Volume 1 Chapter 1: Return

No ones POV*

"drip"..."drip"..."drip"... as the sound of water dripping fill the room enveloped in darkness a pair of faintly glowing red orbs can be seen looking around from a fixed postion.

James's POV*

"Where am I?" James asked to himself while surveying the area.

Using his enhanced vision which he gained through training with aura manipulation, he was able to figure out his current situation.

"It seems I'm frozen in a rather creepy looking cave, which explains why I can't move and the rather poor visibility" He said as he surveyed the area once more.

Feeling a bit confused James tried to remember the events that led to this situation, which led to... a minor headache and the annoying urge to move.

Seeing as trying to remember the past may prove difficult as of now James decided to free himself of this frozen prison which thankfully kept him well preserved as he did not know how much time has passed since he was frozen.

Using his aura he began to add pressure to the Ice encasing him and with a quick burst of energy he successfully shattered the Ice allowing him the ability to finally move his muscles which was quite satisfying albeit painful due to the time he spent in that Ice block without moving.

After a few minutes James was able to adjust to his body properly and can now move his body as smoothly as he did before turning into a giant ice cube.

"One last thing before leaving this place" He said to himself as he closed his eyes.

A slight pressure fills the air but slowly fades away as he opened his eyes.

'Ok I still remember how to use it' James thought. With that feeling satisfied with what he was doing James started to look for an exit which was quite difficult seing as their is literally nothing around him but rock and pieces of shattered Ice.

"Great... just great from Ice prison to rock tomb haaaaagghhhh" He sighed in frustration while thinking for a way to get out.

Thankfully he was frozen along with his weapons Death and Fear.

Grabbing Death he infused it's blade with his aura and quickly unsheathed and slashed at the wall he was facing in one fluid motion which caused the crimson aura in his katana to shoot out taking the form of the slash and passed through the wall as easy as a hot knife through butter and then dissipated leaving a hole that looked like it was cut open with precision and was large enough for a group of 3 people to pass through together without feeling cramped.

Feeling excited James quickly ran towards the the exit he just made which led him to an open area surrounded by beautiful emerald colored trees and shrubbery and as a breeze sits in, he was able to enjoyed the feeling of air and the warmth of the sun hit his skin.

However his moment of peace was cut short when he heard a girls high pitched scream.

Feeling worried James ran towards the direction of the scream.

Little did he know that the encounter he will have that day could potentially change the world.
