《Worldbreaking》Chapter 19.5 - Acknowledged by Envy

“GAAAAAAAAAH!” Julius writhed in pain on the top of a bed within a small, isolated room. This was the backlash from reconstructing his human body after his transformation into an elemental.
“Even in death you have the audacity to haunt me, Alistair!” he wailed in agony while thrashing his body about.
The space within the room distorted, and another figure appeared within the room, standing next to the bed while looking down at the pitiable Julius.
“What do you want, Schwarz?!” Julius snapped at him. He clearly wasn’t in the mood for a get-together.
“I have a proposition for you, Julius,” Schwarz’s voice eerily sounded out.
“Proposition? What could you offer that could possibly interest me?” Julius arched his eyebrow in interest.
“Allow me to experiment on your most promising disciple, and I will rid you of your backlash,” Schwarz said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice.
Anger filled Julius, and just as he was about to ardently refuse the impudent suggestion, Schwarz placed a hand on the black mask covering his face, slowly removing it.
Julius’ face changed into one of utter disbelief.
“You are…! I see… So Schwarz was only an alias, hahaha! Who would have thought that the Sovereign of Poison was actually Sieghart the Black Blood!” Julius laughed madly at the revelation despite the pain running through his body.
Julius had seen the face beneath the mask many times in the past. Only, it was a face that could only be seen within records and history books. Sieghart the Black Blood, the founder of the Jaegers, groups of notorious criminal mercenaries that would take on any task for the right price. Their sphere of influence rooted itself deeply within the immortal community, with the “right price” for immortals being more than just money. Often known as the natural enemies of the Adventurer’s Association, Jaegers would kill their parents and betray their comrades without batting an eyelid if it benefitted them. It was said that the founder of the notorious Jaegers, Sieghart the Black Blood, had vanished without a trace centuries ago. Why would he appear again in Paragon now of all times?

(Why would he reveal his identity to me? Does this have any deeper meaning? Am I overthinking things? There’s more to Paragon than just “exterminating demons.” Unity…? Ha! A guild member tried to take my life just moments before! It appears that everyone, including the leader and Sieghart, have their own hidden agendas) countless thoughts raced through Julius’ mind in an instant. A guild where its members held the bare minimum of trust for one another.
Julius’ initial inclination to decline the proposition changed at the revelation of Schwarz’s true identity.
“Fine. I accept your proposal, Schwarz! You may take them!” Julius held no care whatsoever for his disciples, aside from Zieg who was the son of his good friend, they were all little more than disposable pawns to him.
Neither Schwarz nor Julius knew that their exchange at this time would lead to the creation of an absolute monster, the person to be acknowledged by Caljeal in the future that would threaten to bring Zieg and the world to its knees.

Windwalker
Having subdued its surrounding enemies, the former Sulic Empire is faced with unrest brewing from within. Society is torn in two. The reigning mentalists constantly persecute the subjugated elementals under the pretence of curbing the explosive potential of their destructive powers. Meanwhile, schemes and political interests clash as different groups within the Governance military elite vie for control. And in the shadows, Sulic’s old enemies have been lying in wait a long time, looking for the first sign of weakness to make their move. Against this backdrop, two ordinary individuals fight to maintain stability from opposing sides: a low ranking telepathic recruit with nothing to his name but good intentions, and an unregistered elemental contractor with a murky past. Can they reconcile their differences and help steer Sulic away from tearing itself apart? Windwalker explores themes of societal struggle and self-discovery. Book One: Rising Wind Kal has trained to be a soldier his entire life. His days are simple, and his duties clear: enforce the rules, upkeep the peace, and most important — police the elementals. If they step out of line, the Governance system corrects it. But when Kal encounters a young boy whom he suspects might be an illegal earthborn, he can’t bring himself to report him. Despite his training and the advice of friends, he decides to help him onto what he believes is the right path. This choice lands him in more trouble than he bargained for, and he soon discovers that the veneer the Governance is built upon an ugly and crumbling foundation.

The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?
