He had gained many names as well, Devil's son, prince of the dead, war king, blade devil, and so much more. He once was a man who killed for justice and freedom. He was a holy knight that prayed and believed in the righteous way. Everything collapsed when the people he worked for sent him to kill innocent people who didn't worship the same god as them. It was a mindless slaughter and he...loved it. He loved it with all his might. When it end he wanted more and so killed his men. Destroyed his kingdom, and killed his leaders. He was now his own man and he used it well. He killed many more. He found new men who were as crazy as him and he destroyed empires. He never found himself a kingdom to rule and saw it as boring. He would rather remain on the battlefield. For years his name spread throughout the the world and many feared him.

Alexander dodged an attack from his left and strike a dog with his left sabre. The dog's torso was wounded and it bleed to dead. Alexander was still surrounded by four dogs, he was out of breath and his mana was close to zero. Around them was a number of dogs a total of four dead ones. Alexander was covered in blood. He was not only wounded but was tired. The was one in front, one at his left, one at his right, and the last behind him.

"If I do this then I will be out of mana completely, but what the hell!" He shouted and his shadow split into four and covered the eyes of the dogs. He dashed towards the the dog in front then strike it's neck killing it immediately then jumped backwards using the sabre to stab the one at the left head. The other two dogs started to run towards him which told him that he was out of mana. He dashed towards them and jumped landing and strapped one of the dogs and strike the other sending it flying. He jumped back and ones he landed he immediately dash towards the one he stepped on and moved his Sabres in all directions to kill it. He looked in the direction of the one he sent flying and noticed that it was hit it's head and died. He fell immediately on his knees.

"No Alexander. Don't, not now" He was out of stamina but he couldn't rest. He had the small of blood on him and he needed to move. He used th sabre as support and left the site immediately. He arrived at a small pond. He washed himself and went to rest at a hidden place among the trees. He closed his eyes to rest.

An hour later he woke up and sighed. His mana and stamina was coming back to him but he still had some wounds on his body and he needed to treat it once he returned home.

"System, show me." He ordered and a screen appeared in front of him displaying information.

He had increased in level by a lot but it was still not enough.

"Hey system, when do I increase my class?" Alexander asked.

"When you reach level 100 then the level will restart with a new class." The system answered.

His mana too had increased by a lot. He could only move his shadow and make it cover the eyes of people and creatures but once the creature was far powerful that him then he it wouldn't work.

"System, how many skill points do I have now?"

Skill points: 3

"Maybe that's enough to buy a skill? Show me the skill tree." He said and the screen showed him a tree with many fruits. These fruits had skills written in them.

"At my level what skill can I get?"

He looked through and noticed that these skills were level 1 lower tier skills. He then noticed three skills.

'This skill allows me to swiftly move forward, gaining a temporary speed boost. The cooldown is relatively short, allowing for frequent use. However, the mana cost is moderate, requiring some management of the my mana resources.' Alexander thought as he checked the next skill.

Alexander sighed and decided to compare them all.

'Wait, what is there to compare. It obvious which one I should pick.' He thought with a smile.

Suddenly a beautiful yellow apple shaped fruit appeared in his hands. He smile and began to eat. As he ate he felt a great amount of energy and information enter his head.

*Congratulations on gaining your first skill.*

He smile and noticed that there was a normal looking dear drinking from the pond. He smiled and checked his mana capacity which was already half way full.

He took out one of his sabre and waited for the perfect opportunity. After sometime he moved.

*Dash*

In a moment he appeared beside the dear and strike it's neck. The dear didn't even know what killed it.

Alexander smiled feeling satisfied with the end results. He got himself ready and left the forest. He still had wounds which needed treating.

When he got home his servants clean his wounds and dressed it for him. He was feed and given medicines to help him sleep well and decrease the pain.
