《EMPEROR OF THE DUNGEON》


 PRELUDE

    So apparently I was reincarnated as the 3rd prince of the Mearis Empire,One of the most powerful allied human empire¡¯s in gilgamesh.But that meant nothing the other races They all saw us as inferior being..just potential slaves or livestock. The worst part is, even after being born i didn''t see much of my father if any at all, the only times i''ve seen him is when he sits upon his throne with a dead stare as if nothing mattered to him or when he offers hos comfort to the people of the empire, otherwise he took no interest in me as a son, instead all that interest and attention went to my older siblings, my two brothers and my sister. Saul, Amelia and Troy, this was due to their Jobs being powerful.


    Paladin, Arch Mage, Arch Priest and me..i was nothing special...They said i was blessed with no Job when we went to the priest of the capital Church of Mearis to find out what it was, so i became the shame of the royal family.


    My mother was a Maid servant whom served the Queen, but my father the king lusted after her and one thing led to another, at least that''s what i heard and due to this my siblings and the nobles of the Castle hate us, So they disrespect me in every way possible whenever they can, they would call out to me and make remarks.


    "Look! It''s the son of the whore"


    "Worthless prince Raoul"


    "It''s a great misfortune that a Bastard was born into royalty"


    "Truly disgusting sight you are child"


    "Why don''t you just die!!? It would save us all the trouble"


    This had become the norm for me and i didn''t really care, i had a new life and i wanted to make the most of it but i worried for my mother,  though i had memories of my past mother, this woman now was my mother and it hurt me to the core that she had to endure this kind of torment day after day and my so called father would do nothing about it and just sat on his throne,  i would help my mother with her duties around the castle as much as i possible could just to make her work easier she would often refuse my help but i still help the guards and the nobles seeing this would often glare in disgust as i helped my mother to clean but said nothing.


    Things remained this way for a while, at least until that day mother accidentally broke a gift that was given to my older sister.


    "You fucking whore!! How dare you!!"


    "I-i-i''m sorry Princess Amelia...i-it was an accident"


    "ACCIDENT??? YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE!!"


    "N-N-no it truly was an accident"


    My mother kneeled face down pleading to my sister to forgive her but her cries were in vain, the same day the king called for all of us siblings including the nobles in the throne room. It seemed as if everyone was there, i walked in with my mother and looked around...disgust..that was the look on there faces and as i looked up to the king i saw my sister standing beside his throne smiling as if satisfied about something, my brothers stood side by side in their armor while my oldest brother held a sword before him as he glared.


    "Mhmm..you have offended my child maid...how will you rectify this?"


    "..W-what?"


    I looked at father in confusion, this whole thing could not have been just because of the gift broken accidentally by my mother, my fathers expression remained unchanged and emotionless as i turned to my mother she was already down on her knee''s pleading to him to forgive her. I looked at what was happening with shock, why is my mother apologizing for something she didn''t do? I grit my teeth and look at my father.


    "Please my king...forgive me...but it was an accident I didn''t mean to..."


    "So you are implying my daughter is a liar?"


    The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon."N-NO! your majesty i would never!"


    "Then how do you plan to rectify this maid?"


    "Is this some fucking Joke!? Is this your way of telling me to give up my right for the throne Father!!!" I shouted at him  while clenching my fist.


    "Haha he thinks he has a claim to the throne? He doesnt even have a Job!" The whispered while laughing.


    "All of you in this room have never liked me nor my mother for as long as i can remember! And I''ve had enough of this! And you father...no...your no father..your nothing but a shallow man"


    You could see the veins in the king''s head pulse..as he glared at me in anger.


    "Well i renounce my right to the throne, if this is what it means to be king i refuse to be a part of this" i held up my mother and pulled her to walk away but she would not move, even through all this suffering she still wanted to stay?...no..she was afraid.


    From the corner of my eyes I saw my brother step forward lifting his sword as he came closer and closer, he pushed me with brute force sending me flying back into the throne room door almost losing consciousness.


    I fought to stay conscious filled with nothing but rage, staggering as I stood up.  I felt something splash against  my face...


    Bam!


    Something  hit the floor and rolled towards me..


    A feeling of  terror and grief consumed my entire being.


    "No....no...no no no no no"


    I lifted my head and saw my mothers body  fall to the floor..and her head right in front of me...her face filled with fear..


    "Where is all that talk now little brother? You were so convinced this would end well for you hahaha" Princess Amelia shouted.


    The entire room was soon filled with laughter as they all mocked me.


    My brother, unfazed by this, now pointed his sword towards  me .


    "Saul...I''m your brother...your own flesh and blood..why are you doing this?"


    But Saul remained unphazed by my plea.


    I glared at father  thinking of nothing else but to end him, thinking of nothing else but to kill every last one of them...before I knew it my mind went blank, nothing but a loud ringing could be heard. My left hand started to  lift on its own ..the ringing in my head getting louder and louder...


    Raoul stood up and glared at his brother with eyes that were hollow and black, filled with nothing but resentment and hate.


    Flash!


    A massive amount of pressure came down in the room filling everyone with fear.


    Saul looked at his brother surprised at what he was seeing.


    "IMPOSSIBLE, How can he do this? He has no Skills much less a Job!!!"


    The king trembled, Gnashing his teeth as he tried to stand, Amelia in Shock stumbled, backwards falling on her back, Troy even more surprised than anyone, even in fear put on an insidious smile, amazed at his younger brother¡¯s power.


    "K-kill him !!! Kill him now!!!"


    "I swear on my dead Mother....my brothers..oolder sister..father.... as of now, this empire is my enemy, All of you are my enemies and I will lay waste to all of you in this room , for your sins against me and my mother...i will make you all suffer.."


    In the blink of an eye Saul slashed at his brother, cutting off his left arm, Raoul jumped back trying to put distance between them Saul thrusted his sword towards Raoul piercing through his chest.


    Raoul slowly came back to his senses as he spat up blood,


    He looked at his brother with a look of pity, his brother enraged by this pulled out the sword from Raoul¡¯s chest. Causing him to fall to his knees. Saul pulled out his short sword and slowly slit Raoul''s throat.


    "You will never lift a finger against us, you weak, pathetic brother of mine"


    blood streaming from his neck and chest as his vision slowly faded. Raoul Fell to the ground his mothers head was now in his view. Tears streaming from his eye¡¯s, Raoul gave his final smile to his mother before everything went completely dark.


    "What should we do my lord? If the kingdom hears of this the repercussions will be disastrous. The king sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.


    "It will be handled...worry not...Saul toss his bodies into the ocean make sure it won''t wash back up ashore...Amelia you have some planning to do to explain why he is missing to the people once they start to ask questions, make it believable...Troy you take the maids body and burn it"


    "Yes My Lord" they all said together  and went on to carry out the King''s orders.


    A carriage left the Empire heading to the coastal town of Purgus, passing through the minor villages and the dark Forest,  upon arriving, three knights and the 1st prince Saul  exited the carriage with Raoul''s body inside a straw bag, as they boarded the ship. the sailors started shouting and a horn was blown  soon after they departed from the port town out into the Sea of Necron.


    Sailing through the sea they went further and further away. Soon the port town was out of sight. They sailed for 7 days. Locating the deepest part of the ocean.


    "This is far enough" Saul shouted as he went to retrieve his brother''s body. Immerging from below the deck with the body over his shoulder, Saul walked to the taffrail and looked over into the sea.


    "This shall be your resting place brother..maybe you''ll have better luck in your next life"


    Saul then threw Raoul''s body into the Sea after tying a large anchor to it.


    And watched as it sank deeper and deeper.


    "Let''s return Quickly...we''re done here"


    Raoul''s body continued to sink deeper and deeper ,fading more and more away into the depths, leaving nothing behind except a trail of bubbles floating back to the surface.

 Begining after the End

    A year passed since the death of Raoul and his mother and the cover up story of how they died soon spread like wildfire across the continent of Gigamesh, reaching the ears of the races of every nation. A story that left a bitter taste in the mouth of anyone who heard it or read of it, A nerve racking rumor that made Raoul out to be a monster without any moral or regard for the life of anyone.


    On the day the news of Raoul''s Death was to be announced to the people of the empire, The king requested the people to gather in the square¡¯s of the town¡¯s for the news they had for them. Curious as to what this was, the people came in their thousands as a magic projection of the 1st Princess of the empire appeared.


    ¡°Hello citizens of the Mearis empire, I Princess Amelia Pendragon stands before you today to make known to all the death of the 3rd prince, My brother Raoul Pendragon, It saddens me to notify you of this however we the royal family have decided not to keep it a secret any longer, The Prince we all loved commited a crime so great we did not expect it and by the time we realized what was happening it was already too late, The Maid servant/Concubine of the king was beheaded by Prince Raoul...Her own flesh and blood, He also tried to murder our father the king saying he is the only one who deserves to wear the crown and rule the empire but luckly our brother saul was there to stop him in his before he could bring harm to our father. Prince Raoul In an angry fit of rage chopped off his own arm when caught, trying to escape. When we found him he had locked himself in the room of his mother, before setting it ablaze with her body and perished.¡±


    -Present Day-


    [HIBERNATION PERIOD TERMINATED]


    [FORCING HOST AWAKENING]


    [TITLE DUNGEON MASTER ESTABLISHED]


    Light pierced the lids of his eyes as he opened them again for the first time in years.


    ¡°Cough, cough¡±


    He raised his hands to cover his mouth and a handful of dust flew into his face causing him to sneeze uncontrollably, he was covered in dust and cobweb that had settled on him from head to toe and his condition that of someone who hasn¡¯t eaten for days. He reached for his neck and his chest but beneath the dust only scars remained. A faint purple glow could be seen from his chest as he rubbed away the dust. confusingly he looked around wonder where he was and why he was there, the last thing he remembered was being impaled by his brothers sword and his neck being slit before everything went dark and cold.


    ¡°W-where am i¡­..Argh....I died again¡­..but i¡¯m alive...i don¡¯t think i reincarnated though so how did i come back this time¡±


    Trying to stand, his feeble body fell back to the ground, unable to carry his own weight.


    ¡°Arrrrrrrrrrgh! Dam it!! Those bastards!! What did they do to me!?¡±


    He shouted and cried out in rage and anger as he laid there too weak to move. The memories of his mother ran through his mind as he recalled everything that had happened.This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    After a while laying there on the hard stone floor, He fell asleep unconcerned about his situation and the predicament he now found himself in.


    ¡°My My, You¡¯ve Finally awaken from your slumber Prince Raoul..Hmm you don¡¯t seem too happy to be alive though if i may say so myself¡±


    Raoul slowly opened his eyes peaking through his messy over grown hair to see who was talking to him but there was no one there. The person laughed then Raoul realized the direction of the voice it was behind him, Struggling to turn around Raoul rolled over and lifted his head to see better. A woman sat in a throne no more than  Twelve feet away from him in the dark  of the room. her eye''s glowing a bright Amber red as if fire was lit inside them.


    "W-who are you? Are you the one who resurrected and put me here?"


    The woman stared at him for a while before getting up and walking towards him, when she walked out of the darkness she stooped down and gently held Raoul by the chin, examining him with her eye''s.  Smoke soon started to emit from where she held Raoul, in response to the pain Raoul flinched pulling away.


    "Did you just burn me!?"


    "Good grief....it''s a force of habit hehe...well this is your new home Prince Raoul, Welcome to the abyss"


    "W-what!? How did i end up here?? Why am i here"


    ".............."


    "ANSWER ME!!.......Please....help me"


    "For a prince you sure seem to cry alot...sighs..humans.....The will of the world may be what brought you here"


    "What?"


    "Whenever there is imbalance in power the world summons it''s Chosen Hero''s to keep the balance in check...so if i''m correct a kingdom somewhere has conducted the forbiden summoning ritual"


    "The will of the world...summoning ritual...why would anyone do that...that spell requires a sacrifice and it must be done in an order that requires the blood of a M-"


    The woman stands up and looks at Raoul with her burning eye''s and then starts to laugh historically as Raoul''s  face becomes filled with terror and disbelief.


    "You finally put it together haven''t you? Finally seeing everything you missed while you were blinded by your familiea little act"


    "No...no...no...it can''t be.."


    "It definitely is the truth though..you and your Mommy WERE THE SACRIFICE  for that summoning ritual and by some twisted stroke of luck you were resurrected and preserved in the abyss by the will of the world for some unknown reason"


    Raoul rolled over unto his back and stared at the dungeon roof in disbelief, he assumed he and his mother where killed because of his right to the throne but in reality they were sacrificed for the summoning of the four Holy hero''s.


    " I liked it better when i didn''t know we were used as sacrifices...damn father"


    Raoul let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes, The woman tilted her head confused, thinking Raoul would''ve have been furious at what really happened to him and his mother, her eye''s filled with curiousity.


    "Interesting...very very interesting...you don''t seem to be bothered at all about what i told you? Is it that you no longer care about what was done to you?"


    The room remain silent  as the woman stared at Raoul awaiting his answer...Raoul seemed to have been gathering his thoughts.


    "Mhmm it''s not that complicated..I am furious about what was done...it''s unforgivable...but i can''t lose my composure or ill lose my life yet again..Right now what i need to do is become stronger and gain allies...Then ill return what was done to me, by Ten fold"


    The Woman Felt a cold chill for a quick minute and became extremely overjoyed because of what she heard.


    "Amazing! Truly Amazing!!! You will become a worthy Dungeon Master!!, I''ll help you with your revenge Young Prince so please when the time comes be sure to entertain me well haha"


    Raoul in shock at how the woman was reacting looked at her with disdain and discomfort, worried having this woman around would bring more harm than good.


    [[Ahh i knew it was a bit strange that since being reincarnated i hadn''t come across one of them, mhm mhm now here i finally met one...the one female all anime characters try to avoid....The Yandere..]]


    Raoul let out a deep sighs as Phoenix helped him up while laughing Joyfully showing an insidious smile  revealing  her excitement due to her high expectations of Raoul.

 Begining After The End II

    Time quickly went by as Raoul remain Hidden deep within the abyss recovering after his ordeal. As soon as Raoul was strong enough to walk again Phoenix began his training, whenever he got badly hurt, she would immediately heal him and do the training all over again. This hellish training continued everyday pushing Raoul Further and further to his limits, From Training they moved on to real battles against Monsters that took refuge in the middle catacombs of the abyss. Phoenix did not intervene in any of Raoul''s figths unless necessary and once it was over then she would congratulate him for staying alive. These monsters were not ordinary and Raoul had no choice but to fight them bare handed. In her spare time Phoenix would disappear for days, leaving Raoul to train and level up by his self, so she could gather information on the four Holy hero''s and their progress before returning to update Raoul. This became their everyday routine.


    One Year became Two and Two became three. Raoul became taller and more refined the scars of his passed still present on his body reminding him why he must endure. He soon realized he could no longer level up due to an unknown restriction, his level stopped at 99 and would not advance regardless of how hard he continued to train.Phoenix seemed to know why his level would not go up any further but decided to let him figure it out for his self for her own amusement.


    "I think it''s about time you created your first subordinate, no better time to build an army except now don''t you think?"


    "Create? And not recruit?"


    Phoenix laughed, took out a red glowing gem and tossed it to Raoul, after catching it Raoul careful examined it, fascinated by the glowing gem.


    "Phoenix what is this? It''s so warm?"


    "That''s a flame core from my dungeon, it''s what dungeon masters use to create their subordinates but you''ll need to use it along with a monster core to actually create anything at all. You can summon them from anywhere and use them as you like...only draw back is it takes alot of Mana to generate one "


    "Is that so..." Raoul whisperes while gazing at the gem.


    "It is, eventually you''ll learn everything you need to...well my time here is done, I''m heading back to check on my children, so your on your own from here on, I look forward to your achievements Prince Raoul....and word of advise find somewhere safe to create your dungeon...Because once you do the world will know of your existance "


    Raoul Covered his eye''s from the blinding light as Phoenix disappeared in a bright flare, as soon as the light faded Raoul looked around then further examined the flame core Phoenix gave him. After putting it away Raoul countinued to train even more, improving his battle senses and developing his signiture skills and spells that Phoenix had thought him. Months passed and Raoul slowly came to the realization, He could improve himself no further staying inside the dungeon and decided it was time to leave. That night Raoul washed himself in a stream that ran through the abyss, clipping his dark silky hair and washing the dirt and blood stains from his body revealing his toned skin.


    While packing Raoul''s mind wondered thinking on how to best deal with his family.


    "I''ll need to learn more about the world once i leave...I''m sure alots changed since i''ve been gone...and i''ll need to prepare myself...i''m sure my brothers levels are far higher than Lv99.."


    Now certain what he wanted to do, Raoul went further down into the dungeon to the sealed room where the dungeon core was located.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    As he approached the room his heart raced, beating faster and faster the closer he got, he could feel the Mana flow from the room surging around him. As he opened the doors , a huge gust of wind blasted by however Raoul remained unmoved not being pushed back even an inch. In the center of the room was a floating Orb emitting a purple glow that lightened up the room, He walked towards the orb and gentle pulled it towards him. He started to recall what Phoenix told him.


    [[The Dungeon Core is the heart of the dungeon. Attaching it to an appropriate location will be very beneficial to you, once there is enough mana in that location you can absorb it and use it to construct your dungeon and promote your subordinates to your liking. But bear in mind once you fuse it to that location no matter what happens it can never be moved again. So make ur choice wisely]]


    "I gave it alot of thought and I now know what i need to do to move forward....having my Core attached permanently to any location is Suicide for me because the moment i do that the world will become aware of my existence...and ill become a sitting duck for strong adventures especially those heros....I''ve never seen anyone do this before and i dont know the risk but its better to try and fail than to not try at all..here goes nothing"


    With a worried look Raoul swallowed the dungeon core in one gulp, quickly closing his eyes tightly wilst crouching, hugging his self for dear life waiting for what would come next. But nothing happen.


    "Did it work? Or do i need to say something for it to take effect?..." Raoul whispered to himself while pondering about what it could be.


    He clenched both fist then released them, doing this repeatedly while checking them before he finally came to a conclusion.


    " DUNGEON SET!!" he shouted at the top of his voice while placing his hand over his chest.


    .....


    Badum!....Badum!....Badum!!!


    An intense feeling of discomfort over took Raoul''s body, throwing him to the ground in pain. He groaned and railed in agony as it became more and more unbearable, Vain''s rose over his face and over his body as if he was about to explode. The dungeon core was now merging it self to Raoul''s body absorbing all the Mana in the abyss, packing every ounce of mana into his body. Raoul fell to the ground shaking as his body started to be crushed under the amount of Mana that was being absorbed.


    Not again Raoul groaned in pain determined to succed and not die once more.


    Blood soon started to leak like a stream from his eyes, ears and mouth.


    "A-AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!"Raoul let out a loud cry of pain that echoed to the surface shaking the dungeon.


    His body instantly started to glow as the dungeon started to collapse around him due to the Mana that had held it up now being gone.


    **UNIQUE SKILL DOMINANCE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED**


    A massive explosion of mana blasted from the 100th floor of the Abyss piercing the sky with a beam of Dark Blue light. A large cloud of Mana residue rippled out over the continent of Gilgamesh. A few miles away Phoenix felt the enormous wave of Mana that rushed rushed over her dungeon, Phoenix noticed her hands shivering not due to the feeling of excitement but a feeling of despair as well.


    "He''s truly different from all the other dungeon Masters! The blast from his awakening shouldn''t have reached this far south....Now everyone will know of your existence, you now have a target on your back and soon everyone''s gonna come gunning for you Prince Raoul.... all nine races and the other Dungeon Masters ...hahaha i knew you''d bring me alot of entertainment" Phoenix mumbled with a pleased look on her face.


    The Dungeon of the Abyss collapsed completely, as the dust from the Dungeon rose, Raoul could be seen walking out of it as if nothing had happened. He was still covered in his blood but he was no longer in any pain. He Wiped the blood away from his mouth using his arm, then rubbed back his messy hair in place.


    "It worked!.....it actually worked!" Raoul shouted as he laughed.


    He let out a deep sigh rigth after, looking to the sky observing the outside which he had not seen in a very long time. With a pleased smile Raoul quickly left the area.


    Disappearing as if he was never there leaving the entire continent in the dark wondering what in existence could have caused a Mana Wave like that. For a while the continent became chaotic due to the nine races becoming desperate to obtain whatever it was that held that much mana, Thus all nations came to an agreement whatever it was must be killed and examined to find out the origin of its power, So a group of strong hero''s were formed. One representative was chosen from every race to be apart of it, to conduct this search and to keep the other nations in check, One of the four hero''s that were summoned by Raouls father was apart of this new group. The Alliance of The Nine Races.

 Begining After The End III

    "Do any of you have Any idea, what caused that mana wave recently?"


    The people standing before him remained silent they did not have an answer to give. The doors to the throne room opened and a man claded in armor walked in and kneeled before The king whom sat on the throne.


    "Father, My king, I have news of the location the Mana wave originated from."


    The king looked down on him with emotionless eyes gazing at Saul as if he was just another knight and nothing more.


    "As expect of the first Prince, Court of Magicians you are dismissed, leave us now"


    The magicians whom stood before the King quickly exited the room leaving the two alone as commanded.


    "Now....You May Speak my son".


    Saul Stood up and opened a map before his father , which had markings at specific locations.


    "The source of the Mana wave Originated from the largest dungeon close to the port town, The Abyss the witness stated that the Mana pierced the sky before causing a ripple effect that blew over the land, The Alliance of the Nine Races have come to the conclusion that this was caused by the birth of a new Dungeon Master one that may hold special treasures and wishes to Capture the dungeon and extract these treasures, The Elven King however has already started to make his move towards The Abyss"


    The king became furious gripping the handle of the throne harder and harder until it crumbled in his hand, something felt off about the Mana he thought to him self and he did not want the elves to capture the dungeon for themselves.


    "Send the Hero''s to check it out immediately, make sure they get there before the Elves, go with them to make sure everything thing gets done...that''s all you may leave"


    Saul bowed to his father then left the room, closing the door behind him.


    The King Covered his face letting out a deep sigh.


    "This back and forth with those prideful Elves....Logan show yourself"


    Out of the shadows imerged a man in a full black cloak, with a sheathed Katana strapped to his side. He then kneeled before the king.


    "You Called my Lord.."


    The King stood up and walked towards Logan as he kneeled, then glared down at him and placed his hand on his shoulder.


    "I need you to intercept the elves traveling to the Abyss....kill them...and be sure to make it look like it was done by the Dragonewts....gather your men and make your preparations to Leave immediately..."


    Logan without a word nodded his head then faded back into the darkness. The king lifted his head staring at the roof letting out a deep sigh.


    "...Long live my empire.." the king uttered


    Mean while Raoul Traveling further and further away from the abyss, kept heading North, being careful not to wonder into the other races territory. Only able to observe them from afar. Further along his Journey Raoul stumbled unto a small village that had a very small population of a few mix blood children and a Elderly man whom seemed to be their care taker. The old man and the children seeing Raoul became very cautious. surprised that a human had found them. It was clear that nothing good happened to them when they interacted with any human, due to their Impure bloodline.


    One of the children, a small yet frail girl walked up to Raoul cautiously and pulled on the end of his Jacket, trembling, her eye''s swollen with tears and fear writen all over her face. she stood there looking up at Raoul. She was a mix between a Goblin and human. Her distinguishing features being her green hands and feet while the rest of her was that of a normal child.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    "P-please.....S-save her...Mr... "the young girl said pointing to the forest.


    The old man frightened as he saw Raoul leaning over to pick up the child, tried to shout, but his throat became dry with fear because he did not know what Raoul would do.Raoul lifted the girl into his arms and patted her head.


    "Don''t worry...i won''t hurt you.." Raoul Said as the frightened child tried to hold back her tears sniffling and shaking.


    The child clinged to Raoul as a child would to their parent. All while trembling.


    "What happened here?"


    The old man walked up to Raoul but kept a safe distance out of fear.


    "The Elves...They took the other children and left...the ones here are the ones they already experimented on and sent back because they don''t have much longer to live..There is nothing i could have done to help them..."


    Raoul glared at the old man, then the other children. They were all badly bruised and damaged but the old man showed no sign of being hurt which was strange to Raoul.


    "Why did they take them?" Raoul said in a disgruntled Tone.


    A Dark Aura started to emit from Raoul filling the area with a terrifying atmosphere.The little girl in Raoul''s arm Begun to tremble even more as she turned and saw the look on Raoul''s face before bursting into tears.


    "P-P-please calm down Sir...I can tell you but..please...your scaring the children..."


    Raoul lifted his head and let out a deep sigh, The Dark aura immediately faded as if it was never there, the old man trembled as four of the other children hid behind him. Raoul walked over to the old man and handed him the crying girl then placed his hands on his shoulder.


    "I want to know everything...and i mean every detail" He whispered to the old man.


    The Old man looked at Raoul walking away to check the village and then turn his attention back to the children. To the old mans surprise the bruise and scars were now gone, They seemed to be in better condition than they were before Raoul arrived. However this was only possible due to Raoul''s Mana, by exposing the children to Raoul''s Mana in such a short time they could survive is what the old man thought. The old man then realized Raoul was not like the other human and that maybe, just maybe he could be able to help. The goblin girl seemed to have developed a kind of admiration for Raoul tailing him whereever he went in the village.


    That night they started a camp fire and Raoul gave them meat from the monsters that he killed on his travels, after eating all the kids fell asleep. Cuddled up together.


    "Old man, it''s time to talk...but first atleast let me have your name, mines Raoul"


    The Old man looked conflicted about how to answer.


    "Ahum....my name...my name is George, the little ones, Don''t have one though they go by 1002,1003,1004,1005 and 1006 is the goblin girl that admires you so much.."


    "...You...All of them were created?...and there are more of them?"


    "Yes i...These children were the last of the one''s they expiramented on and that was due to them being incomplete experiments and that they now had a very short life span....these children will die soon once there bodies reach their limits....I can''t save them..only gibe them comfort while their still alive...any of the other races we''ve come across would either try to kill us or take us to be sold as slaves and they succeeded not too long ago with one of the weaker ones....so we''ve had no choice but to run away and hide...but you...I saw what you did you could help them! When you released your mana, it was as if they were getting better, you''ve even fed us some of your own food and since you came not one monster has approcached us...you''re doing what no one else has...you are our saviour"


    Raoul looked at him as if he was crazy.


    "I''m no Saviour...So don''t keep your hopes up"


    The Old man paused for a moment then asked Raoul a question, that made Raoul glare at him for a quick moment but brushed it off as the old man just being curious.


    Much later that night Raoul left them all asleep and Stood in the middle of the forest with his eye''s closed.


    Nothing but the ambience of the night and the sound of his Jacket blowing in the wind could be heard. He Then walked further into the forest ,walking for hours as if being lead somewhere.


    He then came across a wide plain devoid of life, The bones of humans and monsters were scattered all around the plain, Raoul looked around slowly examining the area.


    "FORAGE" Raoul said in a low tone


    A large gust of wind engulf the plain, as if being vacuumed to the center as Raoul walked cross, every bone of the dead humans and Monsters were sucked into Raoul''s Shadow. Suddenly he Stopped and turned his gaze to the ground below him.


    "Found you" Raoul said with a smirk


    But before he could do anything The sounds of Thousands of bow string''s being pulled back could be heard echoing all around the forest. Raoul lifted his head and hissed his teeth.


    "...Elves?...Seems like I''m in your territory now...so that means his memories were right.."


    "Who are you to set foot upon our holy land without our Kings permission, You filthy human scum!! Kneel down now before me The great Vladamair and we''ll consider sparing your insignificant life"


    Raoul let out a deep sigh then put his hands inside his pockets.


    "You people seem too high up....let''s drop it a few feet down"


    Vladamair laughed histerically finding what Raoul said absolutely funny.


    "What could a mere human do to me? A LV 89 High Elf and a Thousand Elven Soldier...come,come endulge me human"


    Raoul looked at Vladamair with a look of amusement.


    "..TUNNEL!.." Raoul said in an annoyed tone.


    The entire plane started to shake violently, crumbling beneath Raoul and the elves, a massive sink hold appeared below them,swallowing Every last one. with nothing but total darkness below as Vladamair, his troops and Raoul fell deeper and deeper into the depts that seemed like it went on forever. Raoul kept his composure falling feet first through the air.


    Screams of terror from the falling Elves echoed as they cried out to their leader for help.

 ATROCITY

    Thinking that he could make the most of the situation The Leader of the the elves, Ordered his men to blast Raoul with there Magic arrows while falling. regaining their composure the elves took aim. Raoul looked around then looked down at the Leader of the Elves while falling almost unbothered by the situation. The elf leader seeing this became infuriated and ordered his soldiers to fire.


    A barrage of Different magic arrows enveloped Raoul causing a huge explosion mid fall speeding up the decent of the Elves.


    The Sound of  Body''s and rubble hitting the ground echoed through the tunnel as a dust  rised up  from the floor. Vlad layed their motionless gasping for breath as he spat up blood, his lower body crushed by the large rocks that had fallen on him.


    Cries of pain could be heard from those who had survived the fall yet Vlad''s laugther drowned them out.


    "In the end..Y-you are still just a lowely human...nothing but a insect for us elves to crush...even thinking you could over power me!"


    Vlad laying there heard a loud creek of a heavy door as it opened. Soon after other Elves dressed in white lab coats appeared surprised at the site of what they saw and quickly made haste to assist the surviving Elves.


    "Captain Vladamair? W-what happened here? How did this happen to you?"


    Vladamair with a pleased look smiled at the scientist Elf.


    "It doesn''t matter now, It''s taken care of, just help those of my men who sur--"


    Before he could finish his statement , Something fell from above blasting everything back with a powerful force upon impact. Everyone was blown into the walls  of the Tunnel, the unlucky ones were crushed to death by the large rocks that were blown away as well from the impact.


    Badum....


    Badum...If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Badum...


    Vladamair gasped for air as he was slamed into the wall, his heart racing as he was in shock. The Elven scientic that tried to help him laid before him dead his head bashed in by rocks from the debre. Panicing and afraid he let out a cry, weeping and cursing. Then he turn his attention to the dark figure walking towards him through the dust, The purple glow of it''s eye''s locked on him  as a lion''s eyes on it''s prey.


    "T-that''s....I-it''s not ppssible....you can''t be alive, you shouldn''t be alive!..No no...your Just a human...a worthless human!...how can a human be stronger than me? The pride of the Elves? Unforgivable!"


    Raoul emerged from the dust, walking towards Vladamair, unhurt from the previous attacks or the fall. He Then came to a stop towering over Vladamair as he cursed him, Raoul looked at him with pity  and placed his foot on his neck. Immediately Vladamair began to beg for his life.


    "W-wait, wait you don''t have to do this. You can just let me go and I''ll tell the King it was the Dwarves who attacked us, So no one will ever know about you hehe. If it''s gold you want?  i can even offer you any amount you desire! Just please Spare me!"


    Vladamair squirmed and beged  Raoul countinued to look at him with disbelief at what he was hearing from the once prideful Elven Captain.


    "Predictable...You Mobs are always the same..always acting big when things are in your favour but as soon as things go side ways....you start to sing a different tune...I would have let you be if you had just stayed out of my way....but your pride became your downfall"


    Vladamair seeing that his scheme was not working started to curse Raoul, trying to remove his foot that he had firmly planted above his neck, pulling and punching it.


    "Blame yourself Vlamamair"


    Raoul proceed to press his feet against Vladamairs Neck harder and harder, watching him Squirm as his face slowly turned purple,  gasping for breath before it all went Silent. Raoul went on and killed all the remaining elves that were still alive before coming to a realization. He Had gain Exp from killing them and was now Lv 500.


    "Thats interesting...if I''m right then everything else besides killing monsters now gives me Exp...hmm..Ill think about it later...for now let''s just finish up here"


    Raoul approached the opened door that was there and walked in, dissapearing into the darkness. Walking through what seemed to be an endless corridor of prison cells on each side, filled to the brim with the bodies of dead children. The feeling of disgust, wrath and the sense of something watching him followed him for most of the way but he could not figure out what or where it was watching from.


    He soon started to feel the rise in the temperature the further he got down the corridor,  Entering a dimly light room, you could see the heat radiating from all around the room and in it''s center a large curtain reaching the ceiling. The moans of children in pain could be heard coming from behind the curtains.


    "What the Hell, is this?"


    Raoul took a step further to see what was happening behind the curtains, His senses began to warn him, causing him to jump back Immediately. Moving faster than the eye could see a white flash went right pass almost cutting his throat. In the split second Raoul saw the figure of a human before it vanished again.


    Raoul now on edge by whatever it was that tried to kill him became even more cautious. If he did not react fast enough he would have died. The sound of foot steps fazing in and out around Raoul could be heard as if taunting him. Only being able to evade the slashes of the humanoid figure by mere seconds was too dangerous for Raoul he had to think of a plan and Quickly.
