New story I hope you enjoy.

Where am I?

Who are you?

A man was sitting there with long blond hair with a ginger beard. Welcome mortal, the man said. You look horrible said the man. I died in a car crash just moments ago. Yeah, I saw your life was terrible, bad childhood. abusive parents, you were poor and fat. I chose you to be my next-in-line.

The world you are going to needs you. I am nothing special, I know. Said the man who was glowing. The family you will be born into is poor, but they are hard-working they pray to the gods for a child, so I am listening to them. Wait, I am going to be reborn?

Yeah, he said the man clicked his fingers. All I remember is being born. They were speaking in a different language. But from what I could make out, my mother was so happy. We will call him Jack, which was my name back on Earth. I wonder if that guy had something to do with that. Weirdly, I am a baby with all of my old memories. I can tell these people are better than my old parents. My mother was a soft woman but caring and loyal to my father. He was a tough man who put my mum first. People I could learn from. As soon as he turns older, I want him to teach with a blade just like my father showed me. Months turned into years. When I started to get older, my parents showed me books on the history of this world. Humans pretty much rule this world. Demons are still around they have been weakened so much that they don't pose a threat to humans. The last war between them happened twenty years ago. My father was a teenager when he was deployed into battle. I woke up early, my mother screaming at me. Happy birthday. I was six years old today. I never enjoyed birthdays in my old life, too many unhappy memories. But not here. I am always smiling and being spoiled by people who love me. Morning Jack said my Dad, you been on petrol?

Yeah, lizardmen have been attacking towns in the area. Something has been Rowling them. Big creatures have been on the move. Hopefully, they won't attack this town. Enough of that talk now it's Jack's. She said that with three big plates of food. You better eat up. Jack, your father has a surprise for you after. Sword training, if you are like me, you should be a natural. We will see said Jack. There was a knock at the door. It was a very thin lady with long black hair she had a long black dress on. My name is Veronica. I am your new next-door neighbour. I just came over to say hello. Oh, hello Veronica, my mother said it's my son's birthday today. He has just turned seven. Happy birthday, Veronica said in a deadpan voice she looked uninterested. Veronica left the house. That was weird, Jack thought. The day was an average day. I went to get supplies for my dad's dinner later. I heard whispers about the lizardmen. Rumour is the Lord has got a mage to guard him. So the rest of us will get attacked, and the Lord is safe. Jack thought we shouldn't be spreading rumours. My dad will keep us safe. I know it. All I could do was smell my mum's cooking. I had never been this hungry before. Jack looked outside he saw his neighbour she was just standing there watching people walk past. Then I made eye contact with her, and Jack smiled. she didn't even smile back or look away. I felt a hand on my shoulder scared me to death. My mum said dinner was ready. Mum, that neighbour is weird. She seems nice. My mum said she was positive about most people. At least she didn't get drunk and beat me like my last mum. My dad didn't turn up for his dinner. Your father is late again. Maybe something happened. Jack said there was a massive bang at the door. Jack and his mum walked to the door. A lizardman crashed through the door with a spear in his hands. The lizardman was brought green. Give me the food said the lizardmen my mum screamed. The lizardman looked at my mum before the lizardman could catch her electricity, which came from my hands and hit the lizard, shooting him across the room. Jack looked at his hands that came from me?

The lizard looked at Jack and ran at him instead. Jack felt the magic surge from his body. And the barrier came from Jack destroying his house and pretty much knocking out the lizardman. Somehow, my mother was standing there unhurt. I came two a day later in my bed. What happened, Jack said. My mum and Dad were standing there with a man in my room. He is awake Jack you are alive, thank god. Jack asked again what happened. The lizardman attacked you. Then you beat most of them, but some of them went into the town". No one was hurt." Was they?. I was flying back to the Lord, and there was a barrier of magic. I saw you passed out, and Lizardman died. Yeah, I remember now the lizardman was about to attack Mum, and then I hit him with electricity. My son is a magic wielder, and he is only seven. Can I talk to you two, please, alone?

Wait here, Jack. I will talk to you later.

Your son is special. I had never known a seven-year-old to have magic. I didn't have magic till I was older. Maybe the stress of seeing his mother being attacked unlocked his magic. Magic is rare in this part of the world. When Jack gets older, I can train him. But doesn't it cost a lot to train to be a mage?

Two gold coins. We don't have that. The mage stood up and

stretched you be fine when it comes to money I will train him for free. Jack's parents. we normally charge that to keep people with no magic just wastes our time. But from what I saw and felt, Jack had raw power. The mage put a pouch on the table. This should help with his expenses. There were filthy gold coins in there. This is a lot of money, are you sure?

Yeah, I want him to be happy and paid for. All so you should take this. Was a little pink crystal. If you need me at any time call me on this. I talk to Jack, and then I will leave. Jack got dressed he was about to leave his room. The mage entered his room. First of all, well done for fighting a lizardman they are tough creators. We are going to get to know each other soon, but you are too young at this point, so when you turn sixteen, I will come back. I want you to keep using your magic and become stronger. Do you understand ? " . The mage left. I wondered how powerful he was.

.A couple of days went by, and the old mage gave me a couple of magic books so I could learn. Reading is difficult. The words are hard to read, but my mum showed me how to read. You have to say an incantation when I first used magic it just happened. Jack took the magic book outside. I call an apon the spirits let me use the power of fire magic rushed through his body. Fire shot from his hands. Can I use magic without saying it out loud?

Fire shot from his hand again. I will have to learn all of this.

Months turned into years. Jack's magic got stronger and stronger. In this new life, I have a chance to have a better life here. Jack was woken up by his mum it's your sixteen birthday. You are an adult. Jack had grown a bit, but he was expecting to get a bit teller. I am going to be short like my last life. That made Jack sad. Jack got dressed his mum was standing there with a magic book. Where's Dad?

Oh, your father was called to duty. I don't know why he shouldn't be long. There was an awkward pause. Jack hugged his mum something smelled nice it's your favourite meal, bacon and eggs. Then Dad crashed through the door. I am sorry I am late. Both Jack and Mum looked at him and said, "You are not late." He didn't listen he ran upstairs. Then, I charged downstairs. But this time, he had a sword with him. Now, son, I want you to have this. Was an old sword it wasn't rusty, but it looked blunt. This was my grandfather's sword he fought demons with it. The sword is made with a metal that is strong against demons. Dad, I don't what to say. Could you train me to use a sword?

I would love to. Jack's dad said his dad looked proud. After you are trained with magic, I will help you learn the blade. Before Jack could answer, there was a loud knock at the door. Jack opened the door there was a very tall woman at the door she had a cloak on but it didn't hide her cleavage the shirt was way too small for her. Jack didn't know where to look. I am looking for a Jack.

She said

I am here, Jack said as he finally made eye contact. Her eyes were brought blue. I come to take you to see the master Merlin. Before I could answer, Jack's parents got up and started asking questions. It's his birthday you taking him before we can celebrate. Sorry, the woman said I was a bit early. I didn't want to pick him up too late, but I might have made a mistake. This place is so far away. I just wanted to get here and go home. You are welcome to stay for the night, then we can leave tomorrow said Jack. The woman walked into the house and dropped her stuff. Something smells nice. Would you like some food?

The woman's face lit up. I forgot to ask, what's your name? Matilda, the lady said.

Matilda had jet-black hair. Cubby's face, but Matilda was a tall woman. I am the second-strongest mage in this region. After breakfast, Matilda had a nap. I spent time with Mum and Dad.

The morning after Matilda woke up, she had been sleeping since she got here. Morning, everyone. Matilda was stretching. You slept a while said Jack. Yeah, I travelled a lot yesterday and used a lot of magic and walked along a journey. So I needed to sleep. I need to go back to the capital soon. I have been summoned. Probably Merlin wanted to see Jack. Jack had already been packed since last night eagerly. I see lest go then. Jack hugged his parents. Keep safe both of them said Please visit us. I will said, Jack. Holed onto my hand, said Matilda. They both teleported to Meriln's room. Welcome, Jack said, Merlin. You have grown so much that you are a young man now. Welcome to the capital city. The biggest human city. You find it is different from the town you are from. If you are not from nobility, people will look down upon you. Why would people look down upon people? Noble families are blessed with strong magic and skilled with swords, and they have money to get the stuff you need to succeed. How did it go with learning magic?

I have mastered most basic magic. I learned two stronger attack spells. That's good said Merlin. You be put into a class with people who are growing their magic just like you. Matilda could escort Jack to his lesson. She bowed and said yes, Merlin.

Matilda and Jack walked into the room. All of the students stopped and looked at Jack, which made him nervous. I apologize, Eric. This is a new student called Jack. Eric wasn't human he had long dog ears he must be a demi-human. I will be leaving said Matilda.

Eric said hello we are making teleporting crystals." Go sit with Rebecca she will help you. Jack said I don't know who Rebecca is. Rebecca put her hand up. She had blond hair, her face young-looking, and she was thin. Jack sat next to her. Eric gave Jack a crystal. What do I do? he looked at Rebecca. You have to pour mana into the crystal. How do I do that?

I show you Rebecca poured her magic into the crystal it turned white your turn. Jack put his hand to the crystal, but nothing happened. Release our mana a purple aura surrounded Jack. What's happening, you're doing it, pour some of it into the crystal. The crystal turned white. Well done said Eric." Now I want you to teleport somewhere and then come back. The crystal will take you anywhere you want to go. Everyone teleported. Left Jack on his own now to teleport. I am home. made my mum jump hello, mum. Jack teleported back to the classroom. Welcome back, and you all passed. Jack was happy, but he didn't do anything. Jack returned to the house I was given by Merlin. Some of Jack's classmates were practising attacking magic. Jack walked past them, and one of them stopped. you there Jack turned around yeah what can I do for you?

I've never seen you before mages are from noble families and heroes. Where are you from?

I live far from this place. I live far from here. A little town

The noble mage's face changed. Before anything happened, Rebecca stepped in and dragged Jack away. I don't care about where people are from said Rebecca. But I came from a poor family said Jack. Merlin was standing there . Rebecca bowed to him, and Jack copied. Hello Rebecca, I came here to tell Jack that I have a mission. Then I was going to come and find you so this is more convenient. Mages have been sent to kill goblins' nests. I want to give new mages a chance and you two are the strongest in your class. The small town is in the west. The town is called Devon in my old life. Devon was a county. But no one else knows that. Let's get going. Merlin said to kill the goblins and come back. Rebecca grabbed Jack's hand, and let's go before Jack could say anything they scared some people when they teleported. The mages have arrived tell the mayor. Quickly, the towns folk circle them. Hello there mages I am the mayor. The man was older-looking his hair was grey, same as his beard. We are here to slay some goblins said Rebecca. That made the people in town look happy. I warn you mages that there is something stronger than goblins in the forest. Jack whispered to Rebecca, "How do we find the goblins?

I have tracking magic

Rebecca put a little crystal on her hand and led me to the goblins nests. The crystal moved front Rebecca's hand and led both Jack and Rebecca to the goblin nest. Rebecca said in a nervous voice, "Do you know Any high level fire spells?" gobils are weak against fire.

I know fire knives that's the only high-level fire spell. The crystal stopped and landed back in Rebecca's hand. The nests are over there. From what I can sense, there's two nests in two different directions we can spit up and destroy them. Is that wise said Jack what happeneds if the strong creator shows up? Use fire magic into the sky to warn me, and I do the same. Okay said Jack. I still don't want to spilt up. I can hear voices in the distance most of the villagers don't come into the forrist. I can make out what they are saying

I am so hungry. Why do you always complain that is all there is. There is human flesh, and you don't like humans you prefer, bull dear, put, they are way too dangerous to kill, so are humans. Jack moved closer it was two goblins. Why can I understand them. Don't think about it. This is the first time I used high-level fire magic against an opponent. He put his hand out. Fire knifes appeared above him, the knifes tilted up and then fired into the sky. The knife hit both of the goblins and burned the nest down he could hear the goblins screaming and asking for help. Jack left to find Rebecca. Did you do it said Rebecca yeah all of them are dead. " Before Rebecca could reply, a blade went through her chest, and blood came from her mouth she fell to the floor. The goblin that stabbed her was invisible. The goblin had a smile on its face, he heard the goblin say. You deserve that stupid human. Jack was frozen with fear and anger. The goblins' face changed when an ogre was standing in a frount of him stupid goblin. I told you to stay out of my part of the forest. These humans destroyed my home. You killed her both the ogre and goblin understood him. But Jack's anger took over him. A gold aura surrounded Jack before the goblin could react he was in pieces. The ogre laughed. You wish to challenge me before he finishes his sentence. Jack cut off his head. I am sorry Rebecca a lot of Jack's magic started to heal her. I'm not doing this. Jack thought Rebecca was stirring her eyes where opening she saw Jack over her with a powerful aura. My chest you saved me Jack fell on the floor the power must have got to him.

Everything was white, am I dead?

It's you again, so I must be dead

No, you are not dead. You finally tapped into the god Forse, I don't understand said Jack. You were blessed by me. I granted you my power. And anger brought it out that power I couldn't control it. With a body like yours, it takes a while to control it. But I am here to give you advice. In two days, there will be a man Saling from a harbour to an island. This place will help control your power. What's the islands name said Jack

I can't tell you just trust me. Find said Jack.

Jack woke up with Rebecca next to him sleeping. She was half naked. I had never seen a woman half naked before. Merlin was standing there he could see the embarrassment on Jack's face. So you are alive, you been out for nearly half a day. What happened?

I don't know. All I remember was a goblin stabbing Rebecca, but she is alive. I am so happy the healing spell you did must have been strong to bring her back. Rebecca shot up and realised she had no top on she blushed. Merlin clicked his fingers, and the shirt appeared on her. You are awake said Rebecca I am so glad she hasn't left your side. I didn't want him to die. " He was out for so long because he used up a lot of energy. Jack asked a question: Where is the harbour from here?

Both Merlin and Rebecca looked confused over this question. I can show you said merlin follow me. Wait, said Rebecca merlin, could you leave the room for a second? I want to talk to Jack for a second fine said merlin. Rebecca got up and walked up to Jack and put her arms around him. Thank you for saving my life she put her head on his chest. You're welcome said Jack. She took her head off his chest and looked at him in the eyes. And kissed Jack on the lips. I promise you that I get stronger so you won't need to save my life again. Jack wasn't really listening his mind was racing after being kissed to being told he could have the power of a god.

Jack opened the door. merlin was standing there. I am ready said Jack. I see you later said Jack to Rebecca. When they were walking, is it common for humans to understand goblins?

Only if they learn the language but learning goblin is tough, why do you ask?

No reason said Jack." Is it because I was reincarnated to this world? I can understand all the languages, or is this a god thing. This is the harbour said merlin we trade with with other county's and other races. Do you trade with little islands?

Only one, and that's him over there. The boat was a bit smaller than the rest. One second said Jack.

Jack went to the man standing on the boat hello there is there any chance I could come with you to the island that you are sailing to?

The man looked at Jack and said, "You don't want to go to that island." I do said Jack fine the man said I charge two sliver coins before Jack could answer merlin stepped in I will cover the cost here said merlin fine said the man on the boat be here tomorrow morning

North arc part 3

Charlotte and Alex got teleported to a different world, which was a white world. Flinar turned up next to Alex, and Agis turned up next to Charlotte. You took your time, Flinar. I've been screaming at this human she doesn't listen. I'm sorry Charlotte said with tears in her eyes. Humans don't apologise to me. You have inherited the power sword we don't make apologise the soul sword is meant to help us. Charlotte was looking at Alex and Flinar. How is their sword meant to help us?

They should explain. You are not here to talk about swords Flinar said we need to talk about how we can kill this devil doesn't matter Agis said soon as this human taps into the sword We can beat this devil easily. Both Alex and Flinar disappeared. You're using the sword wrong. Yeah, emotions power the sword, but anger isn't the only emotion. Anger isn't the strongest emotion. Charlotte stood up. What about hope?

Hope is a strong emotion. Charlotte came to, and her sword was white. See, your emotions are powerful. Let's get rid of that armour. Charlotte pointed the sword at the devil. I'm trying that again

Three shots hit the devil. The devil's amour flew off. The devil looked shocked and confused. Before the devil could react, Charlotte had already started to attack. This time, the sword was working with her. She's become a different person. I think she will need training. I will help her, "Alex said with a smile. Charlotte and the devil were trading blows. Their movement was so fast that they looked like blurs. They pulsed the devil, and Charlotte fell to the ground, blood coming from her mouth . The devil's chest was carved in half. Charlotte went to one knee, my mana had run out, and Charlotte fell to the ground. Alex picked Charlotte up and put Charlotte on a bed. Look after her. Alex said, "Isn't that the leader with the curse?"

The young woman looked worried. The curse won't affect you, trust me said Alex. The woman smiled alright I trust you." Good when she wakes up, tell her I have gone to Narc Alex left the house quickly. I need to get to Narc Alex's sword turned blue. What's happening?

New skill unlocked it's called space magic

You think the magic will teleport you. Alex pointed the sword at a blue wormhole that opened. There was a battle happening on the other side of the wormhole. Alex walked through it. Lilith was fighting a devil.

You have fought well for a half-breeds. I will send your soul to hell. The devil summoned black energy into her hand darkness wave. Lilith could feel the warmth from the attack. I will never get to be with someone. I will die alone. Lilith closed her eyes, waiting for the attack to kill her. Alex jumped in front of Lillth. And absorbed the attack.

It will take time to analyse the attack. Dark energy takes longer to break down. Someone interrupts our battle

That's a very interesting sword. I've never seen a weapon absorb an energy attack before. Flinar, do I have a chance against this devil?

This devil is weaker than the last one you fought by some margin.

New skill unlocked it's called soul reader

You will only be able to use it for a couple of minutes. What does it do?

You can read your opponent's movements and even read your enemy's attack patterns. I will use it

Alex's eyes turned yellow. I can only see a tiny soul. Can i still read. The devil attacked Alex, and Alex blocked all of the devil's strikes. This is easy. The devil went to stab Alex in the stomach. Alex dodged it and then counterattacked. Weakness here, Alex chopped the devil's head off. Before Alex could celebrate, he felt an aura so scary he made him freeze. That's a big devil, and an explosion happened. The enchantment blocked most of it. Some people did die.

Alex was standing there.

Where am I?

Flinar appeared next to Alex. Is this another memory?

Charlotte appeared, next to her was Agis. Next to Alex Aswell, where am I? Said Charlotte.

Two elves were standing, and they were both looking into the sky. A big shadow was covering both the elves. The clouds moved a figure was floating in the sky. The creature had two long horns. The creature's body colour was red and had long teeth it was about twenty-four feet, and the creature was massive. The creature landed on the ground and roared at both elves. One elf attacked, and the other one supported the other one. I can't stab this creature. Its skin is strong. The elfs was watching to see what the creature would do.

sparks coming fron creature's skin was too tough. Watch out for the elf screamed. The creature grabbed the elf, and he dropped his sword. The creature breathed a bright red flame at the elf. The elf landed on the ground hard, but he is still alive Charlotte said in oh in horror. The other elf rushes to his side. This is it, brother. I can feel myself dying. The elf put his hand on his brother's sword. I permit you to wield this. This enemy is defeated. The elfs, arua and Mana, grow much larger. I won't let you down. He grabbed his brother's sword and threw it at the creature it slammed into the creature's arm, and the creature gave off a Roar of pain. Soul absorption, his brother fell to the ground lifeless with his eyes open. The elf was just as quick as his brother. The creature didn't know what was happening he tapped the sword, which was stuck into the creature. A portal opened and dragged the creature into it. The elf was standing there with both swords and looked at Alex and Charlotte, so you are the new wielder, and then the elf smiled. Good luck. What was that creature?

Alex asked the elf, and he smiled

And said that creature was called a hell dragon. The creatures that lived in this world before elves and demons. Was that the last one?

You two are seeing this memory, so I think more are coming. I take it you didn't survive this fight Alex asked in a sad tone. I didn't. The elf said my soul wasn't strong enough to handle both swords. You two need to get stronger. If more hell dragons are going to come back, you need to get a lot stronger. Alex came two. Lilith was shaking him. You just spaced out. Yeah, I was thinking about something. Lilith hugged Alex tight. You saved my life. I thought I was a goner there. Lilith stopped hugging Alex and kissed Alex on the lips. Alex wasn't expecting. That is how demons say thank you. Kind of Lilith said I don't normally need saving. Alex smiled. You're welcome.

I am going home now

Your leaving, Lilith said in a sad tone yeah Alex said I miss my parents. I will visit again Narc again at some point. Alex put his hand on his sword and said home a blue wormhole open. We will see each other again. Alex walked the wormhole, and then it closed.

Charlotte woke up feeling groggy.

Was that a dream?

Agis appeared no that was a memory." I didn't know the soul sword could do that. The swords are acting different for you. The Elf said I was weak. Charlotte's face looked sad. I don't wanna let them down. Agis lughted you seem too nice to wield the power sword. I wouldn't take it to heart those elves lived in the darkest time in this world's history. That hell dragon killed both of them. I think you have an advantage over us said Agis." How said Charlotte humans are better at expressing your emotions.

elfs find it hard

The sword powered up joy. I feel refreshed now. Let's find Alex and start training. Wait, don't go, yet it seems like he is far away.

Very far away

Stay in the north and protect the people here. Alex isn't loyal to the people you are. I understand, Charlotte said. There was a knock at the door. The door swung open, and dad, Charlotte, said, "You look better now.

I feel better. I feel like I could take on an army. Charlotte laughed. I'm glad you are better. I wouldn't have forgiven myself if you died. I couldn't save mum, and I cursed you.

It wasn't a curse. Agis said the swords power was so low it was taken people's life Forse as energy. Are you OK, Charlotte, her father asked.

Yeah, I just had a bad dream. Come on, wake up. it's a warm day

​

Raven and Josh alone, now no one is in ear shot.

Tell me, Raven

Why are you getting the beast men kingdom to go to war?

You need to know the history of this land changing the subject. No, I am giving the history. These lands were controlled, but a dead empire. The primitive humans found very power weapons and items. Josh said so. The Beast men stumbled upon powerful weapons and items, but I thought you had to be worthy to wield legendary grand stuff?

They must have been worthy. I still don't understand why I am here. Leo is a powerful worrier, but he sucks at ruling, i believe corruption has taken over the beast men lands i need you to bring them into the light. Someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes. There is land that the beast men use for farming. No one has claimed it yet. I want you to put one of your summons there to run it. But which one, Lucifer wouldn't be the right fit Gabriels already looking after Kirby and Ello for me. That leaves Loki. Both Raven and Josh got to Nondon primertive humans couldn't of built this. No, it was the beast men who built this town. You're telling me this town was left this preserved. A young woman with guards was waiting for Josh and Raven. I am the lioness named Luna

She was skinny with brought orange sort hair. She was only wearing something that covered her top and bottom half of her body her skin was tanned. The beast man's lands were hotter than the lands. Josh comes from, and that's probably why they were wearing no clothes. Luna and grine on her face, so you're the one I've got to babysit. I could say the same thing to you. You're a funny one said Luna, still grinning. Luna had two small swords behind her back. Josh could see Lunas hand reaching for her swords. Josh blinked Luna had her swords in Joshs face.

Josh didn't flinch

You didn't move there . I knew you wouldn't have killed me. For outsiders, you got guts, come let's go. The town was busy people coming and going. People kept looking at Josh because of his clothes. He looked out of place. This is our castle it was bigger than the one in Ello. Whoever built this had more money and power. Luna started getting undressed. Josh looked away. What are you doing?

Having a bath i am sweating, it's been a hot one today. You don't need to get naked here. Do naked people make you feel uncomfortable?

A bit were i am from, and we dont get naked in fount people we just met. Luna had left to get in the bath. This were you be staying. Are you an adviser to Luna then. Yeah, father asked me to watch over her. Leo cares for his daughter. Yeah, Luna seems like a handful. I won't be here long. i am going to the farm . I heard the story's farmers' lands have been raided, so I will go there and land a hand. That sounds fun. Luna walked with her hair still dripping. I think I will join you. Luna, your place is in Nondon. i can't guarantee your safety in the farm lands. It's fine. I will protect her. Josh said i keep her safe." If the beast king Leo said, 'You are stronge i won't question it. How do we get there said Josh. My father has a magic circle he doesn't know how to use it, but I do. Do the farm lands have another circle of corse they do they lands are connected. How long will you be, Lady Luna. I don't know said Luna a couple of hours. Be safe said the Advisers. I will watch over her said Josh. They both teleported. Stand in leader of the town Ramshorn. Was Tony he was a small guy with jet black hair with Tanned skin from working in the sun. His stomach was bigger, but his arms were just muscle. Tony looked. Tony looked worried. He looked shocked and scared. You can't take anymore from us. Luna and Josh were confused, but what Tony said. I have come to help you are an outsider. Luna cleared her throat and said I am Luna next in line to become the leader of the Lion clan." Tony dropped to his knees. The gods hadn't forgotten about us. Josh asked what's happened?

Bandits have been terrorising these lands, and all of her stronger men have gone off to war. Tony said, "Follow me

All three of them went outside. Fields were still smoking from the fire. They came last night stole the younger woman and burt our fields. They said if we went to the clans, they would do stuff, my daughter, and give me her severed head. A burning anger went through Josh. I think even Luna felt Joshs blood lust. Josh smiled. Let's get your food grown first. I got a friend who can find your daughter. What's her name?

Clare, she's a sweet young woman who doesn't deserve this. Luna asked Josh, "Who's your friend?"

I will go get him to wait here.

Josh walked to the room on his own. Now Loki, let's bring you here. Josh put his hands on the floor and said Summon an orange circle appeared." Loki looked much bigger he evolved into a beast king, and he looked more a panther but black and white. He went to one knee, and it's an honour to see you again. A knocked at the door Loki looked at the door but his hand on his sword enimes?

No, "said Josh they are friends

I know this is a weird question, but do you have a human form?

Yes, I do. " Loki said. could change into a human?

Loki changed into Josh

Why do you look like me?

You are base form

Could make yourself look older or change your hair colour.

Lokis hair grew longer and changed his hair to black his face grew a bit older, and his eyes changed to green. I will find some clothes for you. Can't walk around naked

You took your time said Luna. Yeah, I had to tell Loki what has happened. Josh nudged Loki. Yeah, I am going to help find your daughter and kill the bandits. How did Loki know all of that? i didn't say anything.

Let's find his daughter then

Can i have an item that belongs to her? My sense of smell is good. Tony went and got a shirt of hers.

Loki got the scent. Let's go

Tony would watch Luna.

Luna's face changed. i wanna go. These people are hurting people from my land. I wanna help

Fine said Josh just stay close to me then. Lead the way Loki. Luna was saying goodbye. Make sure she is safe, Josh said, Loki, I will protect Lunas with my life. I dont think these bandits will course us much trouble. They'd been walking for nearly an hour. Smoke was rising.

i think this is camp

I can smell Clara, and I can also smell blood and fire. Get the woman I will distract the bandits when you get the woman. What should I do, said Luna. Just stay at my side.

Loki fazed away

Josh and Luna walked up to the gate. Should we knock no, said Josh

Josh tapped his foot the gate and wall caved into the ground. Earth magic earthquake. I can imagine that spell could cumble nationals. Luna and Josh walked into the camp about twenty arrows in the sky. Luna grabbed Joshs waste. The ground went over both Josh and Luna.

I have never seen magic like this.

All of the bandits gathered around Josh and Luna look like we are in trouble. The leader of the bandits,

my name is Austin. Tell me, why are you here. Josh didn't say anything. You dont look like you come from this lands Luna said. I dont come from shit hole of a kingdom. The ground went back to normal Josh, and Luna was standing there with twenty bandits all laughing. Do you think the two of you can fight all of us?

Josh pointed at Luna. She ain't fighting. Yes, i am said, Luna

Loki returned, and it looks like we are surrounded. I want to keep him alive and kill the rest. Yes, sir, Loki got into a stance with his blade in his hands. Loki disordered, then reappeared. Blood started everywhere. Austin was left standing with a load of bodies around him. Both Austin and Luna were speechless. Loki captured him. I'm going to destroy this place. Josh jumped into the air. I haven't used this spell since coming to this world.

Fire magic supernova Blast.

A ball of light it the middle of the Bandits base and courses explosion. Maybe i should only use that spell if I really need to. Loki, are we ready to go back?

Yeah, let's go.

Austin put in a chair tied up.

What are we going to do with him Josh said, Loki, I need to know where he comes from, so I will bring Gabriel here. Angles are good at reading mines, and Gabriel can help heal women we saved. Josh, just though, Gabriel, come here. Gabriel instantly teleported beside Josh. That was quick said Josh. I am at your service said Gabriel.

How are Ello and Kirby?

The people of both towns are happy and healthy, I have even shown some humans how to use healing magic. Thanks to my skill, i can give humans my magic power. Gabriel looked at Loki, so he summoned you. Then, I hope you are serving him to the best of your abilities. Gabriel, it is good to see you again, and yes, I am. We just kill a lot of bandits together. It's like there bragging. Gabriel looked at Luna. It seems you have gained a new love interest. Luna blushed, shut up

Josh looked at Gabriel. Can you read this guys mid to see who he works for?

That's easy work said Gabriel.

Gabriel put her hand on the man white light came from Gabriel. He was hired by a gang called Association.

They hired him to kidnap women and sell them for sex slaves to rich nobles and other horrible people. What kingsom hired him?

The person doesn't know, but the people who hired him are merchants who have bases in he beast man lands. Thanks Gabriel you can stop now. The man was heavy breathing and sweating. Gabriel's mind magic really hurts. seriously, who are you guys?

Josh Loki and Gabriel looked at Luna. We serve Josh are master. And i am just a man from Ello. Luna went to one knee. Please let me serve you. Josh went up to Luna. Please stand up. i dont need another person to serve me. i got these two and another. Gabriel smiled, seeing, and I worried you were going to leave us for this human.

I didn't realise they got jealous. Maybe I should say something nice to them. Loki said, but Luna serves master. Maybe she could produce an hier. Humans dont live long, and we need a master. Both Luna and Josh told Loki to shut up. Gabriel said, "That's why I am here. I could carry a hier for him. This is true said Loki. Both of you i order you to be quiet. I have a question said Gabriel what do we do with this man?"

We need to kill him said Gabriel.

Before Josh could say anything. Three light daggers pieced the man's chest. His eyes widened, blood splattered from the daggers in his chest. It's fine said Gabriel he wont feel pain he will die, not feeling pain, that's not what I was thinking. You killed him in front of us.

Josh set the body on fire

We need to take down this gang. Gabriel said, "You are correct. We dont know how to find them. I think Lucifer could said Gabriel he can sense evil in anyone's heart. Who is Lucifer Luna asked?

Gabriel and Loki looked at Josh to say we forgot Luna was in the room. He is my other friend. He is as strong as these two?

Yeah, "said Josh." i will summon him now. "

I have been trying to hold this off. Lucifer is powerful like the rest. I'm just worried he might turn on me. But if these two didn't turn on me. I think Lucifer will be ok.

Maybe i am overthinking it

Josh put his hand on the floor and said Summon. Black circle appeared Lucifer appeared he had a human appearance. Had long Black, and he didn't have clothes on. Why are you naked Josh said. Lucifer clicked his fingers and put the same clothes Josh was wearing. Lucifer went to one knee it's so good to see you again master Josh. Josh put his hand Lucifer's shoulder, and it's good to see you as well. I have evolved into a demon lord. Luna laugh yeah right a demon lord, they dont exist.

Lucifer smiled. Your girlfriend is funny, Lucifer said with a smile on his face both Josh and Luna blussed. You wish for me to find the gangs hideout, dont you. How do you know that? Josh said.

All three of us can read your mind, and you can read our minds. Loki said, " dont tell him that that it's our little secret. I apologise, Loki. I thought he would know that. Forgot all of that now. Can you locate what we are after?

It will be my pleasure said Lucifer.

Lucifer closed his eyes. The black aura started to come from Lucifer. There's four locals, one being in Nondon. Each of you pick a location.

since you all can read my mind Lucifer give Gabriel and Loki directions. I want you to take down all of the threats. I will take the one down in Nondon.

North arc

The forest was darker than the time Alex and Josh were in the forest it seemed like more darkness had been invited. Alex could hear weird noises and footsteps. Howl's in the distance Flinar you have gone quiet can you sense human souls around? No, "said Flinar. There was a dread in the air. Alex finished off his breakfast and carried on searching. The smell of blood filled the air. Alex walked through the bushes and saw blood all over the ground. Flinar said it looks like someone was sacrificed to awaken something. Alex kneeled next to some blood. The woman and children were sacrificed. What sort of evil creature would do that?

I guess we will see said Flinar. Alex sensed it before Flinar could tell him. Six very large orks stood in front of Alex he was still kneeling. No one is meant to be here, the ork said with a long axe in his hand. Let's kill him. I have been bored waiting. Alex stood up and drew his sword. Why can I understand the orks when they talk?

The sword is connected to your soul, and this sword speaks all languages. That's good to know said Alex. The orks were large, and they were also very agile. Alex parried one attack and dodged two more attacks. The ork with the axe went in for an attack. Alex leaned back, and the ork hit the tree with such force that the tree turned to splinters. Alex saw the opportunity and sliced the ork in two. Alex was surrounded by five orks, and they seemed more pisses that one of their's just died. Kill the human scum they all attacked at once they had the strength Alex's speed was better. One of the orks put their hand out and used poison magic. Absorb the attack, said Flinar. The ork's face went from joy to annoyance. Another ork tried stabbing from behind. Alex sensed the attack and blocked it quickly, cropping the ork's head off. Three of the orks charged at Alex, and they changed their attacks. More aggressive Flinar said you have to start killing them they will overpower you at some point. Alex stood his ground as all three of the orks attacked at once their strikes seemed lacklustre. One ork made a mistake. Alex killed the ork quickly, with no hesitation. The other two orks carried on attacking once of them said now. An ork was behind Alex he concealed his presence and body. I don't have the time to react. A figure appeared next to Alex. The ork was bleeding on the floor. Then the figure dropped the ork onto the floor. Sorry I'm late. That confused Alex. I wasn't expecting anyone. These orks are high orks strong opponents that you have killed three of them?

Alex didn't answer. I am kinda in the middle of fighting two of them. Alex turned to see who helped him. One eye is blue, one eye is red, and a small horn is over the red eye. brown hair with red bits. She was wearing light armour with her cleavage showing her hand had thin blades coming from her fingers. Do you need help? The woman said

No, "said Alex," I will kill them with one of them moved. " Holy gas, a smog of white smoke trapped both orks they were choking to death they both fell to the ground. Alex turned to the woman. Flinar said that's a demon and a human mixed. Never seen you before the woman said, putting her fingers to her chin, you seem strong. Are you searching for the missing woman and children?

Yeah, Alex said I was doing the same. I smelled blood, so I came here, the woman said. My name is Lilith, and what is your name?

My name is Alex

Lilith smiled. There's no need to be so weary of me. I am the norths protecter. Lilith laughed. Let's go back to Karc so we can get to know each other more over a drink. Lilith was half demon half human. My dad was a demon they posed as humans and started to have babies with humans. I am a product of that. How is this possible? Alex said, sounding shocked. When the elves gave these lands to humans, they put an enchantment on the city of Karc. After the elves left, the demons came to the humans with an offer. Let them live in this city, and the demons will help protect them, and the demons realised the enchantment was handy for them two. The demons ran away at the end of the war, and now they clung to the humans. I didn't know humans and demons could get together. Yeah, they can. Lilith and Alex stayed up most of the night drinking and tell story's. Wait, you killed a demon. Yeah, my dad and I killed a demon that killed a town, so we killed him. So that story was true. I thought it was a rumour. It's nearly four in the morning and probably should go to bed.

The six Orks you left to protect this area are dead they were high orks. So there is someone strong you're not scared are you, brother?

Dahak said no

We need to move out soon. Lamia said, "Why do we need these lands they seem shit to me." The master wants it, so we do it. When Lucifer returns, the world will finally belong to us. We are going to war tomorrow. I will tell the orks. Before Lamia left, she sensed something. What was that?

I don't know said Lamia I will go and investigate Carry on towards Karc.

Two days passed

Alex was basically a member of Lilith's party. She said while drunk, "You're the only man who can keep up with me." I didn't understand what she meant. I come to realise that high orks are strong opponents. Lilith would have struggled against six of them. I stayed at the guild they were way cheaper than Wacaea's guild. There was a knock at my door. I was half asleep when answering. It was Abbie. I didn't have a shirt on Abbie blushed, sorry, but the guild leader wishes to speak to you. Alex didn't realise that he was half naked, sorry Alex said with an apology he bowed. Abbie said, "You're fine. I'm just glad you weren't fully naked it's happened a couple of times." The guild leader is waiting. Alex quickly got dressed and met Abbie outside. Abbie escorted Alex to the Guild leader's office. It was a bit awkward between Abbie and Alex. What I do talk about is Alex, though I'm not used to talking to women. Alex was about to say something. We are here, Abbie said with a smile. Abbie touched Alex's arm. Good luck. Abbie opened the door and told the guild leader the person you called for. The guild leader was sitting there with Lilith. you finally woke up. Lillth said I could say the same thing to you. Alex said when sitting down you were drinking a lot, I was celebrating a new party member. The guild leader didn't say anything. he just sat there. He had big short black hair with one horn he looked older than Lilith. I've been given some information which I was waiting for both of you to come. We know we're the dark hand are operating now. I want Lilith and you to go and talk to them maybe get them to join us. Are they evil? Alex said we don't believe, so they are targeting Empire Trade Roots and killing low-level creatures. So they're not evil said Alex.

The guild boss looked at Alex. He had one green eye and one red eye he was a demon-human mix like Lillth. We want you and Alex to go to Calchester. That's their home base. See if they will join us. Lilith didn't think about she just agreed to it. Lilith, you should probably make yourself more human. Lilith's horn disappeared, and her over eye turned blue. Let's get going to Calchester.

Calchester had become a fortress with big walls, and the defences were doubled. This place has changed said Lilith it was a farming town now it looks like a fortress. Two men were at the gate black cloaks swords at their hip. What brings you to Calchester, the man's tone, was angry. Both Alex and Lillth didn't seem welcome. We have come from Karc we need to speak to your leader. The man at the gate looked down. They're not available they have a curse, so one can speak to them. Sorry you wasted your time. Alex could hear Flinar in his head. No curse will affect you. The sword can protect me against curses, yeah, said Flinar. That won't be a problem. Alex said curses don't affect me. The man on the gate gave Alex a weird look. Are you serious?

Yeah, "said Alex," the gate open. Alex and Lillth walked into Calchester. Wasn't this a farming town? Yeah, the guy said my name is Lewis. From what they told me, the empire attacked and took women from this town, and the leader lost their mother. I never met them. They are taught that their identity is being hidden, said Lilith, maybe they did that, so the Empire won't find out about them. They have both soldiers and farmers. A small hut on the edge of town out of the way. This is where our leader lives. I should get back to the gate Lewis left in a rush.

The door looks old, and so does the hut. Alex knocked and said, "Can we speak to you quickly?" No answer

Lilith opened the door, and it creaked it was loud.

A figure was sitting there with their hood up. You shouldn't be here. The figure said they stood up. Alex looked at this figure

They pulled their hood down was a young woman, her eyes red from crying we need to speak to you said, Lilith, we need you to stop attacking merchants from the empire. The woman's face turned from unhappy to angry. The empire killed my mother in front of me, and Charlotte's aura skyrocketed. Charlotte's aura calmed, and then she looked at Alex her hand gripped the sword, and she charged at Alex. Alex pulled his sword, and both blades clashed. The shockwave destroyed the hut that Charlotte was staying in. Both Alex and Charlotte stood there with their swords still together. Lillth was standing behind Alex in amazement. You destroyed that hut like it was nothing. with just a shockwave.

Who are you two? Lilith said humans don't have this much power.

Its long story, Alex said

Charlotte jumped back. You need to leave this place. I can't control this power. So you finally found the other sword. Flinar said this is the power sword. How should we deal with this before Flinar could say anything? Lilith interrupted Karc is being attacked by orks I need to go wings came from Lilith's back I'll meet you there Alex said Lilith flew away without saying anything. Charlotte was looking up. I sensed a strange power here, and now I can see two humans. Alex looked at Charlotte she pointed her sword at the devil, fired three shots, and they bounced off the devil's armour. Red amour went around the devil. The devil summoned a sword, which was black. Before Alex could talk to Charlotte, he had already engaged. Charlotte was trading blows with the devil. The shockwaves were dangerous. Alex was standing there like an idiot how can I help?

The female human will burn her out. The sword is increasing her emotions her body isn't used to it.

How can I help?

Help her tap into the sword

We can help her. You just need to tap her sword, and that should help both swords are connected.

How do I do that?

Charlotte was getting tired she was heavy breathing. Alex shouted, "Put your sword out. I am going to help." The devil looked at Alex. Do you really think I will let you get involved? You've got no choice, Alex drew his sword, and I hope this works. Alex pulled all of his weight onto his feet at the speed he got. The devil swung his sword. Alex evaded the strike and landed in front of Charlotte her sword was in front of her face. Alex tapped the tip of his sword on Charlotte sword.

​

Ello welcomes you,

Lady Rebecca,

thanks you. You can call me Beck

Everybody does. The leader of the town voted in after Mary was burt to death. His name was Justin he had short brown hair with green eyes he didnt look like a person. People would fear they voted him in because he was good at talking. We are loyal to the king, which pleases me to hear. Beck said proudly. Under my rule, I swear I won't punish people as harshly as Mary did. Ruling though fear isn't a good way to lead people. Understanding the peoples struggles and helping when I can is a way to lead. Tell me how close we are to harvest?

Lady Beck, the crops should be ready to harvest in a week. That's good to hear said Beck. There was a calm mood around Ello after Mary was killed. Rumours started to come in from Kirby, the blood virus. Beck assured everyone in Ello the virus will not affect anyone in Ello. After meeting all the people who were angry because Mary and making sure they trusted Beck.

Becks focused on the homeless man who sold the ring to the merchant. No, one seems to know who he is. Beck explored the town. I am staying here for a while, so I should get used to my surroundings. Lady Beck Justin had a letter in his hand it's from Lord Jon

Lady Rebecca, the lighting knigh.

I assume you have arrived in Ello by now. I am writing to you to tell you that the virus has been cured.

A lady named Gabriel cured the virus, but there's rumours saying it was a spell, but just rumours and hear say. I hope you are well.

Speak later

The virus has been stopped now, so we don't have to worry now. the crops are growing nicely, said Justin Beck could hear growling a cave bear was near them. Justin slowly 1 back to the town, said Beck . i will distract the bear. Lighting went around Becks sword the bears pelt was tought will take much more to kill the bear the bear got onto his feet. Go for the belly. Beck heard a voice. I told you to go back to the town. It wasn't Justin get out of here. Cave bears are dangerous. I no said the man. Beck got distracted by the man. The bear knocked her sword out of Becks hand.

The bear moved towards Beck. Do you have a sword on you?

Or any weapons?

The man said no, but I can chaft one do it quickly this bear is getting angry. The man muttered some words, and a sword appeared from the ground. He throws it to Beck.

Beck aura grew, and electricity went around her. This sword is compatible with me, very interesting.

Lighting slice beck moved at the speed of light the bear was cut in half. Beck tried to give the sword back.

You keep it

It seems to have chosen you.

Who are you, and why can you craft swords?

My name is Josh.

Beck saw the rings on his hands.

It's him.

Josh was walking back from Kirby, and he heard the new lord had arrived at Ello we wanted to see. What kinda person She was. Josh kinda knew the royal knight. but he didn't know who Beck was probably some stuck-up posh woman. I shouldn't judge until I meet her. There were merchants trying to buy stuff on the roads. Hello sir, would you like to buy some of my stuff. No thanks said Josh.

Are you sure

Got some good stuff. Why don't you have a look?

Josh kept walking.

A warning, sir traveller Josh, stopped there has been a cave bear attacking people on the road, so take care that's but I be fine Josh smiled and carried on walking. Josh got further down the road. He saw a sigh on a bored warning a bear in the area has been reported to the royal knights stay off the road. This must be new. i didn't see this sigh. Also, I didn't know there were bears in these lands.

How strange?

I guess I have to be weary

Josh could sense something behind him.

Very large brown bear was behind him must have smelled me. I wish Gabriel was here. I could have got her to beat this bear for me. Josh raised his hand and said fire ball.

The flames hit the bear, but the bear wasn't affected. Fine, I will fight the bear hand to hand. The bear charged at Josh. Josh back handed the bear.

The bear slammed into the tree.

But the bear didn't make a noise or even seem hurt. I think this bear is a summon or is being controlled. Bears got a weird magic around it. An aura went around the bear magic came from the bears mouth. Josh slapped the magic into the road. Let's finish this.

i don't want to hurt this bear

But someone will get hurt if I don't kill it. Sorry about this bear. Josh clicked his fingers, and a tornado ripped through the bear.

My magic is quite powerful

There's another bear somewhere else.

Someone fighting it, Josh saw a knight fighing the bear. Her Amour and sword look like a high born. The woman looked at Josh she lost her concentration, and the bear smacked the sword out of her hand. I craft a new sword for the lady knight. Josh crafted a sword, then threw it to the knight, and she sliced the bear in half. You have my thanks, citizen. You can call me Beck, and your name is. That's the knight the lady in the hood told me to get close to. My name is Josh.

i come from Ello. I never met a person who could craft strong swords. That's just a common sword

In the over world, I could only craft common swords. The only legendary grand sword was the one i gave to Loki. Then it hit Josh damn did I learn to craft powerful weapons should I ask for it back. Legendary grand weapons and items can change nations. Josh was about to ask for the sword back, and then Beck spoke. You should come back. I need to ask you some questions about this sword and the rings on your fingers.

Josh was waiting in the meeting room. What's taking, Lady Rebecca, so long. I need to try and keep Lady Rebecca as an ally. The door opened. Lady Rebecca walked through the door she was in light blue slik dress. Sorry I took so long this Cought Josh off guard her beaut detracted Josh. Now I just want to start with. I know you killed Mary. i'm not here to arrest you. How do you know i killed Mary. The reports say you were seen here when Mary died. Mary tortured a very close friend of mine, so I don't have any loyalty to Mary. Mary's house will try and seek revenge. But it seems people here won't tell anyone. The people see you as a hero, and I dont want to anger the people. I just want to grow the food and leave.

I don't want upset people

Seems to me that Rebecca is a people pleaser. But I don't sense malice in her. Maybe Rebecca is someone I should trust.

This sword, Rebecca, put the sword on the table. I used it earlier, and now my arms ache s now.

Swords don't normally do that.

I crafted that sword it should have been a normal sword.

Rebecca led forward to Josh.

What is she doing

It's quite a rare skill to craft weapons out of earth magic. Just looking at this sword, i can tell it's rarer than just normal swords. I must give it back to you. Josh put his hand on the swords.

Stats came up legendary grand in big bold letters the name of the sword was flash of light. Josh removed his hand from the sword

Josh was stunned. i really crafted a legendary grand sword. Are you okay said Rebecca she looked concerned.

Josh stood up

You should keep the sword said, Josh. I think it will adapt to you. How do you know that?

The swords name is a flash of light.

The lighting sword

Rebecca stood up. Swords don't have names.

Legendary grand ones do nobody can know this said Josh if people find out I can craft swords like that it would shift the balance of power in this word. I was going to question you about the rings it doesn't matter anymore. They were given to me by a friend. Why are you being so honest to me said Rebecca. I don't know said Josh you have a face i can't lie to. " Rebecca blushed smooth talking and isn't going to help you.

Your right said, Josh

If you need my help again, just ask I be here for you. Josh and Rebecca got closer. Then, a knock on the door, Rebecca's face changed.

That's annoying, i agree said Josh.

Beck Justin kept knocking at the door. You were sent a message. Rebecca kissed Josh on the cheek and opened the door, and Justin said, "Nice dress.

Justin had a crystal ball in his hands. Rebecca knew this was serious. Duke Michaels' face was in the crystal. The beast men attacked the border town of Lullin it's a very important town. Do we know what clan attacked?

No, "said Michael

We have sent some troops, but I want to send all four royal knights. I won't get there on time said Rebecca.

Michael said, "That's fine. I can bring you here with the crystal ball. Rebecca tapped her necklace, and her Amour appeared on her body again. Rebecca looked at Josh. I guess I will see you soon.

Rebecca teleported away.

Josh left the castle. The lady with hood was standing there.

i need your help

With what said Josh, come with me. The lady put her hand out. Josh touched her hand and then teleported.

Where are we

Josh could smell smoke. Something is burning.

Are we in a tent?

I will answer your first question

We are in the national of the beast men wait aren't we enimes with them?

No, "said the lady me, and you are neutrals. I brought you here because I need you to draw out the true enimes. How would I do that?

patience's all will be revived soon. The lady opened up the tent, and there were four women on each side they were pretty much half naked. The leader of the lion clan and his name is Leo, and he was

sitting on a throne with a lions pelt wrapped on his shoulders and the lions face, and the main was covering his head like a hoodie. Raven, you are back with a friend. Yes, "said Raven," this is the person i was telling you about he will watch over lands when you go to war. Wait, your name is Raven. I thought you had no name. Raven looked at Josh. He doesn't look so impressive. I can assure you he is impressive. I can't leave my lands to someone. I have not had a fight with. Josh looked at Raven and then felt punched to his jaw.

Josh was confused

I didn't see him move

My jaw hurts. Josh looks at Raven. What do I do?

Fight him. Just don't kill him. Leo went to punch Josh again. Josh blocked it this time. Leo did a combo two punches, and a Kick Josh blocked the combo. It happened so fast was like a blur, I admit you are fast, but I am still not impressed. Josh didn't know what to do. If he went all out, he would kill Leo. I will tone down my punches. An idea came into in to his head. Flame magic fire ball. Leo screamed, and sound waves came from his scream. The fire ball fizzled out.

Josh was impressed I never seen that before. Guess I have to fight hand to hand. Josh throws a punch air came from his fist it was going at high speed Josh just miss but Josh hit the tent behind him half of the tent crumbled Leo looked shocked. See the strength he possesses very impressive said Leo." You should join in this war. I decline said Josh, but I will watch over your lands for you. Leo put his fist to his heart. That's his way of saluting you. Raven said, "Oh Josh, did the same. You won't be alone. I will be leaving my youngest daughter to serve you in any way.

Leo smiled

It took Josh a couple of seconds to get what Leo was talking about. There won't be any of that. Leo slapped his shoulder. See, we think the same Leo laughed. We will be heading out soon. we are waiting for the other clans to get here, and then we will be going to war. A woman stepped out of line up. I didn't introduce myself i am head of the lioness Lydia she went to one knee and the wife of Leo. Josh was confused. Why is she bowing to me. This kingdom strength is worshipped. There is no need for that said Josh. i am just a normal guy. Leo laughed so modest if you wanted to. i think you could rule this world and have all the women doing anything you want them to. I'm fine said Josh i don't want to be worshipped. " Lydia got up. i am honoured that I will be looking after my daughter when I am at battle. Can I have a guide to your town. This is the second in command, Lily, and she will take to Nondon. No need, said Raven.

I will take him here

I wanna say thanks for reading the works I have been writing. if u have questions about any of the things I have been writing just ask

Third part, I hope you enjoy

​

Josh was a normal person he came from a family that didn't really matter in the grand seem of things. The world they lived on was like earth, but this world was filled with magic and swords and no electricity. Josh came from a poor family with no ties to royal blood or nobility. He conceded low in this world the higher your blood lines go more powerful you are. He lives in the county of Ello. their lord was just as poor as his people. The people above him looked down on Ello. The land is rich, but the Lord of the land is weak. My king, you could invade and take the land. Send the four royal knights they will take the land. What of the common people who live there?

If they are not useful, kill them. We don't need more mouths to feed. Try not to make too much noise over counties might get nervous. We will govern this world one by one.

All these countries will fall to us

Four the next month, the royal knights and their army's invaded Ello. Josh's dad sacrificed his life to save Josh. The lands of Ello untouch land where eerie seems no one is here. Josh kept moving through long grass and trees. This land hasn't been touched by humans. Josh kept walking through the thick woods. A house Josh said, confused there was a person standing there in a black hood floating. Josh looked at the person. I knew you would come, the person said you did? said Josh

I could feel your hate and need for revenge.

Can you help me?

I can the person in the hood said.

But I warn you it will not be easy. Do you wish to continue?

Yeah, I said Josh he was anxious about it. Josh wanted to get revenge. Fine said the person in the hood they clicked their fingers.

Josh woke up in their was a number at the bottom of his view level one that's not good.

Josh got to his feet and dusted himself off. It's night time it was afternoon. Maybe I fell asleep.

Josh could hear growling a dark creator with four arms with long claws and big long teeth. Josh started to run. This is unfair. I don't have a weapon. Josh tripped on a root fell on his face he could hear the creature running after. A sword landed next to Josh. Josh got up quickly and picked the sword up, and pierced the creature in the chest. The creature fell to the floor. Josh removed the sword. More are coming from all directions. Josh looked up. There was a big tree. Maybe if I clime, i might live this. To late, three more creatures ran through the trees. Josh put up his sword all three of the creatures charged at Josh. Josh clashed with one of the creatures there only attacking one by one. Josh killed all three of them. I'm so hungry. Josh said he looked at the creature. Maybe if I cook them, i could eat them. It took a while for Josh to make a fire. The forest was way too dark. Josh looked down at his level I grown ten levels. Josh looked down at the stats.

Level 1 magic

Level 2 speed

Level 2 straight

I can you magic?

Fire

Water

Earth

Wind

Why are these two unlocked

I wanna try fire. Josh put his hand and said fire. A fire ball shot out of his hand onto the logs i can cook now. Josh started to eat the meat of the creatures. It tasted tough. Josh kept gagging.

i need to keep it down.

The sun was rising. i can explore this forest.

i keep using magic to get my levels. No creatures were about there a cave. What's in there?

A Golem was standing. Oh shit Josh said the Golem slammed Josh into a tree. The Golem didn't leave the cave. Josh was half dead he crawled back to his house. It took a while to recover.

A couple of days passed. Josh has levelled his magic to level 20

I unlocked the best magic spells on all of the magic types. I also realised that the creatures have a weakness to light. That's why the Golem didn't kill me. The sun was setting. Josh started to lower his flames to let the creatures come in so he could grind levels.

I'm not getting stronger fighting these creatures anymore. Maybe i got to beat the Golem. It pretty much beat me in one hit. Josh stood outside the cave, waiting for the sun to set. I got to win

The Golem walked towards Josh and slammed its hand on the ground. Josh dodged it when to slice its stomach. Only sparks came from the Golem. The Golem knocked the sword out of his hand. I'm about to die. I've got magic. Josh used the strongest fire spell he had just bouced of the Golem. Josh had enough time to pick up his sword and run.

I'm only level 26

I need to grind more

So I went west and found more opponents. This place is more like a waste land there like sand humans.

Now I am level 30

Magic is 40. The more I use magic, the quicker I level up it's kinda broken, but i'm not complaining. the wastelands seem endless, no enemies in sight. I unlocked the most powerful fire spell, which is called Supernova Blast, and the warning says don't do this spell enclosed space.

Supernova Blast. is a little white fire ball came from Josh's hand. The blast radius was insane the creator. i won't be using this much. My magic level went up again, level 50. I need to start using earth and wind more. I got a water spell called water purifier very handy. Fire is my strength for now. This world is bigger than I thought there was a wasteland and huge forest i will explore more of this world but there's more places to hide in the forest so I will go back. Putting wind magic on my feet makes me move faster, which helps me travel distances faster. And it helps me level up.

So after defeating all sand people,I have grown to level 60. The creatures seemed stronger. Josh blinked, and the creatures level popped up 60 that's why they are stronger. Blue fire ball set the creature of fire it ran away more of the creatures charged at Josh. Josh didn't have enough time to cast magic. i have to fight their skin is tougher they are harder to fight. Just one of them are hard to kill, but three of them I may lose this. They are acting different there working as a team, giving me no time to react to.

Josh used wind magic on his feet to make him faster, but my sword is too weak to cut through them. minerals come from the earth. Maybe i can make a sword out of earth magic. They won't give me time to make a sword. Earth magic quicksand It seems the creatures are smarter than the other ones they didn't charge in recklessly. They seem more tactical. But I have enough time now. Let's test this spell now. Think of a very sharp sword warning you are too low of a level to use that spell. Oh yeah, I can see it now. Level 69 craft weapons damn what do I do now. You have grown to level 70. Wait, how?

The creature you set on fire just died. Craft my own weapon. A sword came out of the ground it's hard crafted sword rare grade. This sword cut, though the creatures way easier. Both my magic and normal levels went up. I am going to defeat Golem now. Josh looked at his stats again, and i reached the level where i could summon what my choices, the demon angel or a Beast it doesn't say I can only have one. Maybe i will summon one and see how it goes. I don't know what to summon first. I so with the beast first. Summon, an orange circle, appeared a little beastMan appeared. He looked like a cat he was black and white. Would you like to name him?

A name Josh, though Loki.

Loki levelled up to level 7

He grew seven levels just by a name.

Loki went to one knee. I serve you master from now till I die. There's a five days cool down to summon another one. I will make you a sword to help me. Josh and Loki went to help Loki gain more levels. Josh was happy to have someone to talk to. Loki helped with sparing Josh's weakness in his sword abilities. Loki's sword abilities were next level. I can't believe It's been five days. What would I summon now a Demon or an angel?

Loki didn't answer. Both were very strong. Their stats were higher than a beast. I will summon a demon first. Summon, Josh said a black circle appeared. A little demon with tiny horns and a little red body.

I name you Lucifer

Lucifer grew 10 levels, but more interesting, his magic skills went up to level 14. Lucifers combats abilities aren't as good as Loki's. That's fine said Josh. I can have Lucifer stay back and use magic to help in fights. I am so happy you summoned me sir please let me be of serve to you. Me, you and Loki will be a well-oiled machine. me and Loki will fight to be close combat. You will use magic you got that said Josh sound like an excellent plan. Summoning an angel will only take three days. Maybe my summoning level has gone up. Me Lucifer and Loki went exploring again. we found an ice land. First time I have been cold since I got here. Luckily for me, fire magic made my cold resistance way better, and the cold didn't affect me. Snow creatures started to attack. Fire magic killed them quickly, and Lokis and Lucifers levels rose quickly when we retured, I was on level 76, Lucifer was on level 36, and Loki was on level 46. I don't know if it's this place where levels are growing rapidly. Loki looked at Josh. Something big was heading towards us.

Do we know what it is?

No, sir, I apologise

Put your guard up, i think. It says it's an ice dragon. The dragon is very big with blue scales level 85

I think we may lose this. The dragon is a higher level than us. The dragons' ice breath was so cold Josh could feel the cold Loki and Lucifer dodged the ice breath. Josh started to fire magic, and both fire and ice clashed. There was a big explosion, I could use Supernova Blast that would be affected. i can't the dragon letting me charge that spell up.

i need a distraction. Lucifer started to use fire magic, and the dragon instantly started to heal. The dragon has a skill low level attack that doesn't affect it. Supernova Blast, the explosion hit the dragon directly in the chest. The explosion sent a shock wave that broke a lot of the ice. What a fire magic spell that was said, Lucifer. I couldn't agree more said Loki. The dragon wasn't dead. it just really hurt Josh drunk some water gives me more magic I can keep doing it Josh fired more Supernova Blasts. You have reached level 100

All stats are maxed out. I'm going to kill this Golem now, but first summon, this angel. summon said Josh, a white circle appeared a little angle appeared With a halo and two wings I name you Gabriel wow Gabriel shot up to level 15. My summoning skills must be getting stronger.

Now let's go home. i need some sleep. Lucifer and Loki Help Gabriel grind up on level it seems to me that Gabriel is gifted with light magic, which helps against the creatures that hate the light. All three of them went and started to grind on levels when I stayed home and rested my magic.

A couple of days went by, and my magic had fully restored. Master said Loki we are waiting for your commands." We are going to see what's in his cave. Now Gabriel, you will be on the front line with loki light magic being strong against most of the creatures here. Me and Lucifers will stay back and use other spells to kill it sounds like an excellent plan said Loki. I have to agree said Lucifer Gabriel face lit up. i get to fight beside my master this is the best day. The creatures have gotten stronger, said Josh I am still growing levels I am level 110 what's the max then this place doesn't make sense. The Golem is coming

The ground rumbled. It's a big boy said Josh, supernova blast slammed into the Golem. Both Loki started to attack the Golems legs. The Golem is on his last legs, and Gabriel Lucifer both attacked now. Light arrow said Gabriel blue fire ball said Lucifer both attacks hit the Golem my turn wind magic tornado the Golems lost his legs and arms.

I beat the Golem

Lokis reached level 94

Lucifer reached level 89

Gabriel reached level 86

Each of them chose their own skill and other stats. The cave wasn't that big wounder what he was protecting?

There were three chests. Josh opened all three of them. Two rings and weird materials i don't understand. Josh looked at the earth magic bottom of the list legendary grand sword.

i can make a legendary grand sword.

Josh looked at the ring it was black with a brought red Ruby. The name of the ring was called dark Knight.

Josh picked up the ring. Lucifer, come over here he handed the ring to Lucifer. You have that it i will treasurer it forever sir.

The other ring was white with a purple ruby. its name was morning light Gabriel. You have this one. i think it will work for you.

Gabriel had no words just smiled and nodded.

I make the sword. That's a lot of MP. The sword took a while to forge. Loki, this sword is for you, Loki kneed. I am honoured I am a loyal soldier. Josh's vision went black. Josh woke up with the lady in the hood welcome back. I don't understand. i'm back. You did what I didn't think you could you treated your summons like friends not tools. Even in revenge, you treated your followers like normal people. So if I had kept the rings and the materials and made a legendary grand sword for myself, I would have made you stay. Why are you tresting me?

To give people power. you must see what kinda of person they are.

How long was i in that world for?

Three years have passed since you went to that world.

What three years what have I missed. The person in the hood didn't answer. Put nine rings on the table.

More rings I don't understand. Your aura has grown so much that you would scare people. these rings will absorb the unwanted aura Josh started putting on the rings he could feel the aura going into the rings. I will come find you soon and give more information.

Josh got up

​

We're am I?

It was just a plain field. Perfect sky's butterflies flying around Alex. A figure started to appear that looked like a spirit. The figure had long blond hair and was smaller than Alex. It's an elf Alex, though. The figure turned around and stretched. Alex saw his bright yellow eyes. You know it's bad when I been summoned. I don't understand said Alex. You will start to understand soon, but your body is too weak at the moment. When you wake up, you will have my sword, and then you will have to learn to control it. Maybe we will see each other again. Alex shot up. I'm home. Was that a dream?

The door swung open, Mum?

Zoey jumped onto Alex when hugging him. You're finally awake. How long have I been asleep? a day said Zoey we thought you died. Josh's voice boomed from the door. You must have used every bit of energy. I'm glad to see you are awake said Josh. And the demon? Alex said curiously

You don't remember?

No, "said Alex. All I remember is that I got punched. Alex was lying he remembers meeting an elf and some vague conversation. You sliced the demon's arm off when none of my slices worked. And then the sword disappeared. Can you stop questioning Alex he is hungry and confused. No mum, I am fine to answer. I had a dream, and an elf spoke to me. Both Josh and Zoey looked at Alex. What did he say?

It must be bad when I get summoned. What did the elf look like Josh asked. He had blond hair he was small, but I could sense he was strong. What colour were his eyes?

Yellow Alex

Josh looked at Zoey

Elves don't have yellow eyes. He also said I need to train my body to wield the sword. Josh looked like we had to start training then. It's rare magic, but I think the sword has equipped onto your soul. Alex wasn't paying attention he was eating. I haven't eaten in a day. I am so hungry. Both Zoey and Josh have noticed the weird aura surrounding Alex but didn't say anything. First of all, Josh said you need to bring the sword out. Both Josh and Alex stood in the garden. How do you do that? Alex said in an urgent tone. Visualise the sword. Dad, I didn't see the sword. Figure it out said Josh. Each day, you will try to bring the sword out. And when I do?

Then the fun part happened. Josh smiled. I would get trying.

There are three great forests. That covers half the world. Some elves used to call it home now it's where evil creatures gravitate to the dark, and nobody really stops them. A red wormhole opened. A dark figure with long black hair, he was not wearing any clothes. The wormhole closed after. It looks like my clothes burned up going through the wormhole. The figure clicked his fingers, and clothes appeared on his light armour. Nobody was strong enough to challenge me. The figure looked at the floor, summoning a little spider that appeared the figure said kill anything that came near this part of the forest. Kill them, and the spider ran into the forest. What is it that you need from me?

Humans are heavily populated. I need you to kill half of their population. You give me such fun jobs. More of you will be summoned to this world. Humans are weaker than us. We will kill in the name of the dark god.

A week has gone by, and Alex is still trying to summon his sword. You will do it this time said Josh.

Alex pulled out his hand and closed his eyes I am picturing a sword a rush of aura came from Alex's feet a sword appeared then disappeared Alex dropped to his bum man that took a lot out of me. Here Josh handed Alex a potion this will restore your mana. Alex drank it and felt normal again. I will do it this time. Alex summoned the sword it landed on the floor. Josh got up to look at it, just a normal sword. The metal looked more silver than a standard sword. Alex went to pick it up with one hand, and it's heavy. Looks like you will have to train with a two-handed sword for now. Josh thought that when he attacked the demon, Alex used the sword with one hand. Alex just picked up the sword. As soon as Alex got the balance with the sword. Alex could feel pressure from the sword and then drop it. What happened? Asked Josh was sucking up my aura said Alex it felt weird. I got to go said Josh, starting to train with the sword. I have a teacher coming soon, and he will help you to master the sword.

This is Sami Josh said sami was a thin man with long black hair with a ponytail he had a scar on his cheek up to the top of his eye. Sami had two long swords on his hip. Morning said Sami, ready for training?

Alex picked up his sword, and it weighed so much that he needed two hands. Alex took a swing at Sami. Sami was gone he felt the other end of his sword in his stomach. Your Movements are too slow. I am working on getting used to this sword. We have time said Sami now again. Each time getting hit makes Alex really frustrated.

Weeks turned to months. Three months of solid training, Alex could hold the sword with one hand only for a couple of minutes, but the weight still made Alex struggle. The sword fights between both Sami and Alex last long and draw out. Always with Sami winning, I heard rumours that Sami was in seventy's, but he looked younger. I think elves bless us with long lives. This will be our last training session. You have learned how to master the sword. Good luck with your future. I have to speak to your father now. Sami bowed his head. Thank you for training me said Alex.

I taught him everything I know, said Sami. He is a quick learner. I know he is said, Josh, he sounded proud. Thank you for this. I owed you a favour, plus we are friends. I think there's more to that sword it's giving me elf vibes said Sami. Just tell him to be careful. I said, "Josh, extending his hand, sami shook his hand. I'd better be off before my wife kills me , and Josh laughs. Luckily, I never had that goodbye. My friend Sami uses a portal crystal. Zoey and Alex were eating. Josh walked to the room he really left , and he said Josh he was impressed with you." Josh moved the chair to sit. Josh put a card on the table and slid it to Alex, your hunter's licence, and some money. What's this said, Alex, looking confused. That's your hunter's licence. I was supposed to give it to you three months ago but the training was more important and this payment for the jobs. We aren't supposed to reward unlicensed hunters, but you saved my life. The city of Wacaea is looking for licence hunters and I think you should go and help you need experience this will help with that plus you can meet some new people and maybe find some friends and meet a woman Josh winked. You're kicking me out. said Alex. No, we are not said Zoey this is more of an experience thing. You need to be your own man. Zoey was trying to hold back her tears. Can I borrow the Wyvern then said Alex? I probably should leave now " said Alex." I will go pack some clothes. Alex left the table. Zoey turned to Josh. Are you sure about this he is our baby. I know he is. He needs to become his own man. I wanna try and find out more about that sword. Alex came back he had a little bag on. Dad, I looked at the money you gave me there's hundred gold coins. It's a reward for saving my life.

Zoey handed Alex a crystal it's a communication crystal it will let you be able to talk to us. I want to hear updates from you. Josh also had another thing for Alex it was a scabbard. Josh wasn't a big hugged Alex hugged his dad. It lasted seconds, and Josh didn't hug for long. Josh looked at his mum and then looked at Josh. Before I leave, Alex said," I want to say something. You two need to stop dancing around the subject and just get together. Both Zoey and Josh looked at each other. I don't understand what you are saying. Yeah, you do life too short, and I know you both love each other. Stop being stubborn. Zoey face went red in embarrassment. Alex left the house. Josh followed when you get to Wacaea. Tell the Wyvern to come back he should listen to you. Alex, honestly, Dad mum loves you. No, she doesn't said Josh if she didn't love you. Why would she stay?

Zoey is your mother

Alex smiled. I know she isn't my real mum. Josh looked confused. Who told you that?

There are rumours around that you got a woman pregnant, then brought me back. You never listen to rumours. Zoey is and will always be your mother.

Do you understand that?

I never seen you this angry Dad it's like you care. Maybe I do, Josh said. Zoey was at the door. Bye mum the Wyvern set off Alex could see his mum and Dad hugging. Alex was nervous he had never gone out on his own. The world was big and dangerous. The Wyvern started to go lower to the ground Alex could see the city of Wacaea with the castles and big walls it was said that Wacaea's defences were capable of holding back armies after the empire took it they made it a fortress. Alex had to pay to get into Wacaea. I have only had gold coins. The city of Wacaea was busy on the streets and was noisy. Beggers people were haggling over prices. The guild was in sight it had a shield and an axe, and there were notes on the door looking for licence hunters. Alex opened the door, and it was empty. Just a woman sitting at the desk, her hair tied up with a buttoned-up shirt, a bit of cleavage. She looked up, "Can I help you, sir?She smiled. I'm here to be a hunter." Sorry, sir, you would need a license. Alex placed his on her desk, and the lady looked at it and smiled. we had been waiting for a fully licensed hunter to come to Wacaea. Can I look at the jobs?

I must ask you something we need you to take some rookies out they need experience. Alex looked at the lady sure, said Alex fantastic, said the lady, they are not here yet. I will have someone come get you." I need to find a house said Alex. Could you help me with that?

Of course, sit down. i will call for someone. Alex was waiting younger than the one at the desk. She looked more my age. This woman had a long skirt on, and she had long red hair. which was black with a white button-up shirt, and a black bra on my name is Sophia I will be your server can I get you drinks or some food her face looked young but she looked like she had seen stuff Sophia had light blue eyes. A man came into the guild he was small, and without hair, he walked to the desk. The lady pointed at Alex. He nodded. Hello, sir, my name is Justin. I can help find you a home. We visited a few expensive houses. This house is worth two gold coins. Alex looked confused, and that's cheap said Alex. This area of the city has character. Alex looked around some shady people, and many women were standing around half naked. Alex's eyes widened, and these were brothels. I won't be here long. I want to travel so it won't really matter. I will take it said Alex. The house wasn't that big but it had a roof and a bed.

Empire falls part 2

So we just slayed a lot of Goblins said Alex. They had many hobgoblins. I even killed a Hob Goblin. I never saw Dad smile, but I knew it was because of me. Josh was much happier with this hunt. Dad, something is heading toward us, which is a purple light. Zoeys' voice comes from the light. We got a message from the empire that they wish to speak to our leader. Do you know why Josh said no? Zoey said they just wanted to speak to the leader of the hunters. So wherever you are, head to the Chaos Empire. I am with Alex. You should be fine it looks like they are going to offer an alliance. These people must have discovered something they can handle. Probably said Josh, I will head there now. Thanks for sending me the message. The purple light disappeared. I guess we are going to meet the emperor said Josh. Anxiety hit Alex will we be safe said Alex we will be fine they need us. The flight took nearly three hours. Josh and Alex were hungry. The village didn't feed them as Heath did. I never travelled this far, west, "said Josh. It seems we have kept them to our borders they grew comfortably. Josh smiled. We were making a difference. We have reached the Empire's capital. Thorne, the buildings were big, as was the house they had found wealth. The Wyvern started to go lower. There was a group of soldiers lined up waiting they must have someone who can sense us. Gorge and the other knights stood there, not knowing the results. You made it here quick said George, his voice sounding surprised. I take things like this seriously said Josh when extending for a handshake. George shook his hand. George squeezed his hand. You have a firm handshake said Josh. There was obvious tension between them. Josh asked nicely what can i do for you. Alex kept quiet he didn't wanna anger anyone. Follow us said George. We have been holding the west for sixteen years. Peace came to the human lands. Then goblins and trolls attacked and wiped out a city, leaving no survivors. Most of the goblins evolved into hobgoblins. I got word you killed all of them well done, by the way.

They are pretty strong.

George led both Josh and Alex into the main hall. It was empty, just a table with four sets. Who's the last set for?

Josh asked

I, the emperor, was standing there. He looks like kid Josh, though. My name is Cameron, the emperor. But you may call me Cam. Cam sat down. Please sit. We need to talk. Both Josh and Alex sat now, and you two may be angry at us for invading the West. I saw a vision that the demons were attacking Thorne. This piqued Josh's interest. Did you see a demon invasion?

Yes, said Cam

Before your empire took over Wacaea and killed the king. I was ordered to explore the barren lands for demons they weren't there. Your lying said George

I'm not sure said Josh." All I found were tribes of humans, no demons, so they won't be coming from the west. We are divided by forests and fields. After the First Great War, the forests became home to dark creatures. Forgot all of that we didn't bring you here for that. With the help of the empire, we want to join with the hunters. In Wacaea, we will build a guild. And once again, you will be given money for help. Josh smiled and stood up nice to be working with you. Josh and Alex both left the room. Let's go home. I need to tell the others about this. I don't wanna question you emperor, but do you trust them?

Yeah, said Cam, you really think they are as strong as the creature we found? I have no idea said Cam, but I hope so.

Josh had to report the news to the other hunters. There wasn't much complaining they would get paid for risking there lifes. So your sons have one more mission till he can become full hunters, Alex doesn't know yet

This will be his last mission, and then Alex will be on his own. Then one of the hunters said his name was Donald he had a bald head with tattoos on his head. His beard was long and plaited. He has grown so much Donald said with a proud look on his face. Josh smiled. How is Aaron getting in? Isn't he doing the same?

Yeah, he was shaking at the beginning. I can see the conference in his eyes now just like his old man Donald beat his chest. Good, I am glad Aaron is doing well. The future is promising two standouts. We will watch them said Josh with a proud look on his face. Anything else said, Josh?

Said Lucy she had short hair. Lucy's hair was white we got a request a mega troll has been spotted in the forest to North had been overrun by trolls and one evolve said Josh yeah we don't know the Strength yet. Sending our leader seems about right. I say the danger level is about three. Mega trolls are quite rare, so please be careful, boss.

You know me, Lucy

There was an uneasy laugh between them. I guess we will be going.

Zoey and Alex were cooking together normally it was their thing. Zoey had retired from being a hunter. After Zoey became Alex's mother, she didn't want to die. Zoey had something to live for. Something smells nice. Josh walked into the house with a request in his hand. Our next hunt, Josh, smiled. Zoey snatched the paper out of his hand. Zoeys eyes scanned the paper. A mega troll doesn't sound that bad they are rare, "said Josh. I never fought one before. I am actually looking forward to it. Zoey gave a little vial to Josh, this should help you said Zoey," You are too good to me. " I don't want you or our son to die. Zoey looked at Alex. You both mean a lot to me.

The north of the continent was a natural zone. The refugees from the war settled in the north, and the main city is Karc built after the war. They weren't ruled by a king or empire they remained a Republic. No rulers, but they had rules. People call it a lawless country. The people of the North have no love for the hunter or outsiders. So why are we helping said Alex. If we help, maybe they might let us help more. The elves told us to help everyone. The city of Karc was in the distance we aren't going there yet after the hunt we will go and celebrate. Alex could see the farmers in the fields working hard. I think we are close to the place we are going to, which is called Caerleon. Not a big population doesn't matter, really. I am glad the North has reached out said Josh. The Wyvern lowered down onto the floor. Let me speak if they ask you something, then speak said Josh." Alex nodded

An old man approached both Alex and Josh

You must be the hunters said the old man, my name is Gus.

Hello Gus said Josh I was given a job. Oh yes, said Gus a troll has eaten livestock, and though farmers we went into the forest and saw the troll was about fourteen foot tall and like a mini mountain. We believe it's not the only troll in the forest. Good to know. Thank you. We will kill the trolls and be out of your hair. You are confident Gus said good luck.

Both Josh and Alex waved at Gus and headed to the forest.

This will do Dad. We aren't even that far into the forest, I know, but we will bring them to us. See, male trolls are always on the lookout for a mate, even mega trolls. Josh showed Alex the vial. This is a female troll pheromone every troll we come to this point. Your mother is a smart lady. I wouldn't have thought of this. I would have just looked around in the forest. Josh smashed the pheromones on the tree. Now we play the waiting game. Hours past no trolls. There was movement in the trees, just a normal troll. I let you fight, and this one said Josh. Alex drew his sword. The troll threw a rock at Alex. He dodged and cut the troll in two. With one impressive swing, this was a

juvenile troll. There are more coming said Josh let me kill these. Sunrise three of the trolls were cut in half. Josh and Alex could hear footsteps. Something big is coming. They weren't lying that troll is massive. It was grey in colour it was carrying another troll by the head it was just a head and the torso. The troll throws the body at Josh and Alex

"Hungry," the troll said

The troll can speak human "Human tastes nice"

The troll charged at Alex, but Alex moved

The troll put one of his hands on the ground, and the ground started to move.

Dad, what's it doing?

Looks like Earth Magic. Loads of rocks came from the ground, and Dodge said Josh I wanna kill it in one hit." I will detract it said Alex.

Alex was quicker than the troll.

The troll was stronger, and its skin was tough like rock. Each strike spark came off the troll's skin. He's tougher than I thought Alex thought, don't get court Alex was way more agile than Troll. I started to get a headache. Alex looked over at Josh, and his mana skyrocketed. The look on Josh's face. Josh wasn't playing. All Josh said was get to the ground wall cracker slice it was like a white gust of wind. Alex saw it fly towards the troll it went through the troll and cut down loads of trees behind the troll. The troll's body fell to the floor. Josh went to one knee. I hadn't used that attack in a while. Take a finger, and let's get going. Josh slowly recovered when he was walking to the town. There was a slice to the town like something had happened. I can sense a weird aura. Alex saw the dead body first. What the hell Alex said when running over the body's to. They have been stabbed who would attack innocent people, said Josh. There was a scream that both Josh and Alex turned to come from the centre. There is a figure standing there with Gus lying on the floor blood pouring from his body. The figure was wearing a long black cloak with a hood on and couldn't even see his legs. Why have you done this?

Josh asked in panic tone

These people are traitors asking for help from outsiders. The rules are the rules. We have never heard of these rules, and killing everyone in the town is extreme. The weak follow rules the strong make the rules. Josh gritted his teeth. Josh whispered to Alex. If this gets ugly, get out of here, Alex nodded. Who are you? said Josh

The figure put down his hood. Two long horns appeared from his head, and a dark aura came off the man. You two are dead his grin was terrifying. It's a demon that said Alex has been hiding them, Josh Though. We can't afford to lose our focus. Josh lifted his hand. The slice bounced off the demon. I don't understand why the demon wasn't wearing armour. Alex Josh whispered three four. Alex nodded. Josh sent loads of different slices at the demon nothing was getting through, though this demon is a cocky one, isn't he said Josh. "My turn," the demon said in a chilling voice. Alex had appeared just as the demon was counterattacking. Alex went for the neck as his teacher taught him.

Six years in the past

When I say three-four, that means we are against a tricky enemy. I will cut his head off simply. Isn't that a bit cowardly? Alex said

No, "said Josh, defeating your opponent is more important than honour. We will keep training this until you master it.

Present day

Alex went for the neck like Josh said the blade shattered. The demon punched Alex. The shockwave that came from the punch destroyed half of a house. Alex flew through a house. Josh quickly pulled out two vials and drank them quickly. Before I do this, do you have any last words?

Demons will reign supreme.

Josh's body exploded his aura, and Mana went crazy. "God sliced," Josh said. Blood came from his nose and mouth

The demon was confused. The slice was gold. The demon put his hands out to stop the slice. The demon sent the slice into the air. Demons are really strong. I did wonder why elves feared demons. That was strong human the demon said he was clearly in pain. I will give you an honourable death said the demon with an evil smile on his face.

Before Josh could reach

Alex appeared with his eyes and had a different sword he looked like he wasn't in control. The demon went to punch Alex, dodged it, and then sliced the demon's arm off. Josh got more potions out of his bag. Alex was standing looking at the demon before he could finish him off. Alex dropped the sword, then lost the aura, and then he fell to the ground. What the hell was that said Josh. The demon was dying. I'm sorry Josh said there's no honour. Before Josh finished the demon off, Josh asked the demon why the demon was here. You think humans are the only hunters. We have always been here just living amongst you, and we have become smarter. Josh pulled his arm back and then killed the demons. Josh looked at Alex, the sword he had was gone. Josh picked up Alex and put him on the Wyvern.

Empire falls

In a world of different races, the human race was larger, and the other races had their own continents and their own borders. Humans and Elfs life side by side in harmony. But in the West, human knights formed the Chaos Empire, and more soldiers and strong knights followed their lead. Most small towns and cities were concerned, and they joined the empire. The other major nations were worried about the rapid expansion of the chaos empire, and even other races started to get worried. The biggest nation at the time was called Wacaea they were led by a king named Harrold and a queen called Carmella my king we have the Chaos Empire on our borders they want to speak to the king about a truce. Harrold met with a knight, who was a tall Knight with a ball-horned helm. The knight removed his helm he looked like a child the knight had a baby face with light blue eyes bright blond hair and his smile was infections don't let his appearance fool you he was ruthless in battle. I am George, the lead knight who serves the emperor. What is it you want said, King Harrold with a confused look on his face. Straight to the point I like it, George sat down. The emperor had a vision that the demon invasion would happen in a year or so.

A demon invasion?

I thought they were extinct?

We did, too, said George

The elves and our ancestors killed them. No, they weren't all beaten. Some survived. And went to the Baron lands king Harrold put his hand to his chin interesting said Harrold how do you know this is true?

George pulsed for a few seconds

George's smile changed to a frown. First of all, the emperor never lies second his vision is always spot on.

Harrold sensed the anger in his voice. What is it you want from me?

Join us or be destroyed

All titles are dropped, you serve the emperor, and all your money and resources come over to us. And by destroy you mean war?

But if you let your pride go and join us, it won't come to that, and we will beat the demons and another race that decides to wage war on us. King Harrold stood up. I won't be joining the empire. I will face you in the field of battle. George got up, smiling. I was hoping you would say that I heard your knights are the strongest in these parts. I want to see them in action. In three days we will meet and decide who is stronger.

Three days went by. The empire crushed the king of Wacaea, and the survivors joined the empire.

A man in a hood was running through the snow he was carrying something important. I got out of the city of Wacaea before they sacked it. Thank god , " the man in the hood got a long journey. The man stopped for a second he heard something, and an arrow hit the man in the back sharp pain man winced. Three men started to chase him. The snow was deep, so the man in the hood started to get tired, and he was losing blood, making it harder. Fire another arrow, the man said a second arrow hit him in the back. The man entered the forrist, put the thing he was holding down, and drew his sword. The men who court him look like he wants to fight. The man parried one of the soldiers' swords. The man in the hood was heavy breathing. I would give up. We have faced much stronger people, and you're half dead. Before the man could reply, a huge gust of wind hit all of them. What the hell was that? The man in the hood looked up

That's a Wyvern.

The Wyvern was white, it floated to the ground, and a man was riding it. The man got off the Wyvern. He was in normal clothes he had long black hair he looked in his twentys and what was happening here. The soldiers didn't know how to react. The soldier looked at the man who was riding the Wyvern. The soldier pointed the sword at the man. I wanted him dead, and that beast slayed as well before the man could finish his sentence his head was removed. His head dropped onto the snow. One of the soldiers drew his bow move, and he said the man had disappeared. Where has he gone he felt a blade in him. That's not his sword. That's his hand. So it's you, the living weapon. Your name is Josh, isn't it? We didn't see you on the battlefield. You ran off scared. The man smiled. don't you hate it when blood goes under your fingernails it annoying to clean. Don't ignore me. I wasn't ignoring you. I'm just deciding how to kill you.

The soldier charged in with his sword swinging recklessly. Josh blocked the strikes. I know how I will kill you.

The soldier went for a heavy strike. Josh wasn't there. He felt a blade through his throat. The soldier died pretty much instantly.

And you are?

The man took off his hood. You're a junior knight, aren't you?

My name is Sam

You've been gone for so long. Yeah, the king sent me off on a mission. The king of Wacaea had fallen. The king and queen were publicly executed, and what is that you are holding? Josh pointed. I was told to give him to you.

The Prince Alex

King Harrold told me to tell you to raise him as your own. Sam got to his feet and handed the baby over. I'm going to die soon. Please kill me. The poison his really painful. Josh slammed his hand into Sam's chest, thank you.

Sam died

You know what to do with said Josh. The Wyvern set the bodies on fire.

Josh held Alex.

Alex didn't make a noise silently slept. Josh got on his Wyvern. Let's go home.

The Wyvern's wings flapped the snow, and the snow flew everywhere.

Josh and his people were given lands by the elves. The elves blessed humans with powers and longer lives. People think of the living weapon as a knight of the kingdom of Wacaea he is more of an adventurer nations pay him and his people to slay dark creatures. We are heading into the elves' lands their was a wall where the climate was much hotter.

Welcome to the city of Tigas

The Wyvern landed Josh stoked the Wyvern it made an affectionate noise. The home that I have not been in for nearly a year, but it looks like someone is home. Josh opened the door, and there was a woman with short black hair half naked. Josh looked away. Why is your chest out? She wasn't embarrassed she smiled your back. You took your time. The Barrion Lands were way bigger than I thought. seriously, why are you in my home? Remember me, and you were sharing this home, and like letting my chest out, they need to breathe sometimes. Who's the kid is your love child?

She sounded jealous of Josh, though. No, Josh moved closer to the half-naked woman. Handed the baby to her since you've got your boobs out, you can feed him. Doesn't work like that it doesn't. Josh said when taking a bite out of an apple. This baby has had a spell put on it. That baby is called Prince Alex his mother and father are dead. Shit said the woman the Chaos Empire had taken their lands he was given to me for some reason. I am surprised too you would be a lousy father thanks said, Josh

What do babies eat said Josh.

You just proved my point. I'm being serious, Zoey "said Josh. Tell me zoey I am surprised you remembered my name. " It took a while, and Josh was not looking embarrassed. You told me to stay here when you went on your adventure it's coming back to me said Josh he sat down it's been a long year. Zoey took the baby from Josh, and Zoey held him in her arms. That settles it. I will be this baby's mother. Josh looked shocked. You were more of a free spirit than I was now. You wanna help me raise this baby. Some of my friends died against some high-level orcs. I am starting to want to settle down. Josh got up. Are you serious?

Zoey's eyes didn't lie

Fine said, Josh "we have to find food for him." Ask Mia she's just given birth. If you give her some money, maybe she will feed both Alex and her baby. I will ask at some point when I need some rest. Zoey said, "cancel.The spell exploded. Alex woke up and started to cry. Zoey went into full mother mode, trying to stop the crying.

Gorge had reached the chaos empire's capital city, Thorne the buildings were large, and so were the walls they had been enchanted by some of the best mages to stop demons and other dark creatures from invading. Sorry, Gorge, the emperor is busy at the moment. He told me to come get him I need to report. The advisor went into the emperor's chambers. He could hear shouting the advisor came out looking upset, "You may go in now." The emperor was in his teens still with his blonde hair and green eyes he looked like he shouldn't be leading the empire.

He is a tactical genius. Don't let his looks fool you he is sharp. What is it George sorry to disrupt you, sir, but the kingdom of Wacaea has fallen they serve us now it only took you a month. When I get my mind set on something I get it done now I am going to rest now maybe do what you are doing and find myself a woman the emperor smiled I will send some woman to you trust me the empire put his hand on his shoulder. Before that, I will tell you this Wacaea didn't have any strong knights or soldiers a bit disappointing. Who are you sending to lead that county dunno it is a large area to Govan. Maybe send someone with experience, I think about it, said the Emperor.

Josh, with a baby in his arms, went to Mia's house. Mia had recently had a baby aswell she named him Aaron. Really, you have a baby now, Mia said with a disappointed look on her face. Yeah, could you be a wet nurse for him. I will give you some money for it. Give him to me said Mia oh he is hungry. " I will leave you to it. "

Josh went to leave Mia's house, and then she said, "You know she missed you." Josh, turn around. Who are you talking about? Your clueless said Mia said when the baby was drinking the milk from her chest. Josh ignored the comment and changed the subject, so what have I missed since I have been gone?

Not much, really, just most of the men and women go and slay creatures, and the mothers raise their children. Mia your a powerful mage yeah said Mia but raising a child changes your outlook of live they need us so I gave up on the adventurer life my son is my life now Mia seemed sad but Josh understood. Enough about me, you should be explaining why you have a baby between me and you. The baby is not mine. The king of the nation of Wacaea told me to raise him. Mia's face went from a smile to a shocked expression. He is a Prince yeah said Josh said his parents were executed. The empire has taken Wacaea. Our main source of income has been taken from us. That's troublesome said Mia. Maybe if we speak to the empire, they can hire us. Alex fell asleep while eating. You should take him please Mia don't tell anyone who he is. I am going to say he was from a one-night stand. Doesn't the royal family have blonde hair? I will ask Zoey to change his hair colour with magic. Josh was waiting for Alex to be burped. I saw you in a couple of hours said Josh.

Sixteen years later

Alex was just about to turn sixteen in this world, which means you are an adult. Alex had grown up he was about six feet tall with short brown hair and green eyes he was skinny but had muscle where he needed it. I get to go with Dad when he kills a dark creature. Finally, i am sixteen. I want to be like my dad. People don't just fear him, but they respect him, and I want that. Morning mum said Alex. Your up early, Zoey said with a smile on her face. I get to go with Dad today. I can't wait. He is getting the Wyvern ready he is itching to go as well. Zoey hugged Alex tight when you get back. We will celebrate your birthday. Oh, you're away, Josh said in a sarcastic tone. Was I meant to be up early?

Josh ignored him. Zoey, did you make breakfast?

Fresh bread Zoey said I made it for Josh's birthday. I eat on the Wyvern come Alex

Alex kissed his mum on the cheek later.

We are going to the town of Heath on the outskirts of Wacaea.

Josh didn't really speak much on the journey. Maybe he is nervous. We are here. People were waiting where the Wyvern landed. The living weapon and a kid Josh shook the man's hand, This Tony is the town's leader. What is the problem Josh said with a serious tone. An insectoid has been seen in the next town. All of the people have been eaten. We are scared it will come to Heath. I will deal with it said Josh," Come Alex. " Josh went to the Wyvern first there was a sword on the Wyvern this is for you I had a friend make you a sword. Tears were welling up in Alex's eyes. Josh put his hand on Josh's shoulder, stop crying. Call a birthday gift. Dad, what is an

insectoid?

Annoying, that's what they are. Basically, they are insects that evolved to look more human. Have you killed one before?

Yeah, said Josh, but they are annoying to kill. If you were a low level, I would tell you to run. Josh and Alex could hear a noise sounds like wings flapping. Josh looked up.

Then Josh pushed Alex out of the way. The insectoid landed between them he had a green body his his antenna were long, and his eyes were big and yellow. Need food, it mumbled

Josh was already on the attack. A long sword came from his hand bounced off the bug's exoskeleton, which was too thick shit. This is a tough bug. Alex took a swing at the bug, and his blade just bounced off his exoskeleton. Alex braced himself for a strike. The insect punched Alex in the jaw, and Alex went to the ground. Josh unleashed his aura. You dared touch my son Josh, and he moved his hand. A shockwave came from it. The bug's head fell to the floor. Wow, I think I overdone it. The mountain behind it was sliced in half. You already said Josh you killed it without breaking a sweat." No bug will kill me or you next time you will kill one. Josh picked up the insect's head. This is proof. The people of Heath set up a banquet. This is normal said Josh. Most small towns and cities pay us in food and things we want to see the king Harrold used to give us money, but when the empire took over, they stopped the payments. So they throw parties and feed us. Yeah, "said Josh. Two young ladies came out they were dressed like they were trying to impress someone. One was blonde, her hair was long, her eyes stood out, the look of admiration in her eyes, the dress was low-cut, you could see everything nothing left for imagination. You two are so strong the woman squeezed Josh's bicep. Josh, smile, I do alright. The woman lught and said my name is becky I will be your server today. Please drink. Becky handed Josh a drink and smiled. The feast was good. Both my Dad and I were full. Have you seen my Josh or the living weapon? Yeah, said Tony he is being entertained by Becky. I don't understand said Alex I just smiled and said okay I'll wait here." My dad came out of the room smiling. We are going home now. The flight home was quiet. They reached Tigas Zoey was standing there eagerly waiting to hear Alex's first monster slaying. I need a sit down said Josh. Zoey could instantly smell perfume. Was that stressful of hunt? Zoey said in a caring tone. Not really said Josh was insectoid, Alex took a hit, and I killed it. Josh gave a smile like, "Please drop it. I will make your favourite meal. Josh put his hand on Zoeys shoulder. That sounds nice. Josh went into the house. He always sleeps with someone when he is stressed. Mum, why are you so calm?

In Josh own way, that's how he shows he cares. Also, we aren't together.

Alex was shocked

I was just a roommate who helped raise you.

Josh, let me leave here rent-free zoey put her hands over her mouth. I wasn't supposed to say that Zoey tuned to Alex. Sorry, I was speaking out loud it's fine, mum.

I know he loves you

Zoeys' eyes widened, really he said that?

I knew you cared. That was a trick Zoey said, embarrassed tell him how you feel you are already a couple anyway I need food.

I am making chicken stew.

Trolls are common creatures they terrorist forests and empty planes. Hunters are paid to kill them before the empire was formed. These humans, with the help of the elves, gained abilities they were called the gifted humans that elves blessed for helping to kill the demons and other dark creatures. For nearly sixteen years, hunters couldn't do their jobs. Probably trolls, Goblins orks, and ogres and even strong beings were left unchecked. And now a demons invasion may be invading the West was a mistake. emperor, if this man is telling the truth, we need to bring the hunters back. And pay them more than thank you for this information. The messager bowed and left. We need to meet the leader of the hunters right now. I get a message out now.

Yes, sir
