The Beginning

Today marks the 2463rd year of the new calendar, after the death of the Great Demon Lord Licgt. It was just a typical day in ''Arcane Academy'' a prestigious school built, to train students about how to use [''KAI'']. In the courtyard of ''Arcane Academy'' was a young man by the name of ''Eric''. He worked really hard than every one in ''Arcane Academy'' but there was a flaw in him. Even though he is a descendant of the Great Hero ''Legend'', he had no [''KAI'']. Emotionally distressed by his family known as the ''Valorheart's''. Neglected by his parents and siblings acknowledging him not being their son or younger sibling and rejecting his aids after knowing his flaw bringing disgrace into his family's name. Outside his home, he had other challenges to face each and everyday in ''Arcane Academy''.

Wearing a uniform being a outer and inner coat with the colours purple and violet (quite the same but don't get confused with them). Deep violet on the outside and lite purple on the inside along side with a tie as well. He furtherly continued his journey as he reached the school premises and entered gathering a little bit of confident with his normal dark raven hair and normal eyes. Being alone in this so called wretched world was tough for 15 year old like him to go through. Walking through the shadow of death glares at him with the instinct to kill. Many mummers cold be heard as he was passing by as students in blue and green uniforms same design as his....

Student#1: *whispers to his college* Hey look is the so called descendant of the Great Hero 'Legend'.

Student#2: *whispers* What is he doing here.....

Student#3: *whispers* He shouldn't be here.....

Student#4: *whispers* He shouldn't be considered as a hero if he can't use ''KAI''.

Student#5: *whispers* The principle should reconsider and send him to where he actually belongs. A 'Reject'.

Being called a ''trash'', ''mistake'', ''reject'' over and over again was something Eric faces as he was recruited to ''Arcane Academy''. Many of the students who are higher than him shows no respect to him being a descendant of the Great Hero Legend but rather seeing him as an abomination of being a ''Valorheart''. He kept on ignoring the calls of him being trash or a reject. His will to become a hero and becoming stronger began to reduce every single day. His cheerful personality since he was a lamp is disappearing bit by bit. With no one to help him in his aid when he needs the most. As he was walking towards his class he heard a familiar voice calling out his name....

Voice(???): *Yells* Hey Loser!!!

Eric being so curious, he stops on his tracks and turned to see who it was but rather got punched across the face.....

Eric: GAH! *sent flying 5 meters away and roughly hit the ground*

A shadow-ish figure could be seen heading towards Eric's position step by step. Eric lifts up his head and saw a young boy around his age wearing a blue uniform like some of the rest of the students. With orange short neatly cut hair with red stripes on them and an arrogant looking face staring down upon Eric Valorheart. He recognized the orange hair figure knowing his motives on giving a straight hook on his face....

Figure(???): What did I tell you in not showing your face here again you loser!...

Eric: *Back leaning on a nearby wall whiles staring at the figure* What is it you want....Kevin.

Kevin once knew Eric during kindergarten. They were once close friends, always sticking at each other promising themselves that they'll become one of the top heroes there is, if possible becoming a ''Legend''. For some reason Eric was diagnosed not having [''KAI'']. They both got separated entirely not seeing each other again ever since Kevin turned against him and started to destroy his ego not to become a hero by bullying him 24/7. Beginning to follow friends, bad mouthing him, beating him to the pulp and so many harsh actions he has being committing. Again Kevin, is part of one of the powerful family known as the ''Firestorm'' family. Using his family's name to put fear to those who oppose him. And Eric is one of them in using his fire element, a powerful treasure the ''Firestorm'' are blessed with...

Kevin: Eric my dear friend. You never listen to me..*folds his both hands as he shakes his head in disappointment* I'm trying to protect you..

Eric: Me..... To protect me? Using you family's name for selfish gains. You don't EVEN-!?

Kevin: *Quickly stumps the head of Eric glaring daggers at him* Don't raise your voice when I'm talking to you.

Kevin's stump was hard enough to cause pain on Eric's skull. His feet was still placed on his face as he continued to put pressure on his face almost squashing it. Figures more than 3 approached to their side standing behind Kevin. Finally he took off his feet from Eric's face revealing a bleeding nose dripping a bit and hid forehead having a little bit of blood falling because of his weak skin..

Eric: *Looks at Kevin and saw 2-5 figures all in blue and green uniforms backing him up*

Kevin: C'mon boys...[snaps his fingers making it to be ignited with flames] Let's take out the trash.... *smirks*

For the past 10-15 minutes, Kevin and his goons landed series of attacks at Eric either being both magic elemental attributes or physical based attacks. For each attack they discharge, it brings out raucous around area with no one even trying to stop them. At the same time, it brings out physical pain to Eric trying his possible best to endure it but it was difficult task for him. They stopped after sometime staring at him laying down weakly on the ground almost being beaten to death. The megaphone rang as it was time for them to take their leave. Each and everyone of them began to take their leave as it was left with only Eric on the ground and Kevin standing tall given out an arrogant grin on his face. He squats to his level staring down at Eric's condition seeing nothing but disgust. He proceed to speak..

Kevin: *Squats* You don't belong here Eric. You are just a burden to your family's legacy.

Eric: *Staring at him closely with motionless eyes*

Kevin: *Stood up* Know your place and never return to ''Arcane Academy'' ever again or else..... Your life won't be spared....

Kevin turned around and walked away from the hall leaving Eric on the solid ground. Eric felt lifeless after hearing what his bully Kevin said to him. He didn't know what to do cause he is a high ranker whiles he is at the bottom pit of the ocean. He is defenseless and useless in everything. Educationally he is really good but for ''KAI'' usage is up to -0% at will or at all. He has no elemental attributes. Even if he is physically fit he can't wield a sword cause it only respond to ''KAI'' users. He is hopeless in knowing what to do. For sometime, he stood up from the ground as he kept on walking away from the school's premises since he was only left with him alone. But little did he know that a figure in a yellow uniform in a much deep blue skirt having a slender like body and a long dark raven hair was observing him the whole time.

????: *Observing him leaving the school*....

The time went on when the day shifts to night. At the courtyard of ''Arcane Academy'' at the training grounds where you could see dummies, wooden swords, training arenas for student to create new set of skills. On the other side of the courtyard lived the Legend's statue as a hooded figure cause no one has seen his actual face in battle. His last wish was to be buried at the center of the city to be recognized as the one who saved the from the Great Demon Lord Licgt. That is how the school was built so that someday, one of the future generations will take his place because ''EVIL NEVER SLEEP BUT GET STRONGER EVERYDAY''. One of the strong quotes written at the bottom of his statue. Where a young man in a purple uniform was standing at the graveyard staring vividly at the statue of the Great Hero ''Legend''. The lights at the courtyard were already on to brighten the area of the graveyard.

Eric: *Looking up to the statue* We meet again.....grand ancestor.....

The place became quiet as the wind caressing blows the trees at the scene shaking the branches making the petals to dance around as the wind take them away.

Eric: I got betrayed by my friends that I cared about, was seen as an outcast by my family and siblings have a lot of of several injuries from the pains and sufferings I've been through at a young age!!

His emotions began to build up he was talking to the statue of the Great Hero 'Legend'. His eyes was filled with sorrow and sadness as he continued to speak..

Eric: All just because of not having ''KAI'' with your stupid legacy as me being one of your descendant!

His eyes became watery as his emotions finally shaped. Keeping a whole lot of pains he derived from being the descendant of the Great Hero ''Legend''. Time goes on as he put the blame on the Legend for all the pains, sufferings for what he has caused. Having children to continue his legacy saying ''ONLY ONE CAN MAKE IT'' as his other coat written at his statue. Making him to fell despair at a young age was to much for him. Nobody was there for him, his dad, mom, siblings, friends, even society saw him as a reject. He couldn't take it anymore for he wept for a solid hour releasing all of his emotional stress to reach a certain level in which he can't produce a single tear. He was completely dried out. His swollen eyes were red due to the cries he omitted. Eric heard an alarm [BEEPING!!] haphazardly, he raised his hand having a specialized watch given by the ''School's Authorities'' in Arcane. It is used in checking their ''KAI'' level, Hero Stage, and the most important thing of all...checking time....

-Name: Eric Valorheart-

-Level: 01-

-Rank: Beginner-

-Time: 10:30.p.m-

Is exactly 10:30.p.m. He begins to remember for when his watch clicks at 10:30, it signals him that everyone at home are off to bed. So is a win for him to sneak in without anyone noticing. He calmed himself down as he knew it was time to take a break and head towards to his "Inferno Realm" in which he usually calls it home. Around the surface of the Legend's graveyard an artifact began to [SPARKLE] a little similar to a shooting star. It drew Eric's attention for a slightest moment...

Eric: *Turned to the graveyard* <What is that.....>

He pursued further towards the the shinning object and saw a "bespoke armlet" made out of the purest metals unknown to human discovery. The Moon Rays kept on hitting the armlet as it continued to shine bright like a diamond. Different patterns all together to make to make out this fine master piece. It was located at our Great Hero Legend's grave is. Which lies at his statue behind it.....

Eric: *Began to wonder* <This wasn't here before..... Was it?>

He asked this question cause in his spare time he has visiting the training ground trying to manifest ''KAI'' at the same time visiting the graveyard to earn and learn the coats from his descendant ''Legend''. Here is the case he found an unknown armlet at his graveyard calling out his name for him to take it. He was cautious for it might be a trap from one of his bullies. Still his hands was wiggling in the air trying to reach out for the attractive armlet. Finally he grabbed the armlet with his eyes closed, thinking it might be a trap but....nothing happened...

Eric: *Sighs as he looked at it* <Or maybe it might be someone else's.>

Not knowing to do next, he wore the "bespoke armlet" knowing is completely save. The place was quiet for some reason which frighten Eric a little bit. Increasing his pace then walked away from the graveyard. As he was out of sight from the graveyard, the moon ray began to shine upon the statue of the Great Hero ''Legend'' in which a transparent figure could be seen standing beside the graveyard. It stared at Eric staying silent for a while. The cloud blocked the moon ray from it to shine upon the statue. The next thing you know.... the transparent figure vanished out of sight leaving no trace behind.

[Midnight Hour: 12:00.a.m]

The night is still young as people might say. The celebration of the Legend defeating the Demon Lord Licgt is over. The cityscape, once dominated by towering buildings and bustling streets, becomes a realm of mystery and wonder. The night sky above comes alive with celestial wonders, twinkling stars, and a mesmerizing moon that casts a soft, ethereal glow upon the streets below.

A place where our young man Eric sleeping inside a huge mansion as his room filled with nothing but his bed, closet and simple place to educate himself. The window at his room opened slightly letting out cool breezes to fill up the room. Something was lurking into a room as a shadow moving towards sleeping Eric making the lights of the room to go as it passes by them. Eric making the lights of the room to go off as it passes by them.

Eric sleeping like there is no tomorrow began to felt some weights on him as if something or someone is staring at him. He felt uncomfortable as he continued to move side to side of the bed. He couldn't take it anymore for it's becoming way to scary for him. His eyes opened instantly and got up from the bed and realized that no one was here. He heard a [SQUEAKY] sound beside him and noticed that the window was opened shaking with the aid of the breeze. It made him worried for he taught something or someone was watching him. He closed the window shutting it closed letting a sigh of relief for he is safe.

Eric: [Click! Click!] *Locks the window* That made me worried there..... I taught someone was spying on me.....

As soon as he turned was a figure in a hooded black rag staring upon Eric face to face making a direct eye contact. A sense of quiet intensity emanates from this enigmatic figure. Movements are deliberate and controlled, exuding an air of confidence and grace. The figure's presence is further enhanced by the way the hood seems to merge seamlessly with the robe, obscuring any discernible details. The room was dark for the figure to be seen but it's crimson red irises said otherwise.

Eric falls on his but in complete shock and fear. With no words coming out from his mouth stuck on one place shivering to the max. His eyes widen couldn't believe what he is seeing. His heart rate suddenly increases as it pounds as if he went for a marathon race and actually won.

Eric: *Let's out a terrifying scream* AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well.......PROBABLY NOT O(∩_∩)O
