I looked at the man's face with pure rage. My body moved with blinding speed. I was an inch away from his face. I punched him as hard as I could right in the face. He went flying and nearly fell to his death. "Looks like I got no other choice." He raised his staff and chanted gibberish. His skin was disappearing and all that was left of him was his skeleton. I was shocked. I didn't know how to respond. Why would he do that? I got my answer straight away. His body was reforming but his skin was purple. They just seemed to materialize until a body was formed. A black mist circled the body. The most disappeared and revealed a tall muscly purple monster wielding two blood red katanas. My body didn't want to move.
The monster inched closer until he was right up in my face. "My name is Kromethus, the slayer of worlds." Then my head got chopped off. I wouldn't recommend having your head chopped off since it's very painful. When I got decapitated, a dark-purple shadow came out from the wound. It attached to my head and pulled it back to my neck. I wasn't dead but the pain was unbearable. My vision became blurry and I started seeing black dots in my eyes. If i fight him in my state I would undoubtedly die even with this strange power. But if I run away I would still die, so I did the most heroic thing that I could, I ran. I didn't get far until old purple man leaped in front of me and stabbed me in the gut multiple times. "Ahhhh, Arggggggg." I can't die now. The strange shadows aren't helping me this time. I won't lose! "I CAN'T GIVE UP!" I didn't know what I was doing, luckily my body did, I subconsciously stuck my hand out. I felt a strong tug on my entire body, my whole body felt like it was on fire. I looked towards the purple monster. He was impaled with a thousand black swords, they glowed an dark purple.
"So it really is you Arcadius, your throne is waiting your highness." The monster laughed ominously until he disintegrated. The swords clanked against the volcanic rocks. The slow winds scattered the dust into nothingness. I fell to my knees coughing up blood. The power from the crystal was gone. My body was literally burning, patches of my skin were gone. The stab wounds weren't healing. Then I saw the same lights as before from my training. But instead of a bird, it was a rainbow colored dragon. And instead of the dragon absorbing the colors, it exploded out of the dragon. The dragon looked at me and said "Go North and search for the Cerana Ocean, there you will find the ruins of Jopeto, the ancient city of memory. That is the only way to achieve the spirit if time."
I opened my eyes and found myself being carried by a women, she had dark brown hair, glasses, and a small mole on the bottom-right of her cheek. I noticed something interesting about her eyes, the one on the left was blue and the one on the right was yellow. Her pupils were not circle like a eye should be but it was in the shape of an gear. She caught me staring at her eyes. "Oh don't worry about them I'm perfectly fine!" though something about her voice says otherwise, but I decided not to ask her since she hasn't killed me. I looked at my abdomen, my wounds were completely gone and all my skin was intact. "Where am I going?" I asked. "Endeour wished to see you so I came to pick you up."
"Who's Endeour?" "He's the CEO of the Hero organization, oh and he's also the leader of the Elites." she replied.
We made it to a strange black skyscraper, on the sides were the words "HERO" spelled in blue. "So, who are you?" "Oh, the name's Diane I work for Endeour." said Diane. We entered the building, from left to right were Hi-tech looking computers, there were rows of people on the computers. I managed to peek at one of the screens, "Project Winter Moon." I didn't know what that meant but decided to shrug it off. The first floor was pretty much all computers. At one of the walls was an elevator. She pressed the call button to signal the elevator to come down, it only took a few seconds for thr elevator to arrive. We got in, I was in awe. An entire wall was filled with buttons. There were 500 floors in total, Diane pressed the 500th one. "Where's Lissy?" I asked. "Oh her wounds were harder to heal so we put her on the rehabilitation floor, she should be fine in a few days though we have to be careful." "Why do you have to be car-." I was cut off by the sound of the elevator door opening, right in front of me was a man who looked like he was in his twenties, he had spiky blonde hair, blue eyes, and a large white cape draped around his back. "Ah, you must be Ace, I've been hearing a lot about you, especially from Mondred." Endeour gave out a chuckle at his last line.
"Why did you want to see me?" I asked. "I wanted to see you because I'm interested in your ability, as you may already know you possessed the same ability as Mondred. Also, you have obtained one of the Seven Spirits of Apocalypse, I want to use your power to defeat the Demon King, I want you to become a hero."
