I wonder who said entertainment by life is a manipulative thing to do. I always questioned which god contrasted me on that paying with their life. I always give those who play my game a chance but this time my precious toy that was turning into a pawn got ripped from my grasp.
I am an ancient old one who helped create the cosmos and am the last of my siblings left. They still tried to steal my pawn but what dissatisfied me was I couldn't find them. He was hidden from my sight by magic as old as father who died millions of millennium ago.
I was the one who chopped off his head to spare him from the boredom he felt but now I feel like that and the one pawn that is exceptional might be killed by those imbeciles for they know nothing on how to take care of a soul. I will kill that damn witch Goddess of Reincarnation.
-Kylog's PoV-
It took me a couple weeks to get across the ocean which was still infested with Mythical creatures due to the fact they breed with regular animals. I can't help but remember the time Devak pushed me out of a trap getting his arm almost completely chopped off.
I remember the time Cruxio saved me from being crushed during a dungeon run right before we lost Devak. A couple weeks before we separated we cleared so many different dungeons together I still wish we had all hung out more but both of them couldn't handle the reminder of his death.
I can't be a hypocrite because I couldn't handle it either. I wish I hadn't kid around with Devak so much but now I might get another chance. I woke up in the car when Gevak shook me awake saying "Dad why are we visiting uncle Cruxio does it have something to do with Aunt Yumina?" I just patted his head sighing.
I got up from the car and opened his door in front of the academy Cruxio created. It had a metal gate made of enchanted black iron. The school was made of a wood from a S-grade dungeon forest that enhanced mana cultivation for mages that joined his academy. The academy's name was Shadow Seeker due to it's main focus of stealth and intelligence classes.
The few windows on the academy were barred Incase of a attack due to the increase of terrorists over the years with powers. The government had been re-established after a couple years of his death. The government had projects helping people control their powers and also a military program focusing on "Leveling up".
The government's many times tried to implant spies into the academies that had been created but they were quickly rooted out and politely told to "Fuck Off". The government had created a method to check your Status by your consent unless you were a criminal of course. I remember them trying to check my disciples power but he refused they tried to force him but I quickly intervened politely breaking his arm after he kept "Insisting" to check his strength.
I saw Cruxio rush out to my disciples and then quickly slow down when he realized he wasn't Devak. I said "Here is my disciples Gevak." I watched him wave and say "Come on let's meet with Majora which is a blood core moon apparently."
I immediately Sayed confused "Who is Majora?"
He said "Majora is the person we saw mourning Devaks death apparently he was created by him. They evolved into something called The Core of Sorrow."
I follow him quietly wanting to see this Majora person and I tell Gevak "Please wait in the vehicle my son."
He pouted but still went to the vehicle sat down and got out his phone. I went inside the academy's hardened Oak doors reinforced with enchanted steel. I then saw the great hall with Steel knights enchanted to protect the school if under attack. The hall decked with paintings filled with magic of all kinds and the rug enchanted to cause the enemy to slip, get stuck, or to stab their feet.
I was dumbfounded how protected this place was and he lead me to a door with 6 different keys needed and one passcode. Cruxio has gotten more paranoid since I left hasn't he. I feel guilty that I didn't stay to help my friend handle his emotions.
As he enters the doors it stabs him and checks his blood then he motions for me to do the same. I feel no pain from the needle. I then enter the room after him seeing something filled with mana purely dark blue with a refined gentle man sitting with his legs crossed in a suit that mostly shades of black and white.
He combed his dark blue hair back with his empty dark blue eyes showing constant suffering when they light up and a small bit of yellow swirls in his pupil before disappearing. He reaches out his hand and says "Devak is alive I can feel it but he is being held captive and I can't reach him. Wanna help me save him?"
