Chapter 1: The legend of a child

There was a man by the name of Ortega. He was a strong man and 1 goal in life… To destroy the Demon Lord, Baramos, and bring peace to the world

"Can't this wait until the baby is older?" asked his wife

"I want the baby to grow up in a world without fear of monsters or the demon Lord"

said Ortega.

"Okay, but please be careful, honey," said his wife, "I love you."

"I love you too, honey," said Ortega.

With a quick kiss too his wife and child, and a goodbye hug to his father, he left. He faced many monsters and fought through many towers and caves.

"Can't…go…on…must…fight…for…son" Ortega was saying while heading towatds a town, "Must… kill…Baramos…make…world…safe…for…everyone."

"Grandpa, Grandpa!" screamed a child, "A man in a weird helmet just passed out at the town gate."

"WHAT?" yelled the old man, "Get your mother, I'll try to help him."

A few days later Ortega woke up.

"Where…Where am I?" asked Ortega

"Hi, I'm Popota," said the child

After a long talk between Ortega and Popota's family, he gave them his helmet to remember him and he left to fight Baramos.

After long treks across the sea and fights with vicious monsters, he made it to a volcano.

It was dark on the volcano and Ortega was about to fight a dark figure at the mouth of the volcano.

"Prepare to die!!!" yelled Ortega.

"Let's go you pitiful human," said the winged creature.

A grueling battle between a human of pure strength and powerful magic, against an extremely powerful demon that could kill an average man in seconds. The fight seemed to last days when finally Ortega stopped the demon in the middle of the volcano and they both fell into the dark abyss of the volcano.

Word had reached Ortega's home town of Aliahan, and sadness poured over the whole village.

"Even the world's most powerful warrior could not defeat the Demon Lord," said the king, "and the news will be terrible for his family to hear.

"Your majesty, I understand what has happened," said Ortega's wife with tears going down her face.

"There is still hope for the world," said the king, "And that hope is in thesecond most powerful warrior in the world… this child."

Everyone in the king's throne room all looked at Ortega's son, the world's last hope.
