There it stood, a perfect sphere of Darkness. Over the time people began to realize the changes of the Dark continent, thus new explorations were made and the world saw a major boost in strength. Many came out with with wealth beyond the gaze of money as they had found a proper inheritance aligning with their Blessing, this would boost their standing throughout the known world.
However this was not the greatest discovery, no. When the first explorer to see the Dark orb reported it once again people rushed to the Dark continent in hopes of finding it's secrets.
"Everyone get back, The Order of Ra shall be handling the investigation from here" announced a thin man with glasses as he and several other men in head dresses appeared with a number of tools being drawn in by carriage.
"Fuck your order of Ra, first come first serve so get in line pencil neck" shouted a hostile looking person missing an eye with the other assembled people shouting their agreement.
"Oh? Then allow me to shorten the line" stated the man in glasses as those powerful looking men behind him struck killing a few of the ones who had spoken out.
"Your Order of Ra is getting quite cocky isn't it, Leo" came the calm voice from behind revealing a man in shockingly fit condition.
"Shit, who invited you Lightning bastards" cursed Leo as he saw the emblem displaying a mighty hand wielding a lightning bolt.
"Why wouldn't the Children of Zeus appear, this is something too big for you to try and hold yourself. It is best if you fall back" stated the large man.
However the talks ended when that Large man drew his eyes to the odd occurrence before him as blood and silhouettes rushed to the orb causing it to begin to crack drawing the other's attention.
"Excellent, this a sign from the heavens that we are meant to take this treasure for ourselves" laughed Leo causing the large man to shake his head.
However as the orb burst forth it's remnants seemed to get sucked into it's center causing everyone to look inside only to find a youth had appeared from it's depths. A boy of 14, his hair blacker than the night sky and his skin flawless and pale. Everyone stared at the child wondering what had happened.
"You dare to steal from my Order" demanded Leo as he gestured for the men to apprehend the boy but that would prove to be a mistake.
The boy didn't say anything just looking around curiously as he took a strike that didn't even seem to move him he reached his hand up quietly and tore the limb from his attacker with ease but never once did he speak. Leo and the rest froze at the sight, such casual cruelty was something that was hard to find in this world. There may be those who would do worse but they would at least carry some type of expression as they spread carnage but this boy did it as if it was normal.
The boy looked around curiously, he had just awoken and though he may contain knowledge from those victims of the Dark continent it didn't go further than battle and techniques. It was at this moment he saw something shiny on the arm he had ripped from the man who was now screaming while trying to stop the bleeding.
'Pretty' thought the youth as he took the ring and stared at it before sitting down as if mesmerized by the object.
This was an odd sight to all as the youth ignored them all and stared at the ring in wonder.
"With the way he's staring at it you would think he had never seen a ring before" commented a woman to the side with a sneer causing the youth to look at her before tendrils or darkness grabbed her and brought her to him.
He looked at the ring and then at the woman before holding it up.
"Ring?" asked the youth causing those around to actually drop their jaws.
The woman however couldn't believe she had hit the nail on the head as she sweat nervously.
"Yes... ring" answered the woman causing the youth to stare at the little band even harder.
It seemed he liked the ring, then out of the corner of his eye he saw something else that had caused a glimmer in the light. To the left Leo's glasses had caused a glare causing the youth to turn his eyes to him before he looked at the woman and pointed.
"W-what" asked the woman until the same glare hit her in the eyes.
"O-oh.... do you mean glasses" asked the woman causing the youth to stare at her as he stood up and walked over to Leo who took a step backwards.
Meanwhile the assembled people were beginning to scheme, it was clear the youth was powerful but from his simple amusement of these everyday items it could be seen he was clueless about the world and easily captivated.
"Glasses" came the blank voice as the youth looked at the glasses oddly before trying them on only to throw them away angrily, his eyes unable to adjust to the prescription.
He glared at the offending spectacles before black flames burned them to ash causing the large man to look in interest.
"Interesting" remarked the Large man as he decided he would take the lead and pulled out a simple crystal.
He sat before the youth causing the youth to follow the action as he was offered the crystal, in wonder as it sparkled marvelously bringing a smile to the face of this boy.
He looked at the woman who was still being carried by the tendrils, by now she knew what was gonna be asked.
"It's a crystal child" answered the large man causing the youth to look at him.
"Crystal" asked the youth holding up the simple gem as if to confirm.
The large man nodded, however the next scene caused those gathered to gasp in shock as the woman was squeezed to death her use was no longer relevant to the youth. The large man also was a bit surprised by this but didn't let it show outwardly as he held up more shiny objects of a basic nature.
"Come with me and you can keep these" offered the man.
"Keep" asked the youth.
"They will be yours" answered the man seeming to understand the full scope of the situation.
The youth smiled as if he had found the greatest treasure and took the items and cooed over them with bright eyes causing those gathered to realize the way to this child's heart and they made their bids.
The youth looked at all the glimmering objects and his eyes lit up in excitement, each of these people promising more of such items some of which were of great rarity but to this youth the value was all the same. Smiling brightly the youth's tendrils snatched the items and pulled them into their shadowy depths as a dagger appeared in his hand that was cold to the touch.
This he knew, he was knowledgeable about weapons as this was part of his basic understanding. He played with it causing little glimmers of frost to sparkle in the sun bringing a great smile to his face.
"Ha, looks like he chose me" laughed one man as he stepped forward his blue hair hanging wildly about him.
The large man shook his head at this fool as he pulled out another sparkly simple item which reflected more light than the frost from the dagger causing said weapon to be dropped into the boys shadow and swallowed up. Grabbing up the odd object that seemed to a glittered ball the youth's attention was back on the Large man.
"Wait, what the hell. Your gonna choose this guy over a stupid toy, damn it brat. Return my dagger" complained the man as the youth turned a dangerous look to this person.
"Keep" stated the youth narrowing his eyes.
"The hell you will" started the man until he found his center feeling empty.
"Keep" stated the youth again as the man fell lifelessly to the ground.
Those gathered saw this and felt a bit of intimidation, the youth was too decisive and hard to read. Thus they decided it would be best to forget this matter and report it their higher ups in hopes they would be able to get credit for finding someone so special.
The large man seemed to read their thoughts and he decided to test a little something.
"You know" started the large man causing the youth to cast his gaze towards him as he held the glittery ball close to him with an edge to his gaze.
"They probably have more" stated the man pointing at the ball.
"More" asked the youth
"In fact they are certain to have more" chuckled the large man while the surrounding people heard this and felt a chill.
"More" stated the youth as he looked around at the people gathered and his eyes showed greed.
"They are also yours" stated the man seeing if this would instigate the youth.
"Mine" grunted the youth as his aura seemed to spike as a barrage of different elements colored by darkness rang out in an onslaught causing the Large man to lose his smile and widen his eyes.
'Too unique' thought the man as he heard cries of agony before shadows were ripped from the people being sunk into the boy's own.
The boy looked about and didn't see any of the shiny things he was promised causing a angry gaze to be cast towards the large man who felt himself become chilled just like the rest.
"Wait" started the Large man as he stood quickly, he wasn't like these weakling who had hoped to strike it big quick, he had already begun to make a name for himself with his power so he wasn't quite as intimidated.
Picking up a few odd bands and items he channeled his inner energy causing their contents to be revealed making the youth light up in amazement.
"See" asked the man confidently as the youth had lost that edge in his eyes as he picked up different odds and ends before the whole pile was dropped into his shadow which was something the man was curious about.
The youth then did as this Large man had and looked for the different things unsure of what could hold such things even clothes and armor were taken as he was didn't know about spatial items.
'I think this kid got the biggest haul out of this trip.... at least I get a couple of Spatial items I can sell' thought the man as he saw the shadows swallow up the items until the youth stood before him staring at the Spatial bands and necklaces he was holding with want.
"You want these too..." asked the Large man looking at the boy's face that looked pitiful as he gazed at the items.
"Take them" sighed the man tossing them to the boy who beamed.
'The master should reward me at least' thought the man trying to placate himself.
"Everyone it's time to return" shouted the large man as he looked at the youth who was following behind him playing with the ring biting it and such to try and get it to work.
"Child, I am Darwin." stated the man pointing at himself.
"Darwin?" asked the youth looking at the man curiously though his gaze kept being drawn to the rings in his hand.
'This kid' thought Darwin as he fought the urge to face fault.
"Come now, we are going to a place with lots of rings" urged Darwin causing the youth to look at him brightly.
"Ring" shouted the youth as he stepped to Darwin's side
'So simple' thought Darwin with a shake of his head.
