On a busy street in camelot there was a scene which was neither new or old but also hilarious a crowd of people passed two figures which seemed to be arguing one was a the well known professor adams who paved the way for ark tech looking refined with his red suit with a cloud imprint and a cane in hand which was odd considering the fact that he was still in his thirties.
Then second person who was being scolded was charon who stood their with a bewildered look because prominent figure who was before him scolding him for the coffee he just spilled on the professors suit "Watch were your going lad! do you know how much this suit cost l would demand compensation but looking at how your dressed its miracle you could even afford the coffee" said the Professor but he maintained a sense of calmness and his social standing was far above charon .Quickly he dropped his half spilled coffee cup and took out a napkin from the rising sun inn which he forgot he had.While trying to wipe away the the visible coffee stains on the shirt of the old man.
He said " l am truly sorry professor l was preoccupied with the contest you see whoever wins will be recruited to paint for Sir Uryan and his inner circle am not trying to sound egotistical by saying your suit is a small price to pay for greatness sorry am getting side tracked let me pay for your " before he could continue adams took out a classy white napkin which seemed to be embedded with gold writing and he wiped it on his suit which started to turn from red to black in its transformation showing a variety of colors like looking at a rainbow that was picking one color.
Adams responded with a chuckle then said in a amused voice "Well then applicant 306 l look forward to what you will present to us"The passing crowd stole glances at the scene of a top tier professor who was akin to a noble looking forward to art drawn by a peasant looking boy.Charon responded with a mischievous smile of his own saying"l am sure you will find it interesting"After that they went there separate ways.Charon went to a secluded alley which he naturally blended into with even wearing white sneakers and a hoodie and his uncombed brown hair.
He knelt down sweating bullets wondering how he survived the encounter.Because if adams ordered that he be killed the knights would not refuse since they will be watching the city for immediate threats.But completely camouflaged.What caught charon attention was the that adams was about to say something but a tiny translucent thread seemed to pocking out the top of his head going completely unnoticeable it was long enough to see where going but charon was not the adventurous type unless it benefited him.So he decided to let it go since people have a lot of a variety of Elysiums Pulses.
It started as a drug to help the people who were not chosen by the angels.But down the line it started giving people abilities they were not equal to like the one champions have who can control the sun but where enough to survive on. Despite being second rate to set foot in camelot requires one elysiums pulses be close to resonant which is the second class after awakening third is Kyriotic,Seraphic and lastly Celestrix.
The last stage makes one slightly closer to a champion in terms of power but still a copy of the real thing.It was rumored that heavens tears was made from a champion who could turn into a giant with wings who was said to leave in the north.Fighting nether beasts the size of continents but no one knows what happened to her even her name was forgotten in time.
Each rank has a mandate one must follow in order to evolve to the next one.Some are simple like help a 10000 people while others require one to sacrifice themselves for others.By the 20th century all of humanity had consumed Heavens tear some awakened some did not which is why they are mostly denied entry to arkeias which are domains owned by champions the one charon is at is called camelot which was recreated by uryan a one of the champions who is obsessed with perfection,folklore and art.
Uryan decided to host a competition to see what level of perfection can he recruit into his team if charon manages to win he would no longer be feeding if off scraps and sleeping in alleyways it was troublesome enough to still the clothes he was wearing.Hence the entire coffee incident was to scout the judges and use his ability omens bane allows him to change certain events to his benefit but in return he becomes closer to death.Today objective was to changes professor adams opinion of him like the other 4 he meticulously watched their morning routines just to get a good score from 4 out of 5 judges the last one was even harder to get to since its a surprise judge.
All in all something was off because charon was not sure he used his ability usually there would be mini cracks in the air itself looking like shattering glass but restores itself after then charon would feel the draw back the usual was his heart getting colder pale skin and blue nails at some even breathing felt like that alone was enough to shatter his lungs .He did not care if it meant a life of luxury a comfy bed to sleep in money and artifacts that he could use to cure his drawbacks.
He consumed heavens tear thrice the first two attempts were costly and did not work the third time he had to steal it from a trafficking ring which was harder than he thought but that a story for another time. Charon stood up feeling drowsy and continued to make his to the contest. He came to the conclusion that his ability did not work because of that ethereal thread he saw on adams head so either his ability worked and his getting better at controlling it or he shuddered at the thought of it having failed due to outside intervention he knows could not have done it since charon is the only one who can see its works meaning either adams had an artifact protecting from danger or the drug traffickers had defective goods.
Charon decided to leave the matter he could try again at the contest after all his was close to victory he has been in first place for an entire week."Hey there could you direct me to the rising sun inn "said the stranger who as oddly wearing black from head to toe what made it even worse was his grey hair but he seemed to be in his twenties his eyes were green like ember with a subtle darkness hidden within them his pale skin shined despite being covered his probably a noble visiting well at least l can haggle my way to bus fare.
"Sure l could tell you but whats in it for me its dangerous for nobles to be sightseeing"charon added a smirk the young man replied with a "but they knights protecting the city day and night who would " a finger was on his mouth prompting him to stop charon added"exactly to protect the city from monsters not people "then he pointed across the alley where there seemed to be a dead hostess who was swarmed with and blood still wet flies a old man also known as yaga sawing off her body parts and putting her remains in a black suit case no one seemed to care of even ask what happened it was the way of life in the alleys.
As charon looked at the young noble he decided to give him direction in which the noble responded by giving him 35 points which were enough rent a room for a day but charon was he did not have time to haggle for more.After showing the noble the way he turned in the opposite direction deciding to take a train or try his luck with a taxi.
"In the span of an hour there was an accident a truck went off road and hit a pedestrian the truck seemed to belong to a rebel group known as the nephilim with witnesses saying it was probaly a car chase resulting in " the repoeter continued to talk as the voices around sharon where slowly fading charon sat there staring at the cloudy sky and said " l should have taken lucy's umbrella damn she was right about today raining".Whilst the other half of his body a few meters away from him.
