Chapter 1 - 1

Standing atop a Charred Hill,a young child watched as Blue flames Embraced all in its path,homes filled with desperate screams trapped in the confines Of the Ever Growing Flames.Corpses of friends,families scattered around burning endlessly.in the small village he's Called home.

Panting,as the Bloody Moon Illuminated the horrific sight,A Cold Brezze pushed against his body flowing with the smell of blood and ash,gritting his teeth as his blood soaked clothes and grime filled body Ached in agony,he clenched his trembling fist.

"I'll kill you."His voice hoarse with inexplicable rage that no child should have as he glared towards the one who could cause such Death.

The air shifted,the winds grew harder parting his long messy black hair,as the sounds of the earth creaking under the weight of that monstrosity.

"I'll kill you!"A bright orange eye high above the clouds,briefly glanced over the boy before the sounds of an earth shattering roar,tore through the skies.

"AGHHH!"screaming towards the Beast with pure rage,the young boys Green eyes flashed,with the fires of his home.

"Winged Pig Guts! Get your winged pig guts! I'll even throw in a Premium Fried Wing! All for the low price of One Silver!"Yelled a gruffy old Man with,whiskers that sagged down to his beard,and long white feline ears that twitched here and there.

"Five silvers! I say five silvers for this beautiful jeweled necklace what say you my fair madames."a young man dressed in a long brown coat,spoke as he leaned towards the giggling group of girls,as one blushed profusely.

the bustling streets of The kingdom where filled with life,rows of people lined up waiting there turn to enter the heart of the kingdom,where hero's where made.where journey began,where adventures ended.The Adventures Guild.

It was a monument to the kingdom,a place cherished by all,Finely crafted by the best the eastern empire had to offer,giant in size with Statues of hero's of the empire,that guarded its front indestructible metal gates,that was magically imbued with old magic.positioned strategically infront of the imperial Palace it was built to sustain even the greatest of attacks,A fortress in its own right,it was capable of housing at least half of the kingdom or so it was said.

Inside the sounds of laughter and smell of delicious food was a common sight,as the walls where decorated with beautiful paintings,from around the known world.While Standing infront of a wooden desk,a gloomy beautiful woman sighed again,shaking her head once more.To the young adult with strange clothes.

"As I said before,I will not give you a dragon slaying quest,you will die….DIe."emphasizing the word die by waving her hands in the air,Mary was getting tired of dealing with these fresh meats thinking that just because now that there an adventurer ,there somehow capable of going against Titan Class monsters.shaking her head to the strange clothed boy infront of her,as he puffed his chest with pride.

"Hah,what is death to a man that has faced it."he said,causing Mary to raise a brow.

"With,this chance I have been given I plan on-"just as he was about to say another word ,Mary masterfully pulled out another flyer from under her desk and placed it in front of the weirdo.showcasing,a fat cat with the words lost bolded.

"Bubbles has gone missing again,rewards 2 copper this is the best you'll get newbie."watching as his face changed drastically,Mary held back her smile.

"I..But…hero-"not having the words to say,the boy just begrudgingly took the flyer and walked away.passing the group of people that laughed at him,with smiles etched on their faces causing the boy to blush in embarrassment.

"Next"Mary spoke,with a soft ah escaping her delicate lips,there infront of her was a fully armored man that she knew all to well with,a smile she twirled her hair as she leaned against the desk abit.

"Your back,I'd say you came back faster than last time,was the golems in the bewitching wilderness any trouble."waiting for him to speak,her eyes gazed at his armor noticing,how well kept it was considering what he faced was more than impressive.

"No trouble."he said,grabbing a small sack that hanged from his waist,before placing it on the desk.

Smiling she grabbed it,and swiftly pulled the string that kept it closed,widing her eyes momentary as amazement seeped onto her face she laughed loudly shocking everyone.

"Mary what has gotten into you."rushing up to her was a very small,woman appearing right infront of her with small beautiful wings that chimes every time she flapped them,having long golden blonde hair and deep emerald eyes she crossed her arms waiting for mary to explain.

"Ah just look Veronica,The Hero of Knights has outdone himself again."not understanding, Veronica looked down towards the big sack before counting them the glowing cores inside. slowly her eyes began to drastically widen.shakily looking towards the hero of knights she gulped.

"I'm sorry!"she said tearfully,bowing down to him causing the joyful atmosphere to drastically shift.

Tilting his head in confusion,Veronica spoke."There shouldn't have been that many,our network should have known if there where more than three,you could've been seriously injured or worse…"soon mutterings of the other adventure and common folk just stepping into the door sounded out.

"How many where they"perched ontop of a barrel spoke a cloaked figure towards his cloaked companions.

"Beats me,but Luckily it was him they ran into would have been a pain in ass if it was someone else."chowing down on a greasy steak,a tan cloaked figure spoke.

"Luckily?you mean unluckily,most of been a damn good fight."said a giant of a man,his eyes briefly showing through his hood.

"Hero of knights,how would you fare against him."leaning against a wall a man with long deep purple hair spoke out with hint of respect towards the man.

"It's fine."his voice cut through the air like a razor sharp knife gulling,the inards of an animal.

"But."the fairy wanted to express herself more just for him to shake his head.

"They couldn't touch me anyways."in complete disbelief,Mary who had just placed a giant sack on the desk froze aswell as Veronica.grabbing the bag he turned around and walked away,not bothering to explain himself after all who is he but not the hero of knights or so he is told.
