As the flames danced and cracked, lighting the cold night as though it were daytime. The anguished wails of Lukedonia residents filled the air. Mothers clutched their children tightly, their tear-streaked faces illuminated by the cruel blaze. Desperate cries for help mingled with the agonized screams of those who couldn't escape the relentless fury of Ragnarok.
Amidst the twilight of a once-thriving medieval city, a green humanoid tortoise stood on his two feet frozen, his rounded innocent green eyes wide with a mix of terror and tears as he stared at the flames licked at the cobblestone streets, painting the night with their fiery fury. The air was thick with the acrid stench of burning timber and despair.
He watched in horror as Lukedonia crumbled before his very eyes. Suddenly, the night sky tore open with a colossal streak of flame, making the cold night look like hell. Instantly, bodies were lost to ashes from the flames.
He saw valiant knights fall, their armor melting like wax as they attempted to defend their homeland. Frantic citizens stumbled through the burning streets, their bodies ablaze and their cries echoing in his ears. It was a nightmare come true, a vision of apocalyptic destruction.
The once-beautiful Kingdom now lay in ruins, its proud history reduced to ashes. As the flames continue to consume everything in their path, they are scarred by the merciless wrath of Ragnarok. Through the smoke and chaos, his eyes remained locked on the source of this infernal chaos, Ragnarok.
A colossal, regal, flaming red dragon, his scales shimmered in the ominous light of the flames, iridescent as if forged from molten gold. With each majestic wing, it spread to the south and west. A big, light purple magic circle glowed in the center of its head
The malevolent force that had brought devastation to the medieval kingdom of Lukedonia, the dragon's eyes glowed with an eerie intelligence, and his roar reverberated through the city, drowning out the sounds of suffering. A sea of molten flames blasts out into the city, and the watery, acidic nature of the blast melts the strongest building.
"Why is this happening? Master! Princess Elena. It can't be," cried the green humanoid tortoise as he continued to wail. The same purple magical circle on the dragon appeared on the tortoise's forehead. Suddenly, a blue game-like tab opens before his eyes.

The tortoise slammed his palms together and his eyes gleamed green accompanied by greenish lightning, his body enveloped by green lightning expanded as he grew in size into a colossal giant tortoise Godzilla towering above every building structure looking like tiny boxes before its massive size. His greenish lighting eyes stared at the regal scared dragon and his mouth as he began to gather greenish lightning energy around his mouth and aim for the descending dragon.
The dragon looking at a potential enemy threat gathered volcanic flames in his mouth while it flew at an appealing speed descending swiftly from the thunderous lightning sky aimed for the creature in front of him. From the pot lava from its throat, it unleashed blasting out a ray of volcanic flames into the air and at the same time, the Gozilla tortoise blasted his green lightning energy into the air aimed at the descending dragon. The blast from two massive creatures flew in the air colliding with each other forming a massive white nuclear energy ball.

Drip!
Drip!
Drip!
SPLASH!
With blood spattering her magnificent diamond crown, a stunning pale-skinned woman clenched her teeth and glared with nasty purple eyes. Her stunning butterfly blue and white laced medieval gown was completely covered in blood, and she could hear the blood from the dagger dripping to the marble floor below.
A bizarre tall, lanky, dark demonic creature, neither man nor woman hovering ten meters to the roof behind her and peering at me. Her face and body are hidden in a hooded cloak of darkness like death itself. Its fiery green eyes blazed terrifyingly.
I saw numerous soldiers in silver blue armor, armored to the teeth with silver helmets, matched into the room and surrounded us as they obeyed the woman with a crown. They pulled the strings of a bow with an arrow aimed at a man. He had tanned skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. He was my father. My eyes darted, and my pregnant mother lay dead on the floor, drenched in her pool of blood. I saw my father's enchanting prayers of the holy Roman Catholic prayer called a miracle.
"You will not have morning star. Only the true blood of Oregon would be able to weld it. If I am going to die, then I shall take you bloody as whole with me."
My father had spoken like a true warrior. His sword was enveloped in strange rehema magic floating from the ground, accompanied by a gust of wind that thrust it into the air. Like a flying jet, it thrust with speed into the body of the woman with a crown, and the sword vanished. Instantly, the soldiers fired their arrows, and my father's body became a mountain of arrows.
The strange demon stretched its skeletal hand, and suddenly a vortex of black magic enveloped the room. The wind from the vortex began to pull everything and anything inside the room into the vortex. As we held to a giant pillar in the room against the torrent of wind, I saw my mother sucked away into the vortex.
"Lucian! We can't let the lady of the lost take Hero away. We must do something. I can't use my prayers because I am pregnant. I would be vulnerable." Huh, lady of the who? Take me to where? I turned my eyes and saw my father stretching his hand toward me as he struggled to breathe. His breath became heavy. Behind my father, the lady of the lost elevated midair.
I feel the arms of a strong, big man covering my small fragile body with the weight of his body, which forces me to look up at his chin. His orange strands of hair covered my vision. He gritted his teeth as he stared in anger, glaring his orange eyes at the assailant floating above my father.
"What price did you pay to the lady of the lost for all this? To end Lord Reynolds's lineage, it must be heavy," Lucian angrily asked the crown lady.
"Hahahah, as long as the lady of the lost is here with me. You can't do anything. Kill them" The crown lady's voice sounded, but she collapsed due to the heavy injury she sustained as well.
"Hero, everything will be alright." The lady Sabrina assured me as she turned my eyes away from the scene and stared her blue eyes into my eyes.
"I know, Sabrina, we can't use that. I have to bargain with her." Lucian rose to his feet against the wind and unsheathed his giant sword.
The soldiers fully surrounded Lucian and his wife and then pulled their swords out of their sheaths and began to move with their swords pierced straight for us. For some reason, I stretched my small right hand with confidence.
My hands began to glow in Golden light, and blue energy cackled up in lightning. Concentrated adrenaline mana covered my entire body as it seeped into my veins, closing into my core. Sweat dripped from my forehead as Adrenaline energy simultaneously spread from my core through my veins into my body.
An electrostatic charge separated the positive from the negative, creating an electric field around me. The Adrenaline cackled up with energy as it swirled turning into a bright golden yellow and blue light moving through my body at the speed of light. I squeezed my eyes open as my eyes lit up with red eyes and golden pupils and great power unleashed
Boom
The world around me seemed to move in slow motion as the pool of blood from the floor and from my parents and the crown lady suddenly drew from their bodies and floated into the air like a stream of water forming into a giant red liquid ball. And from that blood came out hundreds of sharp giant piercing long blood solid pointed needles aimed at the incoming soldiers.
I released my hand with power
As the bodies of the adversary grew closer and closer every mill second to us. The needle shoots into the air accompanied by a shared amount of force and the soldiers discover their bodies pierced like swords thrusting into their bodies. They all suddenly grab their swords and slit their throats and fall to the marble floor. I stretched my hand at the crown lady directing the blood from the dead soldiers into several sharp-pointing solid swords.
The lady of the lost stared at me in great shock.
"That boy must be one of the rare cursed Oregon blood mages, the descendant of Aragon, give him to me." She stretch her skeleton hands towards me only to be blocked by Lucian and then she continued "He possessed Great blood magic. He won't be able to use his magic anyway—that blood that can enslave humans and monsters to fight for him. He would be hunted and killed. Oregon powers are diamond rare rank and forbidden." I saw Lucian walk and talk to her, and I heard the number sixteen.
I saw my father cry out my name before he passed away, and his only last words were, "Henrietta, Hero am sorry. Lucian, I leave Hero in your hands."
Lucian looked at Sabrina and said, "I guess there is no way about it. The Great King of Oregon tragedy started the cursed blood of a vampire and a human. This is an ominous sign and people will fear him and hunt him as they try to hunt King Oregon and his son Prince Aragon Oregon. People fear what they don't understand. So we must seal his mana core so he won't be able to use blood magic. At least, when he is old enough to know about it and control it."
"That means its Adventurers Academy. He won't be able to attend steam Mage Academy even though he possesses great power. I feel sorry for Hero. The one who possesses the legendary Oregon blood is the one true king who can wield the morning star to rule five kingdoms however he would be hunted especially by the monarchy of five. A great calamity will come on him. We must train this boy"
I felt Sabrina's hands on my back, and her hand glowed green. A great green flaming bird phoenix flew into the air, landed on my back, and solidified into a giant black bird tattoo. My attack stopped, and I collapsed to the ground, however, what they did not know was that I as small as I was. I knew what was going on.
...…..
Scratch!
Scratch!
I opened my eyes to the sound of the gemstone striking the walls of the dungeon as it echoed through the tunnel. The illuminated Green flames from a torch shine at me where I sat sleeping on the dungeon floor.
" You awake Neo" I shift my gaze to the man in full blue armor holding a giant sword behind his neck. He is Pale skinned with short light spiky brown hair matching his eyes staring at me.
" Huh! What happened Brody? I woke up from the weirdest craziest dream. My name was Hero in another world and my parents were killed by some sort of devilish Monster called Lady of the Lost" I scratch my head as a female voice cute in.
" A dream, likely possible in the dungeon filled with crystal stones. I hear the thousands of dungeons across America and the earth are ancient relics hmmmm about a thousand plus old and likely possible the crystal stones with endless mana give you dreams. I hear it all connected somehow" I trance the familiar voice as the sounds of her footsteps filled the empty dark tunnel as she approached us. A tall pale skinned lady in full orange-brown mental armor with a bang of her hair shaven to the side revealed by the flames.
" Where are the others? I believe we have all we need. That's quite some catch we got there. Neo can handle the rest while I search for them right Neo" She looks at the bag of crystal stones indicating I should carry it.
I rise to my feet, lift the bag filled with mana stones, and walk to the exit. We met four other Adventurers as we walked out of the portal. Looking at the sky as I tried to adjust my eyes to the brightness of the sun.
It is a hot afternoon filled with the hustle and bustle of the city as adventurers and hunters gather in lion guild buildings. One of the top guilds, renowned for its organization and connections, had sustained its position as the oldest and most respected guild since the appearance of the dungeons around Earth a thousand years ago.
No one knows how or when the dungeons appeared on Earth, but one thing was certain: they held treasures of immeasurable value. Hunters and adventurers soon began venturing into these mysterious dungeons, discovering creatures that dated back to ancient times before humanity even existed. As a result, a new era of abilities began to emerge.
....
"Neo! Can you move a little faster? I need them to see the glorious catch of the day" announce brody, Leader of the team. Footsteps of the rampage bull party Adventurers arrived at the guild, proudly walking through the rectangular hall filled with Adventurers looking at them.
Neo of the rampaging party trailed behind as he entered after them, panting and his tanned-skinned body fatigued from lugging around huge bags filled with dungeon loots. In contrast to the pricey golden armor and elaborate ways, the other party members have outfitted themselves. He was clothed in an inexpensive regular wore-out black jacket and jeans with a leather belt.
Strands of rebellious brown hair and baggie brown eyes. His solid physical structure and stamina, which have been established through time, are the only positive aspects of him aside from his worn-out shoes that call for freedom.
Neo finally entered the room and the Hunters started making fun of him.
"HAHAHAHA!, look at him, look at him. Nearing the ground is Neo. F-ranker, I mean our failed rank, needs assistance carrying the Bag before he trips hahaha" one hunter slandered at me
"We all know he is the weakest of the weak. Buhahaahahaha! " They slapped the table while laughing
A man with white spiky hair stepped forward and reached out to take the bag from me, his demeanor serious and business-like.
"I'll take it from here," he said, his voice commanding the attention of the room. "This is quite the haul, Neo. I'm impressed."
He inspected the gemstones closely, nodding in approval.
"These will fetch a high price in the market," he said. "You've done well, Neo. You may not have the flashy armor or the expensive gear, but you have something much more important - determination and hard work."
"Well done, Neo. You help assist us with the difficult task and the weaponry" interjected Brody from the corner of the room. The hunters and adventurers turned their attention to the source of the voice.
"This serves as payment" I looked at the American dollar bills on Brody's hand.
"You guys promised to help with the bags if I joined your party, but you left me with all the heavy stuff and what is this in your hands? Is That supposed to be my payment?
"Although we made an agreement, our hands were made for holding weapons, not lifting".
The party's leader smirks. Brody.
"Screw that! I discovered the rare jewels from the dungeon. According to the rules set by the Lion Guilds, any rare treasure found by a party member during a dungeon exploration belongs to the individual who found it. When it is exchanged, I want my share from it". Brody stretched his hands on Neo's shoulders
The party leader, Brody, scowled. "Look man, unless stated otherwise in a written contract signed by all party members before entering the dungeon. We didn't sign any contract like that. It's your word against mine."
"What!" Neo's heart sank as he heard the party leader's words.
"I may be F-rank, but I know my rights. We made a deal, and you promised to let me keep anything I found in the dungeon. That's the only reason I joined your party in the first place ."
Brody sneered. "You're in no position to make demands, Neo. You're lucky we even paid you at all."
"I had enough of being treated like dirt. I won't stand for this. I'll take this matter to the guild master and see what she has to say about it."
Brody laughed. "Good luck with that, kid. The guild master doesn't care about lowly F-ranks like you."
The party leader, Brody, lifted his hand while facing the adventurer across the hall and said, "Mr. Neo here claims to have found a treasure, but I paid him to accompany my team, and anything found in the dungeon is mine. Is it mine or his?"
"Yours, hahaha" laughter increased, "more beer please for the hunters!" Brody shouted, raising his right hand above his head. The hunters began to cheer.
"It's wrong!" she shouted. "Absolutely wrong! First, you breached a contract with him, and then you denied him his treasures from the dungeon, which he hand-picked by himself and carried all those loads, and how many of you went into the dungeon?"
"Come on, Lady Sandra. You should know it's one of those things between men. I'm sure Neo understands what we're talking about," Brody said.
"Well, instead of talking about this insignificant moron here, why not talk about us?" he continued.
"Let me man you tonight, and I can share some juicy treasures for your stunning beauty." Brody lifted his hands in laughter, looking at the hunters who praised him.
Lady Sandra stepped forward, her eyes blazing with fury. "You're a despicable excuse for a leader, Brody," she said. "Neo deserves his fair share, and you know it. I won't stand for this kind of treatment of our fellow adventurers."
The hunters fell silent, and Brody's face reddened with anger. "How dare you speak to me like that!" he said.
But Lady Sandra didn't back down. "I'll speak to you however I please," she said. "And if you don't give Neo what he's owed, I'll report you to the guild. They won't take kindly to this kind of behavior."
"Come on Lady Sandra. I know you don't want us to be on bad terms with each other. Let bed each other tonight and I will give you some treasures"
''ooooohoooo," the hunters praise Brody while banging the table with their bottled drinks.
The adventurer's eyes opened as they turned their head towards Sandra.
"You want to bed me tonight, don't you?" Sandra smirked, folding her arms.
"I'll bed you if you're man enough," she replied.
"Ah! Baby, I'm man enough. I'll give it to you at any angle you want it," brody responded. Neo gritted his teeth.
"I'll bed you on one condition. You have to beat me in a sword fight. I'll bed anyone here if they can beat me in a fight, but if I win the sword fight. I claim all the treasures brought from the dungeons for myself." Sandra smiled and lifted her palm, waiting for an answer.
Brody was surprised and quiet, while the female hunters and adventurers banged the table with their bottles of beer, indicating their agreement to the challenge and shouting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"I thought you said men are the stronger ones and women are the weaker vessels. So who's weak now and afraid of a little sword challenge? Perhaps men are the weaker vessels, after all," Sandra added.
"Sufficient for a bottle but unfit for combat." Sandra looks at Brody, who she was baiting for a battle.
"I'm sure those things in between your legs are tiny like your brains Moron," she says. The guys all fix their attention on Brody, signaling that he must stay in this fight or else the respect he has earned over the years will be tarnished. Brody raises his head and says with a mischievous grin.
"All right, get ready to go to bed tonight. I'm going to have so much fun with those large boobs of yours and hear you groan and plead for my mercy with the little object in between my legs while you scream in agony in my room". The men tapped their bottles on the table.
"Those tiny things between your legs can't do more than a dead dog. You will be bedding my sword. Tiny thing".
Angrily slamming the secretary's desks, Brody offers the secretary all of his riches. He says while turning his head. "They are not tiny, to the challenge arena right now." Every hunter and explorer stood up and started to walk toward the arena.
The secretary grabs the bag and directs the fighters to the challenge ring
...
The adventurers made their way down a passage hall painted in a cool shade of blue, and within minutes, Neo and Sandra emerged into a vast enclosed hall.
The squared underground hall was similar to a wrestling ring Arena with a wrestling iron net cage in the middle surrounded by galleries where the Adventurers took their seats. Giant TVs hung in the air meters away from the iron cage.
At the four edges of the rectangular arena, were shimmering blue gem shard stones. As I walked behind Sandra, I pulled her arms.
"Sandra, I appreciate what you're doing for me, but is it really necessary? What if you end up losing?" Neo asked.
Sandra turned to face me, her eyes locking into my eyes as if I was some child. "Just shut it! You've been through enough. It's time for me to step up, and you'll be fighting right alongside me as always," she declared.
"What! Wait why me? Sandra had already turned and started walking towards the arena.
"Z" Sandra smirked narrowing her eyes.
The announcer began. "Advent ladies and adventurer men, Adventurers and hunters. Tonight's match is an epic battle between the un-breaking bones of steel, ko fights 50, bone broken 105, and uncounted body counts none. I present to you Sandra the flaming steel and her number one weakest sidekick nerd, Neo, the Failed F ranker." Studio light shone through the hall as we made our way up the arena.
Sandra opens the iron cage door and steps into the arena. She lifted her two hands I could hear the screams of ladies rooting for Sandra.
San! San! San!, san! San! San! San! Continuously, I walked into the arena and it looked bigger, wider than an ordinary wrestling arena. The gemstones at each corner are filled with mana that creates a realistic stage battle performance.
As I looked at Brody's fighter downstage, about three of them but I could spot one I was or I should say everyone is afraid of. He was bald, a big giant with a height of about two full-grown men with ripping muscles all over his body like a man who spent his life in the gym compared to my skinny weight. He has a scar on his face with a giant sword across his shoulders. The Adventurer name rampaging Bull was named after him.
The announcer stretched his hand and announced as his voice with background music played through the enclosed arena.
" On the other side of the Arena, is the rampaging Bull Adventurers with their team members and..." I could hear the screams of his fans both male and female shouting "The undefeated giant, crusher, and killer with high numbers of ko kills 250, legs and body breaks 185, and other body counts still in the hospital uncounted for. Let's make way for the raging bull himself".
I could hear the giant thud and the ground arena beneath my feet as the shaking as Brody and his giant climbed to the stage. It seems Brody giving up his treasure was serious about having sex with Sandra and this battle must he win.
" Hey, hey" I whispered to Sandra
" What dammit?" she turns at me furious.
" My nickname is not dammit. It's failed ranker the weak Hero. It is not too late to turn back now."
" Shut it. Weak Nero or do you want me in Brody's bed" I narrowed my eyes frowning at her reply.
As the hunters and adventurers ascended the stairs to the empty gallery. Catherine turned to her friend, a dark-skinned Brazilian woman with long dreadlocks and a light blue adventurer outfit. "So, Juliet, who do you think will win the fight?" she asked.
"Of course, you mean your rival, Sandra?" Juliet replied, raising an eyebrow. Catherine nodded.
"Yes, I'm betting on her to win. She and Neo have an unbreakable bond. She will practically do anything for that weakling and I wonder why. I want to see them fight for themselves and prove that Neo can join our next raid. Plus, I support Sandra's belief that women are equal to men. We have strength and can do just as much as men can, if not more."
A deep, booming voice interrupted their conversation. "Women are not equal to men. What nonsense are you spewing?" The speaker was a broad, pale-skinned man with red hair and a neatly trimmed beard, wearing a black fur trench coat. He stood next to Catherine in the gallery.
Catherine's temper flared. "Sir Gregory, you're wrong. Women are equal to men!" she shouted.
"No, they're not," Gregory retorted, raising his voice.
Catherine grabbed his collar, causing a commotion in the gallery. Gregory tried to pull her hand away from his neck, and the argument escalated to the point where men and women adventurers started to get involved in a rowdy mouth fight. Some grip the others at the collar.
"Women are equal"...shouted another woman
"Watching the scene unfold, Neo stepped forward grabbing the Microphone from the announcer who happened to be the receptionist, and addressed Catherine and Gregory.
"Hey, guys, let's calm down. Everyone here is an adventurer, and we all have different strengths and weaknesses. Gender doesn't determine that. Can't we just appreciate each other's skills and work together as a team?"
His words seemed to resonate with the group, and the argument finally died down. The adventurers settled back into their seats, eagerly awaiting the upcoming fight.
"Hoooowever, Women are more intelligent than men!" The men in the arena turned their heads with their angry eyes narrowed at Neo.
"What did you just say, punk ass loser?" Some hunters shouted from the upper galleries, "Shut the f*ck up, you accursed failed rank."
Another explorer shouted from the crowd, "Hey you weakly, come here and get your ass whooped by me, you failed to rank as whole pussy!"
"You see, even the weak Neo support us". A woman yelled, "Women are equal!" Then the fight began again with the women and men in a rowdy arena
Neo yelled,
"I never said women are equal."
"Whose side are you on, punk ass virgin?" Several women shouted.
"Can you please stop calling weakly and calling names already," demanded Neo, slamming his palm against his face.
"Of course, I'm a man, but I don't think that men and women should be treated equally.
Women ought to be protected by the male. Each person has a purpose in life and needs the masculine to defend them. Even though women are naturally inferior to men, let's be honest about this. Women are significantly smarter than men. It has been scientifically demonstrated that women think faster and are more multi-tasking than men. I can't say that they have equal abilities because they both have obligations to one another." Brody interjected.
"When you two have finished chatting, let's proceed with the battle. My cock is itching me." Three men are ready to fight and are standing next to Brody
"I brought my team, where is yours?" Brody questioned
Juliet laughed as Catherine released her hold on Gregory's neck and they prepared to watch the fight.
Juliet turned to Catherine and said, "You know what? I think Neo might surprise us. He seems to have wisdom, and that's probably why Sandra sticks close to him."
Catherine nodded in agreement as they watched the team prepare for the upcoming fight. Sandra announced that she would be the only one fighting, which surprised Brody.
"What? Are you trying to insult me?" Brody asked with a hint of annoyance.
Sandra responded with a sly smile, "Just come at me, or don't you want to bed me tonight?"
Brody's lips curled into a smile as he replied, "I never knew you were so eager to taste my rod. Okay, have it your way."
He then motioned to an average-looking youth with red spiky hair and matching eyes in a brown leather outfit to fight Sandra. The young man, James, walked towards the arena.
"Don't let me down, James!" Brody shouted. The arena began to change, and a barrier shield rose to the roof. Sandra sheathed her sword, and the announcer shouted, "Now, bet your wins on who we win tonight's battle. Now fight".
"I am going to win this fight like a walk in the park"
James swiftly without any delay stretched his right hand and it began to glow red, and suddenly a red beam flashed and shot out of his hand as he sprinted into the air and Sandra declared,
"They are weak." James's eyes grew wider as Sandra Suddenly vanished from his view and appeared right next to his right shoulder. Her hands swung in the air and she smashed James's neck with the Side of her right hand. The unexpected action causes James' eyes to widen. The arena comes spinning around his eyes and he collapses on the ground.
"What? What happened just now? Supersonic speed?" Brody interrogates his pals shocked.
The females in the crowd hailing the swift defeat "Men are scum" echo at the gallery
Destiny the raging bull with a muscular deep husky voice said, "I don't know but I will challenge her."
Destiny, a man with a massive sword, large ripping muscles, dark eyes, and short silver hair moved into the arena. We could feel the vibration of the shaking arena as every step got closer to us.
Sandra was moving closer to the announcer as he was about to start. Running into the center of the arena, Destiny leaped into the air and swung his enormous sword down at Sandra.
Sandra observed the incoming sword in the air. Sandra looking at the sword as it drew near before her eyes suddenly jumped backward from the sword's path.
Swooped
His blade accompanied by a gust of wind swung horizontally into the air. Sandra ducked as the blade swung past her head and Destiny continued to swing the sword horizontally in an attempt to sever her head.
She swings her fist with a considerable amount of force while making a fist-folding motion. The fist suddenly catches fire before transforming into a black, iron fist and striking Destiny in the stomach. Destiny was pushed back by an inch but he stretched his hand at Sandra. His deep voice spoke
"I know you are naturally weak. Your strength comes from him. The mage can empower anyone with his magic but yet can't use the magic to protect himself. Imagine....I....take....him...out" Destiny moved his hand from Sandra's direction and his hand aimed at Neo. A massive lightning-energy beam shot out into the air in Neo's direction.
Sandra's eyes widened as she realized what was about to happen. She rushed forward to intercept the lightning beam but it was too late. Neo watched as the lightning struck with a thunderous sound at him. Thousands of volts surge through his body and he collapse to the floor.
"Neooooo!, neooooh. neeoooooooh" Sandra's voice was the last thing he heard before he passed out.

"What the hell happened? Tsk! I got knocked out by the raging bull. Did Sandra win?"
I opened my eyes blearily as a dim candle stared back at me. A game-like system tab is in front of my vision.
"What the hell? Why is a game in my vision? Who the hell is Hero?" suddenly I recall Memories and my father's last words.
"Gather the six heroes" The system tab flashed again before my eyes.
[SYSTEM NEUTRALIZING DEATH POISON...LOADING 10% TILL COMPLETE]
I am Hero Reynolds and it seems until the poison is neutralized I can't do anything.
"What the hell is happening? I was in an arena ring a moment ago.
I noticed that I was in a small room with more than twenty-five young children dressed in filthy gray rags that could barely be called clothes. A big round manillium collar is strapped around their necks, which blocks Mana and prevents one from applying magic.
"What's going on? Did the lightning strike teleport me somewhere else? No, I recall the very first Memories of Hero as a child. Is this a dream, it feels so real. I looked at my hands, tanned skinned.
I wondered where I was but I didn't let the confusion show on my face. I had a similar collar around my neck but I was dressed in fine white Tunis. From the looks of it, I was a newbie. "What the hell happened? Why am I here?'' I racked my brain for some information only to be greeted with pain and weakness. From the environment, I was in dungeon mines filled with Mana stone somewhere anywhere.
Slam!
Suddenly, the door burst open and slammed against the wall. Some of the young children woke up frightened holding each other's arms. A dark woman with beautiful pink hair matching her eyes shouted.
"Get up, you damn idiots! It's been hours already. Get back to work". She slams a whip into the ground. We got up and followed her into a giant cave filled with children mining glowing crystals.
"Hey, how long have I been here?" I questioned a child. His face revealed his suffering.
"Two days," he replied as he got up and walked among the queue.
"Hey newbie," the guard lady said, turning to me and handing me a blunt pickaxe to begin to break the rock.
"Now get to work. We will give you your rag clothes much later," other guards dressed in dark biro blue Tunis with a belt around the waist and matching pants laughed. There was a white emblem of two crossed swords by the pocket area of their Tunis.

I could see the system in my vision working. For the time being, I lay low until I have fully recovered. My goal is to find out more information and escape this place quickly. I felt like I was forgetting something. I joined a group of children picking rock after rock on a wheelbarrow into a train-like cave. As I continued, I suddenly remembered a memory of love and friendship with a lady named Elena as it flashed into my mind.
