Synopsis

Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1

There was a kid in the Everlands that's body was pale. He seemed frail, skinny, he looked unhealthy. And the reason for that was he is a slave his whole life and was treated poorly. A unfortunate kid that lived his life serving, his face having no life at all. His name was Maic, a thirteen year old boy that got kidnapped at the age of four and was brought inside the Everlands, a continent that had a whole kingdom, "The Royal Lands."

Starting from there, he had served the kingdom along with other slaves brutally as there was no freedom left for them. From four to thirteen, he has been brutally beaten in every way possible, emotionally and physically. They were treated like insects, rats, like a disgusting animal.

Maic and the others didn't communicate to each other in any way, as everyday they were held at gunpoint, not literally but the same thing. The others wanted to get out of the Everlands for so long, due to that, they have awakened their power, their Desire.

But those that seemed fortunate were killed instantly when the King saw them awaken. Nobody in here was allowed to have powers, only the King and his royal guards. All the people here are evil, that's why Maic and the other slaves want to get out. Although it seemed impossible, Maic had a plan.

Maic was one of the awakened, luckily, he awakened when no one was around. He had the power of Psychokinesis, a power that can manipulate things with one's mind. Psychokinesisis a very powerful ability as it is needed to reach Maic's desire.

And that is to kill the King and his people. Everyone in the Everlands.

Maic is gonna use his powers to save everyone in the Everlands and leave with no feelings still lingering that was gonna drag them down. His plan was to sneak out the Everlands at midnight, a check. Maic is on the beach with the cold breeze. He was looking for wood and ropes, as his plan was to build a raft big enough that it can fit everyone there.

Once again, it may seem impossible but you should know to never doubt a man called Maic. He may not look like it, but he's quite a fast learner and a hard worker. All thanks to being a slave of course, he can keep going even if he's tired, he's quite fast too. And so, he began to collect wood and some rope that weren't needed and we're thrown out.

Maic is sure that he wouldn't get caught, as there's a forest right behind the beach, hiding him. After thirty minutes, he was halfway done and Maic is still up for more work, after all, it was for everyone's sake.

Soon, the sun was almost rising. He's running out of time, he needs to finish the raft immediately. He took it up a notch, working like there's tomorrow. And after all that, he had finally finished building the raft, no, a boat. As soon that it was finished, he ran towards the prison where they all sleep and Maic saw the other slaves awake, following orders as usual.

Maic hid in one of the bushes near them as he peeked sneakily. The royal guards and the citizens of Everlands were scolding them all as usual, seems like they haven't noticed that Maic was gone yet which was great for Maic's plan to succeed.

Second part of the plan, get the other slaves to sneak out successfully as Maic distracts the royal guards and the citizens.

Maic was about to throw a large rock in one of the house when all of the slaves started to get beaten up as always, but this angers Maic. He flushed red in anger, he manipulated a boulder and threw it across the kingdom, hitting the royal palace where the king was staying at. The royal palace, a castle like place, was destroyed and made a huge explosion that shook the whole kingdom with shockwaves and debris flying out thought the kingdom.

After that, the whole entire kingdom was in chaos. The royal guards and citizens ran towards the royal palace, leaving the slaves behind. Maic was dumbfounded with his feat, but he was also gleeful. He jumped out the bushes and looked at the slaves.

"Hey, let's escape!"

"What? Are you crazy! We might get caught!"

"I can deal with that, but it's unlikely since all of the attention are towards the palace. Now stopw whining and let's escape this place already!"

Maic encouraged them with a bright smile.

"Your right, let's escape before they find out!"

"Follow my lead."

He commanded, as he walked out the forest with the others following him.

As they arrived at the beach, Maic looked at where he had placed the boat, but to his sudden surprise, the king was sitting there in the boat. He had short yellow hair that fades into white the more you look down on his hair. He had a elegant aura, his vibe was the literal definition of 'Royalty'. Maic hadn't expected this, nobody did.

The king's brown gaze was putting pressure in all of us as we all began to sweat bricks. The king stood up and hopped out of the boat, his clothes were dark, gray specifically. He had a gray suit that was long and not tucked in, he had gray pants that matched his outfit, along with his gray shoes and with his cape like clothing in his shoulder. The cape was gray but it had dark green on the inside.

He looked at us with a smirk as he approached. Maic waves at everybody to step back, as he broke a tree and threw it towards the king with great speed. The impact of the tree caused an explosion, but how? The other slaves began to be relieved but Maic did not feel the same. As he knew his attack did no absolute damage to the king.

The smoke cleared out, as Maic saw the same tree he threw burned to ashes. A black powder that was soon gonna be them if they don't get the hell out of there immediately. The king grins, as he looked at Maic with a unimpressed expression.

"What? Is that all, twig?"

"Shut up you deadbeat king. There's more coming at your face, do your worst defending it asshole."

Maic then threw a barrage of attacks, first, it was around twenty trees he threw straight to the king, then second, he gathered all of the sand near him and combined it with the tree, hitting the king while possibly blinding him for a slight second.

For a second, Maic had reached a new level. He can manipulate things much better now, as previously he can't control the strength of his attacks, now he can somehow get the grasp of what his damage is gonna be. Along with him managing to manipulate more things like water or some sorts of gas, liquid, almost anything.

Maic then manipulated a large amounts of sea water and launched it to the King. Maic had exhausted himself, he was reaching his limits as his mana and body couldn't keep up with his fast attacks that the whole round of attacks only lasted for five seconds. Maic bended down, gasping for air as he looked at the target just to see him yawning out of boredom.

Crap, I can't keep attacking...

Maic thought nervously as he fell to his knees.

Is this the end for us?

But then suddenly, Maic's train of thought was disrupted when a white haired slave stepped in to protect Maic. He had white hair then faded into black, the same type of hair with the king, they both look handsome, a eyecatcher. But anyways, that's not the type of thing to say in this atmosphere.

"King Haylen, will you let us go of your arms once and for all? We are asking politely, please just let us go, we want to live."

"Uh, yeah buddy. I don't think he's gonna listen to your polite request."

Maic looked at him with a sarcastic expression.

"... Do you want to live or not?"

He sighed as he palmed his forehead.

"Sorry but no, peasant. Unfortunately, I won't be letting you go. You all are mine forever and ever for eternity, my toys, pets, a stress reliever."

"Stress reliever? Too far man."

Maic looked at him with a fierce expression.

"I can kill you everytime I'm stressed, you all don't mean anything to me anyways. All of you are useless from the world I'm gonna create, a world that everyone worships me!"

"Crazy bastard."

"Stop adding comments you brat!"

Maic sensed danger as he manipulated nearby water and quickly launched it just Infront of him. As Maic sensed, King Haylen released a fire attack that almost blast through my wall of water. A huge steam evaporated our surroundings, a fog was now surrounding us.

Maic looked at everyone and told them to run quickly towards the boat while we try to distract King Haylen. The others quickly responded to it by running there at great speed. 'They should be good.' Maic thought, before standing up with the guy that tried to negotiate with a evil king.

"Let's hold him off so the others can escape. Can you do that?"

"Of course I can, we can't let them die here now can we?"

"Sure sure. Let's just do this."

Both of them dashed towards King Haylen, with Maic assissting the guy by boosting him with the sand. He punched King Haylen, as he was finally sent flying a couple meters.

"You finally moved that guy!"

"Yeah, all thanks to my power!"

"With the power of friendship!"

"What?"

"Attack more idiot!"

Maic finally went serious mode, as he assisted the slave with maximum efficiency, deliberately throwing blows that sending him flying even further, forcing King Haylen to block. Maic added wood to his fists, along with manipulating the wood to be spiky once it hits something. Maic also uses the sand to make the slave not to lose balance and to move more swiftly just according to his footwork and how he wants it.

For now, they were safe. The slave was keeping him busy, fistfighting him in a fast paced speed. To they're horror, King Haylen's expression was serious, composed, and annoyed. But it seemed calm, but his vibe says otherwise.

While the slave was throwing punches, King Haylen caught his fists and swooped his feet off the sand as he gathered up momentum and he grew as flame rope. The flame rope began to extend in lengths, then, King Haylen faced the boat Which all of the slaves were sitting on with a frightened expression, he threw the slave in a swooping motion towards the slaves.

Maic tried to stop it, but the momentum was too great. King Haylen killed all the slaves in the boat. All the slaves were sent flying off the boat, with the slave he used to kill the other slaves was covered in blood. They were all dead, the slaves. As Maic fell to despair—he brushed it off but tears continued to flow still.

King Haylen let go of the rope, sending the slave towards a tree when Maic jumped towards him to save him from hitting that tree full force. He was gonna die if Maic didn't interfere, split in half. Maic leaped towards the boat as he landed smoothly in the boat with the remaining slave other than him in his hands. Maic quickly manipulated the water to accelerate the boat forward in great speed, disappearing in the ocean.

King Haylen watched them fade away into the ocean, as he felt insulted with both's actions against him. He felt as if they slapped him disrespectfully across the face with a grin. He gritted his teeth, his calm expression being no longer. He felt rage as they both escape, now King Haylen had another goal in mind.

To hunt down those two and kill them.
