In a world filled with magic, supernatural phenomena, mystical beasts, and extraordinary powers, guilds have become a famous and common part of life for both adventurers and heroes. Humanity has evolved far beyond what anyone could have imagined hundreds of thousands of years ago.
N:
A new generation has risen—stronger and more dominant than the ones before. Among them is someone known as "The Beast Among Beasts." His name is Kariya Steel.
N:
Feared and respected by many, he became an inspiration to all who dream of becoming a Hero and a magic user. Rumor says he has never been defeated. But now, he has retired… choosing instead to spend more time with the family he cherishes.
N: Behold Ash, a 19-year-old with a heart set on a single purpose: to protect those he holds dear, to become strong enough that no harm can touch them, and to carve his own path by founding a guild destined for greatness—"SpaceXplorer."
N:At a usual calm day, morning was calm and serene, with golden sunlight spilling across the world and a gentle stillness that seemed to hold time itself.
N:Ash exhales Exasperated – He let out an exasperated sigh as no one came to his guild.
Ash: Damn it, is my guild that plain and not good looking? * He looks around at his own guild"
Ash: I guess this will just be an ordinary days without people ever coming to my guild.* He stands up from the seat*
"Suddenly —a soft knock is heard from the door"
Ash: Who's there?You can come in.
* A woman cloaked in black, tattered and mysterious, silently entered, her face hidden from view*
Woman: Are you the Guild owner here?
* Her voice soft and gentle, a contrast to her mysterious attire*
Ash: Yep, I'm the guild owner here!* Ash jabs a finger at himself*
Woman:
So the message on the wooden board is true.
* Chuckle softly*
Ash: Wooden board? Since when did I put a wooden board outside?*Goes to check outside* WHAT?!!
* Ash in his mind*"I..I recognize this cursive writing! It's definitely his doing!"*
Woman: Has something happen?
* Her voice trembled slightly,betraying herconcern over Ash's abrupt shout.*
Ash: Uhh. Don't mind me..*Nervous laugh*
Take a seat!* Gestures to a nearby seat*
Woman: Thank you. * She sits softly, her cloak shifting with every slight movements*
Ash: So urm, why did you come here today miss?* Tilt his own head slightly*
Woman: I apologize for my sudden appearance —As she lifted her cloak, revealing her face, it was a beautiful and mesmerizing sight.
Ash: Woah. *Ash eyes widen at the sight*
Woman: I came here to ask for your help. Earlier, I saw the wooden board outside—it said I could come here for assistance. So here I am. * She smiles gently*
Ash: I see. So you came here to seek my assistance?* Look at her*
Woman: Yes, that's right. I forgot to tell you my name—my name is Saika Adoberman.
Ash: Saika Adoberman. Nice to meet you! I'm Ash Xenz—just call me Ash. *He extends a hand to shake hers.*
*Saika shake the hand softly*
Saika: Nice to meet you too.
Ash: So why did you came here again?
*He sits at the chair again*
Saika: I… for this. *She lifts her long sleeves, revealing a blue cross-shaped X on her palm, the mark pulsing slowly.*
Ash: Isn't that the cross that can permanently disable a person's powers?? That's...Insane! Not to mention it's so rare that very few people got the curse!
Saika: That's why I seek your assistance, Ash. If this goes on, I won't be able to use my powers anymore.
Many people have refused to help me remove this mark from my body. You're my final hope, Ash.* Her eyes hopeful as she look at Ash's eyes*
Ash: Hmm… yeah, I can help. * He says without hesitation.*
Saika: You.. You're willing to help me?
* Her eyes are full of hope, now that Ash is willing to help her*
Ash: Yeah, I'll help you. I don't have anything to do anyway.
* Saika eyes widen and smiles wide as Ash agrees to help her, she takes Ash hand and shake it furiously*
Saika: Thank you! Thank you!
Ash: Yeah don't mind it * His body shaking violently at the hand shake*
Saika: So how can you help me Ash?!* Her voice excited*
Ash: Well...I know someone who could help us! * He takes his phone out from his pockets*
So let's go to his house.
Saika: Absolutely! I'm looking forward to meeting him!
