Black seed was a secluded area not belonging to any region. It was like a black market for braves of all kinds.Relics, information, maps to hidden crypts were all traded here.But today, Black seed was going to serve as a meeting venue...Shuntal walked into a dark and shaggy building, the inside looked much like a cafe and there were six other figures in the cafe."Well well well, if it isn't the pacifist geezer himself." A man wearing a black hat and a blazer mocked at the appearance of Shuntal."Huhuhu." Shuntal caresses his beard. "It's good to see you again, Dark Saint.""Shuntaaaaaaaal." A teenage girl ran up to the old man and hugged him, her eyes shone brightly as she increased her grip around the old saint."Ahh, careful Lela, I'm not as sturdy as I used to be."He chuckles as she lets go of the grip and they all made their way to a round table with seven chairs.A man dressed as a waiter came over from the bartender's bar and served them each a cup of tea and some biscuits.
In a hidden base just outside of Cronoa..."Those accursed relic users, Ace, Rhea... I will make them all pay for the humiliation I went through."He slammed his fist on a desk shattering it in the process."Commander, please calm down, if you leak your aura, the Region's sensory team might lock on to us."He took three deep breaths and walked towards the screen depicting surveillance video of their surroundings.He smirked as he noticed Rohan making his way into the Region."Guess the little traitor managed to survive. Doesn't matter anymore with what I have in store."His phoned beeped and he pulled it out of his pocket answering the call in the process.A faint muttering voice could be heard over the phone."Everything is ready for your arrival. You shall have what you are looking for and I shall become King."The base at that time was filled with the maniacal laughter of the former general."This boy right here, what's his name?"Ace and the crew have managed to pass all the diffi
"So, it's settled then?""We...apprehend...Stark...First...""Yeah, and ol' gutsy here is more than willin' to blow a hole in that bastard's lil' head."The Seven Saints were currently discussing their next course of action towards the war that's brewing.Just then, The Sniper Saint aimed and fired a shot at the entrance of the cafe, the bullet punctured through the closed door.He then rushes outside to find no one there, but just before he could turn back, he noticed blood splattered on the ground.A smile crosses his face as he made his way back into the cafe."I never miss."Unbeknownst to all of them, in an alleyway just a few blocks away from the cafe, the injured figure was holding his left arm and applying pressure."Heh, that was close."He pulled out a handkerchief and shoved it into his mouth.Bracing himself, he closed his eyes and dug his hand deep into the open wound. Groaning in pain, he managed to pull out the bullet then followed up to cover the wound up with the hand
Inside the throne room of the Capital of Cronoa, Rohan had just arrived and was in the presence of the King and the Generals."Roro, we've got your transmission." Gantala was the first to speak."If your bastard of a brother truly is a traitor then why didn't you bring him back here?"Axel questioned the loyalty of Rohan towards the Region rather than that of his brother, it was understandable too."You only listen to your brother, why should we trust the words of someone like you? If anything, we should lock you up for conspiring against the nation.""On our way here, I was ambushed by his followers and left for dead." He said the last part in a harsher tone as he clenched his fists."Rada Khan is dangerous my liege, knowing my brother, he will have plans to attack the Capital any moment now, we must rally the troops.""Hah!" The king struck his beard as he stood up. "One man and an army of what, a few dozens against my nation?" He spread his arms apart as the soldiers inside the thr
"Finally home..."Rohan walked into a beautiful only for him to be sent crashing down by the force of three children tackling him."Big bro Rahan!""You're back you're back you're back!""We missed you!""Tell us some stories of your adventures."This was the orphanage that Rohan and Rada Khan grew up in as kids alongside Rhea and the Enders clan.They could hear the chuckles of Rohan which seemingly turned into laughter as they got up and allowed him to sit down.Rohan is someone who rarely smiles let alone laugh.But he always finds himself feeling carefree and joyful whenever he's around the little kids.He hugged them all tightly and made their way to the playground.As he watches how some of the kids were playing and running around under the crescent moon, he smiled. A smile devoid of pain, a smile that showcased the love he has for all the children of the orphanage."I'm back, everyone." He doesn't smile much, but the smile on his face right now was pure and blissful in every wa
"Lady Serena!"Conroy couldn't believe what he's just heard. The woman whom he's sworn to serve, the woman that saved him from a life of treachery was slaughtered.At first, he wanted to deny the revelation made by the guards and rush over to Regrah this instant.But seeing the dead bodies of Cain, Vidal and Ruth helped him come to terms with reality.He plops to the ground and slams his hands hard on the floor."She's gone, she's really gone... Rada Khan has won..."He continuously slams his hands and tears gushed down from his eyes, his hands bruised and bloodied but all he could really think about was Serena...Regrah District, twelve years ago...The beautiful and wealthy city filled with life and joy was once a disheveled and eerie place for criminals of different types and was then deemed a lawless land.The luster of the full moon shone upon a large man riding a carriage filled with children.These children came from a different land with similar conditions to this one and were
The radiant moon shines through the lawless town of Regrah as the wealthy and nobles have gathered together to welcome their new District Commander.They hoped that with the arrival of this person, the town will be saved.It was the size of a city, but due to the subtraction of the lawless areas within the district, the size of the residential area of the fewer population that were law-abiding and wealthy was that of a town.It was not until five years after the current situation that the town steadily grew to the size of a full city or district.The carriage carrying the District commander stopped at the city square, where the banquet is being held.One of the knights that accompanied the carriage opened the door for the new District commander.The people cheered until a woman got out of the carriage."Huh?""A girl? Is this some kind of joke?"The once joyful cheers of the citizens were replaced with tantrums and bickering upon the arrival of a girl not more than sixteen years of ag
Vorus held the body of his fallen subordinates as the memories of their time together flashed through his aching heart.Eight years ago... the trio were merely kids of servants that served at the commander's castle.They were the only children in the castle as they were allowed to live there with their parents due to a rule that permits the maids and servants of the castle to live within the servant section with their families for as long as they work there.The district commander then was a ruthless and wicked tyrant who bullies the servants and everyone else in the district. He collected taxes even though all district commanders receive a hefty grant from the king every month.One day..."Who dares steal from Fuu the great!?"The castle was caught in an uproar as someone had stolen a ring under the possession of the commander.He ordered for all the servants to be brought to him."One of you peasants has taken something valuable from me. I'm sure the rest of you are all innocent so
