My head started to hurt again like it was splitting in half.
The scene felt like a dream, but I could see two figures, one holding me in her arms, and the other smiling at me. However, I couldn't see their faces.
I fell down the ground.
Everything was blurring.
All I could hear was the sound of thunder and rain.
A bright light surrounded me and when the light faded I was in the middle of the field in front of the academy.
The grass was wet, the smell of rain and grass permeated everywhere.
I looked up and saw a rainbow stretched across the sky.
"What happened to me?"
I couldn’t move my body and it was hurting like hell.
Slowly I am losing consciousness again.
I awoke after some time to see a familiar ceiling above my head.
“Are you up?”
I was hearing a familiar voice as I turned towards the source of the voice. She was the nurse who used to take care of me whenever I was hurt by other students.
“Sorry for the trouble Miss Ahn, I don’t know what happened to me this time and how I am here. Only thing I could remember is some people were kneeling in front of me before I lost my consciousness.”
When the number one and number two most beautiful girls in my school, along with the crown prince, bought me here I was quite surprised. There was nothing serious except you were unconscious for four hours.”
“Did they say what happened to me?”
“No they didn’t. They only told me that they found me in the academy field and brought I here.”
I took my leave from the infirmary and returned to my home.
I retreated to my room and locked myself inside.
I took out the two pendants and put them next to each other.
I was confused. “Who were the two people I saw in the dream? It feels like they are familiar to me, like they are someone closer to me than anyone but I can’t remember them.”
The only clue I could remember was the pendent they were wearing. The woman was wearing the white pendant and the man was wearing the black pendant.
The pendents were the same as the ones I had received, so I guessed they were my parents, but I wasn't sure.
My head was hurting again and I fell unconscious.
After some time, I could hear someone calling me “Regal, Regal”
I got up and now I am feeling better. I opened the door and my mother was standing in front of me “Come down for dinner, we are waiting for you.”
I am now in the kitchen with my father and mother. “I have something I need to tell you two. I think I have found clues regarding my real parents.”
“If you need assistance, we will assist you." Mother said
“The only clue is the pendant I have.” I said.
“And another clue is the name of someone known as the god of origin. I studied to find the whereabouts of the god of origin, Origen and there is a clue to Origen in Heaven."
"Tomorrow I will embark on an adventure to find out about Origen in heaven. Origen is the only one who knows something about my parents I think.”
“We hope you will find your parents. We wish you luck. Come back after you have found your real parents.” Father said.
“We will be waiting for your return.” Mother said.
“Yes I will. I will leave early in the morning. Thanks for everything till now.”
After dinner I am in my room preparing things needed for me on my adventure.
After packing things, I am now sleeping and waiting for the next day.
Early in the morning before my parents woke up I left my home.
I stopped by a store to buy a weapon for me. While looking for a weapon a sword thrown at the corner attracts me."I wonder how much it costs for the sword at the corner. The sword with a white hilt which is a bit rusty.""That's an old, rusty blade; you're not expecting to find any quality steel here. Besides, there is no way this sword could cut anything, let alone even scratch something like a monster!" exclaimed the shopkeeper as he turned away from his counter with disgust."Hold on now, young man! Don't throw that thing out! It could still be useful in some odd ways!"The man approaches me excitedly, holding a small book and pointing to it. He opens the cover and shows the pages inside. There are mostly sketches of strange creatures drawn by someone who has seen them firsthand. But one sketch catches my eye immediately. A monster with large claws and fangs. The picture was drawn hastily, but I can see that whoever drew this knew exactly what the creature looked like."This is a
I reach the edge of the city, eager to leave this cursed forest behind me. After a while of walking, I entered the Royal Capital, after a long fight I decide to stop somewhere for the night.I enter the inn. "Hello," says the innkeeper. "Can I help you?""Yes, please," I reply politely. "I'd like a room.""Certainly. Follow me."The innkeeper leads me to a small, windowless room at the back of the building. There are no windows, no doors, just a single bed and a small washstand."It's not much, but it should suffice," says the innkeeper."I'm sorry, sir," he apologizes. "But we have no other rooms available."You sigh heavily. "That's alright then," you say."Thank you," he replies.Due to the brawl with the bandits and the long journey I am feeling very much tired. Without questioning I went to sleep.I woke up early in the morning. After getting a bath, I got out of the inn and walked towards the library.On my way to the library I felt someone calling me “Regal”I looked left and s
I follow him into combat range where the two of us square off against each other.As soon as the first blows start flying, I realize that I have made a mistake: this knight is much better than any of the ones who are training here on the training ground.My sword clanks against his shield repeatedly, but the bigger man keeps swinging at me with increasing ferocity. After several more swings, I am forced to retreat back toward the camp.His next blow nearly hits me in the head and knocks me backwards. I stumble away from him and find myself falling down onto the grassy hillside. The wind is knocked out of me and I can feel blood pouring down my leg.I reach back to touch the wound and notice that the knight has finally stopped striking at me."Are you okay, boy?" he asks. "Didn't know if you could handle a real fight.""I think you are right," I say. "Now would you please let me go?"He laughed. "Oh no! Not until our match is over."I sit up and lean against the tree behind me. There's
As soon as the four heavenly angels entered the room they hugged me tightly. “You look just like your mother.” Says one of the heavenly Angels.“Yes, the magical power you contain is as strong as your mother.” Says another.“Where were you till now? Why didn’t you come before? Where is your mother?” says another one.“We are your mother’s elder brothers.” Says another one.I was confused by the sudden questioning of the heavenly angels. The Divine King was the eldest sibling.“He came after the long time because he didn’t know the identity of his real parents. Even when he was here just before he didn’t know his mother’s identity.”“He says that Diosa left him at the door of an old farmer couple. Since then her whereabouts are unknown. She left him with the pair of pendants we gave her.”The four heavenly angels were weeping as they hear what the Divine Kings said.After that we chatted for some time and the four heavenly angels left. The four heavenly kings were kind and told me eve
I thanked the doctor and left. I head back to the castle.I went to meet with the Divine King “I will stay in the castle for some time. Please, help me train the holy magic. I will leave for the Demon Realm after I am strong enough to defend myself.”“The heavenly angels will train you from tomorrow, go and rest for today.”The king assigned a maid to me and she showed me the way to my room. After entering my room I jumped on the bed and fell asleep instantly.At night the maid woke me up. “The king is ordering for your presence in the dining room.”I dressed up and went to the dining room. I chatted with the king and after dining I went to my room and fell asleep again.Early in the morning the maid woke me up for training.The heavenly kings were waiting for me in the training hall. The training started and I was in heaven for 2 years. After the long training my control over the holy magic was strong enough for me to defend myself.I went to meet with the king. “After training for t
A demonic beast attacks me from behind. I reacted quickly and summoned my sword.It has red eyes that glow in the dark and its body is covered with scales and fangs that can rip my flesh off in one bite.It has razor sharp tusks that can easily puncture skin, but it doesn't have the strength to kill an adult human being with them alone. Its teeth are strong enough to rip through thick metal armor and its claws are capable of piercing flesh.The blade of my sword slices into the demonic beast's flesh. I slash a second time. My sword cleaves deep into the demonic beast's chest.Blood spurts from the wound, splashing onto its body. The creature roars in pain but doesn't seem to notice that it is dying. It lashes out with one of its claws, tearing another huge chunk out of my leg. The pain sends a jolt through me and I stumble backwards. Its third claw now rakes against my back, cutting deeper into my flesh. I feel a terrible burning sensation as hot blood gushes down my leg.The beast
The statue begins to speak.“I am the King of this place. For what reason have you come here?”“Your highness I have come to ask permission for entering the library, for that your permission is needed.”“You can visit the library tomorrow, enjoy your day today.”“Thank you your highness”I turn around and leave the castle.A colosseum little far away piqued my interest.The Colosseum had a circular arena surrounded by tiers of seating for spectators. The center of the arena contained an open space where gladiators fought each other to the death. A large bronze statue stands in the middle of the arena, depicting the god Mars himself.To the north and south lie the entrance ways into the Colosseum proper, which leads to the north and south entrances. There are four doors leading out of the Colosseum; you can choose any one..A pair of hellhounds stand in combat with a muscular man wearing only a loincloth.

After the excitement dies down, the demon king approaches me. "Come along," he says. "It's time for the main event." The main concourse of the arena is a large open space surrounded by three rings. In the center ring, the demon king waits with his entourage for the arrival of the final contestant. On either side of the central ring are smaller rings, each containing five fighters. The ring on the left contains four humans (the contestants) and one giant man-eating monster who looks to be a mixture of human and ogre. The demon king points to the ring on the right. "Now we have a real challenge," he says. "Two vampires fighting a giant man-eating ogre. Will our champion win this time? Or will the monster feast upon the vampire's blood?" The ring on the right contains six vampires (participants) and one witch whose skin is green. As I watch, the contestants begin to circle each other, sizing each other up. He points to the ring on the left, and the contestants rush to it. They form a
The meeting ended and I talked with the ministers for sometime and walked out of the room.I met Kia outside the room."How did it turn out?" she asked me."Well, I found out that I was the son of the demon king.""Are you okay with that?" she asked.I nod my head and reply, "Yeah I don't care much about it anyway.""My mother was the angel king's sister. Both my parents are from two different realms.""How does it feel knowing that you are the child of a demon and an angel?" she asked."I don't know. It feels weird but it doesn't matter to me." I said."You still haven't told me about yourself. You only tell you are the priest in the temple of Origen and everything will be revealed over time. You are such a mystery.""The first time I met you you were running away from a wild beast alone without any guard."After arriving near the demon realm, a beast came rushing towards me. I slashed it and a girl came and thanked me. The girl was alone and trembling. And it was Kia. She asked me if
To my surprise he hugged me.I looked up and saw that he had tears in his eyes."I'm sorry, boy," said the demon king. "I never expected to see someone who I believed had died.""What are you talking about?" I asked. "Why are you crying?"The demon king released me and stepped back.He wiped away his tears and told me, "Come with me to the royal chamber.""Thank you," I said. "For everything."The demon king nods and leads me through the corridors. We finally arrive at the door leading to the royal chambers."What happened?" I asked.The demon king opens the door and allows me to enter.I walk inside, and I see that everyone is seated in a circle around the room.They all looked up at me when the demon king entered through the door behind us.Demon King said, "your friend is with us. You can meet her after we chat for a while."."It's been a long time since we've seen you," said one of them. "We thought you were dead.""Where is Kia?" I asked. "Is she alright?"The king points to the
Demon King throws a punch at me and misses.I roll with the punch and kick him in the groin.Demon King falls on the floor and stays there.The crowd burst into cheers as the Demon King laughed hysterically."Holy shit," said the Demon King.The ground breaks and I fall into a hole.The crowd erupts in cheers as I rise to my feet and look up at the demon king."What was that?" I asked. "I didn't feel anything.""Ha ha," laughed the demon king. "You can't hurt me!"I walk closer to him and grab hold of his legs, but he rolls out of the way and kicks me in the stomach.As I leap out of the hole, I force punch the demon king.Demon King punches me in the face and sends me flying backwards.I land hard on the ground and lose consciousness.The crowd erupts in cheers as the demon king stands over me."You're done, Dear Guest," said the demon king.'I can use magic,' I say. "Do you know how to cast spells?""Of course I do," said the demon king. "All I have to do is wave my hand and I can c
"Whoa!" exclaimed Grognard, staring up at the demon king's enormous mass. "Is he really that big?""Yes," replied the demon king, "he is.""I wonder if I can beat him?" ponders Grognard.The demon king laughed heartily. "No, you can't beat him. Not without magic, anyway."Grognard's mouth hangs agape in shock. "But... I thought you said he couldn't be defeated without magic.""That was a joke," explained the demon king. "I've never seen anything like him, either. This guy's huge!""Why did you decide to host a tournament in the first place?" wondered Grognard. "It sounds like a lot of work.""Oh, no," replied the demon king. "I enjoy tournaments immensely. It gives me a chance to test my strength against other powerful creatures from distant lands."The demon king points at Grognard. "For example, do you think you could defeat me?""Huh?" replied Grognard, surprised. "Um...""Don't worry," said the demon king. "I'm not intending to attack you. Just relax and have fun."The demon king t
