Chapter 1&2: Hatred&Pain

Chapter 1&2: Hatred&Pain

Inside a chamber lighted by demonic flames were a wide range of creatures all bowing before one terrifying man his hair was dark gray with eyes that were red containing a blazing spirit within them that it could be compared to the flames of hell themselves.

“You're telling me that my youngest son died slayed by only mere men?!”

Seeing the king shouting in rage was no surprise to his vassals who had their heads low after all The Demon King cared for his third son the most due to the rare circumstances surrounding the boy unlike his other sons this boy wasn't fully demon he shared elven blood in his veins coming from his mother a concubine of The Demon King it must be noted that a hybrid with both demon and elven blood was a powerhouse who could host huge amounts of mana within their bodies yet had low defensive power inherited from the elven side therefore they were most suited to long range combat though their were setbacks to creating such a being as powerful as they might be it must be noted that it's rare for an elf to give birth successfully due to their long age they're highly infertile and mating with a demon no less is even rarer since all elven kind believe in The Sun God who had went to war with The Demon God Apollyon The Sun God had slayed The Demon God yet suffered a wound in the process as she entered a long sleep this conflict created a blood feud between The Demons and Sun Elves.

The only one who had permission to speak was the high priest in charge of training warlocks for the demon king's army she had long blue hair and violet eyes matching the man above her symbolizing that she carried king's blood within her reins those who had blue hair in the Apep Kingdom were related to it's founder Aehuxur Apep I one swing of his fist had demolished the human armies who could only hide in horror awaiting the day he passed away due to old age which resulted in the fear humans have against demons today after all if anyone was fed bedtime stories as a child about The Demon King eating you alive as a child you would be fearful of them as well.

“Cousin Belial was indeed slayed in human land but after further investigation we have found that one of the sun elves were involved in the attack we messaged the sun elves for an official response but have received none further more...”

In an instant The Demon King raised his hands to stop her from speaking.

“Hmph! Enough waiting the worms refuse to come out of hiding and give us an explanation therefore I'll take my demon hordes to them and towards anyone who doesn't like it send out a raven to the human and elven kingdoms I declare a war against both of them for murdering my third son let it be known to men and elven alike that I swear upon my name as Aehuxur Apep III that the human and elven kingdoms shall fall!”

The usually expressionless blue haired beauty had an expression of shock written across her face as she tried to speak.

“Highness please reconsider the humans have advanced since the last holy war we fought with them everyday they're creating new weapons armed with The Sun Elves Light magic we would be at a disadvantage!”

The Demon King only smiled in advance.

“Huh? I must have heard incorrectly are you saying that those dogs would dare bite back at their masters and win if so then you aren't fit to be in my presence be gone back to the temple and don't return unless I call you, I'll show you all the might of this demon lord!”

“Yes...”

Cheers could be heard as The Demons praised their lord elsewhere a beautiful blonde haired girl named Morgan Gilkes I had a dreadful expression on her face recently her father the former king died with out any male heirs expect his brother therefore she had ascended the throne causing a dispute with the local lords and the crown over her uncles claim now to add flames to the fire she received a message of war from The Feared Demon King over his third son's death in her lands the only important words were Surrender the ones who had ordered the death of my kin or die! Signed Aehuxur Apep III.

“You majesty are you all right? You don't look well...”

Talking to her was a handsome man with brown hair and green eyes another one of her suitors who seeks her hand in marriage yet he was the same as all the others putting on a heroic display yet in the end had his own greed and goals in mind unlike the others though she had to speak with him with no disrespect within her words since he was the son of Duke Edward one of her strongest supporters.

“I'm fine James it's only troublesome news that will spread sooner or later.”

Inside her mind she had all ready started to think of strategies to somehow end this war giving up a Territory or two like the human king did before when the demons would attack them was out of the question this time around and somehow defeating The Demon King was even less therefore she needed to gather the names of those who killed The Third Prince and give them up to The Demon King before he arrived within a year.

Luckily for her the trip from The Demon Kingdom to The Human Kingdom was a long one giving her plenty of time to resolve the conflicts at home and call on the help of The Sun Elves if needed yet their corporation wasn't guaranteed since on a less extreme degree they looked down on the Humans almost as much as The Demons yet not as openly though both Humans and Elves both shared a fear of The Demons gaining too much strength so they would ally against them in times like this sighing to herself she said in her mind this was her only choice as she called fourth her spymaster.

In the never falling sun island like land of The Sun Elves was a man with five different colored rings and a bright red necklace around his neck ordering around men with swords in hand he had a bit of a beard glowing around his chin resembling that of one of those Disney villains in the movies while his eyes were a cold piercing blue with hair that was a bright platinum blonde he wasn't ugly nor was he handsome but from his eyes you could see the greed and lust leaking out of them as he saw his man loot more and more treasure capturing children and women who would serve as either maids or bedslaves when he needed to relive boredom.

'Hehehe just my luck to overhear rumors of the sun elves sending their main fighting forces on a

pilgrim to Sunstone with them gone my men and I can loot, enslave, and rape as much as we desire!'

One of his strongest men who could lift 100 pounds slashed his way across the villagers as he grabbed more and more loot within his bag while the men behind him pounced on the beautiful women like wild beasts deep in his heart he was truly jealous yet his captain had promised him a night with the most beautiful woman on the ship if he had carried out his duties property this would have given any man the strength of over a hundred man with such a reward.

As he broke into the house of the village elder he had killed the man who put up a small resistance before he was slayed after which he took what little loot he had on him but from the corner of his eye he could see a doll like beauty with shoulder length hair that was a mix of blue and gray sleeping peacefully in a bed thinking to himself it was his lucky day he had quietly pounced on the beauty waking her only to discover as he touched her chest that it was flat ripping the low quality shirt off it was a man deeply shocking the giant to think that any man could be this beautiful none the less since he wasn't a woman he was only a useless mouth to feed as he was prepared to finish the boy off he then thought of how they needed more men who could do mining labor.

“Ha! It's your lucky day brat from today on you'll be a slave who will be cleaning the deck and making the meals stand up do anything funny and say hello to Mr.Axe!”

Young Man's POV

My body was sore all over as I tried to move it thinking back to how I ended up in this situation yet nothing came to my mind it was just blank I felt cold and empty as liquid started to surround my body it felt like I was being set on fire over and over in shock as I pushed my body beyond it's limit slightly giving me pain but doing the job.

Opening my eyes what was in front of me was a handsome middle aged man with white skin that had a golden tint to it his eyes were dark yellow enchanted by his golden hair and had pointed ears slightly resembling mine but were longer and more straight seeing me wake up he looked at me with confusion clearly written across it.

“May I ask who you are?”

The pointed eared man slightly spoke to himself ignoring my question directed towards him.

“ƃuıʇsǝɹǝʇuı˙˙˙ʞǝǝʍ ɐ ʇsɐǝן ʇɐ ɹoɟ dǝǝןsןɐ ǝq pןnoʍ ǝɥ ǝɹns sɐʍ ı ʇsɐɟ os dn ǝʞoʍ ǝɥ ʇɐɥʇ ǝuoןɐ ʇǝן uɐɯoʍ ɐ ɹoɟ ɯıɥ ʞooʇsıɯ ı ʇɐɥʇ ʞuıɥʇ oʇ ןןɐ ɹǝʇɟɐ uɐɯ ɐ s,ʇı os”

I was shocked upon hearing these words he spoke a completely foreign language noticing the shock written across my face he slightly coughed as he said.

“Apologizes...human you woke up much faster than I expected.”

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

As though waiting for me to nod in confirmation he continued.

“Ah I forgot my manners my name is Rai Sunseed I'm the 505th elder of Suntree village as of this year 1098 years old sworn to King Sai and Queen Yuki who bless our village with their everlasting light.”

“I found you bloody and injured with a life threatening wound near your heart that was thankfully prolonged thanks to your high amount of mana.”

Seeing my expression of confusion he asked a question with a serious look within his eyes.

“Do you know where you come from or what your name is.”

In response I quickly replied as I said.

“Of course I do it's....it's....”

Something a feeling from somewhere I don't know why or how but it was trying to escape my lips yet in the end was held back by something.

The middle aged man slightly shook his head in pity as he said.

“It seems that your high usage of mana to save your life overloaded your brain in the process it's a mysterious illness that happens to a few of our children who are blessed with high magical potential for now we can only hope you receive enough flashes of your memory to remember everything.”

While smiling as though he found a rare gem he said.

“For now we should get you to work on the farms we could always use an extra hand and it might help your um...lack of muscles.”

As though trying to hold in laughter and not offend me at the same time he turned around as he started introducing me to the rest of the villagers outside the small house.

“If it isn't the village elder who's that beautiful young woman with you?”

With a smile on his face was a handsome young man with long black hair and green eyes.

“Hmph! Up to your old playboy tricks huh? Alan Snakewell.”

The elder with disdrain for the youth clearly showing on his face proceeded to say.

“Unfortunately for you the young beauty before you isn't a woman but a man.”

Cold air instantly spread all over the village as the two looked at each other Alan proceeded to look at the blue haired youth and then back towards the elder.

“You aren't joking are you? To think that a man could look like that, I heard of pretty boys but he's on another level.”

The Blue Haired Youth responded in a confused manner.

“Huh? Is that a good thing?”

The elder only proceeded to pat him on the back while Alan whispered in his ear.

“Hehe big brother here will introduce you to plenty of beauties.”

While Alan disliked completion this gave him a chance to get close with this stranger who knows with his unique looks and the feint touch of mana radiating off his body he could be some big shot who could get him out of this small village.

“Hmph! Don't get too close to Alan while he has good intentions it ends up bad in the end better to keep your distance from this troublemaker, now let's show you to where you'll be working into we can find a way to treat you.”

“I'll do my best to repay your kindness after all if you didn't come when you did I might be a goner right now.”

The elder showed him a few tricks on getting the ingredients needed for the sun candy and cotton out of the ground after which he proceeded to take care of business he had elsewhere.

20 minutes had passed and during this time sweat started to cover his body

From the distance you could see some females and even males watch the boy work the farm as a few of them had thoughts about helping out to impress the girl while the females who could tell the difference between man and woman were fantasizing about holding the beautiful boys face in their hands at the moment of course the wolves and foxes didn't show it on the outside.

As the blue haired youth was engaged in his work he saw honey blonde hair in front of him in the shape of a little girl half his height giving him something that looked yellow yet had a bit of green paste around it.

“Mr mommy said I could give you this enjoy!”

The blonde little girl had a beautiful smile on her face that could capture the heart of any man it was destined that in a few years she would become a beauty when she matured, The youth slightly reached out his hand to hold the soft yellow treat that smelled good.

“Thanks for the treat little girl what's your name?”

“Kari Blackwood yours?”

The blue haired youth looked trouble for a moment into his mouth shape resembled that of an O.

“My name is Abel.”

They had chatted for a bit more into her mother called her home during which he waved her goodbye in no time at all it had all ready turned night time so he went back towards the village elders home, returning home he saw the elder reading a book that had letters in the language used here.

“Welcome back young man.”

“Call me Abel.”

“Did you remember anything?”

With a shake of his head the old man sighed and said.

“Very well then head to bed I'll start to teach you magic tommrow.”

5 days later.

Abel who was formerly just made of bones like he hadn't eaten in weeks had gained a bit of body fat on his body alongside his magi training it restored the noble and prideful look that was formerly in his facial features before he had lost his memories.

He wore a black coat with tints of blue around it and pants that were crafted above normal by the elder for him of course it wasn't free he had to work for everything he asked for the elder made sure to remind him of this to encourage his careful outlook on spending too much money you could almost say that Abel had become his son during this time when they would drink a sort of mable tea that the farmers helped him dig out to his surprise he was able to skillfully serve it in it's more delicious form on his first try.

These days continued for a long time into....

boom

“Elder we're being attacked by pirates!”

The elder with shock written across his face quickly said.

“Why aren't the sunguards stopping them.”

“Elder didn't you know that it's the month of Sun?”

The elder with a dreadful expression on his face said.

“Get the women and children to safety I'll try to hold them off after all their only way to the inside of the town is through me you get the rest to safety.”

Hearing this Abel knew it was going to be dangerous.

“Let me help elder!”

The elder didn't even turn around as he said.

“Sorry but you have too much to live for while I'm only a sack of bones for now go to sleep.”

The elder has cast his sleep spell on the boy and hid him in a location that pirates wouldn't look for treasure.

“It's time! Lord Sun God please let me embrace your holy flames in the afterlife once more.”

Abal felt like he was in a deep slumber as he saw a blue little boy sitting near a river by himself his face revealed sadness as all the other children stood away from him instantly it flashed to the blue haired boy receiving hellish training and pain to gain strength yet just like childhood he held that same doll like expression on his face into he shouted to the heavens letting all of it out as blood was leaking from his chest behind him you could see a shadowy figure that sent him flying down a waterfall.

Suddenly he could feel a pinch of pain as his eyes opened.

“Ha! It's your lucky day brat from today on you'll be a slave who will be cleaning the deck and making the meals stand up do anything funny and say hello to Mr.Axe!”

Abal usually would have sent such a brute flying after his training with the elder but what shocked him the most was seeing the old man's body on the ground his parts of his brain and liver flowing down like a river.

Angry took control of his body as he tried to control magic that was out of his control instantly the

brutes axe hand went flying with a yell.

“You...you bastard! I'll kill you for this!

The brute yelled at Abal as he slightly pointed his arms at the brute.

It was as though he entered a trance his eyes turned violet like a demon's and Magical energy infused his entire being.

“You trash...no you're worse than trash I'll kill you like you did my master who took care of me on my verge of death gave me food, clothing, training now I'll use all of this pain and sweat and tears to send you to the afterlife die!”

Boom
