The Age of Horrors

"What... are you saying that such a monster exists, that it is not affected by your Level 5 Lightning Spear, 'Brown', who exactly is this monster?" The voice came from a middle-aged man with black hair and eyes wearing silver armor

"Yes, you in particular, 'Hee', will know what I'm talking about because you have seen and experienced the power of my spear several times when we trained, it was a real monster, no, that might be an understatement" 'Brown' began to remember the malicious smile that was on the face of the 'Demon of Despair', so he frowned and said, "That was a demon", then he gathered himself and continued his speech, "Ah, as I remember, the Ant-Man I told you about called him the Commander"

"The Commander? Does that mean that he is one of the commanders of the armies that attacked the empire, no one other than you has met another commander, so if that is true, then it means that there are others with the same power as him or perhaps more" This time, an old man answered him, but he was Full of life and wearing silver armor as well

Brown replied, "Coming to think of it, that might be true, Master 'Charlie'."

After hearing his words, everyone present was shocked and silence once again fell in the great hall, just thinking that a monster like this existed made everyone tremble with fear, but for there to be so many like him, what kind of curse had been brought down upon them. Another person with a silver shield also continued, “But how could this happen, we all know that the ‘Heavenly Protection Barrier’ surrounds all the places where the monsters are located, and the barrier cannot be penetrated, this is how it has been for millions of years.”

While everyone was discussing, someone knocked on the door, and a servant opened it and found a soldier, “What do you want? There is an important meeting now.”

“No, actually, the report is urgent and His Majesty the Emperor and the generals must be informed of it as soon as possible.”

“Let him in.” The voice came from the Emperor and the servant immediately bowed, saying, “I hear and obey.”

The soldier entered and knelt down slightly in front of the audience on one knee and then said directly, “We have received news that my empire received an attack from the ‘Fierce Winds’ and the ‘Raging Waves’ yesterday, and not only that, but those who attacked them were strange monsters.”

“What did you say? Is that true?” General Charlie from earlier spoke again, continuing, “This confirms to us that yesterday’s attack was not somehow orchestrated by one of them. Are you telling me that someone would have the audacity to attack the three empires occupying the world? Isn’t that as if he were attacking the entire world? But who exactly is this idiot who would dare to do this?” “Also,” the soldier continued his report, “some of the survivors of the attack said that they saw a strange circular object in the sky and many shadows began to appear through it just before the attack, and the news that came from the two empires also says that there are some survivors who said the same thing.”

Everyone was completely shocked, and in a terrified voice, General ‘Charlie’ said, “We may be facing something bigger than we imagined, Your Majesty the Emperor, I suggest that we quickly request a meeting with both empires and talk about this with them, if there is an enemy who dares to attack the three empires whenever he wants, we must be well prepared.”

The Emperor began to think for a while, then after a few minutes, he gave the order, “Send an envoy to both the ‘Raging Waves’ and ‘Fierce Winds’ empires.”

(In a village in the far south of the ‘Glowing Waves’ empire, near the common border with the ‘Raging Waves’ empire)

‘Opening….. Opening…. Opening’ (The sound of a baby being born)

There was a dilapidated house from which came the sound of a baby crying while His mother was carrying him, after a few minutes he suddenly started to shine with a bright light forcing both the mother and the lady who was with her to close their eyes but after a few minutes, the light weakened little by little until it became very dim and as soon as this happened he entered their house which you could hardly call the house of an old man with many wrinkles and long hair and beard and his eyebrows grew until they reached his empty cheeks

That lady went to him and asked him "What do you want, Grandpa?"

The old man did not look at her at all and instead looked at the child who was in his mother's arms while mumbling something that that lady did not understand

"Grandpa, are you lost? "Sorry, but you can wait a little bit, I am very busy. As you can see, we have a new baby."

The old man raised his right hand and passed it over the woman's face, causing her to lose consciousness immediately. Then he headed towards the mother, who was shocked by what had happened moments ago, while calling the name of the woman who had fallen in front of her, "Samira?" She hugged her child tightly, trembling as she said, "Please don't do anything to my son. I will do anything, except my son. Please, please don't hurt him."

But the old man did not listen to her at all, and while she was pleading, he was slowly advancing until he reached her. The old man raised his hands towards her and touched her forehead with the index finger of his right hand, causing her to faint as well. Then he placed the same hand on the child's head, causing the newborn to begin to shine again, but this time much stronger than before. The old man began to say something as if he was chanting a spell.

"Oh chosen one, the last child, this power will bring you good and bad, however, you will have to endure, all this in order to preserve Balance

After he finished speaking, he shouted, "Seal", all the light that surrounded the infant began to gather around the old man's hand and then entered his body all at once through his forehead

"Of all places, for someone from the weak world to be the weakest world of all the main worlds, how ironic, we will meet again when you are ready, goodbye chosen one"

The old man turned and disappeared in the blink of an eye

15 Years Later

"Okay, I'm going, mom." The voice came from a boy carrying a backpack and crimson hair, with red eyes.

"Good bye, 'Basil'. And take good care of 'Anmar', she is your dear childhood friend. Ah, I think she is the only friend you have anyway, hohohoho"

The boy answered his mother with a bored look on his face: "I don't need any friends. And she is not my friend. She's just been following me since we were little."

"That's right, aunt, we're not friends, we're engaged, each one of us has pledged to marry the other." This time, a beautiful girl with long, breathtaking golden hair and blue eyes like the vast sky answered her.

The bored look on Basil's face disappeared to a look of surprise: "Huh? What are you saying, you imaginary fool? When did I promise you something like this?"

'Anmar' answered him with a slight smile, her eyes closed: "Come on, come on. Are you pretending to be ignorant?"

Basil started to get annoyed and answered her in a loud voice: "Huh? What ignorance are you talking about? What didn't happen didn't happen, so stop telling people this nonsense."

Tears began to gather in Anmar's eyes, and when the mother saw that, she shouted at Basil, saying: "Basil, I know that you would feel ashamed if this was said to you in front of another person, but don't raise your voice like that in the face of someone you promised to marry." The mother began to pat Anmar's head to ease her pain, but at that moment a wide smile appeared on Anmar's face.

Basil replied while pointing his finger at Anmar: "Look, mom. She's laughing. She's deceiving you. She's not crying. They're just crocodile tears."

The mother looked at Basil and said angrily: "Aren't you ashamed of yourself? That your future wife is crying and instead of comforting her, you call her a fraud. I don't remember raising you like that."

A bored look returned to Basil's face and he gave up trying to correct the matter, then muttered: "Calling her a fraud?" Calling her a cheat is a nice word to use when describing her.” Then he said, “Well, never mind, we’re late, let’s go now.”

“Well.” Anmar agreed and the mother continued, “I’ll say it again. Take good care of Anmar; a person doesn’t know the true value of something until he loses it.” The mother said as she placed Anmar on her chest and treated her tenderly while a sad look appeared on her face.

“Then see you, mother.” “See you, aunt.”

“See you, my dear children,” the mother replied with tears in her eyes, “Take care.”
