It all started 200 years ago. Back when the land of Ryzesia was a land of separate countries. Peace was upon them, but the shackles and ideas of different rulers had contaminated their hearts with greed. Soon aggressions began, and the rulers of the 11 lands fought with each other to be the sole ruler of the lands.Then he appeared, a man with a heavenly aura with a warm smile. As he descends from the sky during the Ishaqia War, the jingoes have ceased their fire and passion for war. The leaders reconciled with each other, finally acknowledging their differences and conflicting ideas about their vision for their own country. But, as things started to get better, things worsened again. As the cycle repeated itself, a full-scale war began to emerge. The man with a heavenly aura commanded the sea to drown regions of land, making it barren and becoming mere sand lands. He commanded the wind to create typhoons exterminating great structures made by the people of different lands. Forest fir
The strong always trample the weak.It was the fact that governs the natural law of the world.People may think you don’t have to be physically strong once you become smart.Which was a misconception... A false feeling of having power against enemies.Other times, people with physical strength and smartness also lack something… It was influence.These three factors are what strength really is.These factors are things that can make you be called ‘The strong.’That is what my father always told me since I was little. That is what I have continuously been educated on. That is what he always forced me to do, to act upon others.I had to be intelligent, powerful, and capable of influence.I never thought he was right.I never thought I needed to do all of those things until our family got betrayed by the Mylen family.But even through all that betrayal…I still…never truly believed I could trample on the weak.Instead, I will be their wildcard, the one who will help those who can’t defend
“Did you put her to sleep?” Xaviel asked as she sat beside Ria's body, lying on the ground with a peaceful sleeping face.“Yes. I did,” Hoff replied as he sat down beside Xaviel.“She looks so… peaceful..”“She does. It is all thanks to my wife’s ability, of course.”“Wait, your wife’s Forte can make someone fall asleep?”“It’s something like that. To be precise, she makes sleeping bubbles like this.” Hoff points into the air as a bubble begins forming and floats. “As I learned about the bubble’s properties, it seemed to give someone hit with it a good dream while improving their sleep.” Hoff continued on explaining the contents of Quilla’s power.“About that…”“What is it, Xaviel?”“Hoff… is Forte… our powers connected with our mentality? Our state of mind of some sort, I mean?”Hoff widened his eyes in shock at hearing Xaviel’s words. It was because he was the first to ever mention, let alone think deeper about, the meaning of getting a Forte.“You are brilliant, Xaviel.”“I uh.. th
“You are meant to be perfect, Hoff,” A bearded man spoke towards a young Hoff Praya Crestia as the man slammed a piece of paper onto his desk, clearly angry about something Hoff had done. “Father… I’ve tried my best this is the result of my training. It’s all that I can do!” SLAP! Hoff’s right cheek was red. Though the pain may be little on his face, his heart was shredded. “When will you stop that attitude? You were granted the ability to learn everything that you could see. Yet, you let yourself become lazy enough by not training your Forte properly? How have you become so arrogant?” Hoff didn’t respond to his father. His white hair blocked vision in his eyes. Hoff couldn’t find a single word enough to describe his feelings towards his father. Hoff knows that no matter how much he speaks from his heart, his father wouldn’t reciprocate his feelings. Therefore, it’s no use. “Yes. Father,” Those were the only words he could ever say. Those were the words that his father wanted.
-~“Mylen, This is Zedafaust. The target has been neutralized. Though things may seem peachy, a wild card has arrived at the table. Deploying Victor Magnifica will be useful.”Zed walks through the forest, remembering the message he sent to Victoria.KekekeheheGiggling, he combed his hair backwards, entering a secluded factory near the Mylen Manor.Inside, there is a shaped glass prison. Within it, two familiar faces are confined within the prison. A girl and her mother with green hair and eyes.Zed walked casually into the control panel located beside the box."Grr! It's you again! Evil man !" Mika shouted as she hit the glass confinement."Kekekehehe, do everything you can to destroy the glass, I beg of you," Zed said towards Mika. She relentlessly barraged against the glass prison. However, it proved to be to hard to penetrate."Your mother, how is she? How is Ms. Quilla?""Shut up!" To Zed's surprise, Mika suddenly burst angrily towards him. He is by no means offended. He didn't
Serena once again leaps and disappears midair. Meanwhile, Maru charges at Zedafaust, landing a hit on his face. His hands moved flawlessly left and right, landing blow after blow while Zedafaust seemingly just took the attack.BUK!Maru then launched an uppercut onto Zedafaust's Jaw, sending him into the air."KUOH!!" As Zedafaust was about to fly over, his hand was grabbed by Maru, who pulled him back, followed by a punch into the throat.(No human can withstand a punch to the throat, even if that human has a Forte)Still holding to Zedafaust's right hand using his left hand, Maru landed a blow on his gut using his right knee.(I'll kill him now!)Maru placed his hands on Zedafaust's head.(No… this is not right… what if I misunderstood again?).As Maru began to waver, someone spoke to him."Hey… Are you done?""!!!""If you're done, then it's my turn next," Zedafaust spoke, showing his gleeful smile.(This guy! He doesn't seem hurt!)Zedafaust puts his hands on Maru's arms as he sw
(The cycle of death and life is a rule imposed upon this world.) (As people die, another will be born.) (No matter how much they try, no one can escape the fate of death.) (It is an unchangeable rule.) (So, he made a deal with the devil.) (He made a deal so that he may never die.) (He committed blasphemy and was granted the ability to cheat death.) (He is the protagonist of this story.) (It is the story of a man who sold his soul in exchange for knowledge and power.) (A merciless principle corrupted by ambition.) (The unkillable forte wielder, Zedafaust.) “MOM, MIKA GET BACK!” Maru shouted as he activated again, which he had deactivated after getting onto the rooftop. BOOM! An explosion occurred on the rooftop of the factory. “Mika, hold on! Don’t let go!” Serena spoke as she was desperately holding onto a disfigured handrail while also holding onto Mika. She didn’t respond, as a drip of blood was visibly running from her head. The explosion had harmed
Serena smiled as she saw Zedafaust tumble onto the ground. “You think you are the only one with tricks? Don’t make me laugh.”Zedafaust tried to stand back up. It took a while, but he stood tall again in front of Serena.“Predator’s Aura… what a childish Forte. The longer I look at your overwhelming aura, the stronger the fear effect inflicted on me, regardless of whether or not I am stronger than you.”Serena’s eye twitched, and she let out a sigh.“No chance of hiding it, huh? I suppose you know that from Maru. Rather, I think it's from Maru’s memory…”Zedafaust let out a little giggle and said, “What makes you say that? I am dying to know.”“You really wanted me to explain? Why would I reveal my knowledge about your power anyway?”“Who knows? Maybe I’ll confirm if it’s true or not…”Silence occurred between them.“There is no way anyone could ever use someone else's forte. Not to mention perfectly recreating it. Forte is an innate technique that differs from person to person based
