After Nicolas' parents were involved in a fatal accident that claimed both their lives, He was given to live with his uncle and aunt, his only relatives in the world. They took care of him like he was their own and they allowed him do whatever he wanted."You're like our our son now. We will love you just like your parents" Nicolas' aunt said."Don't ever feel like you're alone," His uncle placed a caring hand on his shoulder."We're here for you."Although Nicolas was happy, he couldn't help but feel like he was to blame for his parent's accident. He felt like if he was strong enough, if he was a hero, he would have been able to protect them.His life went downhill as soon as he lost the sense of obligation and responsibility. He went on to make friends with the wrong crowd, going to parties, drinking and doing drugs.He got his first girlfriend when he turned eighteen. He felt like he was on top of the world whenever he looked at her smiling face. He barely thought of his dead parents anymore.He regarded their memory with disdain. His new family were supportive of him and they always gave him the care and love he needed instead of only forcing him to follow rules he didn't want to obey.Nicolas went on living his life as he pleased. His girlfriend encouraged him to do heroin among other harmful drugs and he did them because he was finally getting the love he had longed for from someone who seemed to understand his desires.After dating his girlfriend for several years, Nicolas discovered she had gotten pregnant for her ex boyfriend. She tried to deny it and he believed her because he was blindly in love. He went on to spend money he didn't have just to make sure his girlfriend was comfortable.He even stole from his uncle to be able to provide for his girlfriend. He doesn't countless amount of his time and money to cater for his girlfriend's needs.During one of his cleaning days in his girlfriend's apartment, he discovered a pregnancy test which showed he wasn't the father of his girlfriend's child. His anger rose higher than the normal amount as seen in an average human."What is this!?" Nicolas confronted her, continuously showing her the rumpled piece of evidence he had found buried under her bed."I don't have anything to say to you" She said then walked away but he held her back with his strong hand."Don't you dare walk away from me" Nicolas looked at his girlfriend with bloodshot eyes.She kept her eyes on him, startled he would behave in such a way. Suddenly, she let out a long laugh. "What do you expect from me? You're nothing. You don't even have a life" She spat at him then released herself from his grip.Nicolas tried to control the surge of painful emotions moving through him but it was too much. A single tear dropped from his eyes and he quickly brushed it off with the back of his hand."How could you do this to me?" Nicolas asked, his voice shaking as he spoke. "I thought you loved me.""I don't. I did at one point, but it died out when I found out you a loser with nothing to offer. If I stay with you, I know how horrible my life will be" Nicolas' girlfriend took the pregnancy test from him."I didn't deserve this. I was going to build a life with you" He said, his bitterness evident in his voice."I won't build a life with you even if you begged. You think you're a hero, you're nothing but an insignificant character in your own story" His girlfriend said."Stop saying those words" Nicolas said.He attempted to get closer to his girlfriend but she pushed him away."Congratulations on snooping through my stuff. If you want to leave, you're free to. I told my Ex about the pregnancy and he wants me back" She said.Nicolas couldn't believe his ears. He opened his mouth to offer any form today of argument, but his words got stuck in his throat. More tears almost fell from his eyes but he shook them off, then stormed out of the house.Depression took over Nicolas and he secluded himself to the outside world. He laid in his room covered with a blanket while playing one of his favourite video game; WAR ON THE DEMON LORD SORCERER.He took drugs, mostly heroin, to make his depression stop but it didn't work and he continued fighting the battle to regain himself.He kept on using those drugs until he became extremely addicted to them. He spent thousands of dollars just catering for his addiction until he completely used up all of his college fund.During one of Nicholas's experimentation with the usual dosage of heroin he normally took, he went on to increase the amount because he felt it might help ease the depression he constantly felt.He ended up collapsing on the ground while walking in the streets. He was immediately rushed to the emergency room.As he was being carried on the stretcher into the emergency office, he kept his eyes on the blinking lights while listening to words of nurses along with his uncle and aunt urging him to fight for his life.Tears slowly left his eyes as he considered how much of a loser his life had turned out to be. He hated himself for not doing enough and letting his life pass by without being able make an impact.Regret took over and he could feel his life slowly draining away. He wished he could get a second chance to rewrite everything.He closed his eyes, letting his pain and regret drown him, then let out his final breath.

The Path Of Shadows
Nicholas stood frozen, every muscle tense, as the figure slowly approached him. The jungle’s oppressive silence seemed to amplify the sound of the stranger’s footsteps, each one deliberate, almost too measured. Nicholas had never seen anyone like this before, and the man’s glowing eyes made his skin crawl. Despite the man’s frail appearance, there was something unsettling in the way he moved, like he wasn’t fully human. "You seek power," the figure repeated, his voice a rasping whisper that seemed to slide through the thick air like smoke.Nicholas swallowed hard, trying to ignore the knot of fear twisting in his gut. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he replied, his voice rough from exhaustion. He stepped back, his hand instinctively reaching for the sharp stone he had used against the beast earlier.The figure chuckled, a sound that seemed far too deep for someone so gaunt. “Do not play games with me, boy. You wouldn’t have survived this long if you weren’t seeking somet

His body was screaming at him to stop, to rest, but there was no time for that. The beast would not give him a second chance.With a grunt, Nicholas gave the branch another violent shake. It splintered more, cracking like a whip in the still air of the jungle. Below, the beast growled, pacing in tight circles, as if anticipating his next move.

The Edge Of Survival
Nicholas blinked, rubbing his eyes, his vision swimming. When he looked again, nobody was there. No footprints, no signs of movement, only the quiet crackling of the fire remained.He staggered, disoriented. His heart was still pounding from the fight, his body bruised and aching, and now his mind was unraveling. Lou-ra’s comforting presence was gone, evaporating into the night like mist.He was alone. The jungle’s oppressive atmosphere closed in on him, the thick air suffocating as it pressed against his lungs. The dark canopy above loomed like a ceiling, shutting him off from the sky, from any sign of hope.Panic clawed at his chest. He fought to suppress it, but the loneliness gnawed at his mind, dragging him into despair.”I have to get up. I have to keep moving."But his body refused to cooperate.

The Battle Within
Nicholas's muscles tensed as his mind raced. His body screamed for him to retreat, to flee into the dense jungle, away from the impending confrontation. But something deep inside him resisted. Maybe it was pride, or perhaps the sliver of defiance that refused to bow to fear. Regardless, he knew there was no turning back. The man had laid down the challenge, and to back down now would mean surrendering his spirit entirely.The man continued to stare Nicholas down, a tower of strength and menace, his battle-scarred chest heaving with quiet confidence. He wasn't making idle threats; Nicholas knew that. This world didn't leave room for empty promises. Survival was earned through blood, sweat, and the unwavering will to stand when everything inside screamed to fall."I... I'm ready," Nicholas finally said, his voice barely above a whisper.The man’s lips curled into a feral grin, satisfied with the decision Nicholas had made, even if it was drenched in fear.

Language Of Warriors
Nicholas's heart pounded loudly against his ribs. The man's casual dismissal of his plea for an alternative sent a fresh wave of terror crashing over him. A primal urge to flee battled with the knowledge that escape was impossible. This wasn't a test of his fighting prowess; it was a potential death sentence. Nicholas was stuck between pleading for his life or just putting his hands up as a sign to show that he has surrendered. He knew that fighting with this man would mean his imminent death and she was not prepared to die especially when he had to return to Lou-ra."Sir, please," Nicholas pleaded, his voice cracking with a tremor he hated. "There has to be another way. Let me train with something, a log, a…" he cast his eyes around, desperately searching for anything that wouldn't fight back.

The Challenge
Nicholas stirred from a restless sleep, shivering beneath the thin blanket he had wrapped over himself the night before.The cave, once a temporary haven, had offered little protection against the bitter cold that had transformed the jungle into a frozen wasteland. His breath emerged in visible puffs, and he rubbed his arms continuously, trying to bring warmth into his limbs.As he emerged from the cave, blinking in the early morning light, Nicholas' eyes registered the significant change in his surroundings. The cold desolation of the previous night had given way once again to a lush, vibrant jungle. Birds chirped cheerfully, and the air was thick with the earthy scent of plans and trees. It always felt unreal how the jungle had reborn itself overnight, shaking off the icy grip that had held it captive. The beauty of it all marveled Nicolas each time he sees it.Standing at the edge of the clearing was the man who had taken Nicholas under his wing, training him for the Armageddon

Before it had time to fully attack Nicolas, it's found itself getting struck in the head in an instant.“Good!” the man shouted. “Keep moving, don’t let them overwhelm you!”Nicolas barely had time to register the man’s words before another beast was upon him.This one was larger, more aggressive. It swooped down with terrifying speed, its claws aiming for Nicolas’s face. He ducked at the last moment, feeling the rush of air as the creature’s talons whistled past his head. He swung his knife upward, catching the beast in its unprotected belly. It howled in pain, thrashing wildly before retreating.All around them, the battle raged. The man moved with a grace and precision that left Nicolas awestruck. His movements were a blur, his weapon flashing in the moonlight as he st

His stomach lurched, and he felt sick.This was it; he was about to die. The realization struck him with a cold finality, and every second felt like an eternity. Nicolas closed his eyes, bracing for the inevitable impact.Then, a sharp whistle cut through the chaos, and something massive and powerful surged beneath him. In an instant, strong talons wrapped around his torso, and the sensation of free fall ceased. His eyes flew open, and he gasped as he saw a bird, majestic and enormous, soaring upwards with him in its grasp. The bird’s feathers glimmered in the sunlight.Within moments, Nicolas found himself back in the sky, being lifted toward the man and the first bird. The change from impending death to sudden rescue left him breathless and shaking. As the bird finally leveled out beside the man, Nicolas clung to the feathers, his knuckles white.The m
