Lexington Luther

It was a beautiful night with a glowing full moon shone all over the landscape of the Vanderburgh county. It was a wonderful sight to behold in anywhere, except somewhere in the woods.

In a thick forest covered in dense white fog, panting sounds as well as footsteps that indicates a person, running for dear life could be heard clearly.

It was a boy, 18 years old by age and bone age. What seemed off was why he was running, of what he was running from.

"Guys, let's hurry. We must kill that boy before he escapes this forest, if not our payment will be seized!"

Far behind the pacing boy, a group of well armed men who dressed as mercenaries, kept chasing and a burly man, who should be their leader, shouted as he aimed a bow at the boy who was being chased.

The burly man stopped and stretched the string attached to the bow, and the ring worn on his finger emitted a brilliant glow of blue. This aura wasn't from the ring, it was from the surrounding and it manipulated the aura, turning it into a blue arrow.

Fwooosh!

The burly man released the string, and the blue arrow flied like a bullet in mid-air, headed for the boy in front.

puchi!

The arrow pierced the back of the boy and found it's way to his chest area. The boy didn't stop one bit, and continued his run while his body lost blood like a punctured bag of grains.

"He's severely injured. I think he can't make it that far with his situation. Let's catch him!" Another soldier of the group shouted as he increased his pace and the rest followed suit.

At the front, the severely injured boy, who was not visible in the dark reached a dead end at the edge of a cliff. He was now at the other end of the forest and couldn't run anymore.

"Is this how it ends for me? I can't even avenge the death of my family. My family is being slaughtered and I can't do anything but die. Is the world fair? Hahaha!"

The boy lamented and laughed at himself in mockery as another arrow flighted towards him in matter of seconds. There was no way he could escape the scythe of death at this point.

Puchi!

Another arrow pierced through his chest, but instead of pain, he felt delightful and laughed ad his body descended the cliff down towards the abyss of nothingness down there.

"That little brat made me consume dangerous Mana from this evil place. The emperor sure did a nice work in ordering the siege on the count."

The burly man and his squad turned and left the forest with an accomplished smile on their faces. It was like that of 'it is over' smile as they walked away.

--

In a hall, many people dressed in purple robes and a Lion coat of arms embroidery on its back were present as they all bowed before a man, full of grey hair who sat on a high chair which could be said to be a throne.

"Your Majesty, the family of Count John of Vanderburgh county has been slaughtered. His last son, who ran off has been finished off and thrown away in the forest of shadows."

One of the attendees for the meeting announced as he came up to submit the report to the Emperor, who sat up on his throne.

"Minister, you did well. From now on, the Vanderburgh county will be under my control. The threat has now been eliminated. hahaha!"

The Emperor said as he laughed to his hearts content and the Ministers bowed in unison to the sight.

--

At an unknown place, filled with minerals and inscriptions of different kind, a boy who was no older than 18 laid naked on the cold ground.

This was the boy who was supposed to be dead at this point in time. His eyes opened slowly and got used to the new surroundings here before getting up.

Lex Luther!

Lexington Luther was the last son of John Luther, the Count of the Vanderburgh county in the empire of Fremont. Though the emperor treated and suspected the count as a threat to his rule, all because of the prosperity of Vanderburgh county. He couldn't do anything but scheme a deadly plan to ending the Count.

As expected, it worked and the Emperor released his decree to execute every member of the Luther family. Most of the family members were subjected to pain and despicable things such as rape, torture, dismemberment and many more gruesome things. Even Lex's mother faced the same fate.

Lex escaped with his life on the line at the last hope of his family to seek revenge for what his innocent family was put through by that coward who hide behind the power of his crown.

Due to this occurrence, Lex ended up in this place, which he didn't understand quite well from the beginning.
