"Help.. help me.."
A mourning sound, wincing in pain, calling for help, the town was battered, crippling into ashes by a cause of a deadly war.
Blood was scattered around in every directions, with fallen, lifeless knights in the dirty, muddy floor.
The smell of blood in the air, along with the intensity of the smoke, disgusts him, he had never seen this much destruction before.
It felt like hell, an actual hell, feeling of getting burned, and a hole punctured through his legs with a spear, nagging onto his leg, the town... was mostly chaotic and tarnished.
The enemy knights earlier have won the war, and reigned victorious, taking over 7 major towns in the kingdom, he had another feeling as he kept groaning in pain, enduring the deep wound on his leg, numb, but he felt something, a feeling of... Revenge.
"I'll end... every single one of those ruthless bastards... i'll... make sure... TO END THIS!!–"
Aftee finishing his final sentence, shouting as loud as he can, an enemy soldier noticed his sudden shout, throwing his spear with precision, onto a deadly blow to the right side of his head, just near the ear, pierced in and out of his brain.
"This...isn't...the...end..."
A moment of silence and darkness engulfed him.
'am i dead?...'
He thought, but it felt like he was still alive, but he couldn't feel his entire body, arms and legs. He couldn't feel them at all, it felt like an endless void of misery, it was... odd.
***
"Take them to the medical room!, the bodies whos heart are beating and alive to the surgical room fast!, healers and medics assemble!!"
A High-Medical Mage exclaimed, in all seriousness in his eyes, having faith to all of his companions.
"You got it!"
Numerous footsteps and shouts we're heard throughout the Hospital, a sound of Doctors, Nurses, Surgeons rushing and treating those who •survived• after the aftermath of the war.
Arin Valtor – the man who previously got pierced through the head, before, when the mage healers thought he was already dead, one checked his heartbeat.. it was still beating normally, with a deadly hole in, directly situated in the brain.
Speculations say that it missed his vital points of the brain, but that was later confirmed not true, as it actually pierced through numerous vitals, and nerves, when they X-rayed his head for a closer look.
Some say it was a miracle, but some say it was something else.
'I can... I can feel my arms!..'
He felt a warm sensation, like someone was holding his hand tightly.
Suddenly he could feel his entire body, like he was getting revived, then a shade of crimson light emerged from his dark vision.

{Congratulations you have passed the first trial, please proceed to the second.}
{} {} {}
A system appeared, it was quite... abnormal, instead of blue glowing rectangular shaped screen, it appeared both red and black in color, the floating panel glowed in aesthetic reddish black.
'Fuck... Am i dead or what?...'
He lifted his upper body, which is still aching because the pain hasn't neutralized fully. He looked around the room – it had white walls and glass floor, which is hard as heck unless it is hitted by a immensly powerful magic, and some furnitures, like a infirmary.
Sitting currently on a bed, inspecting everything.
Then, the system appeared right Infront of his eyes directly, showing his status – a Status window.

He flitched when he saw his current status.
'Breathing?!, are you serious System?'
'And those stats... Man I'm weak as fuck...'
He face slapped himself in disappointment, having low stats that can easily lead to his demise.
'But my ability... I only have a single ability... What is sanguine pyrokinesis anyways?, some sort of fancy magical power for me, a newbie to use?'
'Alongside with that, I'm the Son of Shadows?, what does the system mean by that?, I'm confused...'
'But aside that, my intelligence is very... High... I guess i really am a smartass huh?'
Noticing his Intelligence, he was proud of himself by it, but he was still surrounded by a mystery of puzzles questioning in his mind, he needed more information coming out from the system.
When his thoughts we're in deep thought [overthinking], questioning about the System, a healer came in, intervening his thoughts.
"Excuse me."
It was a girl – a beautiful one atleast, she had those magnifying eyes, with a circular greenish pupil, along with her sparkling long blue hair that smelled like perfume.
"Hm?, what is it?"
He asked politely, she firstly sat on the chair next to him, then, her tone gentle and soft.
"We're going off, all patients in this hospital needs to get out as soon as possible, unless if you wanna die."
"Why, all of the sudden?"
He asked again, more genuine.
"The Supremacists have detected a horde of beasts, possibly equal to Rank O."
She said whilst her finger was on her chin – a thinking pose, his eyes widen in surprise.
"Rank O?, you mean... Those beasts are insanely powerful as hell?"
She nodded her head lightly.
"Yes, those O-Ranked beasts opposes a threat to the Town, it may or may not get destoryed, but it's still better to evacuate first before the horde comes barging in like waterfall."
"Alright."
He was escorted out to the Hospital, his wounds not quite fully healed yet, when they got outside – it was already too late eventually.
A loud sound emerged, equal to a trumpet or a trombone, was heard throughout the entire town.
"The Beasts has come!, i repeat!, the Beasts has come!, Raising warning signal code Yellow!"
Warning code Yellow, it stands for Hostility, or Aggressive, like a horde coming and a battle of creatures, there are 7 types of warning signals confirmed by the kingdom.
"Code yellow?, that's the second most dangerous of all seven codes!"
He exclaimed when the warning signal was raised by the man behind the Speakers, who is active when there is unsettling, or occasional going on.
She looked around then found a spot where they could hide in for the time being, she took his wrist then dragged him to the small alleyway, he let out a small shout when she grabbed him.
"We're going to hide for minutes, if not, then hours, those O-Ranked beasts are a potential threat, the warning code might even raise to Red."
He was surprised by her knowledge, so he asked one thing curiously.
"What's your name?, you never told me."
She tilted her head towards him, with an impassive look, but also with a mix of nervousness.
"Ariella Ferria, I'm just a healer... Nothing much."
He noticed her sudden behavior, then they we're suddenly interrupted when an explosion was heard from a distance, possibly a large scale boom.
They took a small peek, then they saw the O-Ranked beasts on the town, they we're large and tall by size, growing up to 8 to 10 times massive then a normal human being, with silver fur that's probably fluffy and soft, having razor-sharp claws and teeth that can literally chomp off an entire human body. With their murderous Intent, an intent to wreck havoc within the town in a matter of minutes.
"Woah!, i didn't know those beasts we're that huge!"
"Well yes, those beasts have been roaming the world for a millennium, it hasn't gone extinct... Yet, those are called Silvertalons."
As she said casually, then a supremacist came by, with a sharp, glowing blue blade in his right hand, dashing on the streets of the town towards the beasts, 6 beasts noticed him charging towards at their direction.
In an attempt to crush him into bits by their relatively large paws, in a second, it was cutted into pieces by the supremacist, like he had activated easy mode on every gamemodes.
He leaps high in the air, his jump boost activating, higher then the Silvertalons, within the air, there was a sound of birds chirping, then, in a swift, yet gentle motion, one Silvertalon was killed immediately, it's head cut into uncountable pieces with just a "normal" sword that he is holding tightly.
His elegant white coat swiftly followed the direction of the wind, and something tagged in his chest.
[Ranked-A Supremacist]
"A Rank?!.."
Arin was baffled by how high his current Rank is, he can't even imagine how high his stats is!
"It seems it attracted an A Rank supremacist, leave it to him and he'll win easily."
Ariel knew that the supremacist would win due to it's high level, but couldn't help but imagine on 'will the tables turn?', that raised a question in her mind, with a sense of worry, while Arin, using his IQ of 210, analyzed every aspects of the Supremacist's movements and patterns, not visible or visible, he can tell.
'4 Transparent Small Dragons circled in his blade, thats probably a buff for his sword which makes it extra powerful then it is, alongside with his insane, yet remarkable strength, I'm not fully confirmed yet by how he does his tricks, he swings his sword so swiftly... like he has dedicated his entire soul, life, body entirely on that sword.'
Ariel suddenly patted his shoulder, leaving his thoughts wandering.
"Your thinking about something?"
"Nothing."
When the Supremacist successfully killed all of the Silvertalons, he was met with more of them, but this time it was off, until–

The system appeared Infront of him, surprising him, below his head, at the back of Ariel, her personal information shown directly.
'Damn... i really adore this system now, but this is equal to leaking someone's private information or ip...'
'But i wonder of her abilities... blessed of the moonlit shrine?, what kind of ability is that?...'
When he questioned on his mind curiously on her "unknown" abilities, she noticed him looking under her, thinking of him as a pervert in mind.
"Where are you looking at?..."
The system disspears right Infront of his eyes when she noticed his weird behavior, he looked up to her, having an expression mixed up of uncanny and disgust.
"Wait hold up!, you've got the wrong idea!–"
He was met with a hard smack in the head by Ariel.
'Nghhh... That hurts goddamn...'
They shifted their focus to the fight of the Supremacist, who was easily swinging his sword in the air like nothing, slicing and piercing through every single one of the Silvertalons.
"Fear not, i shall reign victorious."
The Silvertalons groaned loudly, a gluttonous groan, then all of the sudden – they ate each other, making the Supremacist and the two of them grossed out, it was awe shocking for them to witness this level of brutality and cannibalism Infront of their very own eyes.
Without further strengthening the Silvertalons, the supremacist charged at lighting speed, scathing his blade by his powerful attack that horrendously shook the air, causing a little shockwave that flows, thanks to his extraordinary high stats and high rank.
After the Supremacist sliced the Silvertalons, their deep red in color of blood, in the ground, dissolving, due to unexplainable circumstances that hasn't been profound fact for a thousand years that makes their body disspate.
He raised his damaged sword in the air, whlist looking up on the blueish elegant sky with different shapes of clouds, a sign of reigning victorious, admiring and considerate of his fight, then, Arin came up to him with an eagered expression.
"Excuse me mister!"
He lowered his sword when he heard a shout in his right ear, he titled his head towards the voice, then asked sincerely.
"Yes?, anything particular you want to ask?, or perhaps... Want?"
He offered, but Arin didn't come for that, instead.
"No mister!, i want to know your name first mister!"
Thats what he gladly asked for.
"My name is Lang... Just Lang, and i'am one of the five supremacist in this world, there are others who are far stronger then i."
Ariel barged into the conversation, walking towards their direction with a skeptical look, and a raised eyebrow. her arms crossed in her chest.
"So basically, there is an S rank to one of the five supremacist?"
Lang hesitated for a moment, then giving up the answer, nodding his head lightly with a passionate smile.
"Yes."
Arin let out a loud gasp, as if someone was far more outstanding then Lang, but comparing him to Lang, he knew he was just an ant compared to him, which made him felt ashamed, firstly, Lang questioned their Ranks.
"What are your names and your ranks are you two?, I'm just curious to know, I won't laugh or mock, my promises are locked and cannot be sold."
With a moment of hesitation to tell their current Rank, finally gathered up the courage to tell.
"My name is Ariella Ferria, i take my position as an healer or support!, i'm currently Ranked {W}, and Level {42}!"
"I.. I'm Arin Valtor, i don't have a position yet... but i'm currently Ranked {Z}, and Level {1}..."
Lang chuckled softly after they introduced themselves to him, putting a hand their shoulders, wearing white gloves to prevent his extraordinary power to be overused.
"Don't worry, you two have great potential to be a daughter... by being a {sage}, {enchanted}, {righteous}, {glorified}, or a {supremacist} like me."
Their hearts we're deeply intouched with his cherishing words, boosting their morale and confidence, simultaneously both talking, exclaiming.
"Yes sir, we'll make sure to be as great as you sir!, we'll never give up on our hopes and dreams!, we will beat those portals and dungeons ourselves like a team!"
"Alright, alright."
He puts his hand in both of their heads, then reciting a blessing, a poetry, with the most, beautiful voice known to man, closing his eyes.
"Oh shall the path of {radiance} come within those two, for safety, and blessing, {they} shall harden their vows, and prepare for what's to come..."
As he spoke, a gleam of blue light – equal to a spell appeared below their foot.
"You may now, live your life leveling up."
They we're teleported, further away from the town they'd been earlier, the beautiful chirping of the birds, laying down on the grass, then a hard crack suddenly was heard, like someone broke his bone, but to find out, it was just a small monster hiding in the grass.
