ch1

dark mages are seen as evil, that is something everyone knows, they use demonic powers, can create undead, and even kill gods, though only dark mages know that these things are not exactly correct.

"so why is this girl being so nice to me?" a person wearing black tattered robes asked himself while looking at the weak looking girl making tea in front of him.

the robed man was once the strongest dark mage erebus, he was known as the dark mage god, but now, he has lost most of his powers after being betrayed by the other dark mages, he lost his powers while trying to escape to another world, because he lost his powers the magic he used to go to another world messed up, and so he appeared in a river, almost drowning.

but then a weak looking girl jumped in the water and pulled him to safety, and even brought him to the house where the girl lived, "well, not exactly a house, more like a massive block with small rooms in it." erebus thought while looking around the room with only one window.

the room did not even have a bed, only one couch and one chair, with a table in the middle, there were some bookshelves without books next to one of the walls, there was only one side room with a toilet and a shower.

"u-umm, the tea is ready." the girl said kindly to the robed man, interrupting the silence.

"ah, thank you, girl." the robed man said with a smile as he took a sip.

"i am not a girl, i am a boy, and my name is kay." the boy said while pouting.

"ah, excuse me. i have not introduced myself yet, i am known as erebus, kay." erebus said.

"so, mr erebus, why were you drowning in that river?" kay asked curiously.

"well, i am ashamed to admit it, but i was using a transportation spell, and i messed up, so i landed in the water." erebus said calmly.

"wait, a transportation spell? you are a mage?" kay stood up from his seat.

"yes i am a mage, what is wrong?" erebus confusedly asked.

"nothing, i am just a bit jealous, since i am a tamer." kay answered sadly.

"hmm? tamer? so you are a tamer, good, that is what i need."

"why would you need a useless tamer that can not even control a weak monster?" kay asked.

"now that is even better! i have an offer for you, kay."

"offer?"

"yes, an offer, you help me collect some things, and in exchange i will become your tamed beast, how does that sound?" erebus asked with a strange look in his eyes.

"but you are a human, how can you become a tamed beast?" hearing this offer kay was confused, because humans can not tame humans, this has always been known.

"i am not far from human, i am a spirit, a humanoid spirit." as erebus said this his robe disappeared, and his entire body turned into a blue and purple humanoid blur with white eyes.

"this is my true form." the transformed erebus said with an echoing voice.

this scared kay, he thought erebus was a human but now he found out he was a monster.

"now, is the deal on, or not?" erebus urged

after a short while of thinking kay answered.

"fine, i accept, just do not regret this." as kay said this his body started to hurt, with the pain came a feeling, a feeling like every part of himself was becoming stronger and stronger.

together with the physical pain there was also a headache, as the headache got stronger kay suddenly remembered things he had never seen, after looking through the memories he realized that the memories belonged to erebus.

the memories were painful, even the most happy memories ended badly, as if erebus had no good memories, but even so, erebus never gave up hope, he kept on going forward, this inspired kay, since erebus never gave up, why would he?

looking at erebus with one of his hands on his head sam realized that the same was happening to him.

eventually the pain got so bad that kay was unable to handle it and fainted.

the last thing kay heard was erebus saying "goodnight."
