Suddenly the tavern door was thrown open and a man burst in, panting heavily. "The undead are attacking the village!" he shouted.306Please respect copyright.PENANA9M76gvKDU4
306Please respect copyright.PENANAavrMBcryBX
The Tavern fell silent for a moment, before chaos erupted. Everyone was shouting and trying to rush out the door. After a few minutes, the tavern was empty except for Lunadea and Dorian. When they stepped outside, they saw an army of skeletons and zombies everywhere they looked. The guards were fighting them and some townspeople were helping. One particular man wielding a giant sword was swinging away at them with incredible power.306Please respect copyright.PENANA9bFEwbeB2E
306Please respect copyright.PENANAWqR76CzpRJ
Dorian - What do we do?306Please respect copyright.PENANAVpKk0llK1V
306Please respect copyright.PENANAphNlhVLLCK
Lunadea - These are the same undead that attacked the girl in the forest, don't you think? We should help.306Please respect copyright.PENANAxFajWvZwSi
306Please respect copyright.PENANAQcVRoXFm1G
Dorian - Let's go!306Please respect copyright.PENANArVJTHobP5p
306Please respect copyright.PENANAQCHKieC3e7
Lunadea - The world needs some new heroes!306Please respect copyright.PENANAqAOrbsJNLA
306Please respect copyright.PENANABwUZCuTVSs
Lunadea infused her sword with fire and charged towards the undeadDorian shook his head at Luna's enthusiasm, but he too jumped into the fight. His speed was such that the undead didn't even react to him like they did with others. In one sweep, he destroyed almost every skeleton that was fighting the giant sword guy.306Please respect copyright.PENANAz5sAxVZqDK
306Please respect copyright.PENANAXxnYubmfUs
Sword guy - Who are you?306Please respect copyright.PENANAFxPSoxQ8rE
306Please respect copyright.PENANA4YBZhpeiTg
Dorian - We're just trying to help.306Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Xe9GIqWc
306Please respect copyright.PENANAZWrn6voSep
Sword guy - Good, we could use some help.306Please respect copyright.PENANAsMq8JhxCgr
306Please respect copyright.PENANAqzKCKdZ19f
The fight continued for another 15 minutes, but the undead didn't stand much of a chance. They put up little resistance and there were no casualties on the human side. Once everything was clear, the giant sword guy approached Dorian.306Please respect copyright.PENANAi2qKcQ1kc5
306Please respect copyright.PENANAqta0QDfW2F
Ethan - I'm Ethan, the captain of the town's guard.306Please respect copyright.PENANAXNpA0a9G2z
306Please respect copyright.PENANAglVWfhc3ah
Ethan had a muscular and imposing build, with short black hair, shorter than Dorian's. He had a scar on his chin that gave him a rugged appearance. He had a distinct 'heroic' face with a strong jawline and sharp features that conveyed strength and determination. He had an intimidating presence, but his actions and the way he carried himself reveals a noble and just character.306Please respect copyright.PENANA0sAIuOiTk2
306Please respect copyright.PENANAByTvRixSP2
Dorian - I'm Dorian, and this is Lunadea. We're just passing through.306Please respect copyright.PENANAQOSZ0Cthoj
306Please respect copyright.PENANAfwnKICQkJp
Ethan - Just passing through, huh? Two magic warriors traveling through this town? You're trying to become Shadomins, aren't you?306Please respect copyright.PENANAXeu3AyBMDK
306Please respect copyright.PENANAhoPQeqp3JL
Lunadea - Is it that obvious?306Please respect copyright.PENANAK88rJxfd4x
306Please respect copyright.PENANA9FIAkSg4v3
Ethan chuckled.306Please respect copyright.PENANABI6H6CX3bI
306Please respect copyright.PENANAClwB03b1ti
Ethan - Well, there's only one road from this town to the capital, and the Shadomin tournament is three months away. It's not too hard to put two and two together. But what you do is none of my business. You two helped us out a lot, so we owe you something.306Please respect copyright.PENANAJCnOB3soB4
306Please respect copyright.PENANAJGXMN5hC8K
Dorian started to decline, but Lunadea eagerly accepted.306Please respect copyright.PENANAbKjAEjTFdv
306Please respect copyright.PENANAGiTWnf3fGc
Ethan - Great! Come on, I'll introduce you to the mayor of the town.306Please respect copyright.PENANAxfPUlwTCHq
306Please respect copyright.PENANA7UT5QVwAD3
While on the road to the mayor, Dorian and Lunadea argued about the reward.306Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q6K76cW2g
306Please respect copyright.PENANACEXdUvWJ1A
Lunadea - We need the money to survive! Why did you want to decline the reward?306Please respect copyright.PENANAMwmCP06pGN
306Please respect copyright.PENANAwSIKwo2Cbm
Dorian - But you shouted that "the world needs new heroes" how is accepting a reward heroish?306Please respect copyright.PENANAfJRFiQyQps
306Please respect copyright.PENANAtyW3HRw5a2
Lunadea - How will dying of hunger help people?306Please respect copyright.PENANAnJR3RtYt10
306Please respect copyright.PENANA1GVYuU73Za
Ethan - Ok you two! We're here. Hey! Mister mayor?!306Please respect copyright.PENANAa8xD63NPeB
306Please respect copyright.PENANAC19CuAZnlo
Mayor - Ethan! What's the situation? Who are these two?306Please respect copyright.PENANA5Iml6NvsPk
306Please respect copyright.PENANAlq4k0IcCvo
Ethan - The town is clear and these two travelers helped us clear it.306Please respect copyright.PENANA2Nrh69uf4y
306Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q5Lxb9Bcm
Mayor - They did? My name is Cornelius and I'm the mayor of this town, thank you for helping us.306Please respect copyright.PENANAC308HVo4so
306Please respect copyright.PENANAoc1sbaUXWb
Ethan - He is Dorian, the fastest guy I've seen. And she is Lunadea, a better swordsman than I could ever be. She also has fire magic and can infuse her sword with it!306Please respect copyright.PENANASZA4SWZ8a8
306Please respect copyright.PENANAetgS44MbVu
Cornelius - Magic users? Why help us?306Please respect copyright.PENANACN3s7EFXHl
306Please respect copyright.PENANApMCqRfvw6W
Lunadea - To be honest, we saw these undead before. This morning in the forest south of here. There was this lord named Ereadus and his daughter.306Please respect copyright.PENANASNGTuVq50Q
306Please respect copyright.PENANAlBOkRAHkrK
Cornelius - His daughter?! You saw her?306Please respect copyright.PENANAXKwUBIBp4X
306Please respect copyright.PENANA8uN9CEaedY
Dorian - What does that mean?306Please respect copyright.PENANAGKg4ZFa2qc
306Please respect copyright.PENANAsaysa8Zyuv
Cornelius - ...306Please respect copyright.PENANAR0ldVhkjIA
306Please respect copyright.PENANAuX8kYGERtc
Cornelius - Lord Ereadus was once my close friend. But everything changed when his wife died. She was a tier 1 Shadowmin, incredibly powerful, but even the strongest can fall. Ereadus was devastated by her death and retreated into the castle with his daughter, refusing to see anyone. I tried to reach out to him, to offer my support, but he would not respond.306Please respect copyright.PENANA1CoCczm7iW
306Please respect copyright.PENANAq2keifCcSq
It was around this time that the undead started appearing in the town. Skeletons, ghosts, zombies, all coming from the castle. People in the town began disappearing, and the captain of the guard at the time, Ethan's father, discovered that Ereadus was summoning the undead. I couldn't believe it, Ereadus had no magic, he was born without it. But eventually he agreed to meet with me306Please respect copyright.PENANAhIwLL1ved9
306Please respect copyright.PENANAlcB3CLkBt6
Cornelius - Tell me this isn't true, Ereadus.306Please respect copyright.PENANAqbuua1fSrx
306Please respect copyright.PENANAYRnkiSBNbj
Ereadus - I'm afraid it is.306Please respect copyright.PENANA6i23nA8Ejd
306Please respect copyright.PENANAyw6VrSK0Qc
Cornelius - But how is that possible? You have no magic!306Please respect copyright.PENANAolTk7oY3p4
306Please respect copyright.PENANAJrJl5rLVMZ
Ereadus - There is so much we don't know about magic, and there are many things that your king doesn't tell you.306Please respect copyright.PENANAwCn2TWj0N2
306Please respect copyright.PENANA8SQeQnVfUg
Cornelius - Ereadus, listen to me. I don't know what your plan is, but if you hurt any more of our townspeople, I'll have no choice but to send the town guard after you.306Please respect copyright.PENANAntKnzNoY8a
306Please respect copyright.PENANABroqICtYZa
Ereadus - I will stop taking your people. But never come near my castle again. If you do, I'll kill all of you.306Please respect copyright.PENANAdgEnhrV04o
306Please respect copyright.PENANAfWmffvWQ6d
Cornelius - And what about your daughter?306Please respect copyright.PENANAPOPPCKPqcO
306Please respect copyright.PENANAjPVgf3hK4L
Ereadus - Don't mention my daughter, Cornelius. I'll take care of her. Now leave and never come back.306Please respect copyright.PENANAra4Iv0kPMO
306Please respect copyright.PENANA9VIL0eKV7d
Cornelius - That was the last time I saw him. He hasn't attacked the village since then.306Please respect copyright.PENANA10RFmxGB3r
306Please respect copyright.PENANAfee5z2xl4j
Dorian - Then why now?306Please respect copyright.PENANATxsgx7WFNQ
306Please respect copyright.PENANAEKCfChFEe0
Cornelius - Something else happened...306Please respect copyright.PENANASrUqpXxFxx
306Please respect copyright.PENANA0ibZGHKqq2
Ethan - He killed my father.306Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Abpr04fX
306Please respect copyright.PENANA6b6wh7U6IX
The air in the room was thick with tension. Cornelius looked uneasy as he spoke.306Please respect copyright.PENANAxDKMM3SNgx
306Please respect copyright.PENANAE8wKGGUN28
Cornelius - I told Ethan's father to let Ereadus do whatever he wanted. But he wouldn't let it go. One night, he approached the castle and saw Ereadus's daughter. Ethan's father tried to save her, but the undead were too many and he had to run away. He came back to me and told me about it. I sent him home, but he never arrived.306Please respect copyright.PENANAtmf8bbk9eB
306Please respect copyright.PENANArhyfA7iuCk
Lunadea - What did you do then?306Please respect copyright.PENANAyljfYj8xD4
306Please respect copyright.PENANAPWo6iEJjnE
Cornelius sighed.306Please respect copyright.PENANAO6wMBGxCaj
306Please respect copyright.PENANAL56HV6ih0Y
Cornelius - Nothing. I knew Ereadus was too powerful, and if we went to war with him, everyone in the village would suffer.306Please respect copyright.PENANAwVl2bM89BK
306Please respect copyright.PENANAp6a1hy6xq2
Dorian - It makes sense.306Please respect copyright.PENANAsUfdCCaLeU
306Please respect copyright.PENANAwcHgmNyFMO
Just then, a young girl burst into the room.306Please respect copyright.PENANAOya0X8K3cQ
306Please respect copyright.PENANA0NgFaWji5P
Girl - Mister mayor! she cried. You need to help me! My daughter is missing!306Please respect copyright.PENANAd0lOwAFBvw
306Please respect copyright.PENANAjqmwpnVl9X
Ethan - What?306Please respect copyright.PENANAFGRIpCS1rG
306Please respect copyright.PENANAH8Iv9AevvV
Lunadea - Mister mayor! This is surely his fault!306Please respect copyright.PENANAT4fdFsMyrt
306Please respect copyright.PENANAhOeMOXrWCT
Elie - His? Who? Who took my baby?306Please respect copyright.PENANAzoDauiMDUr
306Please respect copyright.PENANAJfkYI9773u
Ethan - What do we do, Mister Mayor?306Please respect copyright.PENANAIi8N0K9UqZ
306Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1yMfsSkzG
Cornelius had a look of concern on his face. Lunadea spoke up.306Please respect copyright.PENANAbao5AjbbR5
306Please respect copyright.PENANA6i03UUbkJd
Lunadea - You didn't do anything then, do something now. Let us help you!306Please respect copyright.PENANA5EO6942pB3
306Please respect copyright.PENANAsiaR4VnbOw
Cornelius - Elie, I promise we will get your daughter back. Could you please wait outside? We need to discuss a strategy to get her back.306Please respect copyright.PENANA70ImQyxotc
306Please respect copyright.PENANAK1tjA5MCmR
Ethan - Is it "his" time?306Please respect copyright.PENANAjxLn4WEYGk
306Please respect copyright.PENANAcYb7Qz1TBw
Cornelius - Yes, we need to bring in Sammy. And you two, I have a job for you. The town's guard could use some extra help. But before that, you can take off your clock, Lunadea. It's obvious from this distance that you are a Dämoneneko. Your eyes can't be mistaken.306Please respect copyright.PENANAKqQkMcpkdh
306Please respect copyright.PENANABee3yeUwu6
Dorian, sensing potential danger, gets his guard up and becomes cautious.306Please respect copyright.PENANAZnwVJlQg1G
306Please respect copyright.PENANAnuEnwl1g2g
Dorian - Is that going to be a problem?306Please respect copyright.PENANAa2GvYWcg7h
306Please respect copyright.PENANA7m2UMgodxL
Cornelius - You saved my people, even if the world hates you, I could never.306Please respect copyright.PENANAFrQldjQNeh
306Please respect copyright.PENANAoFDjysZbeb
Ethan - I saw you fight alongside me. I could never not respect that.306Please respect copyright.PENANAUDVkYCZLiT
306Please respect copyright.PENANA56fSbnkawn
Cornelius - Now, are you guys in?306Please respect copyright.PENANAycwRnTGO9s
306Please respect copyright.PENANAed0itY90UY
Dorian - We're in! Luna?306Please respect copyright.PENANA8YN1sf4C7M
306Please respect copyright.PENANAMM2cBbYGl2
Lunadea - Huh? Yes Of course I'm in!306Please respect copyright.PENANAf9gPCFZ9G3
306Please respect copyright.PENANAbpCbBv7XPk
As they spoke, a cloud of black smoke filled the room and out stepped a tall man with black nails, tattoos on his hands and neck, he was wearing a long coat, and a chain wrapped around his right hand.306Please respect copyright.PENANAyO8OV8Sr0N
306Please respect copyright.PENANAkfOdDNiqEI
Cornelius - Sammy, it's your turn to pay off your debt.306Please respect copyright.PENANAaRtZShZhOi
306Please respect copyright.PENANAds4VNtjWu3
Sammy - Whatever, old man. What do you want me to do?306Please respect copyright.PENANAHHnAs9NZry
306Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ15Ho5x8p
Cornelius - I need you to rescue a little girl from Ereadus.306Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZWlvRuUNL
306Please respect copyright.PENANAYLzgHui7iA
Sammy - Fine.306Please respect copyright.PENANA9y834WJqdU
306Please respect copyright.PENANAG69gSw1Jhr
He didn't seem particularly concerned about the task, in fact, he looked quite bored.306Please respect copyright.PENANANG6QdBBsx0
306Please respect copyright.PENANAWiKftrnDs3
Cornelius - Wait! You'll have a team with you.306Please respect copyright.PENANAkMFPRqcdQQ
306Please respect copyright.PENANADVaD1tf6in
Sammy - A team?306Please respect copyright.PENANAkKcRDyc1ga
306Please respect copyright.PENANA5Koyzxh4H1
Cornelius - Dorian, Lunadea, and Ethan will be joining you.306Please respect copyright.PENANAERDmiIFwgr
306Please respect copyright.PENANAlRF2er4gaX
Sammy - No thanks.306Please respect copyright.PENANAvUv9BZ2Eaq
306Please respect copyright.PENANAHLUVfajOaL
Cornelius - This is not a request, Sammy.306Please respect copyright.PENANAvxxczMDve8
306Please respect copyright.PENANAYnnCH5okp3
In a flash, he vanished in the smoke and reappeared behind the mayor's chair.306Please respect copyright.PENANA4g8OcOfRyD
306Please respect copyright.PENANA77mlF2COlJ
Sammy - Listen, old man. I do have a debt to pay, but that doesn't mean I take orders from you.306Please respect copyright.PENANAVRVNgYstGf
306Please respect copyright.PENANAd7jRbvqEo2
Ethan - Sammy, please! This is no time for this. We need to save that child. Ereadus is powerful and, as capable as you may be...306Please respect copyright.PENANA2RKTp74F3H
306Please respect copyright.PENANAHQu2F3n0zl
Sammy vanished in the smoke again and reappeared, standing face to face with Ethan.306Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ3JQ2exns
306Please respect copyright.PENANA6fG5b3tSHJ
Sammy - What do you know about my capabilities?306Please respect copyright.PENANAu1VDm0SxHq
306Please respect copyright.PENANAM78oMxwUGz
Lunadea - We don't need you. Mister mayor, let us three go.306Please respect copyright.PENANAZW0k4VVmQU
306Please respect copyright.PENANA1ehsqP9kL8
Sammy turns to Lunadea with a bored expression.306Please respect copyright.PENANAgifpcVUTY3
306Please respect copyright.PENANAGnZLS6KZDx
Sammy - It's the reverse, lady. I don't need you. You look like a small, fragile thing that will slow me down. Tell you what, if you can touch me, we can discuss it further...306Please respect copyright.PENANAcHh8thVuh3
306Please respect copyright.PENANAxLtqMuF3ZT
He couldn't finish the sentence before Dorian touched his back.306Please respect copyright.PENANAaMGHpZ9rxV
306Please respect copyright.PENANA3BYDpM7h9H
Everyone was stunned.306Please respect copyright.PENANAiO7ysiHWZf
306Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Tjea4LV2
Sammy - Interesting one here. What's your name?306Please respect copyright.PENANA7vwd0LX4Pb

Ethan - (These two are incredible.)306Please respect copyright.PENANAzqPr59rEe1

306Please respect copyright.PENANAuIFPUYmf3K
Sammy - I'll wait for you at the castle gate. Don't be late.306Please respect copyright.PENANAF4vuCdDUNZ
306Please respect copyright.PENANAFlbSLmQOWH
And with that, he disappears into his smoke again.306Please respect copyright.PENANA64drswKA5n
306Please respect copyright.PENANANswlF5j8u6
Ethan - Well, let's go you two306Please respect copyright.PENANADFqqlqbltS
306Please respect copyright.PENANAnkiuwpTd96
Dorian and Lunadea got new gear from the town's armory. They both got the town's guard uniform. The uniform includes a breastplate made of durable steel, with a black long-sleeved sweater worn over it for added warmth and protection. The pants are made of black leather, with sturdy boots to complete the outfit. This combination of armor and comfortable clothing allows the town's guard to stay protected while also being able to move freely and easily. The sleek, all-black design adds a sense of professionalism and authority to the uniform.306Please respect copyright.PENANA5zCrL4ogm6
306Please respect copyright.PENANAaU4e63vOo7
Lunadea also received a steel sword with intricate engravings etched into the metal. The hilt was wrapped in black leather and had a ruby embedded in the pommel. The blade itself was sharp and glinted in the light, indicating its high quality, Dorian got a short dagger and a long one. Both of these weapons were crafted with great care, ensuring that they would serve Dorian well in any situation. The steel used to create these weapons was of the highest quality, ensuring that they would be able to withstand even the most intense battles.306Please respect copyright.PENANAAMnfjwNfhG
306Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ8MCRcJfF
Dorian - These daggers are insanely good!306Please respect copyright.PENANA91FPEHbU6d
306Please respect copyright.PENANAWZS4FQkGOx
Lunadea - I love the uniforms, they fit so well!306Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ0trDAwbt
306Please respect copyright.PENANAsOGADWNpYJ
Ethan - You guys look amazing! Let's go now, it's time for Ereadus to pay for what he has done.
