Since the sacrifice of the blue sage, people in the old globe never had wars or political conflicts in region one, they all followed the rules set centuries ago, and never questioned the boundaries of the leveling system nor the walls that separate their districts.

They were too focused on ascending to the point where they neglected all the resources on Delwias Island.
However, after the death of Rivok and Chris ' speech that followed it, the majority were convinced of the new idea about them being the chosen ones from higher regions.
After starting out as an idea, it became a rumor within the district, which became a war principle people believed in.
Chris didn't speak to the people again after the funeral ceremony, he gave them time to think about the idea.
He was not worried about the impact he left on them, he was sure that he got what he wanted, but taking care to achieve the ultimate approval required him to be calm and careful.
And instead of giving spied on people from district two of a sudden hit, a few of his companions them instead.
While he was so busy making a detailed plan, an actual plan for what follows that.
To him, there was no chance to leave them without a fight, and instead of trying to find ways to convince them he started to study their magic spells and techniques, their strong points, their weaknesses, and the construction of their society in the district two .
Chris was never in a position to order anyone, he was the son of his dad's mistress, he faced poverty and injustice since he was a little kid, his mom died when he was a little kid and his father never acknowledged him for being his, he had older and younger step brothers and sisters who leveled up while he stayed in region one forced to live there his entire life.
His father died a few years ago, just right when his last kid leveled up and he was left all alone.
His wife was much stronger than him and she chose to stay with him in district one because she was so in love with him.
Chris hated the fact that he had such a beautiful family, when he was raised all by himself when he lost his mother.
He followed him for years without even having any courage to meet or talk to him, he had to stay away from him like his mother said.
Chris found that very difficult, but for his chance to live peacefully he did it anyway, until the day he tried to level up .
When he was 16, he had confidence in himself especially when he witnessed for years his step brothers and sisters level up without a problem.
He didn't know that he didn't have the same powers as them, he was more like his loser father, that revelation hit him hard.
That is why, the next thing he did after that was to meet him for the first time and tell him about who he was .
His father gave him a disgusting look that was still engraved in his memory when he said:" You are the son of that bitch, huh …i see"
Chris was still a kid who had a buried desire inside of him for years to meet the father that his mom fell in love with, but at that moment everything was crushed under the words he said to him.
" I think you might be mistaken, the woman i mentioned now is Laura the one who loved you so much for years, since you both were kids" Chris added with a smile .
" Laura, i know exactly who you are talking about, that bitch told me that she got rid of you, i saw her cast the spell myself"
At that moment Chris knew exactly that his father was not mistaken, he was talking about his dear mother in that way, so he did not bother to ask him to explain anything to him, he didn't want to even give him another chance to speak his nonsense .
And for the next few years he set a new goal, he knew that he had low powers, the kind of power that would keep him stuck on Delwias Island for the rest of his life.
In the next few weeks, he exposed his father to his wife, which destroyed a 25-year marriage without a single drop of regret for what he had said.
He watched him lose the respect of his kids, the love of his wife, and the life he built all these past years.
He loved and enjoyed seeing him lose everything, and that is why when he died years after that Chris felt like he lost the purpose of his life, he was already in his forties, with no magnificent powers, a family, or a state in the society.
He was just another person spending these few years walking towards his grave, he was depressed most of the time, and the look of Emperium upon him was like a nightmare to his unfulfilled dreams.
His greatest feeling of aliveness came when everything went down.
He looked at people's scared faces with a satisfying look, their tears were fuel for him to continue living, and their doubts and fears were like ringing bells in his ears, Chris treasured the chaos following the evacuation and had someone to share it with made it even better.
It was then that he developed a special affinity for Rivok, and he even considered him a partner in his new plan to benefit from the chaos.
He read books, and spent a lot of time with Rivok on building the most realistic story to keep the strings of hope, just the sufficient amount to control the masses and after a few weeks, they started to grow in popularity…
All of a sudden, these two low-ranking mages were no longer low-ranking weak people; they became the hope for this place in need.
