Summary

"A day to die for" was a phrase my dad/father always said every day when he comes home. He works as a Knight captain in the kingdom of Antonia under the leadership of King Hugo the fifth. We lived as a happy family until one day my father got sick and suffered from a stroke. He died saying only a few words: "the moment you give up life is the day you begin to take it." which left me confused, when I looked down to his resting face I was filled/overflown/overflowed with grief which resulted in my memory becoming hazy. Maybe it had a meaning. Maybe it was the missing pieces to my puzzle, only maybe's were yet to come.

Chapter Ø

“Huh? Where am I?” Said the youngster of a high class family of knight. His name is Grim Hollow, the son of the knight Rykan Hollow and the Elementalist teacher for his high school Lucinda Dabria-Hollow. The boy then looked around. After a while of searching he found a silhouette in a mask. “Wh-Who are you.” Grim Asked Meekly. He is very timid unlike his father and was very shaken by the unknown creature. He was going to touch it when it grabbed his hand. “you are the chosen one” it mumbled. “What do you mean? What makes you think so? Who even are you.” he said in fear. It removed the mask, it surprised Grim; because it WAS grim “I am your Destiny” it said. A light flooded out of its eyes glowing everywhere…

The morning, 7:45 am

“Ah!” The boy screamed, scaring the cat sleeping on his bed. “Sorry Ally” he said to the shaken but angry cat. She snarled at him, then trotted away “That cat is something else” he said to himself. He got up and walked to his door and before he opened it, his older brother came in “Oh… hi Abel” Grim said with a kind smile. His brother looked down at him with a Simular smile. His brother was a young knight in his early 20’s, he has yellow hair, unlike grim who has black hair. Another difference is that Abel’s eyes are light blue while Grim’s Eyes are vibrant green with gold pupils and unlike his hair his eyebrows were brown. His brother then said “you’re Magic, Endurance and Combat class is at 8:30 today instead of 9:00 today, I am not sure why though, just get ready before then alright?” he said to Grim kindly. Grim nodded “I get ready before 7:00 so I will be on time.” Grim proclaimed. “No problem then” Abel finished off with and walked to the door. He suddenly remembered something he opened his bag and gave his little brother an illuminating pouch “By the way” he opened up the pouch and pulled out a glowing medal. It had a maroon star and a green exterior. It also had a tiny blue stare in the middle that made it glow. “Happy birthday” Abel finished “It has many different high grade Mana stones. The one in the middle may be small but it has magic that is evenly matched with the king himself.” he boasted. Grim put it on and said “What does it do?” Grim asked. “It can work as a night light, but other than that it increases Mana storage like other stones; It also lets you unlock your passive ability” he said with a grin. Grim knew just what to do since he saw his brother activate his passive a few years back. He still could not believe he was going to unlock a passive earlier than his prodigy Brother and even get a passive a year before his dad. “Ok let’s take a gander. I believe it will be something like… Unlimited stamina” Grim Guessed “That would be an incredibly useful skill… especially if you want to tire your opponent… Too bad I have nothing like that” Abel said. This was true, Abel has an extremely rare passive but it is not as rare as unlimited stamina. His passive is called ground defiance which lets him levitate but makes him unable to move around in a flight motion. Lucky for him he has his father’s magic which is wind so he can propel himself using this magic. On the topic, Grim however has not figured out his True magic yet, but his physical prowess and agility gave him a chance. The most he can do with magic is basic Mana manipulation and the magic ball technique that everyone can do just by releasing a large amount of Compressed Mana and lunging it at targets, in fact he is very good at it since he does not need to train any other magic. His condition is rare and is called Null Magician. They are usually respected because they have maximized in other abilities like strength, and Mana manipulation. So if he gets a good passive he can possible have an ability that can be counted as magic. He held it tight and manifested his Mana using manipulation then caused a bright dark blue aura that all Mana possess. The light then dimed down and he felt nothing he shrugged his shoulders and sat down “Maybe I need more practice” he said. Then, his brother said “I don’t want you to be late so I will leave to see what my next mission will be”
