The Lost Crown

Prologue:

"Time created life and death, and with that they created the universe."

— Go and create life throughout the universe, kill and destroy everything and the balance will be in balance. — said the weather.

Billions of years later.

I was born on the Larcadia continent, here as anywhere in this world there are many magical and very different creatures, I am a mercenary, don't get me wrong, I fulfill my missions to survive the day to day, I grew up in an orphanage, no I met my parents and learned that they were killed by the elves, basically I don't care about that and just think about me, we mercenaries, we have two codes: - You will not abandon the mission you were given, regardless of which one - so I I will never be able to cancel a mission contract that I signed and another one, each one knows its limits and risks, the other code is - You will never cheat - we have a rank of mercenaries and completed missions, the higher the rank of the mission the more rewarded you are will be and will be able to raise the rank, the first 10 mercenaries in the rank, are the strongest in the world,it's a comparison between heaven and earth, I accepted a mission that will change my destiny forever, a Rank-A mission, the objective was simple I would have to kill a guy named Raynard, I don't know why the rank of this mission to be so tall just to kill a person, then it seems very easy and also suspicious.

After tearing up the poster I went to talk to the mission organizer and he told me that this mission really has this rank and there was nothing wrong, I couldn't believe it but since it is on the poster I won't doubt it, I went to talk to the advisor to sign the contract, as soon as I walked to the contract room one of the ten was there, it was the Executioner, as soon as I looked at him I started to sound nervous, he really was a fearful person, I don't even know if I can call that being human, he gave me a feeling of pure terror and fear, it looked like he had a knife pointed at my neck, I was overcome with fear and anguish ... I walked towards the counselor and signed the contract, some missions don't have time to expire, as is. So I enjoyed it for a long time, I went to some bars, I had good fights,

The wanted boy is in the city of Regar, I went to the city and there he was very handsome, he had a lot of entertainment, I am a very flirtatious person, and I ended up forgetting the contract, this is the evil of contracts that have no expiration date, and I am a very forgetful person.

— Should I go to that place? — Asked the mercenary.

The city was prosperous and I started watching weird things happening, I think this is the famous culture of Regar, it seemed that the legends were true, the giant totems around the city, a huge bonfire in the middle of it, and people worshiping their gods, well. .. Not that I care but I think this is kind of stupid, idolizing entities that have abandoned us a long time ago.

— Ham? — No more than a silhouette.

Perplexed, a very quick shadow passed out of the corner of his eyes, as I am a mercenary, i have a very keen sense, all of us mercenaries have undergone very strict training, so that we can handle the missions without much difficulty, I decided to immediately supposed shadow.

-— Wh-what? He's making? — Asked the mercenary.

The guy on the poster of my mission was in front of me, luckily I won't have to look for him, but he wasn't alone, who is this other guy? I can't let you do anything to my prey.

— Damn the situation complicated, they don't seem to be allies at all. — the mercenary worried about what will happen.

Raynard didn't seem concerned about his opponent's hostility, should I interfere, but what am I going to say? "I came to kill you, Raynard," I thought. Will it work?

"I came to kill you two, get out of there, mercenary," said the stranger with a firm conviction.

— Now, how did you know I was here? — refuted the concerned mercenary.

The two saw me coming out from behind an old house, what is going on with these guys? I just came to fulfill my mission.

— Haha ... — he gave a small laugh.

Something similar came to me in my thoughts, something similar happened in the past, and before I could think anything, the bastard left on both of us, in an instant I could only see the shine of his dagger, pure survival instinct I pulled my two daggers and defended myself, while defending this strange guy's attack, Raynard attacked him but ... This guy came really prepared, he pulled two daggers too and defended Raynard's attack.

— Shit, you bastard, who are you? — Said the mercenary cautious about the situation.

This one is hooded, there is no way to see anything, and he is very strong for having managed to attack and defend the attack of another guy, impressive ... I do not believe that in my mission something so complicated happens like that, I have an idea.

— Raynard, run to his side, let's do a synchronized attack, can you do it? — he spoke very quietly to him.

— It sounds like a great idea! — Said Raynard.

I don't believe this will work, but it doesn't hurt to try to attack together, so we went on to attack, now that it came to my mind as to why this mission has a high rank, maybe I wasn't the only one to go after this guy, other hunters rewards are also involved, what a problem. We started on him, I slid on the ground to cut his legs, and Raynard attacked him from above, this Raynard is a very agile guy, he understood the plan perfectly, in the attack he made, soon he reached the opponent ahead, then with my dagger and his sword we hit the nail on the head.

The hooded man managed to dodge my jumping attack, but when he realized Raynard was already on top of him, the cloak that kept his identity soon tore, he was a very strange guy, he had long black hair that looked like the densest night and his eyes were red similar to blood, he had a pale skin and a cold expression, after our attack he stepped back, I see that this Raynard is going to give me a lot of trouble, well ... Maybe he will be of great help, he is very young and is very strong, it seems to be still in development, I think it would be good to bring this guy to our side instead of killing him and wasting a lot of talent.
