The rain that once seemed endless was slowly losing its ferocious intensity that it once had. The clouds that ha once blocked out the sky slowly faded in the distance. The sun that had once lit the sky so bright had returned, showering the world with its warm rays.
Yet non of of these were seen by any.
As the world came to a calm once again, it seemed as if no life remained. The water was still, the winds were nonexistent, and the sun was a constant.
All but two beings were remaining in the endless ocean of water.
One unconscious on the now dry peak of the once mighty mountain.
The other, unconsciously floating in the vast ocean. His body only being held up on a piece of bark the size of his body.
Yet nether would be able to witness the majesty of the new ocean.
The world around them started to fade away. Once it was faded the two were floating in a mysterious space. The world around them seemed to be made of strings of all sorts. It looked like the cosmos. Celestial like bodies seemed to take up most of the space. Yet the two floated next to each other. Then they were not.
Anderson POV
[Wake up, Anderson! Your nightmare is over.]
[Prepare for your appraisal...]
Hearing the voice even when unconscious caused him the wake violently. Seeing the would around he tried to move only to realize he could not move. He was just floating. However, before he could even register what was going on the Spell spoke again.
[Aspirant! Your trial is over.]
[A once tactical genius in under the rule of Beast god. To protect his sister he through away his bright future in the kingdom. He took her and ran. The Forest of Giants, a once beautiful forest. Ruined after the affects of a Sacred Beast and a Cursed Devil's clash. Yet the brother protected his sister even when the monsters around held advantages in every way. His brain thought hard. Even with no combat experience he was able to out maneuver a mountain hunter. Even with his sister not able to do anything he chanced both their lives to bring her. Trying his best he made it to the peak of the monstrous mountain. Yet it was not over, using all of the very few options he chose to sacrifice himself to protect her with no thought of surviving.]

[You have done what is thought was impossible]
[Final appraisal: glorious. Your dedication to protection knows no bounds]
"Its truly over. Thank the g..."
[Dreamer Anderson, receive your boon!]
[You have been bestowed a True Name: Chaos Conductor]
"A TRUE NAME" Anderson mouth fell agape "How did I... that shouldn't be possible!"
Yet the spell did not stop over his shock.
[Your Aspect is ready to evolve. Evolve Aspect?]
"Well, um, Yes?"
[Dormant Aspect Logical Planner is evolving...]
[New Aspect acquired.]
[Aspect Rank: Divine.]
"DIVINE!!!" Anderson would have fainted if he could, but the space he was in would not let that happen. He just floated. Mouth hanging open. Staring blankly at the Spell.
[Aspect Name: Architect]
Innate Aspect Ability: [Command Phase]
For the first time the Spell stopped.
Anderson floated. Not knowing what to do. The implications for all of this felt like a boulder weighing on him.
"Divine, Divine, Divine..." He kept repeating it over and over. Yet nothing changed. He alone had a divine aspect, and a True Name. He completely forgot to check his runes as his mind felt like it was going to shatter. However, before it could the Spell started again.
[The First Seal is broken.]
[Awakening dormant powers…]
In an instant, Anderson felt it. The warmth of something so unfamiliar, yet it felt like it always was their. The feeling was unpleasant at first, but it quickly faded. In its place the of the feeling there was a new energy within him. Slowly spreading out from his chest and into his limbs.
Every part of him felt it: organs, muscles, all the way to every strand of his hair. The energy spread for what felt like hours yet it only took a few seconds. His body did not fill like his.
He felt as if he could do anything, yet he could do nothing while floating in the mysterious place.
Then he the origin of the power. A star like shape seemed to rest in his chest before fading deeper into his body.
He revealed in the feeling for a long time before the spell started again.
[Awakening Aspect Ability…]
Anderson hearing this snaped out of his trance like state and focused. What the spell next announced would decide what his role would be in society even if he had a divine aspect.
[Aspect Ability acquired.]

Seeing this he finally opened his runes.

"Does it mean in the future I will have to make a kingdom to rule and have my plans be done there."
"No, that doesn't seem to be it. I must be something like making a plan and using my abilities to make it come true, right?" His question would go unanswered as the spell started again.
[All power has a price.]

[Your Flaw is: Sacrifice]
Seeing this Anderson panicked at the name of his flaw. Quickly he resummoned his runes going strait to his flaw.
