Arcuz town, Extreme north, Crestia Empire, Aldaria calendar year- 1530, 4th of the month of goblins.

A handsome 5-year-old boy with raven black and heterochromatic eyes was sitting in front of an old man in hemp clothes while holding a crystal ball.

The crystal ball started flickering with multiple lights and some words appeared on it -

Talent Grade - undetermined

The old man looked at the crystal ball with a stunned face and sighed while the boy looked to be on the verge of crying as he asked in a sniffling voice “Grandpa how is my talent can I become a warrior?”

The old man replied in a tender way “Drake you will have to work hard to become one and must learn everything I teach you”.

“Grandpa, I will learn everything you teach properly and become a warrior.’’

“I want to become like the man in my dreams who destroyed armies with a wave of his sword and shifted the heavens with his magic.’’

The old man went into thought “This kid has always been very quick in learning things but he always mention these dreams I hope he is not who i think he is if he is then his life will not be easy…’’

After snapped out of these thoughts he said to Drake “from tomorrow I will begin your training. By the way, has your left eye started getting its vision back? ”

“I am able to see a little now’’

‘’Ok then now run to the towns mercenary guild and bring me these herbs on the prescription’’

Drake caught the prescription and started running towards the town while looking through the list. While thinking “just why did grandpa have to build the house outside the town gates in the forest?”

Soon a huge wall with a gate came into view the guards waved towards drake and said “here for errands eh drake ’’.

Drake just nodded and continued rushing towards the guild. While all sorts of people greeted him. From merchants, commoners to mercenaries. As his grandpa was very well known for his ability to treat patients.

Soon a tavern like multi floored building came into view with a board on which mercenary guild was written in bold red paint. As he entered the building, and bought the herbs, he was pricked by a thorn from one of the herbs and a tiny drop of blood fell on to the black gem on his necklace, after licking his finger he started running back to the house just as he was halfway to the house he tripped and fell down. And the necklace with a gem attached to it that was worn by him fell off from his neck to the ground.

He went to pick it up and noticed that it had started glowing in a chaotic light and then there was a flash of light which engulfed Drake within it.

A majestic voice soon sounded in his head-

“All conquering sovereign descends

The bearer of the eye of primal chaos

Empires subdued, Hell trampled, heavens conquered

Wheel of destiny hates the bearer

the ancient devils tremble with the advent of the Shura….”

After the voice faded. Drake started writhing in agony as his whole body was wrecked in pain as he felt his blood boil. The skies darkened as lightning started flickering in the skies

But Drake was not aware of this as he had already lost consciousness as his body started oozing black colored sweat.

An old man appeared where Drake was as he watched these changes as he murmured ‘’So it is finally awakening.’’

The old man then waved his arm as some materials appeared in front of him after which he started forming hand seals while the materials started turning into liquid and forming a magic formation which concealed all the changes that were taking place and limited them.

These changes were witnessed by many people in the town of arcuz. As mercenaries started to investigate this phenomenon thinking that some sort of treasure had appeared in the Extreme North Demon Forest.

After the changes taking place in Drake got over he picked up the unconscious Drake and disappeared from that place.

…. ….

Deep in the night drake woke up and saw a familiar ceiling as he head his grandpas voice reprimanding him’’ What were you doing sleeping in the middle of the road I was so worried It was fortunate that I was coincidentally coming towards the village to buy some wine.’’

Drake was still confused as he found many abstruse and unknown things added to his memory. And felt his surroundings to be especially clearer he felt his sense and perception to be so strong that he could hear a fly flapping its wings and see an ant crawling 10m away.

His grandpa said while looking at the confused Drake ‘’ Well kid you just got your left eye vision back so get some sleep from tomorrow onwards I will pass down my knowledge and start teaching you about how to fight.”

The next morning drake was woken up by his grandfather as his days of learning and training began he learned about medicine and worldly knowledge in the morning which was the easiest for him as he could just memorize everything just by listening or reading it once once or twice. He was then made to do physical excersise to strengthen his body and create a strong foundation. His grandfather was merciless when it came to training and drake would always be wracked with pain as his grandfather used medicinal concoctions to make him fitter which caused him immense pains causing drake to continously scream. But he bore with this which was what made drakes will strong but if you ever asked him whether he liked training with his grandpa his face would go white while his body would not stop shaking.

In the future Drake would look back in his life and remember these days as these were what paved his way to becoming a great warrior.
