"I feel as if my body is just floating, no movement... Nothing at all. Endless darkness that has held me for who know how long" All of these thoughts keep passing my mind and I just float unable to feel anything and move anywhere. At first days past then months to years, just in endless nothing, after years pass the only thing keeping me sane was my questions, where am I from, why cant I remember anything at all? After centuries pass finally able to remeber a vague evening where I was barely able to crawl up the all the way up the stairs just two figures that I feel a connection with. "They must be my father and mother" as I look at my mother and father entire thing changes as I watch both of them get taken from me right before my eyes! Because I was weak and unable to move I got to watch them die over and over always being unable to save them save them. Fury begins to burn in my heart brighter then it ever has before and I release a sharp cry of pain "WHY!" The endless darkness trembles lightly but with the exception of where I float. Many more years pass again as my will to become stronger has strengthen to an unprecedented level! Finally after watch my parents get abused and killed once more I realize that I was the first to get hit and I must be on the ground. "I must have been the first to fall then my parents but why do I remeber waking up in that weird place! First with the black cloak figures? Right! The shadow troops but if that the case I am still alive!" A shock pulses though my body as if I have just awakened something that has been broken before. Anger starts to fill my mind at a fighting rate, " I MUST LIVE! NO MATTER WHAT I MUST LIVE! I NEED TO KNOW FIND THOSE WHO KILLED MY PARENTS AND I WILL SLAUGHTER THEM! I WILL FIGHT TO BE THE STRONGEST AND NO ONE WILL STAND IN MY WAY!" As my anger intensifies my body starts to heat up to the point that I looked like a boiled lobster! I start to lose consciousness from my anger and a crack like sound echoes from the unknown. Even though it wasn't a very loud sound but for my ears it was earsplitting. As light starts to shine from the from the ceiling, hope fill my mind but suddenly I notice that the light is disappearing! Anger inspired strength erupts from within as I shout "BREAK DAMN IT!" The endless darkness starts to shake and finally more and more cracking sound start to erupt form all around me at as I hear a loud explosion go off in my mind.
* status unlocked *
As I snap my eyes open to see that I'm in someone's bedroom and I sit up to examine the surrounding and seem to notice that everything seem to be antique and flourished with gold lining from each and every line on the furniture. From the wall to the left I could see a big wooden door with steel beams interlocking to strengthen with a red glowing rune that seemed to look like a blazing fire. Couple boxes next to the door holding up seems to be a floating crystal that was emitting a peaceful white light."How long have I been asleep it must have been for weeks if not months, Is that a crystal? What the hell is it used for?" When I start moving to the edge of the bed to stand to get a closer look the door starts to burn a bright red color that is emitting from the rune! "What the hell?" as I yell in my mind, the door flys open at a speed that my eyes were unable to perceive. A tall figure completely cloaked in black stands at the entrance" Good your finally awake after 3 days of sleeping I was getting worried" sigh the black figure. As he walks into the light you see that he isn't wearing a hood any more and can see a bone white tiger mask that cover all of his face, even all of his hair is the same bone white as the mask. Right in the center of the forehead of the mast as a deep blood red 1 stood out. My mind freezes."How can this be?! Its only been three days! it felt like so much more" His voice spoke from behind the mask "Relax. I know you must have many questions but you have to first lesson to what I have to say first before asking any questions." Right as his deep and empowering voice landed on my ears my body instantly tensed and stood straight as if I was standing at attention for a general.
"Right! Now first thing I say is welcome and I can't tell you where we saved you, only that it is a forbidden zone. Also we are in the Dynasty Of Kong Choi. Next, I can't tell you the name of the sect because you are only a outer discipl... well not even that. All you need to know if that you are going to be working for the Training Arena. Also these are the only choices you have because I have captur.... SAVED your life, you have to repay me. You can buy back your life for 100,000 gold coins but dont worry those chains you were wearing three days ago already bound you to the contract so no way to escape besides paying your debt. Now you do have a chiose to choose between a sparring partner or a contractor. Big difference is one is paid from the one who contacts the Training Arena or one gets paid from the Training Arena With a ten percent fee, but gets a ten percent discount from the shop at the Training Arena. Now make your choice. Which one do you choose?" The masked man's voice echoed in the room as hundreds of thoughts pass my mind, but the main one that sound out "What can make me the strongest...Has to be the sparring partner! I dont have to look for my own contacts I'll let the Training Arena deal with it. I also get ten percent off, no matter how small a discount it's going to have an incredible impact later on! That and I need to make as much money as possible!" Right after this thought came to mind I looked right at the white masked figure. As I opened my mouth said two words "Sparring partner" the room temperature instantly fell. The bed fully covered in black ice crystal's that started to shine a deep shade of blackness that seemed to engulf everything. The white masked figure noticed the change right away and to steps to prepare and shouted!
"SPARROW OF FLAMES"
Summon a small fire sparrow that produce outstanding heat waves that fought back the cold and finally after a few seconds the ice disappears and the fire sparrow body slowly dissipates. A Hearty laughter that shakes the room explodes from behind the white tiger mask. "Good let's get a move on and dont talk until you learn to control your power otherwise your going to kill some weaker people. Ah yeah I'm Shadow one, ever need me, go talk to the manger at the Training Arena, I'll take you over there now."
When we make it out the door way all I can see is a stone hall way as if medieval castle, as I feel a hand tough my back then out of nowhere we reappear in the middle of the forest! Completely at a daze the until I feel a comfortable feeling arise all around my body and all of my surroundings start to blur as everything start to fly by me. When I look to the left I see the black cloak figure with the white tiger mask is flying next to me with deep red wings of flames on his back. After going thought the mountain terrain, seeing giant lakes shine with bright blue lights that were memorizing, to towering mountains that fog covered so much that I was unable to find the top. The sun has already reach its peak of the day when we start to see less and less of the trees and brush. Until we finally see a colossal tower that seem to piece all the way into the sky! "That tower has been here for tens of thousands of years, old legends say that the tower was from an ancient civilization that fought in the upper realms and the aftermath of their battle shattered the sky and that tower fell, scaring the earth for thousands of feet from the impact alone." Told Shaow one. "We are almost to the City of ZaZa. It's the closest outpost that the Kong Choi dynasty has to the tower."
"Wait who owns the tower then?" As I subconsciously spoke, as the surrounding area instantly freezes. Shadow voice sounds out next to me. "That is the Fiends territory. Terrible creatures that destroy everything that they come across, use all of the resources in a area then deserts it to look for more bountiful resources. The City of ZaZa is the first line if defensive against the fiends. You will learn more later, so no talking I'm going to speed up." Moments later my body start to shake as the pressure from the speed becomes more then what my body can take as everything flashes. "Open your eyes we have arrived" sounds in my ears moment later as I try to shake the nausea feeling in my gut. Slowly as I open my eyes I can see a massive iron fortress in the middle of a vally, with walls five hundred feet tall, that span from one cliff wall to the next! As we approach the main gate ahead I notice that wall has spikes protruding from the wall that are all unique in size to thickness as well. "What is that?" Question to my self as I clearly could see the enormous sign that some sort of eceptic writing that for some reason was easy to read!
●The City ZaZa●
Shadow one voice his knowledge, "Those words were carved by the City Lord when this city was first built, if you try to feel his will Inside those carving, you might just be able feel what he way trying to convey."
"What do you mean by will?" I eagerly asked. "You must try to feel the reason he carved those words and see if you can understand what he was trying to convey to later generations" Shadow one's calm voice sounded. Immediately once I look up at the sign and focus, everything around me stops as I close my eyes. I can feel the wind blowing over my body as I slowly loose conscious I see that I have become an unmovable mountain. The weather pounding down from all angles from wind to hail, and finally to lightning. As lightning flashes and strikes the mountain I instantly feel the prickling sensation of my skin. "I know the message the City Lord was sending."
Shadow one was watching the entire time and when I first closed my eyes Shadows pupils shrunk to the size of a needle.
"kekeke What a surprise to find a lone Shadow trooper all alone keke." Spoke a high pitch voice of unknown origin. Shadow one looked over twenty feet to the left of the gate as he lazy spoke. "Chung-Ho of the Righteous Sect, what do you want." A figure starts to approach from where Shadow one has looked to. "I have nothing I want from SCUM like you! What are you even doing in this town anyway?"
"Sense when do I have to tell you what I'm doing." As a small laugh escapes from under Shadow ones mask, "Don't worry though, I'm not here to make a mess just dropping off this kid at the Training Arena, that's it."
"HAHA just so happens I have a kid to take there as well." Chung-Ho reaches behind himself to grab young girl around the age of fifteen, with pitch black silky hair, with a scarlett dress that reached all the way to her ankles. Most notably would have to be her eyes, as they sparkle with the look of the galaxy. Chung-Ho with a look of pride introduces "This is A-chan Yuri the daughter of a elder from the Yuri Clan." Shadow One body tensed when he heard the Yuri Clan. Then softly spoke "The Yuri Clan is close to the strongest clan under the Kong Choi why would she be sent here"
I awaken from experiencing being a mountain tormented by the harshness of the weather to only see the positive effect of hardening my skin! I Clench my hand into a fist and feel the strengthen pulsing from within and I can visible tell the difference! "I must be twice as strong as before, I understand the City Lord, he wanted to stand strong for all of time! To protect us from dangers outside the borders and to withstand anything!" once I finish assessing my gains I noticed that everything around me seems to become much more clear as well as if a film can been taken off and everything is brighter but then I see Shadow one off to the side talking with some man with crazy blonde hair that is just all over the place with a bright yellow cloak seem to embrace peaceful energy. I start to approach Shadow one I notice a girl with pitch black silky hair, with a scarlett dress that reached all the way to her ankles with a red lily in her hair. I realise I interrupt the conversation just by walking over. Shadow one grab onto my shoulder as he runs away complaining. "I have somewhere to be so excused me for running off..." after some distance was made Shadow one softly spoke "Where did he find her...What ever, let's go to the Training Arena."
