(Capital of Azarat Kingdom)

Peaceful night passes slowly in the city, residing resided by human population everyone here under the reign of king try to pass days. But everywhere there is a little evil in their hearts, so stealing is either here. Even though this isn't important. In the capital humans pray and favour the Goddess of Light, Temina. She blesses her belivers and often they send army for groups of human whose are against their rules. Described by those who probably seen her descent on the land as a the most beautiful lady. Wearing white dress, golden hair and beauty which topple the heavens surronded by divine presence forcing everyone to kneel and favour her.

In the church at the capital where is a head of Church of Light, there is a statue of goddess which shows beautiful woman figure and is well known from giving prophecies or warnings from goddess herself. Sudden bright light appeared around the statue and a white, small pergamin flowing down to the piedestal of the beautiful sculpture. This event alarmed a few priest which duty was tonight. One of them quickly nears to the statue and grabbing the pergamin quickly started to run to the head priest.

The sound of slamming on the doors woke up the Head Priest of Light, Landar. He has years of experience being the Head Priest. Countless years of crusades and monotonous days. He started working as a Priest in a small village on the board of Azarat Kingdom. He wasn't even average on this position but joy filled him as he gathered even one more believer. He prayed and one day he got blessed by the goddess for his devoution. There was the time when the knowledge about a Holy Magic poured to his not so silly brain. Holy Magic is a branch of magic which uses a light element and a tiny part of divine power from the patron. So available spells like Heal, Cure or offensive ones are stronger many times. New part of live was beginning for him. After some time being normal priest with blessing he got noticed by church's authorities. One year after getting blessing there was information about a struggle on the boards of kingdom with demons. Enrolled to the Sanctuary to become Templar he said goodbye to his peaceful life. But as a firm believer he didn't despair but affirmed himself that is a test from the goddess and if he can overcome it everything will be alright. After years of slaughter demons, beastman, heretics he become the head of church.

He wiped his eyes with hands.

[Who try to disturb my sleep?] (Landar)

From behind a door there is heard gasping for air.

[Excellency, there is a urgent situation] (Priest)

The face of Landar became serious, he quickly took his priest clothes to wear on and slowly opened door with his old hand. The priest holding the message gave it to the Landar. Fast looking at the text he stiffed as something troublesome happens.

[Haha, we have a mission from our goddess send a message to Captain of Templars to come to me]

[As you command, your excelency] (Priest)

Bowing the priest went looking for a person. Meanwhile Landar slowly is walking to the audiency room which is designed as a throne room to magnificently describe might and grace of Church of Light. Sitting on his throne he was lost in thought about what was going on with this message. But grin was on his face because he will do something for the glory of Goddess of Light. Even though he was old, he tried to finish work efficiently. After a while there were heard toned firm steps at the hall leading to the room. Within a passing moments they were louder and louder in the silence of night. A man in the white armor with a symbol of Light on the chest, around 30 years old with brown hair and refined looks admired by many girls around the kingdom. As a noble of high standing he was trained to become big character, now as Captain he has reputation and arogance. His body was refined by constant training to hunt targets assigned to his team of templars.

Coming to the room he going before the throne and bowed.

[Lord, Captain of Templars Taur at your service] (Taur)

[Captain Taur, I've got a message from our benevolent goddess that there is a disturbance on the North from our kingdom. Gather information about it, look for clues and eliminate if dangerous to our kingdom, will light lead you] (Head Priest)

[As you wish, my Lord] (Taur)

Bowing again and heading out he started to execute duties. Without anyone knowing he smirked on the thought that more heretics will be sowed under his blade. Typical psycho.  

But Landar know about it and he let it. If he is doing job done well, Landar won't prosecute as the deeds are for glory of Church. A long sigh escaped his mouth slowly walking to his bedroom, thinking about psycho and something ominious which was described on the message...

---------------------------------------------------

Unbeknownst to source, the evolution created wave of anxiety in the sensitive god beings and top entities watching the surface of world. Sending followers to uncover the veil of raging power, as a precausion for impending distaster. His body was was wraped in chaotic black particles ripping the matter from the flesh. The clouds in the forest started to appear and turning the shiny day in a black night. The source of disaster started to condense and a new lizard-like creature jumped out from the cloud. The strange thing is the hole in the chest where supposed to be a heart. The scales of the lizard wasn't reflecting a light but devour just like an intent of a being. It's size wasn't big just about a size of big wolf. Sudden howl resounded in the forest and every living monster felt deep fear in their soul. It was a shriek of hunger and thirst for souls. The eyes didn't hold intelligence only bloodrage, as mindless a creature was the body was breaking and repairing constantly causing unimaginable pain. The hunt is only the beginning to ease the pain.

Opening the eyes he saw a house. A couple with little kids lived here. Jeremy wanted to say something but opening his mouth nothing happened as if he lost ability. He couldn't touch anything because his body went through objects like air. Time run and days gone, people lived simple life plowing the fields and feeding animals. There wasn't anything wrong. But one day a couple started to argue. At first only verbal exchanges, cursing. But the man took a kitchen knife and plunged it at his partner, realizing what he had done he got mad at himself and killed without mercy everyone in the house and burned it while laying near the woman he killed burning together in fire bleeding. Jeremy wasn't immune yet to carnage of blood cause him almost to vomit. As he now think, he was so wrong to be instantly killer. Maybe it was shown to him to realize this main issue. Even if you can kill, weak mind will snap like a thin branch and rampage to death. As far as he lived till now it was peaceful, world wasn't at wars as modern technology could satisfy bloodshed with realistic virtual reality games. But the true cruelity of new world is different. Kill to not be killed, crush to survive.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Looking at the burning house the determination burned in him that he didn't realized on changing scenery. As appeared to be battlefield. Corpses everywhere, blood flow rivers and he has a rusty sword in the hand. The worst is some of them are running in his direction. He doesn't know what to do, where is that determination to survive, where is my courage. Does brain always is this shitty? Always where danger is happening your brain can't do shit removing control of your body. I need to kill them to prove my brain isn't working properly. Beat a weak brain and forge proper mind. Take my sword and chop them. He started running to the enemy in front, warcry got out of his throat. Hacking on the enemy with rusty sword there was only will to kill and survive. Surrounded by troops equiped with full armor and shield. They didn't attacked him all at once. From the encirclment only one person got out. From the equipment it was much poorer quality than majority from the group. That's right he was the weakest. Running to Jeremy and attacking with the sword Jeremy try to dodge. But inexperienced like he is the tip of the sword rip through the skin of the left leg and started bleeding. Pain got to the brain and realizing dodging in his state is bad he started to hit with sword himself. It was very bad move but it hit the target. The clash of metal got to everyone ears, but no damage to the enemy as sword hit the shield. The enemy was trained and without presure blocked a hit. He resumed his rampage and slowly putting more presure on the enemy. After a while he didn't feel exhausted but more and more swiftly making move with sword. The soldier was trying hard to defend as now hits were more savage. At last blood spilled because hit destroyed shabby shield and mutilated soldier's arm. Jeremy smelled blood in the air, it wasn't pleasant but he need to steel the heart and destroy the soldier. Running to disoriented enemy he waved a sword at the neck. Soldier clumsly moved the sword to the path and blocked the first move. Jeremy started to learn from this fight and build firm character, he wasn't weak like before. Making two fast swings the head fell on the ground and blood spilled from the neck. The air got in his nose with a smell of blood giving him refreshing feel. Two soldiers started to run to him with weapons and fighting began again. This time he got to learn how to dodge with a cost of many wounds. Killing them the next came.

Learning more and more put him under the pressure as a result all of the soldiers came to attack him together. The blood flew endlessly, battered parts of body and warcries. One man stood in the middle of everything and laughed. He laughed because he survived. But soon he couldn't do anything as he fall as others and black fog covered everything. Opening eyes again in the black place, the message appered before him.

The host positively ended test of mind, you can choose a form of hollow transformation

The next thing appeared a window with my body. From my knowledge the most powerful creatures were dragons. They can fly, kill with fire and have full body armor with scales.

Thinking about dragon form, the image changed in small dragon with black scales all over the body, with black eyes but no wings. The most different thing was a mask on the head with strange patterns and teeth in the place of mouth. He tried to look under the mask and a dragon head was visible. Hmm, the form was badass as he imagined it to be, with a mask it's more scary than ever.

Even though it was great but weak. Weakness is a deadly flaw, to be badass you need to prove it.

Accepting this form the frame disappeared and he felt no strength, closing his eyes deep in the trance. Jeremy didn't know what to do. At first in the trance he felt hunger and rage like some kind of wolf hunting for a food after a long time of empty stomach. With time emotions extinguished and calm and peace he felt. He opened eyes and saw a corpse of a snake, it was like the snake which he saw on the beginning. But now he devoured his flesh as he could feel a meat in the mouth. His posture was low on the ground, like a form he chose. He wasn't in the same place, but he could feel the souls of monsters far away. Gulping a meat he focused on symbol in the end of his view and a lot of notifications appeared.

Now something was different with this form, like some part of me was filled. I wasn't insane or wanted to devour souls but his senses could feel few hundred meters around him any living beings. From this he learned that not far away was small village. Before he started to run there forgetting that he is not in the human form a new information appeared.
