"Ahhh!","Hieeeeee!" Shrieks of despair and pain can be heard.
In the highway towards the capital of Ancard.a wooden carriage boy with a unconscious woman inside, around it were a number of figures lying on the ground can be seen some of them limp, others unconscious, and the others dead by decapitation or stabbed in the heart or head. It was truly a gruesome sight to behold.
Within those pitiful bodies a boy around 2 years old, with black hair and blue eyes, His cute face cause him to look like a girl. In front of him was a middle aged man kneeling, as if it was asking for forgiveness, no the man was truly asking for forgiveness and begging to be spared.
Within an instant the man's head was separated from his limbs, within the final seconds of the man seeing the cold and void-like eyes of the boy, He knew that the boy wasn't going to spare him.
He recalled his memories, on how he was commissioned by a woman to kill the boy, Being a child He thought that his job was easy until now, one by one his men were killed in an instant, and in his final breath his only regret was accepting this job.
"Ahh..... It's the first time I killed someone" a childish voice yet makes you shiver came from the boy
As the boy muttered those words He stared at his bloody hands and next was the sky, His body was covered in blood, the former silver long sword became blood red in color, His face was tranquil and calm.
-----------------------
He woke up, He was full of sweat every where on his body, the reason was because of the nightmare he had. As he glance to the side he saw a female wearing maid clothes showing a worried expression and spoke.
"Young master, are you okay? Before I entered the room I can hear you shouting." The maid said.
"Yes, Lin. I was just having a nightmare so its okay, is mother awake?"
"Yes, she was already awake an hour ago, she was waiting for you to eat breakfast" she replied
After he stood from his bed Lin removed his clothing and was helping him get dressed. Hakua just stood there letting her dressed, he was already used to such treatment at first he was embarrassed, but as time passed by he bexame used to it. After gettting dressed he headed straight to the dining room, with his mother already sitting drinking coffee.
"Good mornign mother." he greeted as he seated
"Good morning sweetie, why are you pale? Is something wrong?" she asked worried.
"Yes, Im fine mother. I just had a nightmare." he replied
"Is that so.. May i ask what is your night mare about" She asked with a curious tone.
"Im sorry, I don't remember" he said
His mother replied with a nod. What he said was a lie, he still remembers the nightmare he had clearly. He recalled his dream with a sad expression, which his mother noticed.
In his dream He saw himself beside a wooden carriage in his side was a silver longsword bathe with blood, around him were many figures dead with some of them were brutally killedand in his arms was a wounded woman, dying.

It was his mother, he was crying for he wasn't able to protect him him even with his power he acquired. The reason why his mother was killed was one of the assaulters was someone they knew, they were betrayed, and he remembers he betrayers face clearly. As he was pondering about his dream.
"-kua."
"-akua!"
"Hakua!" His mother was calling him
"Yes mother?" he asked hurriedly
"Are you sure, there's nothing wrong?" she asked with a worried expression.
"ahh. Yes everything's okay, I was thinking about something" He replied to him with a warm gaze to relieve his mother
He continued eating but he still notice that his mother was still staeing at him.
"Mother, Im okay. I was just thinking about the big animal I saw yesterday" he lied, he wanted his mother to stop worrying.
"If you say so, by the way after 4 hours the carriage which will bring us to the capital will arrive. Did you pack your things? It will take a week till we reached the capital." she said.
"Yup everything's done! By the way why does the book says the we are in the capital but you are mentioning another capital are we going to another kingdom?" he asked, according to the book currently he was in the capital of Ancard kingdom but his mother told him they were going to the capital which made him confused.
"Ancard kingdom is just a branch kingdom of the Frolt empire, which is the only human empire in the world and our destination is the capital of Frolt empire which were half of the 10 great families resides." She explained
While they were eating his mother explained the empires and kingdoms which can be found here in the western part. According to her The only empire ruled by humans is Frolt empire which has hundreds of kingdoms and dukedoms.
And there are 2 empires in the Western, being one of them is Frolt, the other one is Lune Empire which is ruled by elves.
After eating he headed straight to his room and pondered about the dream he had, while pondering he decided to open his Status panel. After his status appeared on the words written there struck him like lightning. Having his suspicions about the betrayer he decided to observe him/her.
After an hour observing, he didn't found something suspicious. He returned to his room to prepare a counter attack incase something may happened. Then a magic circle appeared on his feet and an array of light suddenlu engulfed the room. Within a female woman, started to materialize in front him, the woman has white hair and emerald eyes, and her pale white skin dazzling, with 4 pair of white wings on her back. Her face was well endowed which can cause wars. Then the woman spoke
"Are you the one summoned me?" with a seductive voice
What he did was that he summoned a familiar, using one his skills [Supreme Summon] which allow the caster summon a familiar and last until the caster die and the race of the summoned was decided randomly from spirit, devil, angel and fiend and only 3 can be summoned at a time. Which an angel appeared.

"Yes" he spoke with a tone beffiting of a master
The angel kneeled and said " Greeting Master" she spoke in a respectful tone, she knew that his master was no ordinary one for he was able to summon him an angel which onlh a very few can do and and 8 winged one which only Hakua in the whole history to summon and 8 winged.
"What is your name?" Hakua asked
"This one is named Sera. Master" she replied
"Sera can you transform yourself?" he asked.
"I can master" she said and suddenly a white light enveloped her and transformed into a necklace with a winged pendant. " Is this alright master?" she spoked in Hakua's mind.
"Yes" He replied in a satisfied tone.
A few hours later the 2 carriage arrived, he went to the entranced with his mother, but before they entered Hakua spoke.
"Mother I forgot to give you this" he handed a winged pendant which is Sera and said " I bought this yesterday because it was a charm to keep you safe" he said while smiling innocently.
"Thank you Sweetie, can you put this around my neck" she turned around and sat down to help to make it easier for Hakua to out the Necklace.
[Sera, I want you to protect my mother from any harm, is that understood?] being master and familiar he spoke to Sera mentallly.
[Yes, master] Sera replied.
After putting the necklace, they entered the carriage accompanied by with Lin and another maid. and on the other carriage were their guards, after boarding the carriage. Anf they started travelling.
While travelling Hakua was excited for it was his first time going outside of Arcand. At day they will travel and at night they will rest at the nearest town.
3 days have passed they will be sleeping outside camping, they had no choice for no nearby town can be found as they were preparing to sleep, with his passive skill [Detect] He sensed multiple presence surrounding them, and judjing from the aura they emit, a hint of killing intent can be sensed. He knew they were up to no good. He spkke to Sera mentally
"Sera, Protect my mother, there are many ambushing us." after he said that, he picked one of the spare swords on the carriage and shouted
"WERE UNDER ATTACKED" his voice cause all of them to woke up instantly for that voice was commanding and do nothing but obey. And even his mother
The guards started to arm themselves and prepared for battle. Hakua spoke again.
"Come out, I already know that you are hiding." He shouted towarda the forest.
Some of the inexperienced guarda thought he was playing a prank but thosenthoughts were dispelled when many figures started to emerge from the forest. On of the figures spoke it was a midde aged man with a scar on his face.
" Heh boy not bad, you have potential to be strong but, it's unfortunate you are going to die now." The man said. He was the leader of a assasin guild,they were hired by a woman to killed the child and his mother.
Hakua smirked and with that smirked the figures started to spring forward towards them, until with an instant, most of the figures stopped and was forced to be on the ground. Limp and lifeless
Most of them died while some of them were withstood but they are breathing roughly , what Hakua did was turn his passive skill [Pressure] on, this skill renders the affected to feel physical pressure, causing pain. Onlh those with string wills can resist it
Out of the hundred figures only 15 remained and with the guards only 2 remained standing while breathing heavily. The remaining felt astonished at the same time fear. Hakua spoke
"Hehh not bad! If you can with stand the pressure"
The middle aged man cannot believe what happened before his eyes, He felt Fear towards the child, that within an instant almost all of them were annihilated without making him moved, in that moment he knew that they cannot defeat the child before him. Let alone him.
Some of his subordinates tried to escape, but as they run, the boy sprang forward with incredible speed making them unable to react. Some of them were decapitated, other were slashed open, the brutalness of the boy caused them despair until only he remained. the child looked at him, He felt despair, the cold gaze of the boy caused him to shiver and pissed his pants, then the child laughed emotionlessly and said.
"hahaha, you piss your pants, what are you a kid?" the chils said mockingly, yet he cannot say anything the pressure emitted by the boy rendered him unable to speak nor move.
"Tell me who, ordered you to kill us, and I'll spare you." the child said coldly
The man seeing a glimmer of hope spoke
"the one who hired us is a veiled woman, I don't know what's her name for we dont asked the name of the requester but Insaw the crest on his clothes."
"TELL ME STRAIGHT TO POINT OR I'LL KILL YOU!" The child angrily said.
"It was the Auburn family" the man said while terrified.
"okay, I uphold my word I wont kill you, now go before I changed my mind" Hakua said and with that the man started running away from the child who was like the devil. And he turned around he saw his mother lting on the ground, he was terrified. The dream he had was a premonition because of his [Foresight] skill,
He hurriedly went towards his mother, but what he learned made him feel happy his mother was just unconscious. A few meters away from him a dead woman it was one of the maid that accompanied them. He knew that she was the traitor.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.
