“So that's the reason how you can be in this world, young man.”

The voice that sounded so deep was wise of a large creature that revealed its majesty. He stood firmly among the towering shady forest trees, in front of me who was putting on a look of a face that I myself could not interpret. I could only stand still, trying to digest the story I had just heard.

One big story about the formation of a world that I did not know before. Which made me move from the [World of Origin] to the world that I am currently working on, a world with a very different atmosphere.

Shady forests with tall trees. The clean air is so refreshing. Clear flowing rivers carried a resounding sound. It was completely different from the previous world I had now left behind.

Before, in the world I came from, a world where every inch of it always felt deafening, full of frenetic and noisy, all of nature that had been polluted, like a world that really deserved to be destroyed.

Maybe I was just exaggerating. Maybe it's just a complaint. Shouts of the mind that wants change. Changing a rotten world filled with depravity. Where the law of happiness is only appropriate for people who have power.

Think of this as just a message of curses. There's no way a little creature like me can change the world. On the contrary, there is only one thing I can do, which is to follow all the currents and demands of the abomination of the universe. At least I've learned enough from a life I thought was so despicable.

Until one day, this empty body soul managed to die from a world that I did not like at all. But unexpectedly, I somehow went to another world that was so different.

I arrived in a wilderness, with tall trees soaring into space. Dawn shone through the cracks of the mega foliage, revealing strands of light that warmed the entire jungle.

The calm I felt instantly vanished when I saw a pair of eyes open from a dry tree that looked old. Followed by the sound of the crackling of wood that moved to break the vacuum.

“Finally my long wait is not in vain. The young man from the unknown world has arrived ... O {Three Major}, the beginning of the will of the three of you has begun completely.”

A trembling sound rang out breaking the silence of the forest. A large figure stood firmly in front, to my surprise not to the cross. The huge tree that had been silent, now stood quietly with the glint of its eyes.

I can only be silent, as if my soul is at the end. For staring at the creature before me that seemed so great.

“Calm down, young man. I just want to welcome and say hello,” said the creature with a calm and blaring voice.

“Ma-What creature are you?” ask me with a tone full of surprise.

“Is that what you're gonna ask first? Don't you want to know how you got here?” answer the creature by throwing questions back.

Also true. From the beginning, everything was not a reasonableness.

I'm already dead. At least that's what I remember in my previous world. But, how could I suddenly be here? Where'sisthis? Or rather, what world is this? Is this the world after death?

“Maybe I better tell you first what really happened to you─ Ah, no ... It would be better if I just tell you ‘the beginning of everything’ so that you understand the meaning of your arrival to this world,” said the creature while slowly sitting in front of me who was still silent in confusion. I don't know what he's going to tell you, but at least the creature doesn't show a threat.

And that's how the creature before me tells a great story about the world I'm now exploring. The earth earth, the eternal land. Born of the Age of Introduction, the beginning of everything in the world.

After hearing that big story, I could only fall silent, trying to digest everything. Starting from the emergence of the Great Entities in charge of twisting the life cycle, the creation of {Three Realms of the World}, the birth of mortal beings, and the beginning of the ⁇ Prosperity Age, until suddenly happened ⁇ Events of Catastrophe that forced {Three Hyang Utama} sacrificed their «Atma» to suppress all disasters and called a young man from the unknown world to replace their position after death.

“Wait first! How could I easily understand all of this? As if I had actually witnessed all the events myself,” muttered I felt no stranger to the story I had just heard.

“That's because you were born into this world over «Atma» from {Three Major}. It's no wonder you have a glimmer of memory from all three. Hm ... It is possible that you will also inherit the power and power of nature like them,” said the creature in front of me calmly.

“So, are you the Pramana who will guide me to achieve what was promised upon my arrival in this world?”

I asked the ‘aneh’ creature in front of me. If it is true that he is the Pramana in the story, then it can explain how the tree that had been silent before me can suddenly move and speak. Because in fact, Pramana is a creature born from the buds of a tree that is given reason and awareness by the Bentala.

“True. I am Pramana the son of Bentala. For a thousand years I was silent here waiting for the arrival of the young man. I am the one given the task by {Three Major Homes} who will guide and guide you to become the leader and support of all «Throughout the World», as well as destroying the remaining Mad Hyang along with the Catastrophe Biang behind it.”

Another world. A world I never imagined before. And I was suddenly called to this world to be a Promised Leader. Whether this is a dream or just wishful thinking, to go and disappear from my sickening home world.

“What's up, young man? Why are you showing such a bitter face? Do you want to refuse the task that you will be carrying in this world?” ask Pramana who might realize my wry look when remembering the rotten world. “But no matter how you reject it, you still won't be able to return to your home world.”

“Ah, no. Instead, I am grateful to be able to come into this world. And the problem of being the Promised Leader, I don't think that's bad either.”

Right, this world looks so much better than my home world. Although I do not know what will happen later, but at least in this world I have the power to change everything in accordance with what I aspire to. That's at least with the task I'm going to take on.

“Good, Young man!” pramana. “Before that, say what your name is!”

“Accbar! My name is Akbar, a man who yearns for world change!” I answered loudly, welcoming the destiny that the world will give with full determination and confidence.

Hearing that, Pramana awoke from her seat, standing firm with her wisdom revealed.

“Wahai Akbar, the Supervised Youth! Receive the respect and loyalty of us who crave the return of prosperity and happiness!”

The Pramana was followed by the sound of creaking from the slowly moving forest trees, revealing creatures similar to him who stood wisely.

They all slowly knelt down, then simultaneously voiced:

“Allow us, {Nation Shajara} the children of Bentala, echoes respect and loyalty to you, O Promised Leader!”
