ep 1

"Nym! Stay back!"

Phocleus said as I, avoided the monster, it was scary... Fearless strikes kept coming our way. Yes we all are the 5 great rulers of this world but even us... can't beat this beast, all we can do is dodge and dodge we can't even get close, it's getting annoying at this point, we can't even use Magic because it is immune to magic.

Then I heard all of them scream.

"NYM! GET OUT OF THERE!"

They all tried to warn me, it turns out I had been cornered by this beast, I was so lost in my thoughts that I had not realized... It was too late.. The beast has already swung it's weapon towards me...

Everything seemed to slow down, I saw the weapon glisten under the moonlight.

"Is this the end?" I thought to myself, as the weapon got closer to me, I closed my eyes accepting my fate.. I have lived long enough I'm ready to come with you.. Raphiel.

At the last seconds of my life I didn't think about my empire, I didn't think about my people, or family, I thought of him, the reason I kept on living.

I chuckled at myself as I recall my memories of him.

Raphiel Alexander Cassemir, a half wolf breed, I bought him off a slave auction, I was still a little spoiled rascal back then, not knowing any responsibility. I bought him to play with me or so what I call torture was back then, for me torturing people to death was an entertainment, their screams, the expression they make. It was all heaven to me but Raphiel, he was different, as I pressed the hot branding iron to his skin he didn't react, he didn't even flinch nor did he show any emotions at all, he just looked at me blankly like I just asked a stupid question. I was intrigued, so I asked him why isn't he reacting at all.

"doesn't it hurt?"

I looked at him the branding iron still pressed on his skin. He scoffed rolling his eyes away from my interested gaze.

"Hurt? I've felt worse"

Worse? What is worse than being branded by a piping hot metal being pressed into your skin? That was it, he definitely piqued my interest. I asked him.

"Tell me, what's worse than this, then I'll give you a chance not to die"

I commanded my eyes gleaming with interest.

"Sure"

He shrugged nonchalantly, and proceeded to tell me all his almost death experiences, and there were a lot of them, like how he got bitten by a crocodile, I was laughing intrigued and amazed about his stories.

As the heir to the throne of my father, my freedom was kept short, that's why I enjoyed seeing others in pain, I was jealous

"How could those lowly bastards go out and I couldn't?"

I've always thought to myself. As Raphiel goes on, and on, I was amazed that such a world exists over the palace walls, the beautiful landscape he described, animals, and people, I didn't know such world existed

I muttered in amazement the iron branding was on the floor laying while I was beside it looking up at Raphiel, amaze and astounded bout all the stories he has told

There is a clear line between life and death, and this guy uses it like a jump rope.

"You're a fun guy, I will keep you alive for my entertainment"

Those were the words I left, but little did I know I would regret it later…
