Prologue
In a time of darkness and despair, a chosen one was selected among the people of Nazaweth
A child who will grow up to become a hero and save the world from the hands of the evil dragon of infinity, Ragnarok
The child was born and raised, and was selected by the gods to fight the dragon
The child, now a man, blessed by the gods and humankind, went alone to the deep world to fight the bringer of calamity
Chapter 1
‘’Sigh…… ?’’
In a deep dark world, a figure could be spotted walking alone
In fact, the figure emit a bright pristine light that made it seem like a god
That figure, is the hero himself
Equipped with the armour of the gods, the holy shield [Shield Of Heaven], which was said to made from the same material as the impenetrable gate of heaven and the [World Saviour] blade, which was forge from the essence and courage of the people and gods of Nazaweth.
‘’Sigh…..can’t believe the time has come for me to fight against it, ?’’ said the Hero, who was also known as the White Paladin in Nazaweth. After saying goodbye to the inhabitants of Nazaweth, he had travelled a long way to the deep dark world. He was thankful that he does not need to eat, drink or do any necessities that a normal human must do as he has the ring [Ring of Ultimate Endurance] to solve all the problem.
As the hero took another step, a sudden shake cause the hero to stumble. Sweat began to accumulate around his neck. He felt a strong evil aura being emitted in front of him.
He quickly stood in battle stance, ready to attack at any moment
A sudden shake was felt again and this time, it was much stronger
It felt as if the world suddenly collapse on itself. A huge eye appeared in front of him and from the darkness itself, a creature of unimaginable size appeared
[The Dragon God Of Infinity]
The gods of nazaweth predicted the coming of the dragon god of infinity, and the calamity that it will bring. They knew that they themselves could not beat the dragon, but during that time of despair, a prophecy was foretold that a hero would save the world of Nazaweth from the dragon.
For a thousand years the gods prepared the birth of the chosen hero, and when the time came, the gods took the baby from the parents and raised him
At the age of 3, he fought against the legendary monster [Hylia] and won against it in one hit. His feats became more well-known and by the age of 20, his feats become uncountable.
For the hero, all the monsters he fought in the past was super easy. But now, as he prepares to engage the [Dragon God Of Infinity], he realized that……winning is inevitable against this monster
But as he remembers the inhabitants of Nazaweth, their sparkling faces that showed confidence that the hero can do it, made him realized that he cannot turn back and give up because if he does, Nazaweth would be destroyed by the dragon
He cannot allowed it, and therefore, he would risk his life for the sake of saving his beloved world
He prepared his God-Class weapon [World Saviour] and cast his most powerful spell, [World End], a spell so powerful that when combined with his weapon, is enough to destroy millions of world
‘’Engage spell, WORLD END!’’
With a slice so powerful that it could literally break reality itself, it hit the dragon god so hard that it was flung so far away that when the hero tried to see the dragon again, it appeared as a small dot.
With a roar that seemingly sounded as if the universe was ending with a bang, the dragon god flew towards the hero with unimaginable speed.
The hero, who was already in battle stance after the first slice, cast the same spell
‘’Engage spell again, WORLD END!’’
With a mighty slash, the dragon roared in agony as the slice reached through his entire body.
The dragon, unable to withstand the power of the almighty slash, immediately exploded in a dazzling array of bright white light
The hero, who was utterly surprised by the outcome, could only say shout in surprised.
‘’EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!’’
Chapter 2
‘’Well, that was fast, I never expect it could be this easy.’
The white paladin sat down alone in the deep dark world. He quietly observed the monster drop he received. It was a black blade, and it looked extremely incredible.
The blade dropped by the [Dragon God Of Infinity], the [Infinity Blade]
‘’Seems like [World Saviour] could not handle the burden of my ultimate spell, huh ?’’
The ultimate blade that was forged by the inhabitants of Nazaweth was broken into pieces after being swung so hard.
‘’Well, at least I have a substitute here, ?’’
The white paladin picked up the [Infinity Blade] and cast the [Item Checker] spell on it
‘’HOLY SHIT!’’
The stats for the blade are quickly off the chart. If it was compared to the God-class blade [World Saviour], it is like comparing the power to the size of an ant to the size of the world of Nazaweth.
‘’Damn….this thing is completely broken,’’
He chuckled as he imagined the gods looking at the sword in awe
‘’Well I’m tired anyway, going to take a quick sleep and then head home for a mighty celebration! ?’’
He quickly put the broken shards of the God-Class blade [Word Saviour] into his item box, which was in a shape of a chest box
Item box are basically pocket dimensions, and it allows quick storing for all types of items. It was given by the gods to him as a gift, and it was extremely useful. An item box can store up to 5000 items and to make it appear, one has to cast the spell [item box].
He laid down on the dark solid floor of the deep dark world, and slept
Chapter 3
The hero could hear the sound of birds tweeting away, and the feeling of something warmth….
He opened his eyes slowly while thinking about how to react to his comrades.
He was in a small grass clearing, with trees surrounding him in all direction
He gazed at the sky. The sun was overhead, indicating that it was noon
Could it be that his comrades had teleported him back into Nazaweth? But no one was waiting for him.
He was still wearing the armour of the gods, the shield [Shield Of Heaven] and his current sword, [Infinity Blade]
He cast his spell [Item box] to confirm that all his valuable items are inside
‘’Phew….it’s all inside. Hmmm…..got to imagine a mini health potion….. ?’’
A small elixir with a strange red liquid appeared inside the chest box.
‘’Seems like everything is working! ?’’
The hero stood up and cleared the dust from his back with a swipe of his hands. He observe his surrounding slowly
‘’For all the time I spent in Nazaweth, I never felt this type of aura before….’’
In Nazaweth, he was used to the aura being emitted by the different places that he visit. But this time however, the place he is currently in now, felt so different than the aura he felt back home.
He walked slowly into the forest while observing the surrounding.
The forest seemed to stretch endlessly, but the hero did not hesitate, as he knows that somehow, he is going to reach the end of the forest soon enough
After walking for countless hours, he saw gleaming white light in front of him. He approached cautiously, and before he knew it, the white light gave in to a wonderful background
Beneath him stood a cliff, and a grass plain stretched endlessly to the horizon. At the misty horizon is a group of snow-capped mountains
The surrounding reminds him of Nazaweth, yet again, it does not seem so. The aura felt was completely different.
He noticed a small smoke coming out from the distance. As he observed closely, he noticed a group of giant mechanical dolls attacking the villagers.
‘’What the hell is that?!’’
In Nazaweth, mechanical dolls were often used in housekeeping or in retail industry. But from what he observed right now, the mechanical dolls were nothing like the one used in Nazaweth, the mechanical dolls are huge, about 50 meweth tall(Author’s note: 50 metre tall)
The village was burning and the mechanical dolls were attacking the villagers with some sort of machine that shoots projectile. The projectile were seemingly small, however, it was deadly as it pierced the body of the villagers like paper.
Outraged, the hero quickly ran towards the village at godlike speed
Chapter 4
The hero quickly arrived to the scene and draw out his sword [Infinity blade]
‘’How dare you mechanical dolls attack the villagers, you shall be destroyed!’’
The mechanical dolls, who ignored the hero, was still shooting at the villagers
‘’Tch, engage spell, Starfall!’’
The hero raised his sword up in the air, and in a seemingly beautiful and dazzling display, cast an out of this world magic circle which will make anyone in the vicinity feel in awe.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
The large magic circle flew to the sky and spun. As if the stars were falling from the sky, huge bright light came out of the magic circle and rained the surrounding, incinerating the mechanical dolls into ashes while not destroying the village and its inhabitants.
In the few moment, everyone in the village went silent, before breaking out in a commotion
‘’We’re saved!’’
‘’WOW!’’
‘’Amazing, who did that?’’
They were all in shock. What sort of technology did the paladin used to bring an intricately designed object to the sky….and what was the bright light that came out of it? And what was this ‘spell’ the paladin said just now?
There were so many questions that the villagers want to ask. As they look at the caster, everyone was in awe. The light that the paladin emitted was gentle and calming. It is hard to describe it, but it felt as if the world’s peace is all concentrated in that.
The villagers all kneeled before the white paladin with only one exception, a single person at the corner of the clearing
The person approached the paladin cautiously, before calming himself and gave himself a bow.
‘’Thank you for saving the village, as the chief of this village, I am truly grateful,’’
‘’Ah it’s okay, I was just passing by when I noticed the commotion, ?’’
The villagers all gasped. Never before had they heard a voice so gentle.
One of the kneeling villagers asked the pristine white paladin.
‘’……If it’s not rude, could you tell us your name?’’
‘’My name? ?’’
‘’Uh…yes’’
‘’My name is Hero ?’’
Chapter 5
After observing the mass funeral, the white paladin was invited by the village chief to have a tea with him. The white paladin sat, and across the table was the village chief.
‘’I’m glad that you are staying with us for a while, Mr.Hero, are you perhaps a traveller?’’
The white paladin nodded
‘’I see……well in that case, do you want anything in exchange for saving the village? I know that many travellers nowadays prefer being gifted upon helping others. So…’’
‘’Ah, im not looking for any reward. But, I would like to have some info on where am I now ?,’’
‘’Wait, you’re lost?!’’
‘’Yes ?.’’
The village chief was in disbelief. He looked so confident and honest about himself. Usually travellers would not be so direct about themselves so that to maintain their pride as a traveller.
‘’and I don’t know much about this world as well,’’
The village chief frowned. A traveller who does not know about the world? Should he lied to him? Although he saved the village, he could have ulterior motives. Information is very valuable in this world, and if he said it truthfully to the mysterious paladin in front of him, it could lead to trouble.
But when he observed the white paladin again, he was overwhelm by the paladin’s radiance, and because of that, he ignored his initial idea of not trusting him.
(By the way, the aura emitted by Hero is actually a special effect called Holy Aura X, which increases the user’s luck and stats. It also damages evil being around the aura’s radius and in addition, it can soothe all negative emotions of the people surrounding Xanadu.)
‘’ahem…anyway, after I tell you everything that I know, you have to explain what sorcery you use to make that giant thing appear and make it rain that bright light. ‘’
‘’Okay, ? ‘’
The world that Xanadu in, was in fact, not Nazeweth. Apparently, he is in the territory of the Mungul Alliance, a primitive kingdom ruled by different chieftains. The mechanical dolls that attacked the village just now was called ‘The Vulcans.’ They are robots, or the equivalent of mechanical dolls in Hero’s perspective. They were deployed by The Federation Of Independent Nations, a group of highly advanced nations that specialized in technology. The country is located at the northern side of the Mungul Alliance. In the far eastern side of the world, separated by a vast ocean, are two continents. At the north, the United Esper State, a country consisting of espers and in the south, is the country known as Eden, a country filled with flying steampunk castles and cities(Author’s note: It’s quite similar to the city in bioshock infinite)
One thing that Hero realized was that there is an absence of magic. They used a substitute called ‘’science’’ to make up their daily needs.
The village chief then explained the currency used by the different countries, their culture and political views. The Mungul Alliance are on friendly terms with the Edenist. But were not on friendly terms with the Federation Of Independent Nations and The United Esper State.
The white paladin nodded in response as the village chief answered his question.
When the village chief finished his explanation, he paused for a while, cleared his throat, and asked the white paladin in front of him
‘’So….what was that? What sort of technology did you use to make that thing appeared?’’
By that thing, he was clearly referring to the spell that Hero invoked earlier.
‘’Ah…that one, well since I’ve already heard what’s going on in this world, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to tell you what I did,’’
‘’…..what?’’
‘’Engage wide-spread spell, Memory Amnesia’’
With a snap of a finger, the entire village, which was previously bustled with noise, quickly fell silent.
It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of wind blowing through the village
‘’Thank you for the info, village chief,’’
Hero stood up and walked outside
The cold evening air blew through the empty clearing as Hero walked across the clearing.
‘’Equip, my [Suit]’’
The brilliant white armour changed into a beautiful white suit. His sword disappeared without a trace
‘’Well, time to see how the world looks like,’’
In a split second, Xanadu disappeared, and the once quiet village quickly resumed its bustling activities.
The village chief, who stood like a statue, shake his head.
‘’Eh…….what the hell had just happened?’’
Chapter 6
The federation of independent nations is a group of countries located north of the Mungul Alliance. Ruled by a diplomatic organisation, one might say that these group of countries were indeed the technological powerhouse of this world, with the United Esper Nation slightly behind them.
With roads that seemed to be lit up by cyan neon lights, anyone from a primitive land would gasp at the technological advancement that this federation made.
The cars were floating in the air, and the roads were automatically cleaned by robots. But there was something missing, there’s no pedestrians at the side of the road at all. The pavement by the side of the road was empty, except for one
A handsome bishonen in a seemingly out of place clothing was walking down the pavement.
If the roads was crowded with people, many would stare at the out of place character. Fortunately for him, there were none
The handsome bishonen whose name is Hero, stared at the scenery before him.
’’Incredible……’’
For Hero, who previously lived in a primitive world, such a sight before him would definitely make him in awe.
In front of him was a city filled with towering skyscrapers. Surrounding the city is a 30 meweth(metre) high wall.
In the middle of the city was an exceedingly tall skyscraper that surpasses the rest. A building that seemed to grab the endless blue sky and beyond.
At the spire. A huge golden circle float around it, which gives an impression that it is an important building or some sort.
‘’hmm…’’
As Hero was pondering, he took out a piece of folded paper. What was written in the front page of the folded paper would definitely make many to confirm that he’s a traveller
What’s written in the front page was-
‘’A guide to the cities of the federation of independent nation.’’

Afterword
Hi everyone, zetara here. I'm the same guy on MAL, you can find me there as well. So i wrote this on the spot when i came across this website. Originally, i wanted to post this experimental story in wattpad & other website. But i realized that the websites were already saturated with exceptional stories. Anyway, this story is an experimental one(or one shot, if you want to call it). I'm not sure if I want to continue this story or not because i've got a lot of stories that i want to write but couldn't due to lack of time(Maybe i'll continue to write in 3 weeks time). lol, anyway, I swear if this story gets top-rated. I'll be happy as fuck.
Thanks for reading!!
