"Aghhhhh" The sound of claws cutting through flesh echoed through out the city, the soldiers were in a rush to stop the advance of the monsters lead by the demons, "Where are the mages? they were suppose to be protecting the boundary to the city" one of the soldiers yelled out before being cut into two, the monsters overwhelming numbers and strength were too much for the weak soldiers, the city was over run by monsters in a matter of minutes... "Retreat protect the people and retreat, the mages has been wiped out, we are on our own, everyone retreat to the portal" A soldier who looked like the Head of the soldiers yelled out, cutting off a monster head, the monsters were blue, they had scales, with sharp fangs and claws, they had heads that looked like frogs and rabid dogs combined, they were ugly as hell and they smiled when they were slaughtering the soldiers, as if they were enjoying themselves.
"Retreaaaat" the Head soldier screamed at the top of his lungs, "Ahhh, this fucking monsters" seeing how his soldiers were being slaughtered and some were trying their best to retreat, he sighed and smiled at least they were able to buy enough time for the people of the city to escape, "This city has fallen also" he said in a low voice, before apparently running towards the retreat portal, everybody behind him was already dead, unlike the ordinary soldiers he was a trained warrior but he wouldn't last up to 5 minutes on the onslaught of these monsters he ran to the portal activated the self destruct and dived in, immediately he dived in the portal, the portal exploded.Meanwhile back in the Mage city, a gathering of top mages was on going, and they numbered up to 7, "The city of Landurf has fallen, making it 4 cities which has fallen to the demons, we have to do something Arch Mage" In a round table a mage who looked like he was in late 50s spoke, he was a man who was a bit musculine and had a few white hair, he had a straight nose, sharp eyes and a vigilant aura "We have lost more than a 100 mages in that onslaught, I heard one of the generals of the demons Belzeebulb was with them" Another mage who looked like he was in his late 40s spoke, he was just average looking man on the lean side, "Oh Belzeebulb was there one of the six generals of the demons, it seems we should be happy our losses count only up to a hundred" Another mage in the gathering said, he wasn't exactly human, because he had pointy ears, a straight body, he was white and he looked like he was in his early twenties, he was an elf."You are saying we were lucky, you stupid elf we lost our mages, due to our ignorance of the general of the demons being there, we already have our hands full and losing more of our mages means we would be relying on the warriors, you long lived idiot" a woman who had tiger ears and a tail said in a very unsatisfied voice which even sounded angry, she was a beastman, those who had characters of man and animals, she looked like she wanted to eat the man whole."Enough, I have heard of everything, it seems we must adhere to the prophesy, the oracle said in the time of need there would be six humans with extra ordinary mana, strength, wisdom and intelligence that would save us from this plight, we must go to the human realm and find the selected six or all of Alzdaar would be doomed" The one who was called the Archmage said, he sat in the middle of the room, he look like the typical imagination of a wizard, he had long white bears, white hair but had pointy ears too."How can we believe in the prophesy? we don't even know if this humans can really save Alzdaar" the elf who look like he was in his twenties said with a displeased look."Do you have any other ideas Darius?" the Archmage stared at the elf with a disapproving look, the elf called Darius kept his mouth shut afterwards."We must inform the mage school and the king, of this and all the rest Arch mages we cannot do this on our own" A mage who had been silent since the beginning said in a solemn voice, he was human but look to be in his early 30s, he looked like your typical idol, red hair, brown eyes, chiselled face, he was sitting at the far end of the room, and it seems he was the youngest there."Alright I will inform the king, the rest of you inform the mage school, they would be responsible for training the six human kids from the human realm" Archduke Von said while looking at the rest mages in the room before apparently averting his eyes and leaving the room, with these the rest of them started leaving the room one after another without saying a word to each other.This world was called Alzdaar, it was a world that was ruled by magic, there were warriors but they couldn't compare to the overwhelming strength of the Archmages, so the mages where the ones at the top of the totem, there is a war between the demons and the humans, elfs and beastmen and the demons were winning, the only thing keeping the coalition of the humans, elfs, and beastmen stable, is the spirit of fighting back and now they have lost another city to the demons, with these they can only fall to the human world which was earth to pick the six humans of the prophesy, this is the beginning of their story.
"Mum, mum, mum, I have been given a scholarship by one of the best schools in city Z" Nicholas ran to meet his mum, after reading the content of the letter delivered to them."Calm down son, what is it? speak slowly, I can't understand any thing you are saying dear" Miranda said while smiling at her son, who was clearly out of breath from his long run, her crystal clear blue eyes sparkled, her long wavy blue hair falling silently on her shoulders, she was a beautiful woman going to her mid thirties, but she still looked like she was in her early twenties."Mum I just got a scholarship into the "Glorious Academy" in city Z, that famous school that only a select few students every year"Nicholas said happily with a bright smile on his face, he felt proud, he was turning 15 soon and he was going to attend Glorious Academy a dream school for most people."Nicholas did you seat for the scholarship?, why were you selected?" Miranda asked a bit puzzled."This was also puzzling to me mom, but
A huge hologram appeared in the large hall and a man, who doesn't really look like a man, he had white long beard, his hair was white, he was white, he looked like a professor, he was on white robe, but the strange thing about this man was his ears, they were longer than normal, and these shocked the six of the teenagers that were sitting there."Hello chosen ones, you have been brought here to attend our glorious Mage Academy, but before you can become a member you would have to pass through a test" the man from the hologram said with a placid smile."Hey hey we heard nothing about a test, we were told that we were chosen as scholarship students nothing more, and what do you mean by our glorious Mage Academy, we were admitted to Glorious Academy, there was nothing like Mage, are we in a movie? this ain't funny" Carter replied back, he was hot blooded male, who cannot sit still for a minute, when Carter was screaming at the hologram, Nicholas on the other hand was observing the man in
"Hello everyone my name is Nicholas, shall we all introduce ourselves before the test starts" Nicholas said with a smile, he was being friendly because if they want to survive they would all have to work together."The name is Carter pretty boy and who put you in charge?" Carter the boy that have been rampaging and screaming ever since said, looking like a teenage tyrant."Don't mind him he is always grumpy, my name is Derrick, nice to meet you" the other boy said with a polite smile towards Derrick, his smile was really refreshing, 'a typical handsome boy' Nicholas thought to himself, forgetting he himself was still handsome."The name is Ivy, pleasure to meet you" 'wow what a melodious voice with a beautiful face' Nicholas thought to himself but smiled politely back at the girl, she was the girl who had a bun, with her purple hair and purple eyes."My name is Lily, pleasure to meet you" she said while giggling, she was the curious girl who asked if the man in the hologram was on a c
Derrick ran towards the nearest building he could see, his mind were a mess 'what have I gotten myself into, is this the end for me' Derrick was panting and running and came into a small building, the inside wasn't large but it was still empty, just a few boxes that was inside, it was like it was used for a store room.'I was so proud of gaining a scholarship into one of the best schools in city Z, only to find out that I have entered into a life and death situation' Derrick mind was running amok, he looked around aimlessly only to pick up the boxes that were lying around and using them to block the doors, he sat behind the door resting his back behind all the boxes he had placed shivering.Meanwhile Ivy and Lily were together, they ran towards an empty small building only to find two Roaches inside the building, Ivy took two red balls out of her bag and immediately threw them towards both Roaches, immediately they caught fire, they both incinerated and turned into ash."Ahh ahh ahh
"Holy shit we are screwed, we are so fucking screwed" Carter whispered to himself, the mammoth saw them and most of the neighboring monsters, and they began approaching the clocktower.The monsters approaching the trio drained all the blood from their faces, thier biggest fear was the mammoth, that can flatten the whole clock tower with it's trunk.Derrick was still shivering in the store room he locked up himself in, nobody knows what he was whispering to himself, shivering as he sat down there like a lost puppy, he was so scared he couldn't do anything and just sat there.A Hog Goger was approaching the store room which Derrick hid, and it started punching the wall with full force, the wall shattered into pieces, the Hog Goger smiled devishly at the petrified Derrick.'Move legs, move legs, move, please move' Derrick thought in his mind while crying pitiful, he couldn't monster the strength to run anymore, he didn't want to die but the fear in him was greater than the motivation, 'o
Meanwhile the trio, who were in a bad position were so scared that they froze for some seconds before they immediately decided to climb down as fast as possible, due to the huge size of the mammoth it was normally slow, so Nicholas, Carter and Freya decided to climb down immediately to avoid the mammoth, it was a monster they couldn't kill, and they could only avoid it when they see it."Let's quickly run downstairs and escape this monster before we are all flattened, the remaining monsters are already gaining on us" Nicholas screamed grabbing Freya's hand who was confused at first before a tinge of red appeared on her face, before storming downstairs.Carter followed suit behind them running as fast as he could, he wished he had an extra pair of legs right now, 'what kind of psycho test is this?' 'they only wanted us dead or what?' Carter thought to himself, he was scared that this could be all his fault, he has been running his mouth around wanting to hog all the attention but this
Seeing the situation they were in, the mammoth has seen them dodging the falling debris and killing the monsters on the rampage, the person who first noticed the mammoth looking at them was Carter, he was petrified at first but decided to push Nicholas who was closest to him towards the mammoth to distract it for him to run away, if Nicholas get killed it wasn't his concern he never liked that too know it all, taking all the limelight away from him, 'this wasn't payback but survival, don't hate me in your next life you damn idiot' Carter thought before apparently gathering his strength and pushing Nicholas towards the mammoth and running the other way."Ahhhh ahhh" Nicholas rolled down on the floor after screaming the unexpected push pulled him very close the mammoth, Freya eyes were blazing with anger when she saw this, she shouted "Nicholas" seeing how Nicholas was rolling towards the huge mammoth, she feared that Nicholas was already doomed 'this idiot has done this again, if I ca
"Stop scaring the kids Darius" the Archmage spoke looking at the young looking elf, he was the one who addressed them earlier and he was the one who brought them here after giving them the test, he was the one they were more familiar with.Nicholas was looking at the white beared elf, who seems too real to be a joke, the ordeal they just passed through made him realize that nothing happening now is a joke."Umm excuse me, we passed your test can we go home now, I don't want the scholarship again, I can't seem to get any signal here, please can you take me back home" Lily said with a sorry face, she looked like who was about to cry and the way she was pleading she wanted to go home was heart breaking."Kids calm down let me introduce myself and the people gathered around the table, before we begin" the Archmage said while stroking his beard."My name is Chandelier but you can call me Archmage, this is what am normally called, the old man who is a bit muscular over there is called high
The spar has began, you have to defeat eight opponents to become the winner, it sounds easy but not really easy, every opponent you fight your mana depletes, with each battle getting harder, it was a random selection, you can meet a strong opponent at the beginning or a weak one depends on your luck."Everyone is all you have been waiting for the weekly spar of the mage academy, this week spar is a little special, it would be the debut of the chosen six, who are deemed to become heroes" the MC said which was followed by a loud cheers, the public was in a frenzy, this was the first time they would be show casing or seeing the said chosen six, they have been in Alzdaar for a week plus now, but the public have no idea what they looked like, out of curiosity most of them came to the weekly spar hosted by the mage academy, that's the reason for the full house, it wasn't like this for the rest spars for the chosen six, most of the people created time, in order to come to the event, and witn
"Do I know you?" those were the words that came out from Catherine's mouth, and Carter who had been talking felt like an idiot, he thought everybody would have already known him and the group, even their costumes were made for them to stand out in the crowd and to be easily recognized, but Catherine words shattered that idea, Carter didn't know if she said it purposely or she didn't really know him."Oh am Carter, I said so earlier, am among the chosen five, who would save this world from the hands of the demons" Carter said with his chest out, his thinking has clouded him, that he accepted that Catherine doesn't know him and that's why she was behaving the way she was, and not because she just wants to embarrass him or doesn't want to talk to him altogether."I didn't ask for your introductions, and could you leave us alone, you are bothering us" Catherine replied coldly, her face was back to the cold face she usually carries around.This interaction made the surrounding students whi
"Seeing how they are dressed different from the rest of the students and I wasn't included, I guess nobody expects anything from me anymore, it hurts a bit though, that I was forgotten, well I wouldn't blame them we don't even know each other, apart from the time during the test and the mage tower we are all practically strangers, but I still feel a little hurt, even non of them including Freya could even check up on me" Nicholas muttered to himself, seeing the five of them acting like he was air, except Carter who just likes to add salt into injury, he felt hurt and unhappy.Until someone tapped on his shoulders from behind, but as soon as he turned to see the person tapping him, he received a punch directly in the stomach, although the hand that throw the punch was delicate and soft and it contained no amount of power.The crowd seeing this opened their mouth again, this time was even worse than when Nicholas came into the waiting room, he was punched by one of the school beauty of
"Have you heard, the chosen six are being trained personally by the high mages" "What do you mean chosen six, they are actually chosen five, the last one is a liability""I heard he has given up on himself and does nothing but stays in his dorm room all day, he doesn't even attend classes""I can't wait to wipe the floor with his face, he only has a nice face going for him, he is totally useless"There was gossip flowing all around about Nicholas and the teachers did nothing to stop it, even the rest five he came with, where being cold as if they don't even know him."hahaha I knew that fool wouldn't amount to nothing, I have gotten used to my elements that I can shoot a fireball straight at him without even looking at him" this was Carter he seemed, he had put on more muscles in the span of a week, he was talking amongst the rest four, who were known has the chosen five."Mind your manners Carter" Freya said a little disinterested."Sorry miss Freya, do you still have feelings for t
"Hey kid, what are you saying?" Layla responded in Nicholas's head, this left Nicholas tongue tied, he felt his whole body that was tensed relaxing."How are you speaking to me right now, am not in the stream as of now?" Nicholas said a little bit confused hearing Layla's voice in his head.."Wait is this because of the equal contract, we just entered?" Nicholas asked in a little excited tone."Bingo... kid we are connected now, we can speak with one another no matter where we are, am actually still trapped in the stream, but I can share thoughts and images with you and you can also do thesame" Layla said a bit excited, she has been trapped in the vicinity of the stream for far too long that anything would make her happy."You sound really happy, I don't think you would be this happy signing a contract with me?" Nicholas said to Layla."You wouldn't understand kid, I have been trapped for so long, now I can see the world through you, even though am not out yet with your help I would s
IVY POVAfter seeing what was happening in the classes, these people are not ready to teach us anything important, we were supposed to be a priority not an option, where is that Archmage that keep saying we were Alzdaar last hope, strolling through the academy the other students were still staring at us from afar as if we were clowns that is making a performance, is been a day already, and we are already wearing our robes.I should probably find somewhere to train peacefully, seeing those stupid boys I don't think we can count on them."Hello miss, can you give me a little of your time" I heard a voice that I wasn't familiar with, so I stopped and turned only to see a blonde elf, he was really handsome but I was not in the least moved, I had my priorities in check."Yes, who are you? and what do you want?" I asked, I wanted him to make himself clear, my time was already limited, the classes were useless to us, and knowing that our room mates have already took us through the introducti
"Where have Catherine gone to, I have been looking for her all this time, I wanted to ask her the amount of manner needed to create a water dragon, I asked the water element teacher during her class but she denied me the answer saying it was too early for me to create such a spell, but I don't think so" Freya said to herself while pacing up and down in their dorm room, she was actually pretty scared and wanted to get stronger quickly, the nonchalant attitude she saw in her teammates today in class motivated her to do more, she already knew that she was the only one that can lead the group if Nicholas was out of the picture now.After waiting for a while, she saw Catherine coming into the dorm room smiling, this prickled Freya who was anxiously waiting for her arrival ever since, she wasn't happy seeing the smiling Catherine, who was frowning at her all day long yesterday."What's so good, that made the great Catherine smile like a little girl" Freya said trying to gain some informatio
'Where is Layla?' Nicholas thought, "I am here like I said but she is not showing up and am not even hearing her voice, should I take a bath then? seeing how it would be hard for me to earn academy points, I should save up by bathing here, but why is there no one here, even though is a nice stream in the school" Nicholas said looking at the stream water."Stop it don't blind my eyes with your nakedness again, I don't want to see it for the second time" Nicholas heard Layla's voice in his head, when he was about to pull his clothes and dive into the stream."Where have you been? I have been looking for you since I came" Nicholas replied grumpily."I have been here, I am trapped here for crying out loud, where would I be, anyways why I kept quiet was because you were followed, you couldn't even perceive that you were followed and you call yourself a mage" Layla rebutted Nicholas words with what she said."What do you mean I was followed?" Nicholas replied Layla who was talking in his he
NICHOLAS POVI took the book and looked for somewhere to sit, the book was heavy but looking at it, the pages inside were few and thick, I guess they don't know the concept of keeping a book simple here.I opened the old and weird looking book only to see that there were three types of contract known to all.SERVANT CONTRACT: The contract in which you are the superior, where by the person who becomes your servant, would be your servant for life and cannot betray you, only you have the power to break the contract, in any occasion the servant decides to betray you, his heart would burst.EQUAL CONTRACT: The contract states that both individuals entering the contract are equal, they can not betray each other, their lives are linked with one another, they are to die together, share life spans and share memories, equal contract can not be broken.SUPERIOR CONTRACT: This contract is the opposite of the slave contract, in which you become the slave and the other individual become the superio
