"Umm...Do you know us?" Maya asked curiously.
"My father had only one good friend amongst all the friends that he had when he was a hunter for a certain someone. When he had a disease, that friend didn't leave him, he always came to visit to check up on my dad, even when all the others left him —heck even my mum left him— until recently, he stopped coming to visit." Shian sighed. "That friend, his name was Ryan Blackwill."The old man wasn't looking too good, it seemed like what Shian said had shaken him for some reason."My son!!, Ryan Blackwill is my son." The old man said. Considering the way he said it, something seemed to have happened."What happened to him?""Ryan died a few weeks ago." Maya sighed and replied gloomily. "He was assassinated.""I'm...so sorry about that" Shian said."Anyways, you might want to head back to earth..." Maya spoke but was cut off by Shian who was already standing up from the bed."Yeah, I really want to go back, like, right now. This planet has given me a traumatizing shit show and I do NOT!! want to ever come back here AGAIN!!" Shian's outburst made Maya flinch and snapped Grandpa Enzo out of his dazed state."Okay. By the way, there was a recent attack from the Cythrauls, they decided to call off their peace treaty, so the five pillars and the government sent out an order, that everyone above the age of eighteen must attend the academy. As to why, it's simply because we, the human race, are short on man power.Shian stood up and flexed his muscles."How long have I been passed out" Shian asked."Just a few hours" Grandpa Enzo replied. He had recovered from the shock of hearing about his son and was acting like his normal self again."Shall we." The old man gestured towards the door."After you." Shian replied. "Also, thank you very much for taking care of me.""Anytime."Maya rolled her eyes and shouted at them. "Just get going already."__________They both scuttled out of the room and walked towards the exit. Shian gaped at the number of people in the building, he was still passed out when Grandpa Enzo brought him in so he didn't know that there were alot of people in the base. He really was unlucky to spawn in an unexplored area of this red leveled beast realm.As Shian watched them all work, he noticed that they all had an insignia of a mountains summit and a black sun —rising or setting depending on how one saw it— on the left side of their chest. He assumed that it was the logo of their family. The Blackwill family."This place is our base on this planet. When a portal opens up, our family sends a troupe to explore it to gain more fighting experience and more beast crystals." Enzo explained."But aren't the portals, government properties." Shian questioned."We have an agreement with the government, so we can enter almost any portal we want anytime we want" Enzo answered."Your family must be really influencial then. Apart from knowing your son, how come I've never heard about your family, at least I will have heard your name somewhere." Shian said with a hint of curiosity."You are from the outskirts right?" Enzo turned to him."Yeah, how did you know that?" Shian was surprised."Only someone from the outskirts will ask that kind of question. That makes me wonder how my son came to know your father, did they know each other before your father had a disease? Because if that's what happened, I will understand why he knows someone like your father""I think so, I was really young then so I'm not sure if they knew each other or not before we moved to the outskirts." Shian said. He was really missing his father, a feeling of longing filled his heart and he smiled bitterly and clenched his fist. He needed to get stronger because he didn't know what might happen next, maybe someone stronger than him will suddenly kill him because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.Grandpa Enzo didn't miss the part where Shian clenched his fists, he knew speaking about his father had shaken him. He knew what it felt like to loose a loved one, he faced the same predicament recently."If you ever need anything, just tell me and I will see what I can do. Okay?" Enzo said with a type of fatherly love that moved Shain. Shian nodded in affirmation, on his face he had a neutral look, but deep down inside him he was happy, happy that someone was willing to stand up for him.They walked towards the exit then made a right turn and headed down the hallway, they entered a room and before them stood a blue colored portal brimming with energy.Shian was happy, he was finally going to head back to earth and enter the academy to awaken his powers. The thought of it got him agitated and unknowingly he began to walk towards the portal. Grandpa Enzo smiled and activated the portal. Shian walked through it and Grandpa Enzo followed.Shian came through the portal first and Grandpa Enzo followed immediately after. Shian swayed lightly before stabilizing himself."What was that?" Shian said as he shook his head lightly to clear it."When someone or something moves through space at a fast pace, the person or thing will be distorted, leading to person feeling disarrayed and the thing misshaped. This machine that traps the portal reduces that effect greatly, but those who are still weak will feel the effect, albeit, only a little. People of my caliber don't feel the effect anymore." Grandpa Enzo explained."But why didn't I feel it the first time?" Shian replied."I am not sure, but I think when a person feels a strong emotion like anger, happiness, sadness or fear, they tend to not feel the effect of moving through the portal.""That makes sense because I was really scared when I was roughly shoved through the portal to this planet." Shian said."So you didn't come here intentionally?" Grandpa Enzo asked with surprise."Of course I didn't, which basic tier hunter in their right mind will come to a realm they know they can get killed by the sneeze of a random high tier beasts. Like seriously, I was almost killed by a dead Legendary tier beast. IT WAS DEAD!!!""Of course I knew, just wanted to confirm." Grandpa Enzo said while scratching the back of his head. Of course Shian knew that he was lying but just ignored it."Let me give you a tour of my mansion then" Grandpa Enzo spoke.Grandpa Enzo led the way out of the room, but before they left, Shian took a good look at the room, it was wide with white walls on each side and nothing in it except the portal in which they came through. "Why did we come through this portal, I thought we were supposed to come out through a portal in a military base?" Shian asked."The portal we used to head to that beast planet belongs to the military, but the one we just used to come back here is connected to this one we just came through." Grandpa Enzo explained while pointing to the red shimmering portal behind them. "So if you want to go back to the beast planet, you have to use the portal that belongs to the government, right?" Shian asked. "Hmm...not really. You see..." Grandpa Enzo was about to say something but changed his mind. "Nevermind, you're correct."They left the room and he led Shian down the long corridor, the walls where bare with nothing except the windows.'I thought they were rich, aren't rich families suppos
Shian and the blind boy in the conical hat fell on their butts with a thud, the sound waves from the shout was that powerful. Luckily their ear drums didn't burst.Grandpa Enzo could be seen standing in front of the open double doors, he walked down the stairs and stood between Shian and the blind boy."Why where the two of you fighting?!!" Grandpa Enzo said with a vein bulging at the side of his head at the lack of a reply from any of them, he was getting really angry that they where just staring at seemingly nothing in particular without even making an attempt to answer him. This was the first time Shian saw this part of Grandpa Enzo, he always appeared to be a gentle old man, but when he snapped, all the image of a gentle man was replaced with the aura of a predator ready to pounce on its prey, Shian was terrified to the point where he answered automatically without thinking of what he was about to say."I don't know." Shian said.This reply seemed to only make Grandpa Enzo more an
Ryan almost vomited blood from the amount of anger he was feeling at that moment. Grandpa Enzo laughed loudly from the side, to him the two youths where putting up quite a show and he was enjoying every bit of it. He had noticed their hostility towards each other before they entered the dining hall but just ignored it.Ryan without warning lunged at Shian and kicked him in his chest, flinging him out of his seat and scattering all the food on the table. Grandpa Enzo barely had enough time to react and all he could do was hold Ryan's leg before he could deal another kick to the already down Shian.Everything happened within a split second.Shian slid back for some meters before finally coming to a stop. He clutched his chest with his face down, he breathed in and out heavily.As he received the kick from Ryan, a memory surfaced in his mind. He remembered something his father told him before he died, his father told him how he ran to Eric Solar for help when he was kidnapped, but was pu
Shian walked down the stage and stood still waiting for Grandpa Enzo.Grandpa Enzo picked up the unconscious body of Ryan and left the room, Shian followed closely behind.They made their way down the long hallway filled with several doors leading to different rooms, Grandpa Enzo entered a room and placed Ryan on a bed, he tapped his wrist where there was a black watch and spoke some words.Some minutes later, Shian heard a noise that sounded like a drill at work, he turned to look in the direction he heard the sound and was surprised when a gust of wind hit him, almost throwing him back. "A speed ability." Shian muttered to himself.He followed the direction of the wind and saw a young man and woman in the room, they both had blue clothing that had the Blackwill's crest on the left side of their chest, the man was carrying the lady in his arms, he carefully placed her down and the lady got to work, she went over to Ryan and knelt down by his side, she stretched her hands over him and
It was a bright and sunny day, and Shian was feeling energetic, he jumped out of bed and cleaned himself up, he put on some clothes and tied his hair back, some weren't long enough to reach the head band and dropped down the sides of his face. He looked at himself in the mirror for a long time and smiled, his glittering sapphire blue eyes, his smooth skin and his tall muscular frame and long white hair made him handsome, he wore a blue shirt and a black pair of trousers, everything coupled together, he looked like an award winning model."Damn I'm handsome." He said out loud."You wish." A reply came from his side.Ryan was standing by the door, he had been watching Shian gawking at himself for a while and only spoke when Shian commented on his handsomeness."WHAT THE!!!, You're supposed to knock before entering, what if I was...""Dude, I can't see, remember?" Ryan cut Shian short."I know that, but still, have some manners." Shian said with a dignified expression on his face.Ryan la
The large and massive gate stood before them in all it's full glory.Shian and Ryan gawked at it speechless, the large circle gate was one of the highest thing they had ever seen in their entire lives."So much energy." Ryan mumbled.Shian who was a lover of weapons, studied the intricate design of each weapon. 'The seven weapons represented the seven sins. A sword, a spear, a...'"I wonder what will happen if that thing falls."Shian's thoughts were interrupted by Grandpa Enzo's words.A vein was seen popping up on Shian's head as his eyes twitched. 'Bastard!! What do you think will happen if that hulking behemoth falls, it'll cause a large earthquake and the earth will probably shift from its orbit. I just wonder how you think sometimes YOU ANNOYING OLD MAN!!!.' Shian cursed in his mind but didn't dare say his thoughts out loud for fear of what Grandpa Enzo might do to him. Shian calmed himself down and jumped down the vehicle, Ryan followed suit and the trio began to walk to the g
'Did...did they just kill two students!!?' Shian was beyond shocked. 'What kind of test is this where they just go killing students like they're slaughter pigs!!?'"I.. i.. i want to go....home." A girl's voice was heard.Sweat was rolling down the students faces, every bit of courage they had summoned to walk to the platform ahead of them was crushed brutally as they watched two students being killed right before their eyes, not even their remains was left. A loud booming voice was heard once again."No one is allowed to leave until the test is over, if no one moves, he or she will be tortured before being brutally killed."Immediately after those word were said, the student who wished to go home fainted on the spot, while another female student peed her pants."We need to start moving!!." Shian immediately said to Ryan and reached out to pull his hands."Relax dude." Ryan started and earned a frown from shian. Ryan immediately pulled him closer and whispered some words into his ears
In a large hall, filled with students desperately dodging several golden balls of energy being shot at them at high speed and a mob of angry parents questioning and cursing the higher ups overseeing the test, there where five people in a dark secluded room, discussing a serious matter. The Five Pillars of Earth which included, Reiss Solar, Natasha Emprie, Cyndy Glace, Nicholas Viper and Lucy Emona were chatting about the performance of the students in the hall when Lucy —the head of the Emona Family— said something that shocked them.According to what they understood about the Emona family, they awakened abilities related to transforming into beasts, and when a person awakens the ability, depending on the strength of the beast type, they will know how fast they can improve their skills and evolve to the next stage.Just like beasts, they evolved, in that case, the stage of the beast determined how strong they where and seeing that Lucy had evolved to the Lord tier, they were surprised
