CHAPTER 1
"Pain was their body's way of telling them that they'd pushed themselves to their limits - which was exactly where they were supposed to be."
Everyday, people here are dying from hunger, dying from fighting, everyday we are being added up, many people are here, some of them aren't as strong as us, the mages.
I learned, that I can't escape, everywhere there are guards, even if you plan and kill the King, there is always an eye like an eagle watching you, even here at this filthy prison that I belong, there is an eye.
I've been here for so long, and i grew up here for almost 5 years, because of that i was given a name, a screen name for me as a fighter, they named me according to the type of magic i have, for many years i am here, i forgot who i really am, but i know someone who can answer all my questions...
Today, I was called to fight, I, who is trained to protect someone's life other than myself, waking me up from my deep slumber, I yawned and stand up, i stretched and walk, as the giant metallic iron bars, opened and rolled up, I get out, many people are betting, those people are from his clan, the people who Prayed, and under their Royalty, I, who was caught from another place, that they conquered,…
I look for my enemy, I look up to his tall and big body, he is the Fire God Slayer, Zancrow, he smiled at me wickedly, his eyes are full of happiness and blood-lust, he laughed psychotically, and he is excited on this Killing Mania as I stared at him in utter disgust.
He started to show his magic to me, Dark Flames started to dance from his body, his smile and laugh grew bigger and louder, he stared at me as if I'm some piece of meat that is ready to be ravished, or an ant that he can step on, he thinks he is the strongest,…
I can't move, as the ground starts to tremble, people's shouts grew louder,…
"Flame God's Scythe!" He shouted, he forms a scythe of black flames off of one arm, which he uses as a weapon for destructive results, good thing I was fast enough, if not I lost my head already, the scythe resulting cutting and giving me a new hair cut, for a couple of centimeters.
"Not bad for a weakling" He said, as he follows up, attacking me with a kick, shouting, "I'll defeat you as fast as I can" Those words ringing in my mind like a bell, everyone knows when he says those words, he means it, and it means he is planning to beat me up, until I turn to ash, in a mere seconds.
I was sent flying a few meters, and I cough blood, I wipe my mouth, And I roared at him, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" I shouted, but resulting him to be stronger, as he open his mouth and ate it all, and he flashed me a smile.
"Flame God's Explosive Flame!" He shouted, in a punch like motion, I scoffed because we are far from each other, but I was wrong, it releases a massive stream of black flames I was planning on eating it but as it reaches me it created a giant explosion.
He laughed wickedly, "You think you can eat the flames of a God?!" He shouted, I don't believe it, I am slowly dying from my own element, my magic is dropping slowly, as I fell to my knees, he followed up an attack, "Flame God's Cloud" He shouted, as the dark flames covered my body, I shouted, It's like I am dying with out freedom, he kicked me, but I can't move, I tried eating the flames again, and it worked, but it tastes like something I don't like.
I am standing up slowly, from an up roaring cheer to Zancrow, who is enjoying his time, blood dripping down with the mixture of my sweat, I know from this day if I don't fight I'll get myself beaten up, if not, Killed… I closed my eyes, and concentrate…
I opened my eyes; I breathed in slowly, and exhaled, all I can see is dusts, ashes, the places where other died, and where I am stepping, standing alone, I have to avenge them, I have too, If not I'll die in pure embarrassment, under my Father's name.
He saw me by the side of his eyes, he saw the King, signaling him to finish me off. The King will always choose the person who is about to win, or alive, time to turn the tables.
I was shaking, I felt myself weak, I breathed in, the smell of blood feeling my nostrils, I flexed my arms, and look around, this damned prison I am trapped in, I can feel my bones tensing, wanting to fight, energy and hope flowing back, I saw the Princess, I know her, she is the girl who helped me from my travels, she knew me, and I know it, her eyes full of sadness seeing people die, so This is the New Timeline, the New Age…?
My Father once told me, that Dragon were the rulers of the Earthland, but Years go by, People started to stand and fight for themselves and for their freedom, but some Dragons were friendly, but was killed mistakenly, thus making the Dragon vs. Human Wars, things happened, and the Human wins because of my Father and his friends, or was it My Father's Father... History again repeats itself, because of this new age' King.
He prepared his final attack, focusing at me, and I just glared, I fixed my stance, not in a protecting and defending position but in another attacking position, he just smiled wickedly, knowing that I would fail miserably, he attacked me by running straight forward, and I flashed behind him, using my magic, smirking, punching him at his face, sending him flying some few meters, and using combination attacks I kick him up, and as a final blow, I used…
"Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!" I shouted, knocking him out, eliminated.
I always knew, that if you win and defeated all of the opponents that were captured, you can fight all of the Prince in line of the Princess' hand, and I have this huge chance, but it is pretty risky too, All of those Prince were trained, high pride and smart like Aristocrats, also they can cheat if they want, but if you win, the King has no choice but to give her daughter to someone like me or a Prince who is a Pervert and Crappy.
This is a game, for Strength, Power, and using your brain, and to think about it I got no Brain, I mean not literally, I'm not that smart, the day I was captured I didn't even fight, I let myself go with them because-
"AND THE WINNER IS SALAMANDER!" Some people cheered as the speaker was heard, did I mention that no one knows our real names, all they know was our nicknames or names that resembles our magic.
I didn't shout in happiness, this game is about life and death, I just raised my right arm, and my fingers in an 'L' form, this is not for anyone I know in particular, but I know, the Princess understands me, at that moment I look at the King next, his face expresses shock and surprise, his mouth a gape, and then he recomposed his structure by standing up, and clapped at me.
And about the girl fighters? I think they would fight like us guys, win some treasure or something, but I know it's about freedom, and so freedom they'll choose, if they loose or something it's to give pleasure to this Prisons' Warriors, Soldiers and Royalty.
Me? I am still confused on the world I am living in, it's hard to fight for freedom but sometimes dying is freedom too, Who am I fighting for? Why am I fighting for my life? What am I doing in my life? When can I leave this place? How can I leave if I am trapped? I can't remember much, but all I know I have to fight, and win, to meet the Princess, and ask her something…
To Know, Who i Really Am...
