Ruby X Emerald

"Not the hero the world hoped for, but the villain it never saw coming." Humanity is at war with the Dowolf Beasts, a relentless race that nearly wiped out civilization. Two years ago, ominous signs heralded their return: Dowolf portals reappeared, and warships emerged from the depths of space. Once more, the Dowolves have come to claim what remains of the world. The long war has twisted human society, driving people to pursue power at any cost. Greed and fear have turned even the innocent into ruthless power hunters, willing to destroy anyone who stands in their way. Kaiza, a young man born into this broken world, knows the cost of this struggle all too well—his parents were slain by these very hunters. Fleeing from their clutches, Kaiza stumbles upon an underground cave, its entrance mysteriously unlocked by a drop of his blood. Inside, he finds himself drawn into a strange game-like dimension, faced with a series of deadly puzzles. Solving them offers unimaginable power, but with a grave warning: failure means death, and refusing to play is not an option. Driven by grief and a thirst for vengeance, Kaiza is willing to risk everything. With each puzzle he conquers, he inches closer to avenging his parents and uncovering the truth behind his destiny. But in a world where power corrupts, Kaiza must decide: Will he become a hero—or succumb to the darkness within? Cover art is not mine.

Ongoing~~ Thunder struck loudly admist the harsh rain, as Raven's killer slowly lifted his hood off his face. "Ryles?" Raven's voice held a note of surprise, as he looked up at the man in front of him, with a shock filled face. "Tell me, what are you doing here in Mythoria?" Ryles bent to his level to hear him speak, but Raven didn't attempt to Open his mouth. His vibrant green eyes, glowing in the dark, and reflecting the sillhouette of Ryles. Tension hung in the air, both dreading what was to come next. The occasional flash of lightning did nothing but enhance the menacing look of Ryles as he loomed over Raven. Raven was smart enough not to struggle, he instead remained as still as wood 'They wouldn't kill me right? , they still need me ' Raven thought to himself but even he realized how stupid that sounded. "why? " was all he breathed out, despite having so much to say. He was smart enough to understand that, Ryles showing up like this meant he was ordered to kill him. He just couldn't understand why... " Ask master himself" was Ryles' response as he drove a dagger into Raven's chest. His scream was accompanied by a loud thunder, and suddenly it was as if his strength had returned. He pushed Ryles' off with so much force that something like light blasted out of his hands and sent Ryles' flying to hit a tree. Blood spurted out of his mouth immediately as he curled in pain for a split second, his pupils dilated. Raven was beyond shocked as he didn't understand how he had come to posses such powers. It was like something deep within him was unlocked. Immediately getting up on his feet, he began sprinting with insane speed, despite the overwhelming pain coming from his chest. He didn't dare pull out the dagger as he was well accustomed with these type of poisoned weapons. Ryles' had also sprinted after Raven immediately, this time drawing out his sword as he didn't know what other dangerous trick the boy would pull again. Ryles couldn't deny that he was surprised, as he never knew Raven could be this powerful. The kid had hidden himself quite well. Maybe that was why master wanted him dead. The heavy rainfall made it hard to see or keep track of the boy, but Ryles' was well trained to use his other senses and he spotted Raven above, sprinting stealthily but slowly from tree to tree. " smart, aren't you?" Ryles smirked at the boy's intelligence. That was why it had been hard to track him, He leapt off the ground, flicking poisoned blades which accurately hit and cut him deeply across the shoulder Another pained cry filled the forest as Raven lost balance and fall with a thud, Ryles without wasting time descended on him and drove his sword into his gut. Thunder struck loudly, as a moment of silence passed with them holding each other's gaze. Blood slowly gushed out and flowed to the edge, dropping down into the deep waters below, reminding them both that they were at the edge of a cliff. " I'm sorry but you have to die" Was the last thing he heard......
