《Re:Savior Or ærdéaþ》 Tricked! Death. A man with long flowing blue hair that looked like flames armed in pitch black armor colored by crimson blood with rune circles in the middle and blue energy coming out of it was walking slowly towards thousands of people armed with mighty weapons and high classed armor yet showed no fear on his face instead looking forward at the one who stood out the most the woman with short crimson hair and emerald eyes, the longer he looked at her the more regret that showed up in his eyes yet he sent it all away and drew his greatsword enchanted by lighting from The Dragons themselves that had served him in his many life and death battles that he had faced during his life. This man''s name was Jett Tyndall the world he was born in was called Aesoth many different races walked the continent from beast to man, but the most powerful races were The Humans they have the most numbers and also have the second largest amount of territory among the many races yet only weakness were that they were inferior compared to the other races by themselves therefore needed to form parties with each other to pose a real threat, formerly enslaved by The Gods yet regained their freedom with the help of a loner demigod called Ravindra displeased at serving The Gods any longer due to their tyrant acts, in which he blessed humans with the ability to control fire and changing the most powerful of them into demigods with the ability to control sunlight like himself resulting with the rebellion called The Birth of Flame rising up against the gods with their larger numbers driving them back to The Void a plane devoted of all life. The second strongest race was The Sun Elves Beautiful, kind, and yet prideful beings who live forever if not killed they kept to themselves unless provoked preferring not to take any life yet when push came to shove were one of the worse opponents to have to face due to their close friendship with nature that surrounded all the kingdoms expect The Horde Kingdom aided by their talent in wind and water magic they were a powerful force if met in battle, the first Elf was seen shortly after The Gods were driven out of the mortal realm many scholars suspected that they were the spawn of a union between a nymphs and a god due to their close ties to nature and abnormal water talent but the only thing denying that were The Elves didn''t worship the banished gods but instead a very ancient and powerful elf who''s body looked like he was human yet his facial features resembled that of an elf. The Third Strongest Race were The Dwarfs they were short and not very fast in the speed department, but in terms of close range combat strength they were one of the best if not the best with their powerful bodies that was like hitting iron and if trained further steel aided by a layer of armor they were war machines meant for battle with their axes and warhammers in hand, the dwarfs were on the continent of Aesoth long before even the elves and humans yet were not noticed by The Gods due to mostly staying underground in their caves much preferring not to stick their noses in the arts of magic or politics, yet with their amazing crafted weapons and defensive walls it was not long before they signed an alliance with the humans agreeing to sell their crafts in return for special materials only found on ground. The Fourth Strongest Race were the Sirens they were beautiful maidens of the sea protected by their guardians called the Sea Serpents descendants of dragons armed with powerful blasts of water that would rip to shreds any ships attempting to conquer the sea like paper, not much information is known about the Sirens and their guardians called the Sea Serpents expect that they work much like a monarchy where a queen is chosen to rule the Sea once every seventy years they''re put through a test in which they have to receive the blessing of a Sea Serpent Clan leader who would become their fiance upon succession if more than one person receives a blessing then the two are to meet in battle with their Sea Serpent Guardian at their side the winner receives the seat of Queen. The fifth and weakest race was The Horde many different races who weren''t as friendly and civilized as the other races banded together in one continent in which the Emperor seat changes hands often due to the horde members being territorial and only viewing strength as the ability to rule therefore most rulers generally only last 10 years if lucky 20, the horde is made up out of many races but the most noticeable are The Orcs, Goblins, Demons, Kitsune, The Black Eyed People who resemble humans but aren''t quite.... and the race currently in control of the Horde continent The Dark Elves originally Sun Elves who went against their nature of not getting involved in conflicts unless attacked first were cursed by nature banished to The Horde Continent in which they wouldn''t be attacked on sight by all of nature and her followers and their allies. In this Continent in which strength would grant you respect, loyalty, fame, and wealth Jett was only the son of a mere farmer helping his parents make gold for their meals and his little sisters future yet his destiny was changed when he came across a small bean that he though contained food like all beans that he bought back home from the farm others would call this boy crazy yet he had no education to speak of since his birth how would he know what a treasure he found. (Example of the Egg http://i.imgur.com/ZYgawIV.jpg) When he ate the bean due to feeling a bit hungry after giving his share of food to his little sister, he felt his entire body jump it was as though he was shocked by lighting immediately he passed out, when he awoke his former blonde hair turned blue and grew longer he was able to feel a strange sensation in his body whenever he released it powerful thunder would shoot out, this was something new to him for a boy at the age of 12 this scared him yet intrigued him a bit when he was much younger he dreamed of being a hero like the ones told of in books saving princesses and slaying Demon Lords. It wasn''t into he grew much older and wiser did he learn that the bean he ate was the youngling belonging to an ancient dragon after eating the bean he gained a bond with it''s mother making it mistake him for it''s new born after being trained by the dragon for five years during which the dragon attempted to make him fly by throwing him off a cliff in which he barley survived due to this he became a living monster from this training and was able to gain a high rank in the human kingdom providing good education for his little sister and giving his parents some rest from taking care of him and her for so long. This was also at the time when The Demon God came back to the continent of Aesoth with a few of his fellow gods seeking to reclaim the land for themselves, after a hard fought battle Jett with the rest of his party came face to face with the Demon God. (Jett POV) ¡°Demon God your kind isn''t welcomed here, we humans have long ago calmed freedom for ourselves we no longer need you to hold our hands mankind will evolve on their own we refuse to be trapped within your chains.¡± The Demon god only coldly snorted and shot out with his weapon in hand looking like a reaper of death Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. I quickly parried it and countered with a move of my own that took me countless months of training my body shivered as blue aura surrounded me when I felt that it was at it''s maximum I thrusted forward my blade near the neck of the Demon God, it managed to hit but when the Demon God Noticed he was leaking blood it was too late as his head was removed from his neck, yet something didn''t seem right I saw my daughter with my trademark blue hair and her mothers emerald eyes having trouble with the Demon Gods''s Ally I quckly ran towards her intending to get her free out of that choke hold. ¡°Angela!¡± my childhood friend who grew up with me in my village Alan had his longsword back in his hand, but I doubted that he would be able to get the job done in time so I had no choice but to expend more thunder magic then I would prefer to kill that Demon God, there was no way in hell I would let my daughter die here depressing her mother with saddness. ¡°Stand back,¡± I told him, and formed a three-foot force mythical blade covered with red lighting magic extending from my fingertip infused with blood. I hacked the Demon apart with a few quick strokes, and Angela tore herself free. But by then Alan was struggling with a vile clump of poisonous vines that dropped from the tree over his head due to the Demon God''s second in command special skill I cut him free too and we ran. From there every step was a battle with one of the Demon God''s lackeys there were more than I was expecting but I was able to make quick work of them and turned back around to the Demon god''s second in command to finish the job. As I bought forward my great sword infused with thunder magic enchanted by my blood I quickly threw it towards his head, he was able to backstep it a bit but I was able to make a spin and grabbed my sword midair slashing it downwards managing to slice off his head. The Demon God''s army wouldn''t die this easily without even putting up a fight, I hadn''t even needed to use my strongest technique, that''s when I realized... ''Shit!'' When I awoke from the illusion everyone was looking at me as though I was some kind of mad man below me were my comrades that I traveled together with during my adventuring days it felt like it was just yesterday that we all agreed on our party name and sough off to face The Demon God yet here I was instead of killing The Demon God I had my friends and even...my daughters blood on my hands, when I regained my senses I could hear people shouting curses at me across the room. ¡°Jett what happened to you! I looked up to you as my hero yet you killed everyone and let The Demon God escape...¡± I couldn''t help but to lower my head when I looked at that blonde haired youth who reminded me of myself expect he was a half elf youth, turning towards the short dwarf old man with his nails in his hands dropping blood broke my heart when I heard the words from his mouth. ¡°Jett...I thought you were the chosen one who was supposed to kill The Demon God and his army not join him but..even if we were old friends I won''t allow you to leave this place alive, everyone attack this fiend even if we all die let''s take him down with us!¡± Hearing those words I only blocked out their faces and got back into the role of a merciless mercenary I was no hero, I was only a work for hire I won''t allow myself to feel a thing even if I have to kill everyone here I''ll seek revenge against that damned Demon God. When I saw the old man try to stab me with his black hook in his missing hand socket I couldn''t help but to chuckle as I remember when he lost it due to not cleaning off the wound on his hand when told to what would happen he of course just said that nature will heal it in time. As I backstepped him and gave him a clean sweep with my foot to his head I dodged passed the horribly trained elf boy and made myself towards the exit only I didn''t expect her to block my path...that''s right my wife the mother of my own child, the others I could kill with the excuse of doing this all for the revenge of my companions yet her I was unable to do a thing to her, I did how would I face our daughter in the afterlife. ¡°Sakurai get out of my way....I''m going to revenge our daughter.¡± She only coldly looked at me and said. ¡°Jett I won''t be fooled I watched you for many years and saw you kill friends without blinking an eye when they become a hindrance or enemy to you in your hunger for fame and wealth.¡± I couldn''t help but to think back to my life, when I first started out I was just a farmers boy dreaming to become a hero yet I didn''t have what all heroes had and that was honor...yes I was honorless merciless a cold blooded killer if so I''ll continue with this role given to me I''ll abandon the path of a hero and proceed down this dark road. ¡°Sakurai for the sake of our daughter I''m asking you to step out of my way if not then I''ll have to do something that I''ll regret.¡± Something looked like it broke inside her as he eyes became empty as she took out a scroll and chanted words in some foreign tongue, only one thing came our that I understood and that was..... ¡°Punish!!¡± ''Shit!'' A dark cage started to surround me I tried to slash it apart with my lighting yet it made no effect and I was slowly trapped in the cage losing consciousness, yes I remember now this scroll I found it in a dungeon that I conquered during my time as an adventurer I gave it to her in order for her to be able to protect herself never would I have expected for her to use it on me her own husband. When I awoke I found myself locked in a dark room that smelled of piss, rotten flesh, and blood. Slowly a light started to reveal itself in front of me who were there was a man with long flowing black hair and violet eyes...who was he I remember his face yet I can''t pinpoint it... next to him was a woman who looked like him expect her pupils were pure white they started to grab me and bought me outside of the room into the public with the sun getting into my eyes, I felt my beard rolling across the floor as I was sat upon the execution grounds in which I would be beheaded. The devilish young man with violet pupils and the beautiful woman next to him were looking at me with smiles on their faces, without even speaking I could hear a few words from the devilish youth what he said shocked me I finally remembered his face as I tried to use my lighting I felt as though it was sealed shut not a tiny bit leaked out it seemed that my wife told them the weakness to my lighting and that was if the weather wasn''t right I wouldn''t be able to use my power to it''s full potential, once every day in a month I would be close to powerless, but what he said to me was... ''Jett thank you.'' END Thanks for reading the first chapter of this series leave your thoughts down below on what I can improve on. Rebirth, Blessings. ''Jett thank you.'' Hearing these words I was shocked but wasn''t given any time to think about it before that damned butcher bought that axe down towards my head I wasn''t given a moment to respond what was I a man covered in blood without my lighting magic nor any of my gear on me supposed to do against a man twice my size. As it was nearing my head I could see it suddenly stop as a blonde haired man walked out from within the crowd. ¡°Jett Lord of Sunset Valley you''re sentenced to death for the murder of your fellow man and aiding The Demon God in his escape.¡± Instantly that axe came upon my head taking it clean off slowly I could see people I knew within that crowd The Old man, that elven youth and even my wife yet they held no sadness in their eyes only anger seeing that my heart started to jump yet before I could let it out my mind started to fade to darkness.....
User: 2o1 wishes to reincarnate you Yes:No
¡­.User reincarnate what the hell does that mean? Screw it I got nothing to lose. ¡°Yes!!¡± I blacked out once again, when I awoke all I could see was total darkness this lasted for a while during which I entertained myself by thinking back to when I worked on the farm with my parents and seeing my daughter grow up from when she was just a child thinking of that made me want to shed tears but none came out I got neither depressed nor happy something about my body changed I felt myself being able to move more and more parts of my body as time passed my surroundings were also wet and slimy but as I got more and more hunger I started to eat that wet liquid it held a sweet yet sour taste. When I ate and drunk more and more of that liquid I started to feel stronger a weird sensation was moving around in my body I tried controlling it yet when I did I would pass out eventually I would awake in which I would restart the process after what felt like months I was able to move it around as I pleased when I tried to move it from out of my body I felt my energy drain yet I could move it around within a limited range after repeating this for a time something happened.

Basic Mana Manipulation Changed to Basic Dark Mana Manipulation
''These boxes again what are they? I''ll ignore it for now but it seems that what I''m using is magic of some sort still Dark Mana only the horde can use that unless can''t be.'' Pushing those thoughts to the back of my head I once again got back to trying to control my mana and use it within different ways I absorbed the mana surrounded me and released it trying to increase the amount of mana I can withstand, I repeated this for a few months into something strange happened. Giant hands grabbed me pulling me from my shelter, instantly the light from outside got into my eyes when I blinked a couple of times and looked at the one holding me it was a red eyed pointed eared man with a hint of platinum blonde hair while the rest was a shining silver and his eyebrows were pointing up while his eyelashes were longer than usual for a man beyond that he had a slender build yet giving off an imposing aura, from what I saw during my travels and dealing with a couple of bandits I would say that this man was a dark elf his shining red eyes and pale skin fit completely. This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. He held neither a smile nor a frown on his face instead it was only indifference from behind me I could hear a woman shouting her lungs out at the man, she had long black hair and bright Lavender eyes enchanted by her beautiful sunny skin and pointy ears even with tears rolling down her face it was unable to decrease her beauty if anything it only helped boost it. I wasn''t able to understand anything the woman nor the man said due to them speaking in elven and not the human language, but whatever they were talking about must be an important subject since The Sun Elf kept crying in anger at The Dark Elf only sending him insults, then she turned towards me and chanted some words in an ancient language
Blessing Of The Sun God Gained!
expect he didn''t even wait for her to finish before he grabbed me and went towards his horse, pulling down his cloak and hiding me within it before he he set off. I saw the sun falling down revealing the moon in which The Dark Elf man''s skin started to glow he also like her started to chant some words in another ancient language
Blessing Of The Moon God Gained!
we traveled for over a day into we arrived in a chaotic and sand covered area nothing like the place we were at previously with it''s shining sun and it''s beautiful flowers instead this place was it''s polar opposite Red Skies a Black moon and sand everywhere alas as the dark elf was heading towards the gates I could see two figures wearing armor with pitch black eyes pupils and iris alike they looked like they belong to the The Black Eyed People race an evil bunch filled with petty murders and thieves. The Elven man only flashed a badge giving off a chilly yet deadly aura shocking the two black eyed men next to each other yet they managed to quickly bow and move out of the way the elven man only casually walked into the castle carrying me in his robe due to how small I was, still my orginal body was never this size and I don''t seem to be missing a head I must have been reborn again if what I''m thinking is true then this man is my father and that elven woman must have been my mother. ''Shit! Out of all the races I''m reborn as it''s an elf with their weak bodies it''ll take me ages to relearn all my former swordsmanship, what''s worse is that I''m part Dark Elf hopefully I don''t resemble them much otherwise it''ll be troublesome when I leave the Horde Continent.'' As I was lost in my thoughts the elven man who I assume is my father handed me over to a maid with crimson hair enchanted by her fox ears she bought me into a room with a bunch of screaming and crying brats I saw creatures of all sizes some were two handled like myself while others had three or even four arms, let''s not even mention the giant orc babies in the room pfft. Rather than drooling on myself like the rest of these kids I''ll better spend my time training I haven''t forgotten the smirk on that demon bastard face yet. END The Pit! Ill Devour You First! POV Kaiser Dragontooth ''My name is Kaiser Dragontooth an orc and proud sub-general of the horde as usual at this time of the day I was in charge of training the four-ten year old horde children inside the pit depending on how well they do I would mark em down as a potential horde recruit of course we don''t just accept anyone to join the horde if we did then most would die to Maneating insects or desert sandworms only those who proved themselves worthy through battle bathing in their enemies blood and earning the respect of their peers with some merits under their belts would truly be able to call themselves part of the horde.'' *slash* ''In the bottom of my eye I saw one who stood out the most to me among the bunch at age four armed with a spear unlike the rest of the weaklings around her she held neither the strong build of an orc or the overwhelming arm strength of a Cyclops though what she did possess over the others was intelligence and her swordwork I''d dare say that she was taught by a master if I didn''t know better though I''m unsure of who exactly she''s the spawn of from the looks of her she seems to have Kitsune blood in her veins though her vampiric skin and crimson eyes makes me unsure, I''d say she would make a powerful warrior if developed properly for now she''s much too bony and pale giving off the feeling of needing to be protected with another year of training she''ll be ready for the pit death matches.'' *boom* ''As I was focusing on the Kitsune I noticed that one of the wooden dummies were blown to pieces turning towards it was age five Jarogniew the one with the most potential among this group he was a halfbreed fathered by one of our orc chieftains and one of his whores, his eyes and skin alike were a deep green while his hair was completely white he held scars all over his body yet the most noticeable one was the scar near his cheek that he gained from fighting one of the bear clans boys heh the battle was amazing filled with blood and gore he should honor that scar with pride it''s filled with glory so much glory that our former lord even personally named the boy.'' (Example of Jarogniew> http://i.imgur.com/rW14oPf.jpg?1 ) ''And last but not least that disgusting dark elf brat his kind shouldn''t be anywhere near my pit here we train our bodies and swordsmanship not magic tricks, hmph...eh can''t be he''s trying to lift that iron greatsword HA! At that age I could barley carry a wooden greatsword after weeks of training let alone an iron one on my first try, it won''t hurt to watch him horribly fail then I''ll step in and give him a speech of how his race isn''t meant for close combat otherwise if the opposite was true how would the Dark Elves even gotten close to conquering the horde, if not for that arrogant bastard on their side with his abnormally powerful magic they would have been stopped at our front doors, alas no point in crying about it The Dark Elves reign will soon be over once The War begins again.'' Jett POV ''From my time in the horde continent I have to say that it''s much different from my human kingdom rather than taking care of their young they throw them in either the Pit or Nightshade Tower in which they''ll practice either close combat tactics and train their bodies or practice dark magic and summoning the worse part is that we aren''t even given names unless we survive our training in the Pit or Nightshade Tower'' ''That orc Kaiser who hates my guts for whatever reason mostly said that only The Strong have a right to a name and the weak should just disappear therefore he makes all the recruits fight against each other to leave only the strongest alive lucky for me I haven''t had to fight in any death battles mostly because only those age 4 and up fight as for myself I have been in these pits since I was 1 day old that silver haired man who I assume is my father hasn''t come to visit me in years. ''That reminds me right now I''m three years old in a month I''ll be turning four therefore I have dedicated myself to strengthening my body and to be able to wield the greatsword again before the time comes for my first life and death battle of course I could send the dark mana inside myself towards my arms to boost my arm strength but I would rather train my own body strength if my magic is ever not useable I learned my lession in my past life when I was unable to use my lighting magic when that butcher robbed me of my head.'' ''All the wooden greatswords were taken therefore I simply went towards the Iron one I''m confident in being able to wield a wooden sword but iron is another matter but as they say you can''t tell how good you are without facing a hard challenge, I grabbed it with all my might pulling it off the ground a couple inches before I dropped it due to lack of strength, as I spit on the ground I only let out a couple of words that those near to me could hear.'' Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Shit!¡± ''As I was cursing in my mind I saw that orc coming towards me with a smug smile on his face no doubt trying to rub it in my face telling me another one of his shitty stories about how I should go to the Nightshade Tower to learn magic, but then a funny idea came to me how would he react if I a mere three year old was able to lift an iron sword at this age.'' ''I closed my eyes drawing out that dark mana that''s sealed within me taking from that large pool of energy sending it towards my back and arms feeling myself empowered with strength I reached towards the iron greatsword lifting it far above me.'' POV Kaiser Dragontooth ''As expected that brat wasn''t even able to barley lift the Iron greatsword off the ground feeling in a graceful mood I made my way over to him preparing a speech on how puny creatures like Dark Elves weren''t made for swordsmanship something unexpected happened with a glint in his eyes his hands ran towards the Iron greatsword easily lifting it all the ground, I couldn''t help but to whisper a few words with shock in my eyes.'' ¡°Im...impossible....how..how could you a three year old let alone a dark elf lift up that Iron sword it took me into I was ten to lift it with such ease....¡± (Do you even lift bro?) ''The boy only looked me in the eyes with a smile on his face that had pride written all over it saying a few words. ¡°You were the one who said that Dark Elves weren''t made for close combat fortunately I''m an exception, you really need to brace up on your knowledge don''t you teacher?¡± ''Hearing those words I was enraged humiliated by a mere child and in front of my men with those other brats laughing as well he must learn that there are those you cannot offend it seems I''ll have to punish him somehow, hmph we''ll see if he''s still so high and mighty tomorrow.'' Jett POV ''Heh it was worth it seeing that fat orc run off with his tail between his legs was satisfying, but enough of that I drew too much attention to myself I should get back to training.'' ¡°So you can also use an iron sword huh? How about a spar?¡± ''As I was doing pushups I saw a white haired boy over me he looked like an orc yet resembled a human his eyes were filled with excitement yet he looked to be much older than me as my body is right now I''m not confident in being able to defeat those who can lift Iron swords without replying on magic such as myself.'' ¡°I would love to spar with you but unfortunately I''m afraid that I lack the experience.¡± When I said that a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes but it quickly disappeared. ¡°Is that so huh? Well I guest I should introduce myself first I''m called Jarogniew Lionheart son of Vagrungad Lionheart.¡± ''As I was about to tell him my name I remembered that only those who proved themselves in the Pit are allowed a name.'' ¡°I haven''t earned a name in the pit yet, but you can call me Jett if you''d like.¡± ¡°Well met Jett I''m sure with your talent you''ll be able to earn yourself a name as well one day.¡± ''We talked a bit more and then bid our farewells, going towards my small room that barley had the items needed to survive I laid down onto my fur bed and embraced the darkness while slowly training my Dark Mana while I rested.'' "Wake up weaklings! Head to the yard a few of you''re going to enter the pit to do battle." ''Hearing one of the guardsman shouting about a few people heading into the pit I hurriedly woke up.'' ''As I grabbed a couple of pieces of meat that were left on the table for everyone to eat I heard an announcement from that orc Kaiser.'' ¡°All those with their names called out shall battle in the Pit first... Jarogniew Lionheart! Vlad The Impaler! Demien Keeling! Grim Fade! Pitchman Greytooth! Violet Morgan! Ymo Blackwood! Raphael Kellman! Samuel Morelli! Norrix Moriarty! And last but not least The newcomer of Elven Blood! The Dark Elf" ''Hearing this the piece of meat in my mouth fell right out I knew that I wasn''t ready in the least to fight in the pit without my magic so I strengthened my resolved and decided to go all out you want to devour me then I''ll devour you first!.'' END Training, Cheat Ability. The orc slightly turned towards my direction and said. ¡°For the newcomer I''ll explain the rules there will be a total of 5 matches in the arena between two fighters you can either choose to kill your opponent or spare them none the less everything goes in the pit arena for victory as long as it''s done by your hands, who ever wins all matches proceeds to the finals to fight last years champion Jarogniew Lionheart the reward this time around is an enchanted item called Shapeless it can transform to any shape that the owner wishes whether a weapon or armor hell you could even transform it into a pocketwatch the potential behind this weapon lies in the way you use it and your imagination.¡± ¡°The first match will be Violet Morgan vs Demien Keeling!¡± ¡°The Second match will be Ymo Blackwood vs Raphael Kellman¡± ¡°The third match will be Grim Fade vs Pitchman Greytooth¡± ¡°The Fourth match will be Samuel Morelli vs Norrix Moriarty¡± ¡°And the Final match shall be Vlad The Impaler vs The Dark Elf!¡± The orc slightly coughed and said. ¡°Dismissed! All of you meet back here at noon today any later and punishments shall be given out.¡± With that we all went our separated ways but there was now a new problem in front of me I had to get Intel on my opponent and badly if I''m not prepared I''ll die before I have even begun my best bet would be the slums where the local bullies hang out at, after searching around a bit I found a shady looking dark eyed boy playing with a couple of pitch black dices in his hands, he had a creepy grin on his face as he threw the dices around as I was about to walk past him he said a few words. ¡°I heard that you''re looking for information about Vlad The Impaler.¡± I slightly raised my eyebrow in response and said. ¡°How did you know that? And if I am?¡± The boy only laughed and said. ¡°Anyone would be able to figure that out when you been going around asking everyone in plain sight about it, but I could recall something about that Vlad The Impaler if you make it worth my while.¡± I threw a couple of silver tags that are used as currency in here you could exchange them for clothes, weapons, armor or even less upstanding items alas he caught them in his hands and chuckled as he begin to talk. ¡°All I know about Vlad The Impaler is that he made his debut a few months ago slightly after our Golden Boy Jarogniew demonstrated his might in the pit arena last year during which Vlad earned his name by using deadly methods such as poisons to make his opponents feel pain that would make anyone want to kill themselves let alone the scary idea of watching your skin fall off of your face if anyone survived his attacks he would then begin to use his actual weapon a scythe that was gifted to him by his father with a vampiric bloodsucking enchantment if someone stronger than him were to get through that then he would try to trick you into not killing him during which he would blackstab you with one of his daggers dipped in his poison.¡± The boy took off the bandages covering the other side of his face and said. ¡°Here''s what happens if you underestimate that sneaky bastard don''t show any mercy and cripple em for me otherwise you''ll end up like myself with a burned up face, but as a bonus I''ll advise you not to kill Vlad if you do no one can save you after all his father is one of The Higher ups in The Horde unlike others if you were to kill his son he would stop at no means possible to kill you in order to get revenge for his son after all his race is rarely able to give birth to a male heir and if they do then that kid dies during birth, so you can understand why he''s so protective of him.¡± Listening to those words I nodded and gave my thanks for now I had to boost my speed quickly and take the measures to deal with that poison after all during my travels in my old life I learned a way to gain immunity against most poisons such as that it most likely came from a green eyed monkey that shoots out spit that burns the fresh and skin while slowly attacking the heart, I''ll have to spend more silver tags to exchange for venom from three different kinds of snakes to reproduce the effect of the spit though. ¡°What do need? We sell dog meat and lizard hearts.¡± Looking at the green eyed man''s wares I found what I needed it was inside a small wooden box with a wide selection of snake venom I picked the red, orange, and purple bottles and gave him 5 more silver tags leaving me left with only 30 silver tags. Heading back to my room I closed the door and make sure no one was going to disturb me after I confirmed there was no one watching who could mess this up I opened the bottles of placed them in front of me as I sat down onto the floor entering into my blood trying to draw out that dark mana inside me I took out almost all of it and quickly drained the bottles of their liquids fusing them with blood steam while controlling my mana to enforce my veins so that it doesn''t damage them suddenly a blue window popped up in my face.

''Heh just you wait you ugly orc I''ll have you at my feet within weeks with this cheat ability of mine.'' I picked up one of the wooden greatswords that I had bought and started to start a motion of swings with my greatsword unlike a normal sword those armed with greatswords aren''t as quick as those with normal swords but with my Roaring Lighting Style that law didn''t affect me in my past light I could move my greatsword as thought it was only a stick quickly taking off the heads of my enemies with only a few quick motions behind my attacks was earthshaking attack power. ''Faster! Faster! Faster!'' I started to swing the greatsword faster and faster while doing spit motions to pull back my attacks and hit at the legs of my ghost opponent who I took as Vlad The Impaler to me his attack style was described as hit and run I dealt with many like him during my life as an adventurer therefore I was able to quickly make a counter to it as I did the motions more and more a feint layer of dark lighting started to surround my body increasing my speed by tenfold within minutes a few blue boxes popped up in my face

Ignoring the many blue windows popping up in my face I blocked everything out and only focused on putting that feint trace of Dark Lighting within my mana pool onto my sword going faster and faster with my thrusts and strikes making quick turns while attacking at that ghostly figures chest yet he made a dodging motion going under me and stabbing at my neck with his blade giving off a murderous and cold red trace of energy but before it connected I made a quick turn of my head as I shot it towards his arm slicing it off as he screamed in the air, he started to back away from he pleading and begging for me to spare him yet as I turned my back and tried to throw some of the poison in his hands at me I only walked through it and stabbed towards his forehead with my blade during which the ghostly figured turned into smoke. ¡°Whoa that was tough I felt pity for a moment my senses must have dulled if I actually fell for his act through this though I can now tell there''s no possible way to spare that treacherous bastard leaving him alive would be like forgiving the demon god himself I refuse to spare Vlad when we face each other I''ll use the same methods that he used on other before I crush his skull with these very hands to hell If his bastard of a father tries to avenge him if he gets in my way I''ll destroy him, there''s no way that I''m gonna be stuck in this remote horde continent I''ll conquer all of the horde and march my way towards the Human Continent with The Horde under my feet to kill that man with these very hands even now I can feel his toxic presences near me with that smirk on his face...¡± ''Shit looking at the sky it''s almost time I''ll check these Blue windows first.''

After quickly closing the windows I made my way towards the arena when I saw that fat orc with a grin on his face. ¡°Listen up weaklings! The Pit Matches Shall Begin Violet Morgan and Demien Keeling make your way towards the square!¡± END Golden Flames! The Battle Begins! Two figures emerged from the both the left and right door, the first person to come out had pitch black skin and yellow eyes while his hair was rough and unruly with spikes behind his back ending in the middle of his head with a horn coming out of it he was shirtless with black ghostly pants on while his hands had cat like claws on them he gave off an oppression feeling. The next person to come out had a mix of violet and red hair with cold crystal like eyes that were a deep red she had a mixture of violet and red clothing on with a violet long staff in her hands resembling that of one a monk would use next to her staff was a tail coming out of her, the two were a good distance apart waiting for the signal to begin both with determination in their eyes. ¡°10....9...8.....7...6...5....4...3...2.......1! Begin!¡± ¡°Who would have thought that we would meet in this place of all locations.¡± ''As I was focusing on the battle about to begin I heard someone call out to me looking at the person closer it was Jarogniew he seemed to be watching this battle as well.'' ¡°Haha well met Senior you''re interested in the battle between these two as well?¡± He only slightly nodded and said with a fierce fire in eyes. ¡°Usually I wouldn''t but there''s someone who interests me that''s fighting in the Pit today. Looking at his eyes it seemed that there was some deep meaning to those words but I didn''t pursue the matter since it didn''t seem like he wanted to talk about it, turning back around to the pit I was shocked. The Black haired boy''s figure disappeared into the air with no trace left of him. Jarogniew as if he could hear the words from my eyes explained. ¡°Many of the newer children inside the Pit Arena like yourself wouldn''t have an idea of what he just used but experts and people like me who fought against it alike would know that what he just used was a bloodline trait called Shadow Merger it belonged to some of The Demon clan members and allowed it''s user to fuse with a shadow within their range of course there''s a weakness to this skill that those who are trained in Light Magic would be able to easily dispel the skill and if your opponent knows what shadow you''re inside of they can easily attack you, which is why most Demons only use the skill if they''re attempting an assassination that is why demons are one of the strongest among the horde.¡± ''As I thought about it more I couldn''t help but voice a concern.'' ¡°You mentioned Bloodline traits but what are they?¡± Jarogniew looked at me like I was a madman. ¡°You''re telling me that you never heard of or used one in your life? Did your trainers in the pit teach you anything?¡± ¡°Now that I think about it that Orc Kaiser never told me any of this.¡± Jarogniew only facepalmed as he started to speak. ¡°Bloodline traits come in two types dominant and recessive traits, Dominant traits are much more common and show up in every member of a race for example Dark Mana Members of the Horde are unable to call upon the Fire or Sun Mana belonging to the Sun God therefore instead we use the Mana of one of the ancient gods called Tsukiyomi she''s the Goddess of The Moon that allows us to call upon Darker Shades of Magic likewise the Other races not belonging to the Horde are unable to use Dark Mana unless certain conditions are met, of course there are different types of Mana but so far they''re unknown to The Horde.¡± ¡°Alas let''s talk about Recessive Traits they''re much more powerful and rarer than Dominant Traits only 10% of a race are born with them most who possess these traits are fated to become Horde Overlords Or generals therefore the horde treats such individuals with care to properly develop them to conquer The Other races, for example The Kitsune we only know of two Recessive Trait belonging to them and that''s their Blue Flames Eternal Fire that can burn anything to ashes, the second more rarer trait that only a few have shown to be able to use are The White Flames you can''t even really call them flames since they''re like actual beings with their own intelligence and desires, the reason as to why White Flame users are so rare is that most children are eaten by The Flames if they don''t possess a strong enough desire whether that is greed, lust, or rage.¡± Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel. Listening to this an idea popped up in my head would it be possible for me to actually use the flames myself if I were to do the required action for them I''d thought about it a bit more and pushed it to the back of my mind for now I had to focus on staying alive above all else only then when I''m safe can I start to experiment I wouldn''t want to set myself on fire. Continuing to listen to Jarogniew he suddenly pointed at something. ¡°To think that I would be able to see such a rare skill in the pit arena.¡± Turning around I saw the girl surrounded in Golden Flames lighting up the entire arena revealing The Raven haired boy hiding in the shadows he had a look of shock on his face as his eyes became ruthless. ¡°Golden Flames! Can''t be another mutation among The Kitsune clan this time Light Magic how?¡± The Raven haired Boy only shouted at the bystanders in annoyance. ¡°Shut up! To think that I would be forced to use this skill in the first match.¡± The boy started to rush towards the flame covered girl as he striked out with his cat like claws. ¡°....¡± slash The girl only coldly looked at him as she used her staff covered in flames knocking the claw attack away while aiming from his legs with a cold snort something green came out of his mouth. ¡°Hmph! Try to dodge this!¡± Spit Green smoke like liquid came out of his mouth towards the females body. ¡°Is that all?¡± The flame covered girl only had ridicule in her eyes as she moved her staff like a golden fan redirecting it back towards the raven haired boy. ¡°Im..impossible!¡± As it started to surround the raven haired boy his skin clearly looked dried up and rough. ¡°Heh.....my own poison won''t work against me....¡± ¡°Give up you can''t win.¡± With madness reflected In his eyes he attacked again with his claws, how could he who was praised as a genius among his peers so easily lose to this girl who was two years younger than him it was impossible for him to lose against her. With pity in her eyes she started to gather flames on her staff as she dodged and shot the spear towards his head removing it cleanly not a single drop of blood on her clothing. ¡°The winner is Violet Morgan Of The Kitsune Clan!¡± Clapping and Cheers could be heard even from outside the pit. ¡°Hmph weaklings! I would''ve ended it in one blow without making so many unnecessary movements.¡± A handsome blonde youth with emerald eyes and white horns pointing outside his skull secretly whispered to himself, this youth was Vlad The Impaler famous for his poisons and vampiric scythe. ¡°No matter I''ll show my brilliance when I wipe the floor with that dark elf trash.¡± The handsome youth only laughed to himself as he walked away. The next couple of matches weren''t nearly as exciting as the one with Morgan in it, but the winners were as following Ymo Blackwood, Grim Fade, and Norrix Moriarty. "The Dark Elf and Vlad The Impaler come to the square As his name was called he gathered his courage and walked forward to face Vlad. Many wondered what The Dark Elf Youth looked like, what they saw wasn''t impressive at all he was short and had a slender build with only a tiny bit of muscle, his eyes were a glowing purple while his hair was completely black with the edges ending in silver, he held a completely black greatsword in his hand while he was wearing only a simple pair of clothing black pants and a leather shirt. Many felt pity for this youth who was going to slowly die in pain. Infront of him was a white clothed handsome youth with blonde hair and a sheathed weapon on his back, while his hands were inside his pockets he didn''t even put Jett in his eyes as he had an arrogant grin on his face. ¡°The battle shall begin between The Dark Elf and Vlad The Impaler fighters you may begin at 0.¡± ¡°10...9...8...7..6..5...4...3....2....1....0! Begin!!¡± END Impaled! Argon The Banished! Two figures were in front of each other one had Black hair and Lavender eyes, while the other was a handsome fellow with Blonde hair and Emerald eyes with a huge grin on his face he only had his hands inside his pockets waiting for his opponent to attack they stayed like that for a few minutes into the Blonde Haired Figure started to speak. ¡°What are you waiting for? Heh I''ll give you ten attacks before I kill you.¡± Jett with only disgust started to speak. ¡°Ten...no all I''ll need is five attacks.¡± ¡°What?¡± Giving Vlad no time to speak Jett only slowly breathed and launched himself at his opponent dark lighting instantly surrounded his body making him look like an angel of death covered with darkness slashing down with his completely pitch black blade with a tint of purple, Vlad only calmly moved out of the way without breaking a sweat. ¡°Ha! You had me for a moment talking so big.¡± Jett only let out a sentence while suddenly changing the direction of his blade. ¡°Aren''t you talking too soon?¡± Boom Vlad was sent flying with dark lighting surrounding his figure many were in disbelief seeing such power from a small boy like Jett yet others thought it was only pure luck, smoke covered the figure of Vlad no one knew what was the result of the attack. ¡°That''s one.¡± Jett with a smile on his face causally said those words as the smoke started to disappear revealing the blonde haired boy''s jacket ruined with a bit of blue blood running down his left arm as he stood up with hatred reflected within those emerald gems in minutes he shouted loudly that all within the square could hear him. ¡°Bastard! I''ll beat you so bad that you''ll wish for me to kill you.¡± White and Green Mana surrounded Vlad as it started to go around the arena killing those too close to it, in response some of the trainers trained in light magic put barriers around the entire square so that the poison only affects those within it. Jett only laughed as he walked right through it with his sword in hand seeing this the Vlad attacked with his scythe in hand attempting to cripple him by going for his legs, Jett in response only pushed forward his foot as he kicked Vlad square in the face. ¡°That makes two!¡± Vlad only had these thoughts In his head ''How could he lose in the first round without making it to the semifinals the only ones who should have been worthy to face him in battle is Jarogniew and Ymo yet this worthless dark elf dared to have injured him impossible!'' Crack Vlad body only started to shine with green and white mana as his skin started to crack open revealing a beast with long white horns and fangs that were the size of a childs arm he was 2-3 meters tall with fur surrounding him, seeing this the crowd exploded. ¡°It can''t be! This young and he has all ready learned how to awaken it took me into I was sixteen.¡± A ghostly figure emerged in the darkness with pitch black hair and a black horn sticking out only let out a laugh as he started to talk. ¡°Impressive! I expected nothing less from my son, especially after I spent so many resources to train him to this level now and forever my clan shall always be number one.¡± This man was Urion Horzion the leader of the Forest Beasts clan, a clan composed of creatures who resemble humans yet are able to change shape into Beasts who live in the forests of course there are limits since the horde continent is devoted of any forests that are under mother-natures control The Forest Beast Clan has a much limited amount of beasts they can take shape into and to even take the form of a beast they would have to see how the beast behaves themselves, which is why Urion spent a large amount of funds to bribe the pit to let him take his Son to the Human continent to find powerful beasts to take the shape of. Both Urion and his son were laughing at this exact moment. ¡°Do you see now the difference between our levels? Heh if you beg on the ground right now I''ll kill you quickly.¡± Jett only spit on the ground as dark lighting started to surround his figure once again as he sprinted forward, Vlad only lightly chuckled at how predictable Jett was being right now trying to defeat him with an up front attack in response Vlad shot his giant fists forward to murder Jett slowly. Boom As his fist hit the ground he felt something wasn''t right and when the smoke was gone Jett only disappeared it was as though he was never there to begin with as he looked around he couldn''t see a thing suddenly he felt pain in his back as though blood was being drained from him, looking down right behind his back was Jett with his greatsword stabbed into him. ¡°Impossible! How did you use Shadow Merger?¡± Jett didn''t even give him a glance as he started hacking into his back throwing meat and blood everywhere. 4 Hours Earlier. While Jett didn''t plan on learning the Blue Flames due to not wanting to set himself on fire or cause another accident before his battle, what he did want to learn was Shadow Merger it would be useful to him during his battle with Vlad catching him off guard to land a life threatening blow. Jett slowly focused his eyes on the shadow of a stone near him trying to enter it yet there was no result, as he started to think back to the duel between Damien and Morgan he recalled that when Light Magic was used on Damien The Black Mana surrounding him disappeared, at that instant he figured out the trick to Shadow Merger it was Dark Mana you had to spread out your mana across to an objects shadow to merge with it, the larger the shadow the more Mana it required yet what it also needed was the unique properties in Demon''s blood but with his Cheat ability that limitation wasn''t pressed upon him.
You Have Gained Innate Skill: Shadow Merger!
Title Unlocked: Copycat
''Title unlocked? Yet another weird window then again after seeing it these many times I''m not even fazed.'' Back to present ¡°That makes 5!¡± Losing that much blood Vlad was unable to control that beast form any longer as he fell to the ground covered in stab wounds exhausted of all mana with pale skin his formerly prideful and arrogant presence was gone replaced with fear and shame. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. ¡°Stop...please spare me I''ll surrender to you my father is a clan leader he''ll give you silver, skill books, anything you want just..don''t kill me!¡± Seeing Jett lower his greatsword made his confidence rise as he waited for Jett to turn around....expect what happened next shocked everyone. ¡°Have you ever wondered what it felt like to be impaled and humiliated by having your body mutated while you''re alive?¡± Hearing this Vlad tried to gather his energy to run away expect Jett was faster as he attacked with his greatsword chopping off an arm while slowly picking up Vlad''s scythe making all the bystanders shocked, the elven boy dared to kill Urion son impaling him with the boys own scythe sending it right through his throat ending outside his back, the scrams that Vlad let loose was like that of a pig while it''s being butchered. Many wondered how powerful this Elven boy would be if he was able to mature especially with showing the use of shadow merger many thought this impossible unless you had demon blood in you but now this was impossible by killing Urions son he was signing his own death contract, what backing did this elven boy have if he dared to kill the only Heir that Urion has. Instantly a ghostly figured shouted loudly as he was covered in black energy like Vlad his skin started to crack as he shot forward flying in the sky with his body the size of a small building with wings and giant lizard like legs the form that he had taken was that of a being who resembled a Dragon yet was a few steps away from achieving that greatness his form was that of a Drake breathing black flames that could eat away at anything it was a level below the white flames yet on the same power scale of the Kitsune Blue flames. ¡°Brat! You dared to have killed my son I won''t let you go without offering your ashes to my son in his grave.¡± The Ghostly drake let loose a fireball filled with powerful flames as he shot it towards Jett giving him no time to respond as it was shot at a speed that couldn''t be seen with the naked eye. Boom The blast connected with something which made many people wonder what happened, but the result was not expected instead of the dark elf being turned into ash the attack was taken head on with not a single kill count indeed Jett was incapable of stopping this attack yet the one who had done the deed was a silver haired man with a hint of blonde on the tip of his hair his face was so beautiful that it was like the gods crafted it themselves by hand, he had crimson eyes shining within the dust resembling Jett when you looked closer at him. ¡°M...my lord what are you doing here in the pits?¡± When people saw this figure they all got on their knees bowing even if they disliked The Dark Elves as a whole they couldn''t afford to show any disrespect to this man who was the strongest mage inside the horde and ranked number 8 among all the continents experts also the current Ruler of the horde, he who was worshiped by The Sun Elves as their god was abandoned by nature and forsaken to The Horde continent with some of his race who was with him during that incident, before when he had not yet arrived to the horde continent they were treated as slaves into he arrived and changed it all, this man''s name was Argon The Banished. ¡°What am I doing here in the pits you say? Who are you to dare ask that of me? Do you think yourself so important that I must tell you everywhere I go?¡± Urion with fear written across his face quickly tried to salvage the situation. ¡°No...lord I only wondered why you would be here in the pits of all places usually you would be in The Elven Continent.¡± ¡°Hmph I was in the Elven continent into I received word of your son and a dark elf battling here in this pit but who would have thought that when your son died your usual gentleness would disappear in an instant instead replaced with arrogance and pridefulness taunting that stolen power of yours around the place, but did you really think that I would allow you to go unpunished after killing everyone here with this blast?¡± Jett at this moment was shocked to think that after all this time he would see this man again and it seemed that everyone was either afraid of him or worshiped him but the one thing they all shared in common was respect for him and the reason why was his power, power let him walk over Urion without giving him any respect, alike Urion was able to walk into the pit square not caring about the rules at all thanks to his power this made Jett resolve even stronger to one day surpass both Urion and this man in front of him, but he was also confused at the comment of Urion using stolen power what did he mean by that? ¡°My lord, I was aiming to kill this dark elf due to him mercilessly impaling my son right in front of me.¡± Argon only coldly chuckled as he spoke. ¡°So? The pit rules state that a fighter can win by any means possible as long as it''s done by their own hands, didn''t your own son do the same to many others? Now that someone has done it back to him you start to get all righteous you seem to forget that In the horde all that matters is strength justice is decided by the strong weaklings like yourself should just disappear before my mood becomes worse.¡± Urion knew better than to argue the matter any longer and silently disappeared carrying his sons body with him more children could be made but if he died then his bloodline was gone yet deep in his mind he wondered what was the relationship between his lord and that dark elf brat, while he couldn''t directly kill The Dark Elf now that Argon has his eye on the kid he could indirectly cause it as he thought about all the ways of going about it he silently laughed. Neither of the two powerful men sensed the radiant masked golden clothed figure watching the entire scene before disappearing only letting out a single word as she looked at Jett but anyone who heard it would attack the woman for mentioning the term. ¡°So that''s the ?rd¨¦at interesting.¡± When Argon confirmed that Urion disappeared he went towards the ground grabbing Jett and disappearing, they flew for over 20 minutes into ending up at a mysterious location covered by a blue moon, he threw Jett on the ground swify yet softly at the same time, as Jett was about to open his mouth Argon spoke before him. ¡°Who are you using my son''s body fiend?¡± END
