Soul Clash: A Legend Arises
Prologue +Chapter 1: Descent.
One peaceful snowy night on earth, a young man was walking in the streets. When looking at him, you can feel the loneliness but at the same time you can also feel his ice cold rage.
The young man walked in the snowy streets, his jacket now have a small pile of snow, yet the young man doesn’t seemed to mind it.
In his face, a troubled and angry expression could be seen. And after a long time the young man howled in the sky and tears rolled onto his face. He knelt on the ground and continued his howling and crying. Until… a bright white light came rushing infront of him, he can’t move his body like it is tied by a rope. He lifted his head then looked at the sky and he stared at the slowly falling snow.
“Am I going to die?” He softly murmured to himself as he closed his eyes and then…
*CRASH!!!!*
.....------........--------.......-------.......------
However on the world called Elex, where battle and adventure existed, where only the rule of the jungle reigns and more importantly where the soul is cultivated to become strong to do things that defy the laws of the world.
On one peaceful night, the stars glittering with light that makes one’s soul calm. But this calmness was unusual.
“I feel something very wrong.”
On the top of the Imperial City of Litus Empire, an old man in golden clothes stood and watched the night sky. Behind him was also an old man but in silver clothes, clearly he is inferior to the old man in golden clothes.
As they gaze at the night sky, the calmness was shattered by a terrifying blast in the sky, the sky ripped open and night became day from that blast. The Heavens and the land trembled, a ball of fire emerged from the sky and it quickly descended to the land. The moment the ball of fire collided to the ground, the impact only caused a muffled sound.
At the same time, the sky regained its former calmness. The dazzling stars in the sky once again emerged, glittering with light as if nothing happened.
The old man in golden clothes frowned then spoke loudly as he pointed at the location in which the ball of fire landed, “Something has descended from the borders of our Litus Empire. Quickly investigate it for me.”
“Yes Your Highness.” The old man behind him spoke respectfully then turned his body and left.
As soon as the old man in silver clothes left, the old man in golden clothes spoke and disbelief in his eyes, “Impossible! That was only in the legends, why would a Divine Soul descend to the mortal realm.”

However in the location where the ball of fire landed, two hooded figure could be seen running fast towards the place where the fire landed. When they arrived at the location, the two hooded figures saw a silver cloth wrapped around a child in the center of a small crater. The surroundings of the crater was burnt to ash.
One of the hooded figure carefully walked to the child, but as soon as the child saw the hooded figure, the child produced a loud cry. Not hesitating, the other hooded figure quickly removed her hood and there a beautiful woman emerged under that hood. Her beautiful face was very enchanting under the night sky. The woman picked up the infant and calmed it down, after the infant stopped crying the other hooded figure spoke.
“What do you think you are doing?!” (???)
“What? It is just a child. What are you afraid of?” (???)
“Alice, you did see that it came from that ball of fire in the sky. Why are you carelessly holding that?!” (???)
“Don’t say THAT! Say HIM, this child is a boy and it is going to be my child. I will name him Lucas.” (Alice)
“Wha-?! Oh just forget it, you already named it so what can I do?. Let us leave quickly before other people will go here and investigate.” (???)
Alice nodded towards the other hooded figure and looked again at the child, there she saw a silver necklace with a black ring on the neck of the child. On the ring, there are words engraved into it.
“Helios.” Alice murmured as she looked at the child calmly.
“Hey Alice, let us now go.” The hooded figure removed his hood and you can see that he was a man not more than 30 yrs old with a worried face but still can’t hide his handsomeness and he exuded an aura of gentleness and power.

“Yes Drake. Let us now go before Saints from the Imperial City comes.” Alice said then put on her hood and ran fast leaving the place in a few breaths.
“Ai, this girl prayed to the heavens to have a child and now the heavens gifted her one. I don’t know if I should be laughing or crying as her husband.” Drake sighed then he ran also catching up to Alice and together they leave the place.

Time passed. Six years elapsed with a blink and although many still remembered what happened that year, no one has ever found out what has descended from that ball of fire. All they knew was that after they went to the location where the ball of fire landed, they only saw a small crater and nothing else. People thought that after it collided to the land, the ball of fire was extinguished and anything within it was destroyed, leaving only a small crater and nothing else.
Within the borders of the Litus empire. There was a city called Alektus. It is a fairly large city and it can be considered an average city in the Litus Empire. Like any other city, Alektus was bustling with people from day break to dawn.
In the center of the city, there stood a state where the lord of the city and his family resides. In the garden of the state, there is a boy seated in meditative position, his eyes closed. His hair has a golden-blue color, his skin was white as snow. His face can be called handsome and you can feel that he radiated an aura of gentleness. He is Lucas Arsus.
Lucas suddenly opened his blue eyes and gripped the black ring on his neck, “Yes! I broke through! I am now a 1 star Practitioner!”. He said happily but when he was about to stand up, Lucas suddenly felt very intense pain coming from his mind like many information is being transferred in one go.
He clutched his head then he opened again his eyes and in his right eye, the previously blue eye in it turned into gold and a strange mark is formed then it faded quickly and its color returned to normal.
He sat there utterly stupefied! He felt in his mind that he has two memories, the memories from Earth and the memories here on Elex. He still remember the moment he cried and howled in the sky on Earth. He can still remember that there is a bright light infront of him but when he closed his eyes and then opened them again, he is here on Elex!
He clearly remembered his childhood here on Elex. He also remember that this is the City of Alektus, one of the many cities of Litus Empire. And he was the son of the city lord of Alektus called Drake Arsus and he was named Lucas Arsus!
‘I am Lucas Arsus yet I am also Lucas of the Planet Earth. So it means to say that I really did die in Earth and then I was reincarnated here in Elex with the Identity of Lucas Arsus?’ He said but he was still confused.
“What the hell did just happened to me?!” Lucas shouted in the sky but after that, he once again closed his eyes and seated in meditative position. He thoroughly analyzed what happened in his past life and the present one.
After an hour of silently analyzing, he came into conclusion that he really did die on Earth and he is reincarnated here on Elex as Lucas Arsus.
“Right! I am Lucas Arsus!. And the Lucas from Earth was already dead. I want to forget my experiences and my miserable life on Earth and in this life, I will live it to the fullest!” Lucas said to himself as he stared at the blue sky.
At that moment, there was no more Lucas of Earth only Lucas Arsus. And here on Elex, he will use this second life of his to make his very own Legend that he never have done on Earth.
But after Lucas spoke those words, the sky and land began to shake and the world began to grow darker. Lightning could be seen scttered everywhere, striking buildings and many civilians.
Lucas face paled from the scenes he is witnessing, "W-What is happening?!"
And then the scattered lightnings began to converged above the state. They formed into multiple flaming gold spheres. They began to swirl above the dark sky then it quickly descended to strike at Lucas.
Lucas saw the spheres falling unto him, "Am I going to die again?!" Lucas roared as the flaming spheres stroked him mercilessly.
*Bang!!!*

This is the Remake of Soul Clash because I noticed that there is something is very wrong in the story so I decided to Re-write it to avoid confusions.
