The Ring of Power

Max's house is eerily silent when he returns from school. He arrived at an earlier hour than usual. He felt a mixture of relief and anger at the same time that he couldn't explain. The boy left his school backpack stored in the same place as always; He threw her on the floor, in the corner of the entrance of the house, where he stayed there until he felt like taking her to his room or until his grandmother scolded him to do it in case.So, when he got to his room, Max took off the ring, and put it on his desk, not paying much attention to the fact that the ring at that moment was nothing more than that; a simple decoration ring.That day, his last day of school without graduation, had been very exhausting, and he couldn't stop thinking about what life had in store for him from now on, that is, nothing. Without school, and without his routine, everything seemed very bleak for Max. His life would not be the same, and he only hoped that his grandmother could understand the reasons why he

Five years have passed since that day.Now, Max has become a completely different man, unrecognizable in the eyes of those who have known him before.Max had trained tirelessly under the guidance of the guardians, who took him in and treated him as if he were their son and not just another guardian or warrior.He has managed to perfect his skills, and given the position of the guardians, Max was already that warrior that Atería needed.His physique had changed drastically; Now, he is stronger, more agile, and more attractive than he ever was as a teenager. The ring that he always carried on his hand has become a very important amulet for his life. Thanks to that ring and his dedication; He has become a symbol of his power and determination.At this point in his life, Max was training in the lava terrain, a vast expanse of molten rock and searing heat. There is nothing green around it, there are no flowers, there are no trees, it is just pure black earth and hot lava.That day's traini

That night, Max is in his room, trying to sleep, but it was impossible for him to do so.The full moon dimly illuminated the room through the window that has no curtains.Every time Max closes his eyes, the same nightmare came back to torment him, as it did every night since he had come to that world to live with the guardians.Some nights used to be peaceful, others used to be terrifying because of those nightmares that Max couldn't control from happening. As soon as he closes his eyes, everything happens immediately; The same woman asked him for help to rescue her, and she did so with great terror.Furthermore, he used to see the face of a very pretty woman; white skin, honey eyes, and dark brown hair. Perhaps she is the most beautiful woman Max has seen up to that point in his life. He felt a connection with that inexplicable woman, he didn't know how to assimilate those feelings, Max had a slight feeling that he should help her in any way he could. However, he didn't know how to d

Max felt an overwhelming vertigo as soon as he entered the portal.Opening his eyes, he found himself in a place that looked vaguely familiar, but at the same time, he seemed to feel strangely distorted.This world was dark and desolate, similar to the human world he remembered living in before becoming a warrior, but this world was in ruins.Max had not noticed it, but his clothing changed, he no longer wore his warrior robe like the same one the guardians wore, rather, now, he wore a leather suit attached to his body, it is a decorated black suit with red. Even on his head, he only wore a black mask that had been glued to his eyes.The buildings and other constructions of the city have been destroyed by an inexplicable force, everything was on the ground living among rubble, smoke and dirt. The sky is perfectly covered with black clouds. There are no signs of human life, only the echo of the wind howling through the empty streets.The air is charged with a sense of imminent danger.

"Hey! Max, here I am!", The desperate woman screamed, her body trembling with fear because of the height at which she was levitating without knowing what her final destiny would be.From what Max could tell, the woman is very pretty, despite her appearance. Her hair is brown, her eyes seemed to be clear although she couldn't see them precisely because of the distance. The woman's figure was clearly of a slim build, although at that moment she was wearing a white coat that was a little loose for her size.Upon seeing her, a deep chill ran through Max's body, he knew it, she is the woman he so longed to find.Then, Max ran towards the edge, quickly assessing the situation. The branch from which the woman was hanging in the air was very weak, although the woman did not weigh more than about sixty kilos, it is evident that the branch is so loose that with any movement, no matter how slight or rough it may be, The woman would end up falling to the bottom of the ravine.There was no time to
