Magic in this world is somewhat rare. Commoners even nobles don't have it and only a select few from both classes sometimes have it.

That is why magic is somewhat mysterious here to the point that people call it as a mysterious energy. Different kinds of magic has already been discovered like the light magic, dark magic, earth magic, water magic, fire magic, and wind magic. 

According to Francis even though those kinds of magic are already known sometimes  exotic types came into being from time to time.

Even those already known magic is not yet fully develop. For example not much is known about the function of light magic besides healing simple wounds and providing light. Much less is also known on the functions of dark magics, they just labeled it as "Dark Magic" on the sole reason that its the kind of magic that requires corpses of any kind.

Surprisingly Dark magicians are not hated and ostracized because for the community they are quite useful. For dark magicians can drive away pest of any kind in exchange for a sacrifice of a single livestock, the type of livestock affects the effectiveness of the darm magic so sometimes for the sake of effectiveness farmers sacrifice their cows for the protection.

But many years ago according to this worlds history. There was ones a man who was consumed by his own magic. According to the historical notes due to some unfortunate events that man was driven mad to the point of him destroying everything in his path.

In exchange for the lives of every dead animals and plants life force he raised the dead to wreck havoc on the living.

In order to prevent destruction. The various rulers agreed for a temporary peace and gathered every single magician and soldiers they have to prevent the undead from destroying the world.

Every single one of those involved in the fighting was having a hard time. And to pay for the sins of their brethren the dark magicians sacrificed their lives to invoke a great silencing magic that prevented the dead from rising again and let the souls of those affected pass on in the afterlife.

Because of the sacrifice of the dark magicians, their status as sinners were alleviated. The remaining charged to where the demonized magician and when they finally saw him they discovered that he was not the man he once was.

Souls of various creatures chained him from his throne. From time to time faces of man and animals surface on his skin. His eyes were replaced by an empty socket. Worms crawl on his face. Various arms and legs pertrude out from his body, legs of cows, arms of bears, fingers of man here and there. While his torso was now unidentifiable for you can see horses legs pertruding from his torso and any other creatures.

It was a nightmare according to the records the sight of the man who once was knew as the man of the people was now an abomination. Men of strength and valor did not last long and vomited in disgust on what they saw.

When the abomination saw them it stood up which led to the magicians on guard of its magic but to their surprise instead of bombarding them with magic it charged at them.

In a split second men were trampled to paste. To the horror of the soldiers thet found our that swords and arrows were ineffective. In a fit of bravery the soldiers decided to hold the beast at bay giving the magicians the chance to bombard it with magic.

Brave soldiers were trampled, torn apart and eaten by the abomination. Slowly everyone of them fell into despair. The damage of the magicians dealing were insignificant for the beast. For the army all hope is lost when suddenly inside the abomination a single dot of darkness came into being. Slowly it destroyed the beast by devouring it to the black void.

The men were surprised at the same time happy at the development and so with new found hope and courage they rose up for the final charge.

A battle of epic proportions happened then and there and with the help of the little black dot the abomination was slowly being pushed back. The sacrifices has been given. With the death of many soldiers and magicians they finally drove back the darkness.

In order to prevent the same calamity from occurring again the rulers decided to establish an independent faction free from the clutches of the kingdoms. And with that the Inquisition is born, free frm the influences of the kingdoms they roam the known world to hunt for the unclean and protect the people from the coming of second darkness.

In order to accomplish their goal they only accept people who are strong, zealous, and loyal to the cause. Magicians and soldiers are being accepted. Classes dont matter. Nobody give a damn if your a commoner or a noble as long as you do your job you will be respected.

And now those said men are being sent here to investigate me. What the hell am i going to do? No matter where i go I'll be hunted nonstop anyways so I decided to just wait for them and continue life as usual albeit fearful.

The next day came and it seems like the villagers does not know that the inquisition is coming and so i decided to at least enjoy the remaining peace i have.....

Leonardo Figeri POV

I am Leonardo Figeri the vice head of the Inquisition. And in order to prevent any accidents in this investigation I was dispatched by the head of our order.

All of this started when about a month ago we detected an extreme abnormalities in the energies near here. So all of the ruler we're called in a council to discuss on what action we need to do. And not surprising all of them unanimously voted that the inquisition with some soldiers of the various kingdom to set forth and investigate the matter immediately.

Ah i still remember the firsr darkness all those years ago. I was still a teenager during those times when I saw the horror. I hope that it wont happen again.

With great speed we with my contingent of inquisitors and expeditionary soldiers we finally arrived at the village dictated in our files.

With our arrival the residents were sent into panic immediately. It's not surprising though that they will act like that when they see this many soldiers and magicians even I will panic if i was a common citizen.

Looking around I discovered that everything is quite peaceful here to the point that I doubt that some energy abnormality happened here but i must not be complacent lest i will suffer later.

I ordered everyone in the contingent to just encircle the village so that the villagers be put at ease.

A man came to me and it seems like he's the village head. He inquired me on the reasons of my visit and for the sake of confidentiality I just told him that we came here tp hunt a certain bandit, and so I ask him if there's any stranger who just recently came here. Surprise he told me that there is a single man who just arrived a month ago and settled here,

His information quite fit my bill and without even continuing to listen to the mans blabber i asked him to lead me where the stranger is right now.

With him leading i arrived at the edge of the village and there I saw some children and adults surrounding a young lad with black hair. Before i can even approach I was suddenly stopped by a wonderful noice.
