General Douglas was in the base camp when his ring started blinking. He twisted it slightly and a small hologram of King Gregory was displayed.
He immediately kneeled..
"..."
After a moment the King spoke.
"The war is over. Fall back now, treat the wounded and wait for me." Said the King
"I take it that the negotiation went well." Said the General.
"It did. The greed of men for power cannot be fathomed...for power they are willing to wage war and for it they are also willing to make peace." Said the King with a chuckle.
After the short exchange King Gregory walked back to his own camp. While walking some soldiers couldn't help but point a gun at him. They were all looking at him with apprehension. Fear was evident in their eyes for this man had the capabilities to kill them with ease and he was now walking amidst them. A couple of hours ago he was fighting like a monster but now he looks like an ordinary man. But the blood stains on his armor says otherwise.
"Stand down!"
. . . .
"I said stand down!" Said the Prince and only after being glared at did the soldier lowered his gun.
The King continued his walk.
---------------------------------------------------------
(Battlefield)
Gunshots and bombs continued to echo throughout the battlefield. Screams of despair and shouts of madness resounded everywhere.
It has been more than an hour, when the fighting started. Casualties on both sides continued to rise.
Suddenly all the soldiers received a command to retreat.
Seeing that everyone received the command they were all puzzled, the soldiers on both sides looked at each other. Some didn't want to retreat yet, they wanted to avenge their friends who died by the enemies hands.
After a couple of minutes the soldiers on each side warrily retreated, not turning their backs against their enemies.
.
.
.
.
When the two forces had retreated to their bases. The commander on each side delivered them news of the new development.
---------------------------------------------------------
(Borinian base camp)
General Dauglas was standing at a small stage looking at the tired and weakened soldiers.
The soldiers were wondering why they were suddenly recalled back. 'A temporary truce?' They all thought.
"Oh Brave Knights of the Kingdom, Marya Continent is ours! The King has secured our VICTORY! THIS WAR! WE HAVE WON!!!" General exclaimed with a raised fist.
When the General proclaimed this. All of them shouted with vigor! Long gone was their tiredness! Long gone was their fatigue! All that remains was exaltation and pure happiness.
"RRAARHGG" A Lion's roar reverberated throughout the land!
"LONG LIVE THE KING!!! LONG LIVE THE KINGDOM!!! LONG LIVE THE EMPIREEEEE!!!!" They all cheered!
---------------------------------------------------------
(Alliance Base camp)
Opposite of the cheering Borinians. The atmosphere and overall mood on the Alliance side was gloomy.
"Why?" They all asked.
Some were biting their lips in frustration.
They were about to win but everything went south all of a sudden. But the most frustrating thing for them was that…
Their fellow soldiers died in vain.
All that they received was a poor excuse that the Borin Kingdom and the Alliance found a common ground and had an agreement.
'They came to an agreement?' 'Bullshit!'
They all thought.
The soldier's family that died would only receive compensation. There would be no justice for their death. No honor.
Just like that the Alliance went packing and left the Marya Continent.
---------------------------------------------------------
(In the terrace of the Borin Kingdom)
Three months had already past since the war.
A man in his 50's and a man in his 30's was talking to each other. They were standing side by side gazing at the whole Kingdom.
"Your Father would've been very proud." said General Douglas.
"I know." Said the King.
The previews King had passed away two years before the war ended. He wasn't able to witness the beginning of a glorious era.
The General then took out a purple crystal the size of a fist.
"The mining of the Crystome is proceeding very well." Said the General as he looked at the crystal with a complex gaze.
This crystal was the reason the war ended before it reached its peak. Causing many lives to be saved. The crystal contained radiation so high that it was lethal to everything. No matter what method they use, they weren't able to extract it.
This crystal can be found in the deepest part of the world. Almost near the core. With their technology they are able to reach even the core but they cannot because of these crystals.
Even though it's lethal, it was still desired by every power in the world because of the power it holds. The only problem was they haven't had any clue on how to extract and study it at close hand.
The General then looked at the King with awe and respect.
Because of the King they were able to extract it. For some reason the radiation doesn't affect him. He was also able to absorb the radiation so it can be wielded by the common man.
When they gathered enough crystal they used that same material to create something strong enough to handle the raw crystal. You know what they said, only a diamond can cut a diamond.
They offered this technology to the other Kingdoms which they accepted gladly of course it came with a price.
"You are already 34 years old my King, is there any symptoms of deterioration?" Asked the General
"No, it hasn't manifested yet. I really think that the curse ended with Father." Said the King
The King had inherited the Valan physique which will show deterioration at the age of 20 and it will kill them at the age of 30.
But ever since his birthday at 20 years old. He never showed any signs of deterioration. That was why King Gregory II was on board when King Gregory III wanted to conquer all of Marya. In fact he was behind most of the schemes the current King did.
"Our prosperity starts now." Said the King. No! the Emperor. The first ruler of the Borin Empire. The very first…
Mutant
.
.
.
.
Many moon pasts and the Empire continued to rise and prosper.
Many more mutants started to appear across the world because of the Crystome. It slowly influenced the atmosphere causing mutation to all living things.
(Present)
Four main classifications of mutants had been established to categorize each mutant. The Projectors, Generators, Manifestors and Deflectors.
Projectors are also known as wizards. They can project their auras outside of their bodies in the form of an elemental attack. They can change the properties of their auras depending on what element they want to use. Most Projectors only have an affinity with one or two elements. There are also some who have an affinity with three but they are extremely rare. Don't even mention those who had more than three. They exist but they can all be counted with one hand. Their weakness is that they have high energy consumption. The more affinity an individual has the longer they are able to master it. Unless they focus on one element at a time.
Generators are those who generate their own energy and are able to convert it into physical prowess. They are known for their insane regeneration capabilities and their endurance. They have the most physical power and speed among the mutants. They are a walking mass of pure destruction. Able to crush tanks with their bare hands and jump 20 storeys high with just their leg power. Their only weakness is they are vulnerable to aura attacks. King Gregory Borin III was the very first Generator.
Manifestors are those who are able to manifest their auras and turn it into a weapon or an armor. Unlike Projectors, Manifestors don't have an elemental affinity. They can only shape it in anyways that they want. Their strength lies in their mobility. They can be an unstoppable swordsman who can reap thousands of lives in a battlefield. Or a silent assassin who lurks in the darkness. Or maybe even a walking fortress if their auras are plentiful and vigorous that it can be impenetrable! Their only weakness is that their attacks heavily relied on their physical prowess.
Deflectors are basically what their name implies, they can deflect any form of aura except from those of the Generators. They can negate every attack they recieve, aura wise. The moment that they are born they're already surrounded by a deflector aura. They are almost invulnerable. Their only weakness is that they are in every way, a normal human being. All aura users have enhanced human capabilities. While deflectors are just basically a normal human with deflector aura surrounding their bodies.
