********************************************
Prologue – A Hero’s Companion (Volume 1)
God Emperor’s POV
Beyond a portal appearing above a certain world two beings were overlooking them. It seems this world is called Reminil, a world where the strength of people can only be measured by their skills. There is no God’s system here or at least no Gods at all. Status does not appear in this world instead there is what you call “Skill List”.
God Emperor: Hmm… very interesting dimension… I didn’t think such a place where such system exist… what do you think?
The God Emperor said towards the white haired man beside him.
???: I think it is interesting just like the other ones uncle.
God Emperor: True… still, it is kind of a weird feeling where I am looking at a place where my powers cannot reach…
???: Well it is beyond our jurisdiction as Gods after all…
God Emperor: Hmm… let me try something… you said a link can also be used despite such restriction right?
???: Yes, I have tried it.
God Emperor: I see… then I too will try it. Let me see… oh? What is this… this child… his fate is far too pitiful.
I said as he looks at a child who has black hair and sky blue eyes that seems to be working on a field. I then try to use God’s eyes at the child.
Skill List:
Strength Lv4
Defense Lv6
Intelligence Lv5
Mind Lv4
Speed Lv3
Luck Lv-20
God Emperor: As I have suspected… and it seems his fate is nearing his end, I pity this child.
???: So what will you do?
God Emperor: I’ll link with him.
You have established a link.

God Emperor: Ahh! Of course, let us leave right away. (Young child, I leave your fate onto your hands, as my first ever link in another dimension, I will leave you a gift, it is called an ultimate blessing, though mine is stronger than the other Gods and God King’s blessing so I wish you luck in this common world and we will meet again as you are now linked to me.)
I said as the portal in front of me closes.

Estral’s POV
My name is Estral Hallion, 6 years old, when I was young my mother was killed by orcs and 2 years later because of my father’s depression he killed himself, but even if I am all alone, I still have this field. Growing plants of different kinds is my enjoyment as I am a farmer after all, just like my parents… my parents… I am all alone aren’t I…
Whenever I sell my vegetables in the town, I always get bullied… they call me the “Cursed Child” except for Arcas who is my friend as well as Serine his childhood friend. They call me that because for 35 times I visit the village it always gets attacked by monsters… luckily Arcas’ father was once before a legendary mercenary, Arceno.
Unlike me, he is called “The Destined One” when he was born he was proclaimed by the oracle as a “hero” born to save this world. If so then I am happy to have a friend like him. Heroes are people who were born with immense strength and strong fate. They are fated to battle against Demon Lords who lives in the Forbidden Continent. Right now there are 12 Demon Lords. As for heroes it is said that 4 heroes will be born said the oracle once.
One day, while plowing the field I was startled…
Learned Skill: Soul Power
Estral: A skill… yahoo!! A skill!! I learned a skill!!?? Did I just learn a skill?
I couldn’t believe it… a skill in this world is extremely rare, no one knows how you get these skills but it depends on one’s talent. My friend, Arcas is a genius, he already learned 3 skills by the time he was born and these are… Holy Light, Dark Slayer, and Healing which are 3 ultra rare skills.
But what is this “Soul Power”? I never even heard of such skill… hmm… why don’t I try using it… nothing happened… well I guess skill needed a certain “action” or “condition” to be used after all. I will discover how to use it one day, for now let’s head to the village, I’ll sell some of my vegetables. Upon arriving in the village, I started to panic… corpses everywhere… I wanted to run but… my legs won’t let me…suddenly, something flashed in my mind… it was my friend Arcas, I wanted to find him even though I can’t do anything as I am weak why am I trying to find him?
It is because he saved me… he is my only friend who treated me nicely, even his childhood friend, Serine treated me coldly. I ran through the village under the red sky with piles and piles of corpses around me. I wanted to vomit but I held on. Then… I found him… he was holding Serine in his arms while glaring at the demons around him with tears flowing from his eyes… I look around and saw his mother’s bloody body lying besides him. I see… so she protected him.
Near them was his father who was full of rage as his killing intent can even be felt from here. His father was fighting off the demons around them as well as the large demon wearing armor. He has an insignia which looks like a horn with thorns surrounding it which means he is a demon general…
Estral: Arcas!!
Arcas: Wha!? Estral get away quickly!!
Estral: Is Serine okay?
Arcas: She fainted… her parents were killed in front of her… but now is not the time!! Get away from here! At least hide!!
Following Arcas I hid immediately behind one of the houses as I peek around the corner to see what was happening… Arceno, his father battled with the demons with his twin edge sword. The demon general orders the demons to surround them, one of the demons tries to attack Arcas as his father stops the demon’s sword before it reaches him and slashes the demon on it’s neck as it separates from its body leaving a peculiar mist as the body and head disappears.
Demon General: Fool, leave the child here then I will spare your life.
Arceno: No… I won’t let you kill my son.
Demon General: Foolish man! I will kill the hero at all cost!
Arceno: Then you must kill me first before I let you kill my son! Even if I am dead I will try all I can to stop you!!
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Suddenly, one demon leaps as it grabs on Arceno’s back as it bites off some of his flesh… it seems he was already too injured to dodge as it seems that the Demons has managed to cut a wound onto his leg before I got here. He then struggles and uses a skill,
He rushes at the group of demons cuts of one of the demon’s arm as it shouts in pain before slashing at Arceno with its sword. He intercepts the sword as the other demons surrounds him to attack, he then uses another skill,
As the edges of his sword slams onto the ground, he uses
The demons laughed as they thought that nothing happened when suddenly… they were cleanly cut into two pieces… Arceno then rushes at them like a madman as he uses all skills in his arsenal killing demon after demon until… the only one left was the demon general and Arcas’ father, Arceno, breathing heavily as he points his sword at the demon general while he looks at him with disdain.
Arceno: Now you’re the only one left!
Arceno said as Arcas was looking at him with admiration as the Demon General grins.
Malga: Oho? Then for your hard work, I’ll let you hear my name… it is Malga of the Dark Bood Demons.
Arceno: I don’t care!
Arceno then dashes of towards Malga when suddenly… as if time slowed down or at least it was for us… the Demon General disappeared and reappeared behind Arceno and stabs his chest with his sword as Arceno shouts in pain.
Arceno: Arrggh!!
Arcas: Father!!
Estral: Uncle Arceno!
Malga: Hahaha!! Such weak humans.
Arcas: You!!! I’ll kill you!!!
Arcas said while his rage boils at an unprecedented level. His father then looks at him and smiled as his expression loosened as he started trembling while he reaches his hand towards his father.
Arcas: Father…
Arceno: My son… I’ll join your mother soon… please… be strong…
Arcas: No… nooo!!!
Arceno fiercely looks at Malga as his body started to glow… Malga twitched, sensing Arceno’s sudden burst of power as he tries to get away. Arceno then grabs him, preventing him to do so as he clenches his fist holding the sword and slashes at Malga while his sword has a shining aura around it. It then successfully cuts open Malga’s chest as Arceno falls down to the ground… what he used was a skill called
Malga: That lowly human! How dare he damage me!!?? No matter, I’ll just kill you then my work here is done.
Arcas: Guhh… Haaaaa!!!
Arcas then started to cry as he grabs his father’s sword and ran towards Malga, his body started to glow as a white aura permeated him, it was the skill Holy Light. As he reach Malga, he slashes at him as his sword was glistening with a star like sparkle, it was the skill Demon Slayer. Malga then blocks it with his hand nonchalantly as he kicks Arcas as Arcas convulses in pain. His consciousness slowly fades as Malga slowly approaches him.
Estral: (What do I do, what do I do!?)
I started to panic as I became frantic… my only friend… is in danger… someone like me… a cursed child is just useless… as I saw Malga raise his sword near Arcas my mind went blank… thats right, I am just a cursed child so I can at least risk my worthless life so that Arcas could escape. I ran towards Malga as he grins while his sword was above him. I grab uncle Arceno’s sword and headed towards Malga… then I heard a voice.
Do you really think you’re worthless? Nobody is worthless. Their worth lies in their beliefs, if so then what do you believe in?
Estral: I believe that I am worthless but if I can somehow save Arcas then I am worth millions!!
Then show me! The intensity of your belief, the power of your soul!
Estral: Raaahhh!!!!
As I ran towards Malga, my body became so light as if I was flying. An azure aura burst forth around me as I leapt towards Malga with astonishing speed. Malga, sensing my power tries to slash his sword towards me but it was too late… the sword I was holding penetrated his chest, in the area where uncle Arceno manage to cut open. I used more power as I force it in deeper as Malga screams in pain until Malga disappeared as his body became a black mist… he was killed… I then drop the sword I was holding as my consciousness left me.
