Z wakes up.
He open his eyes, flames surrounding him.
He didn't give attention.
He was already broken from inside.
Curse, organizations, and forbidden magic.
Everything was trying to get him.
Not everything... But the whole world seems versus him.
Why would 4 mages target him and more focused on him than the others.
Why... Why am I... targeted?
Am I the reason behind all of.. this?
Am I..... The problem?
Z was laying on the ground.
Thinking if all of this happened because of him.
Or is it because he got a rare power.
"Are you awake yet?"
Z found an old man talking to him, he's made of full flames.
"What do you think about this place?"
Z didn't answer.
"I've been living in this place for long long time ago."
Z ignored him.
"You know... You're a special, child.
You could be the strongest in this timezone, i can feel it... "
Z asked how old is he.
He's one thousand years old...
Z didn't react but asked again out of curiosity.
Are you...The first flames user?
The old man looked at him.
He saw Z's face.
He was serious...
"Yes... I'm the first flame user in this place, and this place is (試練の神殿) or known as Temple of Trails.
There's eight type of trails.
Dark, light, earth, green, lighting, wind, and the last two is the strongest among them.
Flames and ice or known as water. "
-"Water?"
"Yes, water.
There's two types of water.
Boiled water, cold water
Or acid and ice.
Both of them ruled the world once but in silence."
Z looked at the sky again.
Clear, nice, comfortable.
He looked around him.
Flames, smoke, and human that's made of flames.
Z asked if they talk the same language.
The old man answers with no,
They speak Germany.
Z was about to ask again, but the old man had enough of him.
The old man told him that if he didn't finish this trail in under 3 days he'll die.
Z didn't react but a calm face.
Fine what's this trail about?
The old man was about to say the rules but he felt something... Powerful...
The Curse inside Z...
The old man was in shock.
He hits Z from behind throwing him away, or that's what he thought...
Z's hair changes to white and the curse was half controlling.
The punch flew toward Z,
but he caught it mid-air.
The old man tried to kick him.
But Z grabbed his leg and threw him away.
Z was thinking about how he'll end him but before he reacts the ground splits and a small crack appears under Z.
The old man was looking at him falling inside the crack.
You don't deserve this place...
Meet you in hell...
As Z was falling he was trying to climb or use his power to fly up but the power refused.
Z kept falling but he didnt react he was still thinking about the curse.
"You don't know what are you falling into, do you?" the curse talked.
-"As long as I'm alive I don't care what's going on."
"You won't survive for long there."
-"Try me."
As Z was falling inside the crack a weird creature appeared in the dark trying to attack him but Z dodges and tries to attack back but his hands flew away.
Z was shocked.
He knew he will actually won't survive this so he tried to control his power again.
The power didn't react.
The calm in Z's eyes vanished, replaced by cold focus.
He touches his heart and his power came back again.
While he was trying to control his power the weird creature appears again and attacks him
But in time Z dodges and punched him in the chest.
The creature didn't stop but got even angrier.
His speed increased but his strength got weaker.
Z took the chance and made another punch to his face killing him this time.
Z's strength and power is superbly strong thanks to the one thousand and eight hundred hits.
After falling for minutes, he lands on the deep ground where everything looked dark and...horror.
Super dark it feels fimiliar to him...
Yes, the cursed world.
But Z didn't feel fear... Yet
He looks around, everything is dark.
He uses his hands to uses the flames as light.
Once he did many creatures appeared, the same creature he just fought.
He know he don't have chance to fight them but he also don't have time to run...
He decides to fight them.
A serious face but shakey hands.
It's not because of fear or scared.
It's because he knows he won't make it alive.
He isn't afraid if he loses an arm or a leg but he's afraid of dying.
Death was following him since the moment he opened his eyes for the first time.
Now everytime he opens his eyes, it's either curse, dead body's, or dark flames.
Now he's fighting a tall black creature with weird white hands and a face that's half human and half pure black void.
As Z was getting ready for the war.
His hair changes to half white and black again and his right eye turns to dark red.
His curse starts fighting with the right side of his body while Z didn't move yet from the left side.
Z is confused.
How is he going to fight with half of his body, but before he finish the sentences...
The Curse kills the creature with joy in his half-face.
He crushes the (Kyōmen (虚面)) or the Void Face with one hand with hysterically laugh on his face.
Z went along with him and starts killing with his left body, but he's not as strong as his curse.
The Curse kills with literal black flames while Z with just normal flames.
An hour pass and dead body's were everywhere with black blood.
Z asks the Curse why did he help him this time
The Curse response was shock.
"You'll never get away from this, you owe me for now.."
Z comes back to normal just black hair as always.
He starts roaming around looking for help or a way to get out but the Kurayami talks again.
Right now you're in hell... The first level..
To get out of hell you have to finish atleast 3 of them.
"Hell?? What are you talking about??" Z spoke
This is hell where you are standing.
There's 10 levels of them. But you only need 3 to leave, staying for long will just make you lose your body.
Z must kill atleast 3 different type of creatures.
Kyōmen.(虚面)
Kūbito.(空人)
Yamihtio.(闇人)
The Kyōmen is the half faced void, they tried to leave hell but the gates refused and thrown them to the Void ending up in hell.
The Kūbito is an empty human, they stayed in the Void for more than 2 days their soul left and their body changes.
The Yamihtio is humans but mixed with demons blood with 1 small horn in the center of his forehead.
The deeper we go the harder it get.
You have to focus on your core power because I won't help you.
And yeah by the way you got 3 days to leave the trail or you'll be trapped forever...
