Surrounded by darkness , I can feel myself getting pull into the ground , going down faster and faster .

Until I crashed into a red floor , suddenly getting my vision back , I could see in front of me , a man sitting on his throne made of bones , messy brown hair and a ducktail beard . Wearing a black steeled armor and holding a two point fork , watching me with his red eyes . Must be Hades .

Mark : " What..."

Hades : " The hell ? Mine of course ." Wide grin spreading of his face.

Hades : " Welcome to my humble domain , my chosen ." Spreading his arms wide ."I summoned you here today because I have a mission or a quest or whatever how you call it."

Mark : " Motherfucker , you set this up ! You killed me for that ? Couldn't you come in my dream or something like that, you bastard."

Hades : " I did some motherfucking but that a story for another time . I don't like to go into other people dream and meeting you when you're dead is way better and you better calm down, I have five other chosen, one less toy mean nothing to me. Hey I'm trying to help you be grateful ."

Damn it, I feel like I'm his bitch.

Mark : *sigh* "Okay , what do I have to do ?"

Hades : "That's the spirit ! Your mission is to kill James Crawford."

Mark : " Wait , What ? Why would I do that ?

Hades : " Let's just say it's for your own good, and you will be greatly rewarded, so just do it."

Mark : "No way I'm going to do that !"

Hades :" We don't have much time left, they are starting to kill all the shadow . Time to sent you back , go and save some girl by the way. And for the mission Just do it boy, bye bye."

Mark : " WAIT ! I'm not done ! FUUUUUUUUU ."

Waking up, starting to regain my strength . Still thinking about what just happen , what did he mean for my own good? *sigh* Shouldn't think too much about it.

Walking where the battle sound come, after bypassing some bush, I saw somebody fighting , a pretty brunette to be more precise .

Hiding in my bush, I'm observing her fighting valiantly against a shadow, with a roman sword and roman like armor protecting her. I feel like I'm stalking her.

Dodging the warrior like shadow thrust and retaliate with her sword. I must say that she's doing well defending herself. Repeating the same process , she killed the shadow.

The brunette seem exhausted, maybe  she were fighting for awhile . Then five shadow surrounded her. I guess Hades lied to me when he says that the shadow were nearly all dead.

Still sitting in my bush , I was waiting for the right moment to strike and now she was cornered , like people say it's time to save the day baby.

Jumping out of my bush, I dashed to the closest shadow and slapped him with my empowered lightning ball palm. His head evaporated, the brunette seem shocked by my appearance.

I turned my attention to the other shadow, making sure that the girl was out of range , I used my `Static Field` to incapacitate them. I took the one at my left and punched him since I gripped to not let him go, I bombarded him of my punch until he evaporate.

Shooting lightning ball to the one next to him , giving him a lot hole in his dark body and ending up dying too. The three shadow realized that I was the biggest threat, trying to gangbang me .

With no success, I casted again `Static Field` and slapped each of them with my lightning ball.

Mark :" Phiew" Relieved that they were this weak. " Are you ok, miss ? "

I turned toward the girl, I must not show my excitement or she will think I'm a freak.

The brunette : "I'm alright, thanks to you. May I know the name of my savior please ?"

Mark : " Hum, yeah of course , I'm..."

Appearing out of nowhere, a group man approaching me but I could recognize one of them. It was Jim.

Jim : "Hey buddy, I'm glad that you're safe, James thought that you were dead."

Hugging me then dragged me away.

Jim : " I'm so happy to see you my friend, I have a lot of thing to tell you. "

Turning my head, I couldn't see the girl anymore . Probably joined her group.

Mark :" Yeah Jim, happy to see you too. And as you can see I'm fine."

Regrouping with the others, they were assembling the dead body. All of them were guards.

Ariel : " I want report of the battle now."

Guard : " We have lost 10 of our men and have a dozen injured. None of the heroes are dead or injured."

Ariel : " Damn it, we must get back  to the capital and report to the general now, so they can investigate this attack, how the demon were able to come here without us knowing."

We resumed our travel, I was with Jim and he was talking non-stop about his `exploit` in the dungeons and his life. What a pain, not like I'm interested by his life. I couldn't even ask the brunette name. Fuck my life.

[The Brunette P.O.V ]

We were traveling back to the castle when the demon attacked. I saw a guards running toward a demon, I followed him in hope to help. I was too late, he was already killed by three shadow.

The shadow noticed and rushed toward me , I readied myself. When they entered in my range I used `Thousand Thrust` they instantly evaporated.

Trying to go back to the group, I was ambushed by six shadow. Panicked I used `Tornado of Blade`, It's a tiring skill. One shadow, survived and tried to thrust me with his sword, with my high agility I dodged his sword and retaliated but I was tired.

So when I succeeded to kill , sighed of relieve before five other shadow surrounded me .

I was cornered and tired , I'm going to die. God please send somebody I don't want to die.

Then I saw a man jumping out of a bush, smiling , a exited one. Lightning are surrounding him , he slapped them and they all dropped like fly one by one.

He turned toward me , I could see him more clearly. He was a bit round , have black hair and eyes .

He will certainly have a handsome face if he lost a bit of weight.

Roundy guy : "Are you ok ? " he asked me with a face showing no emotion like a poker face.

Me : "I'm alright, thanks to you. May I know the name of my savior please ?"

Then a group of people were coming in our way , I could recognize some of my friend in it.

My savior was dragged away by what is seem his friend, and me by my companions. But I learned at least his first name, it was Mark.
