《A Martial Game》 1.-Prologue Rise That day my life became hell¡­. That day I was reborn anew¡­. That day I understood the first truth¡­. That day I lost something important for the last time¡­. That day I decided to slay anything that stopped me from my goal¡­. That day I was 6 years old and my father didn¡¯t come back. I called him my father but in truth he wasn¡¯t, my name is Abel Hall I¡¯m and orphan, born in Atreia my strong green eyes is the only close aspect we do have in common , because my silver blonde hair defers a lot by his black hair and light green eyes, what is it Atreia? Atreia is a game or better called the immortal¡¯s game. Atreia is world divided in two hollow hemispheres that rotate by what we call Hyperion Sun, and the Theia Moon, a Sun and Moon created by the sacrifice of the two who saved our world; in the past is it said that when the Demonic beings from another dimension tried to claim the world core, humans, beast and demons forged an alliance for the first time leaving behind all differences to fight against them, and with the sacrifice of thousands were able to destroy most of them, but it was too late at the end they were able to destroy them, but the core was damaged and the earth was little by little being divided, it was impossible to repair but two divinities that saw all sympathized with them and couldn¡¯t possibly let these happen and in the last moment they sacrificed their martial heart to form a small sun and moon that pulled the earth rotating inside the hemispheres, after that the mortal world moved from the sterile surface to the insides the hollow hemispheres where life once again became active. The top surface of the world became barren lands and the lower ice lands where demonic beings left behind hide, the lower hemisphere is what we call the mortal world while the top is the cultivator¡¯s world, and now what part of it is game? Well after all of these passed by the mortals and immortals decided to each take a side of the hemispheres, on the mortals realm live people of what is called the elementary realm, the elementary realm is what u can call body cultivation after these a mortal start gathering spirit energy on their dantians, after somebody breakthrough elementary realm the will of heaven takes him to the upper hemisphere where immortals live of course if someone wants to come back their martial arts are suppressed and they are submitted by the tribulation of heavens these way they do not trouble the mortals side, now here is where the game part comes, every mortal have on their bodies a seal that stops them from breaking through so they got to go a game like company where they help you by teleporting your soul and body to the upper hemisphere, and what do they gain from it? Well you can say is an alliance you help them when they need you and they do same for you especially helping to protect the mortal world from the demonic beings.

These is where i come from, I was a born on upper Atreia, my father¡¯s found me on his way to complete a mission, he said he found me on the road at the side of a destroyed carriage and he then took me and raised me I never questioned it because I didn¡¯t care I was happy just by having him to my side, I trained in secret by copying his training the best I could, I knew he knew about me training and that he was secretly happy and the same time worried, during my fourth birthday he brought his friends to meet me and I was happy when they complimented me being at the second elementary layer, cause normally kids start their training at the age of six, my father was proud of me looking at me with his green eyes and patted my silver blonde hair a lot, that¡¯s when I learned how great my father Alex Hall was, he was the youngest commander of the Sky fire faction one of the top 10 factions on the upper hemisphere , In my green eyes he was the best. At the age of 5 I was close to the fourth layer and my father passed me a new training regime and said the he would supervise and help me with my training, I was satisfied, but 3 months before my birthday my father had a mission he told me he was going to back for the day of my birthday, when the day came I was nervous because I wanted to show him how much I improved, after some time the bell rang I went running to open it, when I did I found the leader of the Sky fire faction he was covered in wounds I looked around but I didn¡¯t see my father, that¡¯s when I understood. That day hell began. General Information Information (Read at your own discretion may contain spoilers) Hey guys here Saken, im a noob when It comes to writing but I shall do my best yoshaaaaaa¡­. XD Anyways going to give you some information about my story, well the world Is called Atreia if you google it ull fin a picture ( came right out aion game if you haven¡¯t played it) yeah imagine it like that with a small sun and moon in the middle of it with a sky around them. The upper hemisphere is divided into 3 realms the lower where the new cultivators are transported, middle, where sage to up from the human realm and the third where the deva realm lives. Cultivation Levels Human Realm Elementary (no color) Master (white) Grandmaster (yellow) Sage (gray) Lord (black) King (blue) Emperor (purple) Tyrant (red) Ancestor (gold) Deva Realm Inmortal (1 colored ring) Earth Inmortal (2 colored rings) Heaven inmortal (3 colored rings) Sovereign (4 colored rings) Divine (5 colored rings) Deity ((1 big golden ring with 5 colored rings) Celestial (tattoo on the chest representing the numbers of layers of the rings) Ok here is how it works is similar to doulou dalu, on my novel they are not born with a spirit they cultivate spirit energies after breaking from elementary level, during elementary level they train their bodies so they can handle these type of energy after breaking through. They are reborn as spirit practitioners, their bodies are make anew. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.Well after breaking through like doulou dalu you got to obtain a spirit hale corresponding your cultivation level for elementary to master, you got to obtain a spirit master halo for you, to master to grandmaster you need a grandmaster, and well you understand. Now here comes the important part. I¡¯m an ancestor do I need an immortal ring? No you don¡¯t after you reach the ancestor level you got to fusion the spirit rings by usin your own 10 spirit ring these way u stack it, if you are confused I recommend you to see the new manga of doulou dalu gods realm, at that point you can be called immortal, what happens after, for each of these stacked rings you gain a level and when you complete the second you have crossed to the next realm in these case earth immortal and on till the fifth of these rings where you are called divine practitioner, after by forging them together into one big ring with 5 rings inside you be called Deity level practitioner and by absorbing these big ring into yourself, you be called celestial level practitioner, you can say that¡¯s the end of the cultivation. The first spirit halo and type of beast it come from will dictate your future spirit for example if you absorb a spirit halo from a fire type of bird, you have to continue to gather fire type of flying beast and that bird will gain some aspects of the spirits you will absorb. Elements Water=Ice Air=Lighting Fire =Magma Earth =Metal Spiritual=Force Shadow=Dark Spiritual and Shadow can be divided as light or Curses 2.- Months ago Hey guys here Saken doing my best with the writin if any of you spot mistakes please tell me to fix them. if anyone has any constructive ideas or critisim is welcomed. The leader of the Sky Fire faction is called Michael White a powerful figure in the upper hemisphere, when i saw him on the door so hurt i immediately got a bad feeling. Abel: Michael-san what happened? What¡¯s with all those wounds? Where is my Father? Why are you alone? I asked. He immediately put a complicated expression on his face, I suddenly thought of the worse. Abel: No it can¡¯t be, Dad these is not funny where are you? Dad!! I screamed as I ran out of the house. He immediately ran after me. Michael: Abel is going to be alright. He said as he grabbed me by my shoulder. Abel: No, No, Where is him? Where is my father I exclaimed? My heart was a mess, as my mind suddenly black out; while I had my eyes closed i remembered the time I passed with him. My adoptive father Alex was the only person that truly cared for me we lived alone in an apartment near the public hospital. I do not even know my family, and don¡¯t have many friends. The kids around my age are all so immature and cannot get along too well with them; they all look at me like I am something weird, is normal because not all of them want to become practitioners. My Dad even though he did not pass too much time with me but was the only person that truly understood me, the only person I truly loved, while thinking on that I opened my small eyes. Michael: Oh boy you woke up, that¡¯s great!! He exclaimed. Abel: Michael-san! My father? Where is him? Michael: Now, Now boy you got to calm yourself, relax haven Alex always told u that a practitioner must have a calm and serene heart? That¡¯s right dad always used to tell me that. With that in my mind I tried to compose myself, but I still couldn¡¯t shake off these uneasy feeling. Michael: That¡¯s better boy, Now, Hear me out, your father is not death, he said. After hearing those words my heart calmed a little more and I could think better. Michael: But we don¡¯t have an idea where he is right now. Abel: Ah? How can that be? What happened to my father? Michael-san took a deep breath and said. A few months ago, one of our scout groups spotted what seemed like ancient ruins, your father and I decided to adventure to see if we can find any treasures for our faction, when we prepared all of our supplies, we got together to depart. 2 months ago Michael: Hey Alex so how¡¯s your son doing? Ehhh!! Commander you have a son? Said a woman with fiery raid hair and green eyes, that matched her fiery personality, Her name is Claire Hunt. Alex: You so noisy Michael, quiet down!! With your Noisy voice you will attract too many beasts, ohh and yeah I do tough he is not my blood related. He responded Ohh little Claire you may not know because you haven¡¯t taken many mission with us, responded a black haired man, he was the second division commander. Alex: Yeah I found him, when I was returning from a mission 6 years ago; I found a destroyed carriage in the rain so I went to investigate, while I was looking at it, I heard a cry, I hurried myself to where the noise came and I found him on the side of the road, down a tree, and when I saw him I hurried to take it, I tried to look around for any clue, but sadly I did not found any at all. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.So I took him with me, after that I tried to look for his families but nothing came, so I decided to take care of him, I just couldn¡¯t leave him. It¡¯s been a month since I last saw him. Eh! Didn¡¯t know that side of the commander, maybe I should go takes him a look. Claire said with a mischievous smile on her face. You!! Alex said with a red face. Hehehe commander so cute, said Claire with a wink. Hahahaha looks like Claire really became our commander weakness, Adams said looking surprised, but not only him but most of the team members going to the mission had the same expression. Claire joined 4 years ago to the Sky fire faction, during that time she became the center of attention, not only because her beauty but because her hyperactive personality, she liked to prank the captains of her squadron, 2 years ago when she joined the first division under the leadership of Commander Hall, she became the stone on his shoes, she would always move around bothering looking for ways to make him go nuts, but when the time came she would always stick to him till the end, making their relationship progress. But why you never told me about him? Said Claire while pouting. Well you never asked he said with a small smile on his lips. Ok ok you two lovebirds, stop with the pink atmosphere, we are close by. What are you saying leader, we are not like that said Claire with a tomato color face. Hahahaha hey Alex you better tell Abel he is getting a new mom, said Adam with a big smile on his face, some of Alex subordinates were nodding their heads. Argh. Alex just walked straight to Adam and gave him a punch on the ribs making him clutch on the floor for some time. Sorry Adam couldn¡¯t hear you said Alex with a straight face trying to hide his embarrassment, but anyone could see his face a little red. Uhhhhh man your love sure hurts Alex; learn to hold back a bit. Wait till I break to the Spirit King layer I will get you back for these, said Adam while holding his side. Alex just snorted to his comment. Ok ladies you better stop quarreling we are close by, said Michael as they closed their distance by walking. They had to travel by foot because the ruins where deep inside the Illusion forest. The illusion forest was a forest surrounding a mountain. The reason for its name I because many spiritual plants are found around but causes normal animals to lose their senses and become disoriented, reason why they could not bring horses and had to get by walking. Claire was about to open her mouth when she saw the look on Alex face she immediately asked. What wrong? Something is not right he said, it was immediately verified by Michael who started to run faster to the ruins where they had a camp set up with some members of the faction. Everyone started to follow him with a worried expression, It was immediately confirmed when they saw smoke coming out in the camp direction. 3.- Ambush Hey guys Saken here XD, i will appreciatte if you point my mistakes so i can correct them. contrustive critisim is welcome.^^ So here it goes guys Enjoy. As they got close to the camp, the smoke became even more visible, once they reached the entrance where the camp was supposed to be, the only thing they found was remains of a battle and the company corpses, what¡¯s going on? Asked Claire worried, I don¡¯t know, we made sure that the information didn¡¯t spread, he said. They started looking around and Alex immediately used his spirit energy to look for survivors, once he was done he said, come fast there is one still alive, said as he started running to a destroyed tree, once they got close enough they started to move the boulder, once done the soldier weakly opened his eyes, Roy!! Adam exclaimed as he moved down to help him, but his injuries were to severe, with his last bit of strength he said: Bo-ss What happened here? Michael asked. We go-t amb-ushed by W-ind Oath. How did they hear about it? He asked once more. I-t wa-ss Ba-rret he is wor-king wit-h them he weakly said. What Barret? He exclaimed. Barret Brown one of the corps leader his position was just below a commander. Why he would do that? He started thinking inside his mind, without anyone realizing Roy suddenly closed his eyes. Roy!! Adam said. Leave him! Alex Said, it was a miracle that he was able to survive with that wound on his chest, he pointed to his body as he said, truly his body had a huge wound that performed his lungs don¡¯t only that but his torso and legs bones were mostly broken, that¡¯s without thinking how long had he bled till we got here. BARREEEETTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Adams Screamed so hard the broken trees started to flew away, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOUUUUUUU!!! ILL KILL YOU MYSELF JUST WAIT!!! He continued to scream as he tears fell on the ground. Adam calm yourself Alex said. How can you say that don¡¯t you feel anything, the just killed our brothers and you still want me to be calm? He exclaimed as he released and incredible amount of killing intent. Is not the time for these said Michael in loud voice. But!! He answered We should be going inside already, we cannot let them get away with their plans after it we wil deal with it. Fine Adam Said. Let¡¯s get going he said, we should catch with Alex first, he said as he looked around and didn¡¯t find him, Adam looked around surprised and said ?When did he leave? He said, not only him but everyone too was surprised to not see their commander around. He leaved after u directed your killing intent to him. What?? How can he? That bastard he said with an angry tone. You shouldn¡¯t say that Michael said. Believe or not he was angrier than you. Ehh How can u say that Boss, he didn¡¯t even raise his tone at all. There are two types of people you should look out for he said. The ones that do not have anything to lose and the one that even though they are really angry they do not release killing intent, Alex is the later, those guys that can control their emotions in situations like these are the scarier ones, he explained making everyone gulp on surprise. The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.And it was true the moment Alex leaved if one could see deep inside his eyes and incredible amount of killing intent that would make Adam wrath seem like a child play. Michael and his group started to run toward the cave. Inside the cave, some hours after Adam rage Wind Oath members got separated into different groups as they tunnel divided into quite a few tunnels. The people of one of these groups were talking while exploring the second tunnel of the third principal divisions. Man these is taking too long, how much long we must be on these dirty place, I want to go back, there is completely nothing in these place only seen so far are a few corpses. Said one of the soldiers What can we do is the boss¡¯s order, we can only hope we don¡¯t find anything to strong, suddenly a killing intent so big that pushed the 9 soldiers to the their knees came from behind them, and as fast as it came it left, but the soldiers we so scared to even look back, when an icy-cold voice resounded in their ears saying. ?Which tunnel Barret took? The soldiers that were so scared hurriedly said the middle because the left was a dead end. So the middle said the icy voice, for a second you could clearly feel it was filled with anticipation and bloodlust, which made soldiers back sweat like a waterfall. Me and my bad habit you could hear him complain. One of the soldiers that seemed like the leader suddenly asked with a shaking voice. ?Who are you? Fear clearly visible from his voice. Dead man shouldn¡¯t worry about it, the voice said. Whaatttt?? The man abruptly turned around just to catch the figure of a blade aimed at his neck in a high speed, when he was able to forcefully turn his eyes just to catch the expressionless eyes of his killer, and the moment he did everyone was already dead including him, the shock was so big he didn¡¯t even realize his head was already at the floor. The figure was no one but Alex Hall the youngest commander of Sky Fire a seventh spirit king layer expert and the blade in his hand was none but his Metal Spirit The Purple Blade lotus, an Earth elemental practitioner at difference from the rest is able to absorb the energies of the nature spirits, making them able to create any kind of nature spirits, these is what exactly his sword is, it is the form that his nature spirit has reached by nurturing with different type of spirits he was able to create these unique elemental spirit, you could say not many practitioners are able to reach the point of evolve their earth spirit into a metal spirit, you need to absorb the right essences to reach these level. Then he turned around, and started to walk towards the middle tunnel, his eyes betrayed his walking as you could not perceive any leak of killing intent emanating from his body.
