"This Is My Gift, My Curse."
After long hours of hearing his story, I can somewhat relate to it. I took a deep breath and stood up, "Now what?"
"You are my pawn now... Your help will only save this world and your life in it. I will train you to be a warrior... I will teach you the sorcery I only know about... You will be as strong as me in 2 days." Karalos roared through the space
"But what is the reason why is the world in danger now... isn't it getting its first God?" I asked.
"You will see... you will see. Have patience." Karalos whispered.
I nodded and followed him into his secret basement. There were blue lanterns all over the place. The lights got dimmed as we went forward and at a point it got dark... "Puerta Abierto" Karalos chanted in the dark room. All of a sudden, the green light rose from the ground and in front of me was a large battlefield.
"From now onwards, you will be my apprentice and I will be your mentor. No breaks until you bleed yellow blood... and become the Sorcerer Asesino" Karalos shouted with his hands in his back.

Days after day, week after week, every hour was terrific filled with agony and misery.
I only learned to fight properly in a sword fight but the magic was not my thing. " I think I am not cut out for the magic part..." I said as I was heavily breathing.
"But you must keep trying... the magic activates when you face a life-or-death situation. Go for that titan. Let's see what happens." Karalos ordered.
My heart was beating faster than ever. With every last ounce of strength, I was walking unsteadily with my sword in hand. The titan was a giant-looking skeleton with a giant broken sword. Getting my pace together, I ran at his legs and tried to slice his legs and I succeeded. He bent and I jumped and sliced his head... His head dropped to the ground... "Easy!"
"These titans are different tribes, if you kill them without using magic, they return from the land of the dead with more powerful than ever... Good luck with that" sarcastically said Karalos.
Before I could say knife... the ground was started to and tried to turn I see another man with a red samurai mask and katana...he drove towards my left arm and sliced it. I tried to parry his next attack with my one hand. But he lunged at me with a determined counterattack. His relentless thrusting attack caught me off guard... and I got stab into the heart.
I could hear my heartbeats slowing down... my life flashing before my very eyes... This was the end for me... I saw a woman in red dress... She had a box in her hand... "Quickly...take this and thee shall receive my powers!" she shouted.
I caught the box and opened it. There was a purple necklace shining into my eyes... I wore it and my body got rigid and I started to levitate. I closed my eyes forcefully and opened it... I see my body was covered in yellow blood... I got my left hand back and beside me stood Karalos. " Hell of a fight I gave until you were gone... Now let's not spend time laying here and get to work." Karalos said as he helped me get up.
