Chapter 21 - The Promised

On his way back home, Hagan had a lot to think about, he wondered about his sister, his father, and much more involving the Gods.

On the picture Hagan kept of his mother, the writing on the back was actually his sisters address, a few years ago Hagan had paid an informant to find his sister, Vedis, because he wanted to see her, see how she was doing, and if she was even alive still.

It took about three months to find her due to the meager information that Hagan knew about her whereabouts. Eventually, it was found that she was living in Unit B, one of the safest and best area in the city. Hagan had thought about visiting her, but as he had no identification, guardian, or even the clearance to get into Unit B, he was unable to visit her.

Since Hagan couldn't visit his sister, he decided to see if he could find his father, so he payed another informant quite a large sum of money and hoped for the best, all he knew about his father was that he had black hair, his name was Hiram, and he had lost an arm while conquering a Trial. With Hagan knowing his dad had lost an arm, but not which one, he hoped that the hint would expedite the process.

'I if I got scammed by that second informant or is my dads just that hard to find. If he di-'

"Promised! The Trials call out your name!"

The voice of The Speaker suddenly rang out in Hagans mind and he had momentarily been stunned as he did not expect The Speaker to call out to him.

'What the… is this supposed to happen!? And who is Promised!?'

Then a female voice rang into his mind: "The Gods has bestowed you a Title: The Promised. The Gods hope you are satisfied with this gift, Promised."

'Wait, the Gods… gave me a Title, The Promised?'

Hagan had no idea what was going on was was dumbfounded. The last thing he expected was to randomly receive a Title.

A Title was basically a testament of one's power, a way to prove that you were no weakling or idiot. However, Hagan already had so many overpowered Aspects and Keepsakes, and now he has a Title. Everyone who challenged a Trial wanted to receive a Title, however few ever did, and even fewer before their third Trial, let alone the first one!

Hagan quickly focused and made and had his Trial List appear before him.

Name: Promised

'It still won't use Hagan and now it's using Promised!? WHY!?'

Class: Tier 3, Flawless

Title: The Promised

'Okay, I uh, I really did get a Title. Wow. How?'

Hagan focused on the Title to see what exactly it meant for him.

The Promised: Due to your noble and selfless sacrifice to the Gods, the Gods of Shaodws, Light, The Skies, The Sea, War, and Time, along with "…" have blessed you with their power. You must restore "…"'s Lineage. The Gods expect you to discover their true names. In order to keep your Title, you must find the names, restore the Lineage, and purify.

'What the hell does it mean by purify? Gods, what have you given me!? I need to find their names, I need to first find out who "…" is then restore his Lineage, and now I have to purify! How would one even go about purifying the Trial?'

'Why are the Tirals calling out to me anyway…'
