They called me FIVE

**READ ME** THIS BOOK WILL BE UNDER REVISION. ******* My name? Lance Augustus Age? 15 Nickname? Five. Why they call me that? Because the mark tells us so. _________________________________ "Don't be stupid, steer out of trouble, and whatever happens, stay alive."  I really don't know why Dad always repeat those words to me everyday. I take heed of his words. Play by his rules, never dared to go against him except if it's extremely necessary. He's all that I need to get by. Our life was ordinary. Everything was perfectly fine, perfectly normal, just an everyday routine we get used to live. But then this guy calling himself 'The Seeker' came... And he start making a mess out of my life.  He said I have powers. - Who believe that crap? He said I have extraordinary abilities. - Cool! I want to be Superman. He said I was chosen. - Who? The god of newbie bullies? The mark of five imprinted deep into my skin proves that I am one of the TWELVE. - You sure it's not a tattoo? I firmly believe it's a tattoo. I never believe him. I drove him out. I did not listen. I wish I did. Maybe he could have help me. Maybe he could have save me from the trouble of falling right into their trap. I know nothing. Because of my stubbornness I lost everything. So now I'm all alone. But she stretch her hand to me. She gave me hope. She invited me to come. And I did. So our search began. For the remaining TEN. ___________________________________

Just your friendly guide.

In this fantasy world, demons, deities, faeries, beasts and mortals coexist. The only thing that divides them is the realms they each lived in. Faeries, beasts, and mortals (Gifted people) lived in one realm, where they constantly fight each other.

DEMONS

Typical antagonist in the world of fantasies. Just imagine IT with two horns and a tail. That's how demons look like.

DEITIES

They're not the angelic bright light shimmering glittering with flashy wings species (those are angels, these are deities) nor "I'll pulverize you mortals into squabbling little dolphins" (yeah, definitely not Mr. D.) These beings are responsible for keeping the demons from crossing the portal between realms. Because they are only twelve of them, they've been doing a great job! (very responsible righteous deities, unlike someone who's rumored to be overpowerful yet, doesn't want to fetch his lost hammer because he's too busy watching Game of Thrones LOL).

EKLEKTOS - aka CHOSEN ONES

These are ordinary teenagers caught up in the drama of "You are chosen, now you have the responsibility to save the world blah blah blah". No warnings, no preparation, just boomed. They are twelve of them. This story will revolve around the journey of finding and gathering these twelve. And how to properly harness the power they're given called 'blessings'.

BLESSINGS

Supernatural abilities. Magic. They rooted in the realm of Twelve Deities. Once you are gifted, you can control, modify, recreate, break the magical energy around you and use it to defeat your enemies. So far, only the Eklektos are given full access to this power.

Three civilizations in the magical realm.

FAERIES

Creatures that aren't human. They have brains. They have sense. Just imagine all kinds of fantasy creatures knocking at your door caroling for Christmas with Santa hats and costumes.

>>> Dark Elves – the highest ranking faeries, the royal blood in their kingdom. And just because they're called dark doesn't mean they have dark skin. They're placid. No hair, just pointy ears, black eyes and no, nobody punch their face, their eye socket is just full blown black.

BEASTS

Just imagine two meter tall dogs with wings in rainbow colors. They vary actually. No one knew how many they are. Only they're two to five meter big and have bellies that have the same mass of a whale.

>>>Gray Beasts – Nah, they're too skinny you might compare them to the skeletal model in your science class. Except they have gray overstretch skin. And their eyes are twice the size of your eyeballs.

MORTALS

>>>Human realm - If you look at the mirror who do you see? You see your beautiful human face right? Congratulations! You're certainly in the human realm.

GIFTED PEOPLE

>>>Magical realm - Now look again, imagine you wore a big pink igloo hat, A pink lace dress, a beautiful necklace with a large gemstone you're sure was bought at the second hand jewelry store, then some tap boots. Turn on the music, put on some gloves, and do the macarena dance. LOL. Anyway, these people are way too classy, too prejudice, your dress and status define your identity. But both men in nobles, commoners, and peasants compete for their strengths and fighting skills to have a chance in passing the hundred test for Rankers. Rankers act like knights or soldiers of the kingdom.

Rank System

RANK RULER

The strongest. The winner. The glorified position that equals to a King. To become one, you must defeat the legion of Rankers, Rank Leaders, and the Rank Elders. With nothing but a sword. That's how you prove your worth. Your strength. Whether you are fit to become a leader. But not everyone can become a Rank Ruler. You must come from the noble family of Rank Elders to qualify.

RANK ELDER

Just because it has the name 'Elder' doesn't mean they are old wise, giving off Dumbledore vibe. Their position makes them 'advisers' for the Rank Ruler. Their primary job is to keep the barrier of their territories intact. Barriers are protection from Beasts and Faery invasion. It was stated in history that only the Eklektos are granted 'blessings' from the deities. To prepare for their coming, deities hand picked twelve men and gave them a portion of 'blessing' in order to protect the Gifted people from other creatures, that is, until the day Eklektos come.

RANK LEADER

In a legion of Rankers, they are grouped into twelve. With a leader assigned to supervise. That's Rank Leader.

RANKERS

Acts as soldiers/knights in the Kingdom. They're immortal. But only on the boundary of their territory. Once they ventured out, they lose immortality from the mark. Though the Mark doesn't work against human aging. So once a Ranker reach an age where he's too old to fight, he must resign.

RANKER QUALIFICATION

1. To qualify you need to be at least 20 years old.

2. Single. No girlfriends but s*x friends are fine.

3. Can wield a spear, bow, sword and shield, wear armor, has flexible body, can adapt and improvise.

4. Height requirement: at least five feet tall. Weight requirement: No less than fifty kilos. It's okay to be two meters tall just don't get stuck in the door when you came inside a small house. It's fine if you weigh over a hundred kilos if you're overly ripped and don't have protruding belly.

5. Pass the hundred test and be chosen in the high altar.

Will be added soon as we go through along
