Chapter 1 - shadows fragmatic journey

Prologue

 long ago at a time

 where dragons, elves, dwarves all existed in the same place.

 A tragedy has occurred at one point in time. A dragon village destroyed by humans.

 one remained with his fury he chased down the one he deemed the responsible

 For the whole thing. The oracle. The seer. Or simply not as the witch.

 The great red dragon Sen was furious and ready to rip this woman apart.

 By the time he was

 Getting to this fortress she was standing on, it was already too late. She was prepared.

 With a giant crystal behind her, she casts the spell and the great red dragon

 Saul was ripped out, and he fell upon the castle.

 well said the witch said it's time for you to experience how to be a human

 Now, I will reincarnate you into a human life.

 And at that moment, Sen, now Ray Talon, born as a human,

 went through a trial of tests of wills, and realizing he no longer really hated humans and wanted to destroy them all,

 But he understood that not everything is the same.

 eventually leading him into the night academy and going through a series of testing

 challenges even further than he ever imagined.

 Eventually getting to the point where he had himself a kingdom. The Red Wing.

 kingdom and the Red Wing army at his disposal ready to move out.

 Now they were going to deal with the biggest threat that has been plaguing the continent. The Shadow Plague.

 The Shadow Plague lands have been hostile, uninhabitable, and unusable by any species.

 They prepared to march onto one of these fortresses to conquer and take back a portion of the land.

 but something has changed before they could even start their campaign

 portal on a distant planet in another galaxy opened up.

 These scarabs reached out and communicated with the Death God.

 He was mused, offered them, and granted them power.

 transforming the scarab species into demon scarabs.

 These devastatingly powerful creatures now served him and they formed an

 colony similar to ants with a queen and preparing to conquer the universe.

 and we return back to earth as this alternate universe has transformed

 the creatures that were part of the Shadow Plague all of a sudden started disappearing.

 The humans who were infested with the shadow plague were freed.

 And all of a sudden, the shadow plague itself that infested the land had retreated back to the main fortress.

 News was informed by the Black Dragon from his master.

 and the rest of the troops were called back through the portal in preparations elsewhere.

 not realizing the portal had changed locations and was being redirected to a different planet.

 And then it closed. The black dragon there to fight whatever came his way.

 we return to where ray and his army has been beginning his march and have arrived at the first fortress

 there Gary thought to be a traitor was not

 He was kneeling, asking for forgiveness, offering his hand to take off the hammer.

 With a slash, Ray removed the hammer from his body.

 Then the hammer went back to normal.

 Since it was transformed as a gauntlet, Ray assumed it was going to be come back to a hammer.

 but it stayed as a gauntlet, so Ray equipped it, and felt his power returning to him.

 But he felt others nearby.

 So, they kept moving on, Gary coming back to his senses, but still not recognized part of the army.

 not ready for fighting anyway was simply brought along for the time being since they could not safely transport him back to the city

 But Rey had to change course, feeling a strange fortress nearby.

 So the troops detoured from their march towards the main fortress and there Ray found out about everything.

 He found his artwork that was made from his own core.

 The crystal that all creatures of such power had. And there was his old body.

 Ray was furious.

 at the witch for doing this, but he knew that since she's been working with the Red Wing Army, he could not be upset anymore.

 So he prepared and his forces to move and head back over.

 and destroy the black dragon for the last time.

 They moved and marched towards the Black Dragon's fortress.

 But this time, instead of being in a struggle to defeat him,

 this timeline it was a massacre black dragon could not fight against them all and was defeated

 his power was ripped out by ray the black dragon's power no more

 And his final words to Ray is, you have no idea what you have brought upon yourself.

 I may have failed, but there are plans beyond your understanding.

 This world will no longer be safe. He knows this planet. He knows about you. And he will not.

 be willing to lay down and go quietly he will come for this bonnet and he'll try to do everything to destroy it

 There will be no safety for you.

 And then the block dragon was dead. Ray thought about what was going on.

 and considered what everything was going on to that day, and looked towards the chaos that it has brought upon that day.

 realizing that there was more to the story than he expected.

 As time went on, Ray continued saving people and eventually reached the 99.

 That day the Empire began its campaign, finally figuring out the weapon and destroying everything.

 Ray found out his mother was tied to the very weapon. He hurried and went to rescue his mother.

 and managed to destroy the weapon and doing so finally transforming him back into the red dragon

 He took off and brought his mother home, but he was able to transform back into a human.

 For a time being, he lived with his family and his mother.

 And he slowly backed away from the family as they grew up as time went by.

 knowing that he would live forever but they would not

 At one point in time, the vampires got together. Richard Nino finally found the last few

 who have been wandering the world. These mighty twelve vampires came together and formed

 a united kingdom but they had problems

 There are humans out there who despise them and wanted to hunt every last one of them down.

 For a while they were living apart, but now their coming together to live together proved to be too difficult.

 So, Richard Ennio went to an old friend, Ray.

 The mighty dragon, Red Dragon Ray, proceeded to lend a hand.

 He had somebody who owed him a favor. A human named King Arthur. He went to visit his friend.

 Ray. Arthur, my friend. I needed your help.

 What could you need to suit your health, Ray?

 I am the mighty King Arthur, and you are a dragon. How is there anything in comparison?

 That you could be in any sense of the word need my help with well

 There is something for you.

 I could very much use your might and skills. They are friends of mine.

 who need your skills to be

 an outside force, a judge, a jury, an executioner.

 They have formed a society, but they need an outside force to be their police, their justice system.

 And you fit that role. Me, King Arthur, I have a kingdom to rule myself.

 And I have enemies knocking at my doorstep, ready destroyed. Do I look like I have the time to help you with that?

 No, my friend, I can only do so much. This is a tall favor. Wow.

 I think they could help you in a great way.

 Immorality. Immorality.

 not die and they could help you eliminate those enemies for you relatively easily

 but this power they are willing to offer you comes at a price you will no longer be human

 will be something else you will be a creature of the night will you be willing

 me the not a human and you're saying that i can live forever

 This seems other nonsense, but considering what you can do, I'll have to take it more seriously.

 but I'm going to need time, and I'm going to need to meet these people. That is fine, Arthur.

 These people would be more than willing to meet you. There are 12 leaders of this community.

 are called vampires arthur

 kingdom being through being asked to help vampires my kingdom

 Why? What madness is this? They're monsters. They're a threat to us. And you asking me to help them?

 They've been treated as a dangerous threat to humanity for ages.

 Not alone, those dangerous wolves I've heard about. Let's see, what do you call them again? Werewolves?

 Thanks to their insanity and that giant war that happened almost half a century ago, humanity is still trying to recover from it.

 i will consider talking to these vampires

 for this favor of yours and seriously consider their offer

 Thank you, author. I appreciate it. Sometime later.

 So you are these 12 vampires leaving this community, huh?

 yes we we are hi i am richard eno

 Currently we don't have a leader to uphold, to lead all of us actually.

 There's just 12 of us, and we kinda cooperate with each other.

 But for us to have a king to rule over the entire society, we need

 our own justice system an outside source one who does not need to be influenced but is equal to the king

 We had an incident in the past, an outside force.

 A vampire who wished to overrun our society. Laxmas.

 he was the 13th one of us he was a great threat

 but now we do not have to worry about him his family's destroyed he's been banished

 Luckily enough, he will no longer be a threat. He's been sealed.

 an abandoned island far away from any civilization

 But luckily enough, we had a replacement for such a person.

 We never wanted him to be the 13th family, but he decided to push himself to be the 13th, no matter what.

 deeming our current Thirteenth family to be weak and not worthy of anything.

 well that sounds like you guys have quite a bit of history already and it seems like you guys are pretty reasonable

 alright I'll take this deal what do I have to do

 I Richard Reno will perform a special ritual that will allow you to gain your powers.

 I wouldn't worry too much. You don't have to do anything. Just be prepared. You'll start noticing the changes soon.

 all right i will have a place in mind for you guys to go ahead and set up your community so you guys have a place safe and you can build the

 the kingdom hopefully you can come up with a king or do I need to oversee this as well

 at this point in time us will be deciding it and when we are ready

 we will have you come in and arbitrate for our voting for who amongst us 13 will be the king

 But I'm sure it will be no problem for you.

 Also, I don't see any mistresses for you guys. Do you not have your wives to greet?

 Wives, you say? Huh. They usually are just lesser things. Ah, hmm.

 A man can rule his castle.

 but you still need somebody to to be your arbitrator

 You can't just have a simple right hand, a left hand to do your grunt work.

 Yes, they can manage some of the affairs, but you still need your queen to help you.

 The queen is still a very important job. It's the management of the kingdom. So.

 A mistress would be beneficial.

 But since you are leaders and not kings and queens, you'll have to have to name something different there.

 a kind of subordinate role or your second in command that is not your knights

 well we have two knights for each leader so

 It can be done, but we'll have to sort this out.

 will have to come up with this new role and set up the system for this.

 That will be the first agenda for us to discuss when we vote first. Sometime later.

 Arthur had noticed the dramatic difference, how the night was so much easier to operate in.

 he was finally ready after a week or two of him running around he arbitrated this new king

 and the first family leader was named as the first king of the vampire kingdom.

 Their society had their ruler. The small changes have been noted and added.

 making things a lot more interesting.

 now that they have a way to change that they can now initiate some new stuff

 elsewhere in the world. Bliss has noticed the changes in the timeline.

 She has went ahead and informed the others.

 and went ahead and talked to the Ancient Ones about this. Ancient Ones responded, yes, we have noticed the changes.

 These changes are quite dramatic. It seems like somehow things have changed.

 Earth is behaving much more oddly than expected We'll have to monitor it more

 Please inform us of anything changing. Bliss nodded her head and left.

 and proceeded to move and deal with other things.

 Some time has gone by.

 As Rey has helped the vampires settle and deal with any grievances they have dealt with.

 Arthur was diligently working with them and getting everything sorted. The vampire society was stable.

 but now Ray had to go and focus on something else.

 The human race had discovered a way to enhance themselves, the altered.

 A hybrid of beast and human. Ray knew that this was playing with fire. He asked Blissed,

 that he needed to give his power to the humans to stop this nonsense from happening.

 He wanted him to be able to share his powers with the human race.

 So with her power, they created a special necklace that...

 Rey could wear that allows him to share his power with the humans.

 with a combination of several beasts nests

 they took this power and made it into an all

 encompassing force across the earth.

 Now that mankind has a new way of receiving powers, Rey felt at comforts.

 looking over the great ancestor of Jack, Gary Dem.

 Gary's life was going to change forever.

 Ray realized that the werewolves were going to go through another civil war once again.

 Just like it was in the past, when Jack had to deal with it.

 Remembering Jack, who is sealed away at a special tomb created by Blitz.

 They went ahead and proceeded to deal with other stuff.

 Things in the world were changing and they needed to be prepared.

 Eventually the werewolves war broke out and almost destroyed the world itself.

 But things slowly changed over time, and the alters were forgotten.

 and the turmoil that happened in the world disappeared.

 We have returned.

 Now that Ray knew that trouble was coming to the world and preparations began, an issue came up.

 Arthur and his entire group known as the Punishers

 were getting fed up with the politics and insanity that the vampire society were causing.

 So with Ray's help, he took his friend and migrated them to a planet.

 trouble was brewing across the universe and ray knew something was going on but he didn't know what

 of course somewhere else on earth in a hidden location deep

 Blitz had prepared a special altered, ready to go.

 To see everything, she managed to get a hold of an ability that allows us to see the future.

 and she enhanced it using the remaining business that she'd been collecting

 ever since the humans went to eradicate the rest of the business

 the beast crystals and everything were gone from the world but she had the remaining beast

 the very core of what made these creatures spawn

 on these planets the beasts were all collected and brought to this location she created a special

 power that allows to enhance her own ability but it can be used by others there with her is one

 of the ancient ones who were able to view everything and noticing trouble was coming.

 Noticing that one of the futures were leaning towards a great calamity.

 They knew that this was not good and started preparing.

 A dark force, the scarab beetles, were preparing to invade Earth.

 their forces were more than determined to devour everything and grant more power to their queen

 they were gathering thousands of beastness feeding it to their queen and empowering her

 preparations to open a gateway for Moratui

 the death god himself would be free by her hands

 But the ancient ones knew that they could disrupt the plans and stop the effect.

 They were already initiating their plans in working with nearby galaxies and solar systems.

 getting the gods prepared for this war and nearby blitz started having preparations for earth

 She had Ray get the Punishers ready for it.

 and she proceeded to visit the vampires and sorting out their issues

 they were still attached to the death god so she went ahead and altered their ritual with their blessings there

 Of course, Richard Eno had returned after...

 being isolated with the vampire society purely out of choice

 And of course, he had permissions to do it so he can proceed to work and help the human race. At a request from

 ray after the concerns of things happening in the world

 course it didn't only stop at the alters being a problem but other things that kept coming up

 forcing Ray to ask for Richard Inno to intervene and help steer the human race in the right direction.

 with their co-operations of those three together they prevented any major calamities but things were still happening

 over on the main world of the punishers of a human family

 who were rescued and brought over to this world.

 And of course, humans on Earth did not know about this place. This was a special place by the Punishers.

 but they were prepared in

 for war there Quintalon

 a boy who was merely one years old with his parents called running

 They knew that both of them were going to be needed for the upcoming war. The Punishers had announced this to everyone to make sure that everyone was prepared.

 of course these two were still human

 But they were going to be given the ritual to officially become members of the Punishers.

 They said that their son was too young to receive the ritual, so he'll have to wait.

 But then something changed. Orders from someone else.

 saying that the boy needed to receive a special book from Richard Inno.

 When the time is right and he's all the doubt, he will receive it.

 The book was placed under the care until the time was right. He will receive it later on as a mental...

 and the parents realized that war is going to be ugly

 weren't sure that they wanted to give it to him early so they were going to hold on to it but then it happened

 A massive invasion force showed up and began bombarding and invading the very Earth itself.

 Humans were fighting off these invaders with a great fight, struggling against them.

 But luckily enough, the military weapons were strong enough to hold them back.

 but these were just basic creatures the second wave started causing more damage

 and they began starting to lose forces. Machilleries were beginning to fail.

 somewhere on a mysterious island

 individuals were bowing their heads to a person please let us join the war

 fine you can do whatever you want

 they would have immediately come out the ones with special powers

 The families who had been hiding all this time finally revealed themselves and helped push back and...

 went ahead and started making the difference against the forces

 As the chaos was being pushed back, the third wave of these scarab demons showed up.

 The Scarab Demon's third wave was quite immense.

 these three spike creatures were truly monstrous but they managed to hold them back

 They had leaders, they were four-spike creatures, but they were only a small handful.

 Eventually the leaders of these great families managed to destroy them.

 but the losses for the human race was immense. They had never seen such technology available.

 But in due time, Richard Eno interviews such advanced technology to help them

 push across the solar system and enter another nearby solar system known as the beast solar system

 And of course there, they were getting additional help from a group known as the Vampires.

 Course, they didn't know they were the vampires. The 13 families just showed up to help them push back the forces.

 this was done before the great powers showed up so the humans with superpowers were

 Still in the readings at that point in time. But seeing...

 of factions these thirteen factions with the fourth one being the famous

 punishers who showed up once in a while to help the human race

 now show up in spaceships that made the human race completely baffled.

 realizing that there was technology available but they weren't previewed to it but they went ahead and helped and pushed back the forces

 of course they were still not enough to really push the for the enemy forces completely back at the time

 but as soon as the powers came in the initial invasion force was defeated

 and they were able to begin going into the beast solar system and conquering planets

 The 13 factions established their locations and began setting up.

 They managed to push the enemy almost completely out. Only a mere 25%

 of the beast solar system remained they were able to hold on to those planets

 A ceasefire was called. Human race was pushed too thin.

 and they could not push all the way through and even with the new allies that showed up to help they were still not enough to completely wipe them out but they were able to hold the line

 Bye.

 many losses that day and even the coming weeks of them securing the B solar system

 the human race had to rebuild but with this new technology that came through

 the several years of rapid growth and changes

 and the human race spreading across their solar system and the b solar system was truly immense and of course the

 the punisher faction was occupying an entire solar system by themselves and they opened up the gate that led to theirs and they began

 sorting out everything now that the human race had access to two different solar systems

 they could do quite a bit more.

 Of course, it wasn't so long until Quintelon

 Five-year-old Dwin Callan found out his parents perished during the war.

 he was given a book by one of the elders of the Punishers and

 gave him their sorry for his loss.

 Quintalwin was then brought a caretaker to watch over the boy, make sure that he was right.

 All right.

 The military wanted to make sure that he was brought in to be taken care of.

 they had schools ready to deal with many of these orphans and and make sure they wanted him to be brought into proper

 public education the

 punishers decided to go ahead and give the boy over to them to be watched but they made sure that he was well taken care of

 At that time He grew up

 struggling against the fact that he had no parents had no ability and was having to deal with everything else

 The Punishers refused to give him ability until he was old enough.

 They wanted to make sure that he was at the right age before they gave him an ability.

 They told him as soon as he got into the academy they would actually give him a proper ability.

 But it was only until the time was right.
