Chapter 1
(Dante's pov)
Ever wake up...find yourself in a favorite game you like...and all of sudden you almost became something you didn't want to become but have no choice but just wing it? That's what happened to me. It started after a huge update on a game called AQ worlds when it claims that it can warp players in the game. I found it stupid at first but to my curiousity, I started the game up and wouldn't you know it...it actually warped me in the game. But with a twist...I find myself out cold in the dungeon of Shadowfall. Yeah...Gravelyn's home. Now here's something what was bothering me. Did the game just teleport the gamers to join good or evil to stop the chaos lords or just for fun? Speaking of her, she enters in the dungeon that I was in while I was unconscious to check if I was up according to her. Of course I wake up from the sound of the cell door opening and believe me the loud sound of the heavy steel door was probably would be enough to wake you up. As I see her, she gives me the usual emotionless stare that I swear gave me goosebumps.
"Where am I...?" I asked rather tired.
"You are in Shadowfall. Home of the Shadowscythe. Where you will be staying for now on."
My eyes went wide when she said that. She's joking right? Right?!
"What? Why am I here? I'm nothing special. I'm just a normal guy." I said with a bit of fear.
She suddenly smirks evilly as if she knew what I was going to say.
"Correction. Was normal. You see...a group of Swordhaven soldiers attempted to eliminate you cause of the darkness that was sealed in your heart. They were even going to experiment on you to see if they could contain the darkness from your body and possibly control it. But you didn't let that happened...you killed them single handily with the power of darkness. You showed no mercy...no remorse...according from my scouts. When my soldiers found you, you were unconscious surrounded by the bodies of the royal guards of Swordhaven and here you are...safe from the cowardly royal guards."
Did I do that...? I may have...but I probably don't remember it...probably for the best...I don't want to remember the terrible things I may have done...
"Thank you...I guess." I groaned.
"There's no need to thank me. Oh...here are my manners...? I am Gravelyn. Empress of Shadowscythe. And you are...?"
Trying to get me comfortable around you, eh?
"Dante." I sighed.
Before she could say anything else, a skeleton soldier rushes to Gravelyn and was making hissing and rattling noises with his teeth. Gravelyn looks at the skeleton rather shocked to hear that.
"What?!" She shouted as rushes out the dungeon.
The skeleton soldier rushes to her as I followed her to a balcony. As I got there she saw Drakath killing Sepulchure and let me tell...it was a horrific sight to see. Drakath pulls what looks like a heart out of Sepulchure's chest and crushes it killing Sepulchure by an instant.
"Father! Noo!" Gravelyn shouted.
Yeah...Gravelyn's father...was murdered in cold blood by the hands of the champion of chaos...Drakath. he sees me and Gravelyn and I see a smirk on his face as he shoots the fortress down with his power of chaos. I held Gravelyn close to me so that she didn't fall out of the fortress as I used my power of darkness to grab on the wall as the fortress went crashing down on the ground. Thankfully, when the fortress crashed no one was hurt...well except for a couple of skeleton soldiers but they can't feel a thing.
"Are you okay?" I ask Gravelyn with concern.
As I let go of the wall, She looks at me with shock as I let her go.
"You...saved me." She says.
"Yeah. Returning the favor from helping me avoid the Swordhaven soldiers." I smiled.
She smiles faintly back as we walk to the throne room only to be greeted by Cleric Casca'de.
"My lady! Are you okay?!" She asks Gravelyn in a panic.
"I'm fine. It's thanks to Dante he saved me from falling." Gravelyn says as she sat on her throne.
Casca'de sighs as she sees me with a smile.
"You have the Shadowscythe's eternal thanks. We are powerless without her and her leadership."
"Which begs the question, Dante...are you willing to serve the Shadowscythe to eliminate the threat who killed my father?" Gravelyn asks me.
"I will lay my life for you for your protection, Empress Gravelyn." I bowed to Gravelyn.
The satisfaction smirk she gives me tells me that she approved me as part of the Shadowscythe. Now begins of my adventures of being a champion for the Shadowscythe...what fate has in store for me was something that I always wanted to know...
