It was nighttime and the young man was awoken by a thought... "*pants* I guess I did it again huh." Noticing a sleeping princess was beside him. The young man started to think of his plans for the upcoming days. 'Tomorrow will be the day I'll be getting my seventh seal. I can feel the seal of undying hero radiating in me. It wants me to unleash it. Wanting to fight someone these are the effects I'll have to endure for the next days of my journey as the next hero. Six seals... Six different people already gave me their trust to protect the world. I lost a friend already, should I continue on this journey?' The young man was suddenly hugged by the sleeping princess right beside him. 'I guess I can't just give up yet. I just cannot die yet... I haven't saved enough people yet. No, not yet.' The young man went back to sleep after that.
Meanwhile in an unknown location... "The young man is already at a certain point of choice where he can stop his journey there and give up or continue on this journey of many problems." "Let say that this young man is foolish enough to turn against our ideals for this world and starts to follow the footsteps of the former hero. What do think of that?" "Well, that is possible if that's the case then we should monitor this young man to keep a record of his actions. What do you think about that?" "No, we should end this young man's life and take the seals ourselves and save this world already." "All of your ideas are good but I have already planned something for him already and I just need the perfect time to do it." "Hmm... If this plan fails, I'll monitor this young man myself." Three men argued over what is the best way to handle the young man. A man there was certain that his plan on the young man would benefit everyone in the most acceptable way. "We should stop arguing and just observe the current situation of the young man and if something off happens we will act upon the case. Got it." The other men agreed on this statement.
Morning... The two prepared themselves for the next challenge on the memorial of the seventh seal. They met the guardian there which said. "This memorial will give you the seal if you satisfy the needs of the seal. For the needs of the seals is to give knowledge. If you let the seal go to your mind the seal might give itself to you if the seal is satisfied with you." The young man replied. "Then how do I do it then?" The Guardian revealed a stone tablet with words from the previous world. It translates as 'Knowledge is a weapon, it is a power that can be good or evil, but if handled correctly it can overthrow strength. But be wise if you're reading this because having great knowledge comes with greater risk of despair to once self. If so the knowledge becomes a ticking bomb if mishandled it can bring death to once self. Heed my warning user, knowledge must be handled with great courage, faith, self-control, and patience.' The ritual began and the spirit inside the stone tablet resonated and started to enter the young man's mind. Seeing that the spirit is reading the history of the young man and was surprised that he was still alive all these years... "Young man... You've been alive since the apocalypse. You've seen despair and destruction, your history you've been through but your knowledge has never let you down. And that's what I am surprised at. You are an amazing person young man, therefore, I'll give you permission to acquire this seal." The young man acquires the seal from the tablet without any hitch.
After getting the seventh seal the two continued to head north. They've prepared a camp near a small hill. When suddenly the young man saw an image on his mind... It was foresight. A foresight of what the young man will do if he was careless of his actions and choices. The young man saw a great disaster... One, that is more worst than the apocalypse that occurred tens of thousands of years ago. The image had a faceless man ruling over the destroyed land, despair was at every corner and people are killing each other over small things. And much, much more horrible things the young man saw on the image. "Was that the side-effect of the seal of the Mr. Nex. The princess took notice and started to worry about the young man's health. "Hey, are you feeling okay?" Said the princess in a worried tone. The young man replied. "I'm fine its just a side-effect just kicked in and its not good. It's from the foresight seal that I acquired from Mr. Nex and the foresight wasn't good." The princess asked. "Tell me what's the foresight was." The young man replied. "The foresight I saw was a great disaster and everyone was killing each other, though the foresight didn't have any faces on the people on it, it would seem that if we made a bad decision on our journey it might end in that disaster." The princess did not reply and the two gave themselves some time to think about what possible things that might affect the future of the world.
Another day passes and the two traveled to a forest when suddenly... An ambush happened and they were outnumbered the two ran across the forest to confuse the enemies when suddenly a bright light came and attacked the enemies that followed them one did survive. "Oh! No! The Priest had arrived! Retreat! I Repeat, Retreat!" The enemies weren't lucky with that also. A young man on a rock was standing with a sword in his hand... And said. "Hey, you didn't wait for me." The young man was surprised by the figure that was standing right in front of him. "No, It can't be!" The princess was surprised also...
Who is this man and why do the enemies fear him?
