Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - The Voice

He didn't wanna cause harm he just didn't wanna get hurt he didn't understand anything at all but he suddenly heard a voice in his head. "It's okay child it was only natural for people to act this way when you wield my magic. Run away into the woods and you'll be safe from the people trying to harm you."

He didn't understand why he was hearing a voice in his head but he had to run away anyways so he decided to run away into the woods following what the voice had said. He ran for as long as his legs could, afraid he would hurt people or he would get hurt by people. He was scared and confused, he didn't understand what happened. He was living happily in the village with his family but suddenly they attacked him and he... killed his own parents.

He started to cry thinking about his parents that were now dead because of what he did. The little boy proceeded to cry till it was night and he fell asleep from exhaustion. When he woke up he still felt horrible but needed to know why he was attacked so he asked the voice in his head.

'Why was I attacked... I don't understand why my own mother would attack me, please... please tell me why this is happening to me!'

He could hear the voice in his head chuckle a little with a depressed sounding sigh at the end of his slight laugh, 'Child this is the fate of every person who has a talent for my magic. They will live a life of always hiding from society afraid of being hunted down because of the magic you have. You cannot hide it once it awakens as it is always with you. You must always live in secret from humanity.'

'No... please I want to see my friends again! I want to see the villagers and be accepted again... I don't want to be lonely...' The child curled up into a ball crying from the fate that he was cursed to have.

'I am sorry child. I cannot help you with this, I am not capable of doing anything. I will be with you here through your life so you will at least have me to talk to.' The voice tried to cheer up the child feeling sorry that a little child like this is fated to live the worst life there is to live.

"No... No... PLEASE LET ME SEE MY FRIENDS AGAIN! IM BEGGING YOU" The child shouted as loud as he could in the forest releasing a deadly aura, if any living were to come into contact it would instantly kill them.

A steady flow of tears fell down his face as he remembered the beginning of his horrible life that was all due to this cursed shadow magic. He didn't want to believe that he would live the same way he would before but he couldn't even bring himself to look at the fairy as he was scared to see the reaction of the first person who was nice to him since he could remember.

The fairy was confused beyond Augustus beginning confusion seeing his reaction to his talents that he had gotten. She didn't know what to do or what to say and was simply just frozen.

The fairy finally had the courage to comfort him since she felt bad for this human, "Although I don't know why you are crying human I can tell you that if it is related to your magic and talents you don't need to worry, SSS is the highest rating you can get so there is no reason to cry!" The only reason that she could come up with is that he thought SSS was the worst, it sounded stupid but stupid people weren't the uncommon.

Augustus was waiting for the tiny fairy to yell at him and leave him alone in this dark abyss again but when he heard confusion from her voice and realized that she wasn't mad and scared he had instant relief but was still scared to tell her. What if she realized what it was and then left? He was scared but that wouldn't get him anywhere so he just decided to get on with it. He lived for a long time he no longer should act like this, he should be used to the wretched curse.

"Shadow Magic is a taboo magic from the world that I am from and people are killed if people find out they have it. Every single person without fail will chase you down to kill you even if they are your own parents." Augustus explained solemnly looking extremely different from what he had looked like before. He has a face that had no emotion at all and if you were to stare into his eyes you would be able to find an even darker abyss than what they were standing in right now.

The fairy was shocked when she learned this as he was a human and the world that he should have come from should have had no magic at all. She no longer believed that this human was joking around from the look on his face but she had a job to due and it wasn't supposed to take this long to escort a single human no matter how interesting or unique they were to the world of Emor.

"You do not have to be afraid human, in the world you are going to now Shadow Magic is not taboo but it is instead an extremely rare magic that almost nobody has, they are revered throughout the world as masters of magic and are very powerful. With your talents there is certainly a Unique or above class suited for you! Now lets see what class is suitable for your talents!"

Augustus didn't expect this at all. His curse turned into a blessing in an instant but he still had fear of many other things that would occur now that he has this magic but maybe it wont be that bad. Maybe he can finally enjoy his life.

Suddenly the status screen changed from his talents to show the classes that were available for him and when he saw what was there he was surprised.

[Classes Available -

[Unique] Hunter - 75% Match

[Rare] Mage - 90% Match

[Epic] Shadow Mage - 95% Match

[Legendary] Shadow Swordsman - 99% Match

[&#%(^$] Shadow Hunter - 100% Match *The system recommends you to pick this class*]

The fairy was having a blast with this human, she was getting to see so many things that she never has seen before and probably will never get the chance to see again. A 100% match basically means that class is meant for you and you will be the person who will be on top of every other person who has that class. Even having a 90% is as rare as getting a SSS talent. Just who is this person really?

Augustus was in shock to see his own title as a class. He was only called the Shadow Hunter as it was impossible to see him and impossible to escape him once you were marked as a target. He never expected that he would get a class that was basically him.

"I guess I will pick the Shadow Hunter class..." Augustus said still taking in everything about his current situation. He still was clueless and had so many questions but he felt better than he previously did.

"Alright human, I guess this is where we say goodbye, thank you for showing me so many things that I never believed were possible and never knew about. I know you'll rule the world!" The little fairy said as Augustus slowly started to disappear.

But just as he was about to disappear fully he heard the fairy say something that made even him, who had lived centuries, afraid and confused.
