2024-10-29 19:42:56After a few minutes of silence behind the wall, the boy started to come out. He ventured to approach the old man.
An uneasy feeling haunted him. If he doesn't apologize right away, then there's no reason for him to stay there.
The old man had a serious face with his hands behind his back.
“I-I'm sorry!” said slowly from the child with eyes that looked down regretfully.
“Huh… why are you peeking at my activities?” The old man who had looked quite good had now turned into a furious lion.
“Hmm…!” There was no response, the child was too afraid to answer. So far, he has only received insults and insults, every time he says high-pitched words that are unpleasant to hear, the child can only be silent. What's more, this matter was purely his fault. He accidentally saw the activities of someone who should not be known to him.
"Huh! In that case!" The old man felt that his words might have been too harsh on the child. He saw that the boy had absolutely no intention of going against his words. "Since you have seen my activities today, do you want to be my student?"
"Eh?" The boy raised his head, he glared in surprise after hearing those words.
"Yes! I will forgive you, but that will only happen if you are willing to become my disciple!”
The boy still looked confused. It was completely impossible for him to understand what was the reason the old man wanted to take himself as a disciple.
"Uh? Are you not interested?" Only silence was shown by the boy to the old man until the old man thought that the offer he said was not of interest to the child.
"No!" The boy answered with his face down again. “Can you tell me, what makes you want to make someone like me a disciple?” All this time there was only misfortune that was always beside him making him unable to accept the kindness of the old man in front of him.
"I see!" The old man saw the flames of enormous sorrow. His tone of voice, gaze, and body gestures were very clearly visible to his eyes. “No special reason, but I just want to teach you a lesson! Let me ask you something, do you like magic?”
"Magic?" The boy raised his head. "Yes! I love magic!” answered firmly from the child. His eyes narrowed as he said those words.
"Then what made you like magic?"
“I often read books that talk about magic. From several stories I read there was a great hermit who could use extraordinary magic. He was against the wisdom of the gods and also disliked the greed of the demons. With the power at his disposal, he wants to create a world without war and misery.”
“Uh…!” The old man became silent, he did not expect that the child knew of a history that was hundreds of years old even people only thought of the story as just a rumor that did not need to be believed. However, the boy's eyes conveyed such a strong conviction that it deserved to be compared to a hard diamond.
“If I'm honest, I live without anything, even though before this I was born to both complete parents, but because of this hand they hate me. The people in my village don't like me. Therefore, when you want to take me as a disciple, I think it's a prank you want to do!”
"I understand! Now where are your parents?” The old man didn't want to think that the child he saw was running away due to the pressures of life.
"They're all dead!"
"Dead? What happened?"
“A few days ago a great disaster flattened the entire village. There's no survivors except me!”When talking about this the child wanted to cry, but his eyes seemed to prevent him from doing so. Maybe the pain that he always received so that his eyes did not deserve to be saddened by the fate that came.
“Huh… so you are the one who survived the disaster!” The old man was shocked when he know that the child in front of him was a victim of the ferocity of the inhabitants of this world.
The boy nodded, then he saw the old man's eyes became so shocked. A few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"OK! Now you decide, do you want to be my disciple and learn the magic that exists or do you leave this house immediately?” The old man's attitude became very firm, he wanted to see the determination and intention of the child.
“I have already decided, I will become your disciple and then learn the best magic in this world!” The boy was very excited to reveal his heart to the old man.
"Good! Tomorrow you should be ready, because the lesson you are going to take is quite complicated and difficult. There is no time for yourself to relax or complain. If you can't afford it, you better back off!"
"Okay! I've come this far, there's no way I can back off! If my entire body were to be destroyed by training, then it would be better than giving up!”The old man smiled faintly, the youthful vigor he saw in the boy reminded him of the past, where he always wanted to be the best magician.
“Before that, I want to ask first! What's your name?"
“My name is Arslan Gladio!”
“Okay Arslan Gladio, now you are officially my apprentice today! Introduce my name is Gamma Artosius.”Gladio's pupils widened, as a strange aura suddenly appeared after Artosius revealed his name.
***
On the other side, the figure who had given the order to destroy Gladio village was still feeling restless.
“Your Majesty, can you tell me why you look so agitated?” One of the pillars he had became curious. What was the reason for the person who he had always believed to be the strongest being in this world to be so restless like that.
“I am restless that the catastrophic fire has escaped!”
"Uh? Didn't Helios destroy the village from the fire seed?"
“Indeed, but there were no deaths from the fire at all. I think he's still alive!”
"I think you're overthinking it!" An arrogant man came into the throne room. He is Helios, one of the pillars who has extraordinary intelligence and cunning."What do you mean Helios?"
“Your Majesty, I have confirmed that no one will be able to escape the Ultimate Gamma Energy I released! If there is, maybe just only a 00.01% chance of getting through.”
“Helios is right! Your Majesty, maybe you're just worried because the truth of the fire corpse hasn't been found yet, what if the fire is gone!”Hearing his two confidants speak, Zeradas became indecisive. He couldn't decide whether what Helios said was true or the opinion in his mind was more correct.

The next day the weather looked better. After heavy rains flushed the entire land, now the sun's rays returned to provide warmth for all living things. Gladio smiled to himself when he saw the sunlight that had just risen. His body felt comfortable when the light touched his skin gently. "I don't know how long I haven't felt all this!" Gladio remembered that he often waited for sunlight when he was in the basement, the small gap that always gave off the warm light of the sun became a sweet memory in his brain. Not long after, footsteps were heard from behind. Gladio turned around slowly, the figure of a bearded man was staring at him while his feet were still walking. “Gladio, like I said yesterday, today we will be doing magic training!” Artorius looked at the sunlight. “Lucky today the weather looks really good!” "Uh?"When Artorius said that his eyes looked deep and serious as if he was looking at the enemy he was about to fight. After that little conversation, they immediatel

After realizing that the potential in Gladio's body was more terrifying than he thought. Artorius decides to take Gladio somewhere. The journey takes about 5 to 7 days. Along the way, Gladio looked down with withered eyes. The boy couldn't understand at all what had happened to him. His right hand was still throbbing, but it had calmed down much more than before. "Krik! Krik! Krik!”The sound of crickets singing was like the sound of a night goddess singing. Gladio didn't say anything at all even on a quiet night, on the fifth day they walked there wasn't the slightest look of joy or excitement in his eyes. Artorius also feels guilty for forcing Gladio to become his disciple. If Artorius hadn't taught him magic, maybe Gladio wouldn't have felt the pain in his hand. “Huh…!” Artorius sighed and looked up at the moon that lit them up. “What a beautiful weather!” He tried to open the topic of conversation, but Gladio just looked down and stared at the small bonfire that kept on swayin
Soul Eater That Ability Used To Kill or Vice Versa
What is justice, what is truth, and why is this world full of suffering. Those were all things that was on Gladio's mind, he really felt the emotions exploding in his heart. His body seemed to fall from a height of thousands of meters, there was absolutely no sense of tension or fear. The end of the waterfall can't be seen, it's all white, which Gladio continues to pass."Why was I born in this world?" The memories of everything in his head began to string into a sad storyline. Gladio feels sad to see his parents have to suffer. "If only I wasn't born into this world, surely they would be happy!" He didn't understand what made fate so cruel to him. Gladio's eyes were closed, a single tear dripped from the membrane of his eye. "It's enough! I don't want to see everything!” "Get up!"A soft voice started calling out Gladio's name. "Uh!" He spontaneously opened his eyes. A beautiful-looking woman was already staring at him, a sweet smile etched clearly on her face. Gladio got up and g
Soul Eater The Unexpected Encounter
Gladio and Irish stared at each other, the man had a more serious gaze than before. "Enough! Now you tell me, why and how come I am in this world?” Now that Gladio's attitude is more mature, his tone is much heavier and sounds like a grown man. Irish got goosebumps when her saw Gladio. "OK!" She took a deep breath, the worst would happen if her was rash in answering that man's words. “Long time ago, in this world there was a battle involving multiple beings. Every creature has the same goal which is to become the strongest, of the many creatures there are several that have been recognized. They get great titles in this world, some become Demon Lords or Heroes. Two elements that still exist today! Simply you are proof of destiny spoken by someone in the era 500 years ago, he cast a curse on someone. That person is still alive today, and he is being very anxious about your appearance!”“Humph….” In general, Gladio has understood what Irish said. “I wanted to ask, are you sure that I am
Soul Eater Suddenly He Appeared
Quite a confusing opening. “So everything was planned by Artorius from the start?” Gladio became curious as to what kind of message was left for him. Slask! One page later Gladio opened. His eyes instantly bulged, in the message there was some information about the right hand that had been the location of his suffering.“Gladio, I've been trying to find out what happened to that right hand of yours! From several books and information from several people, I got something. Your right hand is a sign of a new path. That path will open a new era, destiny has given you a responsibility to change this world!” Gladio could sense Artorius' feelings, every sentence gave Gladio an idea of how serious the man was taking notes on the book. He began to turn to the next page of the book.It looks like a different page has been seen, there are several symbols and explanations listed. “Alright, this time I'll tell you everything I already know! The power that is in your right hand has extraordinary

A hint of fear in Gladio's heart arose, the huge clumps of clouds were scary enough to be looked at continuously. "What is he going to do with that black cloud?" Kakuero gave a smile and a smirking look, all of these were signs of impending evil. Gladio could only silently watch this, the man's bad intentions were clearly felt by him. “Fulgur! Perde Omnia!” In high speed a flash of light approached Gladio. Kaboom!!! Exploding lightning struck Gladio, a huge wave appeared as a result of the explosion. The strong wind that came was the embodiment of the skill's power.“Hehehe… is he dead or not?” Kakuero smirked, he really wanted to see Gladio's body that had been charred or turned to ashes from his attack. "What?!" Surprisingly, right in front of Kakuero's eyes, the man was still standing straight while giving him a sharp glare."Arrgh!" Gladio stared at his right hand, it was throbbing painfully. He groaned very loudly, the sound coming out like a dragon roaring. "Uh..." Kakuero

Helios felt that this was indeed not an easy matter, but facing the anger of Zeradas was not something that could be considered something that he could also overcome."Now I want you to explain to me, did you really kill my angel of death?""That's right, I was certain that man was dead, but right now I don't know how he came back!""You're just making excuses! Look, if you really can't deal with him, then I'll make you regret it, now I don't want you to come to me before you completely defeat that creature!""Well!" Actually Helios could pouched Zeradas in the face, but he understood this was indeed his fault. Respecting a leader is also his duty.Leaving that room, Helios wearing high anger on his face, he couldn't understand why this had to happen."Damn, I have to find this creature as soon as possible!"***Now that Gladio has traveled south, here he is trying to blend in like a normal human being.However, he still felt the hand he was carrying would be a disaster.

Soul Eater Undertaking the first quest
The card started to give a unique reaction, a red light flashed out.“Master, your card is ready!”Gladio took the card, it contained all the data about himself. "Thank you!""Well! Then you need to go to the board over there to find a quest that might be able to be carried out!”Gladio turned in the direction that woman was pointing, there was a large board plastered with paper. Gladio started walking and checked the contents of those papers.The contents of the paper contained information on quests, recruiting adventurers, and fugitives. Each quest is distinguished from the mark on the paper, for the low quest will be marked with a D, while for the highest is an S."Hmm... now what quest should I do?" Gladio was confused, he actually wanted to take on a higher and more dangerous quest, but he understood this would not be possible.His condition, which is only Bronze rank, is certainly not allowed to participate. Gladio took a random quest that had the symbol D.Then he gave that que

“Tch… this is becoming a pain! I have to cause all the creatures that have caused this to die…” Gladio mustered up enough energy to turn many monsters to ashes, it was a pity that monsters were just starting to appear right now.People experience a panic.The three high-ranking officials were very surprised by what happened, through the vision glass they saw it."That's bad, it's already started the invasion of the Demon God, he mobilized many monsters to do this heinous thing!""What about Shirona? Has she done her job?”“Of course, she is currently with Joven to make a move! They will definitely put in their best efforts!”"I hope so..."Those who were exposed to the crystal radiation became less strong, they became lethargic and preferred not to move.Alicia tried to keep herself focused. “I mustn't trouble Master Gladio...” She took an energy-boosting pill that was able to make the sluggish feeling go away.

Joven said.“Yeah...” Shirona then rushed towards that pillar, but she was intercepted by monsters that appeared in large numbers.“No way, how could these monsters just appear? Was this the doing of the Demon God?”“Sure, let's destroy all these monsters...”Every light that is above the pillars are interconnected, then provide high radiation.“It's the same as those crystals, the power of the pillars makes people weak!” said Alicia who was a little dizzy.

How To Stop This
"How are conditions now?" asked the Guild Master."Right now the conditions are in a bad state, even we have tried to stop the disaster that is happening, this all seems to keep happening!" replied the head of information. “Each region has been notifying that there is a similar disaster happening there, the attacks of monsters are steadily increasing!”Everyone became tense, they had just experienced this kind of phenomenon, and had never experienced anything like this before, and it felt very strange that this had to happen."Hmm... if something like this must be a very bad thing!" said the troop chief who used to give orders to maintain security. “Guild Master, do we need troops to do this?”"For now we have to know where the protected ones are, didn't I also tell you beforehand to do various things for the sake of a precaution?""That's right, it's been done!" said the chief observer.

If This What Happen
“Yeah, what you said is true! It's funny that in this world everyone is strong, what happens if everyone has high combat skills?”“Many people would not be self-conscious in their actions, those with high destructive power would definitely do heinous things by killing or torturing them, and since their opponent was also strong would definitely create a war on a monstrous scale! In this world you also see that many people are weak, but capable of producing many great wars! They not only use strength, but also rely on their minds to be able to do all of this…”“Why do people take so much pleasure in terrible wars? Is it in this kind of life that there is only war that they want?”“You and I are just ordinary people, everyone also has their own will, to think of how to act clearly is a hard thing to do, and in every action it's definitely not easy to do! If indeed we have to make efforts very seriously then it must be done! If we are not able to do that, it will definitely be very diffic

Bad In Act
Gladio and Alicia have just visited a village, and are shown that the village is in a very bad state.The people inside looked pathetically dead."It's really that in strength that is too high becomes a dangerous thing, I didn't expect that great power always brings suffering..."“It's actually people who have to do those things with the abilities they have! Not everyone who has great power will do this, but you should know that the suffering of people who have great power always fights in their desires that eventually become mind control...”“Hmm… yeah, I don't know what exactly happened, but I wonder, if you who possess this kind of overwhelming power were to take action, would you give it such horror?”"What do you think? Would I give horror to creatures like these?”Alicia's eyes turned towards the corpses that died in great agony, the blood on their bodies kept turning horribly red.“I am a person who completely does not understand this kind of thing!

If you're not going to be able to do anything extraordinary, then do what you can, don't force others to do what you want, but be what you do…”Slowly that girl's eyelids drooped, remembering the fight that previously occurred due to the desire she wanted for Gladio. And, this is what actually makes them have differences of opinion.“I actually feel very sorry for what happened, I myself have done something stupid, all this time I always wished I had never said that! But, I've always been like a weak girl who is completely incapable of doing various kinds of things, even though I have to believe what happened...”"Previously we discussed this, and if you want to continue to be a weak person then I won't be able to help you, you yourself have to make an effor

They were still in a state of confusion after seeing that monsters could be in the village."I heard that this monster said that he was ordered by the Demon God, this is proof that he was actually sent to do all this...""He also said earlier that his current figure has been ordered to make this resident a sacrifice, what sacrifice does he actually mean?"It is possible that until now he is still in high confusion, unable for Gladio to imagine what to do, of course if all the things that could happen would be a disaster."Everything that has happened is something that until now we can't know, even if we try to find out how it came from, it will still be a mystery..."“I don't know why this sounds a little creepy! It's possible that this problem that occurs is something that always becomes a big disaster!

I am one of the great beings who until now will rule over the entire area, and I am Brogu who became one of the powerful demons created by the Demon God...”Gladio narrowed his eyes. Brogu opened his mouth very wide, then an attack in the form of a high-speed ball of energy shot out. Kaboom... As fast as Alicia dodged this attack, the explosion took her by surprise. "You can't run away from me, now feel the death that you have to accept..."Brogu releases a series of high-speed energy balls, with this high-speed applying enough pressure to cause difficulties. “I can't believe that this is able to give away the fact that her strength is indeed that great…”Anxiety and doubt are certainly agitating inside

Destroy the building that the arrow penetrated.Gladio narrowed her eyes, there was a stream of energy she saw speeding up when the arrow was released.“So you've come far enough to improve! It's not bad for you who are able to improve, I think that if you continue to believe you will definitely be able to make significant changes, and this matter will be quite serious!”Alicia continues to fight that devil consistently.Things!
