Prologue : Alone In The Dark

--- Lucius Thorn : Level 1 Guardian / Codename : None ---

Just this morning everything was fine and now i'm running away from monsters with my best friend all bloody hanging on my shoulder, in front of us are Death Forest, the place that flood with level 3 undead monsters while behind are a tribe of furious orge... *Sigh* i wonder how we got ourselves into this mess. Ah! That right! Lately orges have wandering near the city gate so the government put up a subjugate request, they said there is only "a few" of them, apparently "few" in their dictionary are a little over 30!

Suddenly Jason tug my shirt, he is a blonde hair crystal blue eyes handsome guy with the typical football player's body but right now that brilliant hair color of his are dyed red, his brown leather armor stain with blood and his left arm are nowhere to be found. He whisper in my ear.

"Leave me..." - Jason

My parents died when i was young so my father friend took me in, that is how me and Jason met. We grew together just like real brothers, he would beat up anyone that try to bully me while i help him with his homework. Hell! We're so close that some girls in our school even draw gay arts of us and he's telling me to leave him behind!? This bastard, my bulging veins feel like they are going to explode from rage. I glare at him but the guy still has that stupid smile on his face... This fucker.

"You *Cough* are reaching your limit right ?" - Jason 

I just ignore him and focus on running toward the forest, why you ask? Because according to the information i obtain 3 days ago orge and undead have a really bad relationship. I personally like the orge more than undead but right now the chance of us surviving the orge are basically 0% so i would rather choose the forest. We keep running like that for hours until finally i fall down on all four puking my guts out.

"Haha... You look terrible *Cough* brother..." - Jason

This bastard! I scream at him full volume...

"You're the one to talk! Bastard!" - Lucius

...And start breathing heavily again.

"I swear to god if you die here after all i have done for you then i'm going to drag your ass back even if it means i have to use [Death Art] of the necromancer so just shut up and..." - Lucius

"Behind you Lucius!!!" - Jason

I heard him scream but it was too late, the zombie charge at me with his blood-dripping mouth wide open, i roll over to the side barely dodging him. I guess the bastard used to be a clown, he look like something come out from a kid worst nightmare. Don't want him back on his feet i imediately draw my [Normal Steel Knife] and plunge the thing into his head. 1,2,3,4,5, when the adrenaline rush stop and i regain my senses his face is already just a disfigure pulp of blood, the stench of rotten meat attack my nostrils make me puke my guts out again. I wipe my mouth using my little handkerchief and walk over to Jason.

"Come on we need to go, the other must have heard us" - Lucius

"Fi *Cough* ne, grumpy *Cough* old man" - Jason

We continue to venture the forest until finally we stop at a cave's entrance, i go inside first to look for dangerous creature but the cave look pretty empty so i go back out and drag Jason inside. Rip my shirt to 2 i use the bigger piece trying to bandage Jason's wounds... This might sound heartless but it's up to him now, there is nothing more i can do for him in this situation. I then go out to collect some dry tree branchs to put up a small fire but when i came back...

"Jason? Bro! Come on now this is not time for jokes... Wake up damnit!!" - Lucius

I lay him down, put my hands on his chest and start pushing hard... I keep doing it for hours until the cruel reality that my best friend, my brother are no longer alive and i'm all by myself in this darkness hit me. 

"AaaRrRGGggGHHh!!!" - Lucius 

My loud voice resound inside the cave, twisted like some sort of monsters cry.
