Suddenly the tavern door was thrown open and a man burst in, panting heavily. "The undead are attacking the village!" he shouted.413Please respect copyright.PENANAyxTg0wCtjn
413Please respect copyright.PENANAwcssz6TBsH
The Tavern fell silent for a moment, before chaos erupted. Everyone was shouting and trying to rush out the door. After a few minutes, the tavern was empty except for Lunadea and Dorian. When they stepped outside, they saw an army of skeletons and zombies everywhere they looked. The guards were fighting them and some townspeople were helping. One particular man wielding a giant sword was swinging away at them with incredible power.413Please respect copyright.PENANA3CfWBdas82
413Please respect copyright.PENANAbqJh92lFSy
Dorian - What do we do?413Please respect copyright.PENANAGg1Vm3F4oX
413Please respect copyright.PENANAaSL9wekNK4
Lunadea - These are the same undead that attacked the girl in the forest, don't you think? We should help.413Please respect copyright.PENANAyDLqkegyoJ
413Please respect copyright.PENANAot1wn2nxRl
Dorian - Let's go!413Please respect copyright.PENANAlm3VVnY3KT
413Please respect copyright.PENANAWUDWLkhzoa
Lunadea - The world needs some new heroes!413Please respect copyright.PENANAKMiZqzqkH4
413Please respect copyright.PENANAxvz90mywJz
Lunadea infused her sword with fire and charged towards the undeadDorian shook his head at Luna's enthusiasm, but he too jumped into the fight. His speed was such that the undead didn't even react to him like they did with others. In one sweep, he destroyed almost every skeleton that was fighting the giant sword guy.413Please respect copyright.PENANAxRUASVDrra
413Please respect copyright.PENANASkZhm3UlaQ
Sword guy - Who are you?413Please respect copyright.PENANAKgrdcqcbOF
413Please respect copyright.PENANAnkXpzHtfRy
Dorian - We're just trying to help.413Please respect copyright.PENANAWwpQZoxAbE
413Please respect copyright.PENANAHaDFCVQU5u
Sword guy - Good, we could use some help.413Please respect copyright.PENANARaFFi4u1eQ
413Please respect copyright.PENANAhQu2t4R7SN
The fight continued for another 15 minutes, but the undead didn't stand much of a chance. They put up little resistance and there were no casualties on the human side. Once everything was clear, the giant sword guy approached Dorian.413Please respect copyright.PENANA4VdOjgzdpp
413Please respect copyright.PENANA7l5C21bilF
Ethan - I'm Ethan, the captain of the town's guard.413Please respect copyright.PENANA45CuUuKT9h
413Please respect copyright.PENANAin7ccIios5
Ethan had a muscular and imposing build, with short black hair, shorter than Dorian's. He had a scar on his chin that gave him a rugged appearance. He had a distinct 'heroic' face with a strong jawline and sharp features that conveyed strength and determination. He had an intimidating presence, but his actions and the way he carried himself reveals a noble and just character.413Please respect copyright.PENANAwfJR9SxoMg
413Please respect copyright.PENANAYAjryTR0Sr
Dorian - I'm Dorian, and this is Lunadea. We're just passing through.413Please respect copyright.PENANAY2AfLicQt6
413Please respect copyright.PENANAKbnNYZYzjU
Ethan - Just passing through, huh? Two magic warriors traveling through this town? You're trying to become Shadomins, aren't you?413Please respect copyright.PENANAF6pvNtjU1n
413Please respect copyright.PENANAVbKHr4SZAI
Lunadea - Is it that obvious?413Please respect copyright.PENANApIdiOC3EgU
413Please respect copyright.PENANAWAq6oQJwJ4
Ethan chuckled.413Please respect copyright.PENANAFPn76jCxRd
413Please respect copyright.PENANAuWGAEnVDKS
Ethan - Well, there's only one road from this town to the capital, and the Shadomin tournament is three months away. It's not too hard to put two and two together. But what you do is none of my business. You two helped us out a lot, so we owe you something.413Please respect copyright.PENANAMDS7E5vSfi
413Please respect copyright.PENANAsUbnlsgEdt
Dorian started to decline, but Lunadea eagerly accepted.413Please respect copyright.PENANALU73dzgmeL
413Please respect copyright.PENANAHlCkliPSdM
Ethan - Great! Come on, I'll introduce you to the mayor of the town.413Please respect copyright.PENANArNi2xMedou
413Please respect copyright.PENANAFXA6MRWq3S
While on the road to the mayor, Dorian and Lunadea argued about the reward.413Please respect copyright.PENANAA58O8gzHL6
413Please respect copyright.PENANA15ioxaomvN
Lunadea - We need the money to survive! Why did you want to decline the reward?413Please respect copyright.PENANAQLhhH43Mv3
413Please respect copyright.PENANARRg2Atptqu
Dorian - But you shouted that "the world needs new heroes" how is accepting a reward heroish?413Please respect copyright.PENANA1ouaRRn7te
413Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mz0HhPFrQ
Lunadea - How will dying of hunger help people?413Please respect copyright.PENANALYaKpiDfoI
413Please respect copyright.PENANAB0BgYgx8XX
Ethan - Ok you two! We're here. Hey! Mister mayor?!413Please respect copyright.PENANAIzchI0IPYw
413Please respect copyright.PENANACoaStWSzjl
Mayor - Ethan! What's the situation? Who are these two?413Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ5LOVRWiP
413Please respect copyright.PENANANbkDs3v4pi
Ethan - The town is clear and these two travelers helped us clear it.413Please respect copyright.PENANAssb8bHLGs6
413Please respect copyright.PENANAzrrOKmqGgT
Mayor - They did? My name is Cornelius and I'm the mayor of this town, thank you for helping us.413Please respect copyright.PENANA0oi77fzw7l
413Please respect copyright.PENANA5ss2W6kFC3
Ethan - He is Dorian, the fastest guy I've seen. And she is Lunadea, a better swordsman than I could ever be. She also has fire magic and can infuse her sword with it!413Please respect copyright.PENANAiAxsVwe9S1
413Please respect copyright.PENANA1UPnooSqRi
Cornelius - Magic users? Why help us?413Please respect copyright.PENANAcwDGn6j1lp
413Please respect copyright.PENANASUUTT7eIzM
Lunadea - To be honest, we saw these undead before. This morning in the forest south of here. There was this lord named Ereadus and his daughter.413Please respect copyright.PENANAuJa9OdrFC6
413Please respect copyright.PENANAQxxt8LpCnB
Cornelius - His daughter?! You saw her?413Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lais931HR
413Please respect copyright.PENANANlrwbav3bR
Dorian - What does that mean?413Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1xSzosVoh
413Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qe4xtZcpz
Cornelius - ...413Please respect copyright.PENANAqrfsQTB5z9
413Please respect copyright.PENANAgPszuHpxIq
Cornelius - Lord Ereadus was once my close friend. But everything changed when his wife died. She was a tier 1 Shadowmin, incredibly powerful, but even the strongest can fall. Ereadus was devastated by her death and retreated into the castle with his daughter, refusing to see anyone. I tried to reach out to him, to offer my support, but he would not respond.413Please respect copyright.PENANAaYXEb37gl2
413Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ik6tqA4ds
It was around this time that the undead started appearing in the town. Skeletons, ghosts, zombies, all coming from the castle. People in the town began disappearing, and the captain of the guard at the time, Ethan's father, discovered that Ereadus was summoning the undead. I couldn't believe it, Ereadus had no magic, he was born without it. But eventually he agreed to meet with me413Please respect copyright.PENANAV6qJqvqGz4
413Please respect copyright.PENANAja6Bpf1tM9
Cornelius - Tell me this isn't true, Ereadus.413Please respect copyright.PENANAOx8WbvljIg
413Please respect copyright.PENANA9aTuwsCmAD
Ereadus - I'm afraid it is.413Please respect copyright.PENANAH1ol6v70fb
413Please respect copyright.PENANAyQKiexk07E
Cornelius - But how is that possible? You have no magic!413Please respect copyright.PENANA7kEBBnn3VO
413Please respect copyright.PENANAdwe1x9W3Vv
Ereadus - There is so much we don't know about magic, and there are many things that your king doesn't tell you.413Please respect copyright.PENANARv8rk3HUvb
413Please respect copyright.PENANArFc9ebdGFs
Cornelius - Ereadus, listen to me. I don't know what your plan is, but if you hurt any more of our townspeople, I'll have no choice but to send the town guard after you.413Please respect copyright.PENANAIF8OINccPW
413Please respect copyright.PENANAQeC6DJSWwH
Ereadus - I will stop taking your people. But never come near my castle again. If you do, I'll kill all of you.413Please respect copyright.PENANAVIJ0MfVtMj
413Please respect copyright.PENANAZmKOLI9pJF
Cornelius - And what about your daughter?413Please respect copyright.PENANAVMBMSubFcC
413Please respect copyright.PENANAquJbMSSOrr
Ereadus - Don't mention my daughter, Cornelius. I'll take care of her. Now leave and never come back.413Please respect copyright.PENANAqbxQKdgd3x
413Please respect copyright.PENANA4kTDKwE1N6
Cornelius - That was the last time I saw him. He hasn't attacked the village since then.413Please respect copyright.PENANA2tCeKVlNh7
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMiWD5111vH
Dorian - Then why now?413Please respect copyright.PENANAnObQpCrV6r
413Please respect copyright.PENANAFl6s0IoB10
Cornelius - Something else happened...413Please respect copyright.PENANAbL3nmvJ7bu
413Please respect copyright.PENANA56XMoZWGOq
Ethan - He killed my father.413Please respect copyright.PENANAAKo46CngrG
413Please respect copyright.PENANAGCdNgxaM72
The air in the room was thick with tension. Cornelius looked uneasy as he spoke.413Please respect copyright.PENANATaP73IqHoA
413Please respect copyright.PENANAJADgxmPx0c
Cornelius - I told Ethan's father to let Ereadus do whatever he wanted. But he wouldn't let it go. One night, he approached the castle and saw Ereadus's daughter. Ethan's father tried to save her, but the undead were too many and he had to run away. He came back to me and told me about it. I sent him home, but he never arrived.413Please respect copyright.PENANAEOQG4adoMl
413Please respect copyright.PENANAsQsDED9uRj
Lunadea - What did you do then?413Please respect copyright.PENANA3eL0aug6HC
413Please respect copyright.PENANA37kzf5rldr
Cornelius sighed.413Please respect copyright.PENANA3b6Dalv8BC
413Please respect copyright.PENANAtAde7IqqCm
Cornelius - Nothing. I knew Ereadus was too powerful, and if we went to war with him, everyone in the village would suffer.413Please respect copyright.PENANAwLfTvJZ7iO
413Please respect copyright.PENANAL32yj79LAF
Dorian - It makes sense.413Please respect copyright.PENANAXRfcNCUUPp
413Please respect copyright.PENANAqXckKl1oKs
Just then, a young girl burst into the room.413Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1LPg1kR2O
413Please respect copyright.PENANAnPQT5VCbid
Girl - Mister mayor! she cried. You need to help me! My daughter is missing!413Please respect copyright.PENANAJkN4p8fiNd
413Please respect copyright.PENANALSjP1dxmDN
Ethan - What?413Please respect copyright.PENANAXSypRxXPzG
413Please respect copyright.PENANAQbqu4Xs0dm
Lunadea - Mister mayor! This is surely his fault!413Please respect copyright.PENANALzx71JoIQc
413Please respect copyright.PENANA95mnZleNTw
Elie - His? Who? Who took my baby?413Please respect copyright.PENANA0tfyeiCaTh
413Please respect copyright.PENANAKTx9JrINyz
Ethan - What do we do, Mister Mayor?413Please respect copyright.PENANANyRcd3TVzC
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMHFTiahStE
Cornelius had a look of concern on his face. Lunadea spoke up.413Please respect copyright.PENANAmkIWuzT23V
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMBIivxr33q
Lunadea - You didn't do anything then, do something now. Let us help you!413Please respect copyright.PENANAN3lYe22n1y
413Please respect copyright.PENANA74gXg3OziQ
Cornelius - Elie, I promise we will get your daughter back. Could you please wait outside? We need to discuss a strategy to get her back.413Please respect copyright.PENANApK49fhPEGr
413Please respect copyright.PENANABgw8KGIYQu
Ethan - Is it "his" time?413Please respect copyright.PENANAM7Ky7M5xSP
413Please respect copyright.PENANAQgTQEdPXCa
Cornelius - Yes, we need to bring in Sammy. And you two, I have a job for you. The town's guard could use some extra help. But before that, you can take off your clock, Lunadea. It's obvious from this distance that you are a Dämoneneko. Your eyes can't be mistaken.413Please respect copyright.PENANAKb7WhAyk2Y
413Please respect copyright.PENANA4NcLYdf2Hs
Dorian, sensing potential danger, gets his guard up and becomes cautious.413Please respect copyright.PENANAnNOOt6VRGt
413Please respect copyright.PENANA9um72elFgf
Dorian - Is that going to be a problem?413Please respect copyright.PENANAPP9iS84yoP
413Please respect copyright.PENANAraQVYRdBXW
Cornelius - You saved my people, even if the world hates you, I could never.413Please respect copyright.PENANA7o4rYiiLwC
413Please respect copyright.PENANAmEdfCwDAeg
Ethan - I saw you fight alongside me. I could never not respect that.413Please respect copyright.PENANACc0SYjJdNK
413Please respect copyright.PENANAmo5ePURyKH
Cornelius - Now, are you guys in?413Please respect copyright.PENANAHdom0SB5ss
413Please respect copyright.PENANAQODXXoBr4w
Dorian - We're in! Luna?413Please respect copyright.PENANAO7OHFaxprE
413Please respect copyright.PENANAd6MFRjcdOT
Lunadea - Huh? Yes Of course I'm in!413Please respect copyright.PENANAM8jgSy365I
413Please respect copyright.PENANAVBt9H6EcVn
As they spoke, a cloud of black smoke filled the room and out stepped a tall man with black nails, tattoos on his hands and neck, he was wearing a long coat, and a chain wrapped around his right hand.413Please respect copyright.PENANAyaYJ93bHdD
413Please respect copyright.PENANAkh2Km8feJp
Cornelius - Sammy, it's your turn to pay off your debt.413Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ7w1ZrkxG
413Please respect copyright.PENANAhXGd6RbVnQ
Sammy - Whatever, old man. What do you want me to do?413Please respect copyright.PENANAsrU1oSh63z
413Please respect copyright.PENANAvth4tuMbwn
Cornelius - I need you to rescue a little girl from Ereadus.413Please respect copyright.PENANAN5idX3Ckw4
413Please respect copyright.PENANACkolfAXd9c
Sammy - Fine.413Please respect copyright.PENANAGEQCYTN8mB
413Please respect copyright.PENANAKd9kF186t6
He didn't seem particularly concerned about the task, in fact, he looked quite bored.413Please respect copyright.PENANAki7xAkBeyc
413Please respect copyright.PENANANQqoPjHZ4Z
Cornelius - Wait! You'll have a team with you.413Please respect copyright.PENANADz7rTt478g
413Please respect copyright.PENANAPbVuieAy9p
Sammy - A team?413Please respect copyright.PENANAarLTpnC88x
413Please respect copyright.PENANAEnzAJvlFST
Cornelius - Dorian, Lunadea, and Ethan will be joining you.413Please respect copyright.PENANATryjoFgRC3
413Please respect copyright.PENANAGHE3HfIzO4
Sammy - No thanks.413Please respect copyright.PENANAbwHkxXYHry
413Please respect copyright.PENANAj0h84Z2LuE
Cornelius - This is not a request, Sammy.413Please respect copyright.PENANAN7EvXw4Wa5
413Please respect copyright.PENANApToOJQbAew
In a flash, he vanished in the smoke and reappeared behind the mayor's chair.413Please respect copyright.PENANAY5iisZQwWp
413Please respect copyright.PENANA2r12Nqbhyx
Sammy - Listen, old man. I do have a debt to pay, but that doesn't mean I take orders from you.413Please respect copyright.PENANAq7rzfz29Ul
413Please respect copyright.PENANACac7YqSBXs
Ethan - Sammy, please! This is no time for this. We need to save that child. Ereadus is powerful and, as capable as you may be...413Please respect copyright.PENANA1boUpSF25o
413Please respect copyright.PENANAkbRXVbDH4u
Sammy vanished in the smoke again and reappeared, standing face to face with Ethan.413Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gd5dLpPt4
413Please respect copyright.PENANAryspb9VrcI
Sammy - What do you know about my capabilities?413Please respect copyright.PENANAVqZ6y6mMBp
413Please respect copyright.PENANAdXw0X9rRh0
Lunadea - We don't need you. Mister mayor, let us three go.413Please respect copyright.PENANA1HCnnw2dhW
413Please respect copyright.PENANAEOV1ddTR42
Sammy turns to Lunadea with a bored expression.413Please respect copyright.PENANAxC2FUUtstz
413Please respect copyright.PENANApcxHrMeV0E
Sammy - It's the reverse, lady. I don't need you. You look like a small, fragile thing that will slow me down. Tell you what, if you can touch me, we can discuss it further...413Please respect copyright.PENANAI9MXG4FGtO
413Please respect copyright.PENANANODWE9pXER
He couldn't finish the sentence before Dorian touched his back.413Please respect copyright.PENANAESlQYLHWos
413Please respect copyright.PENANA0t0ay0MXWI
Everyone was stunned.413Please respect copyright.PENANA5BU1FSMMcq

Sammy - I'll wait for you at the castle gate. Don't be late.413Please respect copyright.PENANAP2habsTtap
413Please respect copyright.PENANA4nXPPHhnhE
And with that, he disappears into his smoke again.413Please respect copyright.PENANAsidu8Va9Vq
413Please respect copyright.PENANAuiudZ1khSD
Ethan - Well, let's go you two413Please respect copyright.PENANAVwyTCFwLFB
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMzLVmEVHup
Dorian and Lunadea got new gear from the town's armory. They both got the town's guard uniform. The uniform includes a breastplate made of durable steel, with a black long-sleeved sweater worn over it for added warmth and protection. The pants are made of black leather, with sturdy boots to complete the outfit. This combination of armor and comfortable clothing allows the town's guard to stay protected while also being able to move freely and easily. The sleek, all-black design adds a sense of professionalism and authority to the uniform.413Please respect copyright.PENANAWeMZ7N63gM
413Please respect copyright.PENANAIJtKutn105
Lunadea also received a steel sword with intricate engravings etched into the metal. The hilt was wrapped in black leather and had a ruby embedded in the pommel. The blade itself was sharp and glinted in the light, indicating its high quality, Dorian got a short dagger and a long one. Both of these weapons were crafted with great care, ensuring that they would serve Dorian well in any situation. The steel used to create these weapons was of the highest quality, ensuring that they would be able to withstand even the most intense battles.413Please respect copyright.PENANA778eZYssxf

413Please respect copyright.PENANAnDKj7TFgCh
Ethan - You guys look amazing! Let's go now, it's time for Ereadus to pay for what he has done.
