Prologue

The universe holds many secrets, and many worlds. Each was interconnected throughout a series of divine intervention, unbeknownst of its sources. As there was the sun, stars and the moon, various types of energy existed, providing advantages of enormous proportion to the creatures that could use it, and one of these energy are called magic, commonly wielded by most of the inhabitant of a massive world. It wasn’t a source that was discovered immediately however, at least for one particular species, as the process of evolution took millions of years for that species, whom would later be well known for being able to sufficiently taken better control of magic than almost anything else in the world, the humans. Certain other species could use the energy as well, example being of snakes, lions, ogres and goblins, but many couldn’t quite obtained the achievement to use magic to reached the degree that humans could. For hundreds to thousands of years, ever since the dawn of mankind, the world has truly changed, as mankind climbed up the chain of command. Wars had begun between major races and species, resulting in numerous severities and the extinction of the weak. Unity started to crumbled, although certain relationships may still stands against the tide of time and couldn’t be influenced by betrayals and agitators.  These unprecedented events have caused wars and suffering, spilling endless streams of blood as countless fought against another for the sole control of their territories. Those that used to govern had fallen and discrepancy formed from one places to another. However, despite of long lasting chaotic attributes, decision to put an end to the destruction would sometimes surfaced, commonly aren’t long lasting. After a very long time, a successful treaty was finally made, signed in agreement by the leaders of each major race. New orders was issues by the leader of humanity that’s succeeded in the domination of their lands, forming empires and kingdom for various reasons , including of doing so for the purpose of ruling the other species, and those of normal citizens. Likewise, other thriving communities grew, becoming progressive, diverse and multicultural. Huge part of the world would soon become more peaceful and orderly, going through the passage of time as modernization happens and all sorts of developments were made. Unfortunately, many underdeveloped areas were still overwhelmed by the flames of battles, famines, and other atrocities, ignored by the better civilization and that would subsequently gave birth to others that harbored deep grudges. Rebellious actions against the kingdoms and empires were always occurring, igniting retribution that is soon to come.

Somewhere in the forest outside the kingdom of Artrillian, smokes are clouding the skies, coloring it black. It is an evening that is draped in orange, caused by the sun. A village is on fire, and people are scattering about running for their life, from men mounted on horse, armed with swords, bows, lances and spears. Capable villagers tries to fought the enemies whom were dressed as knights with magic skill, item throwing and using blunt weapons, but was easily defeated. After the attack had withered down, a lot of dead bodies are seen on the ground, soaking in red and burning. The perpetrators carve their smile in the dark, but it isn’t long lasting due to sudden attack from the nearby wood. Men wearing robes comes out in considerable numbers, also using horses and armed with weapons, ready for combat. Unaware knights were caught by surprise, and killed in the ambush through being stabbed through their armored chest, penetrated by magic infused swords. Arm was sliced and heads was beheaded. However, the numbers of the newly arrived retaliators was heavily out weighted by their enemies, increasing the fighting spirits of the attacked group.

“They are outnumbered! Show no fear and kill them all!”

The tide wasn’t quickly overturned due to the skillfulness of the men in robes. Arrows, swords and spear strike was deflected by magical shield, casted by the opposition. They’re proven to bear the strength of many, but even an ant could injure a giant if unity was made. Few of the knights attacked a single man, focusing their magic based attack that comes out as a torrent of red light from their right palm. The target noticed the oncoming beam and tried to block with the shield he carried but the force were strong enough to caused him to fall off from his horse. Being on foot, he quickly gathers his stability after falling to his back and throw away the used up shield. A dual arming sword was unsheathed from his belt, hidden behind the long robes that also covered his face. His horse ran off and he had to make do on foot, running quickly to reach his opponents. His fast movement is disorienting and the knight couldn’t keep up, asserting that he is very fast. Not a few seconds later, he managed to get near his target and cut off the legs of a horse, resulting in the rider to tumble down to the ground with the animal. He didn’t pay any heed to the fallen one and resume to attacking more of the horses around him. Right after the previously brought down knight get back to his own two feet, his head was chopped off in an instant by one of the other men in robes. The same action was repeated for a few times, with the leg of the horses was cut and its riders fall, and was immediately killed after they’ve stand up. Many of the other armored men are having difficulties in the battle, with their numbers dwindling and one of them could tell that it wouldn’t end well.

“Fuck, we’re all going to die at this rate. This isn’t what was supposed to happen!”

Completely distracted, he spoke alone, not realizing that someone is gaining distance toward him. His horse however noticed, neigh loudly before jumping. He is startled by the sudden motion and with that, caught sight of an approaching entity on his right eye. He is about to move his sword, but everything is too late as two arming swords flashes in red before his very eyes, and is used to cut off the right leg that’s riding the horse. The animal spurted out blood before falling down, trapping the gravely injured rider by its heavy weight. The man is screaming in pain, helplessly unable to move. Nearby knights saw the incident and one of them yell out an order.

“Sir Rialdo had been taken out! Retreat!”

As the knights soon started galloping away from the battleground, the location became quieter, filled with the sound of agonizing pain and burning matter, soon to be turned into ashes. The man with the dual arming swords is staring at Sir Rialdo, whom face is overwhelmed with horror, though he could still talk.

“W—who are you people?! Do you know what would happen---“

He is intercepted before he could finish.

“Yes. I know what would happen. Every one of you kept mentioning the same thing before ended up dead. The question is however, are people like you prepared to answer for your sins?”

Being scared by a gaze, Sir Rialdo ended up speechless. One of the men in robes approached them, soon to be talking as he lowered his hood.

“Leonard, the enemies had run off to the plains of Agertha. There are more villages over at that side, and we need to stop them from committing more atrocities. Some of the others are already pursuing them.”

‘Leonard?’, whispered Rialdo, as he’s listening to the conversation.

“How many more are left?”

“There are approximately 25 more of them. And all 10 of our men are still alive, while we succeeded in killing 15 of the enemies”.

The comrade continues explaining, followed by Leo as he’s asking something else.

“Do we have any information concerning the headquarters of these knights?”

“No. But I still believe that they’re sent by someone in the royal castle, even if these men wore no specific insignias and marking”.

As he had finished talking, Leo sent him on his way.

“You go on ahead and treat the wounds of the surviving villagers. Gather them all and I will come by for further instructions”.

He acknowledged the order and move on. Leo looks back at the man beneath his feet. He slash the air using the left sword to rid it of blood, before sheathing it inside a scabbard that was hang onto his belt, and speak afterward.  

“Who are you working for?”

A question was asked but Sir Rialdo kept his silence.

“What is the next village that you intended on destroying?”

Once again, no word was uttered. Leo suddenly bowed down, brought about a strong sense of bewilderment to the enemy in front of him.    

“Thank you for following my expectation. I’m grateful that you are loyal.”

As soon as Leo stand properly again, he lowered his hood, revealing a bright, blonde hair. Rialdo was deeply shocked by the sighting, and open his eyes wide.

“You!”

Before he could continue any further, his throat was unable to speak anymore and his vision started spinning, before coming to a stop a second after. He could only see a glimpse of the orange sky, mostly shrouded by black smoke. His consciousness slowly dissipated, as everything is going dark.

   

    

      

Some things just never change.

11/05/2017

Heh, its been a while apparently since my last post here, approximately 7 days later. I've been caught up with exams stuff lately and including busy working with my chapters, which isn't going too well, to be honest. Its not that I don't have any idea or anything, in fact, its been roaming in my head 24/7 but putting in down in words is hard when my English hasn't been all that good in the first place, especially regarding my tense and grammar skills. Its truly hurt knowing that your English mastery hasn't been always that good in the first place, despite of being praised and revered for it back in high school and during the earlier days at Unisel. These days, my typing skills had been referred to as vomit inducing too, which added more into the anguish of having to realized the revelation that I thought I was typing something fancy but hell, my worthiness isn't even equivalent to the possession of English skills belonging to an natural English speaking middle school kids. It truly angers me a bit to be honest, being told that what I could do is merely nothing and overwhelmed with errors, since people around me had always told that I'm flawless with this language and capable of continuing into the highest level just by dwelling in this sort of study alone, a thing that I had realized to be somewhat a conspicuous amount of exaggeration.

And now to avoid from continuing that opening which seems to cut deep on the edge and self insults, I haven't been willing to make much new posts here now than before, as the reasons was stated earlier, exams is bringing me down a bit and I'm busy trying to find the best way to describe my ideas and turn it into an amazing story line, well, not amazing I think but at least, somewhat enjoyable. My prologue is almost done, and the first chapter is moving slowly but smooth. I'm still wandering whether I should give names or not to the magical enchantment but at the same time, it would be too much of a bother to do so because my head is already full of having to focus on other things as well, like the plot, settings, characters, monsters, weapons, kingdoms, empires and all that relevant shit. Luckily still, I still have the supports of my beloved friends at the discord server, and I totally appreciated that they've have been helping me out with things, even in trying to tell me that what I wrote is chocked full with craps and errors. To be honest, I was very angry when I was told that my grammars and tenses is bad, like I've said before but I guess that guy does meant guy since he's trying to assist me and all. The thing is though, I don't really help with that right now because all I want to do is to type and spread everything in my head onto a piece of virtual papers. I just really want to clear all of it out of there, and we can talk about all the editing that I need later on, that is, if I even managed to succeed in finishing a chapter or the prologue. I'm kinda bummed out as the progress is advancing like a turtle that's trying to move from one point to another. 

For the third paragraph here, I want to talk about my experiences with anime groups on Facebook. I had talked about this before in my posts back in the older days I believed, since I had "infiltrated" these kind of settings since 2013 and 2014. To give more clearer information on these groups, its all anime groups that was made at Malaysia, as almost all the members are from the same nation too, just like me. I'm simply going to talk about one group that is, since they're entirely similar to one another in terms of contents and comments. I do believed this is actually the same group that I had joined before sometimes ago, which is an absolutely weird coincidence and its also pretty amazing in knowing that the group had succeeded in being active for over 4 to 5 years already, an absolute rare feats for an online community. Well, I guess it isn't really that rare when you still have places like reddit but I hope anyone could get a drift of what I'm meant by that. No? I don't care still. 

Since I forgot the password to my first ever Facebook account since I was being so stupid and changed the password into something else by that time and accidentally forgot what it was by the day's after, I had to make a new account, which I already did by last year and visited the groups all over again, in trying to check on the notion whether what's going on with the daily Malaysian anime fans community. Not to my bewilderment of course, things have never really changed. 

Posts talking about hating on ecchi and old cliches are still happening, which may seems understandable at first because yeah, who really like watching another magical academy crap, swords wielding male harem protagonist that's gonna get girls fawning over his dick even though that he's so dense and stupid and such? Of course, I don't mind at all with these kind of things even though that I'm sounded like trying to mock on it but I'm just doing in to represent the overall opinions regarding such subject. I just don't really like harem and romance right now so I'd usually stay away from those titles instead of talking shit about them since its simply time wasting and ignorant to kept uttering bad words about the subjects that you disapproved off. Its really just that simple in the end, if you don't like something, don't watch it, let others enjoy it and go do your own thing but no, some people really got to make it worse for other relevant parties. In this season alone, there isn't all that much ecchi and harem stuff, which I could tell since I'm following a lot of titles every seasons. I may or may not watch them however and only knew about the existence of it so, my view may not worth all that much either, as well as my opinion. To make off with a list, lets see how many anime that I knew about in this season.

There's Tsuki ga Kirei, Renai Bokun, Bahamut season 2, that chinese chanime thing, Shingeki no Kyojin season 2, Sin Nanatsu no Taizai, Uchouten Kazoku Season 2, Sakura Quest, Frame Arms Girl, Gin no Guardian, Natsume Roku (season 6 or 7), Hinako Note, Little Witch Academia, Boku no Hero Academia, Rokudenashi Akashic, Souryo to Majiwaru, Eromanga sensei, Saenai Heroine season 2, Alice to Zouroku, Boruto, Re;Creators, Atom The Beginning, Berserk 2017, Clockwork Planet, 100% Pascal Sensei, Fukumenkei Noise, Kenka Banchou Otome, Kyoukai no Rinne season 3, Love Kome, Monster Strike 2, Oushitsu Kyoushi Hain, Sagrada Reset, Seikaisuru Kado, Tiger Mask W, Warau Salesman NEW, Twin Angel Break, Yowamushi Pedal New Generation, Granblue Fantasy, Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism, Danmachi Oratoria and...that's all I know off, I supposed. 

I knew where I'm going with this but hell, its like the best kind of argument to be made against people that are so shallow and ignorant that they had to resorted toward making claims as if the industry have nothing to offer but recycled cliches and ecchi to them, despite of the fact that there's barely a few titles every season that could even be considered as a direct suitable content for their unaware heart to kept hating at. From what I could see here anyway, the criteria that could meet these so called "ecchi and worthless harem shit" are Renai Bokun, Sin Nanatsu, Busou Shoujo (?), Eromanga, and...well, what do you know? I counted at least 4 alone. 4 out of fucking 40 titles. Rokudenashi shouldn't even be considered as an ecchi or an harem because only the first episode had fanservice and the main girls ain't even flocking to the main protagonist, it also have entertaining contents at the same time. Eromanga isn't so much of a trash as I find it to be very enjoyable and funny as well, even if it totally fit the criteria because hell, what do you know?! I'm not a part of their "I'mma hate on this shit here" guild. Sin Nanatsu have been so much of a guilty pleasure due to its all girls characters and delicious services. I'm no really sure about Renai Bokun and Busou Shoujo myself because I don't watch them but I do have the title in my hard drive. From my sight so far, these two titles are probably a harem, with Renai Bokun having said to be truly pleasant to watch, thus far. Souryo to Majiwaru actually have fanservice and adult content but I didn't put it on the list because its a serious show that isn't designed to be an ecchi or anything like that. 

Well, there it is for my post thus far for today. I managed to prove that those people at the group are somewhat clueless and being hateful and I'm having fun with it. There's a lot more contents to speak off regarding their action there such as hating on the Japanese animation industry as well but I don't really want to talk about that right now. I may not update things as frequent anymore since I want to work on my chapters. Good bye.

There's things to talk about now.

04/05/2017

All right, first of all, I'm kinda pissed off right now. However, I'm trying my best to suppressed my anger but it isn't going very well while I'm typing this, not to mentions the fact that I was spelling suppressed wrong and I didn't have the idea it was supposed to be spelled like that instead of "surpressed". Google was there to help me, that is, and without it, I might've trashed this laptop already but that wouldn't happen either probably. There would be nothing for me to use if that was the case, and I ain't some motherfucking rich dumbass that kept acting like a jerk, drove a goddamn Nissan Murano and lived in some place where the currency is valued greatly but still could complained about their so called expensive gas per liters despite of the fact that their pockets are deep and owned an expensive laptop! (plus figurines and whatever else the fucking thing that they kept).

It has been quite a few days ever since I'd last posted here, partly because I was busy these days doing nothing and was too tired to accomplish anything of sorts that's worthy of being called as an great self achievements. I saw my last post here back before I were heading to my village for some free foods and a bit of works, and its been cut short because the stupid blogger app on android is too buggy. There's much to it than just a few hundred (that is if it even reached that many) words and it was all forfeited, sucked into a black hole of stupid programming.

 Update - --- -- - -
Okay, so, currently its been 4 to 5 hours since my last paragraph above, as I discontinued this post and ended up chatting on discord instead about my old work. Luckily however, doing so gave me the spirit to continue working on that thing again, plus they're all nice, yasashi minna. Okay, I may spelled that Japanese wrong but I don't really care right now, to be honest. Also, I'm no longer as furious as before, which is good for me because its not really my thing to be so angry and mocked people but I'm not gonna stave away all that pent up anger above, gotta be honest with myself.

I'm gonna end this post for now, since I'm caught with discord again and I really need to work on that novel of mine. Hope I could make better post here soon!
