My name is Jordan...
I was born the second prince to a Royal family. But not just any Royal family. I was born a prince of the first race created by the Gods, the Monster race.
At first I was overjoyed about being the second son because I thought it meant I won't have to shoulder any responsibilities. I was overjoyed because I felt I could now live the way I had always wanted.
But. That wasn't the case.
Over ten thousand years ago, the Ancestors of the eight Royal families came together to create something called... the Veil. This Veil was a powerful barrier created to seal the Demon race.
Apparently the demon race raged war against the many races of the surface and finally turned their heads towards the Monster race.
But that was their mistake.
The Demon race, having a large population that took a territory almost half of the continent, were trapped behind the Veil by my Ancestors.
But when the Gods saw this, they decided that the eight royal Monster families were too powerful and trapped the heads of each family in one of the three Labyrinths. That labyrinth was later known as the Underground Tower. My home.
As the heads of each family were trapped, the Ancestors came up with a way to rule their clans from the Tower. Each family will send the second child, male or female to rule their clan in their parent or sibling's stead.
Now, I have been dumped with that responsibility and have no choice but to rule my clan. The Wolves clan. I will accept my duty but I will not let it get in the way of my dream. My dream of living slothfully. My dream of living an easy, work-free and worry-free life.
To make my dream a reality, I will have to create the perfect city. A city that runs by itself, a utopia. Or maybe, rather than a city. How about I create a nation. A nation so perfect that the king won't have much work to do. Hmm, that sounds like a superb idea if I do say so myself.
Now that I have the perfect plan, what do I need? What do I need to create such a nation? Information and power. I need to know everything about everything.
That was how I started learning as much as I could about this world. To make my plan a reality. And it was all coming together. Or so I thought.
Two years ago, I left the Tower to learn more about the world on the surface so I could add to my knowledge. That's when I discovered it. I discovered something that made my simple and peaceful life seem impossible.
What did I find you ask. Well first I need to explain something else. When I was born, I was visited by a God.
Apparently, Gods visit certain individuals the deem worthy and grant them blessings. I was visited by the God of Wisdom, Althea. Apparently, she visited me and blessed my eyes. This gave me a different eye colour than the rest of my clan.
Wolves are either born with Red eyes, the eyes of authority, or Yellow eyes for all other wolves. But after my eyes were blessed, they changed from Red to Blue. The blessing gave my eyes the ability to see things others can't.
Now back to what I was saying. I found something that greatly affected my plan. The Veil was weakening.
I was traveling the surface learning new things. Then I visited the Salvador Federation and went even further east. That was when I saw it. No one else seemed to notice. But I did, because of my eyes. I don't really know much about the War of the Seven Flags, but I do know that Demons, are a powerful race. The veil was weakening and about to break.
Imagine this. You are a Demon, that was sealed away, by a race you fought against. And finally, after ten thousand years, you managed to escape. What would you do. I am sure you won't just shake hands and make up with the people who sealed you.
I think the first thing the Demons will do is to rage war on the race or races that trapped them.
And that's us,... the Monster race. After all, the Demons are a race known for their strength, long lives and violent nature. Anyway, my point is... my dream is now next to impossible.
No, no, no. I won't let anything or anyone get in the way of my dream or hurt my race. I will do anything to protect them.
Maybe that was why I was given this blessing. So I can find out years before the Veil breaks. But my eyes alone won't help me. I need strength, and not just me. I will build my nation, but not only just for Wolves. I will build a nation of Monsters.
A nation of Monsters powerful enough to defend ourselves from the Demons. We were the first race created by the Gods. We will not go down without a fight. I will build a nation of powerful Monsters and I will, protect the peace.
To protect my race, my family and my dream. I will become KING.

"Do you have what it takes?" Klaus asked me.
"Most of you have known me since I was a kid. No, even before that. Since I was born. You all should know the kind of person I am. Yes, I am lazy and I joke around a lot. But when lives are at stake, I don't joke. I was born the second prince and I have been happy about that since I was young. I thought I didn't have to work hard, I didn't have to shoulder any responsibilities. It was bliss."
"But then as I grew older I discovered. I discovered the world I live in is not a world so soft. The only way to live the way you want in this world was to be strong. Stronger than anyone and everyone else. So, I decided. To become stronger. Even though current I am still weak I know one thing."
"I am stronger than everyone in this room. No, everyone in the Northern Region and Minora together. I will become King of the Monster race and I will make us stronger. Stronger than any other race on the surface. Stronger than any of the races in the two continents."
"Then prove it to us." Roger said. Everyone grumbled in agreement. "Show us your strength." Roger continued as he stood up. Everyone followed him and stood.
"I agree." King Klaus announced. "Any Monster who believes he can take my place and shoulder the responsibility of the seven minor clans must prove that he is stronger than me. I already know that you are an intelligent man and will make a smart king, Jordan. But intelligence isn't enough to rule. Strength is a must. Show us your strength."
"Everyone in this room are all in the final stage of the Innate Realm. So show us how much difference there is between us." Ash said.
*Innate Realm: In this realm of power, the individual possesses the power of their race and subrace but can train to further evolve. This realm is divided into three stages.
Early Innate Realm › Middle Innate Realm › Final Innate Realm*
The unconscious smile formed on my lips again as stood up. "Alright."
I unleashed my aura.
My aura was massive enough to cover the entire city. The whole city felt the pressure but the people closest to me felt it most. My aura, in the form of a giant wolf with snow white fur and deep blue eyes, exacted a pressure that made the air in the room heavy.
Everyone in the room unleashed their aura to counter the pressure. But they were overwhelmed. Most of the people in the room started to lose their footing and could hardly breath. They felt shivers sent down their spines as the pressure kept growing.
Now, only the fourteen clan leaders could remain on their feet but even then they were staggering. The rest had fallen to their knees. Everyone in the room began to feel dizzy and lightheaded.
Seeing they could barely remain standing, I calmed my aura. The heaviness in the room stopped. They were all breathing hard and sweating buckets. The pressure was massive. Only the strongest people in the room could remain standing.
Ralph burst into laughter. "Magnificent. The only time someone made me this much pressure was when my father got angry at me for refusing to come to the surface. Jordan. How did you get this strong?"
"I was lucky I guess. The Gifts & Blessings I was born with were the compatible with me."
Roger continued. "That's perfect. Ideals alone are not enough to change the world. Having the strength to back those ideals is the first step towards change. Alright everyone, I believe we should take a vote. Even though Jordan has proven to us all that he has the strength, we still need to put it to a vote."
"But." Roger continued. "Whoever is chosen, we must accept as our king. Who among us here in this room do we believe have the strength and ideals to lead us all. Remember, this decision will determine the fate of our race. Let us all choose wisely."
The fourteen clan leaders and Ash, the leader of the Wolf clan, making fifteen, took a vote. Ash was asked to collect and announce the results.
They all took their seats, leaving only Ash standing. "The vote is unanimous!" Ash announced. "The second prince of the Wolf Clan, Prince Jordan. You have been chosen to rule as the King of the Monster race. Now, tell us your plan."
