《Ragnarök : Guardians》
Prologue : Alone In The Dark
--- Lucius Thorn : Level 1 Guardian / Codename : None ---
Just this morning everything was fine and now i''m running away from monsters with my best friend all bloody hanging on my shoulder, in frontof us are Death Forest, the place that flood with level 3 undead monsters while behind are a tribe of furious orge...*Sigh* i wonder how we got ourselves into this mess. Ah! That right! Lately orges have wandering near the city gate so the government put up a subjugate request, they said there is only "a few" of them, apparently "few" in their dictionary are a little over 30!
Suddenly Jason tug my shirt, he is a blonde hair crystal blue eyes handsome guy with the typical football player''s body but right now that brilliant hair color of his are dyed red, his brown leather armor stain with blood and his left arm are nowhere to be found. He whisper in my ear.
"Leave me..." - Jason
My parents died when i was young so my father friend took me in, that is how me and Jason met. We grew together just like real brothers, he would beat up anyone that try to bully me while i help him with his homework. Hell! We''re so close that some girls in our school even draw gay arts of us and he''s telling me to leave him behind!? This bastard, my bulging veins feel like they are going to explode from rage. I glare at him but the guy still has that stupid smile on his face... This fucker.
"You *Cough* are reaching your limit right ?" - Jason
I just ignore him and focus on running toward the forest, why you ask? Because according to the information i obtain 3 days ago orge and undead have a really bad relationship. I personally like the orge more than undead but right now the chance of us surviving the orge are basically 0% so i would ratherchoose the forest. We keep running like that for hours until finally ifall down on all four puking my guts out.Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
"Haha... You look terrible *Cough* brother..." - Jason
This bastard! I scream at him full volume...
"You''re the one to talk! Bastard!" - Lucius
...And start breathing heavily again.
"I swear to god if you die here after all i have done for you then i''m going to drag your ass back even if it means i have to use [Death Art] of the necromancer so just shut up and..." - Lucius
"Behind you Lucius!!!" - Jason
I heard him scream but it was too late, the zombie charge at me with hisblood-dripping mouth wide open, i roll over to the side barely dodging him. I guess the bastard used to be a clown, he look like something come out from a kid worst nightmare. Don''t want him back on his feet i imediately draw my [Normal Steel Knife] and plunge the thing into his head. 1,2,3,4,5, when theadrenaline rush stop and i regain my senseshis face is already just a disfigure pulp of blood, the stench of rotten meat attack my nostrils make me puke my guts out again. I wipe my mouth using my little handkerchief and walk over to Jason.
"Come on we need to go, the other must have heard us" - Lucius
"Fi *Cough* ne, grumpy *Cough* old man" - Jason
We continue to venture the forest until finally we stop at a cave''s entrance, i go inside first to look for dangerous creature but the cave look pretty empty so i go back out and drag Jason inside. Rip my shirt to 2 i use the bigger piece trying to bandage Jason''s wounds... This might sound heartless but it''s up to him now, there is nothing more i can do for him in this situation. I then go out to collect some dry tree branchs to put up a small fire but when i came back...
"Jason? Bro! Come on now this is not time for jokes... Wake up damnit!!" - Lucius
I lay him down, put my hands on his chest and start pushing hard... I keep doing it for hours until the cruel reality that my best friend, my brother are no longer alive and i''m all by myself in this darkness hit me.
"AaaRrRGGggGHHh!!!" - Lucius
My loud voice resound inside the cave, twisted like some sort of monsters cry.

Moment later weirdmechanical noise resounded all over the hollow room, my blood glow a beautiful crimson color while running through the carved symbols on the door.
*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*
Crack start to appear in the middle of the door and slowly spread to other places, black fog seeping out cause the already bloody ominous giant door look a lot more scarier than before, then suddenly the blood stop circulating and start to gather in one place create the number : 666. Number of the beast... I''m in Satan''s ruin, fucking great. I wait and wait but nothing happen so i wait a little more until the number start to flicker as if it about to disappear, out of reflex and curiosity i try to grab it and just like that the whole door broken to pieces of stone. The chilling air touch my skin make me shiver, both my mind and body are screaming loudly for me to get the hell out of this place and never come back but like every other horror movies character i step into the darkness, i thought everything would be okay with my [Night Vision] but the damnable skill is no longer working.
"[Night Vision].[Night Vision].[Night Vision]. Damnit i said[Night Vision]!!!" - Lucius
No matter how dark the place is,[Night Vision] alway work so there''s only 2 conclusion, either the whole place have nothing beside darkness or all this are a illusion and i''m just being stupid . I personally would like to think it''s the latter one but consider this is Satan''s ruin, darkness theory will make more sense...

==========
I keep walking and walking and walking but there''s literally nothing but darkness inside this place... I''m hungry! I''m Thirsty! My memory are slowly disappearing, i can''t even remember my best friend name anymore. Is he dead? Is my parents dead? Am i dead? What is this place! Why am i here!? Who the hell am i!? I scream out in agony but instead of words what came out of my mouth is just a bunchof weird moan, the lack of water make me unable to talk, i fall down on all 4 due toexhaustion. How many years have i spent in this... eternal darkness? How long must i suffer...? I look at the knife in my hand, those used to be white and smooth hands are now ugly and wrinkled, being nothing beside skin and bone.
Just when the steel knife about to penetrate my throat, series of flashbacks hit me. I saw a 6 years old black hair black eyes child being beat up with a golf club and yell at by a drunken man in white shirt, he flung all kind of abusive vulgar language at the poor kid, then hegrab the kitchen knife on the beautiful glass table, press it into the kid neck and start to threaten him. The drunken man words are broken and doesn''t make any sense in the slightest. The kitchen knifecut through the kid neck, blood start to flow out... Tears stream down my face and ireflexively touch my neck.
As if waiting for me to remember, the scenery change, this time the 3 main characters : The kid, the drunken man and the kitchen knife are still here but thetable have turned. The kid are holding a... No! I''m holding a knife in my hand, the drunk man - my father who are being tied up look at me fearfully. He start to weep and beg but i pay him no heed, i then proceed to chop his fingers off one by one. He squeal like a pig the whole time until finally, he passed out. I just sit there and stare at him for awhile then...
*Slash*
I cut his neck, the horrify look on his face excite me. 3 hours later the cops came, i was deemed insane, they bring me to a [Guardian] with mind powers and wipe out my memories.

Chapter IV : Back To The City (Part I)
--- Lucius Thorn : Level I Guardian / Codename : None ---
I collected the orge''s monster core (Tosale of course) and right ears for proof, i walk back to New Washington, this time on my way back there''s nothing really worth mentioning other than some horn rabbit try to attack me and failmiserably. After hoursand hours of walking i finally reach the city, there''s about 200 marskman on top of the gate ready to kill any suspicious or dangerous person and over 50 spearman checking people that go in and out of the city. Pretty tight security huh?New Washington North gate are the biggest and most secure gate out of the whole city due to it geography, right outside the gate are a plain grass field where weak monsters like horn rabbit and goblin reside in but a few kilometers away from it are a forest full of level 5 to 6 undead so of course the security must be tight. There''s also some level 7 wendigo slip into the city using it''s prey identity and kill dozen to hundred of people decade ago, everyonewere furious back then, media even cause a huge ruckus about how the government doesn''t care about their citizen forcing thecouncil tofocus on New Washington security.
As i was waiting in line, a silverpompadour hair bratcut in front of me, he turn around with a disgusting grin on his face. For convenience purpose, i''m going to call him Rich Brat.
"Do you have a problem with me cutting line?" - Rich Brat
...What with this clich¨¦ plot? Is this somekind of novel! Are you expecting me to fight him!? First of all this guy armor set are level 5 limited edition [White Knight Armor Set] mean he must be born with a diamond spoon in his mouth and rich people alway bring along trouble, seriously do you know how expensive that set is? I don''t recognize his sword but that thing aura scream DANGER to me! So for the sake of myself i just shurgshoulders and let him take my place.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Tsk..." - Rich Brat
Did this fucking bastard just click his tongue at me!? Okay, calm down Lucius... Calm down, breathe in and out... In and out. Letjust ignore this fucker. Suddenly another brat wearing [Origin Hunter Armor] set wrap hishand around my neck, i turn to look at the guy. He has aH big body frame, tan skin and his tomohawk green haird are fucking ridiculous, i have to pinch my hand hard to stop myself from laughing.Again, i''m going to call this guy Muscle Brain Thug for the sake ofconvenience.
"You should be happy giving up your place to young master but what with that face huh!?" - Muscle Brain Thug
His voice... He has a eunuch voice!!! I dig my nails deep into my skin and bite my lip to stop myself from laughing...
...But i fail.
"Pfttt.....HahaaAha! You *Gasp for breath* have a feminine voice!!" - Lucius
Muscle Brain Thug looks extremly pissed, his face turnall red from embarrassment and he scream out in anger.
"You fucking bitch!!" -Muscle Brain Thug
He touch the level 4 [Sabertooth Sword] hanging on his waist and took a fighting stance, although i said fighting stance, it''s pretty much just him doing some basic footwork the cityteach everywhere for [Guardians] swordman, may look profesional for other people but for me, the one who used to learnMoonlight Splittersword style (What a arrogant name for a sword style huh?) from my master since i was adopted by Jason''s father on theother hand see his stance as child play. Why do i still get bullied you asked? Because i don''t want to break anyone bones at school of course! Anyway word of advice, if you want to determinate your opponent skill then just look at their shoulder and footwork, this guy obviously learn basic lesson but i guess he stop practice thinking that he''s strong enough so his footwork are too wide which make it hard to attack, easy to defense but his shoulder are the exact opposite, it look like he about to do a horizontal attack.
The moment he swung his sword i crouchdown and put my elbow into his stomach,Muscle Brain Thug fall down on his ass while i continue to beat him up with my fist, 1,2,3,4,5,... His entire face disfigure from my attacks, he look like he about to die then suddenly an arrow flew pass my face.
"Stop right there!" - ???
Chapter V : Back To The City (Part II)
--- Lucius Thorn : Level I Guardian / Codename : None ---
I turn toward the unfamiliar voice, there stand a spearman squad. Their whole bodies were covered from head to toe by [Iron Armor] set, the typical and extremely cheap low grade armor for standard guard. There''s an execption, a brown hair pretty boy whom i assume to be the leader of this squad has a modify [Iron Armor], his armor look much bulkier than the other guys and instead of a spear, he use a sword that i can''t identify. He walk up, stuck on the left of his chest is a guard captain badge, he speak with a loud, neither manly nor feminine voice.
"Please release the poor man and come with us quietly." - Guard Captain
I glare at him and voice my complaint.
"Poor? Did i hear wrong? This son of a bitch attack me first with the intention to kill and for some reason i become the bad guy? What kind of injustice is this!!?" - Lucius Thorn
I''m so mad that i almost vomit out blood, according to the law, people who cause trouble infront of the gate will have to pay a fine (Not a cheap one by the way) and not only that, they will be under house arrest for 1 month. When this thug attack me, these guys were nowhere to be found and suddenly they appear? I''m pretty sure rich brat over there bribe them. As if understanding my train of thoughts, prett... guard captain continue.
"Be assure that we, New Washington''s city guard have no intention of taking side, we simply want to find who started this... well, accident." - Guard Captain
He smile brightly, i felt dizzy for a moment but nothing really happen... He still has that creepy smile stuck on to his face, did this guy think i''m one of his fan girl or something. I glare at him again, this timesome new expression like disgust and disdain surface together. He look at me shocked, his eyes grew wide open like he has just seen some kind of ghost.
"Ahem... If you don''t come then we are going to use force" - Guard Captain
An uncomfortable feeling start to grow inside my chest, i just want to ram my fist into his mouth to shut him up, i then sneer at him.
"Hear that everyone? He''s going to use force! Oh i''m scared!" - Lucius ThornThe story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
His darkened, look like the guy doesn''t use to being mock.
"Haha!Try me bitch!" - Lucius Thorn
My anger and wrath feel like an entire different entity from myself, i just want to kill them all to satisfied my feelings.
"Fine! Arrest him!" - Guard Captain
All 10 spearman charge at me, i wait for them to come closer then roll forward, although spear are a pretty safe weapon with long range but they are all useless against me, the momentum doesn''t let these spearman stop and they not a single spear hit me, i already knock out 3 guys when they finally draw back. Believe it or not, the number of guard are huge but their quality... I mean think about it, if you have cool power then why would you want to work as guard? Their salary are low and the people hate guard, mostly because of their corrupted nature. The other 6 try to hit me but their reflex are slow and their technique are pretty much shit. It took me about2 minutes to finished them all, the guard captain face pale when he see me walk over, he down on his butt.
"Ah... I''m sorr..." - Guard Captain
I ram my fist into his mouth, 4 of his teethshattered and he fainted instantly. Marksman can''t use gun orbow for human and their close combat ability are shit so they can only watch me beat the crap out of these guys. I''m about to hit mister guard captain here a few more time but a hand touch my shoulder, i turn around and find a platinum hair girl, her golden eyes shine under with intelligent, her elf bloodline make her already prettyface look a lot more beatiful. My anger immediatelysubside, i know this girl and i even have a crush on her, she''s my 25 years old math teacher and her name is Sylvia Argent, the last time we met she''s still a human. I guess her bloodline awakened when i''m gone, back in school, she''s one of the few people that sided with me, to be honest i''m really good with math but i still pretend to be stupid so i can spend my time with her. I never have the courage to confess my love back then, that fateful day when me and Jason left the city for the orge subjugate mission are our last meeting.
If she''s still alive then maybe not much time has passed or it''s could because of her bloodline...
"Lu... Lucius..." - Sylvia Argent
She look at me terrified. Only then i realise the thing i have done, my broken hand stain with human blood and that raging angerinside my chest got replace by another feeling : fear. My reflection on Sylvia eyes are of a monster, black veins all over my face and body, my black irisesturn into a crimson red color and the sclera part turn black. I don''t have any skill that can turn me into this... thing! [Night Vision] and [Lesser Strengthen] doesn''t has this kind of ability! I rack my brain to find an answer and finally it hit me... I turn my head and find a blue transparent box.

chapter VI : Heirs (Part I)
--- Lucius Thorn : Level I Guardian / Codename : None ---
"Sylvia..." - Lucius
The words get stuck in my throat, it''s not because i don''t know what to say, it''s because thetingling feeling that just appear in my nape suddenly turn into pain, my whole body is burning up, the world around me spin! Dizziness hit me and i fall flat on my face.
...
I wake up with my handtied down to a chair, my ears keep ringing to the point where it hurt and my vision is all blurry. I''m in a completely white room, there''s nothing in this place beside the cold chair i''m currently sitting on. It took several minutes for all of my senses to adjust, i glance around the room until finally my eyes settle onto the iron door infront of me. I can hear someone voice outside, the moreconcentrate i am, the more easy it is for me to hear that voice.
"S....He''s subject #39 huh?" - ???
"Yeah, i''m heard that he''s different than the other subject! Although he has a tilte, his bloodline hasn''t completely awaken yet!" - ???
"Hey guys! I think he''s awake!" - ???
... Subject #39, do they mean me? Well, thedoor of my room being open confirm my suspicious. Four scientist-looking guys walk in, they''re wearing high level equipment and they seem to be VERY vigilant aboutme.
"Guys! Don''t be abitch! I''m being tied down with fucking chain for god sake!" - Lucius
Uhm... I don''t mean to say that. All of them frown upon hearing my words. The biggest guy out of the four approach me, in his right hand are asyringe with blue alien-looking liquid inside, the damn thing is huge, seriously!
"I know i''m kind of an ass but do you really need to be that angry!!?" - LuciusStolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
He ignore me and push thesyringe in my chest, the pain is almost unbearable! And that liquid! I know it, they teach us about it in school, the thing can suppress one''s bloodline, it''s a weapon create by the gorvenment to control [Guardian] with mystical creatures bloodline! For example, an elf has the power to connect with spirit so they''re born spirit user but with that liquid inside your veins, not to mention contract, that elf can''t even hear spirit! My whole body go numb... *Sigh* Look like they blend someanesthetic with it, these guys are really wary about don''t they? They then put me in awheelchair, we go pass room after room until finally they start to slow down and stop at a wooden door. This wooden door may look simple but it''s actually made out of [Hell''s Oak] (Named by the gorvernment, no ideal why), "tougher than steel and lighter than iron" is it''s slogan!
Behind this expensive door is a woman, she''s really beautiful andnot the normal sexy girlthat you can find anywhere in the city, she''s the noble and elegant kind that make you gasp for breath upon seeing her. Her jade-like skin, high nose bridge and violet sharp eyes create ansuperior aura, that silk-like black hair of her tied up in a ponytail. People would go crazy seeing her but i remain calm because deep down in my heart i know, what and who this girl is.
"So you''re the Devil''s heir?" - ???
Her enchanting angel-like voice can make people fall to their knee make me shudder in fear. We exchange glance and i finally managed to squeeze the words out of my mouth with greatdifficulty.
"Uriel...Heir...." - Lucius
She smile...
"Are youafraid?" - Uriel''s Heir
I don''t answer, in fact i can''t even open my mouth!
"Guys, give him theantidote and leave" -Uriel''s Heir
She told the four guys behind me... Fuck! Syringe again!? The guy that keep sticking his syringe in me had a serious eyes before but after he met "her", his expresion turned into lust. It''s like he about to push "her" down right before us! Well, i can''t really blame him for this, angel''s charm isn''t something human can resist. After they left, "she" stare at me again.
"What do you want?" - Lucius
I asked. She just smile, i can''t read her emotion at all and this make me uncomfortable.
"We''ll get to what i want latter, i need to ask you this first, how many heirs do you think there is?" -Uriel''s Heir
"I don''t know, ten? One hundred? Just tell me what you want!!" - Lucius
Fuck! I hate that look! This girl is treating me like a child!
"That''s wrong, every major religion figure have one heir." -Uriel''s Heir
