Suddenly the tavern door was thrown open and a man burst in, panting heavily. "The undead are attacking the village!" he shouted.168Please respect copyright.PENANAV60Bw1juig
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8eEGCXx0Dm
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANADpceMM8j9K
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwIXCWufrX2
Dorian - What do we do?168Please respect copyright.PENANAA70pBgEDaF
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkWgtFkHP9G
Lunadea - These are the same undead that attacked the girl in the forest, don't you think? We should help.168Please respect copyright.PENANARwHLzz4dM3
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPcv21EBRoO
Dorian - Let's go!168Please respect copyright.PENANADrACxP9GFF
168Please respect copyright.PENANAGwUYvMwkdj
Lunadea - The world needs some new heroes!168Please respect copyright.PENANAMg2zzxKgor
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcdSvZUippk
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAWigegx2J5R
168Please respect copyright.PENANAA3DETQ0QKp
Sword guy - Who are you?168Please respect copyright.PENANAIo51ZDJS5L
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8nhyenIcLo
Dorian - We're just trying to help.168Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Pt6xLhZ9
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyZVnI7KNtx
Sword guy - Good, we could use some help.168Please respect copyright.PENANAOi6ZdOdRkm
168Please respect copyright.PENANAsFoSK0z91Y
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAbprkFcIBoF
168Please respect copyright.PENANALGLA8nM0Xv
Ethan - I'm Ethan, the captain of the town's guard.168Please respect copyright.PENANA8IOwojiWsk
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAnBFWeYWoh
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA3Sp4XC9IWl
168Please respect copyright.PENANALCkn0Haxnl
Dorian - I'm Dorian, and this is Lunadea. We're just passing through.168Please respect copyright.PENANAaL3MsStp9k
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6mCR0zPcdp
Ethan - Just passing through, huh? Two magic warriors traveling through this town? You're trying to become Shadomins, aren't you?168Please respect copyright.PENANAjDynPvbucJ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPZFOT3ZQQE
Lunadea - Is it that obvious?168Please respect copyright.PENANA8mB6hvBKKt
168Please respect copyright.PENANA39CibpOBRU
Ethan chuckled.168Please respect copyright.PENANANmtSBu0TFe
168Please respect copyright.PENANAw3EuEejJuO
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAaUqv6mszHO
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8ryry15a6g
Dorian started to decline, but Lunadea eagerly accepted.168Please respect copyright.PENANAj88yL7aL27
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmgeQh0FGdt
Ethan - Great! Come on, I'll introduce you to the mayor of the town.168Please respect copyright.PENANAW0CoPNUIdw
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnYlOunzSmc
While on the road to the mayor, Dorian and Lunadea argued about the reward.168Please respect copyright.PENANAGRjHHtxm5W
168Please respect copyright.PENANArxpJRBRxAj
Lunadea - We need the money to survive! Why did you want to decline the reward?168Please respect copyright.PENANA4p9qvtfLBK
168Please respect copyright.PENANADjFPBODkmy
Dorian - But you shouted that "the world needs new heroes" how is accepting a reward heroish?168Please respect copyright.PENANAr2l89tXBNF
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPBUWUNEZem
Lunadea - How will dying of hunger help people?168Please respect copyright.PENANAE6NXUJDaY3
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoNUm0b1G5T
Ethan - Ok you two! We're here. Hey! Mister mayor?!168Please respect copyright.PENANAf22qW2frrQ
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZiUafhiUf
Mayor - Ethan! What's the situation? Who are these two?168Please respect copyright.PENANAV8mjX2TXTo
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlLrD7SVvm4
Ethan - The town is clear and these two travelers helped us clear it.168Please respect copyright.PENANARgWKpDFQkh
168Please respect copyright.PENANAush8kcSav2
Mayor - They did? My name is Cornelius and I'm the mayor of this town, thank you for helping us.168Please respect copyright.PENANAnxGrqH5yBi
168Please respect copyright.PENANA4EVMLGMRHs
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!168Please respect copyright.PENANAnmBS8PM28W
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2YDVXkERH
Cornelius - Magic users? Why help us?168Please respect copyright.PENANAnmrbenmqfz
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9sL7kcOEa2
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA9JNQf4qFu2
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzWoyUjzSlk
Cornelius - His daughter?! You saw her?168Please respect copyright.PENANAPCWIjwzqMn
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAxMnt2DvhH
Dorian - What does that mean?168Please respect copyright.PENANAGrwoexWFfG
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3agHYFmq98
Cornelius - ...168Please respect copyright.PENANAbsNkYKT48v
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5g60gSkqET
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAjzAvL9IZKM
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVFvZvumw4V
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 me168Please respect copyright.PENANAyWZf6lqiIa
168Please respect copyright.PENANAxP3aOqjVQi
Cornelius - Tell me this isn't true, Ereadus.168Please respect copyright.PENANA9PhBaThAci
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzQraZ1hhUZ
Ereadus - I'm afraid it is.168Please respect copyright.PENANAZjZQdA0kJ0
168Please respect copyright.PENANAUZmCHQEv4o
Cornelius - But how is that possible? You have no magic!168Please respect copyright.PENANAj7NpNFNiPJ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKZKF2ncRNf
Ereadus - There is so much we don't know about magic, and there are many things that your king doesn't tell you.168Please respect copyright.PENANAj7Ps5P5q3z
168Please respect copyright.PENANADbnfECivF4
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAl62GWUWcxT
168Please respect copyright.PENANAIltSrCaEhB
Ereadus - I will stop taking your people. But never come near my castle again. If you do, I'll kill all of you.168Please respect copyright.PENANAXUhAu2g9mQ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAz5Np9dd1OW
Cornelius - And what about your daughter?168Please respect copyright.PENANAPOGDBhOboc
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWcFIf3vUid
Ereadus - Don't mention my daughter, Cornelius. I'll take care of her. Now leave and never come back.168Please respect copyright.PENANAgSToRtEKak
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8pbVNEW3Cz
Cornelius - That was the last time I saw him. He hasn't attacked the village since then.168Please respect copyright.PENANAhgWdWIjJ9s
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvoAcxe95D3
Dorian - Then why now?168Please respect copyright.PENANAlqEt9paCKn
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzsPK65neGz
Cornelius - Something else happened...168Please respect copyright.PENANAs3W0pDxgo3
168Please respect copyright.PENANAJC20COJtZ4
Ethan - He killed my father.168Please respect copyright.PENANAi6ni5FRbuW
168Please respect copyright.PENANArGZo5vf04k
The air in the room was thick with tension. Cornelius looked uneasy as he spoke.168Please respect copyright.PENANAzJknmN8Vva
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQHsywTEQFI
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAIuhT5aIExr
168Please respect copyright.PENANAi5skk60GKq
Lunadea - What did you do then?168Please respect copyright.PENANAkhEC41M9w7
168Please respect copyright.PENANAX0zBwTkjop
Cornelius sighed.168Please respect copyright.PENANAuUQ4G7aMNz
168Please respect copyright.PENANAzSE3JCRaBm
Cornelius - Nothing. I knew Ereadus was too powerful, and if we went to war with him, everyone in the village would suffer.168Please respect copyright.PENANAUU1vX4KiEn
168Please respect copyright.PENANAk4TtL3rGBn
Dorian - It makes sense.168Please respect copyright.PENANAWxMS0x52wP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAF63wpc1CvH
Just then, a young girl burst into the room.168Please respect copyright.PENANAMnSD1cQroi
168Please respect copyright.PENANASoi14pT8Bp
Girl - Mister mayor! she cried. You need to help me! My daughter is missing!168Please respect copyright.PENANAZxQcDkxte3
168Please respect copyright.PENANAU27oPqzY44
Ethan - What?168Please respect copyright.PENANAO4u4OHAepV
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcryiP0P17z
Lunadea - Mister mayor! This is surely his fault!168Please respect copyright.PENANA0UjExwwTaY
168Please respect copyright.PENANACKgM7rhdHk
Elie - His? Who? Who took my baby?168Please respect copyright.PENANAJkNZ9CnjHG
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnXKbiczLAS
Ethan - What do we do, Mister Mayor?168Please respect copyright.PENANAFbqNCBvhb0
168Please respect copyright.PENANAR5cRMsODus
Cornelius had a look of concern on his face. Lunadea spoke up.168Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ5bDTffTM
168Please respect copyright.PENANAXXP4nOtRcM
Lunadea - You didn't do anything then, do something now. Let us help you!168Please respect copyright.PENANAnqoDph3NkD
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWY1THTVy0m
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA8zTM8BDCwM
168Please respect copyright.PENANASST0lwpEAV
Ethan - Is it "his" time?168Please respect copyright.PENANA3prq1cMNuy
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQI5Uq5B0co
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANA5zDtPH5fuH
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf2rAqQdCsh
Dorian, sensing potential danger, gets his guard up and becomes cautious.168Please respect copyright.PENANA22BipIjOUp
168Please respect copyright.PENANAhg0T3ec402
Dorian - Is that going to be a problem?168Please respect copyright.PENANAf2Ur8Zbdoi
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOo0tGRWecY
Cornelius - You saved my people, even if the world hates you, I could never.168Please respect copyright.PENANAbUl6ZBwwX9
168Please respect copyright.PENANAX4vAqlQkcB
Ethan - I saw you fight alongside me. I could never not respect that.168Please respect copyright.PENANAqG6mDOdZaJ
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1iZwyBHFPy
Cornelius - Now, are you guys in?168Please respect copyright.PENANAmxEFn8FjYF
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcb9cDSK3A1
Dorian - We're in! Luna?168Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ZDg7Czuj
168Please respect copyright.PENANARqZcPtYhvp
Lunadea - Huh? Yes Of course I'm in!168Please respect copyright.PENANA6UmasBt2MG
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeYxwzCM3GB
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAYXilpqKMKO
168Please respect copyright.PENANAf7cfli2XJB
Cornelius - Sammy, it's your turn to pay off your debt.168Please respect copyright.PENANAFEa4NlmpgS
168Please respect copyright.PENANAej3txAW4uW
Sammy - Whatever, old man. What do you want me to do?168Please respect copyright.PENANADuOt69SnrF
168Please respect copyright.PENANATUmZmKSyax
Cornelius - I need you to rescue a little girl from Ereadus.168Please respect copyright.PENANA1C4oxUAAuy
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwcwQLaKMAa
Sammy - Fine.168Please respect copyright.PENANA1ttf5or8Cb
168Please respect copyright.PENANA8eWiOMY2co
He didn't seem particularly concerned about the task, in fact, he looked quite bored.168Please respect copyright.PENANA2G326t9uuZ
168Please respect copyright.PENANAb7spSZ90Zh
Cornelius - Wait! You'll have a team with you.168Please respect copyright.PENANAADy6c4Jc3l
168Please respect copyright.PENANANHvNhabggT
Sammy - A team?168Please respect copyright.PENANAaMdfWfUmBK
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVW42NGYarT
Cornelius - Dorian, Lunadea, and Ethan will be joining you.168Please respect copyright.PENANA0w8IWHlXBi
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQWT2mg9cen
Sammy - No thanks.168Please respect copyright.PENANAuqDEv3RGXB
168Please respect copyright.PENANANLKJ0BsT9t
Cornelius - This is not a request, Sammy.168Please respect copyright.PENANAw2hfupqmLP
168Please respect copyright.PENANACDGHNyqFgR
In a flash, he vanished in the smoke and reappeared behind the mayor's chair.168Please respect copyright.PENANAu6gWOcIuNB
168Please respect copyright.PENANAszMtzJId2y
Sammy - Listen, old man. I do have a debt to pay, but that doesn't mean I take orders from you.168Please respect copyright.PENANAB3ew4B0LQu
168Please respect copyright.PENANADdFFG96Va5
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...168Please respect copyright.PENANAgM9QmYXGgC
168Please respect copyright.PENANAcqx0RLgkQu
Sammy vanished in the smoke again and reappeared, standing face to face with Ethan.168Please respect copyright.PENANALpvJja9tkL
168Please respect copyright.PENANA906qaLQI75
Sammy - What do you know about my capabilities?168Please respect copyright.PENANAt5WaJKLSS0
168Please respect copyright.PENANAnZNvszX0K9
Lunadea - We don't need you. Mister mayor, let us three go.168Please respect copyright.PENANAufA5ypUNuV
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKKKE211T4N
Sammy turns to Lunadea with a bored expression.168Please respect copyright.PENANAa398kvm0hQ
168Please respect copyright.PENANADOdYYOX46j
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...168Please respect copyright.PENANAvFmWtlXpZP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjSJdt5CF0M
He couldn't finish the sentence before Dorian touched his back.168Please respect copyright.PENANASIo7O1NURc
168Please respect copyright.PENANAO8eXIxQtpz
Everyone was stunned.168Please respect copyright.PENANAmkDSPWeMq0
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFTMulycz5e

168Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ47QDTjOH
Sammy - I'll wait for you at the castle gate. Don't be late.168Please respect copyright.PENANAvs4bvAvhXo
168Please respect copyright.PENANA1pATdat3qN
And with that, he disappears into his smoke again.168Please respect copyright.PENANAhrdg9GdSfl
168Please respect copyright.PENANAoeoKqhk5vY
Ethan - Well, let's go you two168Please respect copyright.PENANABNnnQWdkx8
168Please respect copyright.PENANA6yrId7X4PF
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAQwqq1Qbikq
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfaTLlOFr3r
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.168Please respect copyright.PENANAYmqEVw9LwA
168Please respect copyright.PENANA498GbCze5q
Dorian - These daggers are insanely good!168Please respect copyright.PENANAzJOMOoiI3N

Lunadea - I love the uniforms, they fit so well!168Please respect copyright.PENANA6pbZayxVFs
168Please respect copyright.PENANArt1Di9x6ev
Ethan - You guys look amazing! Let's go now, it's time for Ereadus to pay for what he has done.
