Chapter 5

"You...Marcus, you are the next guardian."

Marcus stared blankly at those words.

"Haha, I knew you won't understand this right away"

"No I get it, I am the next guardian and I gotta protect the Earth right?"

"Eh?..Then why were you staring like an Idiot at me?"

"You were repeating this for like the last 10 minutes or so...Duh"

"Oh....Um"

The Old man, Caught by surprise, stared at the ground awkwardly.

"Yep, So you got it huh?....I did not expect that at all"

The Old man walked towards the throne and stood beside it. 

"Do you know who I am?"

"Nope...No idea at all"

The Old man fixed his gaze on Marcus and opened his left fist while keeping his right behind him. 

A Blue flame puffed from his hand and it grew vigorously like it was being fed an Infinite number of firewood and fuel. 

After almost growing to a size of a *Molskus*. The flame vaporized slowly and started forming into a Blue figure. It looked like a human, But it did not have any detail. It was a plain body with hands, Legs and Blue Flames raging from It's head, Like Hair. 

The Old man looked at Marcus's face and chuckled again at his expression. 

"Now do you get it? My identity?"

"Mm....Nope" 

Marcus replied scratching his chin and staring blankly at the flaming human figure.

"Hmph, Kids these days, Doesn't care about their Ancestors and their history." 

He murmured.

'SNAP' 

The Old Timer snapped his finger once. The Sound echoed throughout the Dungeon and Marcus's ear rang.

Hundreds of Blue figures appeared behind the Old man. He then Paced slowly over to the throne and Sat, Posing gracefully in front of Marcus and snapped his fingers again. 

The Old Man's body started to change, He grew tall and started bulking. His Robe came loose and fell down revealing his Buffed up chest and  ripped Abs. 

Flames engulfed his lower body and formed itself like a Pant. A Flaming dragon which glowed blue was etched on his Right hand, Which started from his shoulder and ran all the way and ended at his wrist.

He had his eye color changed to blue which by itself intimidated Marcus. His Hair flamed and changed to blue. It kept on burning like the other Flame figures which were present beside and behind him. Everything about the Man had changed. 

Old? Nah! Dude was Handsome and Young Af now.

The Hundreds of figures which had formed before bowed down behind the New Man.

"Now Marcus, I ask you again. Who.Am.I?"

His eyes widened as he recognized the Man before him. 

"The..Fla..Flame Emperor?"

"CORRECT!!"

The Old man clapped and the whole room went 'BOOM' Marcus held on to his Dear life and gripped the grass patch as he tried to stop himself from being flung away by the tremendous pressure. 

The Old man spotted Marcus struggling and snapped his fingers again. 

"Sorry, my bad"

The pressure died down within a second. Marcus breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought about the Man who was gracefully sitting in front of him. Even the Rock throne itself was burning violently. 

Flame Emperor, The strongest man in history. The Flame Emperor ruled the Lands of Krozon during 200 TFP (The Flame period) almost two Thousand years ago. The History states that he left the throne and handed it over to the Richard Family, Who have succeeded the throne up till now, and Gabriel was one of them. 

Professor Brark who was the History Teacher had emphasized mainly on The acts of Flame Emperor and The (TFP) Time period. The Flame Emperor was believed to have awakened a Seed  greater than a Legendary seed on his own.

A CHEAT SEED.

Holding Immense power in his hands, The Flame Emperor dominated every Dungeon, no matter what the rank was. 

He was finally rumored to have entered a SC rank dungeon, which had appeared for the first time during that time period. 

After that he went missing forever, Along with the Dungeon. 

He was praised for his Bravery and Courage throughout the world and The Revoker Galactic Championship was held on behalf of the Flame Emperor. 

A statue of the Flame Emperor which rose over everything, even the King's Castle was built at the Centre of Krozon. This city was known as The Flame capital. 

To Sum it up, The Flame Emperor was the Greatest of all, Who had everything, Power, Wealth, Status!!.... And right now he was standing before Marcus. 

Marcus's eyes sparkled with admiration as he crawled over to The Emperor. The Flame Emperor whilst was embarrassed and proud as he saw Marcus crawling to him with admiration. 

Red streaks danced on his cheeks as the Flame Emperor waved his hand at Marcus. 

"Oh, Fans.." 

"I'm truly sorry for being a jerk all this time. Sorry for not understanding you, The Great Flame Emperor"

"Haha, I accept your apology, Now Stand up son."

Marcus's eyes were still sparkling. But it died down as soon as he thought about his recent experiences. 

"How lucky could you be? Emperor??."

"Hm?"

"You awakened the rarest and one of a kind seed "

"Ah...*Chuckle* ....as if you are any different" 

He dropped his voice at the chuckle so that Marcus couldn't hear the rest.

"Hm?"

"Nothing Marcus. You'll understand it all." 

The Emperor smirked at Marcus and for some reason Marcus felt warm and happy. 

A sudden question struck Marcus as he saw the Flame Emperor smiling in front of him.

"Why..Why Did you disappear, Emperor?"

"Hm? What's that?"

"Why'd you disappear when you had everything which a human would kill for?"

"Ah..Hahahahhahaha" 

The Man leaned back at his throne and laughed at the Artificial Sky in the Dungeon.

"I was Bored. Simply Bored."

"Eh?"

"When you have everything and you have no one to challenge you at all, The world starts getting boring." 

"So that's why you disappeared...Just because you were bored?"

"Hm you could say that"

"But how did you even disappear?. Once the Dungeon is cleared, you automatically return back to the Spawn circle."

 

"Hmmm..The Thing is Marcus" 

The Emperor shifted his gaze to Marcus.

"That Dungeon..was never a dungeon at all"
