A Dark red portal opens outside the window seal sucking up the feather. shin wakes up as he is being pulled into it. Shin wakes up trying not to be pulled in he grabs his window seal. but gets pulled in anyway.as he gets pulled in a voice echoes throughout the entire world.
"Humans who drown in power, and those who call themselves kings. prove yourself worthy. the stage of the gods has been set. dance so that the end may bring us joy." This voice stops as monsters appear throughout the world.
[In zuwei the home of the beastmen] Hawk stands in the darkness laughing. "Girl you are better than i thought, maybe with this you can help my old friends protege." suddenly hawk grabs her. He jumps back towards the shadows, and tosses her into a pit of beasts.
he waves at her as she screams out. "You bastard I'll kill you I swear it!!!!!"
[To shin in the portal]
Shin awakens to giant tremors rocking him back and forth. he jumps up looking around that's when a hand reaches from the darkness. the hand grabs shin as he turns to face the being who grabbed him his eyes shake. a skeleton shambles out from the dark. suddenly a huge amount of red eyes appear in the darkness around him.
"What the fuck..." Shin falls on his rear scooting against the wall. he looks around for his weapon which is nowhere to be found. he spots a sword inside a skeleton to his right. he grabs it then holds his sword out towsrds the skeleton closest.sweat dripping down his forehead. when his masters words ring in his head.
"Shin always remember no matter who or what you fight every enemy is the same. it's kill or be killed."
Shin grits his teeth and charges at the horde of skeletons. suddenly the sword in his hand warps and dissipates.
[???] no no it won't due to let you use a weapon]
a finger snap can be heard as a silhouette sits in a hole near the ceiling.
[???] welcome young one to the stage. will you survive? will you die? will you become someone who can beat the odds? we so look forward to your battle against fate.
shin screams as the skeletons enclose on him. his aura blinks and shifts as the person walking away gets shivers down their spine.
[???] What could give me such a horrendous feeling? is it that boy? no no it must be this awful human air.
they dissappear into nothingness. back to shin. he grabs a skeleton turning its head into dust as he goes to grab the next he is stabbed by a skeletons sword. it clacks its teeth. *clack clack clack* shin scowls at the skeleton. it's like it's mocking him.
the skeletons converge into one. the clacking continues. as it lifts up its giant sword. shin sheds tears as he looks up.
"So after all my suffering. I go out in someone's stupid game? I refuse to let this be the end. I promise you all I will end you those stupid nobles ideals, the reign of gods. I will end the Demons who took the only man I could call father. I will fight this fate." suddenly a heartbeat rings out causing shin to vomit blood.
"Ugh what was that?"
it hits again as shin holds his chest. "Is that my heartbeat?"
the skeleton clatters but this time a voice echoes with it. "Are you worthy to change the fate of yourself and others? prove it with your resolve!!! it swings down its weapon shin jumps out of the way. the Shockwave flings him into a wall.
Shin coughs up more blood hid aura constantly pulsing the pulsing in his heart gets wilder as his aura starts changing colors.
The skeleton draws near lifting its blade. the voice echoes again. "So this is the extent of your will? this is your power? the deaths that have accumulated due to the sins of gods and Demons. their never ending war of superiority. looks like we wait for another with the power to change fate. goodbye fateless one."
it swings down its blade but time stops shin looks up his aura shifts again a new voice appears. "Shin fight back. shin I taught you better didn't i?" Shin instantly rises to his feet in a second spinning and breaking the blade against the wall. his hair extends changing to white.
"Fight shin, fight this fate, fight this world."
shin raises his head up to the skeleton as it clatters out. "What is this power?" it swings the broken sword but it's caught by shin.
he looks up at the skeleton. "You know I am tired of being bullied by others. I'm tired of serving. I'm tired of my fate. I will change it I will succeed. for my master for the only man who believed in me."
Shin raises his hand and a blade appears it has a lion engraved across its hilt. it is pure black with a red edge. "this is your end."
shin swings the sword causing a wave of aura to shoot out sharp and red it slices the skeleton in half. shin falls to the ground. his aura changes back his hair returns to normal.
The skeleton evaporates into dust. a feather falls to the ground by shins sleeping face. following where it came from the top of the cave where the exit is. "Ah so you passed the first trial dont worry there will be more...much more." The woman Flys away
"until them I hope you grow strong."
