《The Skeleton King》Prologue:Champion of Darkness
Advertisement
Connor Green, he was a strange kid to everyone. He didn't like hanging with anyone,so to cut the story short, he was a loner. In his mind he considered human's trash and disgusting, so naturally he , thought that way about himself as well eventhough he had a good family. As for his looks, he was neither ugly nor beautiful, just average. But in his mind he didn't belong in this world.
Connor considered committing suicide but he just did not have the courage to do it.
Because of his nature, everyone in class avoided him and with time they even started bullying him.This however did not matter to him, as he just wished for his and everyone's else death but in the end he still hated being disturbed by the bullies.
The bell rang and everyone got to their seats and just as they all had sat down, a loud bang was heard in the hallway. Students whispered to each other, curious as to what the origin of the sound was.
Not long after, instead of their teacher, a nervous man walked in. In his left hand he held a gun and in his right a small trigger that was linked with a wire that went inside his shirt.
All of the students got scared some even screamed.
The man was startled and in that state pressed the trigger in his right hand. In those seconds of explosion all the students wore terrified expressions. Well, all of them but one of them, Connor Green, he was smiling ear to ear as if it was the happiest moment in his life.
After some time, Connor awoke. He could not see anything. Only darkness, endless, everlasting darkness, but when remembered what just happend he felt so extremely happy he simply couldn't do anything other than just start laughing.

"Hahaha, finally, finally my wish has come true hahaha."
He continued laughing for some time until he heard a voice behind him.
"You know boy, you sound like a mad man."
Connor started turning around, however the only thing he could see was the darkness.
"Hey, who are you? God? The devil? I am dead, right?"
Connor asked the darkness, as there was noone else to answer his questions.
"Well yes, you are dead, your body, at least. You are here now only as a soul. Nothing more. And as to your question about god or devil, yes you could call me something like a dark god."
"Oh a dark god ......Wait if we did have a dark god, that would be the devil, right?"
*sigh* "No, not the gods and devils from your world."
"Your world.... Wait, that means, you are a god from a different world?!" Connor asked with excitement in his voice, he had read many stories about different worlds and reincarnation.
""I am going to be reincarnated into a new world, aren't I!?" Connor's non-stop asking made the voice sigh again.
"Yes, yes. You are, but first I want to tell you why and what you need to know. So listen well."
Connor only nodded.
"Okay. So first things first, my name is Erebus the god of darkness. I am the one who summoned you here. As for my role among the dark gods you could say I am something like a supreme god. All the dark races worship me. Now the reason I summoned you is a very simple one: You are going to become my champion.
You see, the humans ,with the aid of the light gods, summoned heroes into this world to help them win their war against the demons. And said heroes are your classmates. Every single one of those "heroes" is blessed by a different god with special skills.

But I decided to intervene with their summoning and get a champion of my own, heh.
Well there you go. Ah! Also unlike the heroes who are blessed by only one of the gods, you alone shall receive the blessing of all the dark gods. I should also mention you will not be human anymore, though I do not know what you will be after your reincarnation. Do you still have some questions?"
Erebus asked but Connor only shook his head and wore a smile on his face like a mad man.
"Well then without further ado go to the world of Aurora and wreck havoc across the land in the name of the dark gods."
What came next was the was a blinding light, but everything was over in a second.
When Connor opened his eyes and started looking around, what he saw in front of him was a torn red carpet obstructing his most of view. What he could see however, was that he found himself in a big room filled with rubble and broken stone pieces.
Connor noticed he was sitting. When he got up and moved past the torn carpet, the first thing he saw was a throne missing a piece on it's top right.
Connor looked around a little more until he noticed, he was wearing a golden full plate armor. The thing that shocked him the most however, ware his hands. They were nothing more than bones. Only when he examined himself a little more he came to a conclusion.
He was a seven feet tall skeleton in a golden Plate body armor with a crown on top of his bony skull. In addition to his armor he also had a blackish grey cape with strange patterns on it.
"Well better this than nothing. At the very least, am not a human anymore hehe."
