Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 - The Beginning

This story begins with the fall of a once glorified kingdom,which is now on the brink of annihilation.

Cursed by the gods who rule over this damned world,there was a once beautiful black castle so big that it can even touch the sky.The castle was made of some unknown black metal but it was so shiny and clean it was like looking at a mirror.It was so massive in size that I can't even be measured normally.It had a big black door in front of it.The door was so big as if it was made for some giant to pass through.From outside it might look scary but inside it was warm and it had lots of light Illuminating the hallway.At end of the hallway was a massive room filled in darkness.

At the end of the room there was a silver-coloured throne.In the back of the throne there was a symbol which was a silver and golden-coloured sword placed diagonally and in the middle was a crimson rose.The throne is so mesmerising that one can just watch it all day and not feel bored.This throne was also made by some unknown pristine metal but it was more shiny than the castle walls.The light of crimson moon was seeping through a mirror behind the throne.As the moonlight falls upon the throne it was like the throne was a furiously glowing star deflecting the light in all directions

In that throne sat a man wearing a golden armour with a serpent like dragon hovering around him.The armour had the same symbol as the throne.The man had long silver hair reaching to his back and Purple eyes.His eyes was like that of a dead man like he has lost all purpose to live.He had deathly pale white face and a scar from top to bottom in his left eye.He had a Azure-coloured sword in his hand.The craftsmanship of the sword was nothing but incredible.It was like some unknown power is burrowed inside it.

In front of him there were 3 men and 3 women standing with a attacking position at if they are ready to behead someone.They all were wearing a hoodie.So there was no way to separate them.All of them placed their weapon aiming at the golden armoured man to attack him.

The man in golden armour while laughing shouted ,"I did everything I could for this god forsaken empire.I took all of you in,gave you a place to stay and hone your skills so that you can become a sword for the civilians and this is how you repay me?"The man stood up.

One of the man from the group of 6 said with a deep voice with no feeling of guilt,"It's certainly not our fault your majesty.If you want to blame someone blame those above us.After all we are just a pawn to a greater force.There are things beyond our comprehension.So for our sake please die now."As he finished,

One of the woman shouted,"ATTACK".

Then the 6 of them launched forward while the man in golden armour ordered his pet dragon to obliterate them.Suddenly that dragon transformed becoming a golden and silver coloured dragon.Then along with the dragon the man also went forward.

The man was giving them a tough time it was like there was no way to overpower him.He was deflecting all of their attack with ease.His strength was enough to push them back.His sword attacks filled with magic was strong enough to cut through the castle walls.Still as the opponent had mages as well swordmasters and as they had a number advantage,the man was being pushed back.

A massive battle went on with both team getting massive damages but it seemed the man in golden armour was fatally wounded by the magic casted by the ,ages while he was dealing with the knights.Still it was not enough to push him back.Along with his dragon he started retaliating violently like he has gone berserk.Scared by the sudden change in strength the group of 6 suddenly started chanting something in some foreign language.

Suddenly layers of magic ring appeared over the castle and mana started gathering at a singular point as if it was going to shoot a cannonball, feeling that something was not right the man in golden armour lunged forward with his azure sword.

The man shouted,"Let's finish this." Suddenly the dragon merged with the sword and it became a black sword with a dragon face at the hilt and a great amount of mana began swirling around the sword like tornado.

As the chant ended the six of them shouted together,"those who travels through space, heed our call , we call upon the darkness of the dead stars STELLAR BLAST."At that instant the man in golden armour shouted ,"Not so fast.God Slayer 2nd form HEAVEN'S STRIKE."

As both of the attacks clashed together, a big explosion happened which destroyed the castle and everything surrounding it.As the aftermath of the explosion ended a message was suddenly being written in the sky,"END OF THE COSMIC ERA AND THE BEGINNING OF THE END.HE SHALL DESCEND UPON THE FORSAKEN LAND .

Fifteen Thousand Years Later.

In a prospering land where only riches can enjoy the world and the poor work till the moment they die.That's the kind of place this is.This place has big buildings,companies,corporations,associations,cult,church etc…

This is the place every one dream to live in.Utopia for humanity EDEN,The capital of AETHERIAL EMPIRE.But it also has it's own darkness and corruption as all empire generally does.AETHERIAL empire is the most advanced empire in this EASTERN CONTINENT.Starting with flying veichles,wormholes,endless energy sources etc.That's why it called the utopia for all the humanity.But what the people does not know is the gruesome darkness hidden behind the city.

Behind the city is where they leave all the trashes of work places contaminate the area but this also the place where poor humans who can't afford to stay at Eden or were deemed as trashes stay.The Slums where poor people are dying by hunger.In this place lived a abandoned boy with Black hair.His eyes were dark red,it was as if this boy carried a immense darkness behind his eyes.It's as if looking in his eyes might actually kill you.He was so thin like he has not eaten in weeks or he is not getting enough nutrition.But his skin colour was like that of a normal human not deathly pale white like other peoples in the slum so many might not think that he is from the slums.

At first one might think this is a normal world but it has a horrendous backstory .

Around 1000 years ago the world was introduced to a system known as BEYONDER.Along with the system appeared demons and monsters known as TERRORS.This terrors reside in the western continent and Aetherial empire is at the forefront between eastern and western continent .

To fight against the terrors some humans were given abilities on par to the terrors,that's how humans entered the era of super humans known as Saint.As the saints grew in power they established many noble houses.

The orphan boy is from one of those houses.The house of the First Saint "Eogon Raven",the Raven Duchy.

In this world those who are given abilities have to go through a tutorial and those who die in the tutorial becomes a gateway for other worldly beings to come to this world.This otherworldly beings are far stronger than average terror,they are considered as calamities which can wipe out humanity.So new saint's who haven't passed their tutorial must stay under the watch of Full-fledged saints so that the saints can kill them if they were to die in the tutorial.

The boy from the slums walked through the roads of Eden in order to find a branch of saint association so he can inform them about his tutorial.As Eden is mostly the city of riches,they absolutely detest those living in the slums.As the boy walked along the sideways of the road he was constantly being given a look of disdain by the citizens.

The boy thought to himself,"Look at these shity bastards,they think they are gods or something just because they live at the capital.Just wait you all if I become a saint you all would bow and respect me."

After reaching the police station he informed them of his tutorial then he was taken to a basement.After waiting sometime a woman appeared in the basement.She had dark red hair with some white strips at the end and she had dark green eyes.Looking at her eyes feels like looking at a serpent.She was atleast 6 foot tall and her massive body was like that of a giant.She had muscles even more than wrestlers.She was wearing a orange top and jeans.She was as beautiful as an idol.Then she suddenly said,"Let me introduce myself.I am Caulifa Arden.So are you the brat who will undergo the tutorial,it seems we have to kill some otherworldly creatures today."

The boy was certainly not pleased by that and was somewhat frustrated.

Looking at him Caulifa said,"So what's your name,brat?"

The boy answered with a murderous look in his eyes,"My Name is ARGON....ARGON RAVEN,the abandoned child of the Raven duchy,nice to meet ya muscle freak…"
