The Evil Never Stops #1

The blacksmith pulled an iron sword from the forge. The sword was glowing from the heat; it was almost unbearable, but he had been working in these conditions for so long that he barely noticed it anymore. He examined the blade, checking for any imperfections or blemishes that might have formed during the forging process.

As someone approached the counter, the blacksmith turned and said, "Greetings. What can I do for you?"

"I'm here to pick up my order," the customer replied.

"Your order number is.. 143?" asked the blacksmith.

"Yeah, that's the one. Here is my ticket."

The customer inspected the iron sword he was given and exclaimed, "Wow! This is perfect. You've truly outdone yourself this time."

"It was my pleasure," the blacksmith replied with a smile. "I always aim to make the best weapons possible, and I'm glad you're happy with the result."

The customer sheathed the sword and handed the blacksmith a bag of gold coins. "This is your payment," he said. "And I'll be sure to recommend your services to anyone who needs a weapon forged!"

The blacksmith thanked the customer and watched him leave the shop. "Man... I am tired. I think I have been working for about nine hours now. I think I'll take a small break."

Just as the blacksmith was about to sit down, he heard the voices of two kids "we are back!", he instantly knew who they were.

"Choukanzu! Kazuko! What's up?" said the blacksmith.

Choukanzu was wearing a plain white t-shirt that was tucked into his black pants. He also had some awesome fingerless gloves. His white hair was messy, and his green eyes always had a smile on them.

Meanwhile, Kazuko was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt with a white sleeveless shirt on top that was also tucked into his pants like Choukanzu. His black hair stood on edge, and it was long, just imagine how it looked like. His black eyes also had a smile on them.

"We finally managed to find them! Here." Choukanzu gave the blacksmith a bag with some ores inside.

The blacksmith opened the bag and found the ores he commissioned them to find. "Oh sweet! I knew you guys could find them. One, two, three... nine... ten. You guys found ten? I asked for eight, but ten is better. Thanks." The blacksmith then got a bag from under the counter and gave it to Choukanzu. "Here. That's fourteen gold coins."

"Thank you!" said Choukanzu and Kazuko.

"No problem. I have to be the one thanking you guys," replied the blacksmith.

They left while waving goodbye to the blacksmith. "Alright, now is the time to rest."

"Oh man, what should we get now that we have money?" asked Choukanzu.

"Wanna get some food? We haven't eaten anything in like two days," replied Kazuko.

They were both orphans. There was nobody to take care of them, so they lived on the streets.

"I heard some dude talking about a new bakery on the second level of the kingdom. Should we check it out?"

"Yeah, let's go."

The kingdom was structured in a weird way. There were no doors to the kingdoms, nor were there any walls. Anyone who entered the kingdom was easily seen. In the middle of the kingdom was a place where people just walked around and chatted and stuff like that. Around it were a lot of shops. But then the second level was built on a big blocky-shaped hill that surrounded the shops (it surrounded the entire kingdom). There were more shops and houses on the second level, but on the third level, it was the same exact thing. It surrounded the second level and had more houses than shops. The third level was also where the entrance of the castle was. The castle was located behind the kingdom.

The kingdom might be small on the outside, but it had an underground city with multiple floors. The underground part of the kingdom had space for over 10 million citizens (it had nine floors). The outside part of the kingdom had space for about 1,000 citizens (the kingdom had 6 million citizens at the moment).

The kingdom that Choukanzu and Kazuko lived in was the magic kingdom. It was one of the main four kingdoms. The other three kingdoms were the Dark Kingdom, the Control Kingdom, and the Transformation Kingdom. The abilities of the magic kingdom were obviously magic. The Transformation Kingdom and the Control Kingdom were also pretty obvious. But the Dark Kingdom was weird; it was a kingdom where nobody could enter or leave. So the abilities of that kingdom were kind of unknown to most people.

"Hey, where did the money go?" asked Kazuko.

"Hm? Oh yeah, where did it go? I was just holding it two seconds ago," Choukanzu said.

Choukanzu, being the idiot he is, forgot to put the bag inside his pocket. He was holding the bag of gold coins out for the public to see.

"Hey! He stole our money!" pointed Choukanzu at the guy running away with the money.

"Dude, you had it on you for not more than 10 seconds.."
