《The Saint's Endeavor》 Prologue : The End of a Long Journey 10000 years. That''s how long it took him, the Saint King, to rid the Universe of the Void. Most of it, at least. The one place where he does not dare invade with an army, in fear of the loss of many lives, is the home of the Void itself. The place where they are strongest, the place known as Earth. To prevent the deaths of many Saints, he would go alone. Of course, he would achieve his other goal in the process. Harem. He had always dreamed of it. The loli, the tsundere, the mature, naughty girl. Oh! How he longed to have a harem. All these damned years conquering the Universe but not a single damn girl in his harem yet! Words could not describe his frustration. How sad he was. How pained! Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. His goal to have a harem was a higher priority than eliminating the Void. Yet he could not achieve it! So many worlds in this Universe. Trillions upon trillions. Yet not a single girl in his harem! To him, a man''s life goal is to achieve a harem. Why has Fate been so cruel? To curse him without a harem! Why does one live without one? Every single one of his generals have a harem. Yet he, the king does not! He has always believed none of that bullshit known as monogamy. True men dabbled in polygamy. Only fools and weaklings and cowards in monogamy. His mission of eliminating the Void is a coverup to establish his harem! Chapter 1: The Brilliant Flash Ayyy! Sorry for the short prologue. I''ll just wave it off by saying I didn''t want to give too much away. :P Well, new chapter. Wasn''t sure how to start this story so.... IDK MAN. ---- Chapter 1 The Saint King, or for now, I shall refer to him as SK, stepped into the brilliant white portal he created out to Earth. With a slight feeling of dizziness, he arrived upon Earth with a brilliant flash of light that blinded everything in the area. Near the area: "My lord! We have detected a fluctuation of mana as well as energy near this area! Should we investigate?" "Mana and energy? Oh! This is a great chance for Serah! Gain some experience, you know?" "What if it''s dangerous? Serah may not be able to survive!" "Yeah? Well, who cares, man. Send her." Remin ReDiot was the head of a family. A large one. In our words, we would call it a gang and he would be the leader. A ''Gangsta''. As for Serah, she could be considered a beauty. However, she was far too vicious to be married off in order to establish ties with other ''Gangstas''. "Are you sure boss?" "Yeah, man." Dear readers, you must be wondering why Remin is totally into ''Ghetto talk''. Well, when he was younger, he once saw a group of gangsters beating up a kid. He thought to himself; "I wanna live the swag life." And here he is, talking like he is truly from the ghetto, although he is actually from a rich family, and pretending to be swag and such. He even dropped out of school, claiming; "Too cool for school." In other words, he thinks he''s a complete badass but everyone thinks he''s simply idiotic as hell. Now then! Back to the story. Therefore, that is how Serah was sent to meet with SK. As Serah walked into the dense forest where SK was currently located, she thought to herself; "Why has father sent me here? Has he become so delusional and retarded that he''s started to imagine things. Geez, I can''t believe such a retard is actually my father." Serah always acted like a vicious, ferocious girl. But in truth, all she wanted was a man she could rely on. The man had to be ''hot'' of course. And nothing like her father. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Suddenly, a rustling noise could be heard in a nearby bush. Serah exclaimed loudly; "Show yourself! I am the daughter of the great Remin ReDiot! If you don''t come out, I shall kill you! I''m a level 10 Mage you know!" Ah! You must be wondering what these "levels" are. Allow me to take the initiative to explain. When one begins the path of getting stronger, there are two things you can practice in: energy or mana. However, the thing is, you do not choose what you practice in, the path chooses you. You either have a talent in energy or mana, not both. This is also what made SK so strong and what allowed him to stand at the peak of the world. He was unique; he had affinity to both energies, allowing him to utilize both in battle and also giving him the benefits of having either while eliminating the cons of each. The two energies cancel each other out, the cons of one are the benefits of the other. A mage will find it hard to do physical activity while an "energist" or someone who practices in the art of Energy will find it hard to use magical abilities. SK could do both, allowing him access to both magic and physical abilities. Making him very OP. Energy practitioners are much rarer than mages, making them much more valued. There were about 100 mages per energist. The Energy levels and Mana levels were the same: 1 to 50 and then Legendary realm. However, the strength of a level 50 mage would not be on par with a level 50 energist because energists naturally had more power which is another reason why they were more valued. Well since that''s all one and done, let''s get back to the story! So pretty much a huge ass magic monster rushed out of the bush and charged at Serah. "Holy shit! That''s a dinoswer! A level 90 magic beast!" Magic beasts were also divided into levels: 1-100 and then onto the Legendary Realm. Normally, a practitioner could defeat a magic beast 1.5x their level. Therefore, Serah could only defeat a level 15 magic beast. However, this one was at level 90. She had no chance. All she could do was run. ---- Note: If I can''t decide on a name for Mr. SK by tomorrow, I''ll post a poll. Thanks for reading bois! Chapter 1.5: Saints Merry Christmas Eve! Or Hannakuh or Kwanzaa. Whatever you celebrate. This is gonna be a short explanatory chapter. Hopefully I can release another one today that actually goes into the story. :D Also, please post comments about what SK''s name could be. :P I seriously have no idea right now. --- Chapter 1.5 Now readers, before we go any deeper into this great epic of how the Saint King began his harem, we must first delve into the concept of Saints. First off, Saints are NOT names given to people who have achieved a certain amount of power or fame or anything. Saints are BORN not reached. Saints are beings that are beyond humans. While humans are only able to practice a single art, Energy or Mana, some Saints are able to practice both. However, these Saints are extremely rare. They often go on to become some of the strongest Saints. Also, Saints have a stronger affinity to each element. They can train much faster than a mere human. If it takes a human 10 years to reach the 20th level of magic, it would only take Saints a single year to reach the 30th level. So pretty much, Saints are OP as hell. Long ago, when humans first began their civilization, they saw Saints. Mistaking them for gods, the Saints soon became objects of worship. The Greek Pantheon was consisted of multiple of the Saint generals. Athena, Zeus, Ares, Hermes were all part of the Saint army. Other Pantheons such as the Indian, the Japanese, every single one were comprised of Saints, the Jewish God Jehovah as well as the Muslim God Allah included. Now, as Saints are OP as hell, no one was able to control every single one of them. Until Mr. SK came along. With his insane powers, he completely decimated those who opposed him and soon ruled over all of the Saint world. He formed soon formed an army. This army was comprised of multiple squadrons of Saints such as the Color Guards (The Red Guard, the Black Guard, the White Guard, etc.), along with the animal Squadrons (Bear Squad, Tiger Squad, Eagle Squad, etc.). However, the people that allowed the Saint army to be so strong were the Generals. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. The Generals were divided in tiers. Tiers 1 to 12. 12 being the weakest and 1 the strongest. Then came the Supreme Generals. These Generals were insanely strong, second to only the Saint King himself. The difference between a General and an average soldier was vast. Even the weakest of Generals were many, many, MANY times stronger than a normal soldier. To become a tier 12 General, one has to pass through the Black Guard. The Black Guard is the level right below the Generals. If someone from the Black Guard can defeat a tier 12 General, then they shall become a tier 12 General. There is an exception to this, however. The strongest ''Guard'' is not the Black Guard, but rather the White Guard. They ride with full white armor on a snow- white horse. It is a truly stunning sight when many of them gather together. The White Guard is under the direct command of the Saint King, they listen to no others. Each person in the White Guard is only slightly weaker than a Supreme General. There are 50 White Guards in total. The difference between each tier of Generals are massive. A tier 11 General can crush a tier 12 like a bug. And a tier 10 could crush a tier 11 the same way. Of course, the Saint King could crush any of them like a bug. In the Prologue, I talked about how it took 10000 years for the Saint King to eradicate the Void. The Void is like the Saints, they can train insanely fast and are extremely strong. They have always been the nemesis of the Saints and the only reason why the Saints were able to overtake the Void was only because of the SK (Saint King, I might use this abbreviation some more). The SK could defeat entire armies with a single stroke of his blade. I repeat, OP as hell. The Void is now based on Earth, constantly fighting the humans. However, they don''t bother to send out anyone exceptionally strong. In battles against humans, only their weakest fighters go out. Most of these weak fighters are crippled by Saints or are not able to train. However, they are still able to defeat some human armies, which is a bit sad. Chapter 2: Appearance Merry Christmas. Enjoy. :o -------- Chapter 2 Serah ran as fast as she could away from that terrifying beast. The beast so strong and OP that even her father would have trouble dealing with it. She silently cursed; "Damn! What the hell is a dinoswer doing in these parts of the woods?" Like any forest, the deeper one gets, the stronger the beasts are. Since dinoswers are considered pretty strong, they are normally found near the center of the forest. (A dinoswer coincidentally looks like a T. Rex). Soon, Serah began to tire out. Her legs started hurting from exhaustion and the dinoswer was still chasing her. There was only one way to defeat the dinoswer: find another beast as strong as it in order to distract the dinoswer. Serah started running towards the center of the forest. Now then, dear readers, you must be wondering what in the world has been happening to Mr. SK. When Mr. SK here first arrived on Earth, he was teleported into the center of the forest, where the beasts are strongest. The beasts there are arrogant. They believe they are the strongest beings in the world. Seeing that Mr. SK seemed like a tasty morsel, they immediately started attacking him. "What annoying pests! Is this the welcome I get? Mere Legendary realm magic beasts attacking me? Who do you think you guys are?" In a few punches, several Legendary realm beasts were lying on the ground, never to breath again. Now then, dear readers, you must be wondering how Mr. SK managed to defeat these Legendary magic beasts so easily if Legendary is ''highest'' realm. Well, the truth is, dear readers, that Legendary is not the highest realm. There are many, many, many realms beyond it. If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. Legendary realm is simply the realm that no human has ever surpassed. Therefore, the humans are under the fallacy that Legendary is the highest. Soon, Mr. SK scared all the beasts off, none of the beasts dared to approach him anymore, fearing the same fate as those who did. Tired from the long travel, Mr. SK traveled a short distance before lying down to take a nap. At the same time, Serah was running for her life. Coincidentally, she was running towards exactly where Mr. SK was. SK soon heard the rumbling of footsteps of the dinoswer. Annoyed, he grumbled; "Who the hell is it this time? Fuck man, I want to sleep so bad." But SK had no choice but to get up and defeat the beast. A few miles away, Serah was close to giving up on life. She knew that she had almost no way to outrun this beast and there was also no way to fight it. She was also running towards the center where even stronger beasts were. Suddenly, a great flash of light pierced the dinoswer, killing it instantly. Serah simply stood there dumbfounded. Who could have the power to kill a level 90 magic beast so easily? Could this be a Legendary realm expert? A voice suddenly came out of the forest; "Wow. That beast was so damned weak and he even dared the disrupt my sleep." Yes, indeed, this voice belonged to Mr. SK himself. Serah looked at him. So powerful and so beautiful. Indeed, SK was a very handsome man. With blond hair going down to his shoulders along with those enchanting blue eyes and golden tan skin. Soon, SK spotted the trembling Serah, "Why are you looking at me like that? Go to sleep, girl." Instantly, exhaustion claimed her and Serah fell into the darkness known as sleep.
