Suddenly the tavern door was thrown open and a man burst in, panting heavily. "The undead are attacking the village!" he shouted.307Please respect copyright.PENANADKJItDHIrv
307Please respect copyright.PENANA7u8InliLkF
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAvMtmMqHseN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOPej91FrQU
Dorian - What do we do?307Please respect copyright.PENANA0j3INgQ2VE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfmmYoHhPWz
Lunadea - These are the same undead that attacked the girl in the forest, don't you think? We should help.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnMP6dOtJMm
307Please respect copyright.PENANArpWtfQDvuY
Dorian - Let's go!307Please respect copyright.PENANAhLOgncqeMX
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0dXfAANQN5
Lunadea - The world needs some new heroes!307Please respect copyright.PENANAvXj7kkCDKR
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxuinHc613N
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAkOSgeMtNtx
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVADDDsdcc6
Sword guy - Who are you?307Please respect copyright.PENANAw9VUpYSOYE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAvBkpkfNWNz
Dorian - We're just trying to help.307Please respect copyright.PENANAsgqVi36K6A
307Please respect copyright.PENANAw0fGSeB51K
Sword guy - Good, we could use some help.307Please respect copyright.PENANA36gBeoeluM
307Please respect copyright.PENANALxCchKkX5v
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAu5UQuJYjTf
307Please respect copyright.PENANADsO9NUKate
Ethan - I'm Ethan, the captain of the town's guard.307Please respect copyright.PENANAeKXfF4NwlF
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3zCCOT3ARk
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAtBmPrH214M
307Please respect copyright.PENANATzEEgCTZ2l
Dorian - I'm Dorian, and this is Lunadea. We're just passing through.307Please respect copyright.PENANA0p85ln4PZl
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXOuLYcuSG4
Ethan - Just passing through, huh? Two magic warriors traveling through this town? You're trying to become Shadomins, aren't you?307Please respect copyright.PENANA6k6K1nch6N
307Please respect copyright.PENANAxFC5fTK6SR
Lunadea - Is it that obvious?307Please respect copyright.PENANASqaRCXrriD
307Please respect copyright.PENANATuN3E87rH5
Ethan chuckled.307Please respect copyright.PENANAvkPNBBcGFd
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnGMi6nyBtZ
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANABinx94MKfV
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVVBnLtyF2c
Dorian started to decline, but Lunadea eagerly accepted.307Please respect copyright.PENANA3msuYTcSIL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAUYiDXHJ3uY
Ethan - Great! Come on, I'll introduce you to the mayor of the town.307Please respect copyright.PENANAR1Yn28B4q1
307Please respect copyright.PENANAehUc2r6S8Z
While on the road to the mayor, Dorian and Lunadea argued about the reward.307Please respect copyright.PENANAJapE5vsDdS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQnNElOPp45
Lunadea - We need the money to survive! Why did you want to decline the reward?307Please respect copyright.PENANALVzxzyriom
307Please respect copyright.PENANAv06W9qxaj2
Dorian - But you shouted that "the world needs new heroes" how is accepting a reward heroish?307Please respect copyright.PENANAAu4lKVOUOL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjaDSAsmxTN
Lunadea - How will dying of hunger help people?307Please respect copyright.PENANAHEgFGZziY2
307Please respect copyright.PENANARYZuJLhSkj
Ethan - Ok you two! We're here. Hey! Mister mayor?!307Please respect copyright.PENANAowiEQTIRi4
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3kam8QIkTs
Mayor - Ethan! What's the situation? Who are these two?307Please respect copyright.PENANA46uk5FMrwy
307Please respect copyright.PENANApZJokVMfr3
Ethan - The town is clear and these two travelers helped us clear it.307Please respect copyright.PENANAvFvTROv7ix
307Please respect copyright.PENANAYVZA3UO4Sk
Mayor - They did? My name is Cornelius and I'm the mayor of this town, thank you for helping us.307Please respect copyright.PENANANRlDyOh7q2
307Please respect copyright.PENANAXZptcMeCZA
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!307Please respect copyright.PENANAXcJPFc1lal
307Please respect copyright.PENANARa1e2QTXr7
Cornelius - Magic users? Why help us?307Please respect copyright.PENANAD1fJbJIWPF
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdbw7AN0ZHs
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANADSnaoICiYx
307Please respect copyright.PENANAZSfXNs5J11
Cornelius - His daughter?! You saw her?307Please respect copyright.PENANAhpGMormo81
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAqc7Rugut0
Dorian - What does that mean?307Please respect copyright.PENANAf2sCnojVv2
307Please respect copyright.PENANA1KQZI9U3CZ
Cornelius - ...307Please respect copyright.PENANARFP2U8wnAg
307Please respect copyright.PENANAzQCeDin8Np
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAB2iSCL0N7r
307Please respect copyright.PENANAH8EsfOQVVA
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 me307Please respect copyright.PENANAxLBGfeUjEC
307Please respect copyright.PENANAnIgCJpDfO7
Cornelius - Tell me this isn't true, Ereadus.307Please respect copyright.PENANAAVGWIK0s1B
307Please respect copyright.PENANAsbPm0hPf6F
Ereadus - I'm afraid it is.307Please respect copyright.PENANAA44kvjAYYk
307Please respect copyright.PENANAIhkJlplj5d
Cornelius - But how is that possible? You have no magic!307Please respect copyright.PENANAIAvbthQraX
307Please respect copyright.PENANASqkHggalzq
Ereadus - There is so much we don't know about magic, and there are many things that your king doesn't tell you.307Please respect copyright.PENANAWGIJuL2PIs
307Please respect copyright.PENANA52SOJhFopw
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAxjIoHS1bxu
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOI62qg1VKd
Ereadus - I will stop taking your people. But never come near my castle again. If you do, I'll kill all of you.307Please respect copyright.PENANAeeSvaSKHpJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAlbIWCc45DR
Cornelius - And what about your daughter?307Please respect copyright.PENANAqUnpnMF79y
307Please respect copyright.PENANAK7zoWVnlS1
Ereadus - Don't mention my daughter, Cornelius. I'll take care of her. Now leave and never come back.307Please respect copyright.PENANAtT4rIwEqX8
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcrXoXlVXfe
Cornelius - That was the last time I saw him. He hasn't attacked the village since then.307Please respect copyright.PENANAtOqgb8suEz
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjlTJe6Ahjr
Dorian - Then why now?307Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q0QUIv74f
307Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4sUyH1dwE
Cornelius - Something else happened...307Please respect copyright.PENANAqsraCNMuiZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANASaM9YDd1V5
Ethan - He killed my father.307Please respect copyright.PENANAigMgpUnkol
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZJExzNrjl
The air in the room was thick with tension. Cornelius looked uneasy as he spoke.307Please respect copyright.PENANAZMcT20xDhT
307Please respect copyright.PENANAWsNLA7P3em
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANACBF2ftHJHF
307Please respect copyright.PENANAi42JlL575F
Lunadea - What did you do then?307Please respect copyright.PENANAyfngdY8e1V
307Please respect copyright.PENANAP8Oi8C576H
Cornelius sighed.307Please respect copyright.PENANAmqCarVGmya
307Please respect copyright.PENANA1j5mBJMRep
Cornelius - Nothing. I knew Ereadus was too powerful, and if we went to war with him, everyone in the village would suffer.307Please respect copyright.PENANAaASh3rPCtV
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbut1ZyYTm9
Dorian - It makes sense.307Please respect copyright.PENANAKOca17n6yG
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfFqCuXl58N
Just then, a young girl burst into the room.307Please respect copyright.PENANAwHQzsQNV4p
307Please respect copyright.PENANAbMmDY3x1ak
Girl - Mister mayor! she cried. You need to help me! My daughter is missing!307Please respect copyright.PENANAkdHZEPeiiQ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAhaW7Tp5lgD
Ethan - What?307Please respect copyright.PENANAEHhJMOywXS
307Please respect copyright.PENANA3fpyg94rle
Lunadea - Mister mayor! This is surely his fault!307Please respect copyright.PENANAliK8UTyZEh
307Please respect copyright.PENANAm5iArNiF4f
Elie - His? Who? Who took my baby?307Please respect copyright.PENANA0sjKcuWeTJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAS0wKIAS5ZZ
Ethan - What do we do, Mister Mayor?307Please respect copyright.PENANAQbtjthLsk5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAOaUhYDFQ7j
Cornelius had a look of concern on his face. Lunadea spoke up.307Please respect copyright.PENANAl1xEnaQMNZ
307Please respect copyright.PENANASbLovKwDms
Lunadea - You didn't do anything then, do something now. Let us help you!307Please respect copyright.PENANAmVJaH0TsSX
307Please respect copyright.PENANAqbgMBIjhP6
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAkhauB4s53w
307Please respect copyright.PENANATXoVJJS6Mi
Ethan - Is it "his" time?307Please respect copyright.PENANA2aJb65lHut
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKVRVUaqyWX
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANABWchOLXltI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAFd72LGXv2Q
Dorian, sensing potential danger, gets his guard up and becomes cautious.307Please respect copyright.PENANApoxpEeqi6M
307Please respect copyright.PENANA50cxzUnveh
Dorian - Is that going to be a problem?307Please respect copyright.PENANAnULmJ6glVG
307Please respect copyright.PENANAcCElgW87Qi
Cornelius - You saved my people, even if the world hates you, I could never.307Please respect copyright.PENANAJe4BDthSLj
307Please respect copyright.PENANAdPl1RJ8aL3
Ethan - I saw you fight alongside me. I could never not respect that.307Please respect copyright.PENANAx1zLw24iZD
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiMiF0V1mwl
Cornelius - Now, are you guys in?307Please respect copyright.PENANA5CqPmUHNuI
307Please respect copyright.PENANAyx5dB40PGT
Dorian - We're in! Luna?307Please respect copyright.PENANA0A5iMKk6EM
307Please respect copyright.PENANAtbk6JLbdsq
Lunadea - Huh? Yes Of course I'm in!307Please respect copyright.PENANAwyLlvthWvQ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAeFt6VN0Zzb
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAnVQYo3WtJ8
307Please respect copyright.PENANADDjGcbJL1r
Cornelius - Sammy, it's your turn to pay off your debt.307Please respect copyright.PENANA01XeGlW8JJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANAmdSQ6SWbyX
Sammy - Whatever, old man. What do you want me to do?307Please respect copyright.PENANAFcwTqFaeZi
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfwDcGUn4xr
Cornelius - I need you to rescue a little girl from Ereadus.307Please respect copyright.PENANALTdMotrECw
307Please respect copyright.PENANAVuYnMgJZsm
Sammy - Fine.307Please respect copyright.PENANAxceqr6T14Z
307Please respect copyright.PENANAKhjHPpWCLV
He didn't seem particularly concerned about the task, in fact, he looked quite bored.307Please respect copyright.PENANA0zgm1p7WQ5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAdQ3pdyzz2
Cornelius - Wait! You'll have a team with you.307Please respect copyright.PENANAGagd2uPl41
307Please respect copyright.PENANAX49kwpXScl
Sammy - A team?307Please respect copyright.PENANALALkRBYhY3
307Please respect copyright.PENANAHxKI9cqUe8
Cornelius - Dorian, Lunadea, and Ethan will be joining you.307Please respect copyright.PENANAY2w9UJNTHE
307Please respect copyright.PENANAutVvZ4bMfO
Sammy - No thanks.307Please respect copyright.PENANAPJHk32LTwm
307Please respect copyright.PENANArstd9m41KF
Cornelius - This is not a request, Sammy.307Please respect copyright.PENANA72JJom9Rp1
307Please respect copyright.PENANASpGsHEQDRd
In a flash, he vanished in the smoke and reappeared behind the mayor's chair.307Please respect copyright.PENANAUFGfT7LlhL
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkyd7kIYcPp
Sammy - Listen, old man. I do have a debt to pay, but that doesn't mean I take orders from you.307Please respect copyright.PENANAInR6fqBtKN
307Please respect copyright.PENANAy5euY88fmH
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...307Please respect copyright.PENANAxcDOq7PL5P
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4UJIhTwlff
Sammy vanished in the smoke again and reappeared, standing face to face with Ethan.307Please respect copyright.PENANAIG5IDpv8VY
307Please respect copyright.PENANA4qM49fbJyz
Sammy - What do you know about my capabilities?307Please respect copyright.PENANARN13FFnwou
307Please respect copyright.PENANAl2tiD5Hz6O
Lunadea - We don't need you. Mister mayor, let us three go.307Please respect copyright.PENANA8eaUZTY5zh
307Please respect copyright.PENANAkDbqTN4zxN
Sammy turns to Lunadea with a bored expression.307Please respect copyright.PENANAp2wqJSsMP6
307Please respect copyright.PENANA0iHHR0gTvh
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...307Please respect copyright.PENANALM0gGJwlYJ
307Please respect copyright.PENANA6L2ASxIsyE
He couldn't finish the sentence before Dorian touched his back.307Please respect copyright.PENANAZU06uHhgvS
307Please respect copyright.PENANAicUI4iiE6S
Everyone was stunned.307Please respect copyright.PENANA9en4FZNsQ9

307Please respect copyright.PENANALkSdsOiYiU
Sammy - I'll wait for you at the castle gate. Don't be late.307Please respect copyright.PENANA1EWvw2ggx5
307Please respect copyright.PENANAiOgDvcWBQX
And with that, he disappears into his smoke again.307Please respect copyright.PENANABDlz8Mh9Wp
307Please respect copyright.PENANAfoQue1rdQ5
Ethan - Well, let's go you two307Please respect copyright.PENANAYNJ0bwLIbr
307Please respect copyright.PENANAAchXeZA3pP
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAEHl33i1kNy
307Please respect copyright.PENANAjQXssxU1Rk
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.307Please respect copyright.PENANAcDfTM72DMh
307Please respect copyright.PENANALt8MbxuX9t
Dorian - These daggers are insanely good!307Please respect copyright.PENANAwXSGPEpOtt

Lunadea - I love the uniforms, they fit so well!307Please respect copyright.PENANAWsdbNRDuP2
307Please respect copyright.PENANADr7LqZYsEu
Ethan - You guys look amazing! Let's go now, it's time for Ereadus to pay for what he has done.
