In a grand hall that's well decorated with golden statues and beautiful paintings there are two powerful beings discussing about the future. The one in a red attire covering his whole body is kneeling on the floor while the other is stationed in a grand chair, and in a deep purple robe with black lines forming what seems to be an image of an ancient beast. The creature has three pitch black horns and six long and powerful arms, and on each arm are four big and dangerous claws that could snap a mountain in two. Its deep blue eyes look like they could stare in a person's soul if someone looks at them for too long, while its pitch black wings are generating a dark mist that sucks away at the light in the room. The one sitting on the throne is staring intensely, with his eyes suddenly shifting to red, at the one who is kneeling, and making him shiver out of the cold gaze.
"Are you sure?"
"Y-yes my lord."
"Do we know how he looks like?"
"No my lord. The only thing we know is that it was someone in Zerfes.."
"Hmmm I see. Then we will have to wait and see if he qualifies..."
"B-but my lord, isn't it better to retrieve him now? And what about the angels? Who knows what they will do when they find out who he is.."
"No, he has to experience some hardships or else he is not qualified, and besides, if he cannot handle the small angelic race then he is nothing more than trash, and trash goes to the trash can."
"But my lord no one has been chosen for a couple of billions of years since the mighty Garz..."
"ENOUGH!!"
"M-my deepest apologies my lord."
"Now you will do as I say, and stay out of this until the time has come."
"Wery well my lord.."
"You are dismissed."
The one kneeling then stands up, bows once again and then leaves, and the being on the throne puts on an evil smile.. They can't use him if he's dead now can they?
"Xzaron!"
"Yes master.." says a shadow that suddenly materialized
"Go tell the angels that it is time to hold their part of the deal.." he says with a vicious smile.
And the shadow disappears.
the one on the throne mutters with a cold glint in his eyes.. "No one will take the throne away from me NO ONE, especially not some kid who just awoke.. He will wish he had never been born Hehehehe..."
Woah! so this is the magic academy huh. "umm excuse me. Sir? Can you tell me how to register to the academy?" I ask the old man to my right.
"Hmmm, you must not be from around here.. Well your in luck. The academy has an entrance exam once every three years, and the exam will begin after about a week from now. You're one lucky fellow you know that?"
"Yeeeah well sure why not... Anyway thanks a lot."
"Yeah no problem and good luck.. Well I don’t think you're lacking in that area." He said the last sentence while muttering.
"Oh wait I almost forgot!"
"What is it?" The old man turns around again to face me.
"Umm do you know how I could make money?"
"Of course, you can either find work in town or kill a magical beast, and take its magical core to sell it to the academy. They are always short on magical cores... oh and you can also sell the beast to some merchant, they are always looking for some materials to make weapons or clothes."
"All right. Thank you."
"Yeah see ya around." And with that he returns to what he was doing.
"Let's go hunt some magical beasts!!"… After a while, I'm walking in the woods right outside of Xzeria (the city I'm in right now) I see what I think are five rank 2 wolves attacking a rank 3 tiger. Magical beasts are distributed in ranks after how powerful they are. For example a wolf is about a rank 2 magical beast because of its quick speed and powerful legs. Wolves can always be stronger or weaker although the average for wolves is rank 2 but a rank 3 wolf is still weaker than a rank 3 tiger. After waiting for some time, the wolves finally win and I attack them with my new found power and speed. Of course they were weak after the battle and with my enhanced speed and strength it didn't take long before killing them, so I take their magical cores to get the money.
Haa, that’s good. A whole 6 magical cores. Well I still need something to hold them. Hmmm.. Oh I know I'll make a dimensional pocket like I saw a mage do once. Alright. Breath in, breath out... Imagine that you make a hole in space with the darkness.. And make the hole big enough to fit the items... alright lets test it. I take one of the cores and put them in the hole and close it. After waiting a little, I re-open the hole and there it is.. My magical core. Yesss okey now that that’s done, let's get to town.
After going to the magic academy and selling my cores I got a whole of 40 silver coins (8 silver for a rank 2 wolf and 20 silver for a rank 3 tiger). One gold coin is equal to 100 silver and 1 silver is equal to 10 copper. When I arrive outside after selling my cores the sun is just about to go down.
Well better find an inn then. After couple of minutes of walking around I see an inn with the name "the Blue Phoenix", and get myself in there. when I walk in I see plenty of people drinking, shouting and having fun while some are even dead drunk. After looking around a little I walk towards the receptarier to ask for a room for the night.
The girl at the receptarier is about twenty years old with golden hair and brown eyes. After a couple of breaths she looks my way..
"Welcome to the Blue Phoenix! one night with three meals included will be 5 silver coins please. "
"I'll be staying for a week." I say while taking 35 silver from my newly gotten money pouch.
"Well of course." She says with a big smile and giving me the keys to my room. "Mary!! Mary!"
"yes what is it." Answers a slender woman with long black hair and green eyes.
"Show our customer to his room."
"Yes of course. Follow me." She says to me.
After walking up the stairs and to a room that has the number 21 on it, she takes her leave, and I stay alone in my room. I walk a bit around the room before falling asleep on my bed.
