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
