Asmodues Scripture

"I want to become stronger. Please, whoever you are, whatever you are, give me a power. I need a power! Give me a power whatever it will cost."

In front of old book, a young boy was kneeling at the book. the book had a black cover with symbol of inverted triangle on it.

The room was dark. Candle couldn't last as it light was faded. cold air entered the room through ventilation and lowering the temperature.

Suddenly, light of candle was vanished. The young boy lifted his head and looked at the book. slowly, the book was opened its cover. The page was shifting slowly. Soon, the book was stopped moving. The page was emitting a red light that make the room brighten.

"Wh-what happen?" The boy stammered. he closed his eyes due to flashy light.

He opened his eyes slowly. Then, he shocked when he look at the air. He gasped and stretching his hand to the air. There was a floating organized word.

[Congratulations, you have became a mage. I am Asmodeus, greeting you to become my believer. for unlocked your skill you must complete the quest]

Kieran gulped, "It's real?"

He lifter both of his hand and focused on hand's muscle. He could feel the strength that bigger than before. He had known once a human become mage, even it's was the lesser one, he would gain an amazing power. His strength, speed, agility, intelligent was twice than normal people usually has.

"Hehe, I couldn't believe this! Mage! I've became a mage! This book is a real one! How lucky i am," Kieran chuckled. He found this book yesterday. the book was found in the mountain cave, several miles from this city. He guessed the cave was Asmodeus believer hiding-place.

This book was enchanted scripture. Enchanted scripture was scripture that had received a bless from the god it self. Enchanted scripture could change a normal human become a mage, but it could only be used once time. After that, enchanted scripture become a normal scripture. Only a high priest that had a power to bless a normal scripture become the enchanted one, of course, with permission from the God it self.

Kieran took an igniter from his pocket. He grabbed the scripture and raised it. Then, he turned on the igniter with another hand. Kieran was burning the book. Slowly, the fire was devouring the book. its smoke was spreaded and filled the room.

There was a rule in this city, Amantha. Every evil believer mage was a criminal despite they were doing a crime or not. Hecrotus Kingdom was a kingdom that established by three religion. God of Knowledge believer, The Sun Church, and The Savior Lord. These three religion was categorized as light Fraction. In this world, there was three fraction, evil, light, and neutral gods and goddesses.

After the book was burned out, Kieran walked out of the room. He opened the door and saw chain of grungy house. In front of them, there was a muddy alley. Kieran walked through the alley slowly. The moonlight made him easily to look the things around him.

"Quest, 5 human to kill, of course the criminal such like a bandit, thief, killer is a good one to be killed."

Kieran was not a bad person. He hadn't intention to kill innocent people. Even if he was an evil mage now, but he believed a person couldn't be judge just by his religion. He knew someone who was a priest of The Savior Lord and that man was a bad person. He had done various things that could be considered as enormous sin.

In the end of alley, there was a solid road which could accommodate four wagons. In both side of the road there was several merchant which offered various things, such like foods, clothes, accessories, etc.

crowds were filled the road. Noisy sound was disturbing Kieran's ears. Kieran covered his head with a hood. After that, he walked through peoples. Afterward, he strolled to the alleyway and walked away from noisiness.

After 10th minutes, Keiran was arrived at the port. Amantha was a nearby sea city. In the past, it was used as port city to connect Eula Sea and the capital of Hecrotus Kingdom. But the fuction as port city in Hecrotus Kingdom was replaced by new city, Eterna. Eterna had better geographically position and closer distance to the capital.

After abandoned by government, this port was rarely used. The one who really used this port was gangs. They were frequently brought illegal object which the kingdom had banned. So, the best place to seek criminal was this place.

Kieran hid himself behind a big container. He was peeked at a group of people. There was five person who heaved a big box which had 2 meters height and 3 meters wide around. In the higher part of the box there was square holes which Kazuki thought was used as ventilation.

"Be careful, boss have said this box is important," bald gangster reminded.

"Hey, what creature you think inside this box?"

"I don't know, maybe some baby monster or something scary. Don't mind about it."

Kieran walked slowly without evoked any sound. Fogbound moonlight made those gangsters in difficullity to find Kieran. Suddenly, Kieran grabbed the bald gangster neck then broke it. Others gangster found out Kieran, they were put the box and rushed to Kieran.

"Who are you! do you know who you're causing trouble with?" They were withdrawing the sword and pointed it to Kieran.

Kieran was pulling his hood and showed his attractive face. He smirked, "It's my words."

Gangster 1 was swung his sword. Kieran leaned his body and evaded the sword. Then, He caught Gangster 1's hand and use his other hand to grip Gangster 1's neck. Soon, he moved Gangster 1's body to the other side. Gangster 2's sword was poking Gangster 1's body.

Kieran took Gangster 1's sword and jabbed it to Gangster 2. He dodged Gangster 3's sword and kicked Gangster 4's sword. Kieran knocked Gangster 3 down with his foot. Then, Kieran stabbed the sword to his chest.

Gangster 4 looked at his friends, He saw that everyone except him was dead. He gulped and looked at the horrendous man who caused his friends dead. Immediately, he threw away the sword and ran as strong as he could.

Kieran grabbed a sword and raised it. Then, he threw the sword to Gangster 4. The sword was floated and went through the air. Next second, the sword was piercing Gangster 4 back.

After Kieran ensured those 5 gangsters was dead, he approached the box. he opened the box forcefully. Kieran was stunned. He couldn't belive what he was seeing.
