. Too calm. As though what was currently happening was an everyday thing to him.

“Plane will?” Oberon carefully asked, and the others focused on the conversation.

Whisker was a being they had seldom conversed with, especially when Atticus wasn’t there. It was well known now that he was from the middle plane, and it made them realize that he would be a valuable source of information, as neither of them had any idea what to expect in the middle plane.

“You can think of it as a uniform, pure will that exists around the middle plane,” Whisker said, voice even.

“We call it the Will of the Plane itself. It has no defined concept, and it affects all living beings equally. It’s proof that we’ve left the lower planes behind.”

“How does it affect people?” Oberon asked quickly. Whisker had said it affected all the same way, but hadn’t mentioned how.

Whisker smiled faintly. “It acts on your will. Think of it like mana, an energy found everywhere. But unlike mana, it doesn’t empower you. As the name implies, it challenges your will. It’s a force that constantly clashes with it. If your will isn’t strong enough to withstand it… well, let’s just say you won’t survive it.”

The Eldorians each sucked in cold breaths. Then their gazes widened as they realized the implications.

“Then…!” Avalon was the one who exclaimed, the image of his wife and family flashing in his eyes.

The Eldorians were no better. If the effects of the plane will were this severe on them, then they couldn’t imagine how it would be on the rest of the normal population.
