Destination Unknown, But The Adventure Begins

"We meet again, Yuko Gilderstone" "Indeed, we do, young adventurer" as the man stands up, he looks towards Luke with a serious tone on his face "I am guessing you want your answers, right?" "Yeah, you made me go through hell for it, and I can't for them anymore" "Fine then, ask whatever you want" "What does Lady Nia want from me?"

"I have not much knowledge on that but, the evil that cursed us all is still in this world and she wants to bring an end to it, once and for all, for that she needs support and you are one of them" "One of them?" "Yeah, though I don't know who the others are, Lady Nia described you as the "Defender" though I don't know what that means"

"Defender, what am I supposed to defend tho?" thought Luke to himself as Yuko asks for other questions to which Luke responds "Why are my powers similar to Klaksh?" "Well there is not much I can say about that too, but it is probably because you wished for it at some point of your death unknowingly, that you got it" "Did I now?" once again thinks Luke to himself as he then asks his final question "Is Lady Nia still alive?" "She is neither alive or dead, she is in a realm to pass on such powers but I won't consider her dead just because of it" replies Yuko "So is she a god?" "Maybe you can say that, but her true identity is unknown to me" "Oh, welp that was my final question, now what?" 

"You should know by now what is coming next" as Yuko takes on his stance he gets ready to fight and so does Luke as they both head to each other and clash their fists, both continue hitting each other, their fists matching each other at every hit as suddenly they both got an opening and hit each other faces and blow each other away.

Quickly Luke teleports behind him and takes out his sword charging it at Yuko who turns around and grabs it with his bare hand "So Raksh gave you his sword, interesting" and then charges his kick towards him, blowing him away from his sword as he throws the sword away, Luke teleports towards it and grabs it by the hilt as he says "Sword Skill, Levitate" as he begins to fly… he moves around quickly and charges his blade straight to Yuko's face who dodged it by an inch as he says "Is that it?

Luke teleports once again, behind Yuko as he charges his sword to his neck forcing Yuko to turn around but suddenly he teleports once again, this time right above Yuko as he covers himself in light as suddenly the light moves onto the weapon as he charges it towards his forehead… Yuko tries to grab it but this time… his hand got cut and the attack was just about to hit the forehead before, Yuko moves out of the way barely have lost his life in such a way, when Luke heads straight at him attacking him multiple ranges point straight hitting a few hits and getting scratches on his body as he says "You still can get better" as Luke teleports away, he replies "Everyone can get better in one way or the other sire, don't you think?" 

"Well said" he moves towards Luke darkening his fists as he hammers it towards him but Luke covers his sword with the shine and teleports behind Yuko as he dodges that attack, Luke teleports again and again getting at one place but getting dodged at another as finally he got a chance and cut off his other hand as well leaving him vulnerable for the next attack as the sword goes through Yuko's chest, he smiles and says "Don't let her down, Defender" as Luke agrees Yuko turns to dust right in front him.

The whole dungeon became quiet from that point forward as Luke stood alone in it breathing heavily and barely keeping his eye open as he shouts out loud celebrating his victory over the 100 floors with tears in his eyes as he breathes heavily, he begins to laugh after that and fall to the floor looking up into the boundless emptiness as he says "Its over, everyone" as he continues to laugh there for a few minutes before getting up and putting his sword back in the hilt as he begins to look for a way out

3 years had passed since Luke Clearstone had passed away in this world, but finally he had returned… to the city he once called home, his har had grown, and he wields nothing but a sword on his back as he ran to the hills to get a glance on his home but… it was no more, only ruined grounds inhabit the regions which made Luke breath heavily not able to understand what had happened and worried about everyone he loved… falling to his knees, he panics from all the confusion but tries to calm himself down as he tries to find out what had happened, traveling around the areas of the ruined city, he found some adventurers who were able to tell him the truth 

"Not long after the Strike, a war took place across nations and the power users surpassed everyone, your city was a part of a crossfire in the war and hence was destroyed during the war"

Though Luke got his answers, he had more questions and he kept on asking… The adventurers were shocked by the lack of knowledge Luke had of all the events that had happened in the past 3 years but they told him anyway.

3 months after Luke's death, a huge surge of energy passed through the nations and awakened some sort of hidden power in some humans who were now being called power users and this incident was then titled the Strike. With how strong they were, a war immediately broke out cross nations for the motive to conquer others, but when they realized how balanced they were in power, to avoid more casualties the nations stopped the war 2 years after the Strike, many incidents took place during these 2 years and so did many casualties, Luke was scared to know the outcome of his own family and friends but asked otherwise of any survivors of the city and was told about how some adventures and many citizens did manage to teleport to some part of the world using some outside help who collaborated with a man named Roy to save others

This gave Luke the hope he needed as he gives out a sigh of relief and thinks of next step, when he checks into his pocket and finds his adventure card of long ago and thinks "where in the world could you guys be, I wonder… if I want to find you, then I guess it's time to start my own adventure to it then…and I wish you all are alive to get to see me complete it" and with his old found excitement of the life of an adventure, he sets out for it and we return to the present…

"Master Luke, do you… mind?" as Luke slowly opens his eyes, he finds himself sleeping on Elva's shoulder as he raises his head up and says "Sorry Elva, I guess I was too tired" "Its…ok, but if you want to rest, you can always use my lap" "No, I am fine for now, by the way, where are we heading sire?" Luke asks the man sitting at the front of the cart "You grabbed onto the cart not knowing where it was going?" "Isn't that what you call Adventure?" the man laughed as he replies "Indeed, anyhow, this cart is heading to the City of Carole, its a major city around here after the war and has a sea of items from all around the world" "Ooh, that's sounds interesting, well then, full speed ahead!!!" "Yeaaah" shouts the driver while Elva says "We are already…at the max speed… tho" confused as she was, both Luke and the man laughed awaiting for their next destination.

And the adventure continues…
