Chapter 1 : The journey begins..

    In a pocket dimension belonging to a legendary warrior,


    A little boy called Ao was born, grew up and was raised by the inhabitants of this small place,


    His master and his many servants


    In this dimension, a great temple was built, in memory of a deity in whom the inhabitants have faith, and an enormous library in the basement, containing a vast quantity of books, films and other knowledge from the ancient world.


    Today, 11-year-old Ao is enthusiastically preparing for his journey


    Knock on the door ‘Ao! Wake up, your master is waiting for you!’


    Ao gets up from his bed and prepares himself by putting on his training clothes, which consist of a simple brown haori and trousers.


    He opens the door to his room and descends the stairs to his mezzanine to meet his master at the entrance to the temple


    Points at his feet


    Gets closer to his master ‘Yes master ?’


    Slaps Ao in the face ‘Show some respect, Ao’.


    Sneers silently ‘Come with me’


    Ao and his master stop in front of a closed door, which isn''t attached to any wall or building, it''s just a door that stands on its own in front of them


    Stands next to the door and looks at his disciple ‘Listen to me carefully Ao, because once you go through this door, you won''t be able to go back’


    Sigh ‘I''m serious.’


    Deep breath


    Puts his hand on Ao''s shoulder


    Ao looks at his master with a embarrassed look


    Looks around Eh.. Why are the servants here too? Why do some of them look so.. sad?


    Taps Ao on the shoulder ‘Well, here''s the purpose of this test’


    Turns to his master ‘I''m listening Master!’


    Confused look ‘Wh.. What?’


    Ao opens the door and sees nothing beyond, just emptiness.


    He takes one last look at his master, then leaps inside the door


    *Fascinated look at the horses*


    A man with a sword gets out of the cart and walks towards Ao, ready to draw his weapon


    Ao moves out of the way and shakes his clothes full of dust and dirt


    Sigh Well, I''ll explore around a bit, I''m sure I''ll find some clues somewhere.


    A little girl with long black hair and a torn, blood-stained dress approaches and begs


    Starts to cry


    Compassionate look


    rying


    Smiles


    Throws herself into Ao''s arms ‘Thank you!’


    Looks at the sign of a dilapidated building A saloon? That''s what you see in westerns!


    Ao and the little girl head into the saloon, and see lots of people inside, getting drunk


    He directs the little girl, staying close to her, and tell her to sit down at an empty table


    Stomach growling ‘Hmm.’ Embarrassed and blushing


    Ao goes over to the main counter and sees a half-drunk waiter waiting him


    *Shocked look, then* ‘AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA’ Loud laugh


    Wipes tears from his eyes ‘Aaaah you''re new, right? Uuuuh.. You should get out of this village, kid,

    Cuts off


    The door of the Saloon slams loudly,


    a group of 5 people dressed in long black ponchos with a gold design embroidered on top arrive aggressively, and shout


    Points to the little girl sitting on the empty table


    The 5 people are getting dangerously close to the little girl, but Ao gets in their way


    Gets pushed


    Smile ‘I don''t think you understand.. this little girl is under my protection now!’


    The man in the poncho #1 holds his men back to avoid escalating the situation


    *Serious look*


    Ao gets angry, and releases his aura,


    The saloon tables shake, the wood of the building cracks, and a small blue aura surrounds young Ao


    A shockwave emerges around Ao, pushing the men in the black ponchos back and getting into a fighting stance


    Runs at Ao


    Ao quickly dodges ???#4, and gives him a huge flying kick in the face and go through the wall of the saloon


    The people inside start to get scared and run away from the scene towards the counter


    Prepares to throw a punch at Ao


    Ao takes his punch with his arm, and throws a right punch that sends him flying out of the Saloon


    ???#1 waves his hand and casts a spell


    Kōsoku’


    Dodges quickly and puts his hand on ???#1 ‘Shōkyaku’


    Enhance: Full body’


    Enhance: Full body is a technique that allows a large amount of star power to flow through the user''s body


    ???#1 and Ao engage in martial arts combat, the two are fighting as equals and inflict wounds on each other


    The black poncho on fire starts a fire in the Saloon, but the two continue to fight regardless, paying no attention to the situation they''re in


    Thoughts of ???#1


    Waves his hand ‘STOP!’


    Stops in front of him, still on guard ‘What? You admit defeat?!’


    Turns to the little girl, and..


    Completely shocked and frightened look


    Growls and devours


    Breathes heavily Blood?!.. everywhere.. She''s eating.. the people in the Saloon?!


    A horrible scene takes place in front of Ao and the 3 people behind him, the little girl is like possessed,


    a black aura surrounds her, black pointed nails have grown on her, and are tearing the flesh of the people who had taken refuge at the counter to eat them


    Closes in on Miki ‘Miki.. What''s wrong with you?!’


    Turns towards Ao, his mouth is dripping blood, his face is full of black veins and his eyes are completely black


    Sees Miki''s changed face


    Jumps towards Ao and tackles him to the ground and screams ‘GUUEUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAHH!!!’


    Holds her back as best he can ‘CALM DOWN MIKI!! PLEASE CALM DOWN!!’


    Ao starts to get scratched, and the little girl is about to bite him, when suddenly..


    SLASH


    A sound of severed flesh is heard throughout the Saloon


    ???#1 pulled a katana from his belt, and cut the little girl''s head off, blood streaming down Ao''s face, completely shocked by the scene


    Yells and cries ‘CALL ME BACK, MASTER!!!’


    Sheds the body of Ao''s little girl and takes him in his arms ‘Breathe Kid.. It''s alright!!’


    Ao remembers


    Ao stops remembering


    Breathes heavily ‘Where.. where am I?’


    Breathes hard and shouts ‘ANSWER ME!!’


    Ao is breathing harder and harder and is having a panic attack, the people in the black ponchos are getting closer to him and are trying to help him as best as they can


    His vision blurred.. and he understood why his master had told him the purpose of the test in such an incomprehensible way..


    Ao.. must prove himself worthy.. by surviving on planet Earth, in the continent of the Pendragon Kingdoms


    And above all.. he must discover the truth.. the truth about this world, and its destiny
