[KATANAGURI FOREST]

[2:30 AM]

It was pitch dark outside, wolves were howling, leaves were rustling and there was a small village which was unknown to the outside world. A village that exists in seclusion with the most terrifying shamans, only the selected ones can contact these shamans through the rakshasa which is a black bird with three eyes, these birds are used to spy on people by the shamans and to communicate with the agents spread across the capital.

The agents in the capital are disguised as normal people, who have a normal family and a normal job, these agents were called as the black, no one knows their true name or origin, their purpose is to find customers and send the request of these customers to the shamans, based on the request the price is determined. These shamans are not materialistic, money is of no importance to them, the price can be some high-quality food for the children of the village or a living person to sacrifice to the great goddess KALI.

"CAW CAW"

"CAW CAW"

The rakshasa brought the request to the shamans, while the shamans were going through the requests, one of them found a paper that was completely covered in blood and was sealed using high-level magic. The shaman took the page and read the request aloud.

"He has been born!!, Destruction is near we must kill him before he destroys everything."

With nervousness in his voice, the shaman read the last line, "The Legendary Dragon Emperor has been reborn as the kid of a noble family."

All the shamans trembled in fear, shouting and panicking.

"That's enough", a loud voice silenced all the shamans, it was from the head of the shamans the mighty Ahal Zur.

"If the news is indeed true then we must find out the family the emperor has been born into and kill him before he destroys the world again."

"Send this news to all our agents in the capital and other parts of the kingdom we must soon find out his whereabouts."

It was raining and the thunder was rumbling and in this heavy rain there was a young boy practicing his sword, it was none other than Ryuyong practicing with his sword, since he was learning the thunder style practicing in these conditions will help him to become stronger.

Ryuyong was practicing hard as he was turning 13 years old, children of the age of 13 who wants to become a knight must first give an entrance exam to be enrolled at the royal magic academy, only those selected will even have a chance to become a knight, those who fail to get selected can never become a royal knight.

*Rumble*

*Rumble*

The thunder roared like a hungry lion, shaking the very foundations of the earth and Ryuyong was practicing hard to become strong and suddenly Ryuyong felt a sudden pain in his chest.

"AHHHH....", Ryuyong shouted in pain and his whole body started shivering, the surrounding was suddenly enveloped with a thick blanket of fog, obscuring any trace of visibility.

"Wha...What is happening?!", Ryuyong started shouting.

"YOU HAVE TO REGAIN YOUR POWERS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE", A loud voice was heard from somewhere.

Ryuyong looked around and vaguely saw a huge beast with two heads hiding in the fog.

"WHO ARE YOU!?" "WHAT DO YOU WANT?", Ryuyong asked with curiosity.

Suddenly a mark appeared on his chest that looked like twin dragons coiled together.

"WHEN THE TIME COMES, WE SHALL MEET AGAIN MY LORD", said the mighty beast, and in a flash, the fog was cleared and the pain was gone, Ryuyong could not move his body and kept lying on the ground.

The mark was slowly fading away but as this was going on a rakshasa flew in the sky, with its wings casting a shadow over the land noticed everything, and was headed to the katanaguri forest to inform Ahal Zur about this incident.

Ryuyong then slowly got up and picked up his sword and walked slowly toward the Yotsuba main house, as soon as he reached home Lina noticed something was wrong with Ryuyong and rushed to him and asked, "What happened Ryuyong?"

He did not want to worry his mother, so he decided to hide the truth from her, "Nothing I might have practiced a little too much, it was raining heavily outside."

"Nothing to worry about Mother", Ryuyong said with a gentle smile on his face,

Lina pulled Ryuyong into her embrace and told him not to strain himself too much, Ryuyong then told her not to worry and assured her he would be careful next time.

"Take some rest and come down for breakfast", Lina told Ryuyong.

Ryuyong headed upstairs to change and while changing his head started spinning and he saw a tall man with golden eyes destroying an entire city with a snap.

"Who is this man?"

"Wh... Why does he seem so familiar?"

Ryuyong then becomes unconscious.
