"I-I am sorry,son.Even if i am the strongest I still cannot do a simple job called a father." a man exclaimed with a frown looking at me with a passionate eyes while slowly grabbing my back with one hand and another one to his chest plate.Red things colour the man green chest plate making it slightly yellowish in colour.
The man who seems to be my father laugh seeing the blood and then stop and said while closing his eyebrows together with a smirk;
"I only hope you achieve warm love and live a peaceful life.Don't become like me who had fallen into darkness."
Then he stopped for a brief moment and said;
Well,if you still insist going to the harsh pathway then brace yourself as it is not easy though it is fun.
He holds me tightly with his sturdy hand while rewarding me a warm smile.Although he looks very young,the man had scars and bruises that showed a face which determined that he is a warrior who had gone through a lot of battle.
"Ah,I forgot something"The man reach out to grab a ring from his chest plate.A blood splurted uncontrollably as he let go his hand.
After the man mumbled a word,suddenly a bright cross pendant fall out from the ring to his palm.
"Here take this,I know its only a small gift but this pendant will give you a clue about my whereabouts"
"Eventhough you are strong to others,don't become a selfish person as they are still a lot of people more powerful than you.Our species have become foolish as we though we are the strongest species when we were the weakest of all.They are still more unexplore thing that we haven't investigate."
I felt drowsy after listening to his long speech.The only thing I can heard was "Blablablablablablabla" so I raised my dominant hand to act as a surrender flag.
However,his face lit up like a torch and continued.
"Always stay bright and don't walk the wrong path.Become a righteous person and lead human to a peaceful life like how the old good days were."
Beyond earth even lies more creatures to be explore.
I was pissed because he seem to challenge me by going on with his "blablablablabla"so I muster up all my strength and slap him with all my strength.
***
The species called "Human" was specially created by the creator to surpass other creatures with wisdom and intelligent.Thus,humans made a lot of technologies that helps with one strength,speed,flexibility and even one that help the disable.
However,human can't outdone this creatures with just wisdom and intelligent and suffer uncountable damage.
It is believe that one creature strength is equivalent to 100 human.
After thousands of years,wars between human and other unknown species ended and was forgotten.
It was simply written in History with no prove lead to this monster because this species was long ago seen.

May we meet again...
"ssssssssssssssss"a blue snake crawl to a tree to suprise a bird.
Unfortunately,the bird was very high so it fell down the tree and hit a window.
The house owner was still sleeping despite its
loud hissing.
Suddenly,he open his eyes and gaze solemnly to the snake.Approaching the snake,he slap the window and it fell from the window just like that.
"Tch,The same dream again"
"Aahh,its so excuriating...."
A young boy with a messy hair mumbled to himself.The boy had an orange curly hair followed with his black eye lashes matching with an obvious dark circles forming under his perfectly shaped eyes.
He had a tall appearance and broad shoulder which was unusual for a 15 years old kid.
The time currently shows its 6 a.m. in the morning.The boy slowly rose and immediately do a weird stance like characters in a fantasy world.
"Hmmm,Is this the correct way to unleash my unknown superpower..?
Wait?Why am I doing this thing in the first place?"
As he was doing his weird stance,he looked straight to an old mirror which accompany him for a long time.
The mirror barely fit his tall appearance which made him very hard to be approached by most of his peers.
This boy is a normal 15 year old who love to fantasize about magic and superpower.
He is an independent and hardworking boy.Unsuprisingly,he score average in overall grades among his peers since he was sent to school.
No one live the normal peaceful life anymore after the so called evil faction "Night Avengers" surrender.Bullying become normal for the strong and getting bullied become normal for the weak.So it is impossible for the boy to be carefree.
Of course,some ignorant students start to rebel but gets beaten easily.Bad rumours spread and their life became hell.After that,all of them commit suicide due the stress building up in their brain.
Truly it is a forsaken world.
After that,the headmaster reluctantly created a system which is "the strong will prevail and the weak will perish".Such system was abuse by the strong to show off and use by the weak to get stronger.
The system is often describe as a cruel system but no one can do anything as they are powerless.Since then,no one dares to rebel even the teachers aren't an exception.
Fortunately,a faction arise called "The Chosen".The faction is rumoured to consist of powerful people.Many believe the faction purpose is to save the world from being control by the hypocrite leader.
However,some also think that the faction purpose is to cause chaos and build their own kingdom.
Unfortunately due to that,the growth of the faction slowly worsen causing them to move carefully and slowly behind the darkness.Every bright or righteous person dream to join this unreachable faction as well as the boy.
*ringtone*
Daoist4201:Oi,wake up already,Dante.
Dante is the name given for a person who can endure everything yet the name doesn't suit the boy who currently lives alone.
Or is it?
Dante stretch his right limb before answering the unknown ringtone in his phone.
Well technically,he knows it was his friend because he is the only contact he had in his phone.
He looks at the phone message with his usual black unsuprise eyes.
"Ahh,this guy again"reflection of the phone shows a wry smile of Dante.
Dante:Yeah,what?
Daoist4201:Ah,I sure envy you.My parents is strict so waking up at 6 p.m. is a nope.
Dante:Just be greatful that you have a parents to care for.
Unknown: .....
Dante:Oi,we have known each other for 3 years now yet you didn't even give me your actual name
..
Since Dante was taken care by the government,he was also expose to internet allowing him to befriend the unknown person who had taken care of him mentally through internet.
Daoist4201:Relax.We will meet one day
"pffft,this guy always think he act cool"Dante laugh as he saw the instant reply of his old friend.
Dante:going to grocery store,Bye
Unknown:*Log out*
Dante is an orphan who doesn't have any relatives.
Because of that,the government decided to take care of him and in return Dante will work to pay his debt slowly in the future.
So,Dante used this rare opportunity and bought a lot of unnecessary thing such as manga and so on.
Its not a suprise because he was still a young kid under the shell.
After that,he finally realise his debt increases a lot and started to spend wisely the money only to buy ramen packets once a weekend forming his independent and hardworking personality.
Apparently,this young boy also earn money from his multiple job such as washing dishes,being a temporary worker at a grocery store and willingly helping his neighbour wash cars to earn some cash.
Before going outside,Dante went to his bathroom and stare at his pale face.He daze at the mirror before squinting his eyes.
"My face looks very tired"he grumbled slowly.
The distance between his house and the grocery story isn't that far so walking did not consumed his energy.
"Good evening,uncle.Hope you have a great day"Dante spoke to the cashier whom he known as he was his senior when working at the place.
After buying a new excusively type of ramen packet.He whistle happily as it was the last packet and he manage to get it.
"La la la la,What a great day it is."
*10 minutes later*
He reach out his hand to turn around his temporary house door knob.
"AHHHHHHHH!!HELP ME!"
Dante turns around with a confuse face as he search for the source of plead.
"Where is it?"
Then,his eyes caught 4 guys harassing a woman at the alley where unimaginable incidents frequently happen.
Even after police patrolled several times,unimaginable incidents still occurred frequently as it was a quiet place to commit sins.
A woman wearing a red dress which reveal her cleavage was shouting desperately to get attention for help behind a narrow alley.
The man with a big smile who look alike joker was harassing the women with his lackeys.He was wearing a coat and surely recognize to be a noble with only a look.
"Shut up,Bitch Its your fault to tempt me."
The man complained and starts slowly removing her dress.
As Dante was forcing himself to turn around he heard a voice.
"Wait"
The man and his lackey turn around and shot an obvious killing intent to kill.
"I'II call the police if you go further."
Dante repay back the criminals with a shot of determination look.
He may look courageous but inside he was shivering and scared.The woman cried happily as her plead was answer.
The incident happens when she was returning from a karaoke party with her friends when a suspicious looking group with creepy grin follow her.
Unluckily,after 10 minutes of tom and jerry chase he was cornered by the suspicious group.
She was about to give up after shouting a desperate plead when a young boy who looks between 14-16 years old save her.He was a boy who was tall enough to match an adult yet also have a powerful willpower.
"Dammit"
Suprisingly,it was Dante unconsciously spoke "wait" to the criminal harassing the woman.
His mind was screaming telling him to run but his heart whisper "save her".The pendant that he always wore since he was born was also moving as to tell Dante to save her also.
He never intends to help the woman but his heart force him to do it.
Since he went to elementary school,he was your typical shonen protagonist.
He was not strong neither weak.Some fear him and some don't.
Dante always help his classmate just for his own reputation to increases.
But today,he unintentionally done something like someone was forcing him.
Today is your lucky day because i am in a good mood.Boys,beat him up but dont kill him."The man laugh with a snort coming out ordering his lackey.
The man lackeys consist of 3 peoples.They don't look strong neither weak.One of them wear a loose t-shirt and a black trousers like a normal criminal in the loose wears.
The man seems to be the boss among the lackeys.
He is equipped with a brass knuckles on his right hand while the others seem to not use any weapon.
He wore a bear tattoo on his right arm to maybe show his amazing power.
Normal People might think that Dante don't have any chance to fight with them but he was a champion in brawling among his peers.
Furthermore,he also trains everyday even if his sleep schedule is messed up but fighting 3 people is beyond for 15 years old boy.
"Can you let the woman go?I'II surely repay you back."Dante used his only opportunity to save the woman.
"AHHAHAHAHAAHAHH.What do you want to repay me back with?"The man ask looking at Dante like a predator looking at its food.
"I'm 15 years old and I am still a healthy boy.Surely,you can sell me for a high price in the slaving market."
"Hmm.You are smart,sure I will let her go but to compensate for the lose we will beat you up"The man said with a hoarse voice.
Hearing that Dante smile but truthfully he wants to escape and sleep forever forgetting about life but in this harsh world there is nothing free.
Since he was born,he was determine as an orphan without any relatives.
There was a time when someone care about him in the past.It was a caregiver that recently given him a lot of attention.
He doesn't understand why she cares about him but he still feel an undeniable love.
After 5 years,The caregiver finally showed her true colour.She was a normal girl who desperately need money to pay her debt.
She tries to trick him to believe her so that if one day she was given permission to be his guardian,she will get benefit from his deceased parents.
However,she realised that she was trick because Dante did not have any parents who cares for him after hearing the rumours about him from her boss.
Dante only treasure was a silver pendant which may worth a couple breads.
Since then,she ignores him and started to target another orphan.
The government suddenly taken a liking of his unusual personality and started to take care of his education but with purpose.
After that,Dante was force to form a mature mind so he can manage to live on his own.
The man lackeys grins seeing Dante determination look.He wants to beat that determination face to a pulp although Dante eyes was cover by his long hair.
"Oi,no junior you go first after that we will follow then"The possible boss lackey order the junior lackey.
"Hehe.Itadakimasu"The junior also grin after hearing his senior giving him permission.It was truly a blessings since he needs someone to relieve his stress after he lose continuos gamble with his brothers.
The junior swings his fist upwards after closing his distance with Dante.
For a brief moment the junior notice his opponent saying something in slow motion as he swing his fist aiming for an uppercut.
"I am not going down without a fight"
The guy widen his eyes,trying to stop his fist,but fail to do so.
"I-Impossible,I am an abnormal!How?!?!"
Unexpectedly,Dante expect the swing and dodge backwards.Then,Dante close the gap in an instant.He powers up his legs and aim the junior popliteal.
"Agghhhh"The junior said as he was about to fell down and his face fell and smack the cement floor with a loud thump.Continuosly blood can be trace flowing down the guy face.
Not done,Dante swiftly run to the second guy to give him his precious reward.
"BOTH OF YOU!ATTACK TOGETHER!!"The boss said with a wide-eyed after seeing the unbelievable attack done by a a mere 15 years old boy.
The boss of lackey jump and tried to punch Dante with his big palm.The punch knockback Dante and force him to be pushed a few inches from him.
After stabilising his body,suddenly the boss madly charged at Dante.
Instead of fighting back he splendidly trick him that he was going to attack by dodging backwards again.
*BAMM*
The sound makes after the boss of lackey smash his palm to the cement floor and makes a big crack.
Dante quickly bend his back 45 degrees to avoid the second attack.
However,he realised that his legs has lose its power to move.
"HAHAHAHAHA,You are good at fighting but you cannot avoid a mere bullet"The boss smile pointing a gun to Dante.
"Ah fuck,Why did I do this again"His mind relentlessly tries to blame himself.
"Fucking bitch,you think I will just let you go?I am going to make you a my underling,wait no a slave"The boss shows an obnoxious face along with his lackey.
"No³,we can just make him a brawler as he is too good to dodge our attack.Not only that,we can also make millions of money at our disposable."
After 5 minutes
He was beaten until he was near to death after losing his willpower to fight.This always happens to Dante.
Since he was strong,he was always recruited to become his peers followers eventhough they are still 15 years old.He doesn't care about becoming the strongest and being someone follower so he refused resulting to him being beaten up.
"Let's go sell this boy"The boss glance at the boy and to his lackey waiting for their answer.
"No.Stop"A shadow appeared.
"Ah,come on not again"The boss said with a disgust look.
"Yeah,not gonna happen again"The shadow shows it terrible smile.
Suddenly,The shadow appear between the boss and his lackey and choke them.
"Go away now or I will kill you"The shadow slowly turn to a boy wearing a blue jacket with a writing "Badass"and a black cap after the streetlight reflect his shadow.
The boss and his lackeys run away like a prey running from its predator.
"W-why a-are y-you helping me?"Dante stutter at his word as he stare at the shadow back.
"I was order by someone.Anyways here a message for you.Go to your phone and check an email,you'II know it"The boy whisper to him.
"W-wait what is your name?"Dante tries to get up but failed.
*Shwuf*
The boy dissapeared into the darkness.
"Is it magic?Ha that's amazing.I also want that"Dante said before fainting.
The woman who Dante helped quickly called the ambulance to save his life saviour.
"Thank you.Thank you so much."The woman said to give her appreciation.
