“I'm commander Jax, ruler of the most feared and merciless army teams in the whole universe. Welcome to Von, Hans Ronald."
For a moment I realize that my mouth is gaping open. I close it and try to speak but I can't find my tongue, the man standing in front of me is staring at me coldly. His eyes are blue and they look like my fingers would freeze if I try to touch them, his hair and his eyebrows are coal black, striking a very dramatic effect against his blue eyes. He's tall, about my height. And he looks strong, too strong. His whole body is toned with sinew muscles and he looks like he was carved out of fine stone by Michael Angelo. He's goodlooking, so goodlooking that I start to question my looks for the first time in my entire life. There's a scar that runs from his temple down below his ear and there's another one that runs from his collar bone and disappears under his shirt. His lips are cherry pink, his jaws are hard and he's still staring at me as if he wants to kill me.“How did you know my name?." I asked him squinting my eyes. He literally rolls his eyes and mutters “people of earth. " Under his breath." You were appointed by the system because you have been deemed worthy to become part of our army. It's an opportunity people would kill for. " he says to me but he doesn't try to make an emphasis and I blink my eyes trying to process all he's said to me.... I couldn't even produce a good reply." I'll take you to see our king now, he'll explain better. " he says walking out of the big metal room. " Follow me. " he instructs me and he turns away and starts to leave. I followed closely behind him and we exit a big metal building... We got into a car that I have never seen before and he drove us to a big mansion.“Is your car a limited edition?." I ask him but he doesn't reply me, he just keeps driving. Am I being kidnapped?.We reach the building. It's more of a palace than a family house, it's windows are slim and it's doors aren't too wide, instead they're tall. And the materials that makes up the building is made out of.... Is that gold and rubies and some kind of metal that I have never seen before. I almost gasp, taking in the whole grand scenery. “This is the throne room." Jax explains to me as we walk into the throne room, which is also made out of gold. If there were diamonds too, I wouldn't believe it because what looks like diamonds were too big to be wasted upon a house structure, it should adorn the body instead.“Welcome, Hans, to Von. The most powerful world in the cosmic!." A commanding voice said distracting me. I turn to the speaker to see a man, he's tall, with silver grey hair and he's sitting on a throne with the majesty of a lion. On his head is a big crown, and on his face is a very bright and infectious smile. My eyes wandered away from the man because another figured had caught my attention. It was a girl, she looked.... Astonishing. I blinked away from her and placed my attention back to the... King my eyes kept on returning back to this girl. Her eyes are moving all around my body, scanning and taking in my figure. Now she's staring at me as if she just saw a demigod... I'm used to the attention, I know I'm goodlooking, but there's something about her stare that makes me want to blush and tell her to stop flattering me. I clear my throat.“Who are you and how do you know my name?." I asked the man and then Commander Jax walks towards me and he places his hand on my shoulder, which he tightenes as he whipers.“Speak to our king with respect." Commander Jax orders in a very low but menacing voice. I swallow hard and he moves away from me, I turn to the King who hasn't wiped that smile off his face. He seems like a very nice guy.“I'm King Cypher and if you're wondering how we knew you name... The system had recommended you to us because of your special powers. The thing is, the two most powerful worlds are at war, Von, which is this world in which you stand right now, is being savagely attacked by Tar, the dark corrupted world. They seek nothing but the downfall of Von and slowly, we're all dying." The king said clasping his hands together, his whole demeanor has changed, his shoulders are slumped and his smile has been replaced with a frown. The girl, sitting on a smaller but beautiful chair beside his, coughs and my eyes wanders to her. She's wearing a crown, is she his wife?. She's too young to be his wife and although King Cypher looks handsome, she looks like she's an offspring of Zeus and Helen of Troy. She's so goddamned beautiful, I think to myself.“This is my daughter, Diane." King Cypher says to me and I nod. I don't address girls and I'm not going to start here.“Address the princess!." Commander Jax says, returning his painful grip on my shoulder, once again reminding me that he's standing just beside me but he's as silent as a graveyard.“No!." I say to him and push his hand away from my shoulder. I'm not used to being bossed around, I give the orders!.“Is there a problem?." King Cypher asks.“Your majesty, everything is alright." Jax says.“Let me cut through the chase. The world, Tar are much more advanced in technology than we are. They're more advanced than any other planets in the Cosmos. Luck shines on us when your system informs us that you have the exact same powers we need, the strength of a god, the ruthlessness of a million soliders combined, the power to make and destroy worlds…raw power that resides in you, we need your help Hans, we need you to save Von, please. " The King says taking off his crown which makes the people in the room gasp, except his daughter, Diane who's is still staring at me, immediately my eyes lands on hers, she takes them off and places them somewhere else. " Wait what?." I asked almost hysterically. The whole thing the 'King' Cypher said starts to replay in my head and I can't stop myself from laughing hard.“Wait, is this some kind of reality TV show, come on where is the camera?." I asked turning around the room, half expecting the crew of this TV show to burst through the doors congratulating me for figuring it out quickly, but nobody moves a muscle or even breaks a smile, they're being serious.My smile fades as I take in the look on their faces, they looked hurt, all of them. I turned to look at the king, his daughter and the Kingsmen, they look like they're all humans. Now that I know that they aren't joking, I feel hurt for them and I want to help them, but I can't. It's an intra-world war and they expect me, Hans Ronald, to fight for them. I don't even hold open the doors of my car.“I'm sorry King Cypher, but I am not the man you want. What you need is a warrior, I'm weak, I know how to run companies but that's all, truly. You have the wrong person, if there was a way I could help, I would, but there is no way that I can help, I'll just be a pain in your royal ass.... " Everyone starts to laugh, except commander Jax and Princess Diane. Those two haven't even cracked a single smile. I smile, the King composes himself and with the raise of a single finger, everyone in the room shuts up, that is my thing, now I feel subtly uncomfortable in the face of th
But a single raise of King Cypher's finger shuts Troy up and he sits down.“Take him to the royal guest room." The king tells Jax. I pull my hand away from Jax's grip, he looks very angry. He turns away and he starts to lead me to the room. I walk Into it and I notice how beautiful and opulent it is. “You can leave now." I say to Jax and he stares at me long and hard, he turns away and then he marches down the hallway and disappeared down a flight of stairs. I take a seat in one of the couch, I didn't count till thirty before a knock came on my door. I spring up in happiness hoping that the teleporting machine has been prepared and I'm going to go back to earth.“Sir Hans, His Majesty, King Cypher is inviting you to have a royal dinner with them in the royal dinning hall. " the servant says." Tell him I appreciate but as I said earlier, I'll rather return back to earth sooner." I tell him and he bows, then he walks away. I go to sit down once again and he knock
“Get him before he gets away!." Jax shouts. My heart is skipping beats and I'm terrified. I reach the top of the stairs and I feel the feets of dozens of guards running after me. I run towards the door of my room, that is when I hear the first gun shot. Impulsively, I fall to the ground and I start to hear them fire at me but I'm laying low, if eventually, we're on levelled ground, they would shoot me to bits.“Shield, shield, fucking shield, system, wake up, activate shield, activate weapons!." I'm screaming on top of my voice and my voice is getting shadowed by the sound of gunshots.(Decline system can't follow multiple commands at a time.) I hear in my ear.“F*ck." I say placing my hand over my head as a bullet graze my knee. I fold my knee towards my chest.“Seize fire, seize fire you morons!." I heard Jax ordering... It took a few seconds before everything got calm and they had stop shooting. Immediately things get quiet, I spring to my feet and I start to run,
I see the astonished look on her face after I order her to get out. But she's just staring at me, she doesn't move“I'm doing this because of the innocent people of Tar. If they wipe your memories and make you subject to their command, with the amount of power you possess, they'll be able to control you and that world will be destroyed into bits. You're a good person, I can feel it, please help those poor people." She says pleadingly. I nod. I feel ashamed of myself for labelling her as wicked as her father, she's nothing like that man. She connects the chip and after a few seconds she tells me that she's done.“Thank you." She says to me. I am speechless and I don't know what to tell her.“You're welcome." I reply.“You're going to forget I ever came here and if our plan works, your original memory will be restored." She says backing away towards the door, I couldn't sleep her again.“What If it doesn't work?." I ask “Be optimistic." She demands. " Wait, if they wipe
I hear Jax shuffling around but I couldn't see him because of how dark the dungeon is. Then I hear King Cypher open the door and through the stolen light that is casted from outside, I could see him. He's wearing a gas mask, and beside him is a gas tank. I hear the gas being released and slowly, I felt the arms of sleep. I fell to the ground because I couldn't hold my legs straight any more. “You're going to be a servant of Von." King Cypher said and that was when I slipped into the void. *** I'm waking up, and everything seems oddly familiar but this is the first time I have ever woken up in a metal room. I stand up from the ground and I walk to the only door in the room.“Where am I?." I knock on the door and there is no reply. This feels like a dream. " Where is this place?. " I ask myself. I knock again and then the door opens to reveal a man. He's about my height but his shoulders are broader, he's wearing a black t-shirt and I can see his musc
“Troy is very old, don't worry about him or whatever he said. He's being taken to his room to rest." " I'm sure that Jax has told you why you're here. " King Cypher says to me and I nod. I hear a cough and for the first time, my eyes wander away from the king and I notice her sitting by the king... A very beautiful young lady. Roughly my age, with fine skin and light blonde hair. “Hans, meet my beloved daughter, Diane." King Cypher says and i nod.“Nice to meet you Princess Diane." I say to her. She doesn't smile at me, she just stared at me. I turn away from her and I turn to look back at King Cypher. Unlike him, his daughter is cold. King Cypher is such a nice man, the voice in my head says and I nod.“Make me proud Hans, the league of nations have made great statements about you." King Cypher says.“I'll Be A Great Servant of Von." I say taking a low bow and king Cypher's laugh quake through the whole throne room.“Come and say hi to your team." Jax says and I turn
It's the second day of my training and I'm already bruised. I and Master Nai had been training with the swords again and I wasn't looking, he had hit my sword, and my sword was bent, just a single dent and it tore my flesh and blood spilled out. I looking at myself in the mirror, just then, master Nai comes towards me holding a wet towel. I press the towel on my injured arm thinking it's soaked in water but it isn't, it's like an antiseptic liquid, I had stop myself from yelping so that I wouldn't seem weak in the eyes of master Nai.“I'm sorry." I muttered to him.“For what, I was the one that struck you with my sword." He said walking away. “I should be the one to be sorry Hans." He says. My arm is throbbing.“No, if I had doged it..." I say to master Nai and he holds up his hand in the air.“It's the ending of our training for today, take care Hans." He says to me and I nod. I take the towel with me, still pressing it against my arm to stop the bleeding. I wa
It's my seventh day of training and I'll be damned if someone says I'm not as quick on my feet as Master Nai. I have learnt everything, from his pose, to his gestures, everything there is to learn about sword fighting. I hit his sword, there's a loud slash and I know that one of our swords would go flying, and it wouldn't be mine... It's his. Now he's vulnerable, his word is laying somewhere on the floor and he's looking at me, he's very amused. He starts clapping and I throw my sword down.“I'm as fast as you master Nai." I tell Nai and he smiles.“You are Hans, you're a fast learner, probably the fastest I have ever trained." He says.“Or maybe you're getting old." I say to him and he laughs throwing his head backwards. “Maybe." He says eyeing me. “It's your super powers that are supporting you, Hans. Without then you'll be weak, but you're growing strong." He tells me."So what are we doing tomorrow?." I ask him.“There's no tomorrow for me and you." He says pick
