Hero Turned King

A little history

Sitting on the cold ground at the bottom of a dungeon with a short sword stuck in his shoulder as he gradually lost his grip on reality, thoughts of betrayal began to run through his mind unable to grasp the reason behind his betrayal he was about to accept his fate when suddenly he realized that if he were to die here, he would give his betrayer the satisfaction of complete victory over him, so he clutched his teeth and should out "HEAL!!!" at the top of his voice as a green light eliminated the dungeon floor, he immediately lost consciousness soon after.

Six months prior, in the halls of the cattle of Benedic, seven individuals trodded accompanied by a butler wearing a black suit holding a cain in his right hand as he was explaining the world to them. He explained that at the moment the world was basically divided into four parts, the three main kingdoms and the demon continent. He explains that the Kingdoms are The Kingdom of Drake, The Kingdom of Algeta and The Kingdom of Ages that ruled over many various smaller Kingdom. He told the that the three kingdoms themselves we're not really on good terms but still they had an alliance as the forth force the demon continent would have defeated them if they did not come together to repel it, the butler adds on that's what's more problematic about the demon continent is that they have no leader and yet they are a force that no one great Kingdom can repel so if they were to band together under one ruler the demon continent could be a distructive force to the whole world. The butler continued to educate the seven individuals when suddenly they heard the sound of the bell roaring through the Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Benedict was one of the buffer kingdoms of the great Kingdom of Ages. The Kingdom of Benedict sat at the boarder that separates the demon continent from the rest of the other kingdoms so one of the first stops the demons need to go through is the Kingdom of Benedict in order to reach the rest of the world. The structure of the demon continent was a water locked continent with two ways out one leading to the Benedict Kingdom the other to the Kingdom of Stone. Back to the ringing bell the butler turned to seven individuals and asked them about who would be going first. They looked at each other and then Luca said he would take this one. Luca started walking towards the Kingdom walls as the archers by the walls kept the enemy at bay.

The Kingdom of Benedict itself actually held no military might but rather put all their hope in the large thick wall that separates them from the demons, the wall was structured in such a way that it had patches across it that gave way for archers and it basically had no gate on that side. The wall towered over the town, being the biggest structure of the Kingdom. On top of the wall were giant boulders that were to be pushed down if the enemy was to get too close. At the two corners of the wall hang two large bell one at each end that were to be rang at a time of demon attacks. The archers were to push the enemy back whilst waiting for a warrior sent from the Kingdom.

The archers were hard at work repelling the demons but their hordes seemed endless, when finally a man arrived atop the wall and jumped down. At first the archers were dumbfounded but as soon as they heard a cheer from the top shouting that 'The one man army' has arrived, cheers echoed as Luca reached the ground he began to fight the demons who had a humanoid figure with goat legs and horns as well as pink skin and brown spots. Luca fought bare handed for a while but noticed that the army seemed to not be reducing at all in number but seemed to be increasing, so finally deciding to use a bit of magic, Luca rubbed his hands together and black flames started to emanate from them. Lica now fought with his left hand against the demons as he compresses his power with his right then suddenly he smirked and an explosion happened, demons that were two meters away from him felt the impact.

Luca now feeling rather bored in the middle of a battle acknowledged that it was now time he ended it, then his hands started to glow a light green shade as five magic circles appeared above his head. Out of the central circle a hand came out as the rest of the arm followed and in a matter of seconds the whole body was out it was a woman dressed in all white with silver long hair laying down on a soft cloud. She can close to her summoner Luca and wrapped her hands around him and started singing her voice was beloved by all allies but for the enemy it was a completely different effect, the demons hearing the song caused their heads to combust as a greyish smoke came from their cadavers and gathered in a small ball above them. In a matter of minutes the whole demon army was reduced to cinders and only the demon general was left alive.

The demon general was unlike the other demons he was stronger, bigger and seemed to be smarted as he survived by picking up two smaller demons and using them to cover his ears. The girl behind Felix stopped singing as they watched the demon come closer. The demon towered over Luca and threatening Luca it raised it's huge axe that it had dragged with it it prepared to swing at Luca when he just muttered that he thought that he would have no chance to use the others, immediately out of the remaining magic circles above him dots of light came out that exploded as soon as they came in contact with the demons skin suddenly an explosion was heard and a light erupted from there even piercing the heavens.

Luca now done with his fight walked towards the small grey ball and took it then started hovering up towards the wall and after a while went over it, the archers were in cheers when suddenly Luca began to feel dizzy, the girl on the cloud still with him took him onto her cloud and flew up, Luca told her not to worry but she knew that in reality Luca was actually in sociable and gets socially anxious hence why his body seemed to be giving out, she joked saying that he held the power to take over kingdoms and yet his greatest weakness was crowds of people. Luca just shrugged this of and they set off back to the castle. Upon arrival Luca waved his hand and a magic circle appeared, the girl starting to go in just told him that she wished he would not take too long to summon her again. Luca then opened the castle door.

Is Luca's true strength now revealed or is something holding him back, as for the castle walls does it hold allies or hidden enemies.

Old rivalry starting anew

Meanwhile in the castle the other six individuals were getting ready to sit down for some tea when Felix possed the question of why it was that Luca seemed to be taking so long to finish such a simple task. The rest agreed that he was taking a bit too long for something they regarded as trivial. At that exact moment Luca walked in, ignoring Felix's questions Luca walked up to the table full of breakfast snacks and took a couple of biscuits and cup cakes adding them to his invitory. Luca took a sip of tea and began to walk out, Felix interrupted the silence asking him where he thought he was going. Luca looked back and continued on his was to the door, Felix now enraged rubbed his fingers together and sparks were seen, in a matter of seconds lightning was seen flying towards Luca. At this moment the door was being opened and the Butler was walking in when Luca dodged the lightning and it went straight towards the Butler.

The room was full of smoke after such a collision, but the Butler came out without a scratch. As Felix was apologizing to the Butler, Luca took this time to slip out. Walking in the streets of the Kingdom Luca was joyous as he was making his way back home, he bought a black bag and rune stones from a Werewolf merchant and continued on his way. As he turned the corner he saw a group of guys surrounding a girl, the girl seemed uncomfortable and just wanted to leave. Luca walked up to the guys pushing one of them out of the way. As soon as the girl saw him it was as if her eyes were sparkling as she began to make her way to him finally saying that she was happy to see her brother as she clung to him. The guys threatened Luca highlighting that if he wished to live it was better he left his sister behind. Luca taking no mind to this took his sister's hand and began making there way home when suddenly a dozen stone golems appeared before them, Luca merely flickered his fingers and the golems were blown away. The gang of guys just stood there in shock as the two siblings walked away.

Luca and his sister, Alice finally got home and now Luca had a black bag in hand. Luca sat down and got Alice to sit down with him for tea as they both started to catch up. She caught her brother of guard when she asked him to help her get stronger so that she would now go with him. A bit hesitant at first but he later agreed. Luca took some time to rest as his sister was meditating in the backside of the house. Alice was energetic as she thought to herself that those days that she normally spent alone when her brother was summoned would disappear as she would now be with him. In mid-thought she was interupted by Felix who had come to see her even though she had no interest in him. Felix had brought her flowers that she accepted out of humility as Felix now spoke his mind on how he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever set his eyes on and how he was to promise to give her the life she deserves if she were to accept his advances.

Alice was regarded by most as beautiful, her beauty is said to captivate any room she walks into, the eligence in her step, the sweetness of her smile as well as the well built figure that awoke men's desires. Alice knew that she had a lot of people who wished to suit her, but out of fear of Felix very few dared. Alice was happy about Felix's advances not because she was interested in him but simply because he put some peace into her life by scaring of all the men who sought her. Felix a bit annoyed now that Alice seems to not be paying attention to him, he took a hold of her arm forcefully getting her attention. She shrugged his hand off as she started walking away to go into the house but Felix put up a barrier that stood in her way. Felix then trodded towards her as her gently stroked her hair with his hand ending on her chin.

Alice forcefully turned from him, so Felix just waved his hand making sure she couldn't turn from him. Unfortunately for him, Luca's got up from his nap, now looking for his sister he walked out of the house. Infront of the house something seemed odd to Luca as he could sense Felix's power nearby, at first he took gave it no though then suddenly he remembered, he jolted to the back of the house seeing Felix forcefully holding his sister in place. Without thinking Luca started taking out a greyish smoke that began to envelope the whole area, Felix was actually unaffected as his brown aura covered him. Luca was enraged but his anger was disrupted when his sister started coughing profusely, taking ahold of himself Luca stopped emmiting smoke waved his hand and took a hold of his sister. Luca saw his sister who was now in more danger because of him started to cry out.

Felix just stood above Luca who was now on the ground with his sister in hand. Felix now starting to mock Luca for losing control as he was interrupted mid-speech by the chiming of the bell. Halting for a moment turning his head to the wall, Felix was so shocked he stumbled back and fell over as he saw the shadow-like figure that toward over the wall. Luca with his sister still in hand stood up and constiplating what to do, looked at his sister. Then suddenly a boom echoed through the kingdom as Vigor sent a massive blue sword slash towards the big shadow-like figure. The Luca decided. He gave his sister a necklace whose use was not exposed yet.

Felix who still sat shocked on the ground finally stood up and began to minipulate the ground below him to form steps as he headed towards the walls, as Vigor was initiated in battle with the figure. Luca letting go of his sister's hand instantaneously disappeared from that spot and appeared atop the wall. When both Luca and Felix were atop the wall they realized that it appears as if the figure was not accumulating any damage from Vigors continuous assault. Then suddenly a red circle started to appear below the figure and it began to slowly disappear. Luca took this opportunity and set off his grey ball over the figure to begin absorbing the blackish smoke that emitted from the disappearing figure. Luca, Felix and Vigor now stood atop the wall looking towards the demon continent when Gwej arrived and pointed towards a figure that seems to be sitting atop a stone. The four of them slowly mad there way towards the figure only to realize that it was a humanoid demonic figure with golden fur around it's body with black stripes that seem to be moving around it's body with a monkey like face and black flowing hair.

The demon figure still sitting on the rock turned it's head towards the upcoming four individuals and then a grin appeared on his face then suddenly a sense of dread swept across the guys. Then suddenly out of pure instinct Vigor and Felix powered up and ran towards the demon.

Is there charge really the right thing to do or is their instincts going to lead to something even worse...

The moment when everything changed

Felix and Vigor charging towards the demon when suddenly Gwej realized that the demons grin was increasing, he was about to warn them when suddenly the demon flicked it's fingers and an explosion was heard as dust arose. The dust starting to disperse they realized they were somewhere else where it seems that the ground had instantaneously disappeared, they all stood on pillars above a void. They stood there silently when suddenly laughter roored from below as a thick dense white fog arose. Out of shear instinct Vigor used a sword slash to his right where a figure just jumped off to another pillar. The demon was now visible when it apologized for it's lack of introduction as it introduced it self as Leo one of the seven demonic swords of the Demon Continent, Leo then welcomed them to his home that he called the Lions den. Luca started to look around trying to see if there was a way out, seeing no hope he decided to confront Leo but realized that it seemed as if Leo was not there as his legs seemed somewhat transparent. Felix attacked the figure but it dispersed into a puff of smoke, then a beam fell from the sky and strock the pillar Felix was now on but luckily Gwej was able to save him in time.

Leo shouted and brought attention to himself as he hovered above them, all four leaped towards him but he deafly dodged them as he jabbed his palm to Vigors underbelly sending him flying off. Out of breath Vigor struggled to stand back up when he realized that Gwej and Luca constantly attached Leo but it seemed that Leo was just playing a game with them. Vigor realized that Felix was nowhere to be seen. Vigor jumped in to attack when suddenly Leo jumped back, as he landed he lightly swayed his hand in the air and everyone fell to the ground atop the pillar, as for Felix he dropped from the wall he was supposedly climbing. Leo looked at them and noted that their strength was not bad but it was still no match for him. Leo starting to float up left them with an acknowledgement of their strength and telling them that he would be waiting for them by the entrance whilst hinting that they will not survive if they went deeper there only hope was up.

Back in the kingdom of Benedict there was an uproar in the castle as four of their kingdoms defenders have instantaneously vanished along with the demon attack. Seth deciding that optimism was not an option was ready to announce the four dead but the butler stopped him reminding him that it would cause an unnecessary panic, but deep down Seth knew that leaving the citizens with a false sence of security would be more troublesome in the long run. Savannah took off to the church in order to pray for their safe return.

Luca, Felix, Vigor and Gwej slowly made their way to the top of the den. They started to hear unnatural sounds which prompted them to think that they were close to the top, in essence they were right but they soon realized that it was safer to stay in the den than it was outside. The four heroes now cautiously made there way up now reacting to every sound and movement as they could now hear the rumbles of outside echoing. As the four were now going up a flight of stairs they noticed light that was penetrating into the den. Eager Felix ran up but was stopped in his tracks when he saw Leo sitting on a rock waiting for them and the light was from two bright balls that hovered over Leo. When all the other three of them were present Leo began to clap his hands while congratulating them on making it this far, but suddenly he stopped clapping as a smile crept onto his face as he told them that the real challenge was outside. He gave them an alternative of fighting him or just exiting but letting them know after they exit they can't return. With such an alternative the four of them remembered that last time they stood no chance against him so the decided to leave. As soon as they exited the den what they saw made them second guess their decision.

There was a savage wasteland filled with majestic and fantastic beasts. The boundless night sky was filled with the echoes of intense and fierce clashes in a desolate part of the wasteland was a rampaging beast, it had a scaly hide, a trunk with enormous tusks and a pair of longhorns protruding from its head. A collosal bird of prey appeared above it with a ferocious gleam in its eye. It snapped its beak towards the elephant like beast and swiftly ascended int the night sky as it's feathers shone with an ethereal light as it soared. Suddenly a giant eye appeared in the dark sky above it, stunning the colossal bird causing it to veere of its flight path. The massive eye belong to a titan like figure that towered over its surroundings, the features of the titan were not truly visible but it seemed to have a single eye centered on its forehead like a cyclops. The titan seemed to wield a giant axe that it vigorously swang towards the bird, the impact scattered a massive wave of debris containing trees and boulders. The titan took no attention to the four heroes and continued on its way. Meanwhile the four heros just stood there dumpfounded.

Felix now realizing that Leo's preposition gave them a better chance of surviving than the outside world, second guessing their decision they had no choice but to move forward but still there fate's seemed sealed. Luca decided to take charge but even he was unsure of what to do, he pointed out that the initial problem is not knowing where they were or were home was. Luca started to glow as he began to hover above ground then his eyes turned grey and he summoned an army of large lizard-like men with black raven like wings, his army began to spread out. Unfortunately his entire glowing fiasco peaked the interest of another monster nearby. Gwej realized something that seemed to be concerning as the dense atmosphere that surrounded them seemed to be gradually lifting almost as if the monsters were leaving. The air seemed to start to becoming more dense as a wave of demonic energy swept across them. Out of shear fear Luca and Vigor jumped back out of terror. Gwej and Felix found it odd that it seemed like there bodies were frozen unable to even flinch.

Vigor lifted his sword, beginning to accumulate energy with it a blue aura started to envelope the sword. With a stern look Vigor swang his sword and the aura of the sword slashed through the dense atmosphere and slicing it into two revealing a green blob like being that resembles an obese man, an almost round figure with two stumpy legs and relatively long arms and whose head basically looks like a small lump. The figure trodded towards them one step at a time whilst the pressure of his power left the four unable to move, then when all hope was almost lost they heard a sinister crackling sound in their minds asking if they needed help. After a moment of silence the voice repeated and this time adding on that if they wanted it's help all they had to do was ask.

Faced with a figure they had no hope of defeating or asking for help from a voice they had never heard...
