Chapter 1
âLoss of a Hero, Birth of a Godâ
During the (*1)âweak periodâ, there was a child who was not a royal born, his name was Taro. In the early years of his life, he was know by all as an orphan, for he had neither family nor friends and lived on the streets of Fazzen Village in Falasthria continent. It was not until his eighteenth winter that he realized that his future in this life had other plans for him than normal farming.
On the day of Silver, the young Taro walked on the streets of his beloved village. A festival was being prepared, for it was the celebration of the villageâs ancestors. As the festival was about to end, the village was attacked by a small horde of Orcâs. Men women and children where killed as the fearless Orcâs rampaged through the village unstopped. In that moment, Taro snatched a weapon from one of the dead and held his ground against he orcish horde. Hours later, the young Taro, along with the few villagers that had survived, stood in the center of the village, victorious. The young Taro then realized that a new age of war was about to begin, the (*2)âAge of Conflictâ.
Taro joined the Prophos Military shortly after the attack on Fazzen village. There, he worked his way up for ten years and gained the status as a General. But this didnât last for too long, for he realized that the military was doing more evil than good, and would not be able to last much longer in the war. Thus he left the Prophos Military in search of another way to defend the world of Arca from the evil forces of Dim City (Now KhĂśrul City). After four years of traveling, he ended in the forest of Ages, a place that held Arcaâs deepest secrets.
As he traveled through the forest of Ages to reach the ancient city of Arcania, the capital of Arca, he found a strange temple called (*3) âRoyal Memoriesâ and was the temple of Time. As he entered the strange temple that neither he nor any other had heard of, he felt a shock flow through out his body. The temple doors closed and he was trapped within the temple. At that moment, he met the Oracle of Ages, Eve Firebloom. He had never seen some one as her before in her life.
He stayed in the temple for twelve years. During his stay there, he was kept company by the Oracle of Ages, who thought him the knowledge that had been lost in the flow of Time. One day, the temple doors suddenly opened and Eve said to Taro. âYour Fate Has Been Decided, You Will Be The One To End Our Suffering.â
As Taro headed out to continue his long journey, the Oracle of Ages, Eve Firebloom, joined him.
They reached Arcania, to find it under siege. Taro rushes into the fight and lends his sword-arm to the Arcanians and aids them in defeating the attackers and defending the city. Then he, along with Eve, joins the kings (*4)Order of Wisdom.
The years passed and Taro reaches his 51 winters in the world of Arca. He had married the Oracle of Ages; Eve Firebloom 3 yearâs prior and had become the Captain of the Order of Wisdom. Taro had quickly realized that their king had been corrupt. During a period of 2 years, he worked hard on reveling this reality to the public, without much success. But one day the king made the mistake to try and surrender the city to the Dim Army. Everyone disagreed with his orders to surrender, which lead to him threatening to kill all that would not follow his command to the last letter. Taro took the chance and killed the king instantly in front of the people of Arcania. Instead of being attacked or locked up in a cell, he was asked to replace the late king of Arcania and lead them through the hard times to come. He agreed to take the place as the king of Arcania, but only because he knew that the people needed a leader in these difficult times and it was not the time to look for a new heir, other than himself. But even so, his ruling would not last for a long time. 3 years later, the main army of Dim City marched toward the city of Arcania. This would be the last stand of Arcania, which was something Taro knew.
In the first wave of enemies on the first day of battle, Taro prepared to go up against enemies much stronger than he had ever faced before. On the battlefield, he met the commander of the Dim City Army, KarâJez, who was one of the most powerful death angels of all time.
In the second wave of the first day Taro faced him in combat head on and was barely victorious, with a price that he would have to pay. Before he was able to kill the death angel, he placed a curse that would never fade, not even with the strongest magic, that each Taro that would be born would have all strengths and weaknesses of a Death Angel, thus have split personalities. Their body would bare a mark that would label them as death angels, beings of darkness.
In the same wave, he received a stab wound from a cursed weapon. Now it was only a matter of time before he died, the question was would he be able to defend the city until the battle was over before he would die.
In the last day of battle, only the Order of Wisdom (Except Eve) and Taro entered the battlefield, for they where the only force left that could protect the city. The group of 15 warriors, mages and archers stood up against an army of 300.000 Orcâs.
By Taroâs side, was his most trusted friend, (*5)Ralich Amarez, an Angel that Taro befriended on his travelâs. The battle lasted for days, until till Taro was the last one standing of the Order. Before he received the finishing blow from an Orc named (*6)Tranock Frill, he killed over 10.000 Orcâs alone.
As his soul left his body, the (*7)Ancient Gods of Arca cried. So, instead of joining the souls that entered the Golden Room to rest, he rose up to the heavens too take his place among the Gods, to take his rightful place as the God of Justice.
