Thirty minutes later, Rex and Denzel arrived at a remote island. It was a small island.
"Denzel, can you scout the area? I need to know what the population is here," Rex said.
"I'll scout the area and find food for you. Please be patient," Denzel replied before disappearing.
Rex smiled as the waves from the sea touched his feet. "From what I heard growing up on that damned ship, pirates are the ones who rule this world. I'll have to work my way to the top."
Denzel soon reappeared.
"I have returned," he said. "I have discovered life on this island. It's not a large population. Master, we are in the territory of Draven."
"Draven?" Rex asked, intrigued.
"Denzel nodded. 'Draven is a pirate known as the Red Wake. He leads a crew called The Reavers.'"
Rex grabbed a piece of dried bread from Denzel and started to crunch it.
"Why is he called the Red Wake?" Rex asked, chewing.
"Forgive me, Master, I don't have much information on that," Denzel replied.
"It's okay, Denzel. Now that I have a full belly, I can think clearly," Rex said.
"Do you have a plan, Master?" Denzel inquired.
Rex: To make a living in this world, I have to survive, and with this power, it's simple. I don't want a mundane life; I want everything. I will rule this world and create a place where only the strong survive.
Denzel: So you're turning the world against you? I thought you would be some kind of pirate hero.
Rex: In all my life, I've never known anything good. So why should the world I rule know good?
System
-Alert: Unknown ship incoming
-Cooldown [02:02:20]
"So even if the system is cooling down, it still warns me of danger." Rex removed the status screen. "A ship of pirates is approaching from the other side of the island," he told Denzel.
A child suddenly appeared from the woods, running towards the beach. She had yellow hair and wore a brown dress that looked a bit old.
"Denzel," Rex lifted his finger.
"Yes, master."
Denzel vanished. The child spotted Rex and ran toward him. Rex knelt on one knee and caught her. "Hey there, where are your parents?"
At that moment, another girl emerged from the woods. [She had Yellow hair and red eyes and light skin, and she was a bit taller than Rex] She appeared to be around Rex's age and ran toward them, calling out, "Marlice!" as she approached.
She arrives and says, "You shouldn't be running around at this time of day. It's way too dark."
Marlice replies, "Sorry, but I just don't want to be caught by them. They're too scary for me."
Rex asks, "Caught by who?"
The girl turns to Rex and asks, "And who are you?" Then, she slaps Rex on the cheek. "I can't let you have her." She grabs the child and runs away into the darkness.
Rex is confused about what just happened. He runs over and grabs the girl. "Listen here, you little piece of trash, I don't care who you are, but that slap was out of hand. Apologize before I make you regret it."
"I'm sorry, I just want to protect my sister. I'm sorry."
Rex lets go of her. at that moment, an explosion echoes on the other side of the island. This surprised Rex, "What's going on?" Rex asks the girl. "The pirates have started attacking. They want women and children, but the people don't want to give them up. The Reavers have abandoned us."
Rex: Well, I'm a villain, I can't help you
She looks at him and sizes him, "I doubt somebody as short as you can help, plus you look young to be taking on Pirates."
Rex: You dare doubt me?
The girl looks away. "Yes, I am doubting you." Rex grabs the girl by the hand and walks with her toward the village. "I will show you not to doubt me."
In the village, everyone is standing at the centre of the village, and the pirates choose the girls they like. Dragging them to the ship.
5 DAYS AGO
In the kingdom of Marlenia, a woman wearing a pink suit is walking in a hallway of Marlenia Castle, followed by a maid, "Princess, the king said you should not go there, it's dangerous, that island is full of pirates."
"The pirates have infested the people of Roknir. That area is not the kingdom's territory, but those people's lives need a hero, and I'm the right hero for the job," she exclaimed while walking out of the castle doors. She finds three guards in front of her holding spears.
" Princess, we have orders to stop you from advancing. You should return to your chambers under our king's command. If you disobey, we have the right to take you down," the guard says.
"Get out of my way," she exclaimed as her fist began to get covered by a pink aura. The guard holds their possession and readies themselves for a fight. She charges at them, and one of the guards attempts to stab her, but she grabs the spear and breaks it and uses the handle to knock him down. The other two do the same, and she blocks them using the handle. "Get out of my way!" she shouts while smacking both of them out.
She runs towards the castle walls and jumps over them. Three girls appear on her side as she runs, " Sera, you can't leave us behind. Wherever you go, we follow as well."
"Princess, we are not letting you leave," a man wearing a white suit with golden hair shouts at her, " damn it's Gen, we must find a way to lose, quickly, let's use the Elven forest." A pink Aura starts to cover her body.
"Hold on tight," she says. Her hand holds her; she jumps from the castle walls and stays up in the air, traveling 10 km in flight to the Elven forest. The moment she arrives, she cloaks herself and her friends in the woods.
A golden light shines from far, approaching the forest. Gen arrives at the forest. "Princess, where are you?" he walks around, scouting the area for her. "Look, princess, I'm not here to stop you, even if I wanted to. I'm unarmed. Come out, let's talk," he says.
She comes out of the woods, "What do you want, Gen?" she asked.
Gen: I don't want much, I just want to wish my wife good luck
Sera: We are not married yet. I'm against arranged marriage. But I know this is not the reason you're here. What do you want?
Gen: I just want to wish good luck.
She looks at him." Even though I don't appreciate it, thanks," she turns around and leaves.
