Prologue

A young man that looks to be in his 20s is chained from every limb. He had a muzzle on his face and all you could see were his eyes that showed a mocking look today like they do everyday. His body was one of a perfect predators, tall, lean not an ounce of body fat on him almost golden tan skin. He had the hair of a simmering flame and his eyes glowed as a sea of fire. He had two massive wings made of pure fire. He had a feeling something was different today the normal  little Demons were all gone and in their stead were huge lava titans on both sides of his little bird cage. The cage was suspended in a huge volcano by massive chains that had daemonic engravings in them, holding the cage in place. He noted the change in atmosphere wondering what could be going on. A little voice inside his head made him wonder if family is coming to visit. He shivered with that thought, he hated his family. They always trying to control him and make him conform to their own ideas, And that’s why I’m here in this wonderful five stars hotel surrounded by the kindest employeeslistening to my every beck and call... his mind frozen for a second seeing the person that put him in this position.

The man that walked in had dark brown hair almost black. He was in a full black business suit. He gave off an otherworldly vibe. He knew everything or at least he acted like he did. One look from him, and he’ll know every secret you have before you even know you have those secrets. Before the man in the overly restraining kung fu panda style prison cell says anything the warden says

“how are you holding up little brother...”

the warden raise his hands like he’s coming for a hug then he stopped 4 steps away from him

“....or should I call you Cyrus? since you don’t consider us family...”

he slowly lowered his hands, and he smiled like how you would treat a child that doesn’t know any better.

“Have you finally come around to fathers way of thinking?”

Cyrus growled

“NEVER!”

with the swiftness of someone that’s herd that same question a million times already. Lucifer said

“Are you sure Cyrus this is your last chance to join me?”

Then Cyrus acted like a person talking to a dog

“Listen Lucy I don’t want to do what you do, I don’t want to be your muscle.”

Lucifer smiled like he never heard his name being treated like a dog’s as he started to slowly shack his head back and forth.

“Oh little brother I’m not here to ask you about that you see you’ve lost that chance, and dad has some new work for you...”

after saying that Cyrus’s eyes narrowed which made Lucifer’s smile go even bigger.

“You see, we need you to get your hands dirty...”

Lucifer raised his hand in a fist

“...then we’ll let you go.”

He opened his hand all nonchalant like. Cyrus looked at Lucifer like how some people look at an idiot. Then he remembered who he’s talking to. trying to figure out his plan. He knew Lucifer was the best at tricking people with his plans. After what felt like hours of thinking Cyrus said through his teeth

“what do I have to do?”

Lucifer smirked as if he always knew his dumb little brother would say that, in hindsight he probably didn’t now Cyrus would say that.

“Oh it’s quite simple actually, all you have to do is bring me sinners on one planet.”

Cyrus felt like he had been hit with a frying pan. All of his preparation felt as if it was all thrown away.

“Are you being serious?”

Cyrus asked which made Lucifers face drop instantly, and he said In a cold tone

“I never joke about Business”

A long silence fell over the Cage Cyrus said

“Then I’ll do it”

Lucifers cold aura instantly warmed up after Cyrus said those words.

“Very well little brother you’ll finally be doing what you are made for.”

All of the chains that were holding Cyrus’s right arm in place burned away until there’s nothing left. Lucifer stretched out his left hand to Cyrus. lucifers pristine hand turned to a hand covered in demonic fire. Cyrus raised his newly freed hand to lucifers. Cyrus could’ve sworn he saw his big brother make the face of a man that just made the biggest sale of his life. Before Cyrus could say anything his older brother snapped his fingers Cyrus was in golfed by a pillar of flame. Lucifer turned around after his brother was sent away he had a the biggest savage grin on his face let’s see how you’ll deal with that place you little shit. The two Titans on bot sides of the cage looked at each other in pure fear, they knew what the face meant, and they didn’t want to see what would happen to the person on the other side facing that smile.

In a small City state there’s a boy working on a field. A small scrawny kid with pulling weeds from the land. This boy’s name was Beck he is 12. Beck is a glass half full kinda guy. No matter how bad it got he would always stay positively or at least he tried. He has short dirty blond hair and white skin and brown eyes. Beck grew up in the slums, but when he turned 11 he was found by the girl of  his dreams. She found Beck stealing from her little garden, but instead of calling the guards she gave him some berries that were ripe. The husbands name is Ulven. Ulven is a cold the man if you’ve never seen him talk you would assume he’s a statue. He’s a very large man with arms the size of most people‘s thighs. Beck assumed that he was the master of the house, but in actuality the wife was. Ulven’s face has a massive beard but a bald head. On his left palm he has a gladiator branded, the gladiator brand is a symbol of one who is or has been a slave fighter for the arena. The symbol is a gladiator helmet with an arrow in the eye. The wife’s name is Isabell she is the sweetest woman on this planet and Beck truly believes that. Isabella is 5’7 feet tall light brown skin and has long dark brown braided hair. Beck has herd so many stories about how much she’s helped people.

One of beck’s favorites is when she saw her future love Ulven. The story goes as Isabell was about to become 17 so she got 100 gold coins from her parents as an early present. Isabella wanted to help some orphanages she sponsors, but she didn’t believe she had enough money. With the excuse of going out to hang out with her girlfriend Amelia, and Ruby. Amelia was a Daughter of a duke. She had a long purple dress on and always was wearing lots of jewels. Ruby’s family was a branch family for a massive family. She had long wavy red hair and a constant smile on her face. Isabella went to the Coliseum with two of her best friends to make some money and have some fun. What her two girlfriends didn’t know that Isabella is a great gambler. After winning some and losing some to not raise suspicion she had around 578 gold coins. Then the slave fights started. Isabella wasn’t very interested in the slave fights they didn’t make as much money, and they remained her how far most people will fall. She was going to go back to the big money games but Ruby wanted to watch so Isabella and Amelia had to follow her since she had the most powerful family background. Since the fights were low stakes the three girls could get the nicest booth in the area. They sat having the best sets and view. After the warmup rounds they finally got to one on one combat. The announcer for this game walked out into the arena. The three girls looked at each other fore this is rare sightabout. The announcer was a small chubby man who looked to be in his early 40s he had a big tragedy mask on. His voice boomed over the unruly crowd screaming for the match to restart. The announcer said

“I am so so sorry my fine viewers but there seems to be a new unruly fighter”

The crowd went silent over the mans overwhelming voice and the rare news. Isabella never herd of a slave that could make the announcer come out. She turned to Amelia and asked.

”what does this mean Amelia?”

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Amelia had a shadow of a frown on her face. Without even looking at Isabella she stood up making sure everyone in the Colosseum and arena could see her, she raise her arm 90° in the air making a perfect right angle. The Announcer was about to continue speaking, but after seeing the person in the most expensive booth stand he immediately shut his mouth and addressed the woman in the booth.

“How my I assist Melady?”

He tried to sound as respectful as possible after saying those words he bowed. Amelia raised her voice and spoke with perfect eloquence.

“What is the meaning of this? Do you not understand that I’m celebrating one of my two best friend’s party.”

The announcer stuttered a little.

“I’m so sorry Melady sounding as apologetic as possible.”

Amelia did not care what he would say.

“I do not care for your apology. what is the problem?”

The announcer instantly replied.

“We can’t control him”

Amelia smiled

“Then why don’t you give him a challenge”

The announcer asked in a inquisitive voice

“what does milady have in mind?”

Amelia answered instantly

“Put him out on the arena first and see how long he’ll last”

The whole entire crowd went to an of cheering. With that kind of response the announcer had no choice but to listen to her.

“very well Melady we will need some time to prepare.”

The crowd bood the announcer for making them wait. Amelia answers the announcer with a command.

“No, you will bring the fighter up now, with no break from the fun.”

The whole entire crowd got even louder in excitement announcer answered with some hesitation

“Yes ma’am”

The announcer got back into character is the overdramatic announcer. He threw up his arms and fell on his knees. He screams with a sound only a dying man with me. yells in a shaky voice.

“This thing is not human, I don’t know what it is.it can kill hundreds with just a step. destroy bridges with just a javelin. we can’t kill it, we can’t communicate, it we can’t even control it. it’s more than a monster its a monster with human skin...”

One of the Gates opened 4 soldiers walked out with a man in the middle. Isabella rolled her eyes mentally a monster in human skin that’s practically everyone here. The man in the middle had Trident that would make a triangle in the body of the opponent. He looked around assessing the area, and his eyes fell on the opposite gate. The announcer continued to act like a maniac describing this monster, By the end it sounded like a monster from a story book.

“This brave soldier has valiantly volunteered to fight this Monster with all he has or die strain”

The Announcer took a pause like what this slave warrior meant anything to him. Then the announcer slowly walked to his stand on the opposite side of Isabella‘s booth. After 30 seconds of waiting he finally made it to his booth. the only one left in the arena was that one gladiator. all three of the girls knew The more the gladiators were liked the higher chance they had living. After the announcer made it to the booth he looked down at the one gladiator.

“my brave soldier will you vanquish this evil for us?”

The gladiator responded with extreme excitement.

“I will do anything for my homeland to protect my home to protect all of these great people!”

The announcer nodded his head and acceptance.

“Then vanquish this great monster.”

Isabella Watch to the gates open, and what she saw surprised her. Ruby must’ve seen Isabella‘s face. Ruby gave Isabella a questioning look.

“that’s a Norseman.”

Ruby just looked more confused. Isabell explain further

“norseman are tribesmen from the north it said it’s super cold there and all the men look like him or bigger.

Ruby looks surprised

“how can anyone be bigger than him he’s a giant”

Isabella shrugged her shoulders to Ruby’s question. The giant Norseman was covered in cuts that bled all over him, but it looked like it didn’t affect him at all. He was carrying a lager hammer that looked small in his hands.The announcer looked at the giant and asked

“one question any final words?”

The giant Norseman scuffed

“My final words will not be Saturday”

The announcer must’ve been angry because immediately after the Giants said that he yelled at the gladiator.

“KILL HIM!!!”

The gladiator looked a little hesitant to charge that behemoth, but after a few seconds of waiting the gladiator finally charged. right after he started charging the giant looked at his hammer snapped the handle off. Threw it at the gladiator not even a second pass by with a huge bang comes from the arena. Everyone looks starstruck at the place where there used to be a gladiator. The people followed the blood trail behind where the gladiator used to be, and at the end of that blood trail was a bloody wall with a small hole in the Center of the abstract art. The crowd when you do an uproar.

“how is this possible...”

“I can’t believe it”

“There goes my money”

All of these were being said in the crowd and many more. Since there was no break after 39 rounds the entire arena was full of blood and Limbs. Giant in the center of the ring was covered in blood of his enemies. Isabella realized the man in the ring knew who set this up for him and looked at Amalia with the intention to kill her. She must’ve realized this. For the first time in her life she felt like her life is in danger. She stood up and told the announcer.

“I believe that will be enough entertainment for us”

Denounce it looks surprised, but also relieved.

“Giant go back to your cell.”

The giant looked at the announcer, and did not move. The announcer seems outraged that a slave would not listen to him.

“Giant go back to your cell.”

He said with more force this time. But the giant still did not move.

The announcer screamed

“ARCHERS”

30 archers came from the rooftops, drawing their arrows at the one giant in the Arena. Isabella saw the face on the giant he was willing to die, but not without a fight. For some reason in her gut she knew he could kill everyone in here for his own life. Isabella looked at her two friends and they noticed she was looking at both of them ask at the same time

“What is it?”

Isabella replied with a bright smile

“I know what are you guys should get me.”

Both of the girls were surprised when Isabella said this because she could want for anything and get it. Both of the girls looked at her with the notion to continue. She stood up and directly pointed down at the giant.

“Him”

The two girls were surprised but after a little it of convincing she finally got him and made him her bodyguard. She I learned that is name was Ulven. At first the Ulven was resistant to her, but after getting each other out of a few sticky situation they fell in love, but since they never could marry Isabella had to trick her parents into thinking she was Barron. when her parents learned of this they kept her in the family but she lost all of her titles and power they shipped her off to a small city state for her to live the rest of her life. There is only one thing she wants in this world and that’s to have a happy family with Ulven and her daughter Luna. Luna is the same age as beck she’s the one that found him in her garden. Beck had a massive crush on her to bad for him because she doesn’t feel the same way. Luna is a cute little girl that’s to smart for her own good. Some people would consider her a like Devil if she wasn’t so cute and clever. She has tan skin and dark hair with purple eyes.

Beck lives with the family as a servant for the house. Beck’s past starts with his mother’s death from giving birth to him after she died he was brought to an orphanage. This orphanage turned out to be a pickpocketing trend camp. The place is run by Mr. slim. Now Mr. slim was not in the right business. He was great with kids he just grew up on the wrong side of the streets. All he knows is stealing and that’s he can teach the kids. His first kid was named Luke. Luke was or slims first student/Son he was the oldest. He was 13 when Beck arrive. Luke was a big kid not just for his age but in general. he was in charge of everyone else. In the beginning of the orphanage Luke would look for kids that needed a home. Luke would not do the pickpocketing he would tell other people to go do it ,and if they ran into any trouble they would come get him. But when Beck arrived there were 87 kids in this orphanage and they all followed Luke or one of his “generals” he called them his 4 demon general. One of the kids asked him why are they called that. Luke would respond by saying he read it in a story book. Mr. slim could not be more proud that his boys turned his life’s work into a Business. After years of work and growing up with the boys everyone grew up especially Luke he had become a massive man. not as big as Lunas dad but he’s on a different Scale all together. Beck became one of the lieutenants for the 3rd demon general. The 3rd Generals name was Candy. Candy had just turned 16 when I was 8, and over night she got very attractive in all the right places. This made Luke and the other generals started treating her a lot better than they already did. Candy was considered the prettiest girl in the slums. Beck didn’t understand why all the older boys were so nice to her, but after a botched job on the wrong people Candy and some of the older girls got snatched. They ran to mr. slim and told him what happened. After the story Mr.slim had to tell all the kids why only the older girls got grabbed, and the thing mr.slim told the kids scared all of them in different ways. The groups like the older boys made a new goal to recognize who to not fuck with. The girls who were about to become apart of the older group were the most scared. They couldn’t imagine what would have happened to them if they’d been grabbed. After a week or two of getting back to Business Beck’s group found all the old girls in different alleyways almost unrecognizable. All except Candy, Beck did some investigation on what happened to her. Beck herd from one of the guys that’s an informant for the people that took the girl. That Candy became one of the girls in the big bosses harem. we brought them all back to the orphanage, but mr.slim told us they’ve been dead for a while. Everything changed after that Luke had to become a more and more like a boss of the group. Beck told Luke about Candy and how she became a part of a harem but look noticed that Luke was thinking about something else when he said harem. A year past and the orphanage grewexponentially over that time. Luke now had 329 people under his command. A few weeks after Beck told Luke about the harem Luke started to make one of his own. Luke was officially recognized as a small lord in the underworld. Sadly it didn’t last one of the stronger bosses didn’t like how strong Luke was getting in such a small amount of time. Beck Couldn’t sleep well so he decided to go for a midnight walk. He ended up at the tip of the river which goes through the city. Afew hours he decided to go back, but he returned place was burnt to the ground. Beck look for hours for any living person but only found some bones covered in charcoal. He kept looking until sunrise when the guards came out . They saw him in the place there used to be a house. They tried to arrest him to get some answers but Beck immediately fled. The guards gave Chase but beck has been running from them his hole life he knows where they won’t go. He ran farther into the slums,but for some reason they kept chasing him. He is the only thing he knew keep running. He ran into the farm land because there’s nowhere else to go. He needed to find Candy. He ran to the HQ for the slave traders. The guards must have gotten sick of all the running because they were no where. There was a large iron door in front of Beck. He took a big breath to build up some courage them banged on the door. An eye slit opened up and a man’s voice came out from the hole.

“Who’s there?”

The man’s eyes looked back-and-forth several times before realizing the person that bang on the door was a small boy. A burst of laughter came from the door after seeing how small this kid was.

“What do you want lad? Seeing your out fit you’re not here to buy anything.”

Back try to look as intimidating as possible but he knew it wasn’t working.

“i’m here to see someone”

The voice sounded like he was about to laugh

“And know are you here to see?”

Beck looked right in the eyes for the man

“I’m here to see Candy she’s the only family she have left.”

The eyes went wide. Beck probably would have laughed if the circumstances were different.

“you’re here to see one of the bosses girls? you got some pretty big balls lad.”

Beck’s Face went red and started to stutter

“It’s-it’s not like that I need to tell her some very important news”

seeing the boy was still the man said two word.

“tell me the messages and I’ll give it to her”

Beck felt reluctant to give a stranger his final words to a stranger. Then he got an idea only she would understand.

“reporting to the 3rd general, you are the last one that still gives breath on this World”

Beck started tearing up

“Second Lieutenant Reporting for the last time”

Beck turned around without even looking at the man and slowly walked away.

Beck left the slums and ran out of the city. After running for what felt like hours he collapsed in the fields. He woke up the next day starving and cold just searching for food because he knew he could never go back home it was gone. His family was gone everything was gone. He was to hungry to cry or morn his family. He saw I big House in the middle of nowhere. His only thought was please let there be food there. He saw a garden full of berries. That’s where beck met his angel, and found a new home.... for now.
