Chasing Chaos Novel – There was an endless star-speckled canvas stretching out in every corner without any bounds or edges. The universe stretched out punctuated by swirling galaxies and the occasional, majestic supernova which happened more often than one would think.
Anyone else would have been enthralled by this fairytale like scene, unfortunately the only person watching couldn’t care less.
Fu Ling watched indifferently as another comet whizzed past by. It is unknown whether he was born indifferent or has just gotten used to the scenery. Fu Ling walked to a chair and sat down then waved his hand and a transparent panel appeared in front of him. After many years of being forced to do taks by the thing which called itself system, he was finally free. Fu Ling was extremely dissatisfied with this thing that took him away without permission or prior notice but he also knew that he couldn’t do anything hasty so he just did everything he was told obediently. After planning for so long, his efforts finally paid off and he regained his freedom.
Fu Ling was a one in a thousand year genius and had been held in high regard by the whole nation for as long as he could remember. With his efforts, the 21st century had become more and more like the imaginary interstellar era. Civilization had come a long way thanks to him. But there was always two sides of the coin. While most were happy about this development, some were not. While working on an experiment, his lab unexpectedly exploded.
He has long since realized some people were dissatisfied with him and had taken precautions in advance. The explosion would have at most cause some minor injuries and with the advancement of medical technology, he would definitely have been fine. But for some reason, after waking up he found himself in this unfamiliar place with a thing called the system telling him to do tasks and he would be punished when he didn’t oblige. Left with no other choice, he could only do as the system said while bidding his time.
In the course of doing tasks, Fu Ling had discovered that the system seemed to be looking for something in these worlds or rather the person the system works for. After gaining control of the system and going through it’s database, he realized his guess was right but still slightly off. It wasn’t something but someone. Apparently, there was someone called the lord god who ruled over all the worlds. This powerful person was however obsessed with finding someone. They call him Chaos. From the look of things, he was a close confidant who betrayed the lord god and injured him then escaped into various small worlds. He also split his soul into several pieces making it even more difficult to locate.
With Fu Ling’s experience however, he was certain this story is filled with half truths and half lies. Their actions of casually kidnapping and forcing people to work have already left a bad impression on him.
He was already bound to be on opposing sides with the said lord god. This Chaos however, piqued his interest. As someone who was once the closest to the most powerful person ever and was now a fugitive, Fu Ling can’t help but feel curious about his thoughts concerning the whole thing.
He waved his hand and the panel showed up again. In his opinion, a person could only hide when he knew someone was looking. No one would guard against something they were not expecting. Chaos didn’t want to be found by the lord god but Fu Ling wasn’t the lord god. At this time, the whole system program had already been changed by him and had nothing to do with the so called lord god anymore. He searched for a while and after comparing the soul attributes in the system database to various small worlds, he finally found his target.
