Deep in the heart of the Den Kingdom, a place often referred too as the " Malevolent Forest " resides.
This is a place where even the most powerful Demonic-FAE avoid, this forest holding all sorts of monsters, beasts, and even some lower leveled Demi-God beasts, all ranging from level 10 - 220 !
This forest held a great many challenges, tons of natural treasures, and had an abundant mana atmosphere, which in turn, furthered Vector's mana progression.
If one checked in on the forest's location now, they would be shocked at the scene current playing on the eastern outskirt.
One lone figure, with nothing but his bare hands, was surrounded on all sides, in a circular type of permitter, wolfs of all kind snarling, spewing out flames, and constantly trying to scare away this figure.
The canon fodder of these wolfs, all ranged around 55 - 65, and this was no small feat, for a wolf pack.
The alpha and current pack leader, was approximately level 89 , with his two beta wolfs besides him, both at the respectable level of 70.
Yet, this figure in the forest did not seem fazed at all, almost like this has happened before, rather it was routine, and the lone man didn't seem fazed, rather amused…
- - -
The lone FAE, standing dead center in the encirclement of wolves, had no shirt, no shoes, and only a thin layer of pants attached, that constantly glistened while moving about, almost as they were made out of … well, Ice.
Indeed, this figure's only clothing was from his natural mana, yet this Ice did not seem normal whatsoever , for it held a different color than the past blue, and even a unprecedented color in recorded ice affinity's, all through the FAE continent.
This ice was a blueish green, a deep rich teal, with various black zigzag streaks running all throughout. Almost, like the ice itself was filled with death and corruption. Yet it seemed so elegant, classy, chaotic, and most of all, controlled.

- FlameWolf Alpha #*^{+\|]*, Territory King -
( AN : his name is like that due to bestial language, just for you guys, I'll translate the beast language… hehe, sorry for the lack of chapters as well , dropping regularly again, <3 youuuuu ! )
" Alpha, this fae creature is not moving, nor showing signs of attacking, nor retreating, and has not moved once. Even while being pressed, intimidated, and barked at. He's only been staring over at this direction, with a huge maniac smile … he is quite different than the rest of them " ( Beta Wolf 1 )
" Indeed , Indeed , he smells like many beasts, he's been fighting in this forest for a long time, at least 6 months from my sense of smell " ( Beta Wolf 2 )
" Oh … I knoww who he is, hahaha. To think he would come and seek me out as well. " Muttered the FlameWolf Alpha
" Who is he sire? Also should I tell the pack to stand down? They are looking like they can not hold restraint anymore. " ( Beta Wolf 1 )
" No need, I'll command them myself… and to your question, he's the FAE those fellow beasts have been murmuring and gossiping about. He has traveled through all the outskirts territories, fighting beasts, collecting knowledge, and growing in strength."
" So he's an enemy, Alpha? " ( Beta Wolf 2 )
" Not exactly, he has never out right killed a beast, without them trying to do so first, and he has shown respect to all kings and queens. Even going so far to be tutored by some, training and learning various skills. "
" He has apparently unlocked three affinities now, yet no one knows what his third is. Presumably a powerful one, maybe chaos? Hmm we shall see. " The Alpha said in an intrigued manner.
" Pack stand down , let this human through , I will meet with him, leave us. Only the beta's may stay. My offspring, Clan Luna, my wife guide them away."
" Husband … but "
" I didn't ask , nor recommend, move now " Snapped the Fire Wolf Alpha.
" Yes alpha " Replied the pack and the pack Luna, who was the alphas wife, as they slowly made their way back to the flaming volcanic den.
Vector having witnessed this scene couldn't help but grin even more than he was before, as well as letting out a few chuckles… Why? Because he's one of the only other FAE in the world, who can fully understand the bestial language now, fluently as well, and these wolves don't seem to know it yet.
- - -
- Vector -
" I didn't ask , move "
" Yes alpha "
Vector seeing this scene play out, could only laugh his ass off.
" HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH " Vector laughed hysterically
To any other being , this interaction would've sounded like a bunch of barks, snarls, and sudden hand movements.
For most FAE, well that's incorrect, for most races in this world, they all happen to believe beasts to be highly unintelligent, and if they are intelligent, they pay no mind to it.
Vector, having been living fully immersed in the forest way of life, constantly fighting for his life, a little more than 6 months now, knew quite differently, and how ignorant those other races were.
He first fought low leveled beasts, only out right killing them, if they tried to kill him first, then eventually, he met a "King", after that, a Queen, who both found him interesting.
Therefore, they both started to teach the young FAE skills, runes, and words of the beast language.
Vector could learn some bestial skills, better mana control, spell cast speed, and even going so far to helping him unlock another affinity!!
He kept going on like this, meeting another king, and another queen, and another… and another, eventually meeting 48 Rulers in total.
Making his way all around the outskirts, slowly pushing deeper and deeper into the forrest, as a result, the threats increased… quite significantly, but better risk… better reward.
So Vector, being the now insanely crazy battle maniac he was, dived in, only in hopes of growing as strong as possible in this short amount of time.
- - -
The first few months for Vector, was truly difficult. He was on the edge of death many times, too many to count, and yet, he grew much stronger because of it.
So much so, that when he would leave this place, he would establish control in his territory, heal his mother, and then attend the Royal tournament.
He currently has other concerns at the moment though.
- - -
" Alpha, he keeps laughing , this FAE is crazy "
( Beta Wolf 1 )
" Aye beta dog, I'm not crazy, now shut up and let me talk to your king. " Replied Vector, stunning the three wolves present, all shaken up, that this lunatic of a FAE, could actually understand them, and just spoke in the beast language to them!
If anyone heard what came out of Vector's mouth just now, they would've only only heard :
* WAF *
* WAH , BAH *
* ETHIOSJSJ *
- - -
However, indeed Vector had learnt this language!
How? He started deducing words while living among beasts, quickly picking up on common patterns while living in the forest, and with his titles granting him a overall boost of extra learning efficacy… it only took time.
In 6 months time, he fully learned how to speak, going from ruler to ruler, fighting them, and then asking to learn their fighting styles, language, and overall way of life.
Which shocked all beast rulers currently present in the forest, especially since no FAE has been crazy enough to do so, expect one man in the past …
The only living Demi-God FAE on the continent..
- - -
This forest training period, has been nothing but transformational for Vector, but his time was coming to an end, and so it was time to travel once more.
He would travel across the various forest's territory's, eventually reaching the Acheron Kingdom, and eventually make his way back home.
' Home … it has a bitter taste on my tongue, was it ever my home? … hmmmmpfh, I'll establish control in my territory, find the old man, teleport mom to fix her legs, and shock the whole world … heheh ! '
Vector inwardly smiled at his own plans.
- - -
- FlameWolf Alpha #*^{+\|]*, Territory King -
" Human, you know the language? Then why didn't you say so earlier, would've made things much easier … sigh * "
" Hahah , I wanted to see your reaction, and you showed me that other FAE do indeed know this language, albeit it's rare, but nevertheless some do, based of your reaction of surprise, but not shock."
" So this has blossomed even more questions in my head, questions I don't have the answers to, although I assume my Father knows the answers as well. " Vector grimaced
" Father? Who? "
" Hmm… my father? He's Zelarian Zenith "
" HUGHHH??? "
" WHATHRHRHH?!! "
" He's knows old man Zel?!!! "
The three wolfs, including the Alpha, were all visibly in dismay, yet Vector had no idea why, and he intended to find out.
" How do you know him? "
" Come human, I will take you someplace " The alpha said, while slowly walking to a certain location, and Vector trailing behind.
" Leave us Betas , go to the pack. Tell him he is friend, not foe. " the alpha commanded
" Yes Alpha " Replied them Both, before scurrying off to the Den
" So? Want to explain .. ? "
" Well, I'll tell you a story of a young FAE prince first, this will give you what you need, cease your needless thoughts, and it will answer your questions. " The alpha calmly replied.
- - -
( 55 Minutes After )
" Wow , so the old man, basically traveled through all the forests, fought all the kings and queens, then befriended them all. "
" Then after that, another powerful group of shadow FAE started hunting beasts in general, my father finding out, wiped out the whole lineage of the hunters, and you were there as a cub, as your father was king during that time….wow. " Vector said with shock, surprise, and a slight bit of respect in his voice.
' Maybe the old man isn't so bad? Hmm, we shall see , when I tell him I'll get the crown from those other Royal pricks ( his brothers) who would be terrible ' Vector thought
" So anything you want to show me King? What's your name by the way, would it be something my old man would recognize? Cause you said he played with you as a cub, knowing his memory, I'm sure he would remember you. "
" Hmm very true… Young Prince , tell him Tenok says hello. I have nothing to offer, the others have not provided, but I will give you one more piece of advice. "
" The FAE continent might be a middle ranked power. Not as strong as the demons or angels, not as adaptable as the humans, and certainly not as magic gifted as those Elven bastards. Yet, we always survive… how? Keep these words in mind, for a bigger truth is in play, and you must discover it yourself, young prince. Travel, rest, and or simply visit anytime."
" Now be on your way prince, if you ever are in a extreme death situation with a beast, simply tell whoever your fighting, who your father is, and they shall leave, ahahah! " The alpha said in a joking but serious manner
" PFTTTTT, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH , good one, you old wolf. It was nice meeting you Tekon " Vector replied in a cheery tone, while intriguing thoughts of what his old man went through flashed through his mind, and a mutual respect was slowly being established.
His excitement to see his father couldn't help but show, not for the "fatherly love", but rather to see, to see with his own eyes what " Power " truly is.. he no longer cared for childish approval or any thing of the sort.
For Vector, he only craved one thing, in a constant hunger, that would never cease to exist, Vector wanted power.
- - -
Through these years of slaving away, his earthen life ending in tragedy, with no support, nor love, and months of training in one of the most brutal natural beast areas, Vector truly has changed.
From the slob drunk, perverted, and trashy young prince. To becoming a highly skilled warrior, a damn powerful one, especially considering his starting time to train… alongside his young age, which is simply outrageous compared to all other beings, and yet, his biggest asset was Vector had a will that most people can only dream to glimpse at.
What Vector didn't know … was the thing he was cursing his whole FAE life, was actually a blessing in disguise, his soul drifting off… provided something that is invaluable to him.
Experience….
- - -
- Vector -
( Archeron Kingdom , FlameDen City, Slums , 3 Days Ride to Vector's Territory " MoonStone" )
Vector having finally completed his months long training, finally decided headed to head to the nearest city, which happened to be FlamDen, in the Acheron Kingdom.
Along the way, he met even more powerful beasts, sometimes fighting them, talking to them, and learning from them. However, there were a few instances when he really did have to use his fathers name …
- - -
After all this training, blood, sweat, and pure willpower.
The results?
…
Don't be so shocked, hard work can pay off, and living with constant life and death situations, can make a person grow tremendously…
However, even with all this hard work and growth, Vector could still be placed on bottom of the food chain…for his path was just starting.
" Status " Vector mumbled, while walking slowly through the slums, watching the dampened street lights flicker, and the treatment of the commoners.
Viewing these living situations, Vector vowed to never allow his territory to fall like this, he would rule it with an iron fist, and if those gangs don't fall in line, then those gangs would have to die.

Vector looking over his status, couldn't help but grin, compared to a few months ago, or even a few years ago… he would've never imagined to be in the position he is in today. No, he would use this opportunity to the best of his ability!
It was time to make his way back home, rather a home base to establish, and a territory to get under control. The gangs will have to submit, or they can die, either way is fine.
' Trash is Trash, isn't that right? I'm just a dud after all ' Vector could only inwardly smirk with disdain, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust, his body shaking with power, and his soul was feeling free finally!
' FUCK YEA! No longer am I powerless!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAHHHHAHAHHHHH. ' Vector wickedly laughed inside his head.
What Vector couldn't tell was, the more power Vector gained, the crazier he got, for his hunger was not power itself, but the thrill of it.
I hope he doesn't get a God-Complex ….

AN : END OF ARC 1 !!!!
Thanks you guys, from the bottom of my heart, I've been slowly improving with my writing skills, so bear with me me lol.
I have tons of ideas, creative aspects, and overall fantasy plots … but I can't write lol, not yet at least. Still figuring it out.
Anyways, there are a few notes I want to touch upon, before proceeding further into the next ARC , chapters will be coming out more frequently now.
1 ) The actual training moments will be flashbacks later in the story, maybe even the full chapters I have of it, in case I'm too busy, or can't provide a chapter for some reason.
2) The spells are accumulating fast! Therefore I'm changing the design, as I changed he design again in this chapter… it's easier this way, however, the spell information is saved, and can be pulled up by Vector, and will be displayed very few chapters.
3) Here's 2 options, on how the new spell system section will look. Pick one !
