A man with long flowing blue hair that looked like flames armed in pitch black armor colored by crimson blood with rune circles in the middle and blue energy coming out of it was walking slowly towards thousands of people armed with mighty weapons and high classed armor yet showed no fear on his face instead looking forward at the one who stood out the most the woman with short crimson hair and emerald eyes, the longer he looked at her the more regret that showed up in his eyes yet he sent it all away and drew his greatsword enchanted by lighting from The Dragons themselves that had served him in his many life and death battles that he had faced during his life.
This man's name was Jett Tyndall the world he was born in was called Aesoth many different races walked the continent from beast to man, but the most powerful races were The Humans they have the most numbers and also have the second largest amount of territory among the many races yet only weakness were that they were inferior compared to the other races by themselves therefore needed to form parties with each other to pose a real threat, formerly enslaved by The Gods yet regained their freedom with the help of a loner demigod called Ravindra displeased at serving The Gods any longer due to their tyrant acts, in which he blessed humans with the ability to control fire and changing the most powerful of them into demigods with the ability to control sunlight like himself resulting with the rebellion called The Birth of Flame rising up against the gods with their larger numbers driving them back to The Void a plane devoted of all life.
The second strongest race was The Sun Elves Beautiful, kind, and yet prideful beings who live forever if not killed they kept to themselves unless provoked preferring not to take any life yet when push came to shove were one of the worse opponents to have to face due to their close friendship with nature that surrounded all the kingdoms expect The Horde Kingdom aided by their talent in wind and water magic they were a powerful force if met in battle, the first Elf was seen shortly after The Gods were driven out of the mortal realm many scholars suspected that they were the spawn of a union between a nymphs and a god due to their close ties to nature and abnormal water talent but the only thing denying that were The Elves didn't worship the banished gods but instead a very ancient and powerful elf who's body looked like he was human yet his facial features resembled that of an elf.
The Third Strongest Race were The Dwarfs they were short and not very fast in the speed department, but in terms of close range combat strength they were one of the best if not the best with their powerful bodies that was like hitting iron and if trained further steel aided by a layer of armor they were war machines meant for battle with their axes and warhammers in hand, the dwarfs were on the continent of Aesoth long before even the elves and humans yet were not noticed by The Gods due to mostly staying underground in their caves much preferring not to stick their noses in the arts of magic or politics, yet with their amazing crafted weapons and defensive walls it was not long before they signed an alliance with the humans agreeing to sell their crafts in return for special materials only found on ground.
The Fourth Strongest Race were the Sirens they were beautiful maidens of the sea protected by their guardians called the Sea Serpents descendants of dragons armed with powerful blasts of water that would rip to shreds any ships attempting to conquer the sea like paper, not much information is known about the Sirens and their guardians called the Sea Serpents expect that they work much like a monarchy where a queen is chosen to rule the Sea once every seventy years they're put through a test in which they have to receive the blessing of a Sea Serpent Clan leader who would become their fiance upon succession if more than one person receives a blessing then the two are to meet in battle with their Sea Serpent Guardian at their side the winner receives the seat of Queen.
The fifth and weakest race was The Horde many different races who weren't as friendly and civilized as the other races banded together in one continent in which the Emperor seat changes hands often due to the horde members being territorial and only viewing strength as the ability to rule therefore most rulers generally only last 10 years if lucky 20, the horde is made up out of many races but the most noticeable are The Orcs, Goblins, Demons, Kitsune, The Black Eyed People who resemble humans but aren't quite.... and the race currently in control of the Horde continent The Dark Elves originally Sun Elves who went against their nature of not getting involved in conflicts unless attacked first were cursed by nature banished to The Horde Continent in which they wouldn't be attacked on sight by all of nature and her followers and their allies.
In this Continent in which strength would grant you respect, loyalty, fame, and wealth Jett was only the son of a mere farmer helping his parents make gold for their meals and his little sisters future yet his destiny was changed when he came across a small bean that he though contained food like all beans that he bought back home from the farm others would call this boy crazy yet he had no education to speak of since his birth how would he know what a treasure he found.
(Example of the Egg http://i.imgur.com/ZYgawIV.jpg)
When he ate the bean due to feeling a bit hungry after giving his share of food to his little sister, he felt his entire body jump it was as though he was shocked by lighting immediately he passed out, when he awoke his former blonde hair turned blue and grew longer he was able to feel a strange sensation in his body whenever he released it powerful thunder would shoot out, this was something new to him for a boy at the age of 12 this scared him yet intrigued him a bit when he was much younger he dreamed of being a hero like the ones told of in books saving princesses and slaying Demon Lords.
It wasn't into he grew much older and wiser did he learn that the bean he ate was the youngling belonging to an ancient dragon after eating the bean he gained a bond with it's mother making it mistake him for it's new born after being trained by the dragon for five years during which the dragon attempted to make him fly by throwing him off a cliff in which he barley survived due to this he became a living monster from this training and was able to gain a high rank in the human kingdom providing good education for his little sister and giving his parents some rest from taking care of him and her for so long.
This was also at the time when The Demon God came back to the continent of Aesoth with a few of his fellow gods seeking to reclaim the land for themselves, after a hard fought battle Jett with the rest of his party came face to face with the Demon God.
(Jett POV)
“Demon God your kind isn't welcomed here, we humans have long ago calmed freedom for ourselves we no longer need you to hold our hands mankind will evolve on their own we refuse to be trapped within your chains.”
The Demon god only coldly snorted and shot out with his weapon in hand looking like a reaper of death

I quickly parried it and countered with a move of my own that took me countless months of training my body shivered as blue aura surrounded me when I felt that it was at it's maximum I thrusted forward my blade near the neck of the Demon God, it managed to hit but when the Demon God Noticed he was leaking blood it was too late as his head was removed from his neck, yet something didn't seem right
I saw my daughter with my trademark blue hair and her mothers emerald eyes having trouble with the Demon Gods's Ally I quckly ran towards her intending to get her free out of that choke hold.
“Angela!” my childhood friend who grew up with me in my village Alan had his longsword back in his hand, but I doubted that he would be able to get the job done in time so I had no choice but to expend more thunder magic then I would prefer to kill that Demon God, there was no way in hell I would let my daughter die here depressing her mother with saddness.
“Stand back,” I told him, and formed a three-foot force mythical blade covered with red lighting magic extending
from my fingertip infused with blood. I hacked the Demon apart with a few quick strokes, and Angela tore herself free.
But by then Alan was struggling with a vile clump of poisonous vines that
dropped from the tree over his head due to the Demon God's second in command special skill
I cut him free too and we ran.
From there every step was a battle with one of the Demon God's lackeys there were more than I was expecting but I was able to make quick work of them and turned back around to the Demon god's second in command to finish the job.
As I bought forward my great sword infused with thunder magic enchanted by my blood I quickly threw it towards his head, he was able to backstep it a bit but I was able to make a spin and grabbed my sword midair slashing it downwards managing to slice off his head.
The Demon God's army wouldn't die this easily without even putting up a fight, I hadn't even needed to use my strongest technique, that's when I realized...
'Shit!'
When I awoke from the illusion everyone was looking at me as though I was some kind of mad man below me were my comrades that I traveled together with during my adventuring days it felt like it was just yesterday that we all agreed on our party name and sough off to face The Demon God yet here I was instead of killing The Demon God I had my friends and even...my daughters blood on my hands, when I regained my senses I could hear people shouting curses at me across the room.
“Jett what happened to you! I looked up to you as my hero yet you killed everyone and let The Demon God escape...”
I couldn't help but to lower my head when I looked at that blonde haired youth who reminded me of myself expect he was a half elf youth, turning towards the short dwarf old man with his nails in his hands dropping blood broke my heart when I heard the words from his mouth.
“Jett...I thought you were the chosen one who was supposed to kill The Demon God and his army not join him but..even if we were old friends I won't allow you to leave this place alive, everyone attack this fiend even if we all die let's take him down with us!”
Hearing those words I only blocked out their faces and got back into the role of a merciless mercenary I was no hero, I was only a work for hire I won't allow myself to feel a thing even if I have to kill everyone here I'll seek revenge against that damned Demon God.
When I saw the old man try to stab me with his black hook in his missing hand socket I couldn't help but to chuckle as I remember when he lost it due to not cleaning off the wound on his hand when told to what would happen he of course just said that nature will heal it in time.
As I backstepped him and gave him a clean sweep with my foot to his head I dodged passed the horribly trained elf boy and made myself towards the exit only I didn't expect her to block my path...that's right my wife the mother of my own child, the others I could kill with the excuse of doing this all for the revenge of my companions yet her I was unable to do a thing to her, I did how would I face our daughter in the afterlife.
“Sakurai get out of my way....I'm going to revenge our daughter.”
She only coldly looked at me and said.
“Jett I won't be fooled I watched you for many years and saw you kill friends without blinking an eye when they become a hindrance or enemy to you in your hunger for fame and wealth.”
I couldn't help but to think back to my life, when I first started out I was just a farmers boy dreaming to become a hero yet I didn't have what all heroes had and that was honor...yes I was honorless merciless a cold blooded killer if so I'll continue with this role given to me I'll abandon the path of a hero and proceed down this dark road.
“Sakurai for the sake of our daughter I'm asking you to step out of my way if not then I'll have to do something that I'll regret.”
Something looked like it broke inside her as he eyes became empty as she took out a scroll and chanted words in some foreign tongue, only one thing came our that I understood and that was.....
“Punish!!”
'Shit!'
A dark cage started to surround me I tried to slash it apart with my lighting yet it made no effect and I was slowly trapped in the cage losing consciousness, yes I remember now this scroll I found it in a dungeon that I conquered during my time as an adventurer I gave it to her in order for her to be able to protect herself never would I have expected for her to use it on me her own husband.
When I awoke I found myself locked in a dark room that smelled of piss, rotten flesh, and blood. Slowly a light started to reveal itself in front of me who were there was a man with long flowing black hair and violet eyes...who was he I remember his face yet I can't pinpoint it... next to him was a woman who looked like him expect her pupils were pure white they started to grab me and bought me outside of the room into the public with the sun getting into my eyes, I felt my beard rolling across the floor as I was sat upon the execution grounds in which I would be beheaded.
The devilish young man with violet pupils and the beautiful woman next to him were looking at me with smiles on their faces, without even speaking I could hear a few words from the devilish youth what he said shocked me I finally remembered his face as I tried to use my lighting I felt as though it was sealed shut not a tiny bit leaked out it seemed that my wife told them the weakness to my lighting and that was if the weather wasn't right I wouldn't be able to use my power to it's full potential, once every day in a month I would be close to powerless, but what he said to me was...
'Jett thank you.'
