Here i present you the overhauled chapter 1 ;) ^^
(Chapter 1 : The Birth of the Black Reaper)
The story of the cursed boy starts in 1715 in a lovely village of Bibury stationed near the woods and hills of Cotswold.
The boy's name was Nero Khan he had a build of 5/1 and a shortcut silver hair that looked like hedgehog hair followed by untypical piercing red eyes and as the young boy he was currently at his age of twelve he lived with his mother Annette and his father Robert also he had a lovely sister named Blanche.
Currently in a rainy afternoon Nero was helping his dad Rob in doing the chores at their wheat farm, since the Khan family farm was the major supplier of wheat to the local mill they did have a lot of work. Thanks to that Nero had a lot of physical activity which worked well at his advancing physique. When the Son and Father duo finished the tiresome job they went home to eat their dinner and head of to sleep since it was already past midnight.
Then the most unexpected thing happened to the poor boy and his family after their lovely dinner. The birth of the infamous Reaper that bears the most hatred towards the world and the god which rules over it.
(House of the Khan Family, 0:15 Am, April 15th 1715)
It was during the moment which Nero tried to get some good sleep after a tiresome day of work the most gruesome and tragic moment of his life came over to him.
"Nero! Annette! Blanche! Get to the dining room right now! Something terrible is happening at the village! Rob Shouted
"What is happening honey?" Annette said with a face filled with worry.
"Dad why are you shouting so loud I'm scared." Blanche said with a face full of fear
"So here goes a night of good sleep." Nero said with an annoyed expression on his face
Well the sight which the family saw from behind the window filled them with dread. The most of the Village was burning and the fellow villagers screamed and run for their lives while flying beings that resembled the Angels from the Bible wrecked Havoc onto the Village.
(At the same time in the Bibury Village)
Countless spears made of light rained at the innocent people killing them on spot. Their homes burning alive the families inside them choking from the smoke and burning to their hopeless deaths from a godly crusade at their homes which they couldn't defend.
The local Militia tried to act and had been slaughtered afterwards as well. Powerless men picking out pitchforks and sickles throwing them at the Angels and only seeing them break apart at contact with their godly skin. Amidst the Chaos a church Priest was screaming.
"THE ALMIGHTY FALLEN ANGELS HAD STEPPED UPON OUR VILLAGE PURGING OUR LIVES FOR THE SINS OF HUMANITY! OH DEAR GOD IT IS THE DAY OF JUDGMENT UPON US! FEAR IT NOT ! WE ARE THE LOST LAMBS THAT WILL JOIN OUR LOVING GOD AND REJOICE IN HEAVEN!"
The running villagers cringed in despair after hearing the mad rants of their once enlightened Priest and as they turned around to watch the priest he got impaled by the light spear filled with so much power it made his body explode in a gory fashion leaving his guts spilled on the ground with his head impaling itself at the steel cross at the top of the Church.
Amidst the chaos the Militia captain gathered his last squad of fifteen men at the old mill and commanded them to shoot arrows at the Angels in a feeble attempt of retaliation. The leader of the Fallen group saw that and descended upon them just at the middle of the formation disrupting it and causing the troops to scatter around in fear. Then the Captain spoke
"What is the reason of this attack? Why do you slaughter innocent people? What is your purpose Angel?"
Then the Fallen one have spoken for the first time at the Village
"Reason? Purpose? Why should I explain my purpose to a lesser creature like you? You will die here along with your men completely hopeless and furthermore your death will be our form of entertainment! Isn't that a marvelous idea? You humans are worthless and only act as cattle and replacements in the true world of beings far and far away from your comprehension."
"This is madness this can't be happening... What was the reason for our lives then...to just be killed as cattle?" Interjected the Captain with a hopeless look in his eyes
"Yes that's the reason! Now let me hear your final screams as your death will be an impalement!" Angel answered
Just as the scared men tried to move a muscle the body of their captain has been thrown in the air and got impaled on a pitchfork piercing his abdomen and damaging his spine in a show of blood. With his last words the Captain said.
"Run a...wa...y don't let them take joy in their do...ing..." The poor captain didn't manage to finish his last words since his head has been severed from the body and rolled to his own men's feet. Horrified at the sight they started to run only getting a mad laughter from the Angel behind them.
"RUN AWAY PUNY HUMANS YOU WILL DIE WITHOUT HOPE! DRAWN IN YOUR OWN DESPAIR. YOU WILL CRY AND BEG THE PATHETIC GOD FOR MERCY AND IT SHALL NOT BE GIVEN!"
A moment later a five men fallen angel squad descended to their leader.
"Master Kokabiel we have located our target." Said one of the Fallen
"Oh? Where is it?" Replied Kokabiel
"At the outskirts of the village near the wheat fields my lord. Should we head there and cut off their escape routes?" Asked the Squad Captain
"That won't be needed. My right hand Andrew is attending to it right now. As a gift for being loyal to me I shall grant you the opportunity to kill the running cattle in my name." Answered Kokabiel
With no more encouragements needed the fallen squad dispatched for their new found prey.
"Well I will let the madness continue for the time being and afterwards I will complete my task on killing the remnants of the Schtauffen once and for all." Said Kokabiel to himself laughing like a giddy child.
(House of the Khan family, 0:30 Am)
"Oh lord….why is this happening to us." Said Annette with a face full of tears
Poor Blanche didn't even had any courage to muster a word at the dreadful site while Nero said.
"We need to evacuate from the village ! I don't even know what brought as this fate but at least we should try to survive." Nero said
"As always my son you can stay calm and collected in the face of Danger although beings we are facing right now are Fallen Angels the Angels which got thrown away from Heaven due to their atrocities. I always hoped this sight will never come back to me but it seems it is my fate." Rob spoke
"Father what the hell are you talking about? How do you know these beings and foremost why you didn't tell us that they do exist? I always thought the geezers at the Church were insane." Nero asked with a face full of anger
"I'm sorry my son. The reason i never told you the truth was the fact that I wanted you, Blanche and your mother to stay safe from this side of the world. It only brought suffering to my past and I lost many people which I cared about in fights just as this. The problem is they came for us or rather you." Rob Answered back to his son
"What the hell father!? I'm just a normal boy which lives in this village. Or rather lived since it's burning alive in front of my eyes." Nero said with a thoughtful look
"There is no time to explain it my son. Head on to the basement and hide right this instant while I and your mother and Blanche will take another way out. I want you to find a dark box inside of it and examine it after this hell ends. You will find the truth about yourself, about the world and as well my past. I don't take no as an excuse! Get away now!" Rob stated with a serious tone
Nero rushed inside the basement while Blanche hid herself in a wardrobe next to the table. Just as his Father wanted to unleash his forgotten powers a Fallen Angel burst out from the roof and landed before them.
"I'm the Cadre Fallen Angel the Mighty Kokabiel! I've came to wipe out the damned line of Schtauffen once and for all!" Shouted Kokabiel
(At the same time, In the basement)
"So where is this goddamn box father has told me about I need to get it fast and hide." Thought Nero in a rush
Just as Nero was almost finished in searching the whole basement he found the ornate black box hidden behind a hole in the corner. After crawling inside he found out that inside the hole was a small room along with many weapons, war equipment and things he never saw before.
"Oh fuck me... There it is! Now to find out the truth…" Nero didn't manage to finish his inner thoughts after he heard the shout of an unknown person above the basement saying. " I'm the Cadre Fallen Angel the Mighty Kokabiel! I've came to wipe out the damned line of Schtauffen once and for all!"
"Shit... FUCK. So my parents didn't manage to flee in time. What should I do now? I can't go back there since this will be a sure suicide and their sole sacrifice in vain. Why didn't I realize it earlier... why this had to happen." Nero thought with a solemn look
Now the only choice the boy had left was to listen to the exchange above him.
(At the Dining Room)
"I knew that this day would surely come you fallen wretch. The true successor of the line is out of your reach and he's not here so you only have us to deal with." Replied Rob with a face full of inner anger
"Honey...WHAT DO WE DO NOW?" Shouted Annette
"Get away Annette I will stall him for you and Blanche to escape!" Replied Rob with a shout
"No you don't." Replied a Voice of another Fallen Angel that just arrived at the house
"Do you think you can escape my judgment you puny human?" Interjected Kokabiel with a face full of pride and inner joy at the fear of the couple
"Don't worry Master Kokabiel this lesser lifeforms will never escape your wrath. And I will make sure it will stay that way." Said the unknown Fallen
"Your help will not be needed. Go back to the Village and slaughter the rest of the humans so there will be no survivors." Kokabiel replied
"As you wish master." And the Fallen flown away to finish his dirty work
"So the time has come for you Robert Schtauffen! Or should I say Robert Khan now! Did you think that with changing your surname and deleting your existence from the grand records we wouldn't find you? HAHAHA! THAT'S WHY I LAUGH AT YOU LESSER LIFEFORMS. YOU ARE TRULY PUNY FOR YOUR POWERLESS EXISTENCE." Shouted Kokabiel with a mad smile on his face
"Fuck you Kokabiel even if we die today you still won't erase our line and our son will come for your shitty head one day!" Replied Robert with a face of pride and afterwards he shouted something that silenced Kokabiel and struck fear into his heart.
"WE WERE ALWAYS THE HORROR IN THE EYES OF THE THREE FACTIONS. YOU FEAR OUR LINEAGE AND TREMBLE IN FACE OF OUR POWER AND SOON THE NEW DARK LORD WILL SLAUGHTER YOUR KIND FOR THE DEEDS YOU'VE DONE TODAY!"
"Stand with me my wife. We will die today but from the after world we will clap at his dying moments when he will lose everything he holds dear in his wretched life." Said Robert with pride
"So be it my husband. It's a shame that we will end our lives at such a moment. It seems God truly hates us for what we are." Annette replied with a solemn look
"I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN AND I SAID EARLIER YOUR LINE ENDS HERE ALONG WITH YOUR DAUGHTER IN THAT WARDROBE OF YOURS!" Kokabiel shouted with rage and hurled a gigantic spear of light onto the couple blowing up the room and killing Nero's parents along with his sister in the process.
"Finally it is done...well almost since one of the children was not in here but oh well at least he's completely alone and will surely die without help here...HAHAHAHAHHA!" Said Kokabiel with an insane laugh taking flight afterwards and only stopping for a moment to enjoy the sight of the destroyed village that brought a smile to his face.
(10 minutes later, Inside the basement)
Inside of it sitting on the chair in the hidden room was Nero crying over his deceased family and his lack of power to do anything against it, while being afraid to even leave the basement he started to take more focus at the contents located at the room. Besides the Weapons and Clothes that looked like mercenary gear he noticed a diary has been laying on the desk with a letter near it.
"My dear son if you will ever enter this place it means I'm no longer in the world of living and my past had sadly caught up to me. No matter what it takes don't give in to despair and open the black box to find out about who you truly are and my past which i never wanted to tell you about. And remember even if we're gone we will always watch over you and stay by your side. Your Father Robert Schtauffen the former mercenary "Reaper"
"PS: all the equipment is yours to take treat it well."
"The former mercenary…. Reaper? A fancy name it truly suited father well...hehehehe... No matter it takes I can't even form a smile anymore. Well I can at least check out the equipment and afterwards open the box as Father told me to." Nero said
At the wall in the corridor of the room various things had been placed around starting from a dark leather jacket with a hoodie and near it was a mask that looked like a laughing skull.
On the lower parts of the corridor lied a strange sword which has an ornately etched base, and appears to be modeled after the German Großes Messer (lit. "Great Knife"), but its unique feature is it has been specially customized with some sort of gear that shifts on turns.
"Oh... This fancy guy looks interesting!" Said Nero with new found enthusiasm to the strange sword.
As the curious boy picked up the blade and tried twisting the handle something unimaginable happened! The blade roared and it started to heat up rapidly for unknown reason to the boy.
"How is this even possible! What is this sound…(twist...twist….WRRHRHRH!) Holy fuck it's like a scream of some sort of beast!... And wait I can see steam coming from the blade and wait is that fire?" Just as Nero thought about the subject he saw a note which lied near the wall where the blade was located.
"So you checked up the fancy sword huh? I knew it would pique your interest. It is a special sword made by a blacksmith named Agnus that used some unknown form of magic to make it work like this, when you heat up the blade enough you can cut almost through anything like butter through the sheer temperature of it, also when you make a horizontal slash when it heats to critical levels (It will scream a lot.) It will spew a condensed liquid that flames up on its route causing some high level destruction around you. Be careful with it."
Your dear Father Robert
PS: Also the jacket and the mask are special as well. You will find out what I mean in due time.
"Well father you sure surprised me a lot with this." Thought Nero with a small smile
As the boy wondered about the great equipment he thought about the box contents as well so with sheer interest in mind he opened it. In the box there was a pitch black right hand gauntlet with some sort of eye located near the finger sockets closed for now.
"Well i have nothing to lose so it's worth a check." The boy said
After encasing his hand in the gauntlet out of nowhere the eye opened and examined the boy and afterwards it said.
"You're a descendant of the first Dark Lord and thy worthy of wielding us…"
"What? A Dark Lord? And most importantly what or who are you?" Asked Nero shocked to the core.
And suddenly the gauntlet shouted with all its power.
"WE ARE THE GEAR OF DAMNATION! WE POSSESS THE POWER OF THE MOST UNIMAGINABLE DARKNESS ONCE CALLED THE ABYSS IN THE ANCIENT TIMES RULED AND USED BY THE FIRST DARK LORD CALLED SIEGFRIED SCHTAUFFEN ! WE ARE THE ANCIENT DEMONS OF THE DARKEST OF TIMES CREATED FROM THE PURE DARKNESS AT THE DAYS OF NOTHINGNESS. FEARED BY THE TRUE CREATOR AND GODS THEMSELVES! WE ARE THE FORCE THAT BRINGS CARNAGE AND DESTRUCTION UPON THOSE WHICH OUR WIELDER SEES AS ENEMIES! YOU WILL ASCEND HOST AND YOU WILL BE THE NEW DARK LORD OF THIS TIMELINE! WE SHALL GRANT YOU AN IMMORTAL BODY NOT BOUNDED BY LIFE AND DEATH AND YOUR AGE SHALL BE LOCKED AT THE AGE OF YOUR PRIME! YOU WILL BE REBORN AS AN ANCIENT DEMON WHICH WIELDS THE DAMNED POWERS OF THE ABYSS ALONG WITH THE LEGENDARY BLADE THAT STROUGHT FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF OUR ENEMIES!
The shocked boy didn't even had time to interject as an unknown rift started to suck him inside along with everything in the room. Nero started to fall into a dark pit and passed out in the process.
(At an Unknown place, Time Unknown)
Nero woke up and after opening his dazed eyes he started to examine the surroundings of the place he got dropped in.
The boy has been placed in a some sort of dark castle in a place filled with darkness and a ghastly sky with a perfect silence around the place he couldn't hear anything as if the whole place has been dead for a long time. After standing up and moving a few steps forward the room started to sparkle with light from the torches located near the ceiling platforms.
And then the boy saw a figure shrouded in a cloak of darkness, sitting in a scary looking throne decorated with skulls in a gray tone. So Nero went forward to the throne to check out if the strange being is dead or not.
Just as the boy was near to the being he recalled the words the gauntlet spoke to him.
"(THE FIRST DARK LORD CALLED SIEGFRIED SCHTAUFFEN!)"
So Nero out of nothing left asked the being.
"Siegfried Schtauffen the first Dark Lord is that you?"
The being didn't answer for some time and as the boy stepped closer the aforementioned being opened its eyes and answered.
"Indeed I'm child and so it seems the gear told you about my existence?"
"Only your name and title." Nero answered
Then the now revealed Siegfried pondered in his thoughts and said the following along with his figure and posture being revealed to the boy. He was a tall man with 6/1 height with long white hair cascading from his back and glowing red eyes with a dark dot in the center of it. Almost the same as the gauntlet one although it differed by the feral slit on it.
"Well then allow me to tell you my story along with the facts you strive to know about."
"How do you know that sir Siegfried?" Nero Said
"Oh don't call me by sir just Sieg or Siegfried will suffice and you asked me how do I know what you desired?"
The boy nodded.
"I watched you from here at the moment of your birth Nero as you are my true descendant in our family line. Before you try to interject me i also saw what happened in Bibury and I'm as mad as you are. You had a loving mother and a great father and a young sister which had a shiny road ahead of her. And your father was a great man as well. I will tell you the tale about his past as well his former line of work..."
Nero couldn't hold it enough and interjected with a shout
"Why didn't you help us Sieg! You could save them from that fate!"
Then Siegfried with a sad look on his face replied to the boy.
"Sadly I couldn't since I'm sealed in this realm by the Biblical God for my doings in the past. And I couldn't lend my powers to your father since he wasn't compatible with them. Due to this he didn't inherit my powers and the connection with the Abyss as well, although you are the one born with a connection to it. At that time you didn't have the gauntlet and your body wasn't ready for such power as mine. Do you remember what the gear said to you about being reborn?"
Nero nodded and answered.
"Yes it said I will be reborn as an ancient demon with an immortal body to the doings of time and my age will be locked at the days of my prime. Is that what you meant?
Sieg nodded and answered as well.
That's correct although the final choice regarding this matter is up to you Nero. You will lose your humanity and you will be bound to an eternal life although you can be killed by the most powerful holy weapons like the True Longinus and powers as well. And your body can sustain wounds although they will be healed in a method I will describe later. Remember no matter what you choose I will always be here to support you in your journey as for me you're just as my child. So what is your answer?"
Nero thought about the things Sieg told him. Being something else than human scared the boy and in the same time fascinated him and before he could think about the matter more he recalled what happened today. What he lost in a glimpse of a moment the answer could be only one for the boy.
"I accept my fate Sieg if your power and my new body will help me avenge my loss and slay Kokabiel I will gladly accept it with open hands. I have nothing else left in my life. Oh well almost since you're here with me at least." Nero answered with a sly smile
Sieg was shocked at the statement of the boy. It was almost as his own fate at his early days replayed itself right before his eyes, so as of it Sieg asked again.
"Tell me one more thing Nero what do you think of God after this atrocity happened to you?."
Nero answered right away without even a thought before it.
"I despise him. I HATE HIM! HE BROUGHT NOTHING BUT SUFFERING TO US TO OUR FAMILY! HE CREATED HUMANS TO LET THEM SUFFER AND BE SLAIN LIKE CATTLE FOR HIS OWN TWISTED GAME! EVEN HIS OWN CHILDREN WHICH HE CAST AWAY FROM HEAVEN DID ONLY BRING TORMENT AND SUFFERING TO US! What else can I think of him Sieg? I only want him to die in front of my eyes along with Kokabiel and the rest of the Fallen race they deserve more than death for their doings and if that's my fate to bring the judgment for my suffering then so be it. I will be a walking mass of hatred and without remorse I will strike them down and then my life will be complete."
Sieg wasn't exactly surprised by the sudden outburst of the boy. Well it was to be expected although by watching the boy and seeing the never ending hatred in his eyes he again saw a flashback of his old self. Because children of god took everything from his life as well just by the sole fact that he was human cattle and his old medieval town was an eyesore in their point of view. Just to make Nero feel better he told him a shocking fact.
"Well Nero the God which we both hated with all our hearts is already dead..."
Nero was to say the least. Shocked to the core and he couldn't say a word and then Sieg continued.
"As your father told you earlier the 3 factions from the Bible truly exist I mean the Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils alike. 600 years ago there was a big war between the 3 factions and God died back then along with the Satans from Ars Goetia. The fallen kind suffered heavy losses upon its population but the leaders prevailed."
Siegfried told Nero the whole story about the factions as well the 3rd great war and him taking part in it as well. He has been sealed by God in his final moments after Siegfried mortally wounded him with his cursed blade Soul Edge and afterwards he has been banished to the Abyss.
As Nero listened to the story he had many questions but the most crucial ones were the ones regarding the weapon that managed to kill a God and as well what the Abyss truly is.
"Sieg can I ask you a question?" Nero interjected
"Yes what is it?" Sieg replied
"What exactly Soul Edge is and what is this place we are in now I mean the Abyss?"
Siegfried with a thoughtful look started to tell yet another tale to the boy.
"To actually start the tale I will need to tell you about my past and how I found the blade. So to start it my dear boy I experienced almost the same loss as you did. Although in my case the whole town and our family castle has been destroyed to dust only because it was located near a war zone in the 3rd Great War.
Well these beings treated our town as a mere crossfire that couldn't be avoided. Each side thought that their objective was just. So they didn't mind that a whole town with over 30000 people got destroyed leaving me as the only survivor of the outburst... When the battle seized I went to check the battlefield and on the middle of a blood soaked hill I saw a blade embedded onto it.
It called me to pick it up and if I do so it will fulfill the dream of my revenge.
Strange as it was the blade was ordinary to a fault. Well on the first sight of it, after I picked it up I experienced the biggest trial in my new found purpose of life. The Blade tried to take over my mind and drive me insane. It almost succeeded its task, but after almost passing out I experienced a flashback of what happened that day. I found a drive to survive its wicked power to fulfill my vengeance.
After trying to resist the evil will of the blade for 15 hours straight... It suddenly stopped and said that I'm worthy to wield it and burst out a beam of bright light onto the sky. Thus creating the Seed of Evil which afterwards I ate as the blade told me too.
Now what exactly was the blade and what did the Seed of Evil did you may ask?"
Nero nodded after listening to the whole story
"The blade was forged as an ordinary one with nothing special about it, but after being bathed in blood and hatred countless times the sword turned into a demonic weapon and gained a wicked soul called Inferno. Those who grasp its hilt are unable to escape its curse, as its spirit invades the mind like a parasite and drives its wielder insane. Its blade soaks in blood and power and it remains a polished red, also it's distinguished by the animate eye located near the handle of the blade. I was the first wielder that resisted the curse and broke the meaning of the legend." Siegfried took a break and resumed, after a short while
Thus, I've been deemed worthy of wielding it. Normally the blade would corrupt the wielder and suck his life out along with his soul to suffer in eternal torment.
Now moving towards the seed subject... Well after eating it I learned the truth about the sole creation of the world. There was once only darkness and light and the true creator created the world with using both of the aforementioned elements.
The remaining powers of light forged heaven which later the Biblical God resided in possessing a fraction of true creator's power, while the everlasting darkness was used to forge the realm of the Abyss which we reside in as of now.
Biblical god created hell which was deemed as the location of the darkness which was indeed false. And the realm of the Abyss with the most wicked souls and the most corrupt power of the true darkness has been forgotten, after digesting the seed I could warp myself onto the Abyss just as I warped you inside here as well by the link of the gauntlet. Later than you may now the human realm was created which worked as a neutral field for the humans to live…"
After listening to Siegfried's story Nero had a lot to ask about the subject but as he wanted to interject for a little while Sieg read the boy intentions like an open book and said.
"After I finish my tale you will have the opportunity to ask me out about everything Nero just let me finish." Sieg said with a sly smile
"So to finish the story!" Sieg said
"After coming to the Abyss I've found out that by being Soul Edge's true wielder I could roam the place freely without being sentenced to death by the corruption around here. Then I found this place but it was only a dimly lit altar with the gauntlet residing on it.
By picking up the gauntlet I've gained the powers of the Damnation Gear later after my evolution to an ancient demon. It let me control this realm freely and create things I wanted to make. This sole castle is the memento of our older one. Created by my will alone. Then the Souls of the Damned told me the truth about my destiny of being the First Dark Lord to roam the earth. To make it simple the whole Abyss as well as its power are the same as the first darkness at the times of the true creator. I've trained at this place since the passing of time was a lot slower in here then as of the realm of the living. I trained here for 10 years not aging a single bit while in the world above me 300 years had already passed.
I've grasped the power of the Abyss making it mine to control as well as further empowering the blade by letting it consume the souls of the damned in this realm. Later I've managed to manifest my armor. But as you see I lack the helmet as of now because after being sealed I couldn't manifest its true power any longer.
And at the moment that happened 600 years ago I've made myself known on the culmination of the war. I've declared the Dark Lord has stepped on the land to punish the higher beings for tormenting the humanity. I've managed to slaughter 350000 men that day... Along with the Biblical God and the Satans as well. Although God in his final moments using the last fractions of his power and managed to banish me to the Abyss forever without a chance to ever leave it again.
After the events of that day I watched from here at the progress of the humanity and the changes of the world, along with seeing my wife giving birth to my child which later managed to save our family line from extinction. Then after 3 decades your father has been born. At his age of 12 I managed to get in contact with him in his Mindscape. Your father was a child of war. He had lost everything just as us and managed to survive in the harsh reality making himself known as the Mercenary Reaper. Sadly as I said earlier your father lacked the potential to be a wielder of Soul Edge along with the Gear even though he was from our line, after your Father visited Bibury he had meet your mother Annette and fell in love with her. This gave birth to you and your sister as well although your sister was the same case as your father was. I've sensed the potential in you so, I conversed about the subject with Robert and I've managed to send the gauntlet to him. He stashed the gauntlet in the box and left it there hoping that the day of you wielding it and experiencing the same fate as me won't happen."
And thus Siegfried finished his story with a tired sigh and informing Nero that he can ask away anything he wants, but the boy didn't want to ask for anything anymore. He understood the whole message perfectly and what it means to him now.
"Well Sieg I can't even muster a bit of a will to ask you about anything since you explained everything in a perfect way. My only question will be how can I evolve and will you train me so I can attain the power needed for my purpose." Nero said with new found drive in his life.
Sieg nodded and after a while of silence, he told the boy how to do the entire process.
"Awake the Gear Nero and order it to perform it. You will probably pass out again from the sheer pain of it. But I believe in you my child." Siegfried answered
Nero nodded and shouted
"DAMNATION GEAR! AWAKE AND LET ME ASCEND TO DEMONHOOD AS I ACCEPT MY FATE AND I SHALL BE THE NEXT DARK LORD TO ROAM THE EARTH!"
After few seconds the eye opened once more and answered to its wielder's pleas and started the process of ascension.
"WE SHALL ANSWER TO THE PLEAS OF OUR LORD AND LET THE BIRTH OF THE NEW DARK LORD BEGIN!"
The boy passed out leaving the gear do its job.
And so with this we begin the journey of the young boy to be soon filled with bloodshed and strife…
This is my first fan fiction and it will be a story of the new Dark Lord later the feared Black Reaper that will appear in the story of Nomadic Chaos named : "The Tale of the Hyoudou Brothers" The story is a tale of his past to let him be more discern able and better known to the readers at the time of his arrival.
I hope you will like the Debut chapter of my story and I would like to thank Nomadic Chaos for motivating me to publish this story as well to say you should check out his aforementioned fic because it is a thing of reasonable beauty and one of it's only kind. ;) I hope the long conversation will not scare you off...
Please Review this small outburst of my imagination and I will see you next time!
Next Chapter : The Training and First Task of the new Mercenary.
