Suddenly the tavern door was thrown open and a man burst in, panting heavily. "The undead are attacking the village!" he shouted.391Please respect copyright.PENANAUyKMZuno9C
391Please respect copyright.PENANAlhyawEE1qa
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANA8EiuBBZjhx
391Please respect copyright.PENANAF3iXwzkoMr
Dorian - What do we do?391Please respect copyright.PENANAtL0ql0CS3N
391Please respect copyright.PENANApQ8LVCbmjd
Lunadea - These are the same undead that attacked the girl in the forest, don't you think? We should help.391Please respect copyright.PENANA8qYohvRtAO
391Please respect copyright.PENANAqvKuUFjdWM
Dorian - Let's go!391Please respect copyright.PENANAWCUumAUWdC
391Please respect copyright.PENANAXUoNyzyFMQ
Lunadea - The world needs some new heroes!391Please respect copyright.PENANASy3eyi9gB8
391Please respect copyright.PENANAbzx2NZZUdk
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANA6D0NQRLUjv
391Please respect copyright.PENANAHCHiZnVpb2
Sword guy - Who are you?391Please respect copyright.PENANAKkiBB0TR95
391Please respect copyright.PENANArBZZd3PdnX
Dorian - We're just trying to help.391Please respect copyright.PENANAXkoAIPl0vW
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdkn9b8D0r5
Sword guy - Good, we could use some help.391Please respect copyright.PENANAvg6Xneh7aC
391Please respect copyright.PENANA0la49risp1
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANAc2Zti4MVYR
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdpG0T0yjOe
Ethan - I'm Ethan, the captain of the town's guard.391Please respect copyright.PENANA5TyHDpBY6A
391Please respect copyright.PENANA038PKcU9Qc
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANAylBvnPCgqb
391Please respect copyright.PENANAHqCWzRe5C6
Dorian - I'm Dorian, and this is Lunadea. We're just passing through.391Please respect copyright.PENANAmg1PfjOYAY
391Please respect copyright.PENANAxoeRcPUfHX
Ethan - Just passing through, huh? Two magic warriors traveling through this town? You're trying to become Shadomins, aren't you?391Please respect copyright.PENANACtXW9VUjCK
391Please respect copyright.PENANA6QB341z0Au
Lunadea - Is it that obvious?391Please respect copyright.PENANAneWHjUVsqJ
391Please respect copyright.PENANAxtzCbFQxyW
Ethan chuckled.391Please respect copyright.PENANAsDUwLXENah
391Please respect copyright.PENANA09ooWUzYuu
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANAFNoKhNUmDa
391Please respect copyright.PENANAk1jRFPv9iU
Dorian started to decline, but Lunadea eagerly accepted.391Please respect copyright.PENANA0FnbtjbrTi
391Please respect copyright.PENANAG2wSTfhxFh
Ethan - Great! Come on, I'll introduce you to the mayor of the town.391Please respect copyright.PENANAEddXyyfgT3
391Please respect copyright.PENANAPMeUZAeVFf
While on the road to the mayor, Dorian and Lunadea argued about the reward.391Please respect copyright.PENANAmcTeOJVVum
391Please respect copyright.PENANA3FpptTj5Nn
Lunadea - We need the money to survive! Why did you want to decline the reward?391Please respect copyright.PENANA3vYaUkKRMc
391Please respect copyright.PENANAFBad0ZQPAn
Dorian - But you shouted that "the world needs new heroes" how is accepting a reward heroish?391Please respect copyright.PENANAYoESxmVQZf
391Please respect copyright.PENANAPtXNhtsb2T
Lunadea - How will dying of hunger help people?391Please respect copyright.PENANAVEQQNcGrAE
391Please respect copyright.PENANAkCNSmTlPFE
Ethan - Ok you two! We're here. Hey! Mister mayor?!391Please respect copyright.PENANA3hQxa1v9wA
391Please respect copyright.PENANAppchtomM5q
Mayor - Ethan! What's the situation? Who are these two?391Please respect copyright.PENANAOwKxI9T9ss
391Please respect copyright.PENANA1iZcHOkzVP
Ethan - The town is clear and these two travelers helped us clear it.391Please respect copyright.PENANAcODXo9Wjua
391Please respect copyright.PENANAuWvZfq2Brh
Mayor - They did? My name is Cornelius and I'm the mayor of this town, thank you for helping us.391Please respect copyright.PENANAtIWXFb2grC
391Please respect copyright.PENANAA35PRqpKnD
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!391Please respect copyright.PENANAW9X7mwn9bP
391Please respect copyright.PENANASEIoq1oUPj
Cornelius - Magic users? Why help us?391Please respect copyright.PENANAD2wr67oifp
391Please respect copyright.PENANAYhgu7JVwE0
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANAshtkQYScNM
391Please respect copyright.PENANA7srzteNg5b
Cornelius - His daughter?! You saw her?391Please respect copyright.PENANA6SC9utsA6V
391Please respect copyright.PENANAxSiM7gfJSD
Dorian - What does that mean?391Please respect copyright.PENANASQV0DWuIlb
391Please respect copyright.PENANABoPzsYl0sA
Cornelius - ...391Please respect copyright.PENANAKZKixsCDxF
391Please respect copyright.PENANASt7QOU8xKE
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANASdTp8SQFOg
391Please respect copyright.PENANAjP3UGKRxtx
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 me391Please respect copyright.PENANAdHyFEb2cEs
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdD5YKXAQAq
Cornelius - Tell me this isn't true, Ereadus.391Please respect copyright.PENANAOO7GXOYxnL
391Please respect copyright.PENANAsJRyK7g7cY
Ereadus - I'm afraid it is.391Please respect copyright.PENANAHC7vbtKL7O
391Please respect copyright.PENANAhQfMqwtBph
Cornelius - But how is that possible? You have no magic!391Please respect copyright.PENANATy0y0BrVeh
391Please respect copyright.PENANAISrbT7RKt6
Ereadus - There is so much we don't know about magic, and there are many things that your king doesn't tell you.391Please respect copyright.PENANAcJF2DTwXed
391Please respect copyright.PENANAuSwNcwdRlr
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1uA0tPV1V
391Please respect copyright.PENANAhE392K7Acv
Ereadus - I will stop taking your people. But never come near my castle again. If you do, I'll kill all of you.391Please respect copyright.PENANA6Kbybe5ZpG
391Please respect copyright.PENANAnkliv2xvVK
Cornelius - And what about your daughter?391Please respect copyright.PENANApMdS5bHMqp
391Please respect copyright.PENANAyc55p95LB4
Ereadus - Don't mention my daughter, Cornelius. I'll take care of her. Now leave and never come back.391Please respect copyright.PENANA8NChWnXpyM
391Please respect copyright.PENANAx0l2h18u8G
Cornelius - That was the last time I saw him. He hasn't attacked the village since then.391Please respect copyright.PENANAaIegXTTlGZ
391Please respect copyright.PENANA674sQj0eh0
Dorian - Then why now?391Please respect copyright.PENANAnhGROlG2Du
391Please respect copyright.PENANAURg9V911W8
Cornelius - Something else happened...391Please respect copyright.PENANAXyrs9QPXJj
391Please respect copyright.PENANAVZAzwMdyxa
Ethan - He killed my father.391Please respect copyright.PENANAndSCILHE29
391Please respect copyright.PENANAj9oMSbXUgp
The air in the room was thick with tension. Cornelius looked uneasy as he spoke.391Please respect copyright.PENANAHbbZ1mpIe5
391Please respect copyright.PENANAvtjO2t6Pnr
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANAPS8JZ7k4Rj
391Please respect copyright.PENANAAPtTYTQhjz
Lunadea - What did you do then?391Please respect copyright.PENANAxe5Grh9xJT
391Please respect copyright.PENANA997YmO9Lq4
Cornelius sighed.391Please respect copyright.PENANALdw1CHrHiU
391Please respect copyright.PENANArByky0l9tj
Cornelius - Nothing. I knew Ereadus was too powerful, and if we went to war with him, everyone in the village would suffer.391Please respect copyright.PENANA7W0Cvyx9rr
391Please respect copyright.PENANA63EUs0gdko
Dorian - It makes sense.391Please respect copyright.PENANAgNog6DOzbW
391Please respect copyright.PENANARNtLWBSzBp
Just then, a young girl burst into the room.391Please respect copyright.PENANA0ayXoXSSdB
391Please respect copyright.PENANAMGtihk21x9
Girl - Mister mayor! she cried. You need to help me! My daughter is missing!391Please respect copyright.PENANAhV53OtOKzn
391Please respect copyright.PENANARVL5YLby9D
Ethan - What?391Please respect copyright.PENANA6KV406LxyJ
391Please respect copyright.PENANAt6vEhgB08h
Lunadea - Mister mayor! This is surely his fault!391Please respect copyright.PENANAG8uMEnfx3p
391Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2g60pzugN
Elie - His? Who? Who took my baby?391Please respect copyright.PENANAXvkID40Abf
391Please respect copyright.PENANAv68eVEL31q
Ethan - What do we do, Mister Mayor?391Please respect copyright.PENANA3jadY2eN1A
391Please respect copyright.PENANAkaNoUbfKzx
Cornelius had a look of concern on his face. Lunadea spoke up.391Please respect copyright.PENANArO1gYmmwgQ
391Please respect copyright.PENANAJjPGeiuwBf
Lunadea - You didn't do anything then, do something now. Let us help you!391Please respect copyright.PENANAoM90COKUvF
391Please respect copyright.PENANAmZWb6kXXS5
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANAYMOvMEYkUi
391Please respect copyright.PENANAgNfc9Ad7Pq
Ethan - Is it "his" time?391Please respect copyright.PENANAiX0xls5JiS
391Please respect copyright.PENANADX5Rna8HEb
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANA2VMIq5Ez6G
391Please respect copyright.PENANAwtooHjP8UD
Dorian, sensing potential danger, gets his guard up and becomes cautious.391Please respect copyright.PENANAnN3tFiy4Xf
391Please respect copyright.PENANALIYW1oKRde
Dorian - Is that going to be a problem?391Please respect copyright.PENANAQqEa4M1Ix0
391Please respect copyright.PENANAAZBUERMJ4a
Cornelius - You saved my people, even if the world hates you, I could never.391Please respect copyright.PENANAGFUuE8eIfC
391Please respect copyright.PENANAW0mGOMZwAr
Ethan - I saw you fight alongside me. I could never not respect that.391Please respect copyright.PENANAAsXmSFNYTc
391Please respect copyright.PENANAp8OZFkmIco
Cornelius - Now, are you guys in?391Please respect copyright.PENANADbZUoQLgF3
391Please respect copyright.PENANAEueYBL1EEm
Dorian - We're in! Luna?391Please respect copyright.PENANAPHYFwBooEU
391Please respect copyright.PENANAIhHgB6XrTX
Lunadea - Huh? Yes Of course I'm in!391Please respect copyright.PENANA1yo1DsrfEP
391Please respect copyright.PENANAxsctVd7boC
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANApq54NRpqzj
391Please respect copyright.PENANAUVOHSjh0UZ
Cornelius - Sammy, it's your turn to pay off your debt.391Please respect copyright.PENANAOzJZLYp6XI
391Please respect copyright.PENANAsLcCIbn6Oj
Sammy - Whatever, old man. What do you want me to do?391Please respect copyright.PENANARIueRkUsZ7
391Please respect copyright.PENANADErPntsgZw
Cornelius - I need you to rescue a little girl from Ereadus.391Please respect copyright.PENANAD6GyPUdUfY
391Please respect copyright.PENANAICuLCllbtg
Sammy - Fine.391Please respect copyright.PENANAUQicOMEhDT
391Please respect copyright.PENANAoktjfETiwd
He didn't seem particularly concerned about the task, in fact, he looked quite bored.391Please respect copyright.PENANASVesYnDSYd
391Please respect copyright.PENANAcj3dPbnVXR
Cornelius - Wait! You'll have a team with you.391Please respect copyright.PENANAyNRVjC2rYn
391Please respect copyright.PENANARIdnVe82ta
Sammy - A team?391Please respect copyright.PENANAtZmdY4MC6a
391Please respect copyright.PENANAkUGGlNLY7K
Cornelius - Dorian, Lunadea, and Ethan will be joining you.391Please respect copyright.PENANAzHzGQsClu0
391Please respect copyright.PENANAzrFdYW8JOe
Sammy - No thanks.391Please respect copyright.PENANAo8JDbqg7gG
391Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2dkF5iRA1
Cornelius - This is not a request, Sammy.391Please respect copyright.PENANAjL1I8LxcnO
391Please respect copyright.PENANAzgEJaQAJrN
In a flash, he vanished in the smoke and reappeared behind the mayor's chair.391Please respect copyright.PENANAdprwZh4JJp
391Please respect copyright.PENANA0N33gA5ChW
Sammy - Listen, old man. I do have a debt to pay, but that doesn't mean I take orders from you.391Please respect copyright.PENANAq1FqYfFfve
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdzbz9ifvna
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...391Please respect copyright.PENANAIU8647Hjon
391Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ5TvFNRFi
Sammy vanished in the smoke again and reappeared, standing face to face with Ethan.391Please respect copyright.PENANA2xC1wsgoc8
391Please respect copyright.PENANAh4Temq42B4
Sammy - What do you know about my capabilities?391Please respect copyright.PENANAOv2J48ynvg
391Please respect copyright.PENANAH8m4wdrbQy
Lunadea - We don't need you. Mister mayor, let us three go.391Please respect copyright.PENANACwbCblybbp
391Please respect copyright.PENANAgQL3GcwguQ
Sammy turns to Lunadea with a bored expression.391Please respect copyright.PENANA290xcbBm2M
391Please respect copyright.PENANA5y3grhf25H
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...391Please respect copyright.PENANA85UMzAexxZ
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdkhTD7IZJ4
He couldn't finish the sentence before Dorian touched his back.391Please respect copyright.PENANAflwdQuwVBF
391Please respect copyright.PENANAfplE6EZwKY
Everyone was stunned.391Please respect copyright.PENANAS7b5s7mtui
391Please respect copyright.PENANAmCeBu3QcEk
Sammy - Interesting one here. What's your name?391Please respect copyright.PENANA2lPzqDsim5

Ethan - (These two are incredible.)391Please respect copyright.PENANAlSyQQMyrrM

391Please respect copyright.PENANAFWBeaTmIps
Sammy - I'll wait for you at the castle gate. Don't be late.391Please respect copyright.PENANA1dVO9gQET2
391Please respect copyright.PENANAZVnaJnhrs0
And with that, he disappears into his smoke again.391Please respect copyright.PENANAE8D1ruq8x1
391Please respect copyright.PENANAR0k6MuBxsV
Ethan - Well, let's go you two391Please respect copyright.PENANAZWdhxEDk5F
391Please respect copyright.PENANAdiyICv9IEY
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANAnars5f4BV7
391Please respect copyright.PENANAjl4j7iXBE5
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.391Please respect copyright.PENANA36EjjmqG89
391Please respect copyright.PENANATytEqnsIA9
Dorian - These daggers are insanely good!391Please respect copyright.PENANAN0Llfk8Z82
391Please respect copyright.PENANAymfi55m4rl
Lunadea - I love the uniforms, they fit so well!391Please respect copyright.PENANA7zGvO6HV7y
391Please respect copyright.PENANAxDIel0F9qx
Ethan - You guys look amazing! Let's go now, it's time for Ereadus to pay for what he has done.
